On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/01/22), Hank discusses a book titled The Miracle Myth: Why Belief in the Resurrection and the Supernatural Is Unjustified by Larry Shapiro. In the book, Shapiro paints a portrait of Christ that rules out the supernatural. His pseudo-historical information is garnered from Bart Ehrman and Richard Carrier, a fringe scholar who believes the historical Christ never existed. Shapiro ignores the apostle Paul and the creed found in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, which is early and free from legendary contamination. Here we have a man who wins the “Jesus Game,” but loses the week that changed the world.

Hank also answers the following questions:

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/30/22), Hank highlights the importance of his book The Third Day and the DVD The Week That Changed the World by Dr. Paul Maier. In past decades we have seen an outpouring of sensationalistic books, movies, and TV shows that make the life and ministry of Jesus barely recognizable. Dr. Maier calls this the “Jesus Game.” Winning or losing this game depends on how radically different the portrait of Jesus is from the historic Gospel narratives. The prize is maximum coverage and recognition, and any frowns from the faithful are ignored amid the skyrocketing sales. This is the culture we live in and the antidote is truth.

Hank also answers the following questions:

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/29/22), Hank discusses an article in Time Magazine titled “Beyond He or She” which tells how a growing number of young people are rejecting merely two forms of gender. Many are identifying as gender-fluid, and the idea that God made us male and female has been abandoned. Those who are on board with this notion are considered experts and enlightened and those who disagree are considered to be trolls. So, with as many Christians as there are in the culture, why isn’t there a more significant impact? The Bible is clear on gender; therefore, we must not yield our consciences to political correctness.

Hank also answers the following questions:

With things as dark as they are, has the end of the age come? Is the Holy Spirit still at work in the world?
My sister is engaged to a male who is transitioning into a female. Do you have any advice?

Hank and Dr. Luskin discuss why people are quickly abandoning the historical Adam and Eve, theistic evolution, evolutionary creationism, and Francis Collins’ argument that human genetic diversity can’t be explained by an original Adam and Eve.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/25/22), Hank answers the following questions:

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/24/22), Hank discusses the biblical metaphor of fire. In the Scriptures, fire can be both real and metaphorical. God’s throne is said to be aflame with fire. John tells us that the seven lamps of fire symbolize the seven spirits of God. James tells us that the tongue is a fire and is set on fire by hell. The Bible uses the word fire to describe jealousy as well as unbridled passion. So, when we read the Bible literally, it means we must read it in the sense in which it’s intended.

Hank also answers the following questions:

My eight-year-old daughter wants to accept Jesus; what do you think about this?
