I was needing something to meditate on while I go to sleep. Thank you for the upload and blessings to all of those who read this and to all that do not as well. God is good!
The evangelical community is shocking but I must say I love this whole project, the power in comprehending what this ancient culture is trying to present to us in their view and time. Cultural relativism is something as a human I’ve lacked in my daily life let alone reading texts written by and for ancient cultures. I pray for guidance, understanding, and the softest heart when approaching these words
“Subdue my backyard” is something that actually happened to my family and I. We had just moved into a new house and the previous owner, because she was grieving her husband, had let the backyard get out of control. The very center was a mass of weeds and flowers several feet high, like a chunk of wild prairie had taken over the yard. It took several months to subdue it and turn the backyard into a beautiful place to host family gatherings.
yes, just like our new nature in Christ; we work to control the weeds, the old nature before Christ; and it's continual work to keep it as a place that gives our soul rest and peace in the same as your backyard gives physical rest. Beautiful lessons the Spirit teaches us. Have a blessed day.
I have never seen the world in such a mess and people so troubled. I have my own ideas as to why, as in we have done it to ourselves. People need spirituality in their lives! God!
Some people do live in a place called “home”where they are to obey the predator in uniform and can’t “subdue “or death is usually the consequences ,some people do live in fear that the animal(people who abuse their authority)will jump out and devour them.
The image of God is not a quality like consciousness otherwise anybody who's unconscious doesn't have the image of God. The image of God is a role given to you by God. It is a function
Freewill makes us an image of God, literally being concrete in flesh and blood makes us an image of christ as the glorified christ was flesh and bones as he told Thomas. Image of God is carrying the name of God, his character of righteousness, peace, joy, life and light.
Three minutes of introductory music is waaaaay too long. Everyone I share this with, I'll have to forwarn so they don't get turned off and tune out. Otherwise, have always enjoyed your videos. Please make a correction with this one. Thank you.
I love the BILLY MADISON REFERENCE!! I do interviews with Evanglists, preachers, teachers, Worship leaders, and more. I do a lighting round of questions and often I ask what is your opinion of Adam Sandler? Hahah love that someone else used Adam Sandler and related it to Christianity and the Bible.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
I wish Jon was not on this podcast. I felt like he took away from the wisdom with his interruptions and comedic inferences. Really love hearing the main guy speak. It gives me fulfillment hearing the wisdom. Jon man, you seem so eager to speak its really inhibiting the flow.
It started off by identifying the biblical inferences to roles of historical kings and emperors as gods whose words brought creation into existence like god. Strangely it didn’t maintain that bit of revelation instead deviated into the infusion of divinity in humans and its empowerment as rulers but denying god likeness or attempting to be god, which is the essence of sin, as a result. There is much acquired knowledge but no revelation of what the “image” means which explained the disconnection and illogicality in the narrative. Finally it led to the devolvement of the kingdom of god to domesticated rulers in people. Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.
Verse actually says man was made in the shadow of God. Meaning we are a restriction of God. Without this shadow there would be no room for man. God withdrew His unveiled presence to create the vessel of our existence. Because of the closeness of of the word shadow and imagine kabbalistically we can use the idea of 'equivalency of form' to gain further understanding to the nature of this shadow. The reason this word was translated to "image" in the Septuagint was because of this understanding passed down in The Oral Torah which the 70 wanted to forefront this understanding when they were forced to hand a transition over....just like the first of the 10 Commandments where God just state's His sovereign title and say's nothing else...the ”have no other god's..." is just be understood in that decoloration and was passed down through The Oral Torah.
I agree with your characterization of subduing, I would however take that a step further in saying that part of what initially made the earth "tohu wabohu" is that evil elohim such as the satan existed upon it, and through mankind's existence "the visible image of the invisible God..." (Col. 1:15) would come and SUBDUE the evil elohim "bind the strong man" and "plunder his goods" (Matt 12:29) by His death and resurrection. Thus Christ the ultimate Human, God in a Bod would subdue the earth and conquer Satan's territory which is the earth itself, and the human race in slavery to sin and death, and first He has subdued us by freeing us from that slavery by His death and resurrection, but He is also going to come and completely finish the subduing of the earth. Also in Genesis 2 it doesn't appear at all in either the Hebrew or the English that animals were made after humans, it looks as though God already recognizes Adam's need, so He has Adam NAME the animals to awaken ADAM'S recognition of his own need, and in that he sees that he does not have a companion of his own. I would have to disagree with your interpretation of God's breath in Genesis 2 as being related to our ability to reason and our higher intellectual abilities. If you read that point in context, it says that only after we had received the breath of God were we "living souls." To LIVE in John 17, Jesus says is to KNOW the One true God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. God promises man that when he eats of the fruit, He will "surely die" so it seems that the BREATH of God is His own Holy Spirit which He gave to us to live and function and be in co-dependent relationship and even PARTNERSHIP with God. However when we ATE the fruit, we REJECTED God's diving life, and became DEAD to God, and fell into slavery to sin and death. I would say that there is no reason that only because of the surrounding context of subduing and being fruitful and multiplying, the image of God cannot ALSO refer to our reasoning and intelligence.
Also, the ULTIMATE Holy Icon and graven Image of God that we walk past with reverence is of course God's graven Image Himself, Jesus Christ, Who came to restore the Spirit of God within us, by fulfilling the old Covenant, and putting us under the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8).
The Image of God - God trusting His called-out community to reach out and change the world: Adam and Eve Abraham David and Solomon Israel The Disciples The Church Will we fulfill our design or will we return to the path of control and violence?
I agree. Biblical Prophecy tells us that we are living in the final days. It's not safe anywhere at all times. Evil is at its worst. Yet God is Almighty, and His people must stand up for righteousness.🙏🛡️
It's been like this. From what I can tell of stuff with earthquakes and blood moons and famines and wars, etc... These things have always happened, and so we must always be alert for Christ's coming... Not just looking for the sign and then trying to get our acts together, as if we were cramming for an exam.
Humans once knew the earth to be flat and they knew that as fact. They they found out the earth was round now they know that as facts. Point I’m making is that facts can change.
You have to really pay attention to the very beginning of Genesis, but JESUS, the only son of God walked and was right beside the Father before the creation of time.
40:13 there is no Holiness attached to those idols no matter how Big they look, .those have the idea or are a version for what they believed it was Holy, if You believe in the bible The egypcian statues are NOT Holy, Just God Is Holy.

