Genesis Marks the Spot

Part two of the conversation from episode 70, we discuss the theodicies that Job's friends provide, the idea of Job as a member of the divine council, the structure of the book of Job, and a caution about structuring Scripture without a full knowledge of the language originally used. Also, some information about what I'm up to beyond this podcast and some thoughts on how you can support me, and why.  A big thank you to those of you who do!!  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot  This week's episode of Pilgrims in a Holy Land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydBkKII_nR0&ab_channel=FaithUnaltered  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

If Job is a second Adam, then the satan in Job must be the serpent from the Garden, right?  In our previous conversation about Job as a second Adam, we didn't get into nearly enough talk about the satan reflecting or being the serpent from the garden, after all.  Is it an I-told-you-so moment??  Exploring that further in this episode, we come to some surprising reflections on Leviathan and chaos in general.  **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

Comparing translations of passages that touch on the Divine Council Worldview.  Why do some Bible translations have "sons of God" in Deut. 32:8 and others have "sons of Israel"?  Can humans be elohim?  What's with the "so-called gods" in 1 Cor. 8:5?  **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

We hear it, and it's true: we are made to be kings on the earth, and then we lost our dominion, exiled from our true home.  But there is hope in our Messianic King who sets all to right!  But being reconciled to our true home is not all there is to the concept of exile.  Reviewing biblical theology books on exile, talking about the Deuteronomistic history, and discussing the formation of the nation of Israel helps us see exile in the scope of both narrative and history.  Are you being transformed in exile?  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  Bibliography: https://www.genesismarksthespot.com/blog/exile-an-annotated-bibliography/  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

What is "the sin offering"?  What does it do?  Why don't we see it in Genesis?  What does it mean for the work of Jesus?  Spencer Owen joins me for a discussion about this oft-misunderstood offering. **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

Bible translations: why do we have so many of them and how do we vet them for our use?  One of the newest translations out there is the LSB, the Legacy Standard Bible.  Both John MacArthur and Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis (and the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum) say that the LSB is the "best" translation currently available.  How does this translation actually stack up to other versions out there?  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  The Journey from Texts to Translations: https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Texts-Translations-Origin-Development/dp/0801027993/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36J1AB1Z2ZCMD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ftvyY9bZifzzqg9Q2H5clR57CDD2SBRtm2ehopDl1WYqd66C3i_hvJJPaK6tpQUuND7JZXc1nCeehYBDRWrQNjJKFkvDdcIFq4BOKw7DOSXZybw9p31c3Kn44vDOWERF-rbWdS2ied-cx7ZbZ-YkOT644HjlAkWxANVrlGgCIV8RtItApGg_JVB8FkCfFltzcE29h9nEwa3wE6IAmZ6XQ1NuYwK2lOfO9J_yxg64-pE.TqkAQSUEWd8Ks6I01cCo2sNMr3NY7GkSzqpRj6WtkNQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=journey+from+texts+to+translations&qid=1708540540&sprefix=journey+from+texts+to+translation%2Caps%2C407&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

The main theme and story of the Hebrew Bible, seen in the order of the Tanakh, gives us an even clearer picture than do individual prophecies of who the Messiah is and of his mission.  This isn't to discount Messianic prophecy, but themes, patterns, and narrative arcs all point to Jesus, and guess what?  It all begins in Genesis and flows through the whole Hebrew Bible.  **Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot  My breakdown of biblical theology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VVYetHb268&ab_channel=FaithUnaltered Dominion and Dynasty by Stephen Dempster: https://www.amazon.com/Dominion-Dynasty-Theology-Studies-Biblical/dp/0830826157/ref=sr_1_1?crid=PWF1P9TUYXBJ&keywords=dominion+and+dynasty+by+stephen+dempster&qid=1707327662&sprefix=dominion+and+dynasty%2Caps%2C359&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
