S4E11: Why there is organized religion, according to Exodus
Send us Fan Mail “Organized religion” seems to have a bad rep nowadays. It’s associated with authoritarian hierarchies, dogmatic beliefs and rigid rules. Many of us instead want to identify ourselves as simply “spiritual”; we want to be people connected with some greater reality, some deeper truths and higher ideals, to something Divine, but without the confines of organized religion. Fair enough. And interestingly enough, in the Bible, the first heroes of faith—Abraham, Isaac, and Jaco...

S4E10: Why we end up in the desert when God calls
Send us Fan Mail After the Israelites escape the Egyptian army that pursued them, they find themselves in the desert. In one sense, this was expected since geographically and physically, Egypt was surrounded by the desert. Yet, the narratives in Exodus, just as in Genesis, are archetypal stories—that is, they describe a kind of templates or pattern of what happens whenever a people follow the call of God. Or to put it differently, that's how Reality works. Such people, at one point or another...

S4E9: The Sea that God parts in Exodus is no mere "water"
Send us Fan Mail We’ve now returned to start the second half of Season Four. We closed the first half at a key point, exploring the meaning of the blood of the Lamb in the final plague of Exodus, and we'll now begin with the parting of the Sea. Both, it turns out, are closely connected with the ideas weaved through the accounts of Creation and the Flood in Genesis, which in turn points to that of the salvation in Christ. And the key to understanding that is found in what the Sea and its water...

S4Extra3: Book is finished! About its place in this series, and its preface
Send us Fan Mail The manuscript of the book is complete and is now in the hands of the editors. It will still be around the end of this year at the earliest for it to be published, but my work--the writing part--is more or less finished! Thank you for your continued support! This series will return to the main episodes in June, covering the second half of Season Four, "God awaits you in the desert." But here, I wanted to first discuss something about the book, now that it's comple...

S4Extra2: Bathroom thoughts on science, belief, Galileo, prophecy, etc.
Send us Fan Mail I'll be working on the book until end of April, and so in the meanwhile, more extra episodes! This episode, I discuss material that did not quite make it into a main episode. One is from Season Three on science and belief-corrections in regard to God. One is from Season Four on Galileo's example of science vs religion. And one that actually doesn't fit anywhere yet. I call this the "bathroom thoughts," because of how many of these ideas start from idle thoughts in...

S4Extra1: "God is no more believable than UFOs?" - Publication Offer
Send us Fan Mail We’re back! Sort of. First, this bonus episode is to announce an update and news. The first season of this series is being re-adapted(?) / rewritten as a book and will be published next year. If everything goes as scheduled. So, what with the title of this episode? “A World where God seems no more believable than UFOs” is the catch-phrase of the book, or rather its starting point. It asks—as this series as asked—what “God” really means, when for many of us, God seems “...

S4E8: Why would a Lamb's blood save you? Plague and the Lamb II
Send us Fan Mail What do we need to make a better world? In a world filled with the news of wars, injustices, human-made catastrophes, what do we need? In a world where our future seem so uncertain and bleak at times, even with all of the marvels we accomplished and progress we’ve made, what will lead us to tomorrow? And the Christian Bible poses an answer in the form of a symbolic act; long ago, God’s judgment came upon a land, upon every family and every living thing there, to strike down i...

S4E7: Why God strikes every firstborn of Egypt - Plague and the Lamb 1
Send us Fan Mail We’re back again for another episode! This is a kind of milestone for the series, as we cover a key narrative in Exodus—that of the final tenth plague, which connects to the Gospel account of Jesus Christ. And the question we must first wrestle with is: why does God strike down every firstborn in Egypt? The plague horrifies with us with the image of dead children, though according to Exodus, it’d have struck down both young and old, and even the animals—but that of course onl...
