What does it mean to be sons of the promise, or sons of perdition? Does this mean that generational curses are real? What does it mean to be "elect"? Are they always the "good guys" in the story? Why does Cain build a city, and what is the relationship of a city to "empire"? What role do divine beings (elohim) play in the descent of humanity into depravity? How does that relate to the mythos of the surrounding ANE cultures? Are things like music and dancing and makeup bad in and of themselves? And what does it mean to be a "father" to someone, in the biblical text? Is there any hope for rebellious sons?
Here, we spend an entire episode on genealogies! (don't leave!) We take a look at the parallel yet inverse lines of Seth and of Cain, and dive deep into both the physical and spiritual dimensions of that "sonship" and "fatherhood". Along the way, we discover that we are all in one way or another prodigal sons of God, and that Adonai our Father is longing for our return to receive the inheritance he has promised us. Join us on the journey of searching for resurrection on the other side of deconstruction.
