Pure and Simple Bible

As members of the body of Christ, we have an eternal reward of salvation waiting for us, but in our anticipation of it, there is a task of high demand: holiness. Join Noah and Jonathan discuss what holiness is and what it is not (a "holier than thou" attitude). Additionally, they'll talk about the opposite of holiness (sin) and the mechanics of holiness (the how and the why).

When a Christian shares the gospel with others, the Biblical pattern to become a Christian is completed with baptism in water for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4, 1 Peter 3:21). There are some who question the necessity of baptism. When pressed about the Biblical necessity to being baptized, some often turn to the thief on the cross. The common argument is that the thief on the cros...

Peace. It’s what we are all after. How do we get it? Why has it been difficult to obtain in life? Is it really so elusive to all mankind or are there some individuals that have found it? How, indeed, can we have peace? Those who keep the law of God in their hearts and obey it in their actions add peace to their lives. Rather than seeking peace as an end, we should seek to follow Christ. When we do...

Jesus' words in Luke 14 offer a challenge for us to re-prioritize our relationships, our possessions, and even our very selves. Being a disciple may be costly, but the reward is worth it. Check out this two part series on discipleship.

Where does a Christian begin when trying to explain the supremacy of Christ? Why Christianity over skepticism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam or Secular Humanism? There are four questions that demonstrate that Christianity is the most reasonable worldview. One does not have to be an expert on world religions and philosophies to present an adequate defense of the gospel. If you can answer “YES” to these...

Aubrey Ballard joins me for the second part of a Bible conversation about the Christian's abstinence from alcohol. After considering Scriptures to support abstinence, its now time to consider the objections that some may have. After all, didn't Jesus change water into wine? Let's consider this together.

Aubrey Ballard joins me today to discuss the New Testament's teaching on alcohol. The Bible commands about abstaining from alcohol are pure and simple. That doesn't mean that it is always easy to accept, but when we are willing to consider the Scriptures, the conclusion that we read is simple to understand. A Bible chain for abstinence from alcohol that we're discussing today includes: 1 Peter 4:3...

Kenneth Magwood is back in studio with me. (My very first guest from the very first episode!) Together we're considering a confrontation between Paul and Peter in Galatians 2 that had very serious implications for the church then and now. Have a listen!

(3 of 3) Can we trust the Bible? This is such a powerful question, and an important one to ask. Jamie Thomson joins me to consider this question. Together we’ll ask this and other challenging questions about the Bible so that those who are believers and skeptics can take an honest look at the documents we have. We're considering: 1) Can we trust that the Bible has been faithfully handed down? 2) C...

What happening during the final week of Jesus' life on earth? Do the four gospels tell the same narrative or each a different one? Join Shahe and Jonathan study together about the chronological events of the final week of Jesus' life on earth.

3 of 3 From previous episodes, we've talked about: 1. Predictive Prophecy distinguished the true God from false gods (Isaiah 41:21-24; 42:8-9; 48:3-5). 2. Predictive Prophecy validated true prophets (Numbers 12:6-8, Deuteronomy 18:9-13; 14-22). 3. Predictive Prophecy verified other predictions of the future (Isaiah 8:7-8 + chapters 36-37, etc.) 4. Predictive Prophecy was necessary to explain the e...

Part 2 of 3. So far we've considered: 1. Predictive Prophecy distinguished the true God from false gods (Isaiah 41:21-24; 42:8-9; 48:3-5). 2. Predictive Prophecy validated true prophets (Numbers 12:6-8, Deuteronomy 18:9-13; 14-22).

George Battey is back to have a conversation with me about Predictive Prophecy. It is incredibly informative, and George answers a ton of questions that I know you will find helpful to know.
