A common criticism of Christians is that we "cherry pick" from the Bible. We dont eat shellfish and we shave our sideburns, but we believe homosexual behavior is a sin and affirm the 10 commandments. Are we cherry picking or is something more theological going on?
In this episode I respond to this video by Brian at queertheology.com which claims that Jesus is polyamorous. While plenty of people will respond to the heresy and blasphemy of the claim, I wanted to go through some of the reasons why his statements and attempts to do "queer theology" are... well... queer (sic. strange). He make numerous hermeneutical and theological problems in his attempt to give a religious cover for his sin.

In this episode we explore the weird and wild world of pop atheism and it's claim that "faith" just is valuing belief without evidence. Is that the Biblical view? Is that even an accurate view of Christian belief? Let's find out!

If you've spoken with atheists for any amount of time, you've likely heard this objection against the Bible - God is a moral monster because the Bible commands a rape victim to marry her rapist!
Well is that what the text says? Not even close. In this Freed Byte episode, we take a look at this passage and respond to the challenge.

In this episode I discuss many of the objections that I have to Molinism as a theological system and it's proposed benefits to the Christian apologist.

In this episode I present my research on the Servetus affair in the life of John Calvin. This event is used by anti-Calvinists typically as an ad hominem attack against Calvinism more general. Not only is such an argument logically fallacious, but in this instance it is built on clearly demonstrable revisionist history.
So did John Calvin have Servetus murdered? Let's find out and see why accurately handling history matters.

We are told in the New Testament, " Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds". (Acts 7:22)
And yet for some reason when some of us present that idea that Moses wrote Genesis 1 in the same literary and cultural context that he was educated in, we are accused of denying inspiration or inerrancy. Here I continue my series that basically argues, “Yes… Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians… and he demonstrated his genius for it in his writings where he polemicized the very Egyptian worldview that he was raised in.”
In this episode I lay out some of the evidence that Genesis 1 was in fact a Temple Text.

Here I present a sermon preached at my home church during a series on the Five Solas of the Protestant Reformation. In this sermon on 2 Peter 1:16-21, I present Sola Scriptura and it's importance to the Biblical witness and the history of the church following the Reformation.
Enjoy!
In this episode I present my paper dealing the way that critical scholarship specifically from the Feminist Biblical Scholarship camp, has attempted to recast the role of Jezebel as a heroine of feminism. Enjoy the show!
