The Mount Hermeneutics Podcast

What happens to us after the resurrection? Will we still be ourselves? Will we recognize one another? Will our bodies be physical, spiritual, or something entirely new? In this episode of The Mount Hermeneutics Show, the guys explore one of Christianity's most fascinating promises, the resurrection of the body. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #Chr...

Did Christianity borrow the story of Jesus from older religions? Skeptics often point to figures like Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Dionysus, and Krishna as evidence that the Gospel story was copied from ancient myths. But how strong are those claims? In this episode, the guys take a closer look at the common parallels between Christianity and other religions. Which similarities are real, which are exag...

40 Days? We know about the flood, Moses on Mount Sinai, and Jesus fasting in the wilderness. But there is another 40-day period that often goes overlooked… The 40 days between Christ’s resurrection and ascension may be one of the most overlooked periods in Scripture. What did the risen Jesus teach? How did He prepare the apostles for the nations, the kingdom, and the spiritual mission ahead? Join...

When discussing the resurrection, the conversation typically goes in a couple of directions.  One challenge is not using the Bible to prove the Bible is true.... We try to do just that. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #holyweek #lewistrilemma #apologetics + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt unless explicitly s...

Keeping with our decision to honor the entire timeframe of Christ's return, we do another week on the resurrection.  This week, we discuss the ongoing relevance of Christ's resurrection, and how it applies to modern Christians. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #holyweek + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt unles...

We do it again.  Is Easter Pagan? Everyone says it is, so it must be, right? I mean, we all know about Ishtar by now.

The guys take on an interesting section in 1 Peter (Chapter 3, verses 18 and 19), where Peter talks about the crucifixion and resurrection, but there is a seemingly odd phrase in there that has a lot to be unpackaged.  What was Peter talking about and what really happened?  Did Jesus go to Hell?  If so, why?   #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #Sheol #Jesus  + NEW DISCLA...

What is Love?  We say it an awful lot, especially around Valentine’s Day… but what do we mean when we say it?  What did God mean when he said it? Did it mean then, what it means now?

We can never leave good enough alone, so we tried to close out the discussion on Paul now that Matt is back (we recorded this before the Christmas episode, but got them out of order so that the Christmas episode fit the calendar better).  #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #theapostlepaul #pauline + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt u...

The guys take a different approach to Christmas and discuss the Incarnation of God as man. Who was Jesus, and why did he have to be a baby?  Not, he was childish, but why was he borne as an infant rather than simply becoming a grown man? #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #merrychristmas #xmas #incarnation + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae...

The guys (minus Matt) discuss Paul of Tarsus, examining biblical texts and discussing Paul's apostleship, teachings, and historical context. The conversation covered various aspects of Paul's ministry, including his relationships with other apostles, his approach to reaching different audiences, and the evolution of the concept of apostleship in the New Testament. #podcast #religion #genx #theolog...

If God knows everything before it happens, why do bad things happen? Is that what he wants, knows, allows? Or does he know at all? Open Theism has a POV that Matt talks about.

The guys discussed challenges in Bible study groups.   We hear about the Holy Spirit speaking directly to individuals during study, but is that what is going on?   Should people be expecting supernatural revelation or rather focus on textual understanding?   #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #biblestudy + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or...

The boys chat about the biblical figure Melchizedek, exploring his brief appearance in Genesis 14, his mention in Psalm 110, and his significance in the book of Hebrews. The group examined various theological interpretations of Melchizedek's priesthood and its relationship to Jesus Christ's priesthood. The discussion touched on both biblical texts and extra-biblical traditions surrounding this mys...
