Did God Really Say That?
Do you or someone you know express doubts about the Bible being true? You might have heard someone ask “you really think it is God’s Word?” or “You really think God said that?” Sometimes a person expressing these doubt thinks they are much more intelligent and wiser than all those previous generations who believed the Bible. When in reality, they are the ones expressing archaic and outdated ideas going back to the garden of Eden.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Well, hey, have you or someone you know ever expressed doubts about the Bible being true?
2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,380
You might have heard someone ask, well, do you really think God said that or you really
3
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,160
think that's God's word?
4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,480
Sometimes a person is expressing doubt, thinks that they're actually more intelligent than
5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,560
the rest of us or generations of Christians who have believed that the Bible was true.
6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:33,240
And in reality, they're expressing archaic and outdated ideas.
7
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,360
So welcome to this week's Shabbat Shalom devotional.
8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,280
When I seek to share just a little inspiration, bring a little piece to the close of your
9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,580
very busy week.
10
00:00:43,580 --> 00:00:49,000
This week we begin reading through the Torah with the Jewish community.
11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,620
We will go through it in a year and each week my Shabbat Shalom devotional will just come
12
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:58,080
in on one little verse or one little thought from this week's reading.
13
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:05,360
So this week's reading begins with Genesis 1 and goes through chapter 6 verse 8.
14
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,480
This reading is called Brashit, which is the Hebrew word that the Scripture begins with.
15
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Genesis 1, 1, the very first word is brashit and it means in the beginning.
16
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,880
So we read this week about the creation of the world, about the creation of man and woman,
17
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Adam and Eve, and how that God tells them that they can eat from any tree in the garden
18
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,520
except one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
19
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,360
And if they eat from that tree, that they will die.
20
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Now in chapter 3 verse 1 it says this, Now the serpent was more crafty than many of
21
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,400
the wild animals the Lord God had made.
22
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:57,280
He said to the woman, Did God really say, you must not eat from any tree in the garden,
23
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160
and that seed of doubt affected the woman?
24
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Did God really say that question, that doubt turned into disobedience and Adam and Eve
25
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,120
lost it all?
26
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,960
So did God really say, you know?
27
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,360
God spoke the world into being.
28
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,160
His word is so powerful and his word is true.
29
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:31,080
Now curious minds may ask this question, but also rebellious hearts will use that question
30
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:38,280
as an excuse, an excuse not to obey, an excuse not to believe it.
31
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,560
But in the Christian Bible the very last book is called Revelation.
32
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,760
And in Revelation 19 the John the writer of Revelation has a vision and it's of Christ
33
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:57,640
returned to the earth and he returns on a white horse, victorious, and his name is the
34
00:02:57,640 --> 00:02:59,920
word of God.
35
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:03,280
So the Bible begins with the seed of doubt.
36
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,600
Is that really what God said?
37
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:14,200
That it ends in Revelation with proof of the power and the victorious word of God that
38
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,980
God's promises are true and we can depend on him to fulfill them.
39
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:27,520
So with that I want to wish you a Shabbat Shalom and I really encourage you to download
40
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,120
our little guide of the Torah readings for each week over the next year so that you can
41
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,120
read along with me each week and then I'll see you back here each Friday afternoon for
42
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,200

43
00:03:40,200 --> 00:04:04,960
God bless.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Well, hey, have you or someone you know ever expressed doubts about the Bible being true?
2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,380
You might have heard someone ask, well, do you really think God said that or you really
3
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,160
think that's God's word?
4
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,480
