    If Yahweh has been playing a delicate game of chess with the other Elohim, what game plan has the opposition had?

    Jesus calls himself the Son of Man. We call him the Son of God. What do these terms mean, and what implications do they bear?

    Guest host John Martindale invades the 2 Kings story of bald Elisha and the she-bears that ripped to shreds the boys that mocked his baldy-baldy-baldiness!

  39. Question 61: Why Does Luke Repeat Himself?

    Luke tells the same story three times in the book of Acts. Why?

  40. Religion & Politics

    Dante briefly comes back from hiatus to discuss Trump and Chrisitianity!

    Dante discusses with Jonathan Benedetti, John Martindale, Mike Hazeltine, and Caleb Rackley about how to avoid the arrows of the Bible and get closer to God.

  42. Question 59: Do Animals Have Souls?

    Does God wipe away every puppy dog's tears?

  43. Question 58: Can I Fall Away?

    Hebrews 6 paints a certain picture. There's only 2 ways to interpret it and neither of them are pretty.

  44. Question 57: Has Every Card Already Been Played?

    If there's nothing new under the sun, why are we still playing the game?

  45. Question 56: Who Killed Goliath?

    2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles disagrees about which giant Elhanan killed... it's kinda a big deal.

  46. Question 55: Was the Apostle Paul Racist?

    In his letter to Titus, the Apostle Paul seemingly makes an absolute statement about people from the island of Crete. Is that okay?

  48. Question 53: Does God Care More about Promises than People?

  50. Question 51: Is There More than One King of Kings?

    Is it okay the Bible borrows the title "King of Kings" from other Ancient Near East cultures?
