"God’s word is an instructive guide. If we disobey it for the right reasons, we are faithful saints." -Matthew J. Korpman This week, on the show, I sit down with author, Matthew J. Korpman. Matthew's new book, Saying No to God is a radical approach to reading the Bible faithfully. Scripture is rarely definitive and clear when it comes to things that "God says." Between the books of the Bible, it seems like God's nature and focus change at will and even often contradict themselves. So what's going on here? In his book, Korpman has an interesting answer. There's a different way to read and understand the Bible, one in which begs the readers to push back on what God says because the God of scripture requires it. Taking a closer look at the text reveals something interesting going on, so join us today as we delve into Saying No to God. Matthew has a brilliant way of making complex ideas simple and accessible. It's a fantastic conversation about getting to the heart of what matters. On a personal note: I read through this book with a group of friends and it was a formative experience to some and a deconstructive one for others. Either way, it's a book that begs to be read if you're looking to challenge some of your Sunday School notions of scripture and dig deeper to see a God that is far more loving and inclusive than institutionalized Christianity is comfortable with. For that very reason alone, you should check out this book.

Saying No To God with Matthew J. Korpman - Episode 378My guest today on Voices In My Head is Matthew J. Korpman. Matthew is a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church who has served as both a student pastor and chaplain within the denomination and has also served as a homilist for various parishes outside the denomination, including the Episcopal church. He holds three Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in Theology, Archaeology, Philosophy, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Screenwriting, all from La Sierra University. In his new book Saying No to God: A Radical Approach to Reading the Bible Faithfully, Matthew makes the case that Blessed are those who defy God. Although bumper stickers abound that propose otherwise, the Bible itself reveals that just because “God says it,” does not, in fact, mean “that settles it.” On the contrary, Korpman contends that a close reading of Scripture reveals that God does not want us to blindly obey him, but rather, invites us to “lock hands” with him and fight. The purpose of this book is to show another way to understand the Bible, one in which readers are not asked to accept what God says, but on the contrary: to say no to it, not because they merely want to, but because the God of the Bible actually requires it.Links for Matthew J.

Listen to this week's episode here: https://therecklesspursuit.com/episode108 Is there ever a time to say NO to God? Does God always demand a yes? Would God knowingly go against His own character? --- throughout the bible, we find instances of people calling God out for seemingly going against His own character. From asking for child sacrifices to threatening the slaughter of His own chosen people, God has on more than one occasion came across as not so loving or merciful? But what if that was all a test? What if God wanted to see if we knew who He really was? This week, we are talking with Matthew Korpman, Author of “Saying No to God”. Matthew's work does a fantastic job of bridging the gap between both liberal and conservative-minded individuals to come together within the confines of Biblical inerrancy and scripture. Matthew shows us that there is, in fact, a time to say no to God. This week we talked about: * Finding common ground between conservative and liberal-minded bible readers. * Having a personal relationship with God * How the Bible in text conveys human empathy * Why should you say no to God? * Our responsibility towards divinity * What does it mean for God to test us? * Opposing God out of loyalty to Him. * How to see the heart of God beyond plain text. * Understanding when and why to say no to God. --- GUEST INFO: Matthew J.

Matthew J. Korpman is a rising biblical scholar, itinerant preacher, and theological arsonist. Currently pursuing his Master of Arts in Religion at Yale Divinity School, he holds four bachelor degrees in Theology, Archaeology, Philosophy, and Screenwriting. He has traveled and excavated in Israel and Jordan, and is proud to call San Diego, California his home. With Endorsements from Brian McLaren, Pete Rollins, Brad Jersak, and many others.. This young theologian is one to watch!
Saying no to God... is that even a thing? Matthew J. Korpman sure thinks so! He joins Josh this week for a conversation about his latest book 'Saying No To God: A Radical Approach to Reading the Bible Faithfully'. Korpman proposes that the Bible itself reveals that just because 'God says it,' does not, in fact, mean 'that settles it.' Instead, a closer reading of scripture shows that God does not want us to just blindly obey him, but rather, invites us to 'lock hands' with him. Could it be that readers are not asked to just accept what God says, but on the contrary: to say no to it? Not because they merely want to, but because the God of the Bible actually requires it.
