Podcast Overview
<p>Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us. Husband is basically an Atheist and wife leans Agnostic but mostly Atheist and we’re just having some fun at the Bible’s expense while learning more about what our neighbors claim we’re going to hell over.Hosted on Acast.

Matthew Chapters 17-18 Q&A: Bible Study by Atheists
Matthew 17 crams nearly every piece of Christian branding into one theological clown car. Jesus glows like a freshly polished Transformer, Moses and Elijah materialize for an unexplained mountaintop crossover episode, and God interrupts Peter before he can turn the Transfiguration into a religious camping festival. We unpack Matthew’s extremely subtle message... JESUS IS THE NEW MOSES, DAMMIT, along with the suspiciously convenient three-person witness list, the “Messianic secret,” John the Baptist’s confusing Elijah cosplay, and a demon apparently responsible for epilepsy because ancient medicine was mostly vibes and moon theories. Then Matthew 18 trades miraculous fish money for church management, community discipline, drowning threats, lost sheep, guardian angels, and enough financial metaphors to remind everyone that Matthew allegedly had tax collection on the brain. We dig into what Jesus actually meant by becoming “like a child,” why “little ones” may refer to powerless believers rather than literal kids, and how “binding and loosing” was ordinary language for deciding what a religious community permitted or prohibited. Translation: Jesus wasn’t discussing office supplies or chest compression, he was handing the club permission to establish club rules. The hosts also wrestle with unlimited forgiveness, impossible debts, servants who somehow have servants, and the enormous gulf between releasing someone’s debt and pretending they never hurt you. Along the way, the conversation detours through Optimus Prime, the Mad Hatter, Christian nationalism, church hypocrisy, anti-Semitism, ICE, dangerous binders, and the recurring realization that Matthew’s Gospel reads less like eyewitness testimony and more like a movement’s aggressively branded origin story. 👉 Listen now at sacrilegiousdiscourse.com 👉 Join our godless rebellion on Discord: discord.gg/VBnyTYV6nC 👉 Support the snark on Patreon: patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse 📌 Topics Covered: Matthew 17’s Transfiguration—Jesus becomes a robot in disguise while Moses and Elijah crash the mountaintop party Why Matthew keeps desperately selling Jesus as Moses times ten The three-man inner circle, suspiciously limited witnesses, and the wonderfully ineffective Messianic secret Epilepsy, “moonstruck” demons, failed exorcisms, and theological excuses invented after the miracle stops working Matthew 18’s church rules—children, hierarchy, conflict resolution, binding, loosing, and divine committee meetings Millstones, drowning executions, guardian angels, and Jesus casually deploying nightmare fuel The lost sheep problem and why rewarding the wanderer still annoys the hell out of the other ninety-nine Debt cancellation, unlimited forgiveness, Christian hypocrisy, and Matthew’s obsession with celestial bookkeeping 💬 Best Quote from the Episode: “I was expecting more beauty and spirituality, and what I got was a clown show.” Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-atheists/donations
