If We Don’t Forgive Others, Will God Not Forgive Us?

Episode Chapters

1. Intro
   0:00 - 1:14
2. Did Jesus Have Genesis 3 in Mind When He Taught About Good Eyes and Bad Eyes?
   1:15 - 1:32
3. "Abigail from North Carolina As I’m listening to you talk about the eye being the lamp of the body, my mind is drawn to Genesis 3 where the woman sees that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye. Is this parallel of the eye as the lamp something that can be drawn to other circumstances like this, or do you think Jesus just meant it in regards to monetary greed?"
   1:33 - 17:44
4. Does the Bible Contradict Itself When it Comes to God Testing Us?
   17:45 - 22:13
5. "Aslan from South Carolina One of my favorite letters in the Bible is the letter of Jacob [also known as the book of James]. In James 1:14, he says, “No one is to say when he is tested, ‘I am being tested by God,’ for…he himself does not test anyone.” That word is normally translated as “tempted,” but it seems to be the same verb form as the noun Jesus uses in his prayer, about God not leading us into the test. Why does Jesus teach us to ask God not to lead us into the test, yet Jacob says that God does not test anyone?"
   22:14 - 22:51
6. "Michael from Pennsylvania Your use of the word “test,” instead of “temptation,” made me think about my job as a math teacher. I give every student a test, but I mostly know how they will do because I already know all the work they have done to that point and who they are as math students. Are these tests a way for God to show us who he already knows us to be, both the good and the bad? I think about Job and Cain being opposite examples of this."
   22:52 - 45:32
7. Is Jesus Himself the “Daily Bread” He Tells Us to Pray For?
   45:33 - 47:28
8. "Joshua from Kentucky My question is about the daily provision of bread that Jesus teaches us to pray for. You pointed out the allusion to the manna in the wilderness story. This made me think of John 6, where Jesus calls himself the “bread of life,” the true and better bread from heaven. So if we should pray each day for our daily bread, and Jesus is the true bread from heaven, is Jesus teaching us to pray each day for more of Jesus? If so, what would it look like for God to answer this prayer?"
   47:29 - 56:05
9. Does God Forgive Us Only After We Forgive Others?
   56:06 - 56:23
10. "Maja from Poland My question is about Matthew 6:15. If forgiveness is a heart posture, and if Jesus reveals the heart of the Father, then what does it mean for God not to forgive? Jesus goes around forgiving people without asking them if they forgave others––he even forgives those who crucify him. So can God ever have a different heart posture?"
