Thinking Biblically About Tattoos Jan 01, 2019

Show notes

In answering the question of tattoos it's important to not only consider Leviticus 19:28 but also what Romans 14 teaches us about handling potentially contentious issues of conscience. On one side we have those who can not distinguish the difference between following their own conscience and requiring that everyone else does. On the other side we have some who recognize a liberty to get a tattoo while forgetting to partner this liberty with wisdom and love. Both of these errors causes division in the body of Christ. I'm hoping this video helps. Here is the video from Graham Allen (Rant Nation) that I referenced https://youtu.be/HYODSbNeNkQ Here is my fuller teaching on How To Understand and Apply The Old Testament Law https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoGKJEENngc&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuBirH5Rw3IhJinWrcTufY6

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

When Robert Barron told Ben Shapiro how to get to heaven was he saying what Jesus or Paul would have said? What did he mean by "follow your conscience" and what would a biblical response to Ben's important question be?

Stop Twisting Jeremiah 10 Because It's Not About Christmas Trees Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

When we read Jeremiah 10 in context it is obvious that it is not about Christmas trees or anything like it.

False Gospel + Fake Jesus = Brian Zahnd Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

I recently read Brian Zahnd's book "Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God" and discovered one of the most blasphemous works I've ever read. This video is an analysis of some key issues relating to the false gospel and fake Jesus of Brian Zahnd. Please do not be dulled by his use of poetry or shamed by his constant misrepresentation of biblical Christianity. Brian Zahnd is a rhetorician and poet more than a theologian or pastor but I'm going to try and bring clarity to exactly where his gospel goes wrong and why his Jesus is really just a mirror image of Brian Zahnd rather than the true Jesus.

Lauren Daigle and the Homosexuality Question Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

Disclaimer: I'm not here to mistreat Lauren but to try to help with this challenging and contentious issue. I think that Lauren's comments in a recent interview on the Domenick Nati show reflect the struggle that millions of people have on the topic of homosexuality and I hope this video helps. Why is it so hard for some people to openly speak about the issue homosexuality? What does the Bible say about homosexuality being a sin? Is it wise, or biblical to get on the fence on this topic? Here is the 4 part teaching on Homosexuality from scriptural, historical, medical and social concerns. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsp1qWCFFN2JPKd5b6_LPED

Atheists Can Be Gullible Too Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

Jim Majors is the CEO for the worldwide group Atheist Republic. He has a new book on the way, refuting Christianity and boy does he have a lot of influence! With over 2 million followers on facebook and a chapter in every state of the US I consider it a kindness to my atheist friends to deal with his claims. He's just not your source for truth guys.

Catholic Apologists Abuse Typology to Teach Mariology: How to find Jesus in the OT pt 15 Nov 18, 2018

Show notes

I'll demonstrate how NOT to do typology by using examples of Catholic apologists twisting the Bible out of shape to squeeze the dogmas about Mary into the scripture. The types of Mary are supposedly the New Eve, the Ark of the New Covenant and the Queen Mother. But when we examine them we see that they not only aren't types, they don't give the dogmas that Catholic apologists pretend they do. From the "New Eve" they want to say that Mary was immaculately conceived (that she was born without sin and never sinned through her life). From the "Ark of the New Covenant" they want to say she was perpetually a virgin (even after Jesus' birth) and that she was taken bodily up into heaven at the end of her life. From the "Queen Mother" they want to say she is exalted to the right hand of Jesus and can intercede for us today. Here are the links to the Catholic sources I mentioned in this teaching. "Dr. Scott Hahn The Virgin Mary Revealed Through Scripture" https://youtu.be/o48-Jo2p9wM Article on The National Catholic Register titled "Amazing Parallels Between Mary and the Ark of the Covenant" http://www.ncregister.com/blog/darmstrong/amazing-parallels-between-mary-and-the-ark-of-the-covenant Article on the Catholic Answers web site called "Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant" https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/mary-the-ark-of-the-new-covenant Article from Catholic Answers called "Is Mary's Queenship Biblical?" https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-marys-queenship-biblical

A Calm and Biblical View of Anger Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

Honestly, I think this is some pretty basic stuff that many believers have ignored. Surveying some Bible passages on the topic of anger and how we ought to handle it. Specifically, we are told not to bottle it up and not to let it out. But if that's the case, how are Christians supposed to deal with anger? The biblical answer is to "put it off". In other news, here is a link to my recent talk with atheist Skylar Fiction on moral issues and the Bible. https://youtu.be/1kXZSTGdfWw
