But is it Biblical? episodes

  • Episode 66: Jubilees Part 2 - The Wisdom and Strength of Women

    Why did Genesis 6 not elaborate on the fallen angels?

    Why did Jews fight about having a solar vs lunar calendar?

    Why are the numbers we see in scripture so important?

    Why doesn’t God just MAKE us obey?

    Were Adam and Eve an allegory?

    What do the wisdom of women, the Lord’s Supper, and circumcision have to do with Genesis and Jubilees?

    And what does that mean for us today?


    This week's song is “God Girl” by Jamie Grace:

  • Episode 65: Jubilees Part 1 - Equality in the Eyes of God - The Sabbath

    What does equality look like in the eyes of God?

    What mindset do you need to have before reading books like Jubilees?

    What do we need to remember about how language is used?

    Why do modern Evangelicals believe Jubilees should not be included in our canon?

    What did the “Sabbaths” of the Bible really symbolize?

    And what does that have to do with “six-seven?”
