Abraham has a huge task in front of him... one that can only be accomplished by his faith in God. Abraham represents the pure bloodline - the seed of the woman and he and his descendants will be pitted against the seed of the serpent as the stories play out in the rest of the Bible. Consider this discussion of a literal interpretation of what the seed of the serpent is and you may see the Bible in a whole new light.

Sometimes, we think we're doing the right thing but we forget that our thing isn't God's idea. Abram Listens to Sarai and Not God - It's Sort of a Mess. - But God works with it.

After the Tower of Babel, people are scattered and nations are created (70 in total). Sons of God are assigned to each of these nations (Deuteronomy 32:8-9 - Septuagint translation). So in the midst of these creations, God wanted a nation of his own... ever ask why? Let's go down the rabbit hole.

I think about the cross a lot and wanted to capture some of those thoughts in this moment.

We can't possibly understand the depth of God. A gift we do have is personal awareness. Let's consider what the unique attributes we have as humans. If we can identify that, we can identify what "In His Image" means - what makes humanity different from the rest of creation.

Ok... let's take a break. I got this clip from my son. It's worth a conversation. It harkens back to our discussion of Light - Let There Be Light. Here's the clip we are sharing in this Podcast: Where Did God Come From

Moving forward, I'm posting all of the notes that inpire the PODCAST. A MOVIE IN THE MAKING Genesis 14 shows how the curse of Canaan plays out. The events in Genesis 14 can be seen as part of the unfolding of the curse of Ham, which is introduced earlier in the Bible in Genesis 9 verses 20-27. Here's a closer look at how the curse of Ham and the subsequent story of Canaan plays out in the context of Genesis 14: The Curse of Ham (Genesis 9 verses 20-27) After the flood, Noah became drunk, an...

Ironic that this issue comes up in the discussion of the Tower of Babel. If we stick to one narrative copy of the Bible, this can be completely missed. This is a rabbit hole you don't want to miss if you really want to know what the Bible means and what the early Christians knew that you may not. This will help you understand Paul much more when you realize his Bible is different than yours!

More fun with the names in Genealogy. The Tower of Babel.

This is a deeper dive inspired by the scenes from Good Will Hunting and more focused on what the Bible says.

Stick with us (me). I generated this content by asking ChatGPT the meanings of names and then to put those meanings into a cohesive sentence. Then I finally asked ChatGPT to take the full list and create one cohesive story. I've attached the result here so you can read it for yourself. The Story Behind the Meaning Behind the Names

I sandwiched this conversation between two scenes. The conversation over glorifies the knowledge of Will Hunting in the movie so I wanted to temper that that with the scene in the park where Robin Williams knocks Will down a notch in a very loving way.

Puzzled as to why Noah curses Canaan, Hams son and not Ham himself? Or for that matter any of Hams other sons. Why specifically Ham's son?

So for today's Christians who may dismiss the whole spiritual nature of the Bible, this podcasts helps you understand how the recognition of the spiritual side of religion has shaped your devotion to God... whether you believe in the supernatural or not.

The New Testament authors did not shy away from the spiritual realm. I think in today's culture, we dismiss the spiritual as "not scientific". Big mistake.

Sometimes you have to put aside your preconceived notions of reality and take the Bible quite literally. Often, when you do that, the picture of what is going on, especially with regards to the Old Testament can make a lot more sense. We live in a world where if we can't see, feel, touch, taste or smell it... it doesn't exist. We live in a world that must be explainable by science. This might actually be a obstacle to your faith, I know it was mine! But the more I dig in, the more faith I have ...

Understanding the divergent nature of sin, the long term effects and even some geographical theology.

Prayers To God Do Not Have To Be Complicated or Deep... This is the story of Jabez. Simple and effective prayer comes from the heart.

This is a deeper conversation warning about the allure of buying into prophecy and numerology. Be descerning, be critical, and skeptical.

This is interesting, fascinating and not necessarily real... BUT we take three YouTube videos and dissect them to help us understand how biblical numerology can be used for interpretation and prophecy. In my own personal experience with numerologist, it always seems like the conclusion guides the interpretation rather than blindly finding a conclusion based on what the numbers say. I've always entertained numerology with a degree of skepticism AND fascination. When you combine something as preci...

Numbers are all over the Bible and their use is not random. When you start paying attention, you see their meaning everywhere and perhaps even prophecy. Episode Link: https://www.rabbitholesandmeditations.com/the-not-so-secret-meaning-of-numbers

The Scapegoat has such significance. We often think of the Scapegoat in a negative way... someone using and excuse to get away with something. But that's not what the scapegoat was.
