Did the Bible Change? Lion vs Wolf Mandela Effect Sparks 'Jesus Is the Father' Debate

It's another TikTok Tuesdays on the Ask A Christian Podcast, and Nate takes the mic through a wall of callers, chat questions, and at least two people convinced the Bible has been supernaturally rewritten. The episode opens with a caller pressing Nate on whether the Old Testament actually condones polygamy — a deep dive into Deuteronomy 17:17, Abraham and Hagar, and why the "kings shall not multiply wives" rule matters. Steph rolls in fresh off an all-night Clubhouse debate with Catholics about apostolic succession (spoiler: Nate isn't buying it), which somehow spirals into phylacteries and Matthew 23. From there it's a run through "who's actually saved" — Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Catholics all get the apologetics treatment — before the conversation turns to whether your religion is just an accident of where you were born. Then things get weird in the best way: not one but two callers swear the Bible used to say "the lion shall lie down with the lamb" instead of "the wolf." Nate walks through the Isaiah 11:6 Mandela Effect claim, which somehow launches directly into one of the spicier debates of the episode — a caller insisting Jesus is the Father, and Nate holding the line on the Trinity in real time. A chat detour into whether women can be pastors gets the "role vs. hierarchy" treatment straight from 1 Timothy, before the modalism debate picks right back up. The back half is pure rapid-fire apologetics: why Jesus told people to keep his identity quiet, whether "God obeyed Mary" is a fair question, does baptism actually save you, a plain-English walkthrough of the Trinity starting on page one of Genesis, why Catholics call Mary "the Mother of God," and a genuinely wild detour into anti-Catholic persecution in colonial America. If you like your apologetics with a side of internet conspiracy theories, this one's for you.
