484-Inevitable Terrible Traps: part 2

“Does it really make a difference if the Bible isn’t interpreted correctly? When a passage doesn’t make sense, or seems impossible, how many people just move on from it as if it doesn’t really matter?

In today’s podcast and post I will offer an interpretation that I hope will help you, and that will free you from having this verse misused against you. 

Join me now as class is in session, and we follow Christ into one of his most controversial conversations, and do our best to hear his teaching again…for the very first time.

392-7-Rethinking Judgment

“Do you believe there will be a great judgment day where God will judge everyone?” If so, what do you believe is going to happen? 

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series with a closer look at Judgment Day. The bible does talk about this event, but when we look closer, we discover nuances that are often missed which are vital to the discussion.

Join me now as we re-consider Judgment Day from the perspective of restoration rather than retribution.

391-6-The Dilemma Resolved…Differently

“What happens when institutional power insists we believe something in only one particular way? 

In today’s podcast and post I provide a biblical roadmap for an alternative orthodoxy. Class is in session and this course in Hell opens up a new way of seeing what happens to so-called bad people. What happens in the afterlife if instead of twisting the bible, we straighten it out?

Join me now as we see beyond the threats of Hell by religion, and examine what the bible has been saying all along.

390-5-All Consuming or Eternal Fire

“Will some people be sent to burn in the fire of Hell when they die? Did religion get that right or does the bible have something different to say?

In today’s podcast and post, I continue to give you Hell in our series where we explore what the bible really says about the subject.. 

Join me now as I prove that the Lake of Fire and the All-Consuming Fire may not be not different destinations, but different reactions to the same experience of meeting God.

389: 4- Hell as Other and Away

“Have you noticed those who are most certain that “other” people are going to Hell, are the religious types who seek to get away from everybody else?”

In today’s podcast and post, I add more layers to this biblical exploration of Hell and reveal that Hell is not really about punishing the naughty.

Join me now as I show you the two biggest examples that a person need not die in order to live in Hell.

387- Part 2-The Hell we Don’t See

“Who gave you your definition of Hell? If it came from Institutional Religion, then it’s likely very different than the teachings of the bible.

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series as I reveal how Church history, fiction and Hollywood have created a version of Hell that is irresistible to economies of religion. By displacing Hell solely to another dimension after we die, Hell’s captivity keeps expanding through invisibility.

Join me now as I reveal the Hell Jesus taught about, and how that helps us see how our modern assumptions about Hell, are the most common forms of captivity in it.

385-Part 1- Obsessed with Hell

“Are you or someone you know obsessed with Hell? The truth might surprise you.

In today’s podcast and post I introduce a new series on Hell which will extract it from religious and cultural frameworks and will allow us to see just how obsessed with Hell we actually are.

Join me now as we see beyond the mythological and follow the stream back to the headwaters of a universal influence of which we just won’t let go.

365-The Dragnet

“Do you believe a great day of judgement awaits everyone?

For centuries, religion has taught us that heaven is on the other side of our death and a great day of judgement where good and bad people are sent to their eternal destinations. Join me now as we take a scholarly look at the parable of the Dragnet, where the text reveals an alternative way this great separation can look.

Join me now as this often intimidating and threatening parable suddenly offers the good news and hope for the world which religion is unwilling to proclaim.

88- Justice: It’s NOT what you think.

 

Based on all the feedback and questions I decided to add one more addition to this series. It will be extremely difficult to expand or alter one’s view of Heaven and Hell unless we get to the bottom of JUSTICE. In this post and podcast, I will prove that justice is not based in retribution as we are all taught, but in restoration. The overarching goal of God is not to get even with us, but to make everyone of us whole. For those who can’t get over injustice, I share a story that destroys retribution and I offer a link with 132 verses from scripture just to prove how predominant this alternative sense of justice really is.

85-Lake of Fire

 

Is the Lake of Fire a future destination for all evil people to be tormented forever? Is it possible that the Lake of Fire is a metaphor used to illuminate a reality bigger than it’s imagery? In this podcast and post I will weave together a number of vital components in scripture to show that the Lake of Fire is the place for all pseudonyms and is the crucible through which our true self emerges.
