Episode 42: Being Christian

Data Dumping

What is “Data Dumping”? Has Satan used against Christianity? Are there really 4,200 different religions? 45,000 denominations? How do I know which religion to choose? Is Jesus really the ONLY way? Don’t all roads lead to Jesus? And much more… The Bible, Internet, A.I.

Sin Defined p2

Picking up where we left off on defining sin. How are we under Adam’s condemnation? Why does the virgin birth matter? What is this 2nd or last Adam? If Christ is 100% human then how can He be sinless? What’s the solution to our sinful state? Refer to episode 44 for supporting links.
