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!

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/
