Podcasts about how not to read the bible

Welcome to the All of Life podcast from Redemption Church Tempe where we have conversations on faith, culture, theology, and beyond to help us live all of life all for Jesus. As a church, we have recently entered into a new season we're calling the Word and Spirit season, where we are seeking to be shaped into a community that's marked by attentiveness to the Word and Spirit in everyday life. In the coming episodes, we are going to be exploring both practically and specifically how we desire to encounter the second and third persons of the Trinity in all of life. For more information about the Word and Spirit Season visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com/word-spirit-season/ This week, we are re-releasing an interview from our September 2021 First Wednesday speaker, Dan Kimball, as a helpful resource for reading and listening to the word. In this episode, Dan shares wisdom from his book, "How Not To Read The Bible," on how to read the Bible well and navigate potentially tough and confusing scriptures. Dan Kimball is the author of several books on leadership, church, and culture. He was one of the founders of Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California where he still serves on staff. He is also a faculty member at Western Seminary and leads the ReGeneration Project, which exists to equip and encourage new generations to think theologically and participate in the mission of the church. Contributors for this podcast were Josh Butler and Dan Kimball. Editing by Jordan Unterburger, music provided by Warren Williams, and this podcast was produced by Jordan Unterburger.

Sept. 4, 2022 - How (Not) To Read The Bible by Pullman Foursquare Church

Who was the original audience for the book of Genesis? Although we might be tempted to think we are, Genesis was written a long time ago in a different language and culture. Thinking through who the audience was, will help us approach the first chapter of Genesis on its own terms. In this episode, Will Barlow labors to put Genesis in its own context. He reminds us of what Israel had just been through in Egypt as well as other creation accounts from the ancient Near East. His goal is simply to contextualize Genesis within it's own time and place in order to help us avoid anachronism.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— What is our assumption about the Bible? Background to Genesis Who wrote Genesis? Some say that it was a mixture of writers over a longer span of time I believe that Moses wrote Genesis (with the spirit of God guiding him) How does this affect our reading of Genesis? What was going on: Exodus 1:8-10   Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, "Behold, the people of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and, if war breaks out, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land." Exodus 3:1-2   Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. Exodus 3:3-4   And Moses said, "I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned." When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Exodus 3:5-6   Then he said, "Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." And he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. Exodus 3:7-8   Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Exodus 3:9-10   And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt." Exodus 3:11-12   But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" He said, "But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain." Exodus 3:13-14   Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Exodus 3:15-16   God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel: 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, Exodus 3:17   and I promise that I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey."' Exodus 17:3   But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?" Numbers 21:5   And the people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food." Who was the original audience of Genesis? The very people who grumbled and complained to Moses People who had a slave mentality (after generations of slavery in Egypt) People who were around idols in Egypt for centuries Background on Genesis“Genesis was written to the Israelites after they had lived in a land that worshiped many gods to remind them of who the one true God was—not to explain the science and details of creation.” (pg. 166) Questions for Genesis to Answer Are we going to survive here in the desert? Are we safe here? Is there really only one God? What about all the Egyptian gods? Are they angry we left Egypt? Is this God who rescued us still here, or are we alone? What do we have to do to please this one God so we will have crops that won't fail and have food for our families? Should we worship the sun? Should we worship the moon like the Egyptians? Or worship like the Canaanites, who are now nearby? Is the Egyptian story of how the world was made the true one? (pg. 168) Contrasting Genesis 1Contrasting Genesis 1 with the other creation accounts: Single God Creates by Himself using a word Creates humans with love and care Views humans as more than servants Comparing Genesis 1Comparing Genesis 1 with the other creation accounts: Similar view of a “flat Earth” Similar view of waters above and below Similar views of a solid dome above the Earth When I say “Earth,” what comes to mind? The Hebrews thought of this: Questions we ask of Genesis 1In our modern society, here are some questions that we ask of Genesis 1: How old is the Universe? How old is the Earth? How did plants live without the Sun for a few days? Where did the light come from if the Sun wasn't there?

Week 5 of How (Not) To Read The Bible, we discuss how there's only one way to God and that's through Jesus. We're thankful its by what He already did and not what we have to work for.

How (Not) To Read The Bible

In our last message of the series: How Not To Read The Bible, we ask the question, “Are there contradictions in the Bible?”  The question is of vital importance because if there are contradictions then the Bible must not be the word of God.  If God contradicts himself then he cannot be trusted.  Those who stand in opposition to the reliability of scripture are constantly arguing that the Bible is full of contradictions, but as we will discover, their statement is simply not true.

In our first message on "How Not To Read The Bible," we take a look at the issue of slavery. At one time people misread the Bible and used it to claim that God supported slavery. This is a great example of how not to read the Bible. God is against slavery.
