But is it Biblical?

What does Jubilees say about Enoch and the Watchers? Who is Mastema? What are some things we see in Jubilees that we don’t see in Genesis? Do we see “sexual immorality”…aka Porneia…in Jubilees?

Why have we rejected the book of Jubilees in our canon? Should the additions be ignored? What about the contradictions? This week we look at some of the arguments people use to dismiss Jubilees. What does Jubilees have to do with Ezra? Is Malachi a real prophet? And why does that matter? Was God silent during the Intertestamental period? Or did we just completely miss God’s voice in those “400 Sil...

This week's song is “IMecy” by Elevation Worship & Chris Brown:  https://music.apple.com...

Have we added anything to it? How did we get the Bible we have today? What is a canon? And who made the decisions about what books went in the Bible? Did God tell someone the world needed a new sacred text?...

Warning: This episode will make you think. We’re taking a look at extremism in Islam. What words and terms do we associate with Islam? And what do they really mean? Are God and Allah the same?
