Summary
Dr. JB Hixson
Mary welcomes back JB Hixson to discuss one of the greatest literary devices in the Bible, the Paradox. Even though the carnal mind might view them as contradictions, what is really in view is the comparison between what we might think the Kingdom of God is, verses the reality that has the power to destroy the loftiest goals or ideals that man might have and bring to their reading of the Bible. What is a paradox? What are some examples? How do they help renew our minds, have a solid biblical worldview, challenge our thinking daily? Paradoxes are powerful, and we must learn to live in the tension they present to understand the Kingdom of God. A thoughtful hour with JB on a fascinating topic.
