The Mount Hermeneutics Podcast

Matt wanted to talk about his current class that he is taking and a report that he did around the biblical basis for the global flood.  Andrae is out sick so Brian and Matt nerd out on Hebrew... enjoy #NoahsFlood #BiblicalHebrew #TheMountHermeneuticsShow #Genesis #BiblicalFlood #GlobalFlood #RegionalFlood #BiblicalLanguageTime #Hermeneutics #BiblicalExegesis #BibleStudy #OldTestament + NEW DISCLAI...

One of the more interesting events in the Old Testament is when Saul goes to a medium and asks to commune with the deceased Samuel... What actually happens there? Was it a ghost, a demon, was it really Samuel?  There is a lot to unpack here, and the guys get into it.  #1Samuel28 #WitchOfEndor #DivineCouncil #KingSaul #BiblicalStudies #BibleStudy #BiblicalHebrew #DivineCouncil #DivineCouncilWorldvi...

The guys give a review of the new Christopher Nolan film, The Odyssey. But beyond being a pop culture event, does the Odyssey hold anything that could remotely be considered interesting from a theological/historical worldview? Do the supernatural fictions within the Odyssey have any linkage to the Divine Counsel? What about the fall of the Bronze Age? Listen in and tell us what you think #TheOdyss...

What does it mean when Peter calls believers a “royal priesthood”? In 1 Peter 2, Peter reaches deep into the language of the Old Testament (temple, sacrifice, priesthood, and covenant) and applies it directly to the followers of Christ. Those aren't simply metaphors for being a Christian. They describe a people given a new identity and a priestly vocation. This week on The Mount Hermeneutics Show,...

Does the Old Testament present God as a solitary figure, or does it reveal something more complex within the identity of YHWH? Genesis 18 presents YHWH on earth; Exodus 3 identifies the Angel of YHWH as God. Daniel 7 distinguishes the Ancient of Days from the divine cloud rider, while Psalm 110 seats David’s Lord beside YHWH. In Zechariah 3, the Angel of YHWH speaks with divine authority and remov...

The guys talk about the modern version of the church and the effect and influence that it has on modern society. Is that how it is supposed to be? What could be different? How? #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #ChristianYouTube #TheMountHermeneuticsShow #ChristianPodcast #TheChurch + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae o...

What if we've been looking at and thinking about  Pentecost all wrong? What if Pentecost is actually God's answer to the Tower of Babel? In this episode of The Mount Hermeneutics Show, the boys attempt to connect Genesis 11, Deuteronomy 32, Joel 2, and Acts 2 to unravel how the nations that were scattered and disinherited at Babel are now being reclaimed through the Messiah and the power of the Ho...

What happens to us after the resurrection? Will we still be ourselves? Will we recognize one another? Will our bodies be physical, spiritual, or something entirely new? In this episode of The Mount Hermeneutics Show, the guys explore one of Christianity's most fascinating promises, the resurrection of the body. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #Chr...

Did Christianity borrow the story of Jesus from older religions? Skeptics often point to figures like Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Dionysus, and Krishna as evidence that the Gospel story was copied from ancient myths. But how strong are those claims? In this episode, the guys take a closer look at the common parallels between Christianity and other religions. Which similarities are real, which are exag...

40 Days? We know about the flood, Moses on Mount Sinai, and Jesus fasting in the wilderness. But there is another 40-day period that often goes overlooked… The 40 days between Christ’s resurrection and ascension may be one of the most overlooked periods in Scripture. What did the risen Jesus teach? How did He prepare the apostles for the nations, the kingdom, and the spiritual mission ahead? Join...

When discussing the resurrection, the conversation typically goes in a couple of directions.  One challenge is not using the Bible to prove the Bible is true.... We try to do just that. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #holyweek #lewistrilemma #apologetics + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt unless explicitly s...

Keeping with our decision to honor the entire timeframe of Christ's return, we do another week on the resurrection.  This week, we discuss the ongoing relevance of Christ's resurrection, and how it applies to modern Christians. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #holyweek + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt unles...

We do it again.  Is Easter Pagan? Everyone says it is, so it must be, right? I mean, we all know about Ishtar by now.

The guys take on an interesting section in 1 Peter (Chapter 3, verses 18 and 19), where Peter talks about the crucifixion and resurrection, but there is a seemingly odd phrase in there that has a lot to be unpackaged.  What was Peter talking about and what really happened?  Did Jesus go to Hell?  If so, why?   #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #Sheol #Jesus  + NEW DISCLA...

What is Love?  We say it an awful lot, especially around Valentine’s Day… but what do we mean when we say it?  What did God mean when he said it? Did it mean then, what it means now?

The boys talk about the biblical Nephilim, focusing on key questions about their nature and relevance. They dive into alternative viewpoints surrounding key interpretations of the term "sons of God" and why Nephilim might be relevant today. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #nephilim #SonsofGod #daughtersofmen #genesis + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING s...

We can never leave good enough alone, so we tried to close out the discussion on Paul now that Matt is back (we recorded this before the Christmas episode, but got them out of order so that the Christmas episode fit the calendar better).  #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #theapostlepaul #pauline + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt u...

The guys take a different approach to Christmas and discuss the Incarnation of God as man. Who was Jesus, and why did he have to be a baby?  Not, he was childish, but why was he borne as an infant rather than simply becoming a grown man? #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #merrychristmas #xmas #incarnation + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae...

The guys (minus Matt) discuss Paul of Tarsus, examining biblical texts and discussing Paul's apostleship, teachings, and historical context. The conversation covered various aspects of Paul's ministry, including his relationships with other apostles, his approach to reaching different audiences, and the evolution of the concept of apostleship in the New Testament. #podcast #religion #genx #theolog...
