Rome didn't fall in 476 AD. It ended in 410. The empire just spent 66 years pretending it hadn't.Most history wants to count the years of decline for you. The question this channel keeps coming back to is different. I want to know what people stop believing — because that's the clock that actually matters.For 800 years, Rome had been militarily inviolate. Not because the Salarian Gate couldn't be broken, but because no one believed it could. On August 24, 410, it opened from the inside. Stilicho, Rome's master general — the half-Vandal commander who had held the entire Western Empire together for 20 years — had been executed two years earlier by a paranoid emperor who feared his competence more than he feared the barbarians. The Visigothic federate army Stilicho had commanded was massacred along with him, sending 30,000 Gothic veterans straight into Alaric's camp.By the time Alaric reached the gates of Rome, the institution behind the walls had already failed. The walls were just paperwork.The physical sack lasted three days. The damage to the city was modest. What collapsed wasn't stone. What collapsed was the load-bearing belief that had held the entire institutional order together — the belief that Rome was eternal, that serving the empire was a sane long-term bet, that the gods or the Christian God protected the city. After 410, no one in the Mediterranean world believed any of those things again. The Western Empire formally continued for 66 more years. But the working institutional Rome — the Rome people actually believed in — ended on a night in August 410.In this video:→ Stilicho: the half-Vandal master-general who held the Western Empire together for 20 years and got murdered by the emperor he served→ The three sieges of Rome — and the literal invoice the Roman Senate paid Alaric in pepper because it was the most liquid thing they had left→ Jerome's letter from Bethlehem in 412: "The city which had taken the whole world was itself taken"→ Augustine spent the next 16 years writing the City of God — 500,000 words — to construct a theological framework in which Rome was never eternal in the first place→ The 66-year tail: why the Western Empire formally continued until 476 even though the real collapse had already happenedCHAPTERS:00:00 Rome Didn't Fall in 47601:46 Stilicho: The Man Who Held the West Together04:52 The Murder That Made Everything Inevitable07:00 The First Invisible Transfer07:55 The Three Sieges (and the Pepper Invoice)09:30 The Salarian Gate Opens11:54 Jerome's Letter from Bethlehem13:51 The Theological Crisis17:06 Augustine Writes the City of God20:22 The 66-Year Tail25:02 Galla Placidia and the Category Collapse28:04 The Invisible Handover30:35 Three Patterns That Recur33:56 Same Playbook, Different Century

The Christian God is the only one called Father. Not a distant deity keeping score, but Abba - a deeply personal name that invites you into His embrace. __________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

​ @MindShift-Brandon  YouTube Channel is back with what he believes are several reasons the Christian God cannot exist. This time, the discussion focuses on divine emotions, jealousy, regret, and even memory in Heaven. If God experiences jealousy, regret, or other emotions, does that make Him less than perfect? Does divine regret imply a lack of foresight? And if people remember loved ones who are in Hell, can Heaven truly be a place of joy? In this episode, we examine Mindshift's arguments and explain why we believe they ultimately fail to undermine the Christian conception of God.

Formal vs. material cooperation with evil, Aquinas' Quinque Viae and the Christian God, prayer and more on today's Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

Study session scripture: Romans 8:1-14There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.Study session topics:Assurance of Hope Freedom from condemnation by the law (vv. 1-4) v. 1: a thesis and a summary -"therefore"--the biggest one yet No condemnation Points back to the first few chapters, summed up in 3:9-11 -"in Christ Jesus" Points back to Paul's discussion of being united to Christ in Ch. 5, continued in v. 2 Here we see all 3 persons of the Trinity active in salvation God the Father: Sends His Son to Earth and condemns sin in the flesh through Christ's death, thus justifying the Christian God the Son: Becomes like us, dies as the perfect sacrifice, and breaks the power of sin through His death God the Holy Spirit: Joins us to Christ in His death and resurrection, and gives us power to live a holy life In this passage we begin to see how our freedom from condemnation leads to a holy life -Holiness is the goal of justification Holiness consists of fulfilling the law's just demands Holiness is the work of the Holy Spirit Holiness is mandatory We see Christ illustrate how freedom from condemnation works in John 8:1-11Deliverance from our sinful natures (vv. 5-14) In vv. 5-8 Paul contrasts the unsaved person and the Christian The unsaved person is characterized in 4 ways: His thinking: his mind is set on fleshly things His state: spiritually dead His religion: anti-God His present condition: unable to please God The Christian is characterized in 2 ways: His thinking: set on what the Spirit desires His state: spiritually alive and at peace In vv. 9-11 Paul encourages his audience to examine themselves to assure them that they are included in God's new covenant The Christian's past (v. 9) -The Christian's present (v. 10) The Christian's future (v.11) -vv. 12-14 describe the process of sanctification as a moral imperative If you live like a non-Christian, you will die like a non-Christian--because you are not a Christian -If you live like a Christian--as only a true Christian can--you will live forever Study session audio: S4 E20: Romans 8:1-14

At the time of Diocletian's persecutions, he was a very old man, having served as a reader for sixteen years, then a deacon for twenty-eight years, and finally as a priest for thirty years, for a total of seventy-four years. The pagan judge put him in the Temple of Aesculapius, where large snakes were kept and worshiped as gods. Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends.   The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer," says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.

Which Voice do You Listen To? Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: 1 John 4:4-6 Episode Summary Pastor Michael opens with hilarious examples of recognizing text messages before seeing the sender's name (from the dreaded lowercase "k" from your wife to "Dearest Daddy" from your daughter who wants something). Through 1 John's warning about false teachers, he reveals that just as we recognize important people's voices, believers can learn to discern God's Voice from the world's voice in a noisy culture - because who you're loyal to is who you listen to. Key Points – Believers have overcome false teachers because the Holy Spirit in us is greater than any deception in the world – Understanding spiritual truth requires the Holy Spirit, not just academic Bible study - without the Spirit, Scripture seems like foolishness – False teachers speak like the world, so the world recognizes and embraces their message because it requires no accountability or change – Some lies sound Christian ("God wants you to be happy," "Faith is a tool to get what you want") making them especially dangerous – A version of spirituality that affirms everything you already wanted to do isn't from God - it's leading people into permanent darkness – The voice of God is captured in Scripture, and those who know God recognize His Voice while those who don't struggle to hear it Main Takeaway Who you're loyal to is who you listen to. In spiritual reality, there are only two voices: truth vs. error. The world's voice is loud, telling you everything you want to hear. God's Voice is quiet and steady, transforming you. Over time, you'll start to sound like, think like, and defend the voice you follow. If you belong to God, you'll be drawn to truth and error will make you uncomfortable. The culture is full of noise - we must spend time in Scripture and prayer to recognize Jesus's Voice. Memorable Quotes – "Who you're loyal to is who you listen to." – "The message gives away the messenger." – "God's people recognize God's voice." – "A version of spirituality that affirms everything you already wanted to do isn't from God." – "The world's voice is loud. The voice of truth is quiet and steady." – "Even if you never agree with us on the truth, we refuse to lie to you about the truth." Reflection Question What voice is shaping your life - the culture, social media, influencers, your own desires, or God's Word? Are you willing to replace one loud voice this week with God's Voice by listening to worship music instead of your usual playlist or reading Scripture before scrolling social media? Tune in to hear the relatable text message scenarios (including "Steve from Ohio" about your car's extended warranty), why prosperity gospel teaching centers on self and removes God's authority, and Pastor Michael's challenge to listen to worship songs in the car or read Scripture while trimming the weird long hairs in your eyebrows.

Here we cover two which involve asking why is the Christian God the answer out of all the other gods out there. Then we get to ask the question that takes all philosophers about 6 minutes to get to – how do we deal with ideas when it comes to that guy from Germany with a funny mustache. A really interesting response from both sides here.

