• FBR Episode 30 - Longing For Eden: The Key to Desire

  Longing for Eden is at the core of all of our desires. In Eden, mankind had perfect government, perfect fellowship, and perfect provision. Humanity was made for the perfection of Eden and nothing short of that perfection will ever satisfy us. But since we are subject to the pride of our fallen state, all of us, religious AND atheist, seek to recreate that perfection WITHOUT God. Our efforts and failure to do so is the story of our tragic human history. Only by turning to God can we truly reclaim our deepest longing. In this week’s podcast:What we lost when we fell from EdenHow we try to replace paradiseWhy we desire to regain Eden without GodHow the judgment and curses of Original Sin are loving and mercifulWhy natural disasters CANNOT be blamed on God  For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

• FBR Episode 29 Original Sin and the Forbidden Fruit

  The Forbidden fruit was the catalyst for Original sin, death, and the curses God placed on Adam, Eve, and the Nachash (serpent). But what was the forbidden fruit? Was it an apple or a fig (short answer: neither). And why did eating it give Adam and Eve knowledge of good and evil? Also, why did God render the specific judgments of Genesis 3, and what are the deeper meanings? We’ll address those topics on this week’s podcast…For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

• FBR Episode 28 - Does God Need Evil

  Does God NEED evil? That question may sound sacrilegious, but when you think about it, the entire Biblical plan of redemption was predicated on the fall of man and the subsequent plan for salvation (through which God showed us His love in the form of the sacrifice of His Son). If there were no evil, there’d be no sin and no need for salvation. So is “evil” a necessary part of God’s plan? The obvious answer is no. In this podcast, I tell you why evil isn’t necessary, as well as the most effective way to fight evil (it’s probably not what you think…)

• FBR Episode 27 Create Good Destroy Evil

  To create is good, to destroy is evil. When Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they obviously gained knowledge of good and evil. But what does that mean? Our definitions of good and evil are often subjective and contradictory. The Bible links “good” to creation, and “evil” to destruction. But the Bible also says that God can do evil (destruction). How can that be if God is good. As with most topics, we’ll need to look a little deeper to get the full definition. In this week’s podcast:How our subjective definitions of good and evil can actually make Hitler “good”How the Bible defines “good”The true definition of EvilWhy Evil can’t exist on it’s ownWhat does the Bible mean when it says God does “evil”?How God’s “evil” actually leads to long term GoodHow Satan’s “good” leads to long term EvilWhat is dualism and why to evil forces embrace it?For exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason

• FBR Episode 26 - The Cure for Death

  Blood is the conduit of physical life according to the Bible. Jesus also stated that words (thoughts) are the source of spiritual life. We are born dead spiritually and we are dying physically because the blood and thoughts that are meant to nourish and repair us are corrupted due to our imperfect fellowship with God. But if we had access to perfect blood and perfect thoughts, we could “cure death” and have eternal life! In this week’s podcast:How is blood essential to life?Why it’s so important to God (and our spiritual enemies)How WORDS are essential to spiritual life and repairThe true source of eternal lifeFor exclusive content, Q&A Videos, and private Bible study, become a Faith By Reason Patreon www.patreon.com/faithbyreason
