On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank starts a very special series leading up to Christmas Day featuring his CHRISTMAS acronym, starting with the first two letters of the acronym: "C" and "H". Christthe "C" in CHRISTMASis a title that comes from the Greek Christos, which is a rendering of the Hebrew word Messiah, meaning anointed one. As such, the Christ of Christmas is the long-awaited Messiah who fulfills all the types and shadows of the Old Testament Scriptures. So to fully grasp the significance of the Anointed One’s Messianic role, you have to drink deeply from the wellspring of Old Testament prophecy. Moving on to historythe H in CHRISTMASHank explains that Jesus Christ stands at the very apex of human history. Therefore, he can say with certainty that Christmas is not about reveling in mythology, it is about celebrating events that are rooted in historical fact.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank mentions at the outset that your partnership really makes a difference in the lives of real people around the globe. And quite frankly, Hank doesn’t know when in our lifetimes making a difference mattered more; not just us as individuals, but the future of civilization as we know it. Over 30 years ago the battle for truthas far as the Christian Research Institute was concernedwas waged primarily against the wrong-headed claims of cults like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnessesthose who failed to rightly understand Scripture or dangerously concoct extrabiblical truths based on spurious revelations. Yet today, the battle for truth has become an all-out war for even fundamental conceptions of reality. What else could explain the woke insanity of people who say that men can have periods or that a woman can be called a man? And tragically it isn’t just truth that’s at stake, it’s literally millions of lives as witnessed by the endless war on the unborn and by the alarming rates of suicide among young people.

Hank also answers the following questions:

What is the Eastern Orthodox view of the doctrine of original sin?

Do full preterists know how long human civilization will continue?

Is Psalm 14:1 a prediction of atheism?

My ex-wife has had two miscarriages; when we get to heaven will they be adults or will they still be children?

Will we be able to sin in heaven?

Hank is talking with Jay Richards, a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute and co-author of The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe. Hank and Jay discuss how we put so much emphasis on fear that we stop living the lives that God has given us, the cost of lockdowns, what is keeping us in this state of panic, the cost of being right in the wrong direction, if there is any evidence that this virus was man-made, the science behind social distancing, and if a vaccine is a shortcut to herd immunity.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank brings up the Hank Unplugged podcast, having just finished recording an episode with Rod Dreher on his book, Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents. Hank and Dreher talked about liberal democracy and how its degenerating into something that resembles totalitarianism. The liberal in liberal democracy references the liberties or freedoms that a government is mandated to guarantee its citizens, which includes the freedom of religion, speech, assembly, press, and the right to own private property. And democracy refers to self-government and equality of citizens under the law. All of this means that our liberal democracy provides space and protection for Christians to act for the advancement of justice. And when that protection erodesyou end up with totalitarianism. In the second segment of the broadcast, Hank seeks to answer the question, Did Adam and Eve really exist? This question is transcendently important to the historic Christian faith because if Adam and Eve did not eat the forbidden fruitif they did not fall into a life of perpetual sin terminated by deaththere is no need for redemption.

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses socialism, which has been gaining popularity among American millennials and government leaders as of late. Hank refers to Congresswoman-elect Victoria Spartz, who grew up in the Socialist Republic of Ukraine. I grew up in socialism says Spartz, I saw what happens when it runs out of money. And its not pretty. Every country that has socialism has failed because this system is not sustainable. Socialism creates a lot of destruction and misery. Every socialist system is about suppression. If the government forces us to be equal, they have to suppress. Alarming but true, a majority of our youth are unfamiliar with the historical realities of socialism. How many millennials today have even the foggiest notion of what the Communist Manifesto entails? That socialism can be obtained only by the forcible overthrow of existing social conditions. The Manifesto continues, Let the ruling classes tremble at the revolution. The Proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains working men of all countries unite. For when we prevail and our utopia is ushered in, there will be no religion; no possessions; only the brotherhood of man. Hank also addresses a question that comes up for many Christians in the context of conversations about communism and socialism: Doesnt the Bible teach socialism?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank talks about one of the resources we are featuring this month, the book The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe by Professors Jay Richards, William Briggs, and Douglas Axe. Hank likens the panic surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to the Millennium Bug where formidable intellects along the Christian landscape busily propagated reckless rumors regarding the upcoming new year of 2000. People like Dr. Jerry Falwell who posited that the Millennium Bug was Gods instrument to shake the nation and start a revival in America that would spread across the face of the earth before the rapture of the Church. For his part, Dr. R.C. Sproul was envisioning a meltdown of civilization with one billion fatalitiesthe end of the world as we know it. Not knowing how to discern between truth and error, there were tens of thousands of Christians who were resigned to stocking up freeze-dried food and generators. What was really in short supply was discernment and truth. Well, today the media is doing the very thing they rightly accused Christian leaders of doing. They are using COVID-19 as the pretext for selling fear, for engaging in sloppy journalism, for employing subtly deceptive reasoning, and for trafficking in self-styled science.
