  • 3. Yahweh vs. Chemosh: Battle of the Hebrew War Gods in II Kings 3:26

    18:58||Season 1, Ep. 3
    Today we're going to be taking a look at the famous battle of the Hebrew war gods as we read about it in II Kings 3:26 and then contrast and compare it to God as revealed to us only through Jesus Christ. Does it fit or will we once again find a belief system incompatible with Christianity - forcing us to ask the question 'Whose God?'Notes:The Very First Bible:https://www.theveryfirstbible.orgPre-Nice Christianity:https://pre-nicene.orgFBN podcast episodes: https://www.firstbiblenetwork.com/PrenicenePerspective.htmlFBN Radio:https://www.firstbiblenetwork.com/FBNRadio.htmlSpoilers:https://www.compellingtruth.org/Moabites.htmlhttp://web.mit.edu/jywang/www/cef/Bible/NIV/NIV_Bible/2KGS+3.htmlhttps://apologeticspress.org/ruth-david-and-a-moabite-mandate-5633/https://classroom.synonym.com/religious-offerings-and-sacrifices-to-the-greek-gods-12086670.htmlhttps://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-moabites

    Is human sacrifice compatible with the teachings of Christ? Apparently it is if you believe what's written in the Old Testament is the 'word of God.'

  • 1. Whose God? Hebrew Wrestlemania: Deconstructing Jacob's Fight With His 'God' In Genesis 32

    15:22||Season 1, Ep. 1
    For our first edition of the 'Whose God?' series we selected Genesis 32: 22-32 - you may know it as the story of the Hebew character Jacob wrestling with his 'god' - and winning the match. But the true identity of his wrestling opponent and the religion it symbolizes may surprise you.Antaeus:https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Gigantes/Antaeus/antaeus.htmlTimes of Israel:https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/did-jacob-wrestle-god-an-angel-of-god-satan-or-one-of-his-angels/Genesis 32:22-32The Very First Bible:https://www.theveryfirstbible.orgFBN Radio:https://www.firstbiblenetwork.com/FBNRadio.htmlGenesis is an example of a work in the "antiquities" genre, as the Romans knew it, a popular genre telling of the appearance of humans and the ancestors and heroes, with elaborate genealogies and chronologies fleshed out with stories and anecdotes.[15] The most notable examples are found in the work of Greek historians of the 6th century BC: their intention was to connect notable families of their own day to a distant and heroic past, and in doing so they did not distinguish between myth, legend, and facts.[16] Professor Jean-Louis Ska of the Pontifical Biblical Institute calls the basic rule of the antiquarian historian the "law of conservation": everything old is valuable, nothing is eliminated.[17] This antiquity was needed to prove the worth of Israel's traditions to the nations (the neighbours of the Jews in the early Persian province of Judea), and to reconcile and unite the various factions within Israel itself.[17]
