The Curse of Ham is a theological idea that has been used throughout history in attempts to explain slavery, racial distinctions, and even racial hierarchy. But what does the biblical text actually say?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines Genesis 9 and the historical interpretations surrounding Ham and Canaan. Was Ham actually cursed? What was Ham's sin? Does the text support the increasingly popular maternal incest theory? Why was Canaan cursed instead of Ham? And when did the idea emerge that the Curse of Ham applied to African peoples?We examine the biblical text, early Jewish and Christian interpretations, church history, and the later development of racial applications of this passage.The goal is not to force modern political concerns into Scripture, but to understand Genesis on its own terms and examine the historical record honestly.00:00 The Curse of Ham Theology Is Back 05:20 What Does Genesis 9 Actually Say? 13:55 The Maternal Incest Theory Examined 19:12 Why Was Canaan Cursed Instead of Ham? 28:30 How Jewish and Christian Writers Interpreted the Curse 35:40 When Did the Curse Become Connected to Black Skin? 39:30 The Curse of Ham and African Slavery 45:00 Modern Race and Biblical Interpretation 52:00 The Prophetic Meaning of Noah's Blessings and Curse 59:00 What Did Calvin and Other Theologians Actually Believe?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1502 - Throughout mankind's history, illness, depression, crime, and war have been thought of as unfortunate but normal. Considerations of global societies where none of these problems exist are often dismissed as fanciful tales of ‘utopia.' ‘Utopia' usually refers to an imaginary state, not something that could happen in the real world. The Bible contains many prophecies of a time when conditions on the earth will lack the unpleasant realities we now consider normal. Explore the better world that will soon replace our present world order.
Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “5 Senses.” Dr. Winfred Neely, the Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute, explored how our senses can point us toward a deeper experience of God and His presence.

Title: Breaking the Cyclical CurseScripture Reading: Genesis 9:20-29 ESVSeries: Bizarre BibleWhat if the bizarre story of Noah and Ham isn't just about nakedness, but a deeper, cyclical sin? This sermon challenges the common interpretation of Noah and Ham's story, through 4 Cs: the Crime, the Curse, the Cycle, and the Cure. Just like Ham, we carry the same cyclical sin in our heart today. How do we break that curse? Look to the only one who can cure the cycle, Jesus.

Title: BEARing the Burden of BaldnessScripture Reading: II Kings 2:23-25Series: Bizarre BibleTaylor Englund joins Pastor Bill to discuss if Elisha overreacted by cursing 42 boys for mocking his baldness, or if there is a deeper, cosmic meaning behind this bizarre Bible story. This episode unpacks the strange narrative of Elisha and the two bears, revealing it's more than a prophet's overreaction. It explores 4 "P"s: the "place" of Bethel, a center of idolatry, and Elisha as the "prophet," a new Joshua leading a spiritual conquest. The "perpetrators" were young adults challenging God's authority, leading to a divine "punishment" that validated Elisha's role in reclaiming God's cosmic territory through spiritual warfare. As members of God's royal family, we are called to continue Jesus' cosmic mission, revealing His victory and reclaiming spiritual territory by spreading the good news of His Kingdom.

Many Christians appreciate heartfelt worship, but where is the line between genuine spiritual expression and emotionalism? Critics have long argued that Pentecostals place too much emphasis on feelings, while Pentecostals maintain that biblical faith engages both the heart and the mind.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical role of emotions in the Christian life and addresses one of the most common criticisms of Pentecostal worship. He explains what Scripture teaches about the role of emotional expression in worship and how Pentecostals should respond to accusations that they elevate emotion above biblical truth.Whether you are a lifelong Pentecostal, new to the faith, or simply interested in learning what the Bible says about worship, this episode provides a balanced, biblical perspective on the relationship between truth and emotion in corporate worship and in the life of the individual believer.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Did Peter and Paul preached different gospels? Some proponents of hyper-dispensationalism argue that the church did not begin on the Day of Pentecost but later with the ministry of the apostle Paul. If that were true, they contend, Peter's message in Acts 2—including his command to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ—was intended for Israel alone and is not binding on the church today.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical claims behind hyper-dispensationalism and explains why the New Testament consistently presents one gospel, one church, and one plan of salvation. He explores the relationship between the ministries of Peter and Paul, the significance of the Day of Pentecost, and the continuing relevance of Acts 2:38 for believers today.Whether you've encountered hyper-dispensationalist arguments online or simply want to better understand the relationship between Israel, the church, Peter, and Paul, this episode will help you interpret the New Testament with greater confidence and biblical clarity.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

