Mon, 10 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Can we still debate the canon of Scripture? - The Whole Church Podcast

Wed, 08 May 2024 07:00:00 -0400

As a follow up to our last talk on the canon of Scripture and to his take on the Ladder of Jacob, Christian Ashley (of the Let Nothing Move You podcast) joins Joshua Noel and TJ Blackwell to discuss their varying views on the canon of Scripture and why it matters! We discuss some of our differing opinions from one another, why it matters, how we know whether a bok should or should not be considered Scripture, and much more!

Which books make up the canon of Scripture? When was the first canon of Scripture? What is the canon of Hebrew Scriptures? What does St. Jerome say about Scripture? Why did Martin Luther remove the seven books from the Bible? Who closed the canon of Scripture? Why was the Septuagint removed from the Bible? What does Jacob's Ladder symbolize? What is the plot of Jacob's ladder explained?

In this episode, we will:

Debate the canon of the Bible
Discuss what authority the books of the Bible have
Examine the role Tradition plays in canonizing Scripture
Learn to challenge everything

Creation Theories - My Seminary Life

Sat, 27 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0500

There's more than one way to interpret Genesis 1. As Apologetics 201 continues, I am joined by Joe Dea of Happy Dea Ministries and author Christian Ashley to discuss the six major creation views. In this episode, we breakdown Six Day Creationism, Evolution, Gap Theory, Day/Age Theory, and others in an attempt to help people understand that there is not just one path for Christians to follow when it comes to understanding Genesis 1. Is it possible that Genesis 1 is not concerned with giving us an exact timeline and process for how creation took place? You'll also hear how Christian dislikes the idea of a young earth created with age, Joe's dislike of the "plain reading of Scripture", and how Brandon smells like someone who would go to a Mega Church.

I'm joined this week by Joshua Noel of The Whole Church Podcast (https://the-whole-church-podcast.captivate.fm/) to discuss Genesis 35 & 36.

Ladder of Jacob (Pseudepigrapha)

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Hey, guys. Had some things come up to where the planned episode on Genesis 32 wasn't able to be recorded in time, so I called an audible and decided to cover something for fun. The Ladder of Jacob is a pseudepigraphic work (falsely attributed scripture) from the 100s-200s AD. It is not scripture, but still has some insights we can glean from it.

Who wrote the Ladder of Jacob? Why is it non-canonical? Is there anything we can learn from it? Is it Gnostic? How does it combine Genesis 28 and 32? How does it show a false take on angels? Who is Sariel? What does as above, so below mean?

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Why did Rebekah want Jacob to lie to Isaac? Was Isaac wrong to favor Esau? If the birthright was already Jacob's, why was it likewise wrong for him to steal the blessing too? Is there a reason craftiness isn't always the best idea? What was the purpose of the blessing? How did Isaac's blindness come into play for this interaction? What blessing did Esau receive? Why did Jacob have to flee his home to Laban's house? How did Esau learn the wrong lesson from Isaac and Rebekah wanting Jacob to marry better than him? How was God faithful to Jacob in the midst of this flight?

Genesis 25 & 26

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Why would God allow Rebekah to be barren for a time? What was Isaac's prayer and how did it show his faith to God? What is the significance of Esau and Jacob's births? Is it okay for parents to have favorite children? Why was Esau in the wrong for giving up his birthright and why was Jacob wrong for demanding it? How was Isaac like his father?

Genesis 24

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0400

So a quick PSA here. I recorded this episode while I was not in the best state of mind and also spend a while explaining what I'm going through and how it's affecting my performance. If this is something that interests you, then listen as usual. If you want to skip ahead to the Bible reading, then please go to 21:30.

Who was the servant Abraham sent to find Isaac a wife? How did Sarah's death effect his decision-making? Why would Abraham not allow Isaac to marry a Canaanite? When should we pray for immediate answers to prayer? How did Rebekah show she was worthy of the servant's search? Why was it important for Rebekah to leave her family behind? Who is Laban and how does he come into play here? How was Isaac like his father?

Genesis 22 & 23

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Why would God order Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? How is God not like the gods of the Canaanites? Would Abraham really have done it if God hadn't intervened? Why would God require sacrifices anyways? What is the significance of the Angel of the Lord being there? Is the Angel of the Lord Jesus? If so, what does this mean? How does this foreshadow Jesus' sacrifice on the cross? How did Sarah die and what is her legacy? Why is it okay to mourn and express grief and how much is too much? Why were there Hittites in Canaan? How does buying land help Abraham and his descendants out?

Genesis 20 & 21

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Why did Abraham think he could get away with a sin he already committed? Why is a half-truth still a lie? How can Abraham be called a prophet? How was Abimelech innocent? What was the significance of Isaac's birth? Should Abraham have sent Hagar and Ishmael away like Sarah wanted? How can Philistines be in Canaan hundreds of years before recorded history has them there? Does this mean scripture isn't infallible?

Genesis 19

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 06:00:00 -0400

Why was Lot waiting for travelers at the gate? How was Christian wrong to call Lot not righteous? When should we admit our mistakes and bad judgment calls? Was Jesus involved in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Why did Sodom and Gomorrah have to be destroyed? Were they destroyed because of homosexuality? What were Sodom's sins? Why was hospitality so important in the ancient world? Why was Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt? How should we handle the incest between Lot and his daughters?

Sat, 29 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0500

Coming to you live from the Every Tribe, Denomination, and Tongues Convention, it's My Seminary Life! In this special live recording episode of the show, I am joined by a whole host of people to discuss things that are often assumed about denominations from people outside of that particular group.

Is a church that is LGBTQ+ affirming compromised? Do you have to vote Republican to be a Christian? Plus, I try Cheerwine for the first time live on air! This is a jam packed episode filled with a lot of laughs and insight into different Christian theologies.

Should Omnipotence die?

Sun, 07 May 2023 12:00:00 -0400

Welcome to a very special bonus episode where the "Let Nothing Move You" podcast and "The Whole Church Podcast" collaborate in an interview with Dr Thomas J Oord to discuss his newest book, "The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence"! Hosts Joshua Noel and Christian Ashley both present their different views on the power of God and the inerrancy of Scripture and discuss with Dr Oord, his view that we should completely do away with both of these words. Can God create a rock that He can't lift? Can God tell a lie? Does the Bible say that God has all power? Does the Bible say that God created alone? Can God really be loving if He has the power to stop sexual assaults from happening and chooses not to? If God is not all powerful, is He a wimp? Can God be God if He is restrained in His power and exists in our own timeline? And how can we have unity in the Church with such fundamental disagreements? We discuss it all in this one!
