This episode is the last one on Christian church denominations, and Bethany and Emily talk about two denominations that seem to be lesser-known in North America.

Listen in as Emily and Bethany discuss the history & doctrine of these two churches.

Has anyone ever challenged you with contradictions in the Bible? Bethany & Emily offer helpful explanations for three Bible contradictions:

1. Will everyone who calls on the Lord be saved or not? (Matt. 7:21 - 23 & Rom. 10:11 - 13)
2. "Eye for an eye" or "turn the other cheek"? (Ex. 21:22 - 25 & Matt. 5:38 - 42)
3. Is God all-powerful or does He have limitations? (Judg. 1:18 - 19 & Matt. 19:23 - 26)

Tune in to hear the answers for each of these!
