Believing Christians and Sin

Bible Bard podcast BB-165 Believing Christians and Sin. Some Christians think that once they believe the Gospel, all of their sins – past, present, and future - are forgiven and they can stop worrying about punishment from God. When those who have believed the Gospel make a choice to disobey God and defiantly sin, even though God forgives their sin, He still will punish them for their willful disobedience!

Hope and Disappointment in Life

Bible Bard podcast BB-163 Hope and Disappointment in the Bible. Hope is a something Elon Musk views as a future-oriented vision that motivates present action to preserve the human species by making it capable of surviving and flourishing beyond Earth. Musk's hope is actually despair because he says, "“[If] we could not be a multi-planet species, then I would find it incredibly depressing..." Bible hope is different because it goes beyond humanity’s circumstances to God’s promises, which rise above human circumstance.

How to Live According to Animal Sacrifice

Bible Bard podcast episode BB-162 How to Live According to Animal Sacrifice. The Bible is literature; therefore, sometimes it does not directly tell readers what God wants, it shows them! God outlines to Moses three (3) animal sacrifices that are to be made in sequence by a priestly class for the benefit of themselves and the people. Modern readers often find the idea of animal sacrifice repugnant. Today we look at these three sacrifices as literature to see what the text is teaching about approaching God.
