Does Jesus Christ innately possess the divine attribute of immortality? This week's episode contrasts Yahweh's innate immortality (the inability to die) with Jesus Christ, who gave himself up to die on the cross. Jesus did something God cannot do: stop living. God gave Jesus immortality at the resurrection, but the Son is not innately immortal, proving he is not fully God.

Does Jesus Christ possess the divine attribute of impassibility? This week's episode contrasts Yahweh's impassibility (the inability to suffer) with Jesus Christ, who suffered, bled, and died on the cross. Christ plainly taught that he would suffer, and he showed his wounds after his resurrection. The Son is not impassible.

Does Jesus Christ possess the divine attributes of immutability and aseity? This week's episode contrasts Yahweh's immutability with Jesus Christ's repeated acts of changing. Christ plainly taught that he was not a se, meaning he was not an eternal Son. Despite God granting Jesus unending life at the resurrection, the Son is neither immutable nor possessed of aseity.

History and literature are full of dramatic stories involving deathbed conversions and the administering of what is often called last rites. So perhaps it's understandable that many people, when they think of the sacrament of anointing the sick, assume it is something reserved for those who are gravely ill or injured, or on the brink of death. Alternatively, they might imagine that the purpose of the sacrament is to pray for a miraculous healing.    The sacrament of anointing the sick is called a sacrament of healing—but so is the sacrament of reconciliation. So what Is anointing the sick primarily about? Is it intended to cure people? Is it only for those in danger of imminent death?   On this episode of Glad You Asked, theologian LaRyssa D. Herrington talks to the hosts about the significance and purpose of this widely-misunderstood sacrament. Herrington recently completed her doctoral studies in Systematic Theology and Liturgical Studies at the University of Notre Dame. She is the author and co-author of several peer-reviewed articles and has written popular articles for the National Catholic Reporter and here at U.S. Catholic.    Learn more about the topic using these links.  "Why do Catholics anoint the sick?" by Anne McGowan   "The church must listen to disability justice advocates," by Allison Connelly-Vetter   "Disabled Catholics deserve more than parish accessibility," by Madison Chastain   "Should we celebrate more sacraments at Mass?" by John Kyler   "Why did God choose Mary?" by LaRyssa Herrington  

Does Jesus Christ possess the divine attribute of omniscience? This week's episode contrasts Yahweh's all-knowingness with Jesus Christ's repeated portrayal as lacking omniscience. Christ increased in wisdom, he was taught by God, he learned obedience, and he admitted his ignorance of the day and hour of the second coming. Despite God highly empowering the Son, the Son is not all-knowing.

Welcome! We're glad you're here.

