Baqash: Exploring The Old Testament

Excessive Banter: Fast Forward to 17:25 to start the study WARNING: This episode contains (biblical) words that might be found offensive. Please be advised if you have younger listeners.   Chapter 4 is where God lays out his case against Israel. It isn't looking good for them. But what does this mean for us? Also, there are some really fun translation notes and comments here. Getting through Hosea is no easy task, but we try our best to make it easier. 

The Lord has mercy on Israel and Hosea gets his wife back! All is well. At least for now...

WARNING: This episode contains more adult-oriented subject matter. Please be advised if you have younger listeners. It is impossible to serve God and idols. In this episode we see God painting a picture of what it looks like to flee from him and run towards false gods. 

What do the people of Israel and Hosea's wife have in common?  It's nothing really good. Thanks for listening and we hope you are learning just as much as we are!

We are back! Our first episode in the book of Hosea. We give a little background on the book and then dive right into the first chapter.   This book does present some unique challenges and we feel it smooths out the further you get. We highly recommend the following commentaries to help you along: https://www.amazon.com/Daniel-Malachi-Expositors-Bible-Commentary-Zondervan/dp/0310268931/ref=sr_1_21?keywords=expositors+bible+commentary&qid=1583441927&sr=8-21&fbclid=IwAR0IOxUhLuVcEs4cFtNdRZegef3aS9VuRKMlTSvD_J7jm8JGXc8ScMYw92U https://www.amazon.com/Minor-Prophets-Understanding-Bible-Commentary-ebook/dp/B008PRGRI4/ref=sr_1_24?keywords=Hosea+commentaries&qid=1583441810&sr=8-24&fbclid=IwAR0VTRVeVOk-8zXHMU85a1lYk5DYeFp-psabjT7FJrT2hht7X3rUNreFkHU

YOU MADE IT! The last chapter in Deuteronomy! We will be back in a couple weeks with Hosea, but until then, enjoy the completion of the book! Thank you for listening and we look forward to the next book.  

You know it is a good one when Moses says "I will make my arrows drunk with blood,  and my sword shall devour flesh"    

Only 3 more episodes in Deuteronomy (including this one)! In this one we are going to start the dive into the song of Moses. Just know, I would not call it a love song. Well, I would if you consider the genre is metal. Or Goth. 

Moses was like a good estate planner. He wanted Israel to know what would happen when he died. He appointed a successor and then proceeded to be typical, grumpy Moses.   Enjoy our 59th episode. As always, feel free to comment or email us (baqash@outllook.com) if you have any comments or questions! Thanks for listening. 

We recorded this when it was 80 degrees and awesome outside. It was a good time to discuss true biblical prosperity and where to really find life.  Deuteronomy is coming to an end. Feel free to share with us what you have learned from your studies (baqash@outllook.com) 

Don't be alarmed! The intro music got corrupted and I had to make a quick change to some temporary music. It will all be back to normal next time. Until then, let's take a trip to Moab and renew a covenant.

As we near the end of the book, we see more and more reminders of what happens when we refuse to follow God and turn to idols. Jump in as Moses gives another warning of the carnage that will ensure if Israel fails to follow him in the promise land. 

You get a curse, and you get a curse! Everyone gets a curse! Let's explore the happy subject of curses together, shall we?

Blessings, blessings, blessings. God promises a blessings for Israel if they remain obedient. Spoiler, they won't. Enjoy the latest and just FYI, we are now able to be heard on Spotify and Google Play Music!

Scott has surgery, Don has baseball. But do you like full chapters? Because we cover the full chapter!  Before you cross into the land, you gotta know the curses!  

After figuring out how remote car starts work, let's talk about blotting out the memories of your enemies and providing for others through the tithe.  Basically, we are back in business! Enjoy our latest episode.  

This podcast is riddled with issues! No, really, we try out some new audio equipment and that goes south. Then Don, the world's worst audio engineer forgets to set up Scott's mic.  But hey, we still manage to pull off a podcast... So, let's put the crazy behind us and talk about how to treat our fellow man in the context of Deuteronomy 25.

Join us in our 50th episode!  And if you don't like to here our ridiculousness, fast-forward to the 10:15 mark!  This week we talk about the consequences of sin as it related to the relationships within the community of Israel. 

Who is ready to study some miscellaneous laws? Well, after some impressive spanish, you can join us as we look at some of the laws Moses passed down to Isreal. 

Warning: This episode contains subject matter that might not be appropriate for younger listeners. Please use discretion.  We can talk about freeloading and divorce, all in one podcast. But hopefully we see God's actual design for our lives and marriage instead of some loopholes. The banter and chatter ends at 7:52 If you want to skip right to the bible study
