GBC Podcast 010 | May God always bless you with failure

Failure hurts! Yet failure just might be the best thing that ever happens to you!

Today Jen talks about failure through the lens of her own spiritual failures, and how those ultimately not only shaped and grew her own faith, but also continue to glorify God.

Listen in for some thoughts about understanding all kinds of failure in your own life, and how to turn those instead into something that God considers beautiful.

GBC Podcast 009 | "..and there were also sodomites in the land.." A study of Deuteronomy 23:17; 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12, 22:46; 2 Kings 23:7 and beyond

Today we wrap up our study of the so-called "Clobber Passages", with a look at several verses that were all intentionally mistranslated – and which millions of people who count themselves as God-centered "Bible believers" still go by anyway.

Has God really said what a lot of religious people SAY He said, about Gay people? What does it say about the spiritual nature of people who change God's Word, or who knowingly continue to preach the man-made version of "God's" Word?

Our podcast today talks about:
  • What GOD said in Deuteronomy 23:17; 1 Kings 14:24, 15:12, and 22:46; and 2 Kings 23:7, versus what sinful human beings have SAID He said
  • The response we should have to scripture counterfeiting
  • Who is really a "sodomite"?
  • Why religious bigots continue to have so much power in this world – and when they won't have it any longer
  • What Jesus thinks of religious bigots
  • Who invented and who really participated in "fertility cult" religions – in ancient times and today
  • The fate of those who hate or hurt others in Jesus' Name
  • Why people who hate or hurt Gay people actually need more prayer than you do!
  • When we'll have God's peace
  • and more!

GBC Podcast 008 | "..shall not put on the weapon of a warrior.." A study of Deuteronomy 22:5 – and beyond

Those who have a different sexual orientation aren’t the only ones who suffer from mistranslations of the so-called “Clobber Passages”. Those with different gender orientations do, as well.

Our podcast today talks about:

  • The 4 general types of people who are affected by how Deuteronomy 22:5 is translated – and how most of them are actually straight.
  • Why even people who have what mainstream culture accepts as a “normal” gender orientation are still affected by mistranslations of Deuteronomy 22:5.
  • Why misunderstanding God’s rules against idolatry continue to mean misunderstanding what God put into the Mosaic Law.
  • Who Deuteronomy 22:5 applied to -- and why
  • What God actually said in Deuteronomy 22:5 – versus what human translators have said He said.
  • More ways human translators insert their own ideas, prejudices, and more into the Bible as if they came right from God.
  • Why taking God at His literal word, in His literal context, as given to the original hearers of Scripture, is the greatest way to prevent theological fraud – and God-rejection.
  • Why people of different gender orientations tend to fall into certain sins – and what the fix really is for that.
  • What God’s real word is for all differently gendered people, even today!
  • and more!

GBC Podcast 007 | "..As one lies with a woman.." A study of Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 – and beyond

A lot of people point to two verses in the book of Leviticus to "prove" that God condemns Gay people. But are they really about Gay people, or something else?

Our podcast today talks about:
  • Censorship of discussion about these verses -- and others -- by both the Roman and other churches
  • Why we fail ourselves -- and God -- when we fail to "test everything", as the Bible commands us
  • The purpose of Leviticus -- and of the entire Mosaic Law
  • Who the Mosaic Law applied to -- and who it did and still does not
  • How God's law can "change" -- and yet not change -- at the same time
  • Why Gay people should study and learn from -- rather than ignore -- the Mosaic Law
  • What these two passages in Leviticus literally say -- and how different that is from what English translations say
  • Why Gay Christians are ok -- but Gay Canaanites aren't -- in God's book!
  • Why trying to believe Leviticus condemns homosexuality is illogical and doesn't use proper Bible study techniques
  • and more!

Holy Bible: Genesis 1:29, 9:3; Leviticus 11:1-46, 18, 20; Jeremiah 29:8-9; Matthew 7:15; Mark 7:19; Luke 11:52; John 1:51; Romans 3:20; 1 Corinthians 14:29; Galatians 2:15-16; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 2:18, 4:1; Revelation 16:13.
