If you're human you will go through conflict in relationships. Husband to wife, Sibling to sibling, Christian to Christian; as we live on this sin cursed Earth, we can often do battle royale with our sins as well as with each other. But how do we fight with each other? Is it always wrong to do so? What happens when someone we love is angry at us? What if we're the one who is in the wrong? These questions and more will be dealt with in this installment of Theologic.

As a change up to their normal routine, our hosts set aside their quarterly formal debate for a more informal discussion. The topic is the rapture. Is there going to be a snatching away of believers prior to a 7 year period of hell on Earth?  Patke thinks so. Sean does not. Will this be a mass vanishing of Christians? Will it look more like how I Thessalonians 4:13-17 describes it? These questions and more discussed on this installment of Theologic.

In our current era, debate rages on the topic of whether or not the sign gifts of the New Testament have ceased. Are there miraculous sign gifts given to men today? How is that different from saying that miracles happen or don't happen today? Where are all the true bona fide healings that are purported to have happened around the world? What does the scripture have to say about it? 

In this month's interview, Patke and Sean interview David Lovi writer and narrator on the documentary "Cessationist." In it, they discuss why their documentary was made, what ways their views are misrepresented by detractors, and what is the biblical case for the sign gifts ceasing. Listen in and see if you find the case convincing.
