EPISODE 9 (Guest: Christine G) - Today we pick up after the end of the second day, which found God or Elohim lost at sea in the midst of a raging storm. After rescuing himself from drowning by finding light and therefore breath above the surface of the water, Elohim began to define his universe by separating that which is above from that which is below, and recognizing the sky or Heaven as the source of breath and therefore life.

EPISODE 8 (Guest: Christine G) - In the Book of Genesis, Moses makes the outrageous claim that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. OK, I'll bite. IF there is such a thing as God, and IF God did in fact create Heaven and Earth, why in the world would anyone claim that it took only six days to do? And why on earth would he take the additional step of DATING the creation to 4000 B.C.? Why would anyone paint himself into a corner like that? Aren't you just a little bit #BibleCurious?

EPISODE 7 - In this third and final passage from the Sermon on the Mount which represents the conclusion of this initiatory discourse, Jesus introduces some of the sacred mysteries, using parables, riddles and "dark sayings" containing multilayered meanings to put his disciples on the correct path toward enlightenment.

EPISODE 6 - In this next segment of the Sermon on the Mount, taken from the Gospel According to Matthew, Jesus gives commandments for worship. By following these simple instructions, anyone can establish and maintain a working relationship with the Father. As you listen to the following passage, notice the utter simplicity of Jesus' doctrine.

EPISODE 5 - Today I want to begin discussion of the Sermon on the Mount, from the Gospel According to Matthew. This sermon is the central thesis of Jesus' teaching, and it was reading this sermon over twenty years ago which marked the beginning of my relationship with this great teacher.

EPISODE 4 (Guest: Tom F) - This is the third and final segment of my conversation with Tom F. We talk about the Bible from a personal angle, using it as a roadmap for personal redemption. If I'm not a Christian, are these teachings for me? We talk about belief and unbelief; damnation and salvation; sin and human nature; sexual taboo; mystery; and, how do we bring the teachings of the Bible up to date with modern times?

EPISODE 3 (Guest: Tom F) - This is the second part of my conversation with Tom F. In this segment we talk theology. We discuss the six days of creation, what is God's agenda regarding humanity, Heaven and Earth, Judgement, Hell and the afterlife.

EPISODE 2 (Guest: Tom F)- This is part one of an interview with my friend Tom F, who wanted to have a conversation with me about why I decided to take on this project. In this segment, we cover a number of topics, including my own motivations for doing this project, how can a person with a rational, scientific mindset take the Bible seriously, where did these stories come from, and who is God? So without any further preamble, let's dive right in.

EPISODE 1 - Let's start with Exodus Chapter 20, known popularly as The Ten Commandments. This part of the story takes place about 1,500 BC. God's chosen people, the Israelites, found themselves camped in the Sinai Desert after being liberated from four generations of slavery to the Egyptian pharoahs. Once liberated, this tribal people proved to be rebellious, contentious and generally misbehaved. Moses found himself spending most of his time settling disputes between rival families. And so Yahweh calls everyone before Mount Sinai to "lay down the Law" (the Torah) in specific terms.
