Faith and works. Which is greater? Can you have faith without works? Can you judge a man's faith by his works?

Among some Christian circles this is a hotly debated topic. Some believe you must do enough good to go to heaven, and some believe you must only have faith. Still, others believe that you need both. But what does the Bible actually say?

In typical Christian Theories fashion, we talk about both extremes and try to give a fair representation of each side; after which we give our thoughts on the matter. We approach this subject from the biblical definitions of faith and works and talk about what is required for salvation.

To cover everything the Bible says about faith and works would take many more hours than we could fit into one podcast, but we try to cover as much as possible.

Thanks for listening!

Sam Harris is an author and philosopher, as well as a blogger and a podcast host. He is an atheist and a critic of religion.

In today's episode, we talk about "A Letter to a Christian Nation", which is a response from Sam Harris to Christians who criticized his book "The End of Faith". Although we are Christians, we believe in being open-minded and taking a good look at opposing views.

We take some of the points that Sam Harris makes and see if they hold up to scrutiny from our side.

Enjoy!

Episode 25 baby! In today's episode, we talk about the similarities and differences between Christianity and Islam, and compare the Quran and the Bible; hopefully giving an accurate representation of both religions. Disclaimer: We approach the subject of Islam as we understand it as Christians and are by no means scholars on the religion of Islam. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.

This time around, we tackle the subject of hypocrisy. We talk about what hypocrisy actually is, and why it is that people often accuse others of doing the very things they do themselves. Also, how to avoid being a hypocrite if you have any standards at all.

Thanks for listening!

In this episode, we talk about the strange creatures known as cryptids. They remain a controversial topic, as there has not been a lot of solid evidence for their existence, although there are many eyewitness accounts of these "cryptids".

We look into 6 of these creatures in depth, and give evidence for their existence as well as other possible explanations for the sightings that people have reported.

The creatures we cover in this episode are Bigfoot, Mothman, the Jersey Devil, The Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra and the Mapingauri.

Is unbridled freedom a good thing? Can there be freedom without law? For example, If there were no laws regarding punishment for murder, would that give people more freedom or less? What does it mean to truly be free? Freedom is a wonderful thing, and in this podcast, we seek to understand what it really is. Also, we talk taxes!

Today we talk about the story of Job as revealed in the Old Testament. While most people think of Job as a depressing story, there is actually a very happy ending to it. Not to mention, a lot of things we can learn about the man and apply to our own lives.

The entirety of the story of Job that is recorded in the Bible probably lasted several months, but less than a year. During this time, Job experienced devastation and lost everything he owned. Even his body was being destroyed. Still he didn't turn his back on God. Afterward, God blessed him with twice as much as he had before.

There is at least one lesson that everyone should be able to learn from Job.

Today we discuss immigration and what it should look like.

At the end of World War 2, the U.S. recruited over 1,600 German scientists, engineers and technicians in an effort to gain an advantage over the Soviet Union, who also grabbed up more than 2,000 scientists. Many of the people brought into the U.S. were members of the Nazi party and some had even worked directly with Hitler and Hitler's generals. We discuss the facts about this event and the effects of bringing people who sympathized with Nazism into the U.S. We also talk about MKUltra and subliminal programming.

We tackle the subject of abortion, which we believe to be a largely overlooked area of discussion. People seem to be uncomfortable speaking about it, so we are here to shed some light on the arguments in favor of and against abortion. Links are down below.
