In this episode we interact with the increasingly widespread belief that God is the type of being who is like us in that He, well... changes. We would love to show from the Bible why God does not learn or change, and that's a good thing.

In our next Q&A, we tackle two questions from our listeners.

Is assassination, say of an evil political leader, ever morally acceptable?

What does the Reformed faith teach about Dispensationalism?

The story behind the Nicene Creed is far more dramatic than we realize. The conflict that rose to a boiling point in Alexandria, Egypt led to the gathering of the first ecumenical Christian Church council in 325AD. Today we're discussing what happened and why it is so important.

In our next Q&A, we tackle two questions from our listeners.

Ultimately, what happened to the Nephilim/giants in Genesis 6? If they were wiped out by the Flood, then what about Goliath? Was he a Nephilim?

If the Holy Spirit fills Christians, then why do we still struggle with sin in our lives? Why did the Apostles struggle with sin?

The Apostles' Creed: a declaration of faith confessed by Christians for centuries on centuries. The creed provides a beautifully succinct and powerful summation of the teaching of Jesus and His Apostles. It preserves a record of what some of the earliest Christians believed and deemed most central to their faith. What is the history behind the Apostles' Creed? Where did it come from, and why does it matter now?

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth;

and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead and buried.

He descended into hell,

on the third day rose again from the dead,

ascended into heaven,

sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty,

thence He will come to judge the living and the dead;

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

What does it mean that God became a man, and why is it important? In this episode, we discuss the importance of the Incarnation for all Christians, that the eternal God took on human flesh, even as ours.

In our first Q&A, we tackle four questions from our listeners.
