I know Ecclesiastes is dark in topic, but it was the first book I read that I actually understood. I could relate to somone who had been burnt out and disallusioned. I really charished that and it inspired me to give the bible another go. Thank you for an amazing pod cast.
the ecclesiastes is my favorite book in the entire bible. it talking about the perishable of the physical and impersishableness of God was one of the many things that brought me closer to Christ
Same. First book I read in the Bible. I was like...whaaaat....they put this in the Bible??...maybe I should read this Bible. Then John introduced me to Jesus. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Bible Project, for making the Bible more digestible for people who struggle to sit down and read, rather than condemning us. Your hard work, love, and patience with your works is something I believe Jesus would commend.
I can see how others see Ecclesiastes is dark and a bit of a bummer. But I definitely do not see this beautifully wise and so full of truth. I see it like almost the secret to life and the instruction manual to how to navigate through this evil world. I’m so grateful for the author just be brutally honest and reminding us that it’s Gods plan and He’s unsearchable and that we have no control. That we can do things that could possibly help out our outcomes or it may not. So accept what comes our way. Do grieve 11:5411:58 and process turmoil or grief comes our way but to get over it and just roll with it. But that we must fear the Lord, be obedient, love and forgive all and they will be held accountable for our choices.
Brilliant example of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job in the end you gave me a visual of three people sitting at a table conversing with different outlooks on life. Ty
You guys began talking about the Babylonians using advanced calculus it: immediately made me think about Ecclesiasticus text telling you that there is NOTHING NEW under the sun . Everything this will be done, already has been done. This podcast definitely allowed me to look at these book a little differently.
Tim Mackie was a big influence on my Scriptural knowledge for years with his pofound knowledge of Hebrew literature, and its been a real letdown to watch him circle closer and closer to teaching that homosexuality is not a sin and that hell does not exist. I grow up in the same era and part of the world he did in the PNW in the 80s and listening to him was like listening to a super spiritual older brother I never had. Now he's like listening to a recording of a dead loved one. I want to weep.
Try to listen to his words more carefully instead of looking at his works through the eyes of a jobless doctrinal watchdog. I've listened to a lot of Tim Mackie's material, and he made it clear in his words that hell actually exists, but it's not what we usually think of. Concerning the homosexuality clip, he never says it isn't a sin, he simply speaks about accepting the people. The same way you as a christian should accept a murderer like Paul the apostle. Not accepting their sins, but the people. As far as God's word is concerned, Tim is doing far more than you could ever do if you continue with this mindset. He's not condemning the world but he's expressing the ministry of reconciliation. I watched the whole sermons, and judging his entire ministry based on 2 different views that he used careful language for, is nothing but dishonest. Peter had a doctrinal issue, but instead of Paul shutting down his entire ministry and looking at him like a "dead loved one", he corrected him. Just get busy doing God's work and you won't be out here shouting against a man of God based on two views that were carefully crafted and easily misunderstood.
Relating to Tim's refference about the recently found calculus at the ruins at Babylon, It's interesting to note that the magi also were from the East mentioned in Matthew 2:1 at the time of Christ’s birth may have come from the nation's of Media, Persia, Assyria and Babylonia, countries now encompassed by Iran and Iraq. The magi were well learned individuals, as they were referred to as wise men, they knew astrology, astronomy and math by which they figured out the route of the Christ's birth.
My approach to the Bible is that when it feels good it’s right and when it feels bad there is something I do not understand. I never want to think God is wrong even when I feel hurt by him.
One thing to consider is that Job’s tragedies and experience was not the direct result of cause and effect as described in proverbs. It was rather the result of higher intervention; the contest between the LORD and Satan. Generally speaking, the wicked do go to an early grave while the righteous live long prosperous lives, as stated by proverbs. The exception, I do believe, in some cases is the results of principal interventions. Just as Satan ruined Job, a righteous man, Satan can also exalt some of the wicked.
Hi guys masive fan of your work - I just whant to thank you guys for all the video's from the wisdom series it helped me alot to understand those books. Keep up the good work - 🙏
This is very interesting. I have been following your Bible Project youversion plan and am repeating it this year with four friends and family members following along together. I have been working on a spreadsheet Bible Timeline. About 10 years ago I researched the Bible for clues to where to place the Book of Job in the timeline. I am close and fairly confident that it would be worth looking into, especially for someone more educated than myself. I hope you might be interested checking out my theory.
