Better Than Fiction Bible Podcast

(Genesis 3:22-24) The Sun sets on the age of Eden and our time ends with Genesis Chapter 3. All seems lost for Mankind. The Clock has struck 12, the carriage has turned back into a pumpkin, but the glass slipper still exists.

(Genesis 3:17-21) Man and Woman get more knowledge than what they bargained form. Dire consequences are laid out, and the form of Humanity's victory is revealed.

Genesis 3:14-15) The Protoevangelium, The First Gospel. Great news for humanity, a nightmare for the serpent. God spoils the entire story and tells us exactly how all this will end; An ironic twist and an unlikely hero.

(Genesis 3:14-21) Now we are at the part where God gets really angry and puts man in the doghouse...right? Maybe there is a little more to this story than that.

(Genesis 3:9-13) The jig is up. God starts asking questions, Man and Woman point the finger, and the Serpent's plot is exposed.

(Genesis 3:6-8) Having pursued "good" apart from God, Adam and Eve learn that the knowledge they sought comes with a catch. Listen to the words long written down, when the Man comes around.

(Genesis 3:2-6) The Devil cannot be summed up in just one episode; today discover a little more about the Devil. Also, the “lie” he uses to trick Eve may not be what you may have thought previously.

(Genesis 2:15-25) Here is the first “not good” in the Bible. The creation of woman reveals how she is to be understood as an individual and as the completion of man. A woman is not property, a trophy, or an inferior; she is man’s co-equal.

(Genesis 2:16-17) Apparently God is in the tree planting business. The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were both created to be a blessing, and contrary what most might think He has a never planted a bad tree. Trees—along with, mountain and gardens (so far!)—will be a reoccurring theme in the Bible.