“The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.” — Proverbs 19:8 Wisdom doesn't just shape what we believe. It shapes how we live—including how we handle money. That's why prudence has long been considered one of the cardinal virtues. It's not a word we use every day, but it speaks directly to the way Christians make decisions, set priorities, manage resources, and seek to honor God with what He has entrusted to us. In this new series on the financial virtues, Dr. Greg Forster, Affiliate Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) and Executive Director of the Christian Investing Council (CIC), joined the show today to discuss prudence and why faithful stewardship requires more than financial knowledge. What Is Virtue? Before we can understand prudence, we first need to understand virtue. Dr. Forster defines virtue as becoming a Christlike person. It is not merely doing the right thing outwardly. It is developing Christlike qualities in our character so that we obey God from the heart. Jesus often exposed the danger of outward obedience without inward transformation. He spoke of “whitewashed tombs” that looked clean on the outside but were full of death within. He also warned against cleaning the outside of the cup while leaving the inside filthy. Those images remind us that God cares not only about what we do, but also how and why we do it. That is especially important when it comes to money. Faithful stewardship is not a checklist. It is not simply giving a certain amount, following a set of financial rules, or making decisions that appear responsible on the surface. Stewardship is relational. It is part of our worship. It is one way we bring our whole selves before the Lord and say, “This belongs to You. How can I use it for Your purposes?” The Cardinal Virtues and the Christian Life The cardinal virtues—prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice—come from a long tradition in Christian moral reflection. The word “cardinal” comes from the Latin word for the hinge of a door. These virtues are “hinge” virtues because they help guide and shape the others. Christian ethics has often distinguished between theological virtues, which are known through God's revelation in Scripture, and moral virtues, which are more broadly recognized because God has made His moral order known through creation and conscience. That matters for two reasons. First, it reminds us that all people are accountable to God. Even those who have never read the Bible still live in God's world and bear His image. Second, it gives us a foundation for shared life with neighbors who may not share our faith. There are moral truths people can recognize because God has woven them into the world He made. Among those moral virtues, prudence has often been seen as especially important because it helps us discern how to put wisdom into practice. What Is Prudence? Prudence is often described as wisdom in action. It is not simply about having good goals. It is knowing the right means to pursue those goals faithfully. As Dr. Forster explained, we often say, “The ends don't justify the means.” In other words, having a good goal does not give us permission to pursue it in careless, wasteful, or sinful ways. Prudence helps us ask, "What is the right course of action?" What is the wise path forward? How do we pursue good ends in a way that honors God? That makes prudence deeply practical. It moves us from abstract desire to concrete obedience. It is one thing to say, “I want to be more Christlike,” or “I want to be a faithful steward.” It is another thing to ask, “What decision should I make today? What habit needs to change? What plan will help me move toward faithfulness?” Prudence is where the rubber meets the road. Prudence in Scripture The book of Proverbs is one of the clearest places we see prudence in Scripture. Proverbs repeatedly teaches that God cares not only about the goals we pursue, but also the path we take to reach them. Wisdom is practical. It shows up in our words, our work, our planning, our relationships, and our use of money. Jesus also points us toward prudence when He tells His disciples to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Innocence matters, but so does wisdom. Christ calls His people to pursue holiness with careful thought, discernment, and faithfulness. Paul gives a similar charge in Ephesians 5:15–16: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time.” That is a call to prudence. We are to pay attention to how we live, how we spend our days, and how we steward the opportunities God gives. Prudence draws us closer to Christ by moving us beyond surface-level obedience. It asks us to bring our motives, priorities, decisions, and plans under His lordship. Why Financial Rules Are Not Enough Financial rules can be helpful. Budgets, savings goals, debt repayment plans, and investment strategies all have their place. But rules alone cannot produce faithful stewardship. God is not merely after outward compliance. He desires fellowship with His people. Dr. Forster illustrated this by pointing to human relationships. We would never say in our families or friendships that motives do not matter as long as someone does the right thing. A parent does not merely want a child to obey externally while remaining distant, resentful, or unchanged inwardly. The same is true in our relationship with God. If we are only asking, “What is the minimum I have to do with my money to feel like I've done my duty?” we are missing the deeper invitation. God calls us to see all that we have as His and to ask how we can use it for His purposes. That kind of stewardship is not mechanical. It is worshipful. Wisdom in Action Prudence is wisdom in action. It is the virtue that helps us choose the right means to faithfully pursue God's ends. As Christians, we do not manage money merely to become more efficient, comfortable, or secure. We manage what God has entrusted to us because He is Lord over all of life. That means our financial decisions are never just financial. They are spiritual. They reveal what we value, what we trust, and what kind of people we are becoming. And by God's grace, prudence helps us become stewards who do not merely know what is right, but who increasingly learn to walk in wisdom. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: Last year, I sold gold nuggets on eBay for about $7,000 and received a 1099. When I filed my taxes, I paid tax on the full amount, even though eBay charged more than $1,000 in seller fees. Once I receive my refund, can my tax preparer file an amended return so those fees are deducted? Several years ago, my son and daughter-in-law borrowed about $6,500 from us to build a tiny house. They're now selling it at a loss and using the proceeds to repay us, with about a $3,000 net loss overall. Are there any sales tax or income tax consequences for them or for us, or is this simply a personal loss? I recently tried to pay in cash, but the business said they couldn't make change and would have to keep the difference, which pushed me to use a card. Then I had a conversation with someone interested in Bitcoin. As Christians, how should we think about digital money, Bitcoin, and the move away from cash? What's the wisest way to approach it?