It's Tuesday, March 24th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Nigerian Muslims chained 14-year-old Christian girl to tree for 138 days Radical Muslims are killing Nigerian Christians at a rate of 32 people per day, or 12,000 per year, according to the most recent data. About the same average number are being kidnapped. The stories are the most brutal in recorded history.   Truth Nigeria tells of a 14-year-old Christian girl named Eunice who was cruelly chained in the forest for 138 days, beaten daily, and starved.  She witnessed captives murdered and raped. Eunice's mother, Martha, was also held by the criminal group. She told TruthNigeria, “Whenever we tried to pray, they beat us harder and shouted that there is no Christian God.” This was one of 50 taped interviews. Tragically, the Nigerian government has registered zero interest in these criminal activities. The young woman and her mother are still being treated in a Kaduna hospital, unable to be discharged and unable to pay the bill. Truth Nigeria reports that “Eunice's frame is skeletal — collar bones jutting, arms wasted, eyes sunken into a gaunt face. Martha, [her mother,] is equally ravaged: cheeks hollowed; body stripped of flesh by five months of starvation. Neither can eat a full meal without vomiting. Neither can walk unassisted.” Pray for the poor, persecuted saints in Nigeria, Africa. According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Argentina's economy is thriving and inflation rate is going down Argentina's economy saw another 4.4% bump last year. Since Javier Milei's election to the presidency in 2022, the economy has soared by 9%. Impressively, Argentina's inflation rate dropped to 31% — the lowest in eight years.  China's economy is steaming ahead, leaving America & Japan behind China has edged itself into a top position in the world economy. For example, Chinese automakers have trounced Japan, producing nearly 27 million vehicles in global sales last year compared to Japan's sale of 25 million vehicles.  By way of background, Japan had held the top place since the year 2000.   If measured by purchasing power, China's economy is now 50% larger than the U.S. economy. Indeed, China passed the U.S. economy in 2016.

Spruce has faced persecution for her pro-life beliefs in the United Kingdom, and was arrested multiple times for silently praying near abortion mills.  Mastriano wrote on X, “She wasn't shouting. She wasn't blocking anyone. She wasn't holding signs. She was simply praying quietly in her mind.” Vaughan-Spruce responded, “This is a huge honor and such a kind and thoughtful gesture. Thank you to all those who recognize, uphold, and defend true liberty!”  Colossians 4:2-3 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains.” America's debt soars to $39 trillion Here in America, since the U.S. Congress lifted the debt ceiling last July — the U.S. Treasury debt has increased by another $2.8 trillion.  America's debt now stands at $39 trillion! The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio increased more in the fourth quarter of 2025. It now stands at a whopping 123%. That ratio has doubled since 2008. It took 200 years for America to achieve its first $1 trillion in debt back in 1981.  Unbelievably, the Trump administration has racked up another $2.8 trillion in just the last nine months. Liberty Univ. wants right to fire employees who reject Biblical standard Last week, Liberty University presented oral arguments at the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Zinski v. Liberty University, arguing for the right of a Christian college to hold to its biblical standards on employment decisions. The case involves a male employee who attempted to appear as a female while in the employment of the university. Liberty Counsel attorney Matt Staver said, the case is “fundamentally about whether religious institutions can maintain their identity and mission in their employment decisions,” and whether a Christian university “has the right to employ individuals whose beliefs and conduct align with its doctrinal teachings.”  The outcome of this case has the potential to establish whether religious institutions retain autonomy over their missions through employment decisions based on doctrinal standards. Federal employment law operates universally across all non-ministerial positions, regardless of an institution's religious beliefs. Actor Chuck Norris, who committed his life to Christ, died And finally, actor, martial arts pro, and conservative Christian commentator  Chuck Norris, passed away on March 19th. He confessed to living a dissolute lifestyle in the 1980s, when he said he had wandered from the faith. Chuck shared his Christian profession on the program “Praise the Lord” in 2004. Listen. NORRIS: “Unfortunately, in periods of my life, I did drift from the Lord, but the Lord never drifted from me. He stayed with me the whole time.” INTERVIEWER: “Amen.” NORRIS: “Yes. And I just praised God for that. And actually, when I met my beautiful wife here, you know, I was kind of living the Hollywood lifestyle. “One morning, I visited with her, and she went in there, and she was reading the Bible. And I go, ‘What are you doing?' She says, ‘I read the Bible every morning.' I said, ‘Really?' She says, ‘Why don't you sit down here and read it with me?' And that was the beginning of me coming back to the Lord.” INTERVIEWER: “Amen!” Chuck had five children and 13 grandchildren. He was 86 years old. Hebrews 9:27-28 says, “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, March 24, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Romans 12:1-2 — The purpose of the incarnation, the cross, and the resurrection is not to merely have individuals escape hell. The Christian will miss the glory of the person and work of Christ if they reduce salvation to fire insurance. In this sermon on Romans 12:1–2 titled “Renewal of the Mind (2),” regeneration, or new birth, is being transferred out of the kingdom of darkness, and transferred into the kingdom of God's beloved Son. This is what it means to be a Christian – God creates a new humanity. The Christian has new thoughts, new attitudes, and a new outlook on life. In short, their mind is changed. As the apostle Paul says succinctly, the Christian has a renewal of the mind. One misses the message of the entire New Testament if they miss the apostle Paul's teaching in this passage. Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds how important Paul's teaching is to the Christian life. As pilgrims on the journey, Christians say to themselves day by day, “I no longer belong to the darkness; I am of the people of God. I am of His kingdom.” By reminding themselves of these things, they view God, themselves, the world, and time itself in a completely different way. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones applies one of the most profound teachings on the doctrine of sanctification. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111

