John and Ben kick things off by calling out the idea bandits who brazenly pilfer their segment concepts without so much as a nod in their direction.
Then join in as they dive headfirst into a controversy that’s sure to upset at least three scholars: the shocking revelation that the pastoral epistles of First and Second Timothy and Titus might just be Paul-free zones. Apparently, apostolic authorship is more of a suggestion than a rule.
Then, strap in for a wild ride on their segment "Bible Says What?" where they explore the thoroughly normal, not-at-all-questionable phenomenon of mass hallucinations among the Galatians. Was it divine intervention, or did everyone just skip breakfast?

In this episode, John and Ben tackle the “who really wrote it?” mystery of two of Paul's so-called undisputed epistles. They dive into the issue of slavery in Philemon without pulling any punches, and they ponder over the seemingly unanswerable question: How many letters from Paul ended up at the Corinthian church’s doorstep anyway?
Then they switch gears to chew over the U.S. Supreme Court's pick-and-choose attitude towards religious freedom. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
And, because we know you love it, there’s another round of “Bible Says What?!” where we dig up the parts of the scripture that make you go, “Hmm…”

In part one of our series on forgeries in the Bible John and Ben ask, did the apostle Paul write Ephesians and Colossians? We dig deep into the scholarship and find some surprising info.
But first we discus an exciting new manuscript discovery.
Then later on another installment of Bible Vs. Bible, We look at a what could be a big contradiction found in the Pauline epistles.

Most people know comedian Julia Sweeney from her time as a member of the Saturday Night Live cast, but she is also a student of historical criticism of the Bible. She has an extremely “Hollywood” take on the literary production of the Gospels. John, Liz and Ben react to her amazing “successive draft” theory, where she see’s the Gospels as progressing book to book like a series of film script revisions, complete with added “pizazz” and exaggerations.
Then John, Liz and Ben dive into a new edition of Bible vs. Bible where Jesus dying words are different depending on which gospel you read. Is it a contradiction?

When you ask many evangelicals for evidence of their claims they will often cite a book called, Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. He is the influential author who has sold millions of books around the world. He built his reputation on being a skeptic won over to Christ by the evidence. For over 50 years he has provided evangelicals a resource to defend the Bible as historical truth.
Are his claims substantiated by the evidence he presents? John and Ben are skeptical. They dissect Josh’s arguments point by point to show that they don’t stand up to historical criticism.

Former Fear Factor host Joe Rogan sat down with former MTV VJ Adam Curry about reasons for believing the God conspiracy. Adam, a new convert, discusses evidence for Christianity. John and Ben take a look at the quality of these arguments and analyze Rogan’s responses… which unsurprisingly all turn out to be either wrong or weak.

The “He Gets Us” campaign is a 100 million dollar plus ad spree. It’s designed to re-brand American Christianity away from extreme right-wing nationalism and into a more diverse and inclusive image. But ultimately the ads do more to highlight the vast difference between the Jesus described in the Bible and the evangelical church as it is in America today.
Do these ads succeed? Who’s behind them? And what do evangelicals think about them? On this episode John and Ben break down the ads and try to get to the bottom of what the political movers who fund them are trying to achieve.

Victoria Osteen and Joel Osteen helm Lakewood Church, the largest church in America. The mega church in Houston Texas rakes in tens of millions each year.
On this episode John and Ben listen to various clips of Victoria Osteen and try very hard to understand why anybody is moved by her overly theatrical motivational speech. In our opinion, her content doesn’t have very much depth or grounding in the Bible. Until she starts talking about hunting monkeys with a banana trap. Yes, for real. (Stay tuned to the end. Trust us.)

Some Christian’s claim to have special “gifts of the spirit” that give them super powers. As it turns out their claims of faith healings are false and “speaking in tongues” turns out to be just babbling non-sense. However, the Bible seems to say Christians should expect to possess these powers.
John and Ben breakdown the spiritual gifts controversy and see why many church denominations say the spiritual gifts era ended with the New Testament, even though the Bible never actually says that.

In the Bible, Jesus predicts his return will come during the lifetime of those who were with him. This belief was so entrenched among early Christian’s that the eminent return of Christ was the driving theme of the letters of Paul. As the original followers of Jesus died off however, the beliefs in the second coming of Christ had to evolve. We take a deep dive into this to examine one of the most glaring problems for Christianity, and how some try to deal with the difficulty.
