The Third episode in a 4-part series, “Holy Heresies: A Podcast About the Things We Believe Which We Shouldn't Believe.” We're Walking Through the Book “Counterfeit Christianity” by Roger Olson https://www.amazon.com/Counterfeit-Christianity-Persistence-Errors-Church/dp/1426772297 (https://www.amazon.com/Counterfeit-Christianity-Persistence-Errors-Church/dp/1426772297) Weeks 1-4 1. Intro to the Series, and Gnosticism 2. Trinity & Doctrine of the Trinity 3. Montanism and Marcionism - What do we do with the Bible? 4. Moralistic Therapeutic Deism – Reducing God ------------------------  Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. (Deuteronomy 5:33) ------------------------ “Not even the least of the divine and holy mysteries of the faith ought to be handed down without the divine Scriptures. Do not simply give faith to me speaking these things to you except you have the proof of what I say from the divine Scriptures. For the security and preservation of our faith are not supported by ingenuity of speech, but by the proofs of the divine Scriptures...” - Cyril of Jerusalem ------------------------ Episode Summary/For Further Exploration Why Do This Study? “Heresy” within Christianity isn't limited to the pages and annuls of history. Rather, Heresies exist in various forms and haven't lost any of their potency to corrupt our right, Christ-honoring understanding, faith, or worship. Just as we can use scripture wrong, we can carry incorrect belief, often without knowing. We will discuss a few heresies and how each of these have clung on through time and in which ways they may have latched onto our lives. What is “Revelation?” Very Simply, the term “revelation” means the revealing, uncovering, or disclosure of something. Theologians divide revelation into “General” and “Specific” Revelation What is the Bible? (From Bible Project) https://youtu.be/ak06MSETeo4 (https://youtu.be/ak06MSETeo4) Antidotes to Heresies of Biblical Interpretation Antidote for Montanism, if someone declares to have a “new,” revelation does it answer “yes” to any of the following: 1. Does the prophecy promote the prophet over Christ? 2. Is the message inconsistent with the writings of the Apostles? 3. Does it promote schism/separation over unity? 4. Does it require a sacrifice of your intellect to accept a new idea? 5. Does it exalt anything other than Jesus into the role of messiah/leader/savior? Antidote for Marcionism: Revere all scripture, Read AND study of ALL Scripture from start to end (not necessarily in one sitting or in order). Final Thoughts: Check your practices, check your heart, and trust the history and traditions of the church as it relates to having “right” faith. Be willing to think hard and long over your beliefs, and test everything in a community of Christ-centered, Bible honoring, Christians. Learn these heresies so you know what is right and wrong, to remove obstacles from your own faith, and pursue Christ faithfully without hurdles. ------------------------ Related Scripture Passages All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness… (2 Timothy 3:16 ESV) Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (Joshua 1:8 NIV) For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12-13 NIV)  But he answered, “It is written, Man shall

This is a special episode in our podcast series on “How To Read The Bible”. Tim and Jon went on the road to do this podcast live before an audience in Milpitas, California! Tim and Jon discuss literature design patterns in the Bible and answer questions from the audience. The guys do a brief recap of the How to Read The Bible series. There are key elements to reading the Bible well. Understanding plot, character, setting and biblical narrative style. (We have videos on each of these, you can see the links below in the show notes.) In this episode, the guys combine all of these elements to talk about “patterns and design elements” in the Bible. Tim and Jon use the “hyperlink” analogy, saying that all the stories in the Bible link to each other in subtle and creative ways. People can learn to see these links and see the stories layering on top of each other by understanding key design patterns and techniques. Below are timestamps of questions and examples: (36:16) Jon asks the question, "Is understanding design patterns in the Bible an “elite” way to read the Bible?" Isn’t the Bible supposed to be user friendly? It seems like studying to understand the historical context of the ancient Hebrew biblical literature is a time consuming task that some people might not be able to do. (40:38) A gentleman asks a question about the city of Joppa being mentioned in both the book of Jonah and in Acts. Is this intentional and a reference to a hidden theme in the Bible? (42:25) A gentleman asks a question about the creation of stories in the Bible. What’s the role of historical accuracy, retelling and condensing of events in the writing of the Bible? (49:58) A gentleman asks a question: If the Bible is a magnificent piece of timeless art and literature, How do you explain the Bible to people who value brevity and directness, not artful literature and analogy? (52:40) Tim gives an example of word plays and repetition in the Bible. The hebrew word “Tov” means good. Tov/Good is used in the creation story as a key repeating word. It develops first to describe creation. Then it describes humans (very good). Then it describes the “tree of the knowledge of good and not good/evil.” This theme culminates when the woman “sees that the tree is good” when the serpent tempts her, she has effectively switched places with God. God was the original one who “saw things as good”. (1:03:05) Tim gives another example in Luke. The baptism of Jesus culminates with God speaking from heaven declaring Jesus is his son. Then the next story is not a story, it’s a genealogy that works its way backward to Adam being declared “the son of God”. Then Jesus is tempted, with the devil asking him if he “really is the son of God”. Then Jesus goes to his first town and people ask “Who’s son is this?” Then Jesus casts out a demon who declares that Jesus is “the son of God”. Luke uses repetition to make a point to the reader, that Jesus is indeed who he has been declared to be, he is the Son of God. (1:07:10) Tim gives an example of the selection of Saul to be the king of Israel. The hidden word in the story is “see or seeing.” At the start of the story, we are told Saul is tall. This is a strange detail. Most Bible characters have no physical attributes described about them, but here, Saul is tall, which is later used as a symbol in the story. Saul looks for a “seer” or a “prophet” when searching for his father’s donkeys. Why would the word “seer” be used in the story? Because it is a hidden key word in the story. Samuel “sees” Saul. Samuel tells Israel to look upon Saul and “see” their king. Samuel and Israel “see” Saul and they are impressed by his height. But Saul is not a good king and God rejects him. God sends Samuel to anoint a new king. God says he has “seen a new king.” Samuel “sees” Jesse’s son Eliab and thinks one of these is to be the new king. But God speaks to Samuel and says “God doesn’t ‘see’ as humans ‘see’, humans ‘see’ with their eyes, God ‘sees’ the heart.” This line is the climax of a whole trail of breadcrumbs that started at the introduction of Saul.

What does it mean for the Bible to be both divine and a work of literary genius? The Hebrew Bible is a sophisticated piece of literary art that has a theological message, and that message is communicated through a nuanced literary medium. On this podcast, Tim and Jon spend plenty of time talking about the literary structure and design of the books of the Bible. They examine the themes in the Bible that are found throughout the entire narrative arc of Scripture. But for this episode, they back up and talk about what the Bible is in the first place. The Bible didn’t drop out of heaven, it was produced over hundreds of years by many different authors that came from one particular people group of ancient Israel. The story of the Bible emerged from the history of God’s people. The Bible tells a story with Israel at the center, but the main focus is the story of all of humanity.