Episode 165Have you ever wondered why some people deconstruct not only their religion but also their entire faith in God, while others deconstruct aspects of organised religion yet retain a relationship with the divine or even with the Christian God?In this episode, I explore the distinction between deconstructing our notions of God and deconstructing the institutional aspects of faith like Christianity or Catholicism. Drawing from personal experience, I discuss how our individual deconstruction journeys unfold differently based on the depth of our personal encounters with God versus what we've been taught through religious tradition.In this episode I discuss• The difference between deconstructing religion vs. deconstructing God• How personal mystical experiences shape our faith journey• How conflicting imprints about God in our nervous systems can create an insecure, “disorganised” or confused attachment with God• Understanding "spiritual but not religious" in the context of deconstruction• The apophatic (mystical) tradition in ChristianityWatch this recording on YouTube.CHAPTER MARKERS0:00 Why do some lose faith in God and some do not?1:32 The Commenter's Argument3:31 Deconstruction Beyond Intellect8:13 James Finley's Story14:01 Spiritual But Not Religious17:42 When Personal Encounters Make God Real Beyond Doubt21:32 Conflicting Imprints of God in the Nervous System25:49 When Faith Depends on Constructs41:30 Beyond the Visible Church42:30 The Apophatic TraditionSupport the showSUBSCRIBE | FOLLOW | SUPPORTSocial Media:Follow Ann Yeong on Instagram or Facebook.Newsletter:Subscribe to Begin Again for Ann's updates and reflections.Support the Show:Monthly Support (starting at USD$3)One-time DonationLeave a Review:If this podcast has blessed you, please leave a review by clicking here.

Today Inilek and I have a friendly debate and discuss the transcendental necessity for why the Christian God must exists!

When life goes from bad to worse you might be tempted to think you're really not saved. It's during those times of suffering we need reassurance of our sure salvation, and First Peter provides just that. If you're truly a Christian God wants you to know you're salvation is secure and nothing or no one can take it away. Today on a Daily Walk that encouraging truth comes to our attention, as pastor John Randall revisits 1 Peter chapter one.

Today Mr Michael and I discuss are there any proofs for the Christian God !

Today Special guest Hugh Crockett (atheist) and I discuss rather or not the if Christian God is the necessary starting point of all rationality!

Recently, I've written in the Washington Times and shared here on YT about Islam and Zohran Mamdani's decision to be sworn into office with his right hand on the Quran. Some critics, however, responded to my column with some indignation regarding the Quran. "But what about your Bible?” they asked. “It promotes slavery, misogyny, military conquest, and the execution of non-believers, as well. Most of this stuff is also allowed if not encouraged by your Christian God, so who are you to judge Muslims?” How should we respond?

The episode argues that God isn't just the conclusion of a debate; He is the platform upon which the debate stands. You can't even say "There is no God" without leaning on the order and logic that only the Christian God provides.

Today we discuss 6 preconditions of intelligence and show how each one points to the Christian God of scripture .

