The Textual Unity of the Bible - Episode 061
The Bible is a book made up of many books. Each individual book of the Bible has its own context and meaning and purpose, but the Bible also has a unified story and meaning. We can't simply tear the text into pieces because that ruins the whole picture. And the way that the books are ordered in the canon affects the way that we read the Bible as a whole. The Tanakh, the Jewish ordering of the Hebrew Bible, tells a slightly different story than the Protestant ordering of these books. Seeing the narrative flow of Scripture can help us understand both the Bible as well as the Messiah, so comparing and contrasting the Tanakh and the Old Testament might give us some new insight here!

Jesus and the Cosmic Powers - Episode 059
The gospel is more than "the Romans Road." It is not a mere story about forgiveness of sin. It is a battle of cosmic proportions. Part of this begins to dismantle the common depiction of atonement as an appeasement of God's wrath, but fear not, this doesn't lead to a state where we are capable of saving ourselves. Far from it, in fact! **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/ Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/ Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan

The Reality of the gods, an Argument - Episode 058
Does the Bible actually affirm the existence of other gods? Here is a defense for the argument that it does, and why it matters that we believe that.

Ancestor Epics (Structure of Genesis) - Episode 056
The "toledoth" structure of Genesis is useful, but feels random because we aren't using the toledoths like we should. Genesis reflects the struture of other ancient Near East ancestor epics like Atrahasis. Come have a listen to see what it's all about! Coming soon, I will have links to charts for you to use in your own study!

The Dark Side of the Cosmos - Episode 055
What do the deep and outer darkness have to do with each other? A survey of the dark side of the cosmos, from the deep to Sheol, to Hades and Gehenna--how does Scripture talk about these places and how related are they? Also, a discussion on the nature of hell--is eternal conscious torment a biblical idea?

It's Not the Years, Honey... - Episode 052
The ancient world did not use numbers in the way that we use them today. Learning about this can help us see Genesis 1 as historical account while acknowledging that creation may not have happened just as described. Michael LeFebvre's book, The Liturgy of Creation, explains how the Torah's dating system is not based on precise chronology, but rather is based on the festival calendar of Israel--and this actually gives us more evidence of Genesis as historical account! **New website is here!!! www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/
