Genesis Marks the Spot Carey Griffel

The more I study the Bible, the more I come back to the same question:  Who is God, and what does the Bible tell us about Him?  Looking at the flood narrative from the common paradigm and flipping it on its head to include a more expansive view of our relationship to God and what he wants for us.  Troy Yurchak brings us a delightful symmetry of the flood narrative in contrast to the documentary hypothesis (the idea that the flood story is a combination of two sources).**Website: www.genesismarksthespot.com My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot The Literary Structure of the Old Testament: https://tinyurl.com/Literary-Structure-of-the-OT  Genesis Marks the Spot on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/genesismarksthespot Genesis Marks the Spot on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/genesismarksthespot/ Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/ Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan

How does the structure of Genesis 1 work as a chiasm, and what does that mean for our view of liturgy--what it is and why we do it?  Troy Yurchak joins me for this great discussion that unexpectedly combines literary design with liturgy and discipleship!

It's time to discuss two important things: the flood, and note-taking.  Broad points about the flood are brought up, and then we do a deep dive into my method of note-taking and why you should do it, too.

Is Genesis 1 poetry?  A look at biblical poetry and elements of metaphor, ending on the question of what it means to be "blotted out."

Apologies to Bishop Ussher, but it is impossible to calculate the age of the earth using biblical statistics.  I don't care if you are a young earth creationist or an old earth creationist or somewhere in between or nowhere else, but the Bible's genealogies cannot be used in scientific calculations.  Hitting also a bit of information of the history of young earth creationism and its connections to Seventh-Day Adventism and scientific fraud.

Death before the fall?  It began when Eve decided and they both ate...or did it?  It might not be that simple.  Plus, in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal, but what about animals?  If they weren't immortal, then how could creation have been a paradise?  Why do we suddenly get "permission" to eat meat after the flood of all places?  (Hint: it's not new.)  Debunking common "certainties" and giving a look at Joshua John Van Ee's disseration, Death in the Garden:  An Examinatin of Original Immortality, Vegetarianism, and Animal Peace in the Hebrew Bible and Mesopotamia.  We may not be able to find out who is right, but we can have fun thinking about it.
