About this episode

Greg addresses questions about reconciling death before the fall with biblical texts and other theological inquiries.

Greg answers questions from callers about how one could reconcile the presence of death before the fall with Romans 5 and 8, whether the Bible will still play a role in the new earth, how we know when a psalm is a messianic prophecy, and whether there are strings attached to our free salvation.
