Summary

Bo and I reunite their bromance in the Homebrewed Bat Cave after some summer vacationing. There were some brews, delicious cigars, HBC Deacon Shout Outs, & two very giggly theology nerds. We had plans to respond to a respond to a bunch of awesome Deacon sent questions...BUT the good Dr. Daniel Kirk got us distracted. Kirk recently blogged about a past episode of TNT “Nerd Out: Leaving Church, Packing Heat, and Metaphysical Violence” and had some pretty serious questions. In his post "Empire & Cross" where he asks: So, my lingering question for the metaphysics of the non-violent, non-coercive God is this: what do we make of the other parts of the story that make Jesus, and Jesus’ God, look like those forces of coercive power we otherwise see Jesus repudiating? Are those simply bad readings of the passages in question? Or, do we exercise a revisionist hermeneutic in light of [parts of] the Gospels? Bo and I attempted to respond. We definitely had fun...so much fun I ended up telling a story about explosive bowels. We hope you enjoy it!  Follow the podcast, drop a review, send feedback/questions or become a member of the HBC Community. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
