Bible On The Rocks

In this episode, Erik tells the story of The Sermon On The Mount from the book of Matthew, Chapter 5.  We come up with some alternative names that are a little bit catchier and talk about what Jesus may have meant when he decided to go "full Oprah" with his blessings and then give the impossible task.  We end up quoting Parks and Rec along with Monty Python's The Life of Brian by the end, so join us as we explore the Bible, with Bible On The Rocks!

During the recording for Episode 26 (David Spares Saul's Life, 1 Samuel 24), we got onto a tangent that had to be cut for time.  This time, it was a discussion about sin.  Are all sins equal in the eyes of God or are there varying degrees of sin?  We don't necessarily answer the question, because ultimately we don't know, but we do at least have the conversation.  So, please enjoy this bonus episode of Bible On The Rocks.
