EP314 Paul’s Most Scandalous Argument Against Torah Observance (Galatians 4:17-31)

📖 About This Episode: In Galatians 4:17–31, Paul makes one of the most shocking and controversial arguments in all his letters: he associates Mount Sinai and the present Jerusalem with Hagar—the slave woman—and declares that Christians are children of the free woman. Why does Paul use Sarah and Hagar as an allegory? Is he rejecting the Old Testament? How can he connect Torah observance with slavery—and what does he mean by “the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother”? In this livestream, we examine Paul’s argument in its biblical, historical, and theological context. We’ll explore the conflict between flesh and promise, slavery and freedom, the earthly Jerusalem and the heavenly Jerusalem—and why Paul insists that Gentile believers must not submit to the Torah in order to belong to the family of God. 📖 Passage: Galatians 4:17–31 Join us as we study Galatians verse by verse and seek to understand Paul’s scandalous defense of the freedom believers possess in Christ.
