About this listen

 This is a podcast where we study the Bible and other topics through a Biblical lens. While we may not see everything clearly on this side of eternity, I think it is vital to study the Bible with context and thoroughness together to learn and see as clearly as possible. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. - 1 Corinthians 13:12Daniel Shafer Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality

Learn how hardening strengthens paths already chosen, as seen in Pharaoh, Sihon, and even Israel. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 2, Isaiah 63, and Acts 4, we see it's a consequence of rejecting truth, not arbitrary.#Romans9Explained #BiblicalTheology #ChristianApologetics #GodsSovereignty #Romans9
