Moses as Mediator
God calling Israelites "Moses' people" distances Himself from their sin.
Moses' intercession mirrors Christ's, mediating between God and humanity.
insights INSIGHT
Soul's Immortality
The Seventh-Day Adventist view rejects the immortal soul, linking it to paganism.
Winger argues this is a scare tactic and doesn't logically follow.

Pagan Practices

The Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, narrates the creation of the universe, the Earth, and humankind. It details the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah's Ark, and the Tower of Babel, establishing foundational narratives for Judaism and Christianity. Key themes include creation, sin, divine judgment, covenant, and the chosen people. The book's influence on Western culture and religious thought is profound and enduring. It provides a framework for understanding humanity's relationship with God and the origins of civilization. The book's complex narratives continue to inspire theological debate and literary interpretation.
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
1. 0:07 {Genesis: Different Views} What are the different interpretations that different Christians have about the book of Genesis and the creation accounts? 2. 26:27 {Israel – God’s People or Moses’ People?} What’s the significance of God calling the Israelites Moses’ people in the golden calf story, and then Moses calling them God’s people? I can’t help but think it sounds like two parents of the same child saying “That’s your kid” as the child misbehaves (Exodus 32:1-14, specifically verses 7 and 11). 3. 30:25 {Are our Souls Immortal?} Seventh-day Adventism claims that belief in an immortal soul comes from Paganism and leads to occult spiritualism (like necromancy and belief in ghosts). Is this biblical? 4. 35:00 {Christians and Yoga} A family member does yoga for stretching, but in that quiet time they meditate, pray, and worship God. I know yoga for stretching is fine, but is worshiping while doing yoga an issue because of Deuteronomy 12:30-31? 5. 42:23 {Can Angels be Saved?} Does Colossians 1:19, 20 suggest that Christ’s sacrificial death can be applied to fallen angels, as well? 6. 47:04 {Can we Feel the Spirit Move?} Is “feeling the Spirit moving” biblical? 7. 52:40 {Guilty of Unintentional Sins?} Are we guilty of sins we do not know we have committed (Leviticus 4: 27, 5: 17)? 8. 57:53 {Prayer: How Long & How Many Times?} How long should our prayers be? I see many people online who need prayers, and I want to pray each night for everyone. It feels tedious & repetitive, but it feels wrong to pray for them only once. Thoughts? 9. 1:01:45 {Salvation by Works in Revelation?} Is Revelation 14:12 talking about salvation by works? 10. 1:05:06 {From Intellect to Salvation} Is there a way for me to go from an intellectual belief in God to a relationship with God, or do I have to wait on Him for that?

I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. You're welcome to join. To ask a question in a future session, you'll need to follow these instructions:
1. Don't post your question before you see me live on camera. 2. Post questions as comments in the LIVE chat at the beginning of the stream. 3. Post your question with "Q" at the beginning so we can easily identify that you are sending it in as a question for me and not just a comment in the chat. 4. Try to be as clear as possible so I won't misunderstand the question. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about your question other than what you type in that short comment. 5. Include specific verse references when possible or applicable.
