  • Truth of the Bible

    This podcast is my very favourite one. I love the Israel stories, the Bible Q&A, just every bit of it.

    I have learned so much of Israel through this podcast. I heard you’re offering the book “Should Christians support Israel?”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Spiritual War Against Israel
Q: What are some key clues in Scripture that reveal Israel's future?
Recurring prophecies in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel are cited, with a pattern of judgment followed by restoration, and an ongoing belief that God will restore Israel in the end times, supported by Daniel and Revelation imagery.
Faith Affirming Findings
Q: Could Catholics who believe in Jesus be saved if they also hold to the tradition of baptism and works?
The host and Dr. Peterman suggest that salvation rests on confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His death and resurrection; other beliefs, while important, do not negate that core salvation promise.
Understanding Judaism
Q: Do you believe in eternal security or conditional security?
A balanced view is discussed: ongoing faith matters, with true believers showing life change and persevering faith; security comes from enduring faith, not merely a past prayer.
Five Surprising Hebrew Words
Q: When did Paul actually see Jesus as an apostle, given the Damascus Road experience?
Paul asserts he saw Jesus and also emphasizes his post-resurrection witness, explaining his apostleship was validated by his encounter and subsequent mission.
The Old Testament Handbook
Q: Was Saul born again when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him?
No, Saul was not born again; born again is a new covenant promise available through Jesus, and Saul's experience was a temporary empowerment rather than indwelling salvation.