I guess we shall see if this comes to pass. Deuteronomy 18:17-22 17 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘What they have said is right. 18 I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him. 19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf. 20 But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ 21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.

It’s like do you even listen to what this project is saying? It’s not about needing to repent because Jesus is coming to punish us, the whole book isn’t about punishment
@@ianfitzpatrick2230 don't listen to anything the false Bible project says, The best lies are wrapped in truth.... Go read your Bible, your gonna notice that this is garbage
Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol. Only one Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation.

@@Epok17 it's not written as a poem though, so to call history a poem, inclines me to call it jargon And after a little research, on this Bible project and Tim makie( pardon me if it's spelt wrong) Im doubling down, this place is a deadly rabbit hole to hell, with a Bible label on it.... According to the Bible project, there is no Heaven or hell and they are pushing a "universal Christ", social Justice, and the likes, and..... it's obvious they don't present the Bible as any truth, but "cultural stories" to identify with.......
@@canucktruckerbear just because a poem seems insignificant to you, doesn’t mean it’s not extremely spiritual and meaningful tho those who wrote the God inspired scriptures. And I have be listening to the Bible project for over 5 years a long several other biblical scholars who who can read Hebrew and Greek and their claims seem to be factually solid. It’s seems like their biggest flaw is that it doesn’t align neatly with western evangelical conservatism. Apparently a Godly understanding of justice and righteousness is woke these days. I don’t think God roasts people for being “woke”. Calling everything you don’t understand a like a hell hole is helping no one. Our faith isn’t a team sport.

@bibleproject... not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the podcast starts 3 minutes of music and then it starts in a middle of a thought. 2:56
Chapter 1 is the written plan of what He will do and chapter 2 is the plan in action. It's what He actually did.
