Episode 557: TE: Is the Bible Anti-Science?
Many claim that both the Bible and science cannot be true; that they cannot coexist. But is this true? Is science truly at odds with Scripture? Is the Bible anti-science?

In this video series we want to look at the most common things asked and publicly begin answering your questions for the benefit of everyone to hear and to test themselves. In this presentation we are going to respond to the questions: How are we to celebrate and observe the new moons (rosh chodesh)? Does God answer silent, or unspoken prayers? Is feet washing required on or just before Passover? How could 5,000 people hear Messiah talk without technology?...
Can we eat fat? What about blood in our meat? What does the Torah say?
Ephesians 2 seems to say that the Law of God was abolished through our Messiah....or does it? What about the wall of hostility?
The story of the fig tree our Messiah cursed in Matthew 21 has much to show us. In the first part of this teaching we examined things like what a withered fig tree represents, what fruit is, and what it means to cast a mountain into the sea among other things. This time we will focus on the Messiah’s words when he tells us that if we ask, we will receive.
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 tells about the case of the slandered bride. Some atheists or feminists try to use it to prove the Bible is anti-women or misogynistic. However, further inspection of the Scriptures and historical context may tell us a different story.
When Messiah cursed the fig tree, it withered. Why? What is the message contained in this miracle? How does the fig tree relate to moving a mountain into the sea with our faith?
As we continue our Bible study on The Exiled Prophet, Daniel, we look at a story about taking a walk through fire. King Nebuchadnezzar requires false idol worship; if you didn’t then you died by fire. It’s a story to keep in mind when we too face trials in our lives as there are some lessons to be learned here.
Galatians is the Holy Grail of support supposedly teaching against obeying the Law of God. Let’s read it together, from start to finish, and see if popular opinion holds up. It is time to Test Everything.
Continuing our Life in Exile Bible study series on 1 Peter, we look at chapter 4 and learn how we need perseverance in suffering. Life isn’t always easy, but we must push through to the end. There are benefits to our suffering, and our rewards are in eternity as children of the Most High.
In this last part of our One Flesh series on biblical chastity, marriage, divorce, adultery, and remarriage we go through some of the more frequently asked questions relating to these topics such as: What is the Biblical definition of sex? If I live with someone and view them as my spouse, does that mean we are Biblically married? Can women divorce their husbands according to the Bible? If a man cheating on his wife is not “technically” considered adultery, how do you explain Mark chapter 10? If...
In part 3 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we take a closer look at the topics of divorce and remarriage. What exactly is divorce, when is it permitted, and are people who have been divorced allowed to marry again?
In part 2 of our One Flesh teaching about Biblical Chastity, Marriage, and Divorