Answering the question begun in episode 92 about homosexuality and the kingdom of God. While there are differences in sexuality between the ancient world and today, let's encourage the development of a biblical imagination and the continual turning to Christ, our King.

Marriage according the Bible: Continuity between the Old Testament to the New Testament to the church to today. Are we actually "thinking biblically"? Do our ideas about sex and marriage reflect what the Bible says? Inheritance, virginity, the divine council worldview, and the idea that Jesus expanded the Torah.

Marriage according to the Bible. Beginning a survey of passages about marriage and defining marriage in the ancient Near East: what is a concubine and how did marriage "happen"? What's inheritance got to do with it? Why are polygamy and other "unsavory" practices in the Torah?

Continuing the conversation about sexuality with a detour into the topic of physical embodiment as seen from Jesus, the gospel, sacrament, and community. Do you see creation as cursed? Are the sacraments "just" symbolic? Two connected questions that with the message of the gospel can help us address our discomforts with our bodies.

How do we understand gender identity from a biblical perspective?

Focusing on the topic of gender and how it came to be today, I discuss the book the Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale. She explains the "gender paradigm" and encourages us to see a "Genesis paradigm" in relation to how we see ourselves and our bodies.

Seeing the cosmos as an interconnected whole does not come naturally to us today. This is a source of many of our struggles with understanding the divine council worldview, the image of God, and the deep meaning of ritual. A discussion on science, its nature and uses, and kicking some ideas around to stir up our minds to get that ancient context in our heads as we read Scripture. The raqia, thresholds, boundaries, and carrying our biblical imaginations from today into yesterday.

Responding to Doreen Virtue's critique of Dr. Michael Heiser. Definitions, definitions, definitions. Elohim, polytheism, divine....what do they mean? What did Dr. Heiser mean by them? Can a functional view of these terms help clear the waters?
