    Catholics Elect a President Who Denies Jesus Is Lord & Do You Need a Preacher to Know the Gospel?

    Catholic news roundup gone wrong: the Catholic Biblical Association just elected Amy-Jill Levine — an openly Orthodox Jewish New Testament scholar — as its president. She's on record saying she's "not a literalist," doesn't worship Jesus as Lord and Savior, and doesn't read the Gospels as recording exactly what happened. Nate breaks down why an organization founded to promote "scholarly study of scripture in a context of faith" handing the keys to someone who rejects that faith is less diversity win and more institutional identity crisis. From there it's a full episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast: is Reacher star Alan Ritchson's divorce after 20 years of marriage actually biblical, or just co-parenting with extra steps? A caller asks whether Satan or the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness. Jennifer works through some genuinely tough Revelation 20 questions — is there more than one way to heaven, and who on earth is Melchizedek? The crew tackles Calvinism, free will, and God's sovereignty with a caller stuck between a Calvinist friend group and an anti-Calvinist husband, then runs a rapid-fire on LGBTQ, abortion, and other religions. Things get spicy when Doc argues Eve was transgender (spoiler: nobody agrees), a caller asks whether you need an ordained preacher to understand the Bible, and it closes out with a listener trying to get the panel to admit the Trinity makes God "a group." Serious questions, a little chaos, zero boring moments.

    Is It Antisemitic to Believe Jesus Is God? (False Labels & Boy Who Cried Wolf)

    In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate fields a Jewish caller who asks why Christians see Jesus as God when He was a Jewish rabbi—then immediately gets labeled “anti-Semitic” for giving the historic, first-century Christian answer. Spoiler: holding the orthodox view that Jesus claimed deity, was crucified for blasphemy according to the Jewish leaders of His day, and that true Israel is ultimately defined by faith in the Messiah (not ethnicity alone) is not hatred of Jews. It’s the same gospel the Jewish apostles preached. Nate and the crew hammer the real problem: when every disagreement with a Jewish person (or any group) is casually branded “anti-Semitic,” the word loses all meaning—just like the boy who cried wolf. False accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, or antisemitism don’t protect anyone; they train the culture to ignore the charge when it actually matters. Traditional Christianity is not antisemitic. Watering down the term is. The conversation also digs deep into a respectful but pointed Trinity discussion with a Muslim caller (John 1, Isaiah 45, economic roles vs. ontological equality), the claimed “70% of Christians get abortions” statistic (and why nominal identification ≠ biblical faith), and whether the Gospel resurrection accounts are contradictory or complementary eyewitness perspectives. Serious about Scripture, light on the melodrama, and zero patience for weaponized labels.

    Why Did God Allow Incest in the Bible? (Objective Morality Debated)

    In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate fields live questions that get right into the thick of it: Does John 20:23 mean apostles (or priests) can forgive sins the way Catholics claim, or is it about binding and loosing and church discipline like the guy in 1–2 Corinthians? Then the conversation pivots hard into one of the most-searched Bible sticky spots—why God allowed (or commanded) what looks like incest with Adam and Eve’s kids and Lot’s daughters, and whether that means objective morality actually changes. Nate pushes back with moral realism, God’s unchanging nature, and the difference between pre-Law necessity and post-Law commands, while a caller plays devil’s advocate the whole way. Later an agnostic presses the resurrection: were the apostles just mistaken, or do the minimal facts (Habermas-style), 500 witnesses, and early creed in 1 Corinthians 15 hold up against presuppositions and “mass psychosis”? The chat also swings into abolish-abortion vs. pro-life and why some Christians say IVF keeps the whole system rolling. Serious Scripture, zero fluff, and just enough ironic side-eye at the “no God needed” crowd to keep it lively.

    Catholics vs Protestants: What's the Real Difference? + Does Psalm 91 Disprove Jesus as the Messiah?

