Summary
Skip the banter by jumping to 9:06. Joe and Jimmy are back to discuss one of the most important and fundamental questions humanity must seek to answer. From the Baptist Catechism, question 7 asks, “What is God?” What does it mean that God is a spirit, and why does Joe want everyone to memorize this Q&A from the catechism? Plus, Jimmy offends a “lady,” and Joe gets beat up by his wife.
Baptist Catechism Question 7.
Q. What is God?
A. God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.
