In this episode of Truthspresso I look at one passage I consider to be one of the hardest to explain. It is an excuse for some people to believe the Bible really isn't the Word of God or that Christianity isn't true.
Psalm 137:9 says "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."
Does God favor or reward people for killing babies?!
Let's look at some context and history to figure out what this verse is really talking about!

In this episode of Truthspresso I look at one passage deemed the hardest verse to explain from an article addressed to Christian writers:
Why did Jesus say He didn't know the day or hour of His return? If He's God incarnate, wouldn't He know this?
We look at four explanations and evaluate which one (or two) are the most likely.

No Christian podcast worth its salt can avoid answering the all-important question: just who were those Nephilim, anyway?
Chelsea and I present the second of three popular theories about the Nephilim: that they are the offspring of Seth's descendants intermarrying with Cain's rebellious descendants.
Theories about the Nephilim seem to depend on who were "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men" in Genesis chapter 6.
Join us as we explore arguments for this theory and arguments against it.