    What’s the real difference between Catholics and Protestants—and does Psalm 91 actually disprove the crucifixion of Jesus? In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dig into a classic question: Catholics vs Protestants. You’ll hear a clear breakdown of the Reformation, sola scriptura, faith alone versus faith-plus-works, the role of Mary and the saints, purgatory, the Pope, and why Protestants left the formal church institution after reading the Bible for themselves. Then a Muslim challenger drops a common claim: Psalm 91 “crucifies Christianity” because it promises God’s protection and angels will guard the righteous… yet Jesus was crucified. Does that mean God failed to defend His Son? Or that Jesus isn’t the Messiah? Nate and the team walk through the actual Hebrew, the voluntary nature of the cross (“Not my will but yours”), the fact that Satan himself quoted this psalm to tempt Jesus, and why the resurrection fulfills the promise of deliverance. Serious biblical answers with a little playful edge—just the way the Ask A Christian Podcast does it.

    Are All Christians Racist? & Who Really Gave Us the Bible Canon?

    Are all Christians racist? That’s the claim Nate fields head-on in this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast—complete with the classic “every Christian I’ve ever met hides behind religion to be racist” opener. Spoiler: the people who actually used the Bible to end slavery might have a few thoughts. Nate pushes back with history, Scripture, and the simple observation that if every Christian you’ve met is a giant racist… maybe the problem isn’t the faith. From there the conversation goes deep: Satan disguising himself as an angel of light, why false teachers inside the church need sharper pushback than open atheists, the Sabbath (for Israelites, not a papal plot), and whether handicap parking proves God can’t heal. Then a long, lively debate on who actually gave us the Bible canon—Athanasius’s 367 list, the early church already using those same 27 books for centuries, and why the Holy Spirit (not a later council in fancy hats) is the real Author of the canon. Praying to saints gets the necromancy/idolatry treatment versus the Mount of Transfiguration (Moses and Elijah showed up in person—Jesus wasn’t texting the dead). A Catholic caller raises dinosaurs, Neanderthals, hominids, and “why us?” Nate lands on the image of God and the soul as the non-negotiable difference, while still holding a literal Adam and Eve. Later: can Christians still sin without being of the devil, the Deuteronomy 22 “grape and pay 50 shekels” challenge answered with the Talmud’s actual practice, and a quick rundown of the rapture (pre-, mid-, post-trib) versus full preterism. Serious theology, zero fluff, and just enough playful irony to keep it from feeling like a dry seminary lecture. Perfect for anyone tired of the “Christians = racists” meme or curious who decided what’s in the Bible.

    Is Jesus God or a Created Angel? A Jehovah's Witness Debates the Trinity

    Is Jesus God, or just a created angel sent by the Father? On this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate faces one of the show's longest and most detailed debates yet — a caller raised in the Jehovah's Witness faith who challenges the Trinity verse by verse. They dig into Genesis 1, John 1:1 (and why the New World Translation renders it differently), Colossians 1:15's "firstborn of all creation," Revelation 3:14's "beginning of the creation of God," the "I Am" statements in Exodus 3 and John 8:58, and whether Revelation 1 makes Jesus just an angel or messenger. It's a deep dive into what the Bible actually says about the deity of Christ — no shouting, just Scripture (and a lot of it). Before that, an atheist caller opens the show with a classic challenge: why would a good God command the destruction of the Amalekites, including children? Nate walks through the Old Testament context, the problem of evil, free will, and why suffering doesn't disprove God's existence. Whether you're a Christian looking to better understand Jehovah's Witness theology, a JW wrestling with these same questions, or you just enjoy watching live theological debate unfold in real time, this episode has something for you. For more content, visit: https://www.askachristianpodcast.com 00:00 - Intro 00:07 - Atheist asks why God commanded the genocide of the Amalekites 12:05 - Could God have created a world without evil or suffering? 16:33 - Is religion just a tool used for control? 23:46 - Why did Jesus have to suffer and die? 27:29 - Caller raised Jehovah's Witness argues Jesus isn't God 29:53 - Is the Trinity shown in Genesis 1 and John 1? 35:27 - Is Jesus the "firstborn of all creation" — literally created? 37:22 - Revelation 3:14: Is Jesus "the beginning of God's creation"? 49:54 - Word study: does "beginning" mean "source" or "created"? 52:14 - Was Jesus anointed and given a name because he's less than God? 58:07 - "I Am" statements: Exodus 3 and John 8:58 59:50 - Revelation 3:12: Jesus given a "new name" — proof he isn't God? 1:03:04 - What does "ego eimi" really mean in John 8:58? 1:09:53 - Revelation 1:1: Is Jesus just an angel or messenger? #AskAChristianPodcast #JehovahsWitness #Trinity #IsJesusGod #Christianity #Bible #Apologetics #ChristianApologetics #BibleStudy #Watchtower #DeityOfChrist #Christology #Atheism #Genesis #Revelation

