Episode 28 – Show Notes

We start by trying to track Christian responses to the virus from before it was known about at all. Were there any prophecies? We include the reasons given which fell to the two extremes of The Devil and God in Punishment mode. Here are Andrew’s links:

We then started to see prophecies of when it would end, which turned out to be flat out wrong.
We liked this one, Kenneth Copeland from March 13th.

The Psalm on protection from pandemics that we read out was Psalm 91 v1-8

This leads to the conflict between belief and good citizenship to save lives.

We then moved onto the more serious apologetic responses to the pandemic, here is Justin Brierrley’s blog:

Key text we read and discussed:

“The Christian story is that the whole created order is in some sense ‘out of kilter’ at a cosmic level. Some theologians trace this to human rebellion – an outworking of ‘the fall’ which acts both forwards and backwards in time. Others point to the existence of an earlier rebellion in the angelic realm that sparked a ‘cosmic fall’ (hinted at in Revelation 12:9).”

And here is John Lennox’s: text blog
