Thinking Out Loud with Alan Shlemon

Alan wrote two critical articles about the film, 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted Culture, prior to ever watching the film. Now that he's seen it, Alan evaluates whether his assessment was correct.

Alan offers two reasons why every Christian should study how to interpret the Bible.

Alan addresses the claim that because Eve was formed from a male rib, she represents the first transgender woman. Consequently, the Bible (and God) permits transgenderism.

Alan offers eight tips to help someone who is interested in pursuing part-time or full-time apologetics ministry.

Should a Christian attend a same-sex wedding? Alan has attended a same-sex wedding in the past, but believes he made the wrong decision. In this episode, he unpacks his past reasoning, explains why he was mistaken, and offers a practical alternative.

Alan explains what would happen if someone was to go back in time to 1946 and stop the RSV Bible translation team from using the word “homosexuals.” He unpacks whether this would change the Bible’s teaching on marriage, homosexuality, and sexual ethics today.

When a person rejects God, they’re left to determine for themselves their own identity. Alan unpacks some problems with this approach.
