Searching the Scriptures with Watchman Alexander episodes

  • Searching the Scriptures #29: The Curse

    Terry and I spent most of this episode discussing the curses leveled against mankind and the nachash (serpent). We also discuss the meaning of the two "seeds" mentioned within the curses.


    Our listener question involves the relationship between salvation and following God's precepts, and also how we handle divine commands that cannot currently be upheld to the letter.

  • Searching the Scriptures #28: Nakedness and the Nachash

    Were Adam and Eve clothed in light before the Fall? Was the serpent in the Garden of Eden a talking snake or a serpentine spirit, or both? Terry and I tackle these questions as we continue our study of Genesis.


    During the Q&A we address:

    • The identity of Melchizedek
    • The importance of the location of Jerusalem

    • Searching the Scriptures #26: Genesis 2 Double-Take

      After a long hiatus, I'm back, and I'm not alone. Please welcome co-host Terry Arnold II! Together, we're picking up where I left off in our study of Genesis in order to lay the foundations for proper biblical exegesis.

    • Searching the Scriptures #25: The Sabbath, A to Z (Part III)

      In this third installment of my three-part series about Shabbat, I present guidelines for observing the seventh day. These guidelines are derived from Scripture alone, not from Jewish tradition.


      You'll learn during this episode:

      • What the Parable of the Ten Coins really means
      • Why Y'shua told his disciples to pray that their flight from Judea won't be on Shabbat
      • What is means to kindle a fire on Shabbat
      • Whether or not its okay to make Gentiles work for you
      • How to identify the principle behind the command

      • Searching the Scriptures #24: The Sabbath, A to Z (Part II)

        Did the Sabbath change from the seventh day to the first day of each week? The vast majority of professing Christians say that it has. But as anyone who reads the Bible knows, the majority is often wrong.


        In the first installment of this miniseries about the Day of Rest, I talked about the Sabbath being a permanent sign for the people of Adonai. There are no biblical passages whatsoever—zip, zero, zilch—which indicate a change in one of the Ten Commandments.

        In installment number two, I unpack the Bible verses which detractors leverage to fool the unstudied into believing that the Sabbath has been either abolished or altered. You'll learn that none of these verses, taken in proper context, say what Christian teachers claim that they say. I finish the episode by offering quotes from the people who claim to have officially altered God's sacred day. day.

      • Searching the Scriptures #23: The Sabbath, A to Z (Part I)

        The Creator God set a precedent at the beginning of the Age: one day out of every week is special. It is a day of rest and focus on El Shaddai, and it is intended to be a great blessing for kingdom people. But is this special day, the Sabbath (Hebrew: Shabbat) the seventh day or the first? And is it even still in effect today? In this first of at least three shows dealing with the Sabbath, I answer those questions from both the 'Old' and 'New' Testaments.

      • Searching the Scriptures #22: Nephesh & Neshamah

        Today, I continue laying the foundation for proper biblical interpretation by analyzing days five and six of the Genesis Creation account. You might want to have handy a Bible and a Hebrew concordance, because English translations don't suffice when studying Genesis chapters one and two.


        In this episode I talk dragons, blood, and living souls. Sounds like an episode of Game of Thrones. Who says the Bible is boring?

        During the show you'll learn:

        • That aquatic dinosaurs are listed among the animals listed on Day 5
        • That God's definition of life is not the same as the modern scientific definition
        • That the spirit and the breath of God are connected but not analogous
        • That some animals—a surprising number of them—have souls like human beings
