BeachCast.TV: Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History with Dr. Chase A. Thompson: episodes
- What Happens When We Die? + Where is Abraham's Bosom? Is it Purgatory? An Illustration of the Last Being First, and the First Being Last. Reading Luke 16 #199The Bible says very little about what happens immediately after we die, but today's passage is one of the few that addresses that question, so we discuss it, as well as Jesus' mysterious statement that Lazarus the beggar was in a place called 'Abraham's Bosom.' Does this refer to Heaven, or purgatory, or some other place?13 min
- God's Love for the Lost and His Joy When They Come Home. What Does Prodigal Mean? Reading Luke 15 #198
The prodigal son is one of the most famous teachings of Jesus, but there are many misconceptions that people have about it. Most don't know exactly what prodigal means, nor do they know that this is a parable about TWO sons, and not just one, and that a big focus in the parable is the JOY of the father over the return of His son. Today we talk prodigal sons and joy over finding lost things.

- Does Jesus Want Us to Hate our Fathers and Mothers? + The Cost of Following Jesus + Rewards in Heaven and Not on Earth. Reading Luke 14 #197
Jesus teaches several parables in Luke 14, one of whom calls His listeners to hate their fathers and mothers. Why would Jesus teach such a strange thing, and is there a deeper meaning to what He said, considering that Jesus commanded His followers to love everybody, including their enemies?

- God's Justice: Putting Down the Evil, Raising Up the Oppressed and Fatherless (and not according to our schedules) + God Hears the Desire of the Humble Reading Psalms 9 and 10 #196
Sometimes we are so satisfied in the way that God answers our prayers and brings justice against those who do evil...and sometimes, we don't understand God's ways or His delays at all. We see both of these realities reflected in the Psalms, which genuinely mirror our emotions and feelings so well at times. Today we struggle to understand the justice of God.

- Must We Forgive People Who Are Not Sorry and Have Not Repented? Reading Psalms 7 and 8 #195
Forgiveness is important and commanded by Jesus in Scripture - Christians must forgive! However, what about a situation where a person has done something evil, and they are neither sorry nor repentant about what they have done. Must we forgives in that situation also?

- Does God Send Calamity and Natural Disasters on the Worst Sinners? + The Pharisees Help Jesus?! Reading Luke 13 #194
Jesus discusses disasters in today's chapter, and asks a penetrating question - do the worst disasters happen to the worst people? Do bad things happen to the most bad people? Actually, no says Jesus. How do disasters work?
