Manage episode 424711702 series 2858715
Full title: "Questioning the Bible, and Risking Belief for Faith"
Thank you for the loooong wait!
We continue from the previous episode, which followed the trail of questions that begin when I thought to myself years ago, “Maybe there is no God.” In the previous episode, we followed how I wrestled with the questions about what we really mean by “God,” what it is to try to understand all of reality as a whole, and how this eventually led me to a book, written by those very people who came to relate to reality as a whole, as “Who,” that speaks with us.
This book, the Christian Bible, is the focus of my next set of questions, which this episode explores. It will recount how I wrestled with the questions of what it means for the Bible to be “the Word of God,” and how anything we can put into words and write on a book can meaningfully be God speaking, and the central role of the figure of Jesus in it all. We will follow how I tried to think through some of the questions posed against the Bible from science and history, and where I eventually arrived afterward.
And what I found was: to take a journey of faith, you have to risk your beliefs.
2:02 How we’ve gotten our question of God backwards
8:25 How can a book ever be God “speaking?”
13:33 How life of a person is God speaking
19:43 Question about morality of the Bible
25:20 Question about science and the Bible
32:32 Question about history and the Bible
40:15 Bible is a map; follow at your own risk
