April 18, 2025 Cloning, IVF, and the Didache
A number social media messages
TruthXchange would you consider tackling the dire wolf cloning? It seems that once an animal is extinct that to resurrect such a being would be contrary to God’s providence.

Dear truthXchange Podcast, Dr. Ventrella and Joshua Gielow. Thank you for your show and weekly articles. The recent article on Calvin University footnote 11 (Yes, I read the footnotes, though I think some of your footnotes are worthy to be issues tackled at greater lengths) Do you think that Dr. Smith’s salvation is compromised because he has widened his doors to the LGBTQ?

Notice the sleight of hand here: “salvation issue” is equated with “disagreement is disallowed.” Smith is confusing categories. Smith, I suspect, doesn’t really contend that Synod is saying one is damned with certitude for being Baptistic or even affirming same-sex “marriage;” rather, he’s irritated that he can’t kick against this Scriptural sexual norm. The point is that affirming same-sex “marriage” departs from a credible Christian profession of faith and thereby puts one into spiritual jeopardy. It is a position rooted in deception that, as Paul says, will not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:9. So, in that sense at the very least, it certainly comprises a “salvation issue.”

I noticed a few references lately to the Didache. What are your thoughts about the reading of non-canonical books?

April 11, 2025 The Barna Poll and the Parachurch. PLUS: Is Easter Pagan?
"The survey’s demographic breakdown reflects that the church has failed to impact the theological formation of the next generation, whether pew-sitters or the broader population. The theological ignorance is stunning. " later you quote another author, “It could be argued that the primary theologians influencing the spiritual views of America these days are figures such as Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand, Jordan Peterson, Megyn Kelly, and Bill Maher.” Clearly, the church is failing in it's catechesis, but certainly ministers are up against a competition of those who take 6 days of content, and then come in on Sunday with no appetite for the means that is supposed to supply them for the week. How can churches compete?

Does the Bible support the ministry of parachurches? Could parachurches be a part of the areas of ignorance we see today?

Dr. Ventrella, my son Tommy asked me about the pagan roots of Easter historically and its relation to the Church's historical practice. Is Easter a oneist or pagan practice that became synchronized with Christianity? Should we reject it in favor of more early practices like a Seder dinner?

April 04, 2025 1700 Anniversary of Nicaea
It's the 1700 anniversary of Nicaea, and the TruthXchange team tackle questions on:

The Council of Nicaea took place 1700 years ago and almost 300 years after the resurrection of Christ. What are the issues settled at Nicaea? What doctrines arose from that council? Are they new, are they old?
Is Nicaea an archaic thing that happened that has no significant bearing today? Do we need to hold every view of the council? For instance, one questioner stated that "the council of Nicaea determined Mary as theotokos, and that is an error that haunts the church."

You mentioned Full-Preterism, what is Preterism?
Emperor Constantine called the council, and great things came from it. Could it not be said, "to have a godly president call a modern day council good also good for today’s divisive denominations?"
