We return to our discussion of what led the Poway Synagogue Shooter (a devout Christian) to harm a group of Jews at a Chabad Synagogue. Our guest is acclaimed Christian author and theologian Michael Heiser. During our program Dr. Heiser disavows anyone who uses the Christian Bible to justify any act of violence. He educates us about the difference between legitimate Christians and illegitimate ones since the teachings of Jesus according to him do not promote being vengeful or violent against people who do not share the same beliefs. On this episode we focus on the Westboro Baptist Church, Bible verses used to justify hatred and better ways to interpret them.
