In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate battles "bad computer energy" to bring you a jam-packed discussion on apologetics, culture, and theology. We start by asking if AI is effectively killing music and podcasting by flooding the market with millions of tracks—are human creatives doomed to be replaced by Tesla bots? Then, the group tackles a classic "Bible contradiction": The Census of Quirinius in Luke Chapter 2. Skeptics often claim Luke got the history wrong, but does new archaeological evidence regarding the Greek term for "governor" resolve the issue? We explore why Christians don't need to fear apparent contradictions in Scripture. We also react to a series of clips from the world of progressive "church," including a very unique land acknowledgment promoting gender ideology, a "drag spirituality" sermon, and a confusing take on the authorship of Lamentations. Finally, we get serious with a theological deep dive into the difference between Justification and Sanctification, exploring the Ordo Salutis (Order of Salvation) and why getting these definitions right matters for your walk with God. 📚 Resources & Links: Article: How to Face Apparent Contradictions in the Gospels - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/apparent-contradictions-gospels/ Clip: "Pastor" uses land acknowledgement to promote diverse expressions - https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2001036216825778240?s=20 Clip: "Drag Spirituality" at Shaughnessy Heights United Church - https://x.com/Protestia/status/2001252738576081178?s=20 Clip: Thoughts on the authorship of Lamentations - https://x.com/WokePreacherTV/status/2001257058851832233?s=20 News: Nicaragua Bans Tourists From Bringing Bibles - https://protestia.com/2025/12/15/nicaragua-bans-tourists-from-bringing-bibles-into-the-country/ For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 02:45 - Is AI Killing Music & Podcasting? 08:30 - Are There Contradictions in the Bible?
