December 16, 2018Pericope Adulterae in the Gospel of JohnIn this episode, I review the reasons why nearly all scholars do not think that the story of the woman caught in adultery (the Pericope Adulterae) is authentic to John's Gospel and why it should not be included in the New Testament.Enjoy the show!...more29minPlay
December 08, 2018On Cherry Picking from the BibleA common criticism of Christians is that we "cherry pick" from the Bible. We dont eat shellfish and we shave our sideburns, but we believe homosexual behavior is a sin and affirm the 10 commandments. Are we cherry picking or is something more theological going on? ...more56minPlay
November 18, 2018Was Jesus Polyamorous?In this episode I respond to this video by Brian at queertheology.com which claims that Jesus is polyamorous. While plenty of people will respond to the heresy and blasphemy of the claim, I wanted to go through some of the reasons why his statements and attempts to do "queer theology" are... well... queer (sic. strange). He make numerous hermeneutical and theological problems in his attempt to give a religious cover for his sin. Enjoy the show!

October 27, 2018FREED BYTE: Deut 22:28-29: A Manual for Marrying a Rapist?If you've spoken with atheists for any amount of time, you've likely heard this objection against the Bible - God is a moral monster because the Bible commands a rape victim to marry her rapist!

October 02, 2018Metaphysics and the Failure of MolinismIn this episode I discuss many of the objections that I have to Molinism as a theological system and it's proposed benefits to the Christian apologist. Enjoy the show!...more1h 19minPlay
September 09, 2018Why Accurately Handling History Matters - Calvin and the Servetus AffairIn this episode I present my research on the Servetus affair in the life of John Calvin. This event is used by anti-Calvinists typically as an ad hominem attack against Calvinism more general. Not only is such an argument logically fallacious, but in this instance it is built on clearly demonstrable revisionist history. So did John Calvin have Servetus murdered? Let's find out and see why accurately handling history matters. Enjoy the show!...more1h 33minPlay
August 08, 2018Genesis 1 as Temple TextWe are told in the New Testament, " Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds". (Acts 7:22) And yet for some reason when some of us present that idea that Moses wrote Genesis 1 in the same literary and cultural context that he was educated in, we are accused of denying inspiration or inerrancy. Here I continue my series that basically argues, “Yes… Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians… and he demonstrated his genius for it in his writings where he polemicized the very Egyptian worldview that he was raised in.” In this episode I lay out some of the evidence that Genesis 1 was in fact a Temple Text. Enjoy the show. ...more42minPlay
