Can We Be Agents of Chaos With Good Intentions?

Episode Chapters

1. Intro
   0:00 - 1:54
2. Did God Create Disorder?
   1:55 - 1:56
3. Tyler from Michigan: This series led me to meditate on the role that deception plays in sin. I’m wondering what implications stem from humans being deceived into sin by the snake rather than choosing it independently. In Luke 23, Jesus seems to touch on this when he asks forgiveness for his killers, while stating that they don’t know what they are doing. How should the centrality of deception as a part of sin inform our view of both justice and how to live as Christians?
   1:57 - 7:35
4. Are the Scales in Paul’s Eyes a Reference to the Dragon?
   7:36 - 7:39
5. Rebecca from Iowa: As I have listened to the podcasts about the chaos dragon, my mind can't help but go to the New Testament when Jesus calms the storm, or when he invites Peter to walk on the water, or when the scales fall from Paul's eyes. Wouldn't you say those stories are connected to the chaos dragon?
   7:40 - 14:21
6. Are the Dragon Rahab and Rakhab in Jeremiah Connected?
   14:22 - 14:31
7. Zeb from Tasmania: You briefly mentioned the word rahab in an earlier episode and linked the name/title to the “sea monster” image. This takes my mind to the book of Joshua and Rahab who lived in Jericho. Jericho means “fragrant.” Is there some sort of inverted link between Rahab's name and character portrayed against the city of Jericho and its name and character in the story? Rahab seems to be the only thing of “fragrance” in Jericho, and the city itself is more like the chaotic sea dragon. Am I reading this right? What are your thoughts?
   14:32 - 21:21
8. Was the Chaos Dragon Created To Be Evil?
   21:22 - 21:27
9. Wayne from Georgia: Is the chaos dragon evil because of what it is, or is it evil because of what it does?
   21:28 - 26:54
10. Can We Become Agents of Chaos Even With Good Intentions?
    26:55 - 26:59
11. Ulrike from England: You've said that humans can become agents of chaos, and that's easy to see with people we might consider evil, such as Nebuchadnezzar or Hitler. However, most people don't set out to cause chaos. So often we become agents of chaos inadvertently or without intending to. I'd love your thoughts on that.
    27:00 - 32:02
12. What Does It Mean That Satan “Entered” Judas?
    32:03 - 32:06
13. Tom from England: In John 13, we read of Satan himself entering Judas at the last supper before he goes out into the night to cause Jesus' arrest. This seems very connected to the theme of people becoming snakes and being participants of chaos. I wonder if this is the most ultimate/climatic way in which this can happen, and what it therefore really might mean for Satan to have entered him.
