I've also heard John MacArthur talk about some very suspicious things, like why the Bible says we should "protect Israel" among the things you mentioned about trusting scientific experts.

There are a lot of misrepresentations of the Bible and Israel. Israel today is a fraud. A counterfeit dollar is not a dollar, and just calling something Israel does not make it so.

Does anyone know of a good [concise] resource that speaks to this? I have a co-worker that simply will not move from his "I will always stand with God's chosen people, as they are constantly the target of the Devil. They are surrounded by hateful nations bent on their destruction." position. I try not to create strife - especially at work, but if there's something simple perhaps I could share. He believes in the Christ so I won't push, but I'd still be interested in good resources. Thanks so much ♥

Okay I'll read the articles, and I need to get the books ordered as one is a Christmas gift. Is there a way to order 2 at one time? The page only lists one and I don't see a way to order more than one without going through the process again. Also, I was hoping to save a bit of shipping by ordering 2 at the same time. Thank you ♥

Don't forget the dinosaur hoax!

Can you please explain why dinosaurs would be a hoax? I believe a dinosaur is clearly described in Job and have never understood why some believe dinosaurs are a hoax... it seems to me that it's credible that if there were were giants as described in the bible that there could also have been dinosaurs as described in the bible. I've seen many videos showing that certain flat top mountains were actually trees. Those trees would be big beyond belief, but it's possible. If that is possible, then dinosaurs wouldn't have been all that big in comparison. Most would have perished in the flood along with the giants. Please know that I'm asking a sincere question and would like to know if there's more evidence of their existence or their being a hoax. I've seen others debunk the hoax, so I'm not sure what to believe. I'd ask that responders be kinds and offer legitimate links or information. No need for condescension or jabs; I'm just a lowly seeker.

Thank you so much; I will read them! My hesitation is that I believe in the inerrancy of scripture and Behemoth seems to me a clearly described dinosaur in Job 40 (regardless that editors conclude a hippo has a tail like a cedar) so I do not want to be a Sarai and laugh at God - as if He is not describing an animal as large as He states. I have no reason to doubt what God says is True, and that I need to align my beliefs with His Word, not find a way to squirrel around it as many Christians do with the globe earth. God is clear - either I believe Him or I don't. So this chapter in Job troubles me. I don't believe in the evolutionary components of dinosaurs or much else today's science puts forth, but to think that God could have created some dinosaurs (and dragons) as He describes in His Holy Word is easy enough (required?) for me to believe. The thinking gets tiresome, no?

Keep up the good work my friend. This truth is starting to break through. People are hungry for the truth and common sense examination of what is right in front of them.

Generally, the statement of "people are hungry for the truth" isn't true. Most people like living in accordance with comfortable lies.

The ratio is 99.x to some fraction of 1%. Easily. There are *very* few people who retain the curiosity they had as a child, and search for answers, and it's scary. Makes me want to off myself sometimes, if I'm being honest. But, I do, absolutely, trust that God always has the Devil's work in checkmate.

The sincere few are those who make a difference. When we find each other in the darkness we are powerful. My podcast is to reassure those out there that there are more of us.

I know this is an older podcast, but I struggle to keep up! Each of your publications is wonderful and I pray many of us continue to learn from you ♥ I'm interested in getting the books mentioned in this one. Kings Dethroned was easy, but When the Earth was Flat seems to be the title of several. One by Dirk Couprie, one by Raymond Fraser, and one by Graeme Donald (Michael O'Mara books). Are you able to tell me which is the one recommended by the guest so I can read it? Thank you so much. And again, May the Mighty and Merciful hand of our Ever-loving and Gracious God guide and guard you always Scipio.

Thank you very much, I'm fairly certain it is the Couprie book.

Thank you ~ oh dear, that's the expensive one :-) I'll put it on the list for later.

About section -23:23 in this podcast and how the discussion pertains to awareness of various forms of deceptions, I thank you for approaching the ministry of God's pattern for creation. Especially I am thankful to hear a discussion unburdened by the worldly sensationalism of organized conspiracy theorist snarl.

My studies aside from the Holy Bible are online and selective. From Spurgeon to Chuck Smith and VbVM (Pastor Stephen Armstrong). As a female, I am not at all comfortable with ministries who host female leaders. And VbVM is now hosting a female teacher. Since 2009, VbVM has been where I thirst to hear how Jesus enthusiastically thrived to hear sermons and praise the Father!

Also about a previous podcast, this is why I consider Abel is called a preacher of righteousness. Abel worshiped the Father, Son and Holy Spirit wholeheartedly. Abel thrived to offer a righteous sacrifice with enthusiasm.

Regarding Noah as a preacher of righteousness, I will have to listen more to these dispatches because this is a section of the Holy Bible I have tried to put off.
