    Why does the Old Testament God seem different than the New Testament God?
    Aug 18 2022
    There are lots of people, both young and old, men and women, educated and uneducated, experienced and inexperienced in life; people from all walks of life, who believe that God presents himself differently in the Old Testament than he has in the New Testament.

  • Why would a good God allow evil to exist?

    Why would a good God allow evil to exist?
    Aug 11 2022
    Why would a good God allow evil to exist? It’s a conundrum isn’t it. Well, as a Christian having grown in Christ throughout the years (with a long way to grow) I don’t ask this question like I would’ve in the beginning. We learn to trust; we grow accustomed to God being faithful no matter the circumstances. But it is a question nonetheless, and one I intend to flirt with a bit in this episode.

    Atheism has costs. Among them are looking and sounding like a smart fool, having no foundation for any assertions made, and something much darker. In this episode I’ll give this topic a try, as well as throw out an announcement about Bearded Bible Thinker content going forward.

    Bearded Bible Thinker | The Purpose Driven Defense
    Jun 16 2022

    We must pay attention to the character and teaching of those we allow to influence us. This is a video of Rick Warren defending himself, not by addressing the issue that had been brought up, but by pridefully listing all of the accomplishments he's had, because of the SBC, and giving zero credit to God.

    Bearded Bible Thinker | Forgiveness & Discernment
    Jun 9 2022

    What happens when you forgive? And what must you forget? We learned from Matthew 18:21-35 that we have no right to an unforgiving heart, but how does that play out with relational reconciliation? Hopefully, this helps a bit.
