32 | Understanding The Bible I

Please rate, review & subscribe to The Desire Line Podcast--it really helps us to get the word out! Do you relate to the Bible primarily as an orientation to right and wrong or as the story of God pursuing man? Are you willing to wrestle with it? For the first episode in our arc on Understanding The Bible, we dive straight into the history of the text itself. If you are a lover of some good ol' historical context, this episode is for you! We discuss Jesus's own relationship with scripture; how our understanding and idea of what the bible is has shaped our spiritual development; God's willingness to get on the level of his people and help those to seek to understand; and a musical rendition of all 66 books in the Christian Bible? Stay tuned.  Matthew 3:17: And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." Matthew 4:1-11 Psalm 91 Deuteronomy 6-8 Mason: a builder and worker in stone. Apocrypha are works, usually written, of unknown authorship or of doubtful origin. Biblical Apocrapha is a set of texts included in the Latin Vulgate and Septuagint but not in the Hebrew Bible. While Catholic tradition considers some of these texts to be deutercanononical , Protestants consider them apocryphal. Thus, Protestant bibles do not include the books within the Old Testament but have often included them in a separate section.

Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. Matthew 13:58:  And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith Matthew 22:32: I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living. ________________________________________________________ Ways to connect to Brandon & Susette: Join our Facebook Group:  Desire Line Podcast Community Twitter: @mydesireline @susettemtherapy @brandonalancook Instagram: @brandonalancook @susette.magana.therapy
