Ep. 158 | Was Paul the False Prophet Jesus warned us about?

Was Paul Really Speaking for God? Why His Letters Are Scripture

Who decided that the Apostle Paul’s letters belonged in the Bible? Was Paul simply a religious teacher sharing his personal opinions, or was he commissioned by Jesus Christ to deliver the very Word of God?

In this solo episode, we examine the biblical and historical evidence behind one of Christianity’s most important questions: Why should Paul’s writings be regarded as Scripture?

We’ll explore Paul’s dramatic conversion, his claim to apostolic authority, the testimony of Peter in 2 Peter 3:15–16, and the historical process through which the early church recognized Paul’s letters as authoritative. We’ll also tackle one of the biggest objections to Paul’s writings: Did Paul contradict Jesus, or do his teachings about grace, faith, and obedience reveal a deeper understanding of Christ’s message?

This isn’t about blindly accepting tradition or dismissing difficult questions. It’s about examining Scripture, investigating the historical evidence, and seeking the truth.

If we believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, we should be willing to ask why these particular writings belong within it.

Let’s open the Scriptures, challenge our assumptions, and pursue the truth together.

Ep. 156 - How does fitness relate to Christianity? Is it vain to seek physical strength? What about self-control, gluttony, and laziness? Let’s tackle a few hard questions 😉

Ep. 155 | My testimony is not one of blind faith. If anything, it began with skepticism.

I didn’t come to Christ because someone told me to. I didn’t accept Christianity simply because I was raised around it or because it was the popular thing to believe. I wanted answers. I wanted truth. And I was willing to follow the evidence wherever it led, even if it led away from Christianity.

So I started digging.

I studied Scripture. I compared translations like the KJV and NKJV. I explored the Ethiopian Bible and other ancient texts. I researched history, archaeology, alleged contradictions, the original Hebrew and Greek words, and the arguments of both believers and skeptics. I examined the claims of Christianity from every angle I could find.

At first, I expected that deeper investigation might weaken my faith. Instead, the opposite happened.

The more questions I asked, the more answers I found. The more I examined the Bible, the more I saw its consistency. The more I studied Jesus, the more convinced I became that He was exactly who He claimed to be.

What started as an intellectual search became something much deeper. It became personal.

I realized that Christianity wasn’t merely a collection of doctrines or traditions. At its center was a real person—Jesus Christ. A man unlike any other in history. The One who fulfilled prophecy, transformed lives, died for sinners, and rose again.

The evidence persuaded my mind, but Christ captured my heart.

Today, I believe more strongly than ever that Jesus is Lord, that He is God in the flesh, and that the Bible is the trustworthy Word of God. My faith is not the result of avoiding hard questions. It is the result of asking them.

The very investigation that I thought might pull me away from Christ became the path that led me directly to Him.

I once searched for reasons not to believe. Instead, I found every reason to surrender my life to Jesus Christ.
