  • 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?”

    You are probably not shopping to Canada?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Idiotic Things People Did in the Bible
Q: Is Paul talking about the glorification of the saints in Romans 8:18-23?
Yes, the discussion centers on the future resurrection and glorified bodies as the fulfillment of redemption.
Fighting Terrorism with the Law
Q: Should I tithe or give an offering from money that we have inherited?
The guest suggested evaluating personal conscience and church guidance, noting that giving is voluntary and should be based on heartfelt generosity rather than a strict rule, while acknowledging the Mosaic tithing framework as a historical reference rather than a modern mandate.
Connecting Israel of the Bible with the Israel of Today
Q: What are the three New Year resolutions given to Joshua on the banks of the Jordan?
Be strong and courageous; maintain a settled conviction about God's plan; be faithful to God's law and meditate on it; and rely on God's presence to empower success.
I’ll Be Your Server
Q: Can you tell me how we as Christians can know which promises of God are meant for the Jewish people and which are pertinent to us as non-Jewish believers?
Answers focus on context: identify who is being spoken to, whether the promise targets Gentile Christians, Messianic Jews, or Israel as a people, and recognize overlaps where Gentiles may also benefit; Romans 11 and Isaiah 59 are cited to illustrate the inclusive yet specific framing of promises.
Connecting Deeper with the Holy Land
Q: Was Jesus baptized twice?
The guest explains that the voice from heaven is interpreted differently across gospels, but essentially emphasizes one act with slightly different emphasis in Matthew versus Mark/Luke, not two baptisms.
