We continue with this series of looking in the Gospel of Luke at the stories that he included that were absent from the other three. Today we look at the Prodigal Son and the Rich Man and Lazarus. It is again very enlightening that these two stories were told by Jesus to let them know that the Gentiles are also the children of God and included in the kingdom. We wonder about what the older brother…
In this episode we continue discovering the addition to the gospel story that Luke includes. He includes the story of the barren fig tree that was given three more years, the invited guests included more than just the jews who had been invited first but had chosen not to come, the lost sheep and coin were both searched for and celebrated when found. It is fascinating that Luke includes these…
In this episode we take a close look at the Gospel of Luke. He is the only writer of the gospels that is a Gentile and as a result he includes many stories that are not included in the other gospel accounts. Evidentially they are still rather racist in their perspective and so it becomes the role of Matthew to include all these other stories that would otherwise have been lost had it not been for…

This is part one of a two part series looking at the idea of probation. What does it mean to be on probation? If you are not on probation can probation close on you? We look at several examples of people who thought they were on probation and ended up in exile as a result. Not realizing that the resulting exile was the natural result of their behaviour. The way that Moses wrote led people to…
We conclude this two part series on how Jesus is supreme over all prophets and teachers. In this episode we discover that Jesus is greater than Jacob, Abraham, he is the visible image of the invisible God, He claimed congruence with God, is greater than the church, the temple, and the Sabbath. And yet while being the greatest and master of all He is also our servant and lived his life in service…

In this the second of this two part series on who put the tree in the garden we consider various explanations given for this tree being in the garden. We have concluded that the evil was in the presence of the serpent in a random tree of the thousands of trees possible. The consequences of evil enticement in the garden is also considered. We also consider the connection between the tree of the…
This is part one of this two part series looking at how the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil came to be in the Garden. Was God trying to trick Adam and Eve or Test them? What is Free Choice and do we actually have the freedom to choose? What are the natural consequences of such choices?

In this episode we look at the question Was the Cross God's idea? We unpack a few verses like Isaiah 53:10 that people assume are evidence that the cross was necessary in God's mind to be able to save us. However when understood in its context we discover that is not the case. Jesus is clear he was put on the cross by the Jewish leaders with the help of the Romans. The pdf document for this…
