ISN’T THE BIBLE MISOGYNISTIC? – PART 2 (HERMENEUTICAL FOUNDATIONS)

In this episode we continue our discussion of the so called “misogyny” of the Bible by laying a hermeneutical foundation for how we are to read the Bible in a Redemptive Historical and how Jesus is the answer in the back of the book so to speak. We explore Paul’s view that Jesus tore down social dividing lines and what this does to show the ultimate intention of God and his work of subverting Ancient Near Eastern cultural norms throughout the Old Testament.

The Oreo Session – Part 2

In this episode I continue the discussion with atheists Cory Markum and Alex Starr about a wide ranging host of topics from Jesus Mythicism, Leprechaun defecation, to Richard Dawkins. I forgot to give the warning on the last episode so I will here… the really polite southern gentleman lets some expletives slip. And honestly… I’m too lazy to edit it.

Did God Really Command Genocide? with Matthew Flannagan

In this episode we continue our series looking at the so-called “atrocities” in the Bible by exploring the question of whether or not God commanded genocide in the Old Testament when he ordered the Israelites to drive the Canaanites out of the land. I’m joined for this discussion by Dr. Matthew Flannagan​.
