Jesus arrived two millennia ago and completely negated this view of God. Jesus came to show that God is represented by the Tree of Life not the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Jesus understanding of God is radically different than that revealed by the Old Testament Writers. No wonder the disciples asked Him to show them the Father. Fortunate for us, He shares with us the God that He knew and revealed Him through His life and teachings. The PDF document is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

We take a look at the two trees in the Garden of Eden and discover how they symbolically represent two views of God. One view is held by the Old Testament writers and the other by Jesus who has seen God and knows God's heart. Many Old Testament writers and characters portray God as the source of both Good and Evil.

The Resurrection of Easter does change everything. This is the most monumental event of history. It transforms the meaning of the cross from defeat to deliverance, we now know that we matter to God, it brings the presence of God into our daily lives and it guarantees our future. We are forever indebted to God for the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus. Friday is here but thank God Sunday is Coming! The pdf is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

We conclude this close look at that passages that talk about Jesus death and discover that what we have been led to believe is just not supported by scripture. Jesus did not need to die to change God's mind about us and enable him to forgive us. He died because we killed Him in His endeavour to get us to change our mind about God.

So who actually killed Jesus. Many would say that He was killed to satisfy God's demand for justice. That God need the death of His Son to enable Him to forgive mankind. As a result we have been taught that in essence God killed Jesus. However, what is the Biblical evidence? We will continue in this series and look at the Epistles and see what they say as to why Jesus died. We take a close look at what it means to come and give his life as a ransom. To whom is that ransom paid. Come and join us on this engaging dialogue. The PDF document is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

In this episode of Rediscovering God we take a close look at Isaiah 53 which many use to support the idea that God needed the death of His son to enable Him to forgive sinners. However a close look at this chapter reveals a much different outcome and attributes the killing of Jesus to the people that placed Him on the cross.

In this episode of Rediscovering God we look carefully at the experience of Jesus and the statements of the other New Testament writers to determine if any of them implicate God in the death of Jesus on the cross. Their testimony is consistent that Jesus was killed at the hands of the leading teachers, scribes and religious leaders who enlisted the help of the Romans. The notion that He died because of God's doing does not exist. The PDF of this material can be found at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

In this episode we conclude the series on the genocide of God. We are fortunate to have the witness of Jesus about God to enable us to take a closer look at these troubling stories that depict God in a way that is far from the way Jesus portrayed Him. The PDF document is available at www.rediscoveringgod.ca

We continue to endeavour to understand these troubling stories in the Old Testament. The genocide of Israel against the nations of Canaan are described as something that God commands then to do. However, as we have come to understand the God that Jesus knew we realize that such a terrible event should never be ascribed to God and must be attributed to the enemy and their that comes to steal, kill and destroy.
