Scripture with the Fathers

In this episode, God makes a covenant with Abram and the symbolism that God expresses shows up again, again and again, showing the immutability of God and His assurance that his word is to be believed.

Significance of the name Melchizedek, the 318 who won the battle over the five armies, Abram the one who it was accounted to as righteousness but who asked, "How will I know?"

The Battle of the Five Armies, Abram the Goel, Melchizedek the priest-king and the Todah! St. Augustine gives us the keys to typology to open what was shut.

From famine to abundance and return to the land of Canaan from Egypt. Abram and Lot separate, Lot to Sodom, Abram to the land of Canaan. What can we learn from these accounts of the Patriarchs? Is there anything truly new under the sun?

This episode covers the introduction to Abram our Father in Faith and the three fold promise of God to Abram which sees its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus Christ's passion, death and resurrection.

The tower of Babel, the Sons of God and the sons of men, and the importance of name.

"And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." (Lk. 24:27) St. Augustine picks up on this and interprets the events of Noah's nakedness and the blessings of Shem and Japheth and the curse of Ham's son Canaan.

Answering a question about the death penalty and the Church's consistent teaching of its legitimacy, from Pope Innocent I in 405 too Pius XII and John Paul II; Aquinas, Augustine and Aristotle too. How many colors in a real rainbow and what does that mean? What is the meaning of uncovering the nakedness of one's father? What were the ramifications of that sin?

Noah and the animals exit the Ark, Noah's Todah, and the covenant with God. God's promises and proscriptions and the death penalty.

We see the topology of the flood, the ark and Noah and the original "great reset."

Was the ancient flood a real event in the history of man and earth? Was it just an allegory to teach a moral truth? We look to the New Testament, St. Augustine and St. Joan of Ark for answers.

In this episode, we explore the rescue or is it the destruction of man, through a boat over the water. But even though the boat is going to make it through the waters, it's not the most pleasant place to be. (Just imagine the stench!) But what's the alternative?

From the descendents of Adam diverge into two lines, those of the sons of men and those the sons of God, the line of Seth. Yet through intermingling, the World is filled with wickedness. But God has a plan...

The genealogy of Adam to Noah and The Genealogy of Cain to Lamech and their descendents; the tares among the wheat wasn't just a parable that Jesus made up in AD 32, but a parable relating to the very beginning of man. Why is this genealogy in Scripture so important, not to be passed over?

The descendants of Cain develop civilization, technology, music, and agriculture, and moral decline. With the birth of Seth, the son of Adam and Eve, man begins to call on the name of the Lord. Where do the wives of Cain and Lamech come from? We look to the Church to answer this question.

Adam's sin of disobedience brings about envy and murder in the next generation. This episode explores how envy, which comes from the enemy, produces its own fruit, not that of life, but rather death.

Who is the "Woman" at enmity with the ancient serpent who crushes his head? In this episode we look to the Fathers of the Church and recent papal documents to gain clarity on the "Woman", who she is, and her role in the redemption of man as promised in Genesis 3:15.

In this episode we explore Adam's failure in his priestly duties, original sin and its effects and The Divine Dilemma

Temptation and the Fall: Why would a creature originally created good, turn evil and desire lesser creatures to turn evil as well? What did Eve buy with her rebellion of God's command, and how much did it cost?

We begin looking at the fall of man as a result of Adam failing in his priestly duties to keep and guard the Temple of creation. We look to Scripture itself to confirm Adam's priestly office.

In this episode we unpack Naked and Unashamed, what that means, Eros, Filial, and Agape. Man's original state and the five offices of Adam. We explore the foundation of John Paul II's "Theology of the Body."

From St. Justin Martyr to John Paul II, we explore the continuity of the Church's teaching of man's original innocence, justice, and what it means to be naked and unashamed.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the creation of man in his original innocence and preternatural justice, in harmony within himself and with God and nature. And man had a right ordered virtues of Faith, Hope, Charity, Temperance, Fortitude, Justice and Prudence because sin and death had not entered the world.

How does God create? Why is it good? What is good? And a little info on Son of Athanasius.

In this episode we complete Goed's construction project and uncover some hidden gems along the way, hidden in the Hebrew language.
