I do Q/A on Fridays on the Bridges of Meaning Discord server 0:00 Re: “fatty portions” how does that line up the original sacrificial model. We now know that the fatty portions of the animal provides more flavor and fuel for human bodies. What would it have been like for those early people to sacrifice the flavorful and fuel rich portions to God? 03:30 Most Christians treat certain beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount as being a prescription for specific actions or ways of being that are contrary to our instincts (being merciful, meek, pure in heart, poor in spirit, being a peacemaker, thirsting for righteousness), and the others as comfort for suffering that is not sought or deserved (mourning, persecution, insult for the sake of Christ). But is this dichotomy between passive/active states the correct way to think about the beatitudes? Is being meek, for example, ever something that “just happens” in the way mourning seems to? On the other hand, are we ever called to actively seek out things such as mourning or persecution alongside the other seemingly “active” states such as being merciful? If not, do you have any thoughts on why the beatitudes are formulated in this dichotomy between active and passive states? 24:00 psyops conspiracy theory of Moses, Apiru, 32:30 why does the Father (God) keep secrets? In Revelations John was commanded to keep something he saw hidden. More surprising to me was when Jesus said (my foggy memory) “only the Father knows special stuff, not angels or even Me (Jesus)”. 45:00 I'm curious, is your understanding of 'narrative' (as a way of thinking about Christianity) at all influenced by - or compatible with - 'narrative theology' (i.e. postliberal theology, Yale school)? If you are aware of this movement, I would be very interested to hear your impressions of their project. Hans Fry: Eclipse of Biblical Narrative Ridley Scott new show called Raised by Wolves 55:00 Bethel and miracles 1:21:00 Following on from the Jess video - could we discuss further the the "hand head hand wave" of my inner belief vs Jesus Saves? It was good to hear as we have several dementia/Alzheimer folk in our church. It also resonated with my not hearing from Jesus but being at peace state I am in. 1:31:00 Unequally yoked. 1:38:00 Head-hand-wave, the mixture of the two, that you need the initial experience. 1:43:00 do you think virtue is something that can be cultivated or does it result from the renewing of your mind as you journey further up and further in? 1:48:00 What is personhood? As it relates to us and God and us being in a personal relationship with God, which is what Christians generally say. God as a personal being , us being persons. I apologize in advance if the question is kind of vague or open ended.
