Send us a textFull title: "Questioning the Bible, and Risking Belief for Faith" Thank you for the loooong wait! We continue from the previous episode, which followed the trail of questions that begin when I thought to myself years ago, “Maybe there is no God.” In the previous episode, we followed how I wrestled with the questions about what we really mean by “God,” what it is to try to understand all of reality as a whole, and how this eventually led me to a book, written by those very people who came to relate to reality as a whole, as “Who,” that speaks with us.This book, the Christian Bible, is the focus of my next set of questions, which this episode explores. It will recount how I wrestled with the questions of what it means for the Bible to be “the Word of God,” and how anything we can put into words and write on a book can meaningfully be God speaking, and the central role of the figure of Jesus in it all. We will follow how I tried to think through some of the questions posed against the Bible from science and history, and where I eventually arrived afterward. And what I found was: to take a journey of faith, you have to risk your beliefs.         2:02       How we’ve gotten our question of God backwards            8:25       How can a book ever be God “speaking?”               13:33     How life of a person is God speaking               19:43     Question about morality of the Bible               25:20     Question about science and the Bible               32:32     Question about history and the Bible               40:15     Bible is a map; follow at your own risk              ----------------------------------------             Support the show ---------------------------------------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoyoumeangodspeaks/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Paul_Seungoh website: https://whatdoyoumeangodspeaks.buzzsprout.com/ * Please review or rate this series on Apple Podcast and other platforms! * You can financially support this show by clicking the "Support the Show" line above.
