Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas J Oord

This podcast episode represents the culmination of an enlightening journey into the notion of "amipotence," as articulated by Dr. Thomas J. Oord. On this Good Friday, we engage in a profound discourse regarding Dr. Oord's revolutionary ideas, which challenge the conventional understanding of divine omnipotence, positing instead that God embodies uncontrolling love. Our esteemed guests, Dr. Oord and Josh Patterson, join hosts Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell to explore the implications of these theological insights, particularly in relation to human agency and the nature of love. The conversation further delves into the narrative complexities presented by characters such as Kilgrave from Marvel's "Jessica Jones," fostering a rich dialogue around the intersections of power, control, and love. This episode not only reflects on previous discussions but also invites listeners to contemplate the broader implications of these ideas in their own lives and faith journeys.The episode culminates in a rich exploration of the intersection between theology, ethics, and popular culture, utilizing the character of Mr. Purple from the Jessica Jones series as a focal point for our discussions on control, love, and agency. In analyzing Mr. Purple's coercive abilities, we confront the ethical dilemmas posed by his actions and their implications for our understanding of divine love. I assert that if love is to be genuine, it must be free from coercion, prompting a reevaluation of how we perceive power in both divine and human contexts. This leads us to a critical examination of the premise that God's omnipotence should be reconceptualized as omnibenevolence—an all-encompassing love that respects the autonomy of creation. Through this lens, we invite our listeners to consider the transformative potential of adopting a theology that prioritizes relationality and love over mere power, ultimately fostering a more profound connection with the divine and with one another.Takeaways: Dr. Thomas J. Oord's concept of amipotence emphasizes God's nature as all-loving rather than all-powerful, fundamentally altering theological perspectives. In examining the implications of Jesus's sacrifice, we must confront the paradox of a suffering God and the nature of divine love. The discussions surrounding the character Kilgrave from Marvel comics serve as a poignant analogy for understanding coercive power versus loving influence in relationships. The panelists argue that true love cannot exist within a framework of coercion, highlighting the necessity of free will in authentic relationships. This episode serves as a culmination of previous dialogues, providing a comprehensive reflection on the evolution of thought regarding omnipotence and its alternatives. Dr. Oord invites listeners to engage with his forthcoming systematic theology of love, inviting community input on theological discourse. .Check out the episode of Systematic Geekology on Mr Purple and amipotence:https://systematic-geekology.captivate.fm/episode/from-omnipotence-to-amipotence-rethinking-divine-control-through-jessica-jones/.Listen to our earlier panel episode on Amipotence with Tom, Josh, Nick Polk, and Aaron Simmons:https://the-whole-church-podcast.captivate.fm/episode/amipotence-a-whole-church-panel-discussion/.Don't miss any of the episodes we have done with Tom Oord:

This week, I welcome Dr. Thomas J. Oord to the podcast to discuss process philosophy, relational theology, and his defense of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christian spaces. As someone who is comfortable identifying as an atheist and still has a lot of resentment towards her conservative Baptist upbringing, Oord's approach to theology and his emphasis on building relationships as a key feature of his ministry was a breathe of fresh aid.

PART 4 of 4: Many Christians wonder how it is possible to be LGBTQ+ affirming in light of what most people assume to be a clear anti-Gay message in the bible. This episode summarizes all the verses we've studied so far, and weighs them against the larger backdrop of the Biblical principles of Love, Grace, and how we are called to treat others. Love doesn't necessarily mean accepting everything others do, and all though under the law of love, everything is permitted, not everything is beneficial--but love also desires more than just compelling others to do good. It desires their THRIVING. In this special 4-part series, Kelly examines how affirming Bible scholars view the 6 verses in the Bible that deal with same-sex relationships in the context of their time and place, and ask whether these really are sweeping prohibitions of all same-sex relationships, or are about specific issues in a certain time--including violence, idolatry, and religious difference--that may not apply to modern LGBTQ+ people and relationships.

How do you re-engage with God after deconstruction? How do you get over some of those major hurdles--the violence, exclusion, injustice and other problems that make traditional theology hard to swallow? Thomas Oord--theologian, writer, professor, and director of the Center for Open and Relational Theology--talks with us about the book that he and Tripp Fuller just released, God After Deconstruction. Together, these innovative theological minds systematically address the top problems that people have with modern Christianity, and take on each of them head-on. Oord offers thoughtful responses to many of the burning issues that are driving people away from churches, and presents some of the concepts of Open and Relational Theology, which many are finding as a reasonable yet faithful way of encountering God all over again.

In this episode, Justin and Matt speak with Tripp Fuller and Thomas J Oord on the general topic of "God after Deconstruction" which is the title of a two-day event they are hosting at Drew University Feb 9 - 10.

[Part 1 of this two-parter: God, People, Prayer, Mystery: People Need to Pray More]Most Christians believe God is all-loving and all-powerful, but if this is the case, why does evil exist and how does prayer fit into the equation? Part two continues the conversation with author and theologian, Thomas J. Oord, explaining a specific belief in God termed "Open Theism."  Open Theists suppose that not only is God limited in power, but for God to make people with true freewill, the future isn't knowable even to Him.  While most Christians lend no credence to this theological framework, it's yet another way in which  many Christians have attempted to reconcile human suffering with the existence of "an all-loving God."    These questions have been baffling the deepest of thinkers for thousands of years.  It's Jack Hoey, Joey Svendsen and Chip Judd with Thomas J. Oord, taking a deep dive into the existence of God and evil.Thomas J.

