Join us on Calibrate Conversations as we explore "The Widening of God's Mercy," a new book by Richard B. Hayes and his son, Christopher B. Hayes. This episode unpacks the unexpected shift in Richard's perspective, a retired New Testament professor once known for his staunch defense of traditional biblical marriage. Together with Christopher, a professor at Fuller Seminary, they present a more inclusive stance on sexuality, which has stirred controversy and conversation within both evangelical and LGBTQ communities. We analyze their use of terms like "inclusive" and "hospitality" and challenge their assumptions about human sexuality from a conservative Christian viewpoint.
Listen in as we navigate the complexities of interpreting God's character across the Old and New Testaments, especially concerning LGBTQ inclusion in the church. We discuss how some scholars might misinterpret biblical stories, like those involving child sacrifice, and explore the implications of open theism versus dispensational theology. Our conversation emphasizes that God's nature remains unchanged even as His interactions with humanity evolve, offering insights into the balance between scriptural authority and contemporary societal issues.
This episode highlights the transformative power of God's mercy and the need for a compassionate, yet biblically grounded approach to modern debates on sexuality. Through personal stories and scriptural analysis, we invite you to consider a narrative that honors God's unchanging truth while engaging with the complexities of human experience.
Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!
