Genesis Study 28

Please note – During the recording of this podcast we had some issues with an echo. The way we used our microphones to accommodate a third podcaster caused this echo. While editing I was able to fix some of the audio issues, but you may still hear some of this echo, especially at the beginning. This podcast episode was special to us, as we had a guest star, so we still wanted to share it with you. We apologize the audio may not be the best.

Genesis Study 19

Genesis 4:1-2

Ideas discussed in this podcast episode include: “Not About Us” continues this Bible study of Genesis, moving into chapter 4. The study starts with a recap of chapters 1-3 and a discussion on how they felt like the setup of the human story. Brad suggests that it is easier as a modern time person to read and experience the events going forward in Genesis, as we can relate to the issues being presented, as the people in chapter 4 are experiencing the world after the fall like us. These verses are primarily the story of Cain and Abel, but Scott starts with his thought on why Adam “knew” his wife and gives word studies and Hebrew word pictures for the words “know”, “conceived”, and “bore”. A theory is presented during the discussion of lineage that we do not know for sure if Cain was the first infant and thoughts are given about having a baby this soon after the fall. The study continues with word studies and Hebrew word pictures for the names “Cain” and “Abel” and that continues into a discussion on Cain and his role in everything. The study concludes with thoughts on what we can learn from Abel and the meaning of his name.

Brad gives his thoughts about creating an idol of God in our heads, even to this day. Continuing, Scott shares an awesome Hebrew word picture for the word “pregnancy” that points to Jesus and the new birth but also shows how the pain and death of Jesus was greatly increased after our sin.

Genesis Study 15

Genesis 3:11-15

Ideas discussed in this podcast episode include: “Not About Us” presents the next installment of this Genesis study podcast Bible adventure. Scott starts off by explaining why it is important when God asks a question and presents a discussion of the three questions God asks in these verses. Evidence is given to suggest examples of different types of people who deceive, those aware of what they are doing and those who believe they are truly doing God’s will. Scott shares a personal story of a person who had been misled by the advice of someone who gave false information about God but was believed to be credible due to his position. A conversation is had about really understanding God’s word and what information is given from other sources. The study continues with a discussion of what it means that the serpent will be defeated but first the serpent will strike His heel and Scott gives his idea that Satan can only attack God’s peace but never His joy or love. The fact that we do not have perfect peace yet and must work helps to show this point. The study wraps up with a discussion of the punishment given to the serpent and ideas of why God put enmity between man and the Satan. Before closing Brad shares his thoughts on why he self-convicts himself and how he uses that passion in prayer when talking with God.

Ideas discussed in this podcast episode include: “Not About Us” presents the next on-going Bible adventure Genesis study podcast. Scott shares that this podcast was recorded shortly after he recovered from Covid 19 and he wanted to give honor to God even during that trial. The study starts with a word study and a Hebrew word picture of the word “saw” and that starts a discussion on if this was the first time Eve was seeing the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Next word Scott shares his thoughts on is “delight” and he provides his intriguing Hebrew word pictures. The Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil is discussed, and a connection is made explaining the beauty of the tree. Scott makes a correlation from a previous podcast where Brad had given a word study for tree and Scott shares that the tree is desirable because of the Carpenter (Jesus). He then shares a Hebrew word picture that paints that picture. Brad and Scott investigate what it means to “see” and then moving on to discuss the poor attempt by Adam and Eve to make garments for themselves. Scott investigates the word “presence” which means face and Brad wonders if over his lifetime after the fall Adam started to forget what the face of God looked like.

Only after the temptation and fall did the serpent become evil in our minds. Continuing, Scott shares more ideas as to why Satan used the serpent and presents information that it might have been as a mockery of the Holy Spirit. Scott moves on to a word study of the word “serpent”. The next point Scott shares is that Adam was with Eve as she talked with the serpent and Scott wonders why Eve added to God’s word answering the serpent that they could not touch the fruit. Next, Scott ponders what it means when it says we will not die after eating the fruit. This one concludes with a conversation on Satan and how he is a master tactician but still loses to Jesus in the end.

Genesis Study 12

Genesis 2:23-25

Ideas discussed in this podcast episode include: Scott starts this Genesis Bible study podcast sharing that he is looking forward to this one because he kept finding more cool stuff as he continued to study these verses. The first topic discussed is the different Hebrew words for “man” and what they might mean when they are used. Scott follows with his Hebrew word pictures for “man” and “woman” and shows how God is reflected in both sexes. God presenting woman to Adam is discussed and followed with word studies on the word’s “bone” and “flesh”. More remarkable Hebrew word pictures are considered for these words that paint a glorious picture of God. The idea of Adam and God before the fall being completely open with each other, before we knew to be ashamed of nakedness, is examined. Scott presents evidence that shows how Jesus coming down from Heaven was even a greater sacrifice than at first thought and Brad is overwhelmed by the idea of what that means.
