Summary

During today’s conversation on Back Porch Theology – the fourth in our “Wild About Jesus” series – we’re going to talk about how Apostle Paul compared the Christ to the dude who started that whole fig-leaves-for-pants trend when he referred to our Savior as the “Second Adam.” Which sounds like he was casting Jesus as a sort of new and improved “version” of mankind, doesn’t it? Like adding Christological chorizo to queso or something to make it better. But that’s not Paul’s point at all, y’all. Instead, his systematic compare-and-contrast language leads to the theological truism that Jesus was God’s original gameplan to redeem humanity all along. We’re going to be pounding nails to shore up some awesome doctrinal scaffolding today y’all, so please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible – unless you’re driving or trying not to fall over while peeling off a pair of Spanx in the narrow stall of a public restroom, of course – and come hang out on the porch with us.

doesn't it? Kind of like adding Christological Treeso to Keso or something to make it better,

leads to the theological truism that Jesus was God's original game plan to redeem humanity all along.

so please grab a cup of coffee in your Bible unless you're driving or trying not to fall over while

moment. My name is Allison Allen, and I am a five foot 12 spiritual wing woman to Lisa Harper for

1:28.1

back porch theology, and we have been living with the theme of wild about Jesus, right? Yeah,

1:35.5

we just said of when Allen and I were praying, it was between Christmas and New Year's,

where do we go? Where do we go? You know, we love to talk about theology, and for those of y'all

1:56.0

who are just now joining us, even that word sometimes carries so much consternation because people

2:02.8

think who theology it must be a bunch of old guys with dark socks talking in elite terms and

2:09.6

dusty offices, but but the word theology actually comes from two Greek words, Teos, and logos,

Teos refers to God, and logos simply refers to conversations or words. So theology is not some

2:26.9

austere abstract habit for just really smart people. Theology is conversations about God,