Episode Summary: Christians often think theology is only for scholars or the spiritually elite. But this simply isn’t true. While theology is, in one sense, an academic discipline, it can also be understood as the art of knowing our creator. God invites us to know him, as we are fully known by him. Theology goes beyond the study of the character of God, and into the art of knowing the One who already knows and intimately loves His believers. Flash Theology leads readers through thirty-one bite-size truths, highlighting key aspects of who God is and what that means for the reader. Theology is important for everyone, but if it’s too dense, it can be hard to digest. Today we’re going to talk about biblical literacy and why it’s important to learn who God is. Quotables from the episode: We all carry a theological bias. So, we all enter into a variety of conversations and our own circumstances within our life, carrying a bias towards who we think God is. And that is based on a whole bunch of different things, how we are raised, different things you hear over time, the media you consume, the church you attend, all these different facets of how we view God and the way we absorb information can help us view God biblically or not biblically at all. I believe the Westernized church and social media has created a self-help gospel that is void of God’s truth. That word is associated, as you already mentioned, is associated with academics and scholars. So, there is kind of hefty price tag to it, but theology is simply the study of God. So, then if you open up the Bible, you are studying the Christian God. So, everybody that opens up the Bible is a “theologian.” Now of course there are the academic theologians but I like to say we're all theologians and we should take ownership of that because that helps us realize it is a worthy pursuit to understand God and his text. We miss out on so much because we're leaving it to those that are called to lead us, right? We're saying, okay, which is good. We should trust our leaders, but we should also question if something actually biblically accurate? I love if I go to teach the Bible somewhere. I love when people do their digging afterwards and make sure that I actually taught the text properly. We should have a hunger and an understanding to pursue a depth of who God is, and that's not always going to be accurate in the different areas of consumption, like those 20 -second reels on social media that we come across. Through Genesis to Revelation, there's a line of scripture that's happening, and it is revealing Christ all throughout scripture, who Christ is, is being revealed. God knows us already, right? So it's really this question of do we embrace the fact that he fully knows us? Do we understand the depth of his love? And I can only imagine that it's a consistently, we're walking out understanding the depths of his love until we're face to face with Jesus. **So when we can embrace the truth that we are fully known by a God who loves us, by a God that is for us, by a God that knows the beginning from the end, it creates this stabilizing truth in our life that will carry us when our circumstances are out of control, when the world feels like it's mass chaos, when something comes at us, when we're not prepared, like there is a stabilizing truth that God is good, He is sovereign, He is my Savior (for those that declare Christ as their Lord and Savior.) And that stabilizing truth in itself is something that will help you continue to move forward until we are again face to face with Jesus. God has always fully known us. And when we can really start to accept that and receive that, I think that's when we really start to live in the abundant life that Jesus came to give. Who else loves us despite knowing our every fault? Nobody but God. I think that's really the stepping stone to walk into that abundant life that Jesus came to give. One of the biggest wrestling matches I’ve seen in ministry is people understanding God as Father. Sometimes we have to have this wrestling match with the Holy Spirit to be able to fully embrace the fullness of what that means to understand God as Father. So often our view of God as Father is directly impacted by our relationship with the parental figures that we're in our life. And the problem with that is that we're relating to a perfect God using a flawed metric. But the thing that has been most helpful in working with patients is helping them explore the fact that even if they were abandoned by their earthly