    You Can't Judge God's Law From a Few Bullet Points + Are Our Bible Translations Wrong?

    Does the Bible really let a rapist off the hook for 50 shekels? That question dominates this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, as host Nate goes verse-by-verse through Deuteronomy 22 — and then straight into the Talmud — to unpack what ancient Jewish law actually prescribed for sexual assault, and why the popular internet meme oversimplifies it badly (spoiler: there were entire tractates on the subject, not just a price tag). But that's just the back half of a wild, unscripted live Q&A. Things kick off with a troll trying (and failing) to bait Nate into a hellfire sermon, then swing into real questions: can a Christian sin and still have eternal life, does Psalm 91 mean God has feathers, and who exactly is the "regathered Israel" in end-times prophecy? A long-form debate with a self-described atheist covers whether "atheism begs the question," predestination and free will, and the classic "something can't come from nothing" argument — before pivoting into whether you can be a genuine, born-again Christian and still believe in the globe model (yes, that conversation happens). Add in the Trinity hiding in Genesis 1, a hot take on Freemasonry, and a myth-busting dive into Bible translation "issues," and you've got a genuinely all-over-the-map episode of Ask A Christian Podcast — the way live call-in apologetics should be.

    Bible Slavery Debate: 57 Verses vs 17 Chapters of Talmud & Pro-Life vs Abolitionism

    Nate's back on TikTok for another marathon Q&A, and this one earns its runtime. It starts innocently enough — can God become man without breaking His own nature, was Jesus really "tormented by demons in hell" (per a viral Lionheart Church Ministries claim), is the Trinity actually biblical vs. Unitarian arguments — before landing on the episode's centerpiece: does the Bible condone slavery? Nate doesn't just answer the question, he buries it. The Old Testament has roughly 50-57 verses touching on slavery and servitude — and the rabbis who actually lived under that law didn't leave it at a bumper sticker. The Talmud spends 17 chapters unpacking those verses (tractates Kiddushin, Gittin, and Bava Kamma, if you want to check his work). Fifty-something verses getting seventeen chapters of commentary is either the most over-explained topic in ancient literature, or proof that "God never gave nuance" was never a fair reading in the first place. Either way, a caller insisting there's "no difference" between a bond servant and chattel slavery picks the wrong night to test that theory. Along the way: is warning people about hell fear-mongering or just honesty, are icons and relics idolatry, is Oneness Pentecostalism (modalism) heresy, did the Apostle Paul even exist (yes, there's a scholar for that too), and Hebrew Israelite claims that Jesus is "a god but not the God." The episode closes on a raw, personal exchange about pro-life vs. abolitionism — whether there should be zero legal exceptions on abortion, and where that leaves things like miscarriage. Serious topics, but Nate keeps it moving with his usual mix of straight biblical argument and dry humor — because sometimes the best way to survive a two-hour theology gauntlet is to laugh at how many people show up ready to "logically disprove" Christianity without having read the book they're arguing against.
