About
Bible Curious is an exploration into sacred scripture, driven by curiosity. The population of planet Earth is 33% Christian. It's 24% Muslim, and the Qur'an does acknowledge the Bible as Holy Scripture. Between these two faiths, that's over half of Earth's population. If I was an alien coming to this planet for the first time, and I wanted to play a game of “Take Me To Your Leader,” it wouldn't take long before I found this book in my hands. If I want to understand this planet, planet Earth, I need to know what's in this text. To ignore it, or to dismiss it casually, is to cast aside the very underpinnings of western civilization, which is the dominant culture of this planet. I mean, aren't you at least curious about what it actually says? I know I am.
DAY 3 (Matt 5-6): Jesus takes advantage of his enormous crowds to teach them, delivering the most famous sermon ever given. Jesus introduced us to his upside-down kingdom, where humility, love, and infinite generosity become the way to conquer your enemies. This is also the first time Jesus mentions Hell, or "Gehenna", as a place of divine punishment.