father or their earthly father was not a kind person, God as father specifically chose us, made the loving choice that he wanted us to be a child. I remember I was driving around one day in Hollywood and it's just, it's such a fun city because almost everyone there is like dreamers. They moved to Hollywood because they have a big dream to pursue. So I'm driving around listening to worship music. Just I'm in love with the city and I felt this deep conviction from God where he was like, “you've been making this calling, you've been making this all about yourself.” And it was that like gut punch of like, oh gosh, I better pay attention. And what I felt him saying in my spirit was, "You've been making this all about you. This really has nothing to do with you. Do you trust that I can fill the spaces between you and this dream that I've called you to pursue?" So of course, I ugly cried, I repented. I said, "I'm so sorry, God." And I've tried to be faithful with what he's asked me to do. The enemy makes it all about us, because he doesn't want it to be all about God. I wonder how many people are listening today, who have felt the unction of God calling them into something and self-doubt has interfered. Friends, if that is you, if God is calling you into something, he's going to equip you. He's going to walk with you. He's going to train you. He's going to bring along mentors. He's going to provide the finances. Listen to Jenny's story. It's not all about you. It's about him. Dig in and also invite the Holy Spirit into your reading process because like I said, we can we can read and or listen to the text, but it's one thing to say, “Holy Spirit make this come alive and show me how to apply this to my life as well.” I love that last recommendation because when Jesus left, he said, “I'm going to send one to remind you of all truth.” He was talking about the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit can't remind us of truth that we haven't already taken in. So, when you're reading the word, do just as Jenny says and invite the Holy Spirit to teach you truth. And those words are going to come alive off the page. When we understand the Gospel and who triune God really is, the end result is knowing and enjoying God more! Theology and getting to know God doesn’t have to be intimating or boring! Start where you are and learn to wrestle with God’s word. Don’t just read it, but make time to study it. It’s life-changing! Scripture References: Numbers 23:19 ESV God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd engages two Georgia Tech students on issues like sin, morality, and the afterlife. Listen along as real, street-level evangelism is done to God's glory. Segment 1 • Philip admits the Christian God makes the most sense but refuses to submit because he doesn't want his lifestyle to change. • He confesses he knows God's rules, knows they're real, and still chooses to live how he wants and “take his chances with death.” • Todd uses God's law (lying, lust, blasphemy) to show Philip he's not “basically good,” but a willful rebel against a God he knows exists. Segment 2 • Philip clearly says he understands hell, believes he'd go there, and is still content to keep enjoying sin “for a season.” • He admits he's weighing Jesus versus his current pleasures and, for now, deliberately chooses sin, thinking he can always reconsider later. • Todd warns that greater knowledge brings greater judgment, prays that Philip's conscience will torment him in his sin, and pleads with him to see Jesus as better than “fun” and temporary pleasure. Segment 3 • Scott, sporting royal blue hair and loving the attention, says he'll only conform to laws he personally deems just—rejecting God's laws as unfair. • He argues that if God created people with their flaws, God is responsible for their sins and has no right to punish them. • Scott calls the God of the Bible evil, citing genocides and hell as proof, and leans on Dawkins-style thinking while insisting humans aren't basically bad. Segment 4 • Todd shares the tribal-king story where the ruler takes the lashes his guilty son deserves, using it as a picture of Jesus taking God's wrath in our place. • He explains that sin against an infinitely holy God deserves infinite punishment, and that the cross is how God remains both just and merciful. • Scott still rejects eternal punishment and substitution as unjust, while Todd urges listeners to see the cross as the greatest act of kindness ever offered to a guilty sinner. ___ Thanks for listening!

