In this episode, we look at chapter 62, which is one of the only chapters where Lao Tzu compares good and bad people and the ONLY chapter where he uses a word often translated as "sin". I'll start by talking about how radically countercultural and even offensive Jesus's teachings of enemy-love are in the Middle Eastern culture I work in, then we'll take a look at three aspects of this chapter:
- The Tao (and Christ) as treasure to the good and refuge to the bad
- Do not abandon a bad person (and what even IS a bad person?)
- Hopeful universalism - a great motivation to spread the love of Christ
