Understanding the Bible

Happy Independence Day! I hope you get to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America with lots of friends, family, joy, and fireworks! (Or guns and blowing things up, whatever floats your boat!)America was founded because of the courage of young men in their 20's and 30's and 40's who believed in the creator God of the Bible and the principles of freedom found in it.Listen to this episode today to remember and celebrate the liberty we have in Christ and the freedom our brave men and women in uniform have fought for, since 1776!#Freedom #liberty #1776 #USA #IndependenceDay #4thofJuly #fireworks

If you think the Bible isn't interesting, you have to listen to this episode. It's got armies, talking animals, angels, magic, sacrifice, justice and a whole lot more!Some of the highlights:What is an actual curse according to the Bible?Are cusswords the same as cursing?Does God actually speak audibly to non believers?Israel was a pretty big deal back in the Old Testament, over 3000 years ago and the proof is in the names, the kings, the countries, the cities, and historical records of all the things they did.#Balaam'sDonkey #Balaam #numbers #israel #magic #BlessingsandCursings #cussing

Jobs response to his friends was multi-faceted:1. He rebuked their lies2. He maintained his innocents3. He maintained his faith in God4. He called them out for being wicked and treating him like an enemy.Sometimes those who profess to be "people of God" or friends, are not really good people. Jesus said, "you shall know them by their fruits". Jesus called people out for being fake to.Don't allow yourself to be gaslit. Stand up for yourself. Turn to God when you are going through horrible things.Listen today for some encouragement, especially if you are going through a tough time. "There is nothing new under the sun".- Ecclesiastes#job #eliphaz #bildad #Zophar #goodvs.evil #hypocrite #church #friends #TrueFriends #Job'sFriends

What does the Bible say? How do we know it is accurate? How do we know it is the actual words that God had written down and not a poor copy from a monk with an agenda 500 years after Jesus?Let me give you some actual evidence, historically proven facts, and indisputable reality about the Bible that we read today. Listen today and gain some confidence in your faith.We don't have to be a doubting Thomas when Jesus is showing us the proof right in front of our eyes.#BibleEvidence #ancientTexts #Torah #HebrewBible #Jesus #ProofofGod

The story of Job starts with unfairness, danger, disaster, and despair. But it doesn't end there. God always has a purpose and there is much wisdom to be learned from Job's story.This is the story of Job's Friends and what they thought of him and the conversations they had with Job during the death of his children and his loneliness and depression."In all this, Job sinned not." - How are we supposed to respond when disaster strikes and it appears that all is lost?Listen today and leave your comments afterwards.

Immigrants or Invaders? Deportation or Citizenship?Traitors to the country or caring socialists?Assimilation or Culture bearers?You might be surprised what the Bible says about immigration. This episode started out as just a reading of the book of Numbers, but something told me that I needed to talk about these verses a little more. I hope this makes you re-evaluate your stance on politics and immigration and I hope you know that God wants you to help protect your country, your freedom, and the future for your children.#immigration #massmigration #islam #culturalJihad #invasion #numbers #moses #sojourner #strangerintheLand

There is evidence for God in History. This episode goes into detail on the nation of Israel, Palestine (a region of land that has referred to the land of the Jews for almost 2000 years), and the historical evidence for Jesus.There is way too much evidence to go into it all, but suffice it to say, that Jesus is the absolute MOST provable historical figure in human history.Listen to this series today and learn how to be absolutely secure in your faith!

But do you know WHY Job suffered? Do you understand what was going on in Heaven, in the World at that time, and in Job's mind?This series dives deep into the story of one of the most misunderstood stories of the Bible.

The conclusion with tons of Bible verses to back up the different proofs for God's existence.

This episode covers the 8 basic philosophical proofs for the existence of God.I also delve into a little of Socrates, Plato, and Thomas Aquinas philosophy on God. I learned a few things and have a working theory on Socrates if you would like to hear it.Listen today to find out what some of the ancient philosophers thought of God and how that lines up with the Bible!#philosophy #ProofofGod #Godexists #plato #Socrates #ThomasAquinas #ChurchFathers

This episode explains what philosophy is and delves into multiple philosophies such as ethics, morality, logic, etc. In addition I outline the 8 basic philosophical arguments for God.This sets up the basis for having a philosophical discussion by talking about the laws of logic and what logical fallacies are. In order to have a productive discussion about anything, you have to agree on reality, absolute truth, and logic. Otherwise you end up feeling like you've been in a conversation with a chicken trying to play chess while explaining square circles.It just doesn't work without truth, logic, and reality.Please listen today and tune in for the next episode where I talk about Socrates, Plato, Thomas Aquinas and more!#philosophy #logic #truth #absolutetruth #Plato #Aristotle #socrates #ThomasAquinas #God #doesGodexist #reality #ethics #morality #logic #goodvsEvil

