Podcasts are the best.
I especially like listening to The Rewatchables, which is a podcast where a group of 2-4 people discuss their favorite “rewatchable” movies.
During the last episode I listened to they were talking about Ghost. (A movie I haven’t seen before… I know, I know, I should make it a point to watch it.) Since the movie is about someone’s loved one being killed and then returning as a ghost it didn’t take long for the conversation to come to a discussion about the afterlife.
Several years ago I watched a pretty intense and illuminating debate on the Trinity between two people who (obviously) did not share the same belief. One believed the God who revealed himself within the Scriptures revealed himself as triune (i.e., the Trinity). The other manifestly believed he did not. For him, God is “one”—case closed (i.e., Unitarian).
If the beginning of the end wasn’t when Jesus rode into Jerusalem as a king, it most assuredly was when Judas brought a crowd to arrest him. From that point forward Jesus would no longer walk freely throughout the land with his disciples. From here on out he’d be bound, either by chains or by nails to a cross.
