Inside this segment

A closer look.

Episode 30. Segment 1 of 5. Did God create humanity already sinful, or does sin begin with the misuse of freedom? Henry and Sam examine human origins, Genesis, and the question of why a loving God allows us to choose.

Sam presents a personal theory involving the Watchers and Nag Hammadi writings. Henry tests that proposal against Scripture and the divinity of Christ, then explains humanity's original goodness, the fall, and why authentic love requires free will.
