Does the Bible condone Killing? Critics say that the Jews commited genocide in the Promised Land when the killed all the Canaanites. And what about Christian crusaders? Didn't they kill a lot of people during the Crusades in the name of God? And what about Islam? They have Jihads, holy wars, and kill in the name of Allah. Then Nazis killed millions of Jews in the name of no god, Atheism. 

Dr Josh Kline joins Henry to discuss killing in the Bible, and throughout world history, with the apparent contradiction to the commandment: thou shalt not kill.

Henry Smith discusses the contents of these letters with Dr Scott Stripling, archaeoligist and director of excavations at the dig at Shiloh, Israel. And spoiler alert, Dr. Stripling has a new theory about a connection to Shiloh that might be mentioned in the Amarna Letters.

Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, Mt. Sinai... Many have claimed to have found these things, but how can you know if they are right?

Like pieces of the cross from Jesus' crusifixion, or the crown of thorns - You can see them, but are they the real thing? We discuss some of these claims and suggest caution when someone makes a claim that they have found something significant.
