The first book of the Bible provides the racial context of biblical genealogies and Abraham's covenant. So who's it relevant to? Modern Jewry likes to claim ownership, but so does Christianity. Should Genesis be taken literally?
William Finck, a biblical scholar, runs the fascinating website Christogenea.org and was on my podcast before, discussing why Christianity isn’t universalist.
A lot of people will knee-jerk and get their jaws out of joint at the thought of the Bible not being aimed at everybody, but I recommend listening to the conversation first.
'The Bible is no universalist fairy tale—narrow is the way, and few find it, while the masses stumble into destruction.'
— Matthew Henry
William's discussion with me this time is about the importance of Genesis to both Christians and Jews, as it relates to a fundamental understanding of historical identity.
Basically, Genesis isn’t linked to Judaism, but Christian and Jewish Zionism has captured it, pushing a false doctrine through a Jewish-only lens.
Moreover, William argues that Genesis isn’t a scientific or historical account of everything but a mix of reality and allegory, best read through a New Testament lens.
For example, Adam and Eve weren’t the first humans but the first of the biblical epoch’s ‘Adamic’ race; what happened elsewhere in the world doesn’t matter to the Bible’s story.
'Genesis is not meant to be a scientific manual.'
— William Finck
In other words, Darwinian evolution is bunk, Creation is true, but it didn’t happen 6000 years ago.
Another key part of Genesis—possibly the most important—is the racial context of biblical genealogies and Abraham’s covenant.
In other words, actual bloodlines matter.
Take a listen to William’s fascinating biblical insight, especially from a historical perspective. Nothing he says is made up, from what I can tell; it’s all supported by biblical and other sources.
We’re constantly bombarded with fake news, propaganda, agendas, and outright lies.
It’s an information war.
What is true?
I don’t know either—but I’m trying to find out.
Ray McGovern briefed seven US presidents and now argues that his government lies and fabricates, has terrible foreign policy, and was involved in JFK's assassination. He's been arrested multiple times
A common trope is that the Jews control everything, but Steve Falconer argues that, while Jews are in many powerful positions, the ones who are really in control are above them and hidden from sight. The Jews are a deliberate distraction from what's really going on.
Yes, Christians are being killed. But so are Muslims. What's happening there is not a religious war, but a foreign-backed insurgency to destabilise the country for the purpose of oil and resources under the ground. The religious-war narrative is a distraction.