This video is in God's perfect timing to address questions and comments in a recent Bible study. But I have a question for Jon and Tim. Did Job lose his wife? I thought she was the one that told him to curse God and die but still remained with him. He lost children, workers, livestock and livelihood. Please explain or show me verses addressing loss of his wife. And thank you!
Wisdom has fallen into our hearts and out onto our wrists, healing the sick and forgiving our sins. But with this day and age of new, we invariably always dismiss the Good News, which is in our midsts. All I guess I can say is to Repent haha
8:44 My thoughts are somewhat different…. I see the Wisdom literature of Ancient Israel showing us clearly that human nature has never changed. Our technology may have changed significantly, but we, who use it, are essentially the same as they were. Our advice to our children is unchanged in essence.
I wish you guys would continue doing the 5 or 10 minute episodes that you used to do. I am sure you would have a lot more impact that way. The much longer length of the ones you have been doing recently are going to put a lot of people off, and the very short ones are too short to say much.
Atheist always say when somebody says "praise God"...which God are you talking about out of the thousands different cultures believe. How about the only true God who continuously for thousands of years talked to his people. The difference is other cultures have a story about their god from a moment in time. The God of Israel, God incarnate as a man through Yeshua, talked to his people for thousands of years. Its not just a one off story like all the other gods.
For me to live is Christ but to die is gain. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. Philippians 1:21-26 KJV Moses, was the first example of this. He perished outside the promise land but was delivered into the kingdom, the ultimate promise land. Gods justice” in the highest expression Moses completed his mission and was granted the kingdom not death. I had a revelation I had to share. Now all the prophets deaths make more sense to me. Furthermore, all prophets starting from Moses points us to Jesus. Our savior his suffering and blood would atone for our sins. Jesus bringing the kingdom back unto us was the conclusion of all the prophets stories. Amen. 🙏🏻To all of the content on Bible project. Thank you. Jesus is Lord.✝️ For me to live is Christ but to die is gain.
What was the intention of the satan to entice Eve to eat the forbidden fruit? God has dominion of Eden garden through Adam while the satan has dominion outside Eden garden through his evil spirits. Corrupting Eve therefore could be seen as an attempt by the satan to also gain dominion in Eden garden. The lie is that Adam does not have total knowledge of everything and therefore will likely rebel. The boundaries of Eden garden is also in our mind or state of mind, so to speak. This is where wisdom helps humans. Metaphorically, Eden garden can be viewed as Adam and Eve in their full innocence and obedience to God. Unwilling to follow God’s guidance due to the constant influence of the evil spirit (e.g why should they fast), Adam and Eve are unable to maintain their physical appearance and start to age … leading eventually to death. Metaphorically, they are leaving ‘Eden garden’ - youth. [The science of aging is currently trying to lay its hand on this knowledge with billionaire wanting to live forever.] If the nation of Israel is the descendants of Adam and Eve, who are the rest of the world population? Are they children of fallen angels? The famous ones being the nephilim.
I really liked your program untill you said something in the order that the lgbt was a way of life in this world and it's ok well it's not ! I thought you were Bible based and on some things you are But you don't really believe do you ? Read your Bible it tells you what is going on in this world is a BIG NO No you take ratings over Christ, it's called compromising your faith.
@@LearndingLife which love r u talking about, agape or sexual it makes a difference to how one answers the question. We r commanded to love everyone even our enemies with the love of Christ agape love. Sexual love is defined in scripture as one man & one woman in one union with each other for the purpose of pro creation or companionship. God hates sin but He still loves the sinner & He will even after judgment day when He separates the sheep (those who trusted in Christ's redemption on the cross to make us righteous in God's eyes & His resurrection from the death that sin causes) from the goats (those who don't want to be a part of Christ's gift of grace through His sacrificial offspring). There is no penalty for love but there is for continual knowing of disobedience to God's love & forgiveness that He has offered through His Son Jeshua. God will not make anyone love Him, He will call them to repentance but it is the individual's choice to believe & obey or not!!!
As a STAR SEED THE CREW WHO IS PART OF SUCH A TASK HAS TO BE ADVANCED COMING TO A EMPTY PLANET STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH. Tell that wicked stuff to Jesus who was put on the XCRUX?

Studying Job, Ecclesiastes and Proverbs together is a very good and helpful experience!

This was so good!! I really enjoyed it and am excited to hear Lady Wisdom, Ecclesiastes and Job converse. 👍🏼❤

besides the excellent teaching, the illustrations are so varied and delightful
In all seriousness, the video for Ecclesiastes was jaw dropping with it's art.
