The Hermeneutics of Origins - Dr. John Walton - Lecture 1 - Hayward 2016

[@stevnreed7763]

I can highly recommend getting His Books. I found one called the lost language of the Bible and I can say I can't stop reading it and I'll buy the complete book also I can highly recommend the cultural background Bible there is just so much stuff. He has a way of making complex things easy to understand. It is expensive but you get 800 plus pages of solid information.

''Concordism' bad, a good river guild, beneficial.

What a brilliant hermeneutic exposé of Genesis 1 & 2 but I think John Walton has left one blind spot concerning God's attitude towards his non-human, living creation and how biblically we should treat them. It would have been biblically instructive for us on how we treat the environment. Maybe this is too hot a potato in his church circles to touch. What a big pity.

I enjoy all the ignorant comments

[@michaele5075]

I enjoyed the even MORE ignorant presentation even more. :D

[@michaele5075]

This guy talks about the tower of Babel like they all worshiped the God of the Bible at the time. Sorry, John...thats a fail.

[@JohnsonOyeniran]

Michael Heiser, as well as other scholars, agree that the tower they build was a ziggurat, which was a step pyramid that was built next to a temple because the goal of the people initiating the ritual was to localize the diety.

[@michaele5075]

Thats nice...has nothing to do with the way John acts like it was all supposed to be for God. They were pagans. Of course they weren't going to build a tower in His honor.

[@crippledtalk]

@@michaele5075 prove it..prove they were pagans.. Also you're using the world wrong

[@michaele5075]

@@crippledtalk If they weren't pagans, why did God stop them? Oh right...because if they actually worshiped the real God, they wouldn't be doing what they were to begin with. They would be spreading out over the earth like God instructed.

@@michaele5075 >>if they weren't pagans //again you misused the term >>why did god stop them? //you snarky answer was half right. You however didn't take into account What the text actually says "Lest they make a name for themselves" e.g they were getting prideful, thinking they could reach God through their works"
