Genesis Marks the Spot

Marriage according the Bible:  Continuity between the Old Testament to the New Testament to the church to today.  Are we actually "thinking biblically"?  Do our ideas about sex and marriage reflect what the Bible says?  Inheritance, virginity, the divine council worldview, and the idea that Jesus expanded the Torah. **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/   Jason Staples and Matt. 5:27-28:  https://www.jasonstaples.com/bible/most-misinterpreted-bible-passages-1-matthew-527-28/  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

Marriage according to the Bible.  Beginning a survey of passages about marriage and defining marriage in the ancient Near East: what is a concubine and how did marriage "happen"?  What's inheritance got to do with it?  Why are polygamy and other "unsavory" practices in the Torah?     **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/  Marriage as Covenant:  https://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Covenant-Biblical-Developed-Malachi/dp/1620324563/ref=sr_1_1?crid=326QZJ7E4KXN1&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2VI_JoGMAM15Uncw5k4sJS-hmOkmatHID5o8OZxfpNg.vERNi8IIY233ESckoVK-wgA63eQTbcLLIFifw_vzPhM&dib_tag=se&keywords=marriage+as+covenant+hugenberger&qid=1727381819&sprefix=marriage+as+covenant+hugenberge%2Caps%2C277&sr=8-1 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

Continuing the conversation about sexuality with a detour into the topic of physical embodiment as seen from Jesus, the gospel, sacrament, and community.  Do you see creation as cursed?  Are the sacraments "just" symbolic?  Two connected questions that with the message of the gospel can help us address our discomforts with our bodies.  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com  My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  The Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale: https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Gender-Christian-Theory-ebook/dp/B0B788FF4P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ZGFZ2I8ZMQCK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j1LrLhnaMWMJu3WjdTEGlB3UVYx9h4HoH58TsSXYfQTkHO9FN87x7HTCwtdkxODFnjylTt4LAmPTk8NiRdU26W8RwfPwgoFua5pOsLJUh8aOfYlcnAWvbA3a2ggvmi7FNxgBrEtMFguSn2RiODZQAAr0BczXD7oUTF3BSkkH-vQM9Y-C2dcUGWr5UuXnBL-6b1Qv7IsXYDKQMR2dvvCSi43y3LQWFqJlPd181RQ02yY.mUGQ-bHZL2moVXEI-3j5Iq6zX0zW3DUr2kpCMf0Y6MA&dib_tag=se&keywords=genesis+of+gender&qid=1726187422&sprefix=genesis+of+gende%2Caps%2C413&sr=8-1  Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self:  https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Triumph-Modern-Self-Individualism-ebook/dp/B089DNYCDY/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3JEO4LXC43NL8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.n7ClJSV_Ak5yIAAOfQjcZbTbWGEAai2Zs3V-T1OjaMQkNAAKwHG4O8z7t-S0sT6UWnN24LEVuXwVgsfDhDGeFqXgvpo88nhNf3hsx6kg0TR7yeh5z4A0qbDZOovf2T2_zRTOad6N7jh2NIPXK03M69bVL9owaZDmcTjbPCOL--C0DqD9YEHaZo_8ZPhBhhpJ.TvWT7w7_mCC4bJS0fSd2PsohBqEQ9OHOSXRdRC_WQq8&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+rise+and+triumph+of+the+modern+self&qid=1726803170&sprefix=rise+and+triump%2Caps%2C248&sr=8-1  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

How do we understand gender identity from a biblical perspective?  Focusing on the topic of gender and how it came to be today, I discuss the book the Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale.  She explains the "gender paradigm" and encourages us to see a "Genesis paradigm" in relation to how we see ourselves and our bodies.  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com  My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  The Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale: https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Gender-Christian-Theory-ebook/dp/B0B788FF4P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ZGFZ2I8ZMQCK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.j1LrLhnaMWMJu3WjdTEGlB3UVYx9h4HoH58TsSXYfQTkHO9FN87x7HTCwtdkxODFnjylTt4LAmPTk8NiRdU26W8RwfPwgoFua5pOsLJUh8aOfYlcnAWvbA3a2ggvmi7FNxgBrEtMFguSn2RiODZQAAr0BczXD7oUTF3BSkkH-vQM9Y-C2dcUGWr5UuXnBL-6b1Qv7IsXYDKQMR2dvvCSi43y3LQWFqJlPd181RQ02yY.mUGQ-bHZL2moVXEI-3j5Iq6zX0zW3DUr2kpCMf0Y6MA&dib_tag=se&keywords=genesis+of+gender&qid=1726187422&sprefix=genesis+of+gende%2Caps%2C413&sr=8-1  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

Seeing the cosmos as an interconnected whole does not come naturally to us today.  This is a source of many of our struggles with understanding the divine council worldview, the image of God, and the deep meaning of ritual.  A discussion on science, its nature and uses, and kicking some ideas around to stir up our minds to get that ancient context in our heads as we read Scripture.  The raqia, thresholds, boundaries, and carrying our biblical imaginations from today into yesterday.  **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 giant questions: what is the seed of the serpent, who are the Nephilim, and how is it that the flood didn't wipe them out?  Intersecting with the concepts of the divine council worldview and the identity of the sons of God (are they different from Genesis 6 to Genesis 11/Deuteronomy 32, and were they always rebellious?), and how all this fits in with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the body of Christ!  Come listen to some answers in Genesis from TJ Steadman.  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot   Answers to Giant Questions: https://giantanswers.com/index.html 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
