* Letter to the Galatians: For over twenty-five years Bob Enyart has studied God"s Word praying for the wisdom to share the truth of Scripture with a lost and dying world. Now you can benefit from this very exciting Bible study. This eight-tape study through Paul's Epistle to the Galatians builds upon the foundation of knowledge laid down in Bob's Plot series. And Bob deals with Paul's strange proclamations like: "I did not go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me" and "after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter but I saw none of the other apostles except James." "I do not lie!"  Every story has a plot, and a story's details can be confusing unless you understand its overview. Grasping the big picture will help you reconcile many seemingly contradictory, and controversial Bible passages. Achieve a fuller understanding of God's plan from Genesis to Revelation and equip yourself to share God's Word with friends and family. Consider listening to The Plot series based on Bob's manuscript of the same title. Then enjoy Bob's book studies and see how the big picture can help you to better know the living God.

* Secretly Recorded: Hear Bob Enyart talk to Jehovah's Witnesses in the home of a BEL listener through a secretly recorded audio record of what transpired. Bob takes two approaches. First, the Jehovah's Witnesses have officially issued false prophecies, including in 1921, that "Millions now living will never die." And secondly, Bob presents a surprising alternative method of demonstrating from the Scriptures the deity of Jesus Christ. * Jehovah's Witnesses Are False Prophets: In a classic example of a false prophet, in 1921 the leader of the Jehovah's Witnesses, "Judge Rutherford" published this text, with the claim emblazoned on the cover, that "millions now living will never die"...

* Today's Opening News Briefs: Bob Enyart first reports briefly on UFOs, the Baltimore murders, and the suddenly improved treatment of women. The massive decrease just reported in UFO sightings provides a partial confirmation of rsr.org/predictions#ufos. Bob also presents the reasons for the record high murder rate in the relatively small city (not even in the top 25 U.S.) of Baltimore, of 343 killings in 2017. Also, Bob celebrates the greatest moral movement of the last 30 years, the improved treatment of women thanks to Harvey Weinstein and the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal. But Bob then laments that Christian and conservative leaders are trying to undermine this vitally important social upheaval because of their partisan political commitments (fearing who this desperately-needed upheaval may tarnish). * A Funny Slick-&-Duffy Cross-Examination Moment: Bob airs the funniest moment from the entire two-day Calvinist vs. Open Theism event, between Matt Slick and Will Duffy, when Slick asked about Jesus speaking in parables so that people would not understand. * The "Code Talk" in Parables Fulfilled a Short Term Purpose: Bob gives four observations that he and Will Duffy have made about these passages, as he also presented on December 31, 2017 in one of the Sunday Sermons at Denver Bible Church (which are available by subscription). 1. Jesus put the interpretation of the Parable of the Sower right into the Bible itself (Mat. 13:18-23), which shows that long-term, He had absolutely no hesitancy regarding anyone having access to his explicit and plain teachings. 2: Calvinism would be disproved if Jesus had to speak in code (in parables) to make sure that those who were not chosen could not believe. (This would falsify their doctrines of total depravity and election.) 3. Jesus did not always speak in parables and was often explicitly clear when talking about salvation. See for example John 3:16; 8:23-24; 14:1, 6; and Jesus widely preached the gospel as in Mat. 4:23; 9:35; 11:5; Mark 1:14-15;  Luke 4:18; 7:22; 20:1; as did His disciples Luke 9:6; Mark 16:16; Mat. 24:14; and many explicit Bible passages have been read by millions of those who never turned to the Lord such as Rom. 10:9-10; Eph. 2:8-9; etc. 4. Beyond the "code talk" parables, Jesus held back on many truths to prevent a premature conflict with Rome and Jerusalem (that is, with Pilate and Caiaphas). He did not want them to band together in a public attempt to thwart His purpose in going to the cross. Thus at one point, Jesus went up to Jerusalem secretly (John 7:10). Later, He declined to tell the priests where He got His authority from (Luke 20:8). And He forbade demons (Luke 4:41) and even His own disciples (Mat. 16:20) from telling others His identity. He instructed many whom He healed to keep it to themselves (Mat. 8:4; 12:16, Mark 1:44, 5:43; 7:36; 9:9, Luke 5:14; 8:56). And the Lord even commanded the Twelve to tell no one that He would be crucified and raised (Mark 8:30-31; Luke 9:21-22). * The Open Theism Story Arc of the Gospels: Jesus took many precautions to thwart His opposition from publicly ganging up against Him. This story arc in the Gospels is intelligible only to open theists. For if Jesus had widely taught that He was the King of the Jews who had come to be crucified, easily then the Jewish and Gentile leaders could have conspired to thwart that plan. God arranged Egyptian protection for Abraham's descendants so that over centuries they could grow into a mighty nation without Him having to constantly supernaturally intervene to prevent annihilation by their enemies. Likewise, He sent Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus to Egypt (Mat. 2:15; Hos. 11:1). Similarly, the Lord preferred to outwit His opposition rather than to enable them to force His hand into performing public miracles against the powers that be. Caiaphas, Herod, and Pilate could have conspired to arrest Jesus and exile Him to Patmos, or to send Him bound to Rome, or to just keep Him in p

* Raymond Damadian on RSR: Real Science Radio co-host Bob Enyart interviews Raymond, inventor of the MRI magnetic resonance imaging device. If you love learning about the history of scientific discovery, inventions, and absolute truth, you will absolutely LOVE listening to today’s program! A year ago Bob logged onto Wikipedia to edit the entry on the MRI after noticing that the events listed in the History section of that article were out of chronological order. After making a minor change, moving the sentence about Dr. Damadian earlier in the section to where it belonged chronologically, Bob noticed that the heavy-handed Darwinist editors at Wikipedia, obviously seeking to diminish the contribution of young-earth creationist Damadian, reversed Bob’s correct and to the day of our interview, they insist on presenting the History of the MRI out of chronological order. Selah. * Upright MRI: Dr. Damadian explains the benefits of the Upright MRI. This technological advance help doctors treat patients with spinal column ailments, MS, and many other health challenges. Just click on the image for more information, and check out the doc's informative website at fonar.com. * rsr.org/mri: If you'd like to share today's show, feel free to use our permanent URL for this program, rsr.org/mri.

