Why Weren’t We Made Sinless in the First Place?

About this episode

Greg discusses various theological questions including the nature of sin, morality in conception, and the understanding of the Holy Spirit's equality with the Father and Jesus.

Greg answers questions about why we weren’t made sinless in the first place, the morality of using donor sperm to conceive, whether we would conclude the Holy Spirit is equal to the Father and Jesus without the Nicene Creed, how God knows the future, and baptism for the dead.
