  • Oneness Pentecostal Debate

    Love the podcast guys! With the La Luz de Mundo podcast I heard a lot about Oneness Pentecostal (Apostolic) influence. I would love if to hear you guys to head to head with the guys on the Apostolic Classroom podcast. They are out of Indianapolis. I’ve been around both trinitarian and oneness believers… I think categorizing them as “modalist” is an uneducated under-simplification. Think you all could have an in-depth conversation.

    ‘ A lack of evidence is no evidence ‘

    I would investigate the questionable deviant past of your guests before you host them as truth, lol.

  • Cultish church running a anti cult podcast

    These guys are so deceptive, I listened to many podcasts here and never picked up on the fact that they themselves belong to a very cultish church and support and agree with guys like Doug Wilson. This is the quintessential pot calling the kettle black.

Q: Chris, when you watched this documentary, what were some of the first things that came to your mind initially in that first episode?
