Description

In this episode of Justified Radio, David Sally and Phil Whittemore explore the transition from Genesis 1 to Genesis 2, emphasizing the seamless flow of creation's completion and the institution of the Sabbath. They discuss the importance of studying Scripture contextually, recognizing both its divine inspiration and the human tools, like chapter divisions, that aid understanding but were not part of the originals. The hosts highlight how early Christians and modern readers alike must look beyond surface reading to truly grasp biblical meaning, occasionally referencing extra-biblical writings for cultural context. They also explain the theological significance of the Sabbath as a model of rest, worship, and reflection, pointing out the broader effects of sin on all creation and the eventual restoration promised through Christ. With humor and heartfelt conversation, they stress the unchanging truth of God's Word in a world eager to redefine time, history, and morality.
