Long continue their slow walk through 1 Corinthians, focusing on 1 Corinthians 1:3–4.What seems like a simple greeting—“grace and peace”—is actually packed with meaning.

1494. The Political Bomb Hidden in Genesis 1

Most modern readers approach Genesis 1 as if it’s answering scientific questions: How long were the days? How old is the earth? But in the ancient world, creation stories weren’t written to settle science debates — they were written to explain power.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explores Genesis 1 in its ancient Near Eastern context, comparing it to Babylon’s Enuma Elish and showing how the biblical creation account makes a bold political and theological claim.Genesis 1 doesn’t depict divine warfare. It doesn’t explain God’s origins. It doesn’t elevate kings as divine. Instead, it quietly dethrones rival gods, dignifies every human as God’s image-bearer, and presents a Creator who rules not by violence — but by speech.This isn’t a partisan reading. It’s a contextual one.Genesis 1 may be more revolutionary than we’ve realized.#bible #podcast #biblestudy #jesus #booktok #books #faith #christ #scholar #genesis #scripture #jesuschrist #theology #hebrew #provetext #god #godisgood #christianeducation #christian #christianity #true #history #politics #glossahouse***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes📖 ***Subscribe to our GlossaHouse Digital Libraries for access to incredible resources - https://glossahouse.com/collections/glossahouse-digital-library📓 ------ Get What You Need for Serious Bible Study at https://glossahouse.com/🎤 Subscribe to GlossaHouse's podcast, ProveText, for a plethora of great in-depth teachings and discussions: ᯤ Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7xXn8x6IgdcUDIhKouDEiR🍎 iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/provetext/id1542221462💻 Amazon - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/0bf4a019-6adc-4766-bc90-c74df78f3720/provetext😃Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/GlossaHouse👍Twitter - https://twitter.com/glossahouse❤️TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@glossahouse🎲Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/glossahouse/📸YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@glossahouse🧲Rumble - https://www.rumble.com/user/GlossaHouse
