Thankfully a 60 second Bible Project video offered me a short framework this morning to think about the land God created… The video is a minute long, you can find it on the Bible Project website When I think about Bible stuff, especially anything related to Old Testament or Creation (which is actually literally everything) I have a hard time stopping my mind from jumping to being critical of my brothers and sisters in Christ who adopt naieve or mainstream ideas about my Ancient Faith and King.
