What answers can we give skeptics who think that the early Christians exaggerated stories about Jesus and made him out to be something he was not? Dr. Pitre takes an in-depth look at three particular New Testament passages that show Jesus's revelation of his divinity and his disciples' understanding that Jesus is the one true God.

Dan Driscoll // Luke 10:25-37
I adore these perspectives of Jesus: "Did Jesus express views about government? The Politics of Jesus, a book by Dr. Obery Hendricks says yes: Jesus wanted to alleviate “systematic causes” of suffering. He wanted to change the power structures to benefit the most vulnerable in society, the ones “whose welfare concerned Jesus the most.” Hendricks points to events in Jesus's life as evidence that Jesus was both a political revolutionary and a spiritual revolutionary, including these three: 1. While at the Temple in Galilee, Jesus unrolled a scroll of scripture written by the prophet Isaiah and “found the place where it is written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners …, to set the oppressed free ….'” Jesus then told those present that “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Hendricks explains that the word translated above as “poor” is ptochois in the Greek original, a word indicating “a collective or class identity”–thus, Jesus wanted to deliver good news to what some might call the “lower class” or the people who are poor. 2. Jesus said to pray, “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. …” In his prayer, Jesus asks God to replace government on Earth with the doing of God's will on Earth, per Hendricks. 3. Jesus taught that “Blessed are the peacemakers.” It is the peacemakers that will be “called the children of God.” The New Living Translation expresses this teaching as “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.” Jesus Said Something One could argue that these events—delivering the “good news to the poor,” etc.—are only spiritual references. Jesus is just proclaiming the good news (to the poor and everyone) that God's grace is available through Jesus, for example. One could also disagree with Hendrick's interpretation. Probably recognizing such a debate, Hendricks begins the wrap-up of his introduction with a reminder about Jesus. Jesus said something: “… I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, … I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'” They will ask “‘Lord, when did we see you hungry … or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'” When Jesus said this, was he referring only to those we see nearby and who are like us, or was he also referring to those we see across our nation and around the world via internet video, television, and the newspaper? Did he mean that we should do such things–like feed the hungry, invite in the stranger, and care for the sick and the incarcerated–in our individual capacity only or also by using our power as a voter and advocate? Lord, when did I see you hungry or sick or incarcerated or in need of being invited in? Oh, that was you in the news? I didn't recognize you. You should have said something." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Christians who told you that you supposed to worship Jesus? Did Jesus say he was God in flesh? And why are you calling him Jesus because that wasn't his name? It's time to set the record straight on this Jesus worshipping mess. 347-850-8030 is the call in number for questions or comments.
We welcome guest pastor Rev. Andrew Preus from Trinity Lutheran Church in Guttenberg and St. Paul Lutheran Church in McGregor, Iowa. He and host Kip Allen dive into the following questions: Do we overthink the Bible? Do things ever not translate well into English? What is the message of the Bible? How do you have faith like a child? What’s the most difficult question a parishioner has asked? Does the Hebrew word "fear" have a different connotation than the English word? What’s the easiest question to answer as a pastor? Why did the centurion in John 13 humble himself before Jesus? Did Jesus recognize the authority of Rome to crucify him? Send us your questions! Email letstalk@kfuo.org with your questions for our guest pastors.
How substantial is the evidence for "James the Just"? We are told when Elkanah and Samuel are introduced that Elkanah (and therefore Samuel) are from Ephraim. Later in Chronicles, he has become a Levite. Did the author of Chronicles invent his Levite pedigree to co-opt him for the Levites? Is it reasonable to think Chronicles is preserving an earlier version of the Daniel character than we have now in the Book of Daniel? Why were the Genesis Patriarchs and Matriarchs so urgent that their children not marry Hittites? What do you think of Ken Schei's thesis that the Ebionites were the original Christians, but Paul succeeded in destroying their religion and usurping authority to lead the followers of Jesus? Did Jesus, as portrayed in the Gospels, think the Kingdom of God was imminent? Was he wrong about this? If He thought the end of the world was at hand, why would he bother preaching liberation for the poor? Aren't many if not all the miracle stories about Jesus besting some older or contemporary God? What do you make of the story of a first-century "copy" of Mark found in an Egyptian papyrus burial mask?
Does the Bible support the pre-existence (preexistence) of Jesus? Did Jesus exist before He was incarnated in human form?
