Hebrews Chapter 4, Part 3

In this episode of I Don’t Get the Bible, Delaney and Shawn dive deep into Hebrews 4:11–15, unpacking what it truly means that “the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword.” Together they trace the passage back to its original context—showing that the “Word of God” here refers not to the written text, but to Yeshua Himself.

They explore how early believers understood scripture before the New Testament existed, how the Bible was later compiled, and how confusion over the “Word” led to centuries of religious control. The conversation expands into emotion, spirit, and the nature of faith—contrasting the Spirit of Man (emotions and law) with the Spirit of Christ (unconditional love and faith).

Delaney presses on how religion uses emotion and law to keep people in belief, while Shawn explains that true faith is spiritual, free, and guided only by love. The episode closes with a discussion on the history of the Bible’s formation, the Petristic Fathers, and how individual conscience, not institutions, was always meant to be the true interpreter of God’s Word.
