Restitutio

Just came across this podcast. The episode on Origen was excellent. Can’t wait to listen to more.

I was raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and was always taught to examine and study the scriptures. I first started listening to Restitutio to get a better grasp on early church history so that I could see what the 1st Century Christians really believed. After listening to hundreds of episodes, I have learned so much about the development of “orthodox” doctrine, Bible manuscripts and translation, reading the Bible in context, Hebrew, Greek and much more. I reached a point in my life where I wanted to put my own faith to the test, outside of what JW.org says, and much of what I have learned has reaffirmed my beliefs on matters such as the Trinity, hellfire, conditional immortality, etc. I know I differ from Biblical Unitarians on some beliefs but I feel like we align on much more than we disagree on. Sean has also always been very fair with his opinions of the NWT, which I appreciate. I know JWs get a bad rap for being a cult or high control group, but I just want to say that this was never my experience. Like most religions there are some people who are more rigid than others. My parents were always very liberal. I want to thank Sean and Restitutio for giving me a first class education on how to defend my own faith. I’d also love to know why Sean has never taken part in a debate? I feel like his knowledge and communication style would be perfect for it. Thanks! -Mike M.
