1 hr - Other Religions Argue that if Christianity Teaches that Jesus is God, it Contradicts what God Told Moses: "No Man can see Me and Live." This Episode Unpacks why Jesus as God does not Contradict what God Told Moses

That no man can see God and live is a closed case - it's true. And because it is true, Jesus, God the Son, took on human form, the Son of God, and fully God the Son, to reveal God to us, so we wouldn't die. In this episode, I trace the Bible’s teaching that Jesus is both fully God and fully man—the Godman who revealed God the Father. As Jesus says in John 14:9, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” Scripture presents one God in three distinct Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Although the word “Trinity” does not appear in the Bible, passages such as Genesis 1:26— “Let Us make man in Our image”—and Deuteronomy 6:4— “Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one”—express this truth. The Hebrew word for “one,” echad, can denote unity rather than a solitary individual. Genesis 2:24 uses it for the one-flesh union of husband and wife, who remain distinct persons—a picture of Trinitarian unity. I also examine passages describing how the eternal Son of God entered time through physical birth and took on human form, and why, as Savior, He had to be born of a virgin to fulfill God’s plan to die for the sins of the world. Here is a verse that tells that the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because He identified Himself as God: "...the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because...calling God His own Father, He made Himself equal with God" (John 5:18). God bless you as you listen. From my heart to yours, Dennis

54 min - The Cross of Jesus Christ, His Dying for the Sins of the World, Separates Christianity from Every Other Religion
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, I take you directly to Scripture, which teaches that Jesus's death on the cross is the only solution to man's sin. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man can come unto the Father but through me" (John 14:6). Either it's a lie or the truth. The Apostle Paul, who wrote most of the letters to the first Christians to teach them how to live as Christians, put it this way: "We preach Christ crucified...God has chosen the foolish things of the world (like the blood of Christ: my insertion) to shame the wise...so that no man may boast before God." (1 Corinthians 1:23-29). Paul also wrote: "He (God the Father; my insertion) made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 2:21). The Apostle John in 3:16-17: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." From my heart to yours, Dennis

1 hr 13 min - The Previous Episode Unpacked our Need to be Born Again. This Episode Unpacks how it Happens.

In this episode, I point out that the New Testament was written in Greek. With that in mind, I explain that the Greek word translated as "again" in English is "anothen," which means "again" and "above". In addition to presenting verses that explain how being born again happens, I use again and above to guard against thinking that "I am a Christian" when you are not born again - and also thinking that I am "born again" when you are not born again. Note: A Christian is someone who is born again, nothing more, less, or in between. Considering how the church is presenting a watered-down gospel, I fear that thinking I am a Christian when you aren't a Christian is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

In this episode, I take you on a journey through Scripture that will explain why Jesus said, "You must be born again." Also, why does it determine our eternal destiny, and separates Jesus from founders of other religions and what they teach?

About A Look into Why Christianity Differs from Other Religions - a Podcast for Christians, Non-Christians, Atheists, and Everybody Else
From the publisher's feed
I don't have a seminary degree pedigree. But I have, out of the trenches of life itself, experienced the living Christ. I came to Him- more accurately, He came to me- with His love, mercy, power,…
and grace on August 18, 1966. He found a broken 20-year-old terrified of life, and more terrified of death. I’ve recorded this podcast to share how Jesus transformed my life that day, how He’s never left me, and what I’ve learned along the way about what separates Christianity from every other religion. And when it comes to where the “rubber meets the road,” Christianity is the opposite of the way humans think and are wired. In short: it would take “a Jesus” to invent a Jesus. And in this podcast, I take listeners on a journey through the Bible to prove it.
