Deuteronomy 27-28

Exploring Deuteronomy's blessings & curses: Are outcomes conditional or predetermined?

Let’s talk about it.

Blessings, Curses, and the Conditional Covenant: Deuteronomy 27-28 Deep Dive

Join the One Accord Podcast team as we explore two of the most theologically significant chapters in Deuteronomy. In this episode, we tackle the mountain ceremony, the twelve curses, and the extensive blessings and curses that frame Israel's covenant relationship with God. Greg returns fresh from Guatemala to discuss these pivotal chapters alongside Eric and Micah as we continue our Biblical Theology Project.

Key Topics Covered:

  • What does "all the words of this law" mean in Deuteronomy 27:2-3?

  • The significance of the stones coated with lime and the ceremony at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim

  • Understanding the twelve curses and their theological implications

  • The extensive blessings (Deut 28:1-14) and curses (Deut 28:15-68) in the covenant

  • Why these chapters matter for understanding Israel's history and exile

  • The conditional nature of God's covenant promises

Theological Discussions:

  • Are blessings and curses conditional or predetermined?

  • How do human choices interact with God's sovereign purposes?

  • Can God accomplish His purposes through different means?

  • What does the Joseph narrative (Genesis 50:20) teach us about divine sovereignty and human responsibility?

  • The relationship between obedience, blessing, and God's ultimate plans

  • Understanding conditional statements in Scripture

Whether you're studying Deuteronomy for the first time or deepening your understanding of covenant theology, this conversation will challenge you to think carefully about how God's sovereignty and human responsibility work together in Scripture.
