Inverted Orthodoxy 402 - Can we feel bad for bad leaders? Who gets to heaven & Blake fights a calf

Welcome to the Inverted Orthodoxy Podcast! We're Blake, Kyle, and Doug the pastors from Living Springs, here to take you on a weekly adventure through the twists and turns of faith. Got questions? We've got answers, and sometimes more questions!

This week, the pastors answered the following questions:

1. AER Should you be able to feel sorry/ relate to Mark Driscoll and not Donald Trump, or are they equally despicable and egotistical?

Should we not, as Paul indicates to the Corinthian church, judge such things/ people/ actions for the betterment of the corporate church? For the integrity of the body of Christ? Definitely, we should have a “there go I by the grace of God " attitude, but why should we excuse Driscoll by saying he was young and given too much power? Isn't that what has corrupted every crooked person from Hitter to Trump to Driscoll ( we'll stop there though there are a few more contemporaries to mention). You don't have to bring this into the podcast; but I did need to ask you why you would see him as a cautionary tale instead of yet just another bad seed?

Thanks for letting me sound off.

2. Okay. This question has to do with the idea of eternal life after death, and being a devout Christian. 

eternal life seems to be a lot of people’s “why” when it comes to being a follower of Jesus Christ,

That if they follow Jesus they will be with him and God after death, in Heaven, at peace. That Is what I gather from listening to many speakers in my church.

So my question is: say you have a person who does not worship God or Jesus Christ, but they are trying to live with an open heart, doing their best to improve and striving to do good each day, and you have someone who goes to church each week and studies scriptures and also strives to live with an open heart each day.

Do both of these individuals get eternal life? Can people be followers of Jesus Christ without knowing it?even if they do not worship him or think about him?

I feel like I just created many more questions!

3. What is the biggest animal you think you could beat in a fight?
