Listen "Who Told You That? The Bible is Boring, Bigoted, & Backwards"
Episode Synopsis
Bible version: NET (New English Translation)
Like the ancient texts in The Mummy, God’s “backwards” truths become the key to real victory and transformation.
1. The Bible is not Boring — It’s a Living Adventure
The Bible is alive and powerful: “For the word of God is living and active…”
(Hebrews 4:12).
Features real stories of adventure and faith, such as David vs. Goliath, Paul’s
shipwreck, and the Resurrection.
These are eyewitness accounts, not legends (2 Peter 1:16).
2. The Bible is not Bigoted — It’s Radically Inclusive
God’s love is extended to every nation and people group.
Women are empowered: Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla.
Outsiders are welcomed: The Ethiopian eunuch receives the gospel (Acts 8).
Scriptures: Galatians 3:28, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9 highlight inclusivity.
3. The Bible is not Backwards — But it is Backwards to the World
God’s wisdom often challenges worldly values.
True success means honoring God above all else, as modeled by Jesus.
“Backwards” actions: forgiving enemies, generosity, sacrificial living.
Scriptures: Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 1:18 demonstrate the power and
purpose in “backwards” living.
Psalm 1:1–3: Those who delight in God’s law are deeply rooted and blessed.
