Life, Death, and the Afterdeath 30:05

14d ago30:05

30:05

As we've been walking through Genesis 1-3, a few "plot holes" have emerged. What is life? What does it mean to be "alive" or a "living being" (nefesh)? What then is death? Did Adam and Eve actually die the day they ate of the Tree of Knowing? And what happens after death? What is Sheol? Abaddon? Abraham's Bosom? What is the Old Testament idea of wh…

What happens after the humans eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowing? Who is to blame for eating the fruit? Are they cursed by God?

33:17

Humanity is firmly planted in the Garden, but why is there a serpent there? Is this a divine setup? Who or what is this serpent figure, anyway? Why would God put a tree there that they couldn't eat from? And what is the deal with the Tree of Life? Is humanity created to be mortal, immortal, or something else?

The Canons of Dort 28:16

Have you ever heard of the Canons of Dort? In case you are wondering, they are not cannons fired by a commander named Dort.

The Image of God 30:25

3M ago30:25

30:25

How should we think about the fact that there are two creation accounts? What does it mean to be the image of God? Are humans to be servants of Adonai, or something else? Are men and women images in the same way? And what do we do with the fact that women are created second, and "from man"? Does the Bible teach that bodies are bad, and naked bodies…

The Goodness of Creation 27:19

What does it mean to say that God created everything? What about all those other creation myths that look a lot like Genesis 1? What do each of the "days" of creation mean? What does it mean to be human, and what does it mean to "rule and subdue" creation? Besides, why does it all matter -- isn't this world just doomed to destruction, and isn't eve…

The Medieval Church and the Protestant Reformation 28:18

Why would a Christian pray to a dog? And why would a pope be taken out of his grave and brought to trial? In previous episodes about the Middle Ages, we discovered inspiring people who loved the Lord and the gospel, and we learned that it was a time of missions and important studies. So we don’t want to say, “The Middle Ages were all bad and the Re…

Does the rain not fall equally upon all people? Does the sun not shine for all, and do we not all breathe the air in equal measure?
