The Bible Is Metal

Welcome to The Bible Is Metal. In today's episode, Ben and Levi wrestle with a difficult story in the Bible involving both incest and sexual assault. In king David's own family, the man known for being after God's own heart failed to be a godly parent to his children of many wives and it resulted in sexual abuse and abstraction of justice. This story by itself offers no redemption in sight, but we can trust that even though many people seem to get away with the worst of crimes, God himself will one day deal out perfect justice for every sinful act from the greatest to the least.

The story of Jael and Sisera is another example of God using mighty women to accomplish his purposes, even if that's running a tent peg through the temple of an army commander.

Welcome to the 5th episode of The Bible is Metal. Today we are discussing the story of Uzzah, a priest who did not follow God's instructions on how to properly transport his physical representation of his presence with Israel. God at various times in history decides to give harsh reminders of his holiness to a people who so easily disregard that which is to be treated as holy and set apart.

Welcome to the fourth episode of The Bible Is Metal. Today we dive into a well know story about a young shepherd boy who took down a man who was, by all accounts, a giant; with nothing but a sling and a stone. Imagine a warrior like the mountain from Game Of Thrones who was 6.9” tall. A fearsome warrior who can crush a mans skull. Yet, according to the Bible, Goliath was “Six cubits and a span” (1 Samuel 17:4) which, by somes calculations, be about 9 feet 9 inches tall. A man trained for war since he was a kid. (1 Samuel 17:33). The approximate speed of the stone that David slung at Goliath was about 150 miles an hour which was only enough to knock Goliath out, giving David the time to draw Goliaths sword and cut off his head.   Social Media:   Facebook: @thebibleismetal Instagram: @thebibleismetal Twitter: @bible_metal YouTube: The Bible Is Metal   Podcast Platforms: ITunes, Spotify, Google Play Music and more to come.
