Your Salvation Doesn’t Depend on Following the Old Testament Laws

About this episode

Greg discusses the misconception that following Old Testament laws is necessary for salvation and addresses related theological questions.

Greg talks about a card he received from a group saying we have to follow the Old Testament laws to be saved, then he answers questions about what happens to everyone who doesn’t trust in Jesus, making a case God sustains the universe, and a couple in a celibate same-sex marriage serving in a church.
