About this Episode

Greg answers questions on whether God fulfilled his promise to Abraham, Jesus’ knowledge of germs, whether the story of Job debunks the “T” in “TULIP,” and whether we could say the universe has always existed since there was never a “time” when it did not exist.   Topics:
  1. How can we say God fulfilled his promise to Abraham in Genesis 15:18 since Israel has never had that whole area of land? (02:00)
  2. Why didn’t the all-knowing, all-powerful Jesus know about germs? (24:00)
  3. Does the story of Job debunk the “T” in “TULIP” since God said Job was righteous? (36:00)
  4. Could we say the universe has always existed since there was never a “time” when it did not exist? How can we not conclude the universe is as old as God is if he was atemporal before the creation of the universe and time began when the universe was created?(48:00)
