'How do we imagine such a being giving the first rip about our existence?'
In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, titled 'Of Amoebas and Men – Redefining Faith #3', the three failed pastors tackle the significance of the Trinity in Christian doctrine. The hosts, Kent and Nathan, bring their unique perspectives to explain why understanding the Trinity isn't just about getting doctrine right, but about deepening one's faith and connection with God.
They use the metaphor of humans relating to amoebas to illustrate the vast difference between God and humanity, questioning how a being so superior could care about our existence. Through light-hearted banter and serious theological discussion, they explore common misconceptions about the Trinity, like the idea that God revealed himself as one in the Old Testament and as three in the New Testament. Instead, they argue that God has always been one and has always revealed himself as three persons.
Nathan shares his thoughts on why this matters deeply to him, touching on themes of creation, existential despair, and the human need for connection. The episode also contrasts Christian views with those of other religions, particularly Islam's Unitarian perspective of God. By the end of the episode, you'll find yourself pondering profound questions about faith, worship, and what it means to be in a relationship with a divine being.
Don't miss out on this engaging discussion that blends humour with deep theological insights.
