Inverted Orthodoxy #360- God and Time, Chosen people, God of the dead or living, and dreams

Inverted Orthodoxy

In this weeks episode, Pastors Kyle, Blake, and Doug discuss the following:

4:16 into the episode. Is God outside of time (able to be move and act in the past and future as well) or is he inside of time, but happens to know our whole past and our future and Moves acts in the present to impact our future? One implication might be, can I pray for a past event (like, remembering on Wednesday to pray for a friend that was nervous about his surgery on Monday for example)?

23:03 into the episode Why did God choose a ‘chosen ‘ people group (ie. The Jews) ?

31:23 into episode . I don’t really understand when, in Matthew 12:27, Jesus says about God “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” The brothers in the story supposedly go to heaven. Is God no longer their God? What is Jesus saying?

36:09 into episode How much weight or meaning should we ascribe to our dreams? Can we interpret them, and discern which dreams should actually be interpreted?
