Genesis Marks the Spot

What did the ancient Israelite think about the origin of evil and sin?  What did the first temple Jew think about the origin of evil and sin?  What about the rabbis?  Let's check out the literature, and track this topic so that we can better understand the Reformation's understanding of Genesis 6:1-4.

A review of Heath Henning's book, The Unbiblical Realm: Refuting the Divine Council of Michael Heiser's Deuteronomy 32 Worldview.  Spoiler alert: I give this book negative stars. 

Henning can't even present Dr. Heiser's understanding of the word elohim correctly, which is one of the most basic things that one must get "right" in order to understand much of what Dr. Heiser teaches.  (Note: If you want to critique someone, you need to get what they say correct.  Otherwise, don't bother.)

How much blame does Augustine deserve for the Sethite view of Genesis 6:1-4?  A discussion on why I think the "angelic" view of Genesis 6 should be primary, and how the "human" view got solidified over time.  Spoiler alert: it's politics.

Who were the sons of God and the nephilim?  What about the giants?  The earliest views up to the human/Sethite view in historical interpretation, with a special focus on allegory and what it is and how we might look at it.  (Skipping Augustine because he needs his own episode!)

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.
