Does Jesus Hate Religion?
January 23rd, 2012

In this podcast, Jim examines the popular viral video from Jefferson Bethke, “Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus”. Did Jesus really come to abolish religion as Bethke claims?

Podcast Number Two Hundred Thirty-Nine

If DNA contains “information”, where did this information come from? What is “information” in the first place, and can it come from anything other than an intelligent source? Jim also answers listener email related to the nature of truth and the role of evidence and faith.

Podcast Number Two Hundred Thirty-Eight

In this episode, Jim reads a recent article from the Huffington Post that claims that the ID Movement is dead and should never have been embraced by Christians. Is ID legitimate “science”? What is the role between ID and “science”? Jim also answers listener email related to the trustworthy nature of the Gospel accounts, how to respond to skeptics and the authorship of the Old Testament.

Podcast Number Two Hundred Thirty-Seven

Why would a loving God require a gruesome death on the cross? How could God do such a thing to an innocent man? In this podcast, Jim addresses these concerns from listeners and also addresses Genesis 3:15. Is this passage really a prediction of the coming Messiah? Jim also examines the role of Luke's Gospel and it's value alongside the eyewitness accounts of Mark, Matthew and John.
