Genesis Marks the Spot

Who were the sons of God and the nephilim?  What about the giants?  What is the earliest interpretation of Genesis 6:1-4?  When do we get the human/Sethite view?  Historical interpretation and its development up to the first couple of centuries A.D.

Continuing the conversation about singleness--this time with Mike Chu.  What does the message of singleness as eschatological tell us about marriage and childlessness and how to value and interact within our relationships?  A fantastic conversation that opens the doors to listening to one another and seeing how we reflect Jesus in our midst.

A comparison of LDS theology with biblical theology, especially focused on the divine council worldview.  A recounting of the LDS story of creation and salvation (otherwise known as "exaltation") and looking at how these display the differences between Christianity and "Mormonism."

Jesus says that angels in heaven don't marry, so how could the sons of God in Genesis 6 be spirit beings?  How many generations does it take for "Nephilim DNA" to be diluted?  How do we get Nephilim after the flood?  Modern DNA vs. ancient bloodlines--what's the difference?  And what does Calvinball have to do with any of that?

Is singleness what we all have to look forward to in the eschaton?  Reviewing Danielle Treweek's book, The Meaning of Singleness: Retrieving an Eschatological Vision for the Contemporary Church.  The church has traditionally seen singleness to be THE "eschatological" view, but more recent history has flipped this on its head and now marriage is often elevated in ways that are potentially problematic.  Perhaps there's a third way of seeing the eschaton's imagery rather than a battle between singleness OR marriage.

Answering the question begun in episode 92 about homosexuality and the kingdom of God.  While there are differences in sexuality between the ancient world and today, let's encourage the development of a biblical imagination and the continual turning to Christ, our King.

Marriage according the Bible:  Continuity between the Old Testament to the New Testament to the church to today.  Are we actually "thinking biblically"?  Do our ideas about sex and marriage reflect what the Bible says?  Inheritance, virginity, the divine council worldview, and the idea that Jesus expanded the Torah.

Marriage according to the Bible.  Beginning a survey of passages about marriage and defining marriage in the ancient Near East: what is a concubine and how did marriage "happen"?  What's inheritance got to do with it?  Why are polygamy and other "unsavory" practices in the Torah?

Continuing the conversation about sexuality with a detour into the topic of physical embodiment as seen from Jesus, the gospel, sacrament, and community.  Do you see creation as cursed?  Are the sacraments "just" symbolic?  Two connected questions that with the message of the gospel can help us address our discomforts with our bodies.
