Is the A-Theory vs. B-Theory of Time a False Dichotomy?

Stand to Reason Weekly Podcast

Greg answers questions about whether the A-theory vs. B-theory of time is a false dichotomy, why Jesus had to suffer before dying for our sin, gender dysphoria, and how we know we haven’t simply deluded ourselves into thinking we have good evidence for our faith. Topics:

1. Is the A-theory vs. B-theory of time a false dichotomy when it comes to God and his nature? (04:00)
2. If death was the penalty for sin, why did Jesus have to suffer before dying for our sin? What’s the biblical basis for suffering for sin? (20:00)
3. Toleration of gender dysphoria doesn’t make sense on three different grounds. (37:00)
4. How do we as believers know we haven’t simply deluded ourselves into thinking we have good evidence for our faith? Is there a way to independently verify that we’re seeing things objectively? (47:00)
