Are You Good, Evil or Both?

About this episode

Dr. Andrew Farley discusses interpretations of biblical texts and the nature of good and evil in relation to believers.

Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say "begotten"? What does "begotten" refer to? Hasn't Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit?