In service on Sunday, our Apostle taught on the topic: The Science of Biblical Interpretation. One of the major truths emphasized was that the Bible is a book about Jesus.
Title: Is He Spiderman or is He Spiderman?Scripture Reading: Judges 6:11-24Series: Bizarre BibleToday we welcome Taylor Englund for podcast-style message. Taylor and Pastor Bill delve into Gideon's perplexing encounter with the Angel of the LORD, revealing how the Angel of the LORD is often a pre-incarnate manifestation of God the Son. It demonstrates that the concept of the Trinity, or Godhead, is deeply rooted in Old Testament scripture. Embrace the thoroughly biblical truth of the Trinity, understanding that God, in His complex and powerful nature, uses the weak to display His glory and deserves our exclusive worship.
What did Christ proclaim to the “spirits in prison” after His resurrection? How does 1 Peter 3:18–22 reveal His triumph over the powers of darkness and affirm the certainty of God's victory?
Among the luminaries of the early Church were two brothers: Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. Both were bishops, wrote theological treatises and made important contributions to the Church. And yet their style of biblical interpretation was very different. How and why?

Send us Fan MailNEW EPISODE - I'm so pleased to welcome back my friend Peter Wehner — political thinker, former White House speechwriter, regular contributor to The Atlantic and The New York Times, and one of the most thoughtful Christian voices speaking into America's moral and political turmoil.Peter joins me to discuss four remarkable recent *essays that confront some of the darkest and most urgent questions facing our nation right now. Together, we explore the rise of militant Christian nationalism, the theology and rhetoric surrounding Pete Hegseth, and the dangerous fusion of political grievance, religious certainty, and the language of holy war.Peter examines how biblical texts — especially the imprecatory Psalms — are being weaponized to justify aggression, vengeance, and even bloodlust in modern political life. We talk about the influence of figures like Douglas Wilson, the appeal to “King David” spirituality, and why many respected biblical scholars insist that the conquest ethic of the Old Testament cannot be used as a model for Christian political action today. As Peter argues, the Sermon on the Mount stands as a direct repudiation of that worldview.We also step back from the headlines to reflect on our deeply fractured culture — our polarization, loneliness, loss of community, and longing for what the Hebrew Scriptures call shalom. Along the way, we draw wisdom from voices like Desmond Tutu, Rowan Williams, and David Bentley Hart.This is an honest, sobering, and ultimately hopeful conversation about faith, power, truth, and the soul of America. I hope you'll join us.*See SHOW NOTES for Pete's four recent essays.Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, “Hope Rising,” with conversations about how we find hope in every aspect of life. Lana Silk joined us to share what’s really happening in Iran during the ceasefire, why it is concerning, and how believers are holding onto hope in Christ despite intense persecution. Lana is the President and CEO of Transform Iran, with over 20 years of experience in marketing and a passion for helping voices be heard. Born in Iran and educated in the UK, she has also served in ministry as a worship leader and college chaplain with a focus on youth and mental health. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to discuss the danger of spiritual plateauing, the call to keep growing in Christ, and finding true hope in Jesus rather than in our own feelings. Dr. Neely is the retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary and serves as Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute. He has pastored several churches in the Chicago area, served as a missionary pastor to Senegal, and teaches globally through ministry and conferences. He is the author of “How to Overcome Worry – Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation.” We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We asked the question, “Do you have a time recently where you’ve plateaued in an area spiritually, and the Holy Spirit showed you what needed to change?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
