Was Jesus a Socialist? Was Homosexuality Added to the Bible in 1946? + CIA Says Christians...

Can you control a true Christian? According to a former CIA officer, not really — and that's actually a compliment. In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and co-host Pastor Sean tackle a packed lineup of questions and cultural flashpoints. First up: can Christians play video games? Spoiler — resting is biblical, Doritos are optional, and Pastor Sean's defense of video game breaks via the Sabbath is actually solid theology. Then someone on TikTok drops the claim that the Bible never called homosexuality a sin until 1946 when the RSV translation added the word. Nate and Sean walk through why that argument falls apart fast — Leviticus 18, Leviticus 20, Romans 1:26, and 1 Corinthians 6:9 don't exactly leave a lot of wiggle room, word choice or not. A former CIA officer says Christians are the hardest people to control because their ultimate loyalty is to God — not government, organization, or cultural pressure. The panel digs into why that is, including a fascinating comparison to how other religious traditions handle coercion. Was Jesus a socialist? A listener raises it, and the conversation gets surprisingly deep — covering voluntary Christian giving, the early church in Acts, and why compulsory redistribution is fundamentally different from cheerful giving. Socialism is not communism... but it's holding hands with it, apparently. A small-town Minnesota bakery celebrates a biblical model of family during Pride Month and faces the expected backlash. The panel's take: if selling pro-family donuts is "grifting," then so is every cause-based merch campaign in history. Vote with your wallet and move on. Plus: Gatorade's sugar content gets a full theological and scientific audit, a video from an atheist woman who believes opting out of Christianity means opting out of sin and hell (sovereign citizen theology, as Nate puts it), the debate over whether do babies go to heaven, and a shoutout to Dr. James Tour's standing challenge to any non-believer willing to email him.
