United States4 months ago - Keep discussing the Bible not Gaza
I love this podcast but your guests discussing Gaza are delusional. There is nothing that Israel has been accused of that could justify Hamas on October 7th. Hamas is pure evil and the world would be a better place if such evil can be eliminated.
Love your enemies is a personal injunction not a prescription for America or Israel loving Iran and their proxies.

This podcast is a gift. It sets an example of how to listen carefully to thinkers from different perspectives without fear that they will undermine our confidence in God’s Word as divine revelation.
Apple Podcasts5td2seekUnited States8 months ago - Bible believing seminary professors
It is nice to find professors who believe the Bible instead of feeling a need to be accepted by the rest of woke academia. They so often offer deep insights that incorporate the whole Bible into a unified collection pointing to Jesus.
