Biblical News Source

Today on Biblical News Source, we discuss the trend in Black on White violence in the West, taking a look at an appalling video of a heinous criminal act by a Black man that was virtually dismissed by a liberal Black judge. Then we take a dive into the growing double standard in the West that is starting to show its true colors as a force against Christianity and the values that built America. And lastly, we dive into the life of Jacob’s son Joseph, placing him within Egyptian history and seeking a deeper understanding of God’s sending him into the fray of one of the ancient world’s largest superpowers. Welcome to Biblical News Source.

Today on Biblical News Source we find that we are at a precipice, and the church needs to correct hearts and minds before the world falls over the edge into the abyss. We take a look at an article about a church in trouble and learn the importance of congregationalism, the concept that inspired the republic model devised in the U.S. Constitution. Then we take a deeper look at the Founding Fathers and their beliefs, which has become a topic of interest this week in regards to so-called Christian nationalism. And last but not least, we continue our examination of the Hebrew Worldview by diving into the life of Jacob, the last of the forefathers, and his encounters with God. Welcome to Biblical News Source.

Today on Biblical News Source there is a lot to cover. Stories the past two weeks have been popping up in overwhelming numbers. Tucker Carlson interviewed Vladimir Putin, causing quite a stir; the border crisis intensifies, and the House impeaches Secretary Mayorkas for his dereliction of duty; Democrats’ soft on crime policies and refusal to deal with the mental health crisis in our country is putting people’s safety at risk; and it turns out that all of this, to no surprise, may be intentional. Xi Van Fleet, with her experiences from Communist China, gives us some insight into why. Following all of that, we discuss the state of our world and whether or not Jesus emphasized repentance as a part of the gospel message. And lastly, we continue in our examination of the Hebrew Worldview by examining the near sacrifice of Isaac.

This week on Biblical News Source we are going to take a deep dive into the troubling influx of carelessness and abandonment in Biden’s America, specifically how intentional it is and how it is showing itself even in the U.S. Congress, especially with one congresswoman Ilhan Omar. We are paying for their brazen ineptitude. Then, as it turns out, carbon dioxide emissions are actually healthy for the planet, and we will look at a recent science article that tells us why. And after that, we continue our examination of Abraham and the forefathers of biblical faith. Welcome to Biblical News Source.

This week on Biblical News Source we’re going to take a look at some matters that are really defining the nature of the moral landscape in culture, some of which have now put the U.S. at the brink of potential Civil War. Then we are going have a long discussion about the importance of free speech and finish up with another journey into the ancient world and the worldview of the Hebrews by looking at an important figure who is easy to skip over if not careful.

Another school shooting by a person who identifies as transgender raises some important questions about the present condition of Western culture; women on average have an inherent inclination to nurture and care, indicating a design for motherhood; and we continue our Hebrew Worldview series by looking into Abraham and his purpose through Yahweh.

The nativity story is far more than the story of the birth of the promised Messiah. It is the integral moment in history when all things change and a routing of the kingdom of evil, the forces and gods of darkness, could finally be realize. Jesus is King and Lord, a mighty warrior taking on the true problem of evil in our universe, and his entry into our story sparked the battle for justice, love, and life. Check out this commercial-free special to learn more.

Tensions between Israelis and Hamas have escalated, and voices around the world are seeming to support the terrorists over the Jews, to our detriment; research is showing that many women really do not have a choice in abortion after all, as they are pressured by their loved ones and society to get abortions; and human standards of creativity have literally hit rock bottom.

After a horrifying terrorist attack by Hamas, leaders of the Gaza Strip in Israel, thousands of innocent Jews and tourists have been killed, including numerous children who were beheaded and immolated, and Israel has begun their retaliation; a former celebrity occultist joins the Christian faith and is baptized, which doesn't sit well with some Christians; and we examine the reliability of evidence: should we seek absolute certainty or should we have faith when enough confidence has been reached?

A sex-change operation in Nebraska that was forced and an utter failure brings to light the real and destructive motive behind the secular cult of selfishness and greed, the importance of Christianity and some of the evidence for its absolute truth are examined, and was Jesus woke? You know my answer, but you may not know why. Check out this episode to learn more.

There has been a change in the education system in America and in many countries across the globe. No longer are students taught how to think, they are taught what to think and are being indocrinated into the secular religion of self. A tweet of mine regarding this topic went viral on Twitter, inspiring some interesting responses. In this episode, we talk about some of those and go deeper into why critical, independent, rational thought based on the philosophical laws of logic is imperative to a functioning society.

The Declaration of Independence is probably the most important founding document ever constructed beyond the Pentateuch in the Bible. If you are in America, it is vitally important to you. If you are not, it is still important because it evidences for all people the importance of accountability, community, majority rule, and unbiased representation of the people to instill a nation where everyone can thrive with equal opportunity. Unfortunately, it is rarely read anymore and is taught less and less to children, leading to a disregard for the values it expresses, the freedoms it seeks, and the order it was devised to establish. In this episode, I read the entire document and discuss it briefly. Share it with your friends and families and encourage them to think about it. Really think about it, mull over it, process it, and appreciate its truth, power, and significance.

The persecution of Christians in Nigeria is on the rise and things are not looking good, many churches are using armed congregants for security in light of an influx of shootings across the U.S., some companies are looking into diversity, opportunity, and inclusion instead of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we read through an African's perspective on the recent law against homosexuality in Uganda and what it means for us in the West.

This episode is a bit of a late release, but it is important. After releasing a comment on Twitter about against abortion, I was attacked relentlessly by abortion advocates who spouted their usual arguments along with insults. Here, I begin to deal with their crap and refute the arguments they presented, which will continue in the next two episodes as well. Included are articles I found in my research. Some of them were used in the podcasts, others are additional reading.

P.S. The numbers discuss in the episode were found on various sites and the calculations were done by yours truly. There is gap between death rates and birth rates in our country, which makes abortion a threat to our continuance since it is a contributing factor to lesser birth rates, making it problem for everyone.
