As the student questions series continues, I’m talking through ideas for conversation inspired from a text we use in Core Theology class at Concordia University-Irvine–Called to Believe by Steven Mueller. In this episode we continue with chapter 12, which discusses the means of grace.
Some thought prompts for discussion:
- Neither closed nor open communion are consistent with the will of God or His good message. Is there an alternative?
- No human being has the authority to forgive sins
- Leavened vs. unleavened bread
- Fire vs. water–how do we think about Christianity?
- Giver vs. gifts
