Oh Lordy, Lordy

This is gonna be the last YouTube video in the series on the general biblical storyline. I realize that I am leaving out the material at the end of the story referring to the Consummation, but that is because I havent read enough on the topic at this point to feel qualified to speak on it. Eventually I do hope to post on that, especially since there are some pretty nutty views on it, but not yet. In the mean time, enjoy this video that is a follow up and clarifier to last week’s. I do present some new information that is gonna be on the less popular side, so that may end up being the focus for our discussion. As always, let me know if there are any suggestions, questions, and/or discrepancies.

The New Testament In Five and Half Minutes

This video is my attempt at capturing the flavor of the New Testament in a short video. I will obviously have to skip over some things, but in many ways this will likely be a controversial video because there are probably many ideas as to what the main point of the New Testament is. Feel free to leave any comments, questions and discrepancies here and we can dialog further on the issue. Also, I go so quickly that I may not have articulated my point as well as if I had, say, 20 minutes. So if any clarification needs to be given, let me know.

The Old Testament in Six Minutes


This is a very brief overview of the rest of the Old Testament. My hope is to capture the big picture of the story, showing how the Jewish people were keyed in to the theme of God at work in the world to restore a relationship that is broken by man. Because I moved so quickly through a huge body of work, I am aware that certain ideas may not have been presented as clearly as they could. If there is anything I can clarify, revise, or restate, let me know.

Babel-On


So this is the long awaited last video on the Jewish prehistory passages in Genesis. The tower of Babel is a story that has received much critique and debate, so hopefully this will help along the discussion. Obviously, all the issues surrounding the text will not be fully addressed in my 5 minute video, so feel free to ask further questions.

      THE SEMINARIAN WAGER
    
Everyone has faith. Regardless of how our faith developed, we should be willing to critically analyze those beliefs. While analyzing the validity of our faith, we should also be willing to analyze the validity of our doubts and cultural preconditions. If we are willing to do this, we wager that over time, the roots of our faith will strengthen toward truth, and will not be uprooted during challenging times. This site aims to provide worthwhile discussion regarding a critical evaluation of both religious belief and modern doubts.
