Podcast

We wanted to take a moment to update you on the status of the podcast and our host, JP. Since the beginning of March, we’ve been revisiting foundational Bible study principles from earlier episodes. There hasn’t been a new episode released lately, and we appreciate...

In this episode JP discusses the three basic interpretations of who the “sons of God” refer to in Genesis 6. This passage is a good example that believers in Christ can disagree at times on interpretation of Scripture and serves as a reminder that we are to maintain a literal, historical, grammatical approach to Bible interpretation if we are to be consistent in our approach to Scripture.

In this episode of Walking the Old Paths, we continue the study of Genesis chapter 4 on the first civilization through the family of Cain. This civilization consisted of hardworking and industrious people, but they were also worldly and created a world focused on their own glory and honor. In Genesis chapter 5, we read about the ten antediluvian Patriarchs through which the promised “Seed” would eventually come, and JP points out many interesting people and facts from this genealogical chapter with a special focus on Enoch that you won’t want to miss!

In this episode we will look at the penalty of sin upon the serpent, the woman, and the man, the mercy of God upon man, and the end of the dispensation of innocence and the beginning of the dispensation of conscience. We will also see the Protoevangelium or the “first gospel” in Genesis 3:15 where God gives the first promise of a Redeemer that should come by the seed of the woman.
