We have to be careful that we are not doing these patchwork-Bible-interpretations where we take a Latin word here and a Greek word there and an English transliteration of a word over here, all in an attempt to fit it with our current situation.

Does Revelation Prophesy About the Coronavirus?

Questions in this Episode

  1. Is there a correlation between the scapegoat going to Azazel in Leviticus 16 and Jesus? Or is that too much of a stretch to connect those things?
  2. Does the Bible teach that we are assigned guardian angels?
  3. Is “Jesus” the real name if the Messiah?
  4. What does it mean that Jesus came to “divide” and “not bring peace”?
  5. I have a question from Revelation 6:2 about the man that comes on a white horse wearing a crown and carrying a bow. I have heard that “crown” in Latin means “Corona” and “bow” in Greek means toxin, and I’m just curious if this could be the coronavirus?
  6. With so many megachurches spending money on their facilities, is it wrong to skip tithing and donate to missional ministries instead?

In a humorous moment in the movie Fiddler on the Roof, the main character, Tevye, looks into the camera and remarks, “You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I’ll tell you—I don’t know!

Reacting to Viral Dechurching & Exvangelical Stories

“Here’s what I love about Jesus. Jesus actually knows that the church is broken and imperfect and falls short. But the difference between us and Jesus is we see that and we use that as a justification to abandon the church. Jesus sees the church, as broken as she is, and on the way as […]