Back again, Christian Ashley and Joshua Noel continue their discussion on God and salvation with Thomas J. Oord. This time they are joined by Dr Oord's daughter, Alexa Oord, to discuss how Christians should love the LGBTQ+ community? Can you love queer people without being affirming? Can correction be loving? What does it mean to be queer? What does it mean to question "womanhood" or "manhood"? Is the Bible really clear about same-sex attraction? What does it mean to be queer? Does God prioritize healthy relationships? Can any relationship be a distraction from kingdom work? Why do some Christians say it's okay to be gay? Why do some Christians think it is a sin to be homosexual? What does LGBTQI mean? What does it mean to be affirming of same-sex marriages or the LGBTQ+ community?

Welcome to a very special bonus episode where the "Let Nothing Move You" podcast and "The Whole Church Podcast" collaborate in an interview with Dr Thomas J Oord to discuss his newest book, "The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence"! Hosts Joshua Noel and Christian Ashley both present their different views on the power of God and the inerrancy of Scripture and discuss with Dr Oord, his view that we should completely do away with both of these words. Can God create a rock that He can't lift? Can God tell a lie? Does the Bible say that God has all power? Does the Bible say that God created alone? Can God really be loving if He has the power to stop sexual assaults from happening and chooses not to? If God is not all powerful, is He a wimp? Can God be God if He is restrained in His power and exists in our own timeline? And how can we have unity in the Church with such fundamental disagreements? We discuss it all in this one!

Thomas J Oord joins us today to discuss his books, "Open and Relation Theology", "God Can't", and "The Death of Omnipotence... and the Birth of Amipotence". Host, Joshua Noel, discusses his own views in contrast to an open and relational theological perspective, and they discuss what makes open and relational theology more appealing to some. Is open and relational theology the same as process theology? Does God have limits? What is the point of God if He is not in control? How does God experience time? Is Scripture trustworthy and authoritative? Does the Bible have real mistakes in it? We discuss all this and more!

Markus vastaa kolmeen kuulijakysymykseen: 1. Monesti kuulee sanottavan, että kaikissa uskonnoissa on kysymys pohjimmiltaan samasta asiasta. Mitä mieltä olet tästä? Johtavatko kaikki uskonnot samaan paikkaan? Kristinuskossa on kolme perusnäkemystä asiasta: 1) eksklusivismi, jonka mukaan vain kristityt voivat pelastua; 2) pluralismi, jonka mukaan pelastukseen on monia teitä, joista Jeesus on vain yksi; 3) inklusivismi, jonka mukaan Jeesus on ainoa pelastaja, mutta myös ei-kristityt voivat pelastua hänen kauttaan. 2. Jos aikakone keksitään joskus, voiko kristitty käyttää sitä hyvällä omallatunnolla? Liittyykö aikamatkustukseen teologisia kysymyksiä? Vastaus: Kyllä liittyy. 3. Tapahtuuko ihmeitä? Esimerkiksi parantaako Jumala tänä päivänä sairaita? Kysymykseen on vaikea vastata, koska tapa jolla ihmeet ymmärretään nykyään (yliluonnollinen eli fysiikan lakeja rikkova tapahtuma, joka on seurausta Jumalan väliintulosta) on kaukana kristinuskon klassisesta ihmekäsityksestä. Apua saattaa löytyä avoimesta ja relationaalisesta teologiasta, jossa Jumalan ajatellaan toimivan maailmassa suostuttelemalla.

The second episode of 2019 is here! This week I am joined by our first returning guest Dr. Thomas J. Oord to talk about his forthcoming book "God Can't." In this book Thomas has ambitiously proposed a solution to the greatest theological/philosophical question to in human existence... If God is good then, why does evil exist in the world?It was such a joy to have Tom back on the show and I can not recommend his latest book enough. In this episode we push back against the traditional metaphysics of God's omnipotence. We talk about a better way to understand how God is "Almighty," the continued work of God beyond the grave, and how God heals via the cooperation of all of creation. God Can't will be available in all formats by the end of the month but will be ready for purchase on Amazon on the January 10th!You can connect with Tom and get his new book here:GodCant.comthomasjayoord.comTom's Facebook and TwitterSubscribe to Signposts!

What is love? For something so familiar to the human experience, love is notoriously difficult to define, explain, and articulate, and even harder to embody. Our guest Thomas J. Oord has spent the last two decades thinking about the theology, science, and philosophy of love.

Welcome back to Episode 104 of the Brew Theology Podcast. Ryan and friends, Jesse & Rob, interview Dr. Mark George in this show titled, "Honest to God." Let’s begin with a proposition: the time has come to retire the wide-spread notion that “God is love.” It’s time, instead, to embrace what the ancient Israelite writers of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament knew so well, that God is a lot of things, love being only one of them. Okay... ready to brew? More on Dr. George, below.
