In this episode we compare the mystical Jesus of John Mark Comer’s book to the true Jesus that Paul taught in Acts and First Corinthians. Paul used logical categories that could be understood using our rational minds, not awareness of presence as Comer claims. Paul told Fetus he spoke “words of sober truth” in Acts 16:25; Comer teaches using confused, deceptive categories that must be rejected.
