S2 E25: Tom Rundel: Does God have a Gender, Karma, and more Science talk

Liminal Living

Does God have a Gender? Is Karma real? What did the Bible say about Dinosaurs? And other fun questions in this ask me anything episode where I take on your theological questions:

1. Scott: According to Christianity, the only way is through Jesus. According to another religion, the only way is through their belief system. How can we all be right? Does God give many paths that lead to him?
2. Lance: How do we know which religion is right? And if Christianity is it, how do we know which version/interpretation is right?
3. Rosey: If God created humans in his image, male and female, what does that actually mean? Is God not genderless?
4. Wendi: What’s the deal with karma and the Christian faith?
5. Nic: did the Creator create us individually or broad stroke? What level of detail went into His design?
6. Lance: How does the Bible coexist with science?
