Brad ties Sinai to the burning bush, to Abram’s covenant in Genesis 15, and to a marriage vow. Scott adds how group pressure and the cost of giving up a belief can explain why Israel backed away from God’s voice.KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSEDWhy does Brad say the Ten Commandments are ten words of covenant and not rules to keep on our own?What does Genesis 15 show about who carries the promise when God makes a covenant?Why did Israel pull back from God’s voice at Sinai, and what does that teach us today?ABOUT BARDSFMBardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.
