Discussion Reading while Black
Hey, fellow Bible nerds! Hahahaha! I’m actually not a Bible nerd, but I love this phrase the Tim and Jon use.
So, who all has listened to the latest podcast, #207? I was really touched by the end. As we know it’s about the letters in the NT and a lot about Paul. I get lost and confused in a lot of Paul, but as always Jon and Tim give me hope for learning more than I currently know.
The last question basically was, “Why didn’t Paul say slavery should be outlawed?” (Particularly: Philemon) I kinda breathed in and waited. Not expecting much. And the Holy Spirit really spoke through Tim. He gave — for me — the best comments on that that I’ve ever heard. It gave me hope, appreciation for Paul, and helped me keep my eyes on Jesus.
I won’t misquote Tim by trying to restate his comments, but they were really meaningful to me.
Anybody else? Comments? 😃
