Q: My question is from Romans 4:10-12. If Abraham's righteousness was based on faith and not circumcision, how might women in Abraham's time have expressed their covenant relationship with God, given they did not receive circumcision? Summary: In this episode Dr. E and Hanna respond to a listener's insightful question from Romans 4:10–12: If Abraham was credited as righteous by faith before he was circumcised, how did women—who were never circumcised—participate in the Abrahamic covenant? Dr. E explains that Abraham's righteousness came through faith in Genesis 15:6, and circumcision came later as a sign and seal of that faith. Though only males received the physical mark of circumcision, Dr. E emphasizes that women absolutely participated in the covenant. Like uncircumcised Gentiles who believed, women were counted righteous by faith in Yahweh. The sign of circumcision was given to men as a symbol of being set apart and because the covenant seed passed through the male line. But the covenant itself—and its blessings—extended to all who believed, regardless of gender. Women participated fully in the Abrahamic covenant by their belief in the promises of God. Their faith, not ritual, was what God honored. This reinforces a key biblical truth: righteousness and covenant inclusion have always been by faith. Abraham's story serves as a timeless reminder that it is belief in God—not outward signs—that defines belonging in His family. Takeaways: Abraham was declared righteous by faith before he was ever circumcised. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant, not the source of righteousness. Women participated in the covenant by faith, just like uncircumcised Gentiles. The physical sign was given to men because the seed of the covenant passed through them. Inclusion in God's promises has always been by belief, not by physical rituals. Romans 4 affirms that faith is the defining mark of God's people—then and now. Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

6/1/2025 Joel 3:1-2 Hosea 3:4-5 No Two State Solution! Intro: God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant they would be His people and occupy His land Genesis 12 and 15. Genesis 12:2-3 is the promise And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. Genesis 15:18 is the boundaries of the land. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: And that means that they must occupy the land again in the last days. Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 God tells His people that they will occupy the land again in the last days. They will be brought from the gentile nations after being scattered among the gentiles. The UN wants Two States. Israel and Palestine. It might happen. I can't say it won't…. but one thing I can say….God is not going to be happy about it and will destroy those who try to do it!

We have all experienced or heard the conversational question that sometimes gets asked when one person is getting to know another. “So, are you religious?” The response can be a myriad of differing replies, one of which is, “Yeah, I'm a Christian.” That answer usually puts the respondent into the broad and vague category of Christianity in the 21st century. The real question is, what does it mean to be a true Christian according to the original biblical meaning? If we put aside all of the tradition, all of the preconceived notions, and all of the countless denominations, what does the Bible say it means to be a genuine and sincere disciple of Jesus? Christianity is the world's largest religion with over 2.4 billion followers, but the key question is: how many are true followers of Christ versus simply identifying as Christians? The Bible explains that genuine Christianity revolves around complete reliance on and the complete following of Jesus. It acknowledges God's plan for salvation through His son. Scriptural passages like John 3:16-17 and 1 Peter 1:18-21 highlight Jesus' role as the Redeemer who saved humanity through his sacrifice. We are "new creatures" 2 Corinthians 5:17 emphasizes that being "in Christ" makes a person a "new creature," representing transformation and renewal. This is a much bigger deal than most of us think, as it has everything to do with being guided by God's spirit for the sake of personal growth in Christ and the sacrificing of our own will and desires. True discipleship requires self-denial and cross-bearing (Luke 9:23), which demonstrates commitment beyond passive belief. This commitment was foreshadowed in predestination found in Ephesians 1:3-6, which describes how faithful Christians as a class (not predestined as individuals) were chosen before the world's foundation for a holy calling. What about our own identity as Christians? Are our thoughts, words, actions and beliefs reflecting a deep and consistent engagement with God's plan? Many may admire Jesus, yet few fully follow him in action. Galatians 3:16, 26-29 ties Christian discipleship to the Abrahamic Covenant, illustrating how a true Christian inherits the spiritual promises given to Abraham to bless all the families of the earth. Christians are also likened to a "royal priesthood" and the "bride of Christ" (1 Peter 2:9-10, Ephesians 5:22-27). Both descriptions highlight our responsibility to serve God. Practical applications include self-sacrificing love (John 15:12-14) and mutual support within the "body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). The bottom line is that Christianity is a life of progression, sacrifice and commitment—not mere admiration.

Noah was God's chosen man to inaugurate His "new" post-diluvian world, and He chose Abram out of that world - still groaning under the curse - to be His instrument for ushering in the actual new creation that the post-flood world prefigured. This message examines the human and historical context for God's covenant with Abram, which is crucial for understanding the covenant's purpose in its own time, in the life of Israel, and in God's larger purpose for His creation fulfilled in the Messiah.

We explore the story of Abraham, Sarai, and Hagar from Genesis 16 and 17. We delve into the implications of Sarai's suggestion to Abraham to father a child with Hagar, the resulting tension within the household, and the birth of Ishmael. We reflect on the 13 years of silence before God gives Abraham a new name and reaffirms his covenant, introducing circumcision as a symbol of the Abrahamic Covenant. Lastly, we discuss the shock and laughter that ensue when God reveals that Sarah, despite her age, will bear a son, Isaac, who will inherit the covenant promises.Bible ReadingsGenesis 16:1-16Genesis 17:1-27Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Today we meet Abraham's grandsons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob, known for his deceitful ways, manages to gain the birthright and blessing intended for his older brother, Esau. We explore the significance of God's announcement that "the older will serve the younger" and how it plays out in the lives of these two brothers. Despite their flaws, we see how God's blessing is ultimately a gift and not something earned through deceit or strength. Jacob's struggle with God leads to a name change and confirmation of his inheritance of the Abrahamic Covenant promises.Bible ReadingsGenesis 25:19-33Genesis 27:1-45Genesis 32:24-30Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In the Fathers Era, we see God call Abram out of the city of Ur. He calls him to leave everything behind and embark on a journey to a land that God will show him. More than that, He calls him with the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant… promises of land, seed, and blessing to the world. In the promised Land, Abram's faith is counted to him as righteousness. Soon we witness the name change from Abram to Abraham, signifying a new identity for this father of many.Bible ReadingsGenesis 12:1-3Genesis 15:1-6Romans 4:1-8Genesis 17:1-8Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!
