Great question!! I’ll pass along.

@Kim @WMc @Lanigame As Shawn mentioned in the call in hour, we are so thankful for your responses here. It has been really cool getting Yeshuans going, and being in company with some real-freaking-deal people here. Thank you all for the comments and participation.

@Haydos Of course you as well. I imagine that it’s really difficult, especially…

We actually just discussed this question to some degree on the call in yesterday! There are some very serious associations people make between hell and living as a believer, and it takes so so long to detangle – especially if you are really focused on it.

First off – to me, it is really important that this perspective is NOT a “disbelief” in…

This is an awesome question and in preparing for next year (where I myself am about to have a baby), I think it’s essential that we make materials that discuss this. Along with things like being a man or a woman, being a spouse, etc.

we will discuss this both in the call in show but I’ll also get some answers from Shawn and put here! Will also…

Shawn on the call in hour said a few things. It depends on their level of biblical knowledge. If they’re coming from a lot of eschatological understanding, then it’s one thing. But if they are not, then perhaps just reading fresh and not putting fulfillment at the forefront – perhaps it’ll just show itself as discussion goes on!

also taking the…

Shawn’s answer in the call in hour essentially stated that it was always that they had access to God, AND God had access to them. Once they fell and were kicked out of the garden, God could still access them, but there wasn’t the opportunity for the reverse.

does this agree with how you see it?

We discussed this in the call in this week! all these questions are awesome.

simply put, Shawn identified that the other gods existed, but that there is only one “creator” God. Which is the ultimate differentiator…

thoughts?

I think he does think something close to this! His thoughts have expanded a lot on what could happen in the afterlife, always preceded by “this is his own opinion/conjecture”…

I do think he thinks that where we go (as a result of our own choice) has some sort of proximal relationship – like the darker it is, the closer it is to God, in a way.…

I mention the changing, because it suggests that God is working with us culturally to understand the Truth of Him today. That understanding of Him is undoubtedly affected by what came before us – it would be very proud to say we are not affected by religion before us.

But it is also affected by many other things in this world and in history.…

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately actually. Lots of stuff online that draws on this dichotomy.

I too think Yeshuans is in a different lane, but the distinction is that it is built on the shoulders of it all. Something that I find makes this approach distinct is that God works with us in time. He changes over time in how he works with…
