In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley dives into the key biblical passage that addresses the question of Israel’s place in God’s plan: Romans 9-11. Is Israel still God’s chosen people? As Paul’s teaching demonstrates, that question cannot be answered in a simple way, but once you see God’s plan for Israel and the Gentiles unfolded in these key biblical chapters, the result is awe and wonder at the mysterious workings of God’s grace (Romans 11:33-36).

In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley explores the diversity of views among Christians about the nation of Israel. Dispensationalism offers one perspective, and covenant theology offers a range of other perspectives. Tied into this question are different approaches to interpreting the Bible and different ways of fitting Old and New Testaments together, each leading to different ways of viewing the nation of Israel today.

In this episode of the Old Roads Podcast, Dr. Aaron O’Kelley continues last week’s discussion about the “sons of God” in Genesis 6 by looking into two New Testament passages that mention angels and have been interpreted by some as a reference to Genesis 6. These two passages are 1 Peter 3:18-22 and Jude 5-7. Does either one of these New Testament texts, or both, give us a definitive interpretation of Genesis 6 and confirm the view that fallen angels did, in fact, once invade this world and marry human women?
