John, spinner of yarns, is bringing the hits again this week! Starting off with another spit related story, discussions about sin and ableism, and a certain someone working on the Sabbath again. Discussions about Moses, the Holy Trinity, and The Feast of Dedication lead us to a stunning conclusion - we need sheep carrying lessons.
Matthew draws to a close with the death of a betrayer, the beginning of Murder Meadow, and the, not as graphic as expected, death of Jesus. Despite the "cleaner" than normal ending, we're still left with questions about money laundering, anti-semitism, and the true location of Jesus' tomb.
Read MoreThe penultimate episode of Matthew is action packed, starting off work with virgins toking lamps, an intense and whacky Jesus, and parables found lacking. The disciples and Jesus share their last meal before betrayal and denial.
Read MoreYahweh chats it up with Moses again. Cupcakes…you’ll get it once you read about it. Then we move on to some juicy gossip. We get into a very interesting story that ends in a brutal punishment. We also hear that famous statement an “eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. Listen up farmers, ya gotta take a break in planting your fields so they don’t go barren on you. Also we learn about this super confusing thing called the 50th year Jubilee. Sounds fun…but really it’s just a lot of math and logistics. Oh and also don’t enslave your own people. Enslave other people. Yup, it's in the bible folks.
Read MoreAnother big drinking episode, maybe take baby sips during this one friends. Here we have another confusing reading from Leviticus. The translation of these chapters are rough to say the least. Yahweh gives some more laws to Moses that don’t make a whole lot sense with today's judicial atmosphere. Things like offerings must be male without blemish (blind, broken limbs, maimmed, scurvy, scabbed, wen). Don’t kill baby animals, wait until they grow up a bit. We learn about the Sabbath on the 7th day and also passover. Don’t eat the first of your harvests until you’ve made and offering to Yaweh. The weirdness continues, you'll just have to listen to this one to get it all.
