Episode 058 - Is the Bible Viable? Part 4 | Harrison Smith

In this episode of Musings on Mysteries and the Mythical Matrix, we dive headfirst into the earliest pages of Genesis to confront the big questions—where myth, morality, and manuscript meet.📜 Was the talking snake literal or symbolic? Did people really live for 900 years? What even is morality in the biblical worldview?🧠 This episode explores:🔹 Pre-Babylon vs. Post-Babylon writing styles and narrative shifts🔹 The serpent in Eden: symbolic, literal, or both?🔹 Where does myth end and history begin?🔹 The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil—was it a trap, a test, or something else?🔹 The morality question: is it defined by law, nature, or divine presence?🔹 Lifespans in Genesis—literary device or real data? 🔹 Masoretic vs. Septuagint: what the differences reveal🔹 The Book of Enoch & Nephilim—fringe or foundational?🔹 Final thoughts that tie the threads together🌱 This is a theological and textual deep-dive for seekers who don’t shy away from difficult questions.🎙️ Tap in, share your theories, and wrestle through the roots of the biblical narrative with us.M Quad LinksSupport the show! https://buymeacoffee.com/m.quad.musingsDiscord server invite: https://discord.gg/yzfH3KEjY9You can find more content from our guests at:https://www.youtube.com/@thewayofchristministries6136 https://way-of-christ.org/
