The Bible can feel like dumped puzzle pieces — some of them fakes. So how does anyone see the picture? It has a name.

Seven feasts, but God names three seasons. Why? One verse in James makes the grouping visible — and it reveals something about The Plan.

We tend to confuse the accumulation of knowledge with understanding. The Greek word the New Testament uses means something else. https://t.co/LRhhpKKTqj

66 books, one thread running through all of it. And "fulfill" doesn't mean what either side of the argument thinks. https://t.co/YCRHeh77O4

We read the cross as the answer to sin and never check it. But at Calvary the Passover does just what it did in Egypt — and the lamb is never called a sin offering. https://t.co/PxUqQmTctx

The day, month, and year all have an anchor in the sky. The week has none. So where does it come from? https://t.co/jPv0AQGjzO

When does a day begin? We say midnight; the Bible says sunset. But it never pins the exact minute. Why leave it loose? https://t.co/gvOFdRMwak

A corrupt politician took a bribe. A corrupted file won't open. Same word. Only one of them is guilty of anything. https://t.co/s5e5usMzfL

Six and a seventh, then a new beginning. The week's shape turns up in the years, the Jubilee, Pentecost — and we're standing inside all of them. https://t.co/L1u27C2jBq

Flour and water, nothing added — and in two days it leavens itself. Watch it, and Paul's "new lump" reads differently. https://t.co/CuHEAnX56h

What the Bible calls "leaven" isn't the yeast packet on your shelf. Make sourdough once, and we can see why. https://t.co/OTTLTwlaUF

God gave Israel a calendar that begins in spring. But spring depends on where you're standing. https://t.co/7nJVoYL6sn

We read the Passover as being about sin. But in Exodus 12, notice what the lamb is never once called. https://t.co/5sW4EnIVAg

Christ hates the deeds of the "Nicolaitans" — but the name was never translated, only carried by sound. The translation is insightful. https://t.co/xOYjTHpqze

A book lets you skip to the ending. A scroll won't. In Revelation, the sealed seals are doing more than we notice. https://t.co/mbD1T6TFc9

"Your word is a lamp to my feet." But when the apostles read "your word," what did they envision? https://t.co/ZLlTFOWuqg

[Lance Knoechel @LanceKnoechel]

"Church" isn't a translation of the word Jesus used. It's a substitution. What the original word means changes what we think we're part of. https://t.co/iQwTxf8FYP

[Lance Knoechel @LanceKnoechel]

Most of us never notice we've already chosen a lens for the feasts. Change it, and the "rules" start pointing somewhere. https://t.co/t5rIBHWQEz

[Lance Knoechel @LanceKnoechel]

Two feasts, literally months apart, both happening at the cross. The contradiction dissolves when we stop viewing the feasts as only a single straight line. https://t.co/Wqa0uShKYi

[Lance Knoechel @LanceKnoechel]

The calendar puts Atonement long after the cross. The cross is full of it anyway. How can both be true? https://t.co/N5ypHgOh3V
