Being Fully Christian

About this episode

The episode discusses the limitations of modern Gnosticism and emphasizes the importance of being fully Christian through theological insights from 1st John.

I met a young man who considered himself a modern "Gnostic" - and I learned about the dire limitations of his faith. We look at 1st John, a deeply theological letter that strives to set the reader straight on the basic tenets of Christian faith. We look at issues such as Christ being both fully human and fully man, at the source of love, and the need to recognize the reality of sin. We see why being fully Christian is so important today.
