On June 25, Oklahoma's state superintendent directed all public schools to teach not only the Bible but also the Ten Commandments. After this extraordinary move that blurs the lines between religious instruction and public education, we ask the question: would religion in public schools be harmful? Tune in to today's episode of Wake Up, Look Up as we explore the rules regarding public schools and religion, and discuss what is right and what isn't.

Today's episode me and Obi will be doing a fun podcast and hanging out doing Bible would you rather and some riddles!
What would your Christian life be like if you had no Bible? Would that make any difference? After all, what is the Bible supposed to do for our lives? God gives us some answers to those questions in this Psalm. Every verses in this long psalm (except verse 4) in someway refers to the Word of God. The psalm is arranged according to the Hebrew alphabet. It’s as though God were saying, here are the ABCs of how to use the Word of God in your life. “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord!” (v.1). “Undefiled” means “people who are blameless, those who have integrity.” If we have integrity, our whole lives are built around the Word of God. The psalmist says, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” (v.2). Are you wholeheartedly into the Word of God? In the Bible, heart refers to the inner person, and that includes the mind (v.7). It also includes the will (v.8). In other words, when you give your whole heart, mind and will to the Word of God, it starts to put your life together. Is your life or your home “falling apart” today? Turn to the Word of God. The Bible has one author—God. It has one theme—Jesus Christ. It has one message—the salvation of your soul. It has one blessing to bring—a life of integrity. *******^******* The Word of God is a powerful spiritual resource. Its truth feeds your soul. As you walk in the life of faith, the Holy spirit uses the Bible to minister to you. Get into the Word and allow to make you whole and build integrity into your life.
"Jesus took upon himself our humanity. He was fully God and fully human. And just like we die, he died. But through his death he destroyed death. "Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, ... Therefore he had to be made like his brothers ..., so that he might become ... high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. ..." Hebrews 2:14-18 * Who made Martin Luther such an authority that he could remove several books of the Bible? * Would you please explain the difference between "sinner" and "sinful nature"? * How are we to give as New Covenant believers? * Why do so many reject the New Covenant?

What does the Geek think? Is Canaan the victim of some mixed up sources, a hidden castration story, or some other possibility that I’m missing? We see a historical pattern of vilification of a wartime enemy, the vanquishing of that enemy, and the subsequent romanticization, extolment, and assimilation of the subdued culture by the victor. Don’t we also find it in the Bible? Would you please comment on how shifting attitudes toward Jews and Jewish culture are reflected in the new testament, its development, and early Christian history? How and why does the new testament both vilify and extol Jews? A listener asked about Paul’s “thorn in the flesh”. Your interpretation of bar-wielding angels inspired me to a slightly different interpretation. A skolops can be any pointed thing from a splinter to a thorn to a pike to a palisade log. In between those extremes, it could also be a spear. We have Paul, speaking of journeying to the Heavens, Satan afflicting him, asking Kyrios (“Lord”) thrice that it might pass from him, and Kyrios refusing to lift the burden. That sounds to me a little like a condensed version of the Garden of Gethsemane with the Longinus spearing from John. Is it possible that John and Paul took this concept from a common (now lost) motif of the suffering servant? How can you reconcile the work of Robert Eisenman, Charles Cutler Torrey and the mythicism movement? Can you list any books, chapters, or portions of the New and Old Testament that are likely borrowings from texts from older civilizations?
Could you please provide the definition for "abomination" as used in the Bible? Would you please review the history of the concept of having a personal relationship with Jesus/God? I wonder if you know of any analysis of the similarity between the sayings of early Cyrenaics and the gospels. Explain Transsubstantiation? Do John the Baptist, Peter and others have some connection with the god Oannes? On the Gnostic notion of Christ first becoming incarnate in the awakened pneumatics.
In 1521 Martin Luther, a university professor, was called to account for his writings before representatives of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. When asked to recant his views, he faced a monumental decision. Would he acknowledge the authority of the Church above that of the Bible? Would he bow to the power of the State even though in doing so he would go against Scripture? On that day, Luther boldly asserted that Scripture alone had the right to bind his conscience and orient both his thinking and doing. Today we begin our series Everyday Reformation. It is our hope that the motto of the Reformation will continue to be our passion: The church reformed, and always reforming, according to God’s Word!
God Talk Improv; Bible would be 'R' rated movie by Doug Thorpe, Andrew Wyant
Do we ever question God's sovereignty and choices when we read through the Bible? Would we ever choose some of the characters that God chose to work through? This important question faces us in this important message.
