The determinetruth Podcast

In 2013, Christianity Today named Carolyn Custis James one of the 50 evangelical women to watch. She is an award-winning author. 

In this episode, Rob interviews Carolyn to discuss her work and how she came to understand the Scripture's call for men and women to recognize that we are called to work together for the Kingdom of God and the flourishing of the church as well as individuals. Carolyn shares her story of how she struggled for a number of years as a single woman and how the church's message that women are to marry and have children didn't allow a place for her and others like her to flourish. 

Carolyn’s Website and blog: note, links to her books may be found on her website

What may be one of the most significant chapters in the Bible, Rob and Vinnie discuss 1 Cor 15 and the resurrection. They address a number of questions: including, the significance of the resurrection; why it is that without the resurrection our belief is in vain; why are we suffering if there is no resurrection; and what is the nature of our resurrection body? 

They also address what Paul might mean when he refers to "baptism for the dead." And what about those who appeal to this chapter to support the rapture? 

And, finally, why the resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope!

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie discuss communion. What is communion? What is its significance? What does it represent? Why do some churches not let others take communion? How often should we take communion? And what does it mean to take communion "in an unworthy manner?"

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie discuss 1 Cor 11:2-16. Does Paul teach that the man is the head of the women, or is this a misreading of 1 Corinthians? Are women supposed to have a head covering? Or is that something Paul's opponents in Corinth were arguing and Paul then responds to them? Rob and Vinnie take on Complementarianism v Egalitarianism.

In this episode, Rob and Vinnie continue their overview of 1 Corinthians by looking at 1 Cor 8-10. In this passage, Paul responds to some in Corinth that were claiming that since there is only one God and since other gods do not exist, it is acceptable for Christians to attend pagan banquets which we in honor of pagan gods. Paul responds by noting that the meat which was sold in the marketplace may be acceptable to buy and eat--unless it causes others to stumble--but attending pagan banquets in honor of a deity is not acceptable. Even if they have these rights, then should not use those rights because it will cause others to stumble. 

This raises the question of Christian love and what it looks like today. we willing to sacrifice our "rights" for the sake of others? 

Do we "run the race" so as to win the prize?