In fact, Christ often spoke about his inability to do things apart from God's leading and authority. Despite God highly empowering the Son, the Son remains subject to God.

How do theology professors at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne help shape future church workers? The Rev. Dr. Gifford Grobien (The David P. Scaer Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Assistant Provost, and Director of DMin Program, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) and the Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Boyle (Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry and Missions, Director of Field Education, and Director of SMP program, Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne) join Andy and Sarah for our Set Apart to Serve series to talk about their various vocations and interests, the specific areas of theology they each teach at CTSFW, how these areas of expertise are important in forming future pastors and deaconesses, the student experience at CTSFW, and their words of encouragement for anyone considering a church work vocation. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

First Peter 3:18 states that Christ was "put to death in the flesh." Does this language hint at the possibility that Jesus only partially died (i.e., in his flesh) while another unnamed part (or nature) continued living? This episode explores the meaning of Jesus' death in the flesh to determine whether Jesus is a God-man possessing two natures. Spoiler alert: he isn't.

John chapter 6 presents Jesus as the bread from heaven, the Son of Man who offers life to those who partake of his bread and wine. The episode grounds the Bread of Life discourse in its Jewish context—personified Wisdom in Proverbs, the Son of Man indwelt by heavenly Wisdom in 1 Enoch, and Philo's view of manna as Wisdom—showing that the Son of Man preexists as personified Wisdom/Word rather than as a conscious person.  To view the video version of this episode, go here: https://youtu.be/BavTfHYkxto                       Visit Amazon to buy your copy of A Systematic Theology of the Early Church: https://amzn.to/47jldOc    Visit Amazon to buy your copy of Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://amzn.to/3JBflHb     Visit Amazon to buy your copy of The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus: https://amzn.to/43DPYey    To support this podcast, donate here: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks    Episode notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lRCFTf4ZcmZdCxjyOwA-5wp7uRoa68QYqYMofCs5qV4/edit?usp=sharing   Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast        Follow on Instagram: https://Instagram.com/biblicalunitarianpodcast  Follow on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast

In this episode, we examine a striking shift in biblical scholarship: fewer and fewer experts now affirm that Jesus is the only true God. I compare two major surveys published in 2025 that reveal the same trend among everyday American Bible readers — a clear majority no longer believe Jesus is God. At the same time, interest in Unitarianism is surging.

While many interpreters see Isaiah 9:6 as a prediction of the birth of Jesus Christ, in its original context, the passage actually described King Hezekiah. This episode offers five arguments for reading this oracle concerning the Prince of Peace in terms of Hezekiah and his just reign in the 8th century BC.

In this episode, Pat is joined by Peter Sammons to talk about the doctrine of imputation and his new book, "What's Missing from the Evangelical Gospel?" Peter Sammons is Professor of Systematic Theology and Director of Academic Advancement at Founder's Seminary. He is also the author of several books, including "The Forgotten Attributes of God" and "Reprobation and God's Sovereignty."

Theologian and historian Dr. Martin Erdmann explores the concept of Orwellian perpetual war in the modern era. Drawing on the works of George Orwell and historian Harry Elmer Barnes, Erdmann argues that contemporary conflicts like the war in Ukraine are often “phony wars” designed for domestic control rather than military victory. The discussion suggests that global elites use these manufactured tensions to consolidate power, build up technocratic defense industries, and forestall economic collapses through national debt. Erdmann interprets the rise of multipolarity and regional blocs—such as the European Union and Eurasian Union—as strategic steps toward a unified world federation. Ultimately, the conversation frames these geopolitical shifts within a biblical worldview, asserting that the global movement toward a single world government and currency aligns with prophetic history.

This episode explores the language and meaning behind the fullness of God dwelling in Christ (Col 1:19). Beginning by setting the verse in its context of Wisdom Christology, we turn to examine the verse's often-overlooked origins in Psalm 68:16. Finally, we look at Sirach's portrayal of God sending his wisdom to dwell in the temple, specifically by becoming incarnate in Simon the high priest. The result is a christologically-rich illustration of Jesus, the climactic embodiment of God's wisdom.
