I this episode I discuss a well known passage used by atheists and skeptics the world over to protest to Biblical Christianity. That is, the passage where they say the prophet Elisha murders a bunch of little kids for making fun of his baldness by calling some bears to attack them. But, is that really what the text says happened?
In this episode I present my paper dealing with the Noetic Affects and Effects of Sin and Grace and explore the ramifications of sin for the breakdown of what Brunner called the “I-Thou” paradigm. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Listen in and you will!

In this episode I review an article by Clint Archer dealing with the issue of the 144,000 found in the book in the Revelation. This article is a good case study in the differences of hermeneutics between Reformed and Dispensational Christians.

In this episode I present my research paper on Psalm 137 (one of the so called Imprecatory Psalms) where I explore how it is to be understood and applied within it's historical and textual context, the Christian canon and should be applied to the Christian church despite its violent imagery.
You can find the paper HERE.
In this episode I present the content of one of my MABS research papers dealing with a rather strange law found in Numbers 5 - The Trial by Ordeal of the woman suspected of adultery.
This is a confusing passage for so many and I hope this episode helps many to think more clearly about it. I do not read the passage in the episode so please read it before diving into the content.
Enjoy the show!!
In this episode we explore Judges 11 and the objection that here the Bible "endorses child sacrifice" and try to better understand what is happening with Jephthah and his vow.

In this episode I do something a little different. Some good old fashioned Biblical exhortation and encouragement to brotherly love in the podcast.
In this episode I give my final thoughts on the debate that I had with Jason Mullett on our views of Genesis 1. If you have not listened to the debate yet, go back and listen to the last MEGA episode which contains the full debate, audience Q&A and after show.
Enjoy!
In this episode I air a debate I had with Jason Mullett of Logical Belief Ministries on our differing views of Genesis 1.
In this episode I present the final installment of my series on Genesis 1 and what I think is the best handling of the text - the Polemical Literary Framework. This is part 5 of the series so I recommend listening back to the previous episodes before jumping into this one.
Enjoy the show!
