  • THE CALL OF ABRAM (Genesis 12:1-20)The Blunt Bible EditionBy: Emmitt Owens(Index #10202025) —– ✍️ Author’s Note:   Following God without knowing the full plan is terrifying.You don’t get a roadmap. You don’t get a timeline. You don’t even get a destination address.   You get: “Go. I’ll tell you when you get there.”   And somehow, you’re supposed Read more

  • THE TOWER OF BABEL (Genesis 11:1-9)The Blunt Bible EditionBy: Emmitt Owens(Index #10192025) —– ✍️ Author’s Note:   When I was 14, I experienced what linguistic confusion actually feels like.   I walked into a church service where suddenly—within minutes—half the room was speaking languages I couldn’t understand.

Move on quickly. Because Genesis 4 doesn’t work with the Blunt Bible format Read more

  • They had paradise with one rule. A creature that could talk—but hadn’t learned to crawl yet—convinced them otherwise. Three beings present, zero accountability taken. God said ‘you’ll die.’ They lived 900 years. The serpent’s words came true literally. Genesis never calls it Satan. Maybe we’ve been reading this story wrong. 🐍🍎 Read more

  • “In the beginning, there was nothing. Just God. Then He said ‘Let there be light’—and there was light. No sun yet (that comes later, don’t think about it too hard). From dirt and divine breath came humanity. Everything was ‘very good’—no death, no pain, no shame. Just paradise, purpose, and one simple rule. 🌍✨” Read more
