After seeing that the Bible says the dead are asleep in the grave with no concept of time, how do we handle the passages in the Bible that seem to contradict these truths?  In this episode we explore the passages that seems to contradict and show how they fit into the narrative of the Holy Bibles teachings of the after life before Heaven Comes down to Earth. 

The Bible teaches many times that after death we are unconscious in the grave.  But many people can't get past the story of the rich man and Lazarus that Jesus told.  does this story contradict the rest of scripture?  In this episode we examine what this story is actually teaching and why.  

There are many different teachings in Christianity about what happens after we die, some say we will be in heaven immediately, some say purgatory to pay off your sins, some believe we get our own planet and become another God, some teach that we cease to exist,  Well what does the Bible actually say and teach on this subject?  it has a lot to say, and a lot of details I bet you didn't know.  in this episode we will discuss what the Bible says happens after we die, what we can expect, and I guarantee the answers are not what you hear preached every Sunday.    and in the next episode we will take a detailed look at the one passage people claim proves we are immediately in heaven or hell upon death, we will examine this passage and ill show you from the context and a slow walk thru the story that it does not teach what many in Churchianity today claim it teaches.  so stay tuned and alert to these two episodes and I hope you learn a lot that removes the confusion, sets your mind at ease  and gives you a great understanding of the blessed hope we are promised in the scriptures. 

Have you ever wondered what the Jehovahs Witnesses believe and are they Biblical.  well in this episode we will take an honest look at their core doctrines about God, Jesus, Heaven Hell and Salvation and the Bible, and you will hear a mountain of evidences from their own bible and publications and history that will give you very clear answers on these subjects and you'll see exactly how they get many of these doctrines wrong and the reasons why.  unbiased, just facts in this episode. and honest examination of their core tenants.  

We here at Leaving CHURCHianity want to help those who are searching for the truth.  Questioning the traditions we all inherited.  if that's you wed like to hear from you via email "[email protected]" tell us where your heart is at, what's on your mind, and if there are any topics or passages you would like talked about on the podcast.  wed love to hear from you and work on these things together.  So, What does your heart say? Do you really want to know Gods true instructions for you and me in 2024?  are you willing to question  Christian traditions and drop anything that violates Scripture? That such a crucial question that tells you where your heart is exactly.  these are questions we all need to be asking ourselves.  We simply want people who are hungry for intimacy with God, to be spriritually pleasing to the Most High and who will help us study together and encourage each other in a non judngmental loving atmosphere.  I hope that resonates with you. Lets here what God, Jesus, Paul and others all had to say about this subject of properly worhispng the Almighty Sovereign God. 

Most of us have never thought about what God thinks about modern Christian Worship.  Does it please Him?  What does He think about our holidays? How does He feel about Easter, or Christmas for instance?  Well, in this episode we are gonna think about and consider these questions and see what the Bible has to say about it all. 

Have you heard any convincing arguments you think might disprove the resurrection of Jesus?  The Most important event in human history carries the most weight and meaning.  History clearly testifies that the resurrection did happen, yet people try to explain it away using fanciful arguments.  in this episode we examine the most common objections and prove they fail to over turn the mountain of evidence proving Jesus' Resurrection. 

In this episode we wrap up a look at many different evidences we have in history and archaeology that prove the validity of the most important event in human history - the Physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  After looking at all these evidences the conclusion is very clear = the most logical conclusion we can come to is it really did happen and it would be foolish to reject these truths.  

The most crucial question that could ever be asked is did Jesus Really Rise from the dead Bodily?  That answer (which is yes by the way) proves a truthfulness of the Bible and proves all other religions must bow to Jesus Christ. Not "christianity" or CHURCHianity as I call it, but bow to Jesus.  in this episode you'll hear why the most logical factual conclusion you can come to is that Jesus lived, died and rose from the dead proving that He is to listened to, and that only He holds the keys to eternal life.  in this episode you'll hear the unified consensus from historians and archaeologist and eye witnesses.  you'll hear things you've never heard before that may challenge your beliefs. 

The most important question we can ask is "did Jesus REALLY rise from the dead"?  Because if He did - then that changes everything.  So much of the true record of history is censored for society, even in the Church, and most people never hear the actual evidences that exist.  In these episodes we are laying out some of the writing from historians of the 1st century that attest that Jesus did actually rise from the dead.   Hopefully these evidences will help strengthen your faith.
