    Why is the Bible so long and complicated?

    We start a new series for 2026 addressing problems people have with the Bible, for newcomers, the curious, and those whose faith has been challenged. Dan and guest Jon Davies begin by asking why God’s message comes in the form of such a long, and sometimes complicated collection of texts. They talk through examples from poetry, law, prophecy, including Revelation’s vivid imagery and suggest that all this complexity has deliberate benefits. It provokes reflection in the context of real life, encourages community reading while avoiding coercion or legalism. While the Bible is complex, they also stress that the core gospel about Jesus is actually really simple.

    Which books should be in the Bible - and why?

    In this episode Dan and returning guest Jon Davies explore the concept of the 'canon of scripture,' the historical debates surrounding the inclusion of various books in the Old and New Testaments, and the influence of early church councils. By highlighting that the gospel message was preached even before the New Testament was written, they emphasize the extensive agreement on core scriptures throughout history. They also discuss how Jesus and His followers viewed these authoritative texts, offering helpful perspectives for anyone grappling with this foundational topic.

    Join Dan Weatherall and Paul Davenport as they continue their mini series on the Old Testament prophets by starting to look at the Book of Isaiah.

    In this episode of the Bible Feed Podcast, host Dan Weatherall talks with Sam Mansfield from Australia, delving into the Nicene Creed's origins, historical context, and importance. They explore early Christian doctrinal developments, the controversies leading up to and following the Council of Nicea in 325 AD, and the eventual establishment of the Trinitarian doctrine by the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD. Through a series of quotes from Christadelphian writings from the 19th and early 20th century, the discussion highlights the doctrinal shifts and theological debates that shaped early Christianity, and reflects on the necessity of adhering to Bible based creeds for contemporary Christians.

    "In my Father's house are many mansions"

    Bible Feed podcast hosts Paul and Dan return after a hiatus to provide an in-depth exploration of John 14:2, a verse often cited for comfort during funerals. The episode discusses how the verse 'In my Father's house are many mansions' has been traditionally interpreted and its possible deeper meanings. They connect this with Jewish concepts of the temple and heaven, showing that Jesus's words about 'going away to prepare places' refer to his impending death and resurrection, which then allows his followers to dwell in the presence of God. By examining both the textual and cultural context, they reveal a profoundly comforting understanding of how Jesus enables a renewed, spiritually rich life for his followers, with a living relationship with God, rather than a literal journey to heaven.
