Since the church is generally opposed to abortion, people tend to assume that the Bible is likewise opposed. However, this is not the case. The Bible never directly weighs in on the topic. Here is my short video addressing this fact. Following are verses related to the topic, but not explicitly addressing it. Bible verses…
In response to a short by Inspiring Philosophy, I created this short about the Book of Enoch. Is the Book of Enoch scripture? There’s no doubt that the Book of Enoch is uncomfortable for Christians today. There are both bizarre and heretical teachings found in it. But one cannot escape the fact that it clearly…
In this video I will be responding to Inspiring Philosophy and his video on the question. Here I will summarize my video. For the full story, the video is posted immediately below. Mike Jones says we are looking at prophecy the wrong way. He makes 3 specific points about how prophecies were viewed in the…
In the video I did on this topic, I look at a sermon preached by James White on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. I agree with several of his points against his critics, but disagree with others. For a full explanation, please watch the video. In this article I will simply break down the…

The only scriptural way that I am aware of to make the claim that Jesus is a descendant of David is to dismiss the virgin birth as mythical. This is fair to do since the gods impregnating human women is a standard feature in ancient biographies.
I decided to purchase this book after watching many of Dr. Michael Heiser’s videos on youtube. As a Noahide, I have an obvious interest in Tanakh. To that extent, this book was right in my wheelhouse. However, Dr. Heiser is a Christian. Thus, it is also out of my comfort zone. Why did I ultimately…
Pastor Mike Winger finds Isaiah 53 to be a convincing argument for Jesus in Tanakh. He’s right about one thing. In a Christain culture, anyone reading the passage will find Jesus in it. However, I wondered if the same holds true in the time of Jesus. What did people believe then? Of course, the New…
Recently I picked up Dr. Michael Heiser’s book “Unseen Realm.” For those interested, a review will follow in the future. However, I want to focus on one passage that relates to our topic here. Is it appropriate to read the New Testament back into Tanakh? Obviously, I feel that it is not. I was surprised…
