About this episode
We live in an age of rampant confusion, an era where the lines are not just blurred but gleefully erased with a thick, black marker. Well, do you also avoid wearing polyester-cotton blends? This is a playground taunt, not a serious argument, but it is one that many Christians are flustered by. They know something is wrong with the comparison, but they cannot quite articulate what it is. And the reason for this is that we have, for too long, neglected the foundational grammar of God's law. We have treated the Old Testament law as a grab bag of disconnected rules instead of as a coherent, pedagogical system designed to teach us about the nature of God and the nature of holiness. They are picture-lessons, object lessons for a people being trained in the ways of holiness. God is teaching them, and us, that He is a God of order, a God of distinctions.
