This is not sarcastic. We seriously love our Elders and Sisters.

Ep. 75 - The First Pope and the Loosening - Matthew 16.13-20 by Beer and Bible

Oh man - Beware of the Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees! that makes about as much sense to you as it did the Jesus followers back in the day. Check out Neil just reminding us what happened before and Chris's drunken commentary.

Ep. 73 - The Bipartisan Demand for Proof and Whales - Matthew 16.1 - 4 by Beer and Bible

What starts out as Chris's inebriated question devolves into multiple thoughts that are not suitable for a Sunday morning church service. Enjoy our thoughts and reflection.

Ep. 72 - Lunch with Jesus In 4K - Matthew 15.29 - 39 by Beer and Bible

Ep. 71- Slightly Racist Jesus - Matthew 15.21-28 by Beer and Bible

Ep. 70 Matthew -Jesus may need cultural sensitivity training - 15.1-20 by Beer and Bible

Buy Chris A Beer - What do you think heaven will be like? by Beer and Bible

Ep. 69- -Matthew 14.22-36 by Beer and Bible

Take a step out of church (or keep avoiding it), and let's read this story with a different spin - Jesus feed 5,000 "powerless" people and we discuss a different path Jesus could have taken in become a religious/politcal figure in the first century Roman Empire. As always, you'll learn a little, maybe laugh a little.

Well, this is an interesting story, but it gets dark. Apologies in advance. This does not have a good ending.

Alright trying something new this year with a practice for answering questions, completely un-researched, but you get raw thoughts from Chris and Neil. the first question comes from our Co-Questioner Cynthia, asking us to retell our favorite Bible stories.

Last time we focused on Mary, now we're looking at what Joseph's options in the story. . . Let's face it, in this story, God put them in a REALLY difficult situation.

According to the Torah (the first five books of the Jewish Tanakh and the Christian Bible), If a woman is engaged to man and has sex with another man prior to the wedding, both the man and woman should be put to death. This makes things a bit tricky considering God came up with the plan of having an engaged carry the messiah to term in a culture that takes his law pretty seriously. I wonder which angel was tasked with doing a risk analysis of this plan.

Ep. 66 Jesus the Mason and Neil Avoids A Hate Crime - Matthew 13.53-58 by Beer and Bible

Ep. 65- Jesus’ Pyromania in a Long Cryptocurrency Ad - Matthew 13.43-52 by Beer and Bible

Ep. 64- Parables on Mustard and Sourdough set to Minivan Rock- Matthew 13.31-42 by Beer and Bible

This time we get into the WEEDS a bit. ahahaha. ugh . . .anyways, we cover another one of the parables in Matthew and chat it up about this weird passage, and continuously get off track and talk about Satan.

Sometimes we wonder how much you'll get out of this when we probably provide more questions than answers. . . BUT, maybe you will find a few entertaining stories, such as Chris talking about his son reading through the book of Revelation.

This time we are introducing the "parables" - a section of teaching in Matthew where Jesus gives short stories/allegories for his audience to drive home a concept.

Ep. 60 - Jesus, a Racist Prophet, and an African Queen - Matthew 12.38-50 by Beer and Bible

Ep. 59 - Jesus the Egyptian Sorcerer and the Unforgivable Sin - Matthew 12.22 by Beer and Bible

Chris and Neil give their tips on how to read the Bible if you are curious, but not really into this religion. There's a lot out there on how to read the bible as a Christian, but not much out there on how to read an ancient text for fun/education.
