Scott's Commentary

After reading my blog on "What Works the Waters?" Sherman and I talk about the content and exchange thoughts.

Fredrick Adams and I talk about the Greater and Lesser lights and what they represent in the cosmos.

The waters below and above correspond to several things in nature. Find out what they mean in this episode. 

Fred and I talk about the many applications that the waters above and below can mean as we review a few verses in Genesis one.

Sherman compares God's response to Saul's sin to David's sin.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the honor of kings to search it out." Proverbs 25:2. We don't have too many kings these days, but by kings could Solomon be referring to capable and knowledgeable people with understanding? After all, the writer of this proverb was a scientist. Has God concealed some things in scripture that we can search out with our advanced access to knowledge today? We'll never find out if we don't learn about nature and study the text.

While reading Galatians 5:22,23 Sherman discovered biblical anarchy with the words "against such there is no law" Find out what he means in this podcast.

The book of Job, the story of Job, the philosophy of Job has strengthened my spirit, nourished my soul, and stimulated my mind. Within this book, an inquisitive mind can find satisfaction, a struggling soul can find solace, and a confused heart can find company. Some day, somehow, you may have a moment, a day, a week, or even a year or more where you may be reminded of Job. You may even sympathise with Job’s plight on some scale however microscopic. When that day comes in your life or anothers, I hope you will come back or refer someone to this; my partnership with the Book of Job.

The disciples believed that Jesus was the Christ before his death, burial, and resurrection. They confessed that in Matthew 16:16, John 1:49, and John 6:69. Yet their belief that He was the Christ; the Son of the living God was not enough for them to understand what that meant; even when He explained it to them.

How much can we understand the words that represent the creation of the world, if we limit ourselves from understanding the world that those words represent? In the same way that the word “said” has more meaning than we can speak of, and the word “saw” has more dimension than we can perceive and the word “light” has more spectrum than we can see, these other words do actually represent more than what we may notice upon our first reading of them. Unless you realize that, you won’t understand how relevant this ancient text is to reality as we can know it today.
