In the final episode on chapter 1 of "The Divine Conspiracy", Daniel and I focus on how the second and third culture clash, how our loss of vision has affected the way we communicate, and what the conditions are for a playable game. As Daniel and I continue to talk about the Ideas in chapter 1, we drill down on what happens in the third culture when they want the kingdom of the second culture with...

As we journey further into the implications of values disconnected from actions, flying upside down, Daniel and I find help in C.S. Lewis's "The Abolition of Man" and get some more help from Newbigin. As Daniel and I continue to talk about the Ideas in chapter 1, we drill down on what happens in the third culture when they want the kingdom of the second culture without the first.

Daniel and I finally begin discussing Dallas Willard's book, "The Divine Conspiracy." In this introductory episode, we start by talking about the necessity of News as I read from Newbigin's "The Gospel in a Pluralist Society." The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christain imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. It is our...

What are the consequences of God justifying us? How will our allegiance to Jesus affect our actions? These are the main questions Daniel and I attempt to tackle in our final episode about justification. #thebelfastpodcast #thegospel #goseplallegiance Biblical Languages Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/an-interview-with-dr-matthew-bates-on-his-book/id1538488926?i=1000502506477 The Bel...

Daniel and I continue to dissect the intersection of salvation by allegiance alone and how this justifies us before God. Daniel brings in ideas from a paper he wrote regarding our moral potential and our depraved inclinations. #thebelfastpodcast #thegospel #goseplallegiance Biblical Languages Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/an-interview-with-dr-matthew-bates-on-his-book/id1538488926...

#thebelfastpodcast #thegospel #goseplallegiance As we continue our investigation of the newsworthiness of the Gospel, Daniel and I talk about the concept of justification by faith and its connection to how our actions are affected once we give our allegiance to Jesus.

In our lead-off episode in the gospel series project, Daniel and I attempt to tackle the question, "What is the Gospel?" Today, we start with defining the word in Greek, seeing how it was used in that culture and how the Biblical writers used it for their own purposes. We begin reacting to a sermon by Skye Jethani.

Daniel and I have been working on a project we want to invite you to be a part of! Often people say things like, "We are a gospel-centered church" or "I just preach the gospel." But what do they mean by the word "gospel"? And does their use of it reflect what the writers of the stories of Jesus meant when they talked of the 'gospel of Jesus Christ? These are just some of the questions we will atte...

Rounding out our episodes on Typology, Daniel and I look to the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree in Mark 11, seeing how Mark and Jesus use the image of the fig tree in the New Testament in conversation with its appearance in the Prophetic Imagination.

#bible #timmackie #typology Daniel and I continue discussing typology in the Bible, especially how the narratives are framed in the scriptures, as we investigate the book of Job and Tim Mackie's sermon on the subject. Tim's sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdQfdGlCffE

#dune #prophecy In this episode, Daniel and I start a short series on typology. To start, we discuss some of the problems we had with our template for prophecy growing up. This episode is meant to lay the table for a better way to view how the Old Testament is used in the New.

Buckle up because this one is weird! Daniel and I continue the theme of what it means for the Bible to communicate in a particular time and place. Moving away from the Old Testament, we go to the New, seeing what awaits us there. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul has a section many have scratched their head over for years. He is concerned with order in worship, authority, and marriage structure and oddly...

#johnhwalton #genesis Continuing our discussion on Genesis, Daniel and I move on with Walton's lecture to discuss the difference between the story of a "house" and a "home." We bring up the power of these narratives, and I bring up "Dune" too much. Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJqB-DdRFn0&t=1567s Walton's Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR82a-iueWw&t=970s

As Daniel and I continue to look at how place and time affect communication, we look back to the first few pages of the Bible, examining how the ancient near east context informs what is being communicated in the creation story. With the help of John H. Walton, we hope to provide a richer interpretation. Walton's talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR82a-iueWw&t=4804s

#bible #canon #timmackie As Daniel and I continue to react to Tim Mackie's "The Making of the Bible" Lecture, we discuss the apostolic letters and why they are included in the Biblical Canon. The beginning of the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZMrrINunIg&t=409s Tim Mackie's Lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j919UrCLbXI&t=112s

#bible #newtestment Daniel and I continue our walk through Tim Mackie's lecture on the making of the Bible. This week we will discuss the New Testament canonization, taking on the gospels in this episode. Tim Mackie's talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j919UrCLbXI&t=112s

#timmackie #biblicalcanon #michaelheiser In the last episode, Daniel and I reacted to the first half of a talk by Tim Mackie on the canonization of the Bible, focusing on the canonization of the Old Testament. In this half of the conversation, Daniel and I look at the textual strains of the Bible, how they are different, and why translators pick the words they do when putting the Hebrew canon into...

As we continue to explore what it means for us to read the Bible well, an excellent question to ask is, "How did we get the Bible?" We had to break up the conversation, but in this episode, Daniel and I react to Tim Mackies Lecture, "The Making of the Bible." Focusing on the Old Testament canon here, we uncover some important facts that meld well with how we have been talking about inspiration. Ti...

Reacting to a video by Ben S, Daniel and I discuss how purely relying on the Holy Spirit to help the Christian interpret the Bible is not only lazy but goes against what the Scriptures actually say. Ben S Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a97pwxWaCzc

Daniel and I have another, more pointed, conversation around inspiration and inerrancy. We discuss, again, the major views taken on inspiration, what can be problematic with some of them, and how these views get expressed when talking about inerrancy. While having this discussion, we use a video from Michael Heiser, investigating what it means to say the Bible is a "channel book." https://www.yout...
