BeachCast.TV: Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History with Dr. Chase A. Thompson: episodes
- Was the Bible Written as a Fraud or Hoax? Is Jesus Really God? Where Was Jesus Born? Was the Bible Written To Convince People That Jesus Was God? Reading John 1 #288
Today we discuss a clue in the text of the Bible that demonstrates that it was NOT written to mislead people. Also: was Jesus God AND Man?
22 min - God's Sovereignty and Human Free Will. How Do They Work Together? Do We Make Real Choices? Reading Psalm 115 #287
Huge topic today: How does God's sovereignty and human free will interact? Do humans have free will? Does God cause all things to happen, or are other forces in control?
16 min - Remembering and Reminding Ourselves of God's Goodness as Worship. Reading Psalm 105 #286
Negative bias: It means that humans are more likely to remember bad things and insults than to remember blessings and compliments. Why do we have a bias towards the negative, and what does the Bible prescribe to help us?
12 min - The Power of Humility. + How Should I Pastor God's Church? Reading 1 Peter 5 #285
Today we focus on the power of humility - how in the world can humility be powerful? It turns out that walking in humility invites God's grace and blessing and living a prideful life invites the opposition of God. Ouch!
11 min - Trusting God in the Midst of Fiery Trials and Walking in Freedom, But Not Unrestrained Freedom. Reading 1 Peter 4 #284
Fiery trials should not surprise us, says the Bible, because they will certainly come. How can we go through these difficult ordeals and survive and keep our eyes on God? Also: the limits of Christian freedom.
12 min - Did Jesus Teach That He Was REALLY the ONLY Way to Heaven? Isn't That Very Intolerant?? C.S. Lewis on Jesus Being the ONLY Way To Salvation. Reading John 14 #305
Today we discuss one of the more controversial claims about Jesus - are there many paths to God, or only one? Did Jesus conclusively teach that He Himself was the only, single way to God the Father and Eternal life?
14 min - Does Baptism Save Us? Does The Act of Baptism Bring Salvation? Is it Sexist That The Bible Calls Christian Wives to Submit? + Reading 1 Peter 3 #283
More wrestling with sexism and the Bible today (and how the Bible is not, actually, sexist at all when we read all of the commands to wives AND HUSBANDS. Also: Does the act of being baptized save you?
15 min - The Church Actually Is a Building, But Not The Way You Think. Plus: WHO Are You - The Surprising Truth Revealed. ;) Reading 1 Peter 2 #282
You've probably heard me say it before: The church is NOT a building, except today, Peter is going to tell us that yes,in fact, the church is a kind of building. What kind of building are we, and who are YOU in light of God's calling?
12 min - If God Protects Us, WIll We Still Suffer in Trials? + Called to Love Each Other, Not Snark Each Other. Reading 1 Peter 1 #281
Does God Protect His faithful through difficult troubles, or does He let them go through those troubles? Also - should we be snarky to each other...or act differently?
14 min - What The Bible Teaches About Government, Law Enforcement and Justice. + Delays in Answered Prayer, and How We Deal With Them. Reading Psalm 101 #280
Today we talk about law enforcement, governments and justice. What kind of role does law enforcement and the government have according to the Bible? Should governments show great mercy to those who do wrong?
