The February 27th Call In Hour

Wrestling With Faith: Questions on Christ’s Humanity, Free Will, and the Nature of Yeshua

This week’s call-in hour was full of questions that pushed us to wrestle with foundational aspects of our faith. From understanding Yeshua’s divinity and humanity to dissecting how Adam and Eve’s choices differ from Christ’s perfect obedience, we dug into scripture, philosophy, and the mysteries of God’s plan.

A key theme that emerged was the nature of Yeshua’s free will—was he truly one of us, capable of failure, or was his divine nature a safeguard against sin? The discussion led to a powerful realization: while he had the fullness of God in him, he still had to learn obedience through suffering. His choices mattered, and through them, he paved the way for humanity’s reconciliation with God.

Another compelling topic was the comparison between Adam and Christ. If Adam and Eve had God’s breath within them, why did they fail where Yeshua succeeded? Was it a question of love—Adam and Eve choosing their own desires over God’s will, while Christ perfectly submitted to the Father? This tension between human weakness and divine empowerment is something we all struggle with, and our conversation highlighted how faith is an ongoing pursuit of truth rather than a static set of beliefs.

We also examined the reliability of scripture, including questions about added text in Matthew 28 and the difference between how Jesus told his disciples to baptize versus how they actually did it in Acts. These questions challenge us to read scripture critically and thoughtfully rather than accept interpretations at face value.

Finally, we saw a beautiful reminder that faith isn’t just about intellectual exploration—it’s about a living relationship with God. Kathy’s heartfelt call reminded us that love, faith, and trust in Christ are what truly define a believer. Theology matters, but at the end of the day, our hope is in the one who made us, saved us, and leads us in grace.

If you missed this week’s discussion, join us next time for another hour of open dialogue, challenging questions, and deep reflection. Your questions sharpen all of us, and we love exploring the truth together.
