Pastor I hope you see this. I just want to thank you for doing this series. I am not a member of you congregation or frankly live anywhere near. But I found this on my own and watched all three sermons. Everything you said rings true with me. My faith in Jesus as my lord and savior has never faltered. I know I need to work on walking his path. What has faltered is my faith in the church. Hearing you speak that the questions and doubts I have are valid was great. Knowing that deconstructing some of those things and reconstructing a better faith is possible. I was also glad to hear that it’s ok to not be the perfect image of god. That is a standard I can never reach because I am a sinner. Thank you for this.

How unfortunate. If you want academic answers look up Dan McClellan, Michael Heiser, Dale Allison, and Kipp Davis.
