How Nakedness Affected the Fall – by Pastor Bobby Scott

Thanks to Pastor Bobby Scott for his four-post series on “How Nakedness Affected the Fall.” Bobby unpacks the early chapters of Genesis to show the link between Eve’s nakedness and Adam’s fall into sin.

Bobby convincingly argues how the author of Genesis singles out Eve’s nakedness as one of the primary reasons why Adam rejects God’s [...]

How Nakedness Affected the Fall (Part 4)

In Leviticus 18, Moses, the same author who gave us the Fall narrative in Genesis, graphically documents the latent destructive power possessed in post-Fall nakedness. Moses’ account of the perverting influence of nakedness reads like the darkest parts of Internet porn. It’s all there—adultery, incest, homosexuality, pedophilia, and even bestiality.

We are not told whether the Serpent in the Fall was beautiful or base in appearance. We are not told if it was large or small, or whether it stood erect or crawled. We are told what we need to know to understand how it enticed the man and the [...]

Why I might celebrate Hanukkah again this year . . .

Hanukkah is upon us again. For many Christians this holiday has little to no significance, at least not like Easter or Christmas. Hanukkah has never worked its way into mainstream Christian social culture.
Last year around this time I explored how one significant Old Testament prophecy (in Daniel 11) points to the historical events that inspired [...]
