Between the Word

In this episode I read Genesis chapters 4 and 5. I discuss the actions of Cain and its implications. How do our intentions and our actions relate to one another? Is sin a promise in this life? What is the state of the fallen heart? Is there a sin that cannot be forgiven? These are just some of the questions that I wrestle with in this episode.

In this episode I read chapters 1-3 of Genesis. I talk about some overlap and some potential conflicts between the scientific theory of evolution and the creation story of the Bible. Adam and Eve eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, what does this mean for them as well as for us today? Why does sin seem appealing at first glance? Why does it rain? These are all topics that I discuss as well as introducing some thought provoking questions that I don't currently have an answer to.
