Why the Biblical Argument Matters
Episode 139: Remember a few months ago when Bill O’Reilly talked about how those of us opposed to homosexual need a better argument than to “thump the Bible”? Me too. In this episode I break down why the Biblical argument matters in the homosexual marriage debate from a historic view.
Question of the Day: How can hell be both “outer darkness” and a place of fire?
Episode 138: Every day, 3,000 babies are murdered in this country. That’s a September 11, 2011 everyday! No wonder the word “holocaust” has been used to describe the abortion pandemic in America. Tune in as I provide Biblical and logical reasons why abortion is morally wrong.
Question of the Day: Do animals have souls?
Question of the Day: Was Peter the first Pope?
Episode 135: Anti- Church. Non-institutional. Institutional. It is interesting the way we in the churches of Christ talk about one another. The root of these monikers is…division. The very thing Jesus prayed against (John 17) is the very thing we cling to with our pet doctrines and institutional affiliations. Tune in as I talk about the need for unity.
Question of the Day: Is the Devil real?
Episode 134: Once again, Mark Sandlin is at it again with a recently published article about political things Christians cannot do if they claim to follow Jesus. In my humble opinion, you can’t claim to follow Jesus and support this liberal progressive agenda, but I try to find what few redeeming qualities I can. Tune in and see what you think concerning Mr. Sandlin’s assessment.
Question of the Day: Do you need to be baptized to be saved? What about the thief on the cross?
Episode 133: Presbyterian minister Mark Sandlin recently published an article entitled “10 Thing You Can’t Do While Following Jesus.” In today’s episode I walk through the article point-by-point and offer agreement or disagreement with Biblical passages. Tune in to see where you fall with Mr. Sandlin’s points.
Question of the Day: Can we pray to Jesus?
Episode 132: So Edward Snowden is on the run because he has leaked national security secrets about the government seizing phone records from major phone providers. So what does this have to do with the Christian? Actually, our conversations have been “leaked” to Almighty God. Tune in as I explore this “leak” and what needs to happen.
New Segment! Question of the Day: How was Cain’s wife a descendant of Adam & Eve?
Episode 131: Recently, a post of a blog was published (see below) listing four (4) ways to encourage children to leave the church. Very provocative, it was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek, but it go me thinking, what do children need from parents? I run quickly down a list of several spiritual resources children need from parents in today’s episode.
Episode 129: Richard Carlson’s article “Whatever Happened to Sin?” is the basis for today’s show. He identifies several behaviors which in the past were considered sinful behavior but over time have been renamed to make better. But if “a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet,” then sin by any other name is just as offensive to God. Tune to hear what has happened to sin.
Episode 128: So some religious groups claim to have modern-day apostles – Mormons stand out as the main group, but some Catholics do and you can tune into Apostle Fredrick K.C. Price each week on TV. Even some in the church of Christ are moving toward a theology which has modern-day apostles (See “Rethinking Apostleship” below). However, the main position of members of the church of Christ has been that there are no apostles today (See “Are There Modern-Day Apostles” below). Today my friend and brother Sean Andrews joins me to discuss this subject.