One objection is that he is a biblical (i.e., young earth) creationist. A second objection is that Raymond Damadian is not a "real" scientist but only a medial doctor. Bob pointed out a parallel instance whereby creationist will ignore the work, including astounding confirmed discoveries, of Dr. Walt Brown, PhD from MIT in mechanical engineering, because he is not a professional geologist. [After today's program, during their off-air discussion, Dr. Damadian happily agreed to receive a copy of RSR's Global Flood and Hydroplate Theory video. If you enjoy these excerpts of that educational presentation, please consider getting a Blu-ray or DVD or download of the full video!

Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams re-air their classic list show for the New Years Day weekend. From opals forming in months, to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, and with carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be, scientific observations fill the guys' most traditional list challenging those who claim that the earth is millions of years old. Many of these scientific finds demand a re-evaluation of supposed billion-year ages. For the full written list, click on over to rsr.org/list.

After news updates on marijuana causing cyclic vomiting syndrome and the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as being in the best interest of the Palestinians, Bob Enyart airs a single question from the Q&A session of Will Duffy's debate with Calvinist Matt Slick on open theism. Popular Calvinist theologian Matt Slick makes a historic concession to open theism with his statement: I don't say that God is outside of time. Nor that God exists in an eternal now." Wow! Also, you're invited to join the thousands who have already viewed this Open Theism debate on YouTube vs. Calvinist Matt Slick. Major Turnaround: CARM's Matt Slick Concedes On God Not Being Outside Of Time In the two weeks before his debate with Will Duffy (between Nov. 15 and Dec. 1, 2017) Matt Slick made a major turnaround in his Calvinism and a huge concession to open theism. As a popular theologian, he now rejects the position he has had held for decades, namely, the settled-view belief that God exists outside of time. CARM.org, Slick's website, has many repeated statements claiming (erroneously) that God is outside of time. (His videos say likewise.) Yet in his opening statement, Will Duffy established by the Incarnation that God does not exist outside of but lives inside of time. In response to that, Matt Slick stated, thankfully but shockingly, “I don’t say that God is outside of time. I don't say that God exists in an eternal now." That is a major turnaround for this popular Calvinist. A Dec. 27, 2017 Google search of his CARM website shows that the phrase “outside of time” appears 44 times on Matt's site including in articles that he has written, updated, or posted recently. For example: carm.org/how-can-jesus-pay-for-all-our-sins-past-present-future by Matt Slick, dated May 31, 2016: “Since God is outside of time...” carm.org/did-god-create-himself by Matt Slick: “...we do not relate to God in His time frame... He exists outside of our time reference. He exists [present tense]... before He created [the universe]. Therefore, the issue of eternity, which deals with time, does not apply to God because God is outside of time.” Contrary to such philosophy, the Bible repeatedly applies eternity to God. See kgov.com/time#everlasting. Matt goes on to wrongly argue that God cannot cross an infinite amount of time. This is false because He has and we demonstrate that at kgov.com/time#crossing-infinity. Also, consulting archive.org it appears that this article also was written or at least posted online in 2016, and not 22 years ago as Matt had stated in the debate. Why Did Slick Misstate When He Changed His View? Matt misstated the timing of when he changed his view to obscure the historic significance of his paradigm shift. If it had been decades prior to this debate when he rejected the belief that God was outside of time, then he could argue that adopting this new view, dramatic as it is, had nothing to do with the persuasiveness of open theism. However, he changed his position while he was watching and reading Will Duffy's and Bob Enyart's open theism debates during his two weeks of preparation to meet Mr. Duffy. It would have been a beautiful display of humility (and still would be) for Matt Slick to say, "I had always taught that God exists outside of time, but these open theists have encouraged me to reconsider that doctrine in light of the Incarnation, and I've realized that, at least on this point, they must be correct. God cannot exist outside of time." carm.org/logical-refutation-open-theism by Matt Slick and first appears at archive.org in 2011: “Time exists… as a relationship to things that change” and Matt claims that God is utterly immutable, that is, that He does not change. Thus by his description, God would be outside of time. Matt continued, “God is not restricted by nor contained within time, nor is He restricted by a continuous succession of events from the past, through the present, and into the future, nor is time an attribute of God's nature. …  tim

After news updates on the Donald Trump economy and the UFO spotted over Los Angeles, Bob airs and analyzes Will Duffy's closing statement affirming God's freedom. You're invited to join the thousands who have already viewed this Open Theism debate on YouTube vs. Calvinist Matt Slick.

Bob Enyart and guest co-host Dominic Enyart consider how Calvinist theologians increasingly say that "Jesus has two natures, divine and human", but they systematically avoid saying that "God the Son has two natures, divine and human", even though Jesus is God the Son and God the Son is Jesus, and it is heresy to suggest otherwise. So Dominic, Bob's son, reads and discusses with his father the 15 passages in the Bible that most explicitly state that God the Son became flesh, became a Man, and that He came in the likeness of sinful flesh. This simply theological Christmas program was prompted by this month's Open Theism debate between Will Duffy and Calvinist Matt Slick.