Final part in the series on Wisdom. This is a reading of the book of Proverbs chapter 29-31 in the King James Version.#VirtuousWoman #Proverbs #KingLemuel #Solomon #wisdom

I love philosophy, science, and history and it is very interesting to me that the Bible has been proven to hold true regarding science, history, and the human experience; yet when it comes to the supernatural, people question it. When I respect someone for speaking the truth consistently, being intellectually honest, holding a high moral code, and being accurate on every topic discussed, then I tend to believe them or at least respect their opinion when they speak on a different topic. People don't do that with the topic of God and the Bible, they instead choose to dismiss it out of hand.Today starts the new series on Proof of God's existence.

This is a simple reading of Proverbs Chapters 26-28 in the King James Version with some minor commentary throughout.I provide an explanation of one of the commonly mistaken "contradictions" in the Bible in Chapter 26 where two verses say to "answer a fool" and "answer NOT a fool" right next to each other.Please listen today and leave your thoughts and comments.#BibleReading #Proverbs #KingJamesVersion #wisdom #logic

What does the Bible say about Circumcision? If you have a baby boy born in 2026, should you circumcise your son?Let's not talk about the idiots that don't know if he is a son or not, let's stay on topic here! There is a huge movement in the U.S.A. to discredit anything that comes from the Bible. Historically circumcision is a religious act that all seem to stem from the Old Testament, even though many countries around the world practice it for non religious reasons. There are Mom groups all over the place who fight against circumcision so this is becoming a more relevant topic in our culture.If you have kids, want to have kids, or have concerns yourself about this topic; please listen right now and share this podcast.#circumcision #genitalmutilation #gender #infantsafety #jewishfaith #moses

Many churches talk about abortion without covering the full problem. Several generations of Americans have grown up hearing only that pregnancy can be stopped before birth without any consequences.American girls have heard their whole life that abortion is not wrong, it is their choice, and that nobody is harmed by an abortion. In fact, often they are told it is their RIGHT and it can only help them and their families until they are truly ready to have a child.I am sure that millions of young girls have had an abortion and truly believed what the media, politicians, school teachers, and the world tells them. They cannot psychologically ever admit that they were lied to or they would be admitting that they murdered the most innocent of human lives, a small child. Most humans can never face such a reality. This is why they fight so hard for abortions for all, my body my choice, and why they hate any pro life person like Charlie Kirk or Christians, or anyone else. It is much easier to hate "someone who is trying to take away my rights" then to admit that you brutally tortured and killed a child.Let's talk about What the Bible says about someone who truly did not intend to kill someone.#cityofRefuge #murder #abortion #pro-life #pro-choice #mybodymychoice

A reading of Proverbs 13-15 in the King James Version.Wisdom comes from God. If a verse stands out to you in some way, stop listening and look up that verse. Read it several times and pray that God will give you wisdom to understand it. Then think about it and read it several times throughout the day.If you know Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit will give you wisdom about that verse, far greater than what I can teach you. Read the Bible. Read the Bible. Read the Bible!Happy New Year! Instead of a typical resolution why don't you pick a book of the Bible this year to learn about?#Proverbs #wisdom #GodlyWisdom #BibleReading #NewYearsResolution #HappyNewYear

Regardless of your thoughts over what the USA did to Venezuela on January 3rd, 2026; the real question is, "What does the Bible say?"There are good and bad governments. There are good and bad people/presidents. There are good and bad forms of government. A short review of history makes it clear that socialism, marxism, and communism, ALWAYS lead to murder and starvation of massive numbers of people.Nobody can deny that dictators/presidents that run over citizens with tanks are worse than Presidents that try to do what is best for his own citizens.Regardless of your political persuasion or feelings, let's take a step back and look at what the Bible actually says about things like this.Listen now and please leave your comments.#PresidentTrump #Maduro #Venezuela #Capitalism #socialism #GoodvsEvil

This episode is the Introduction to the Get Wisdom Series. This goes over the difference between Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge. In order to exercise wisdom, one has to have a discernment and understanding of what to do with the knowledge that you have. So the first lesson to be learned is how to get knowledge. All Truth is God's Truth, meaning all things that are truth, to include the natural (science, facts, logic, the physical things of this world) and the supernatural (theology, angels, and God), stem from God and are defined by God. God created everything with a specific order and the laws of nature and physics that simply cannot be ignored. In addition to these natural laws, God has moral, ethical, and supernatural laws that cannot be ignored or changed as well. Proverbs 1:7 - "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge". This tells me that we need to start at the beginning of the things God wants us to know, the book of Genesis...#Theology #knowledge #Truth #Wisdom #understanding #creation #science