The book Answer to Job was the one work Jung said he would never change. In it he “psychoanalyses” Yahweh, challenges the Christian God, insists that God, across our evolution, has been entering into humanity as a unconscious complex of opposites requiring integration through the human psyche. This is the purpose of human consciousness and this book was Jung's bible. Like the Christian bible it ends with an apocalypse – an unveiling.

This episode of the Tikvah Podcast might be the first dedicated entirely to Christian theology. Why would a Jewish podcast devote so much attention to a theological debate that took place among Christians in the 2nd century? First, because it contributed to the canonization of Christian scripture and defined forever the Christian attitude toward the Hebrew Bible. But more importantly, because we are witnessing today the reemergence of some of the very ideas that the Church fathers of that time declared heretical. The figure at the center of this conversation is a Christian thinker name Marcion, who lived from 85 to 160 CE. He taught that there were not one but two gods: the creator God of the Hebrew Bible—a violent, vengeful, tribal demiurge—and the true God that is revealed to humankind by Jesus. To Marcion, the Christian God alone is a God of love and mercy. Therefore, he concluded, Christianity should detach itself entirely from the Hebrew Bible. Most people have heard some version of the idea that the Hebrew God is vindictive, unforgiving, and particularistic, and that the Christian God teaches grace and mercy. But the notion that they're radically distinct has now returned. The prominent Internet talk-show host Tucker Carlson has spoken on numerous occasions about disconnecting the Hebrew Bible from the New Testament. On the August 25, 2025 episode of his show, he explained that he had just read what Christians called the Old Testament and "was pretty shocked by—as I think many people who read it are—by the violence in it, and shocked by the revenge in it, the genocide in it." Then, in conversation with Megyn Kelly on November 6, he said that "Western civilization is derived from the New Testament. It is based on Christian ethics. And the core difference between the West and the rest of the world—not just Israel but every other country—is that we don't believe in collective punishment because we don't believe in blood guilt." It's important to draw a distinction between Marcionism and the doctrine of supersessionism, historically accepted by some Christian theologians. Supersessionism claims that God's covenant with Israel has been replaced, or superseded, by the universal redemption brought about by Jesus. Marcion, by contrast, says something else: that the God who established a covenant with the children of Israel is not the same as the Christian God at all, but a lesser, wicked deity. The idea that the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament are motivated by different ethics and aim at different moral teachings is not especially controversial. After all, that is a conventional Jewish understanding of the New Testament. But the early church fathers decisively rejected Marcion's ideas: both his dualism and his attempt to remove the story of Israel from the Christian Bible. One, Tertullian, wrote five books refuting him. Another foundational Christian thinker, Irenaeus, declared Marcion a heretic. By rejecting his teachings, Christianity made a defining choice to accept that the God of creation and the God of Christian redemption are, for Christians, one and the same. And because one of the most popular anti-Jewish voices is sounding some of those very notes right now, a deeper, Christian context seems necessary to help Jews understand the nature of the new assault against them. To this end, the Christian philosopher R.J. Snell joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to explain that context. Snell is the director of academic programs at Princeton University's Witherspoon Institute and the editor in chief of its publication, Public Discourse. He delves into what Marcion believed, why the church rejected him, and what was at stake in that rejection—then and now.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies. This episode we watched Signs and next time we'll be back with The Village. Signs is a movie about ex-preacher Graham Hess and his faith in god, which is put to the test when his wife is killed as a pedestrian in a car accident. He loses his faith, leaves the Church, and retreats emotionally inside the self-soothing comfort of atheism, or perhaps fledgling nihilism. Unfortunately for him, in M Night's world, God is real, losing faith is wrong, and raising your kid while atheist is toxic. When the earth is suddenly subject to a widespread alien invasion threat, Graham's lack of faith is shattered by God's Grace, and the true extent of His meticulously planned fate is undeniable. In this movie written in 2000-2001, starting production in September 2001, and released in summer of 2002, we find an almost supernaturally early example of the post 9/11 movie. A movie about media, a Christian God, securing borders against foreign threats, pulled from the percolating subconscious of America.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel meets Phillip and Scott at Georgia Tech and explores topics around purgatory, capitalism, sin, and God's laws. Todd challenges Philip, who maintains dual French-American citizenship, on his beliefs about capitalism versus socialism and his reluctant acceptance of God, while addressing Scott's skepticism on God's justice and the nature of sin. These candid discussions reveal important insights into morality, belief, and human nature. Segment 1: • Philip admits he believes the Christian God makes the most sense but rejects Him to keep living how he wants. • Todd shows Philip that rejecting Jesus for “fun now” is choosing sin over eternal life, urging him to see Jesus as better than temporary pleasures. • Philip acknowledges he's choosing sin knowingly and is willing to face the consequences, even hell, to keep his current lifestyle. Segment 2: • Todd clarifies that Jesus' offer isn't just about avoiding hell but receiving kindness and mercy despite rebellion. • Philip admits he knows Jesus offers life but still rejects Him, saying he's fine with his choices for now. • Todd warns Philip he will face greater judgment for rejecting truth he fully knows, urging him to consider Jesus' kindness before it's too late. Segment 3: • Scott claims God is unjust for punishing humans He created, arguing people are like programmed robots with no choice. • Todd explains the standard of justice is based on the One sinned against (God), making every sin infinitely serious. • Scott insists the God of the Bible is evil, while Todd shows God's justice and kindness in sending Jesus to satisfy wrath and offer mercy. Segment 4: • Todd shares the “tribal king” analogy to explain how God satisfies justice while showing mercy by taking punishment Himself. • Scott insists God should simply forgive without punishment, rejecting the concept of divine justice requiring payment for sin. • Conversation ends with Todd urging Scott to see humanity's sinfulness and God's kindness, parting respectfully but with Scott unconvinced. ___ Thanks for listening!

Greg answers questions about how to determine which religion is true, why God wouldn't just write his own book, how we know the Christian God is the real God, and whether there's an objective moral system or we're simply acting to avoid pain.   Topics: How would you determine which religion is true and which is not? What's more likely: that God doesn't exist and men invented religion to control people, or that God depended on men to write a book with ridiculous laws? (02:00) How should I answer my friend who is asking, “How do I know the Christian God is the real God who created everything?” (25:00) There is no such thing as an objective moral system. We're simply acting to avoid pain, and God isn't necessary for that. Also, Christianity is immoral.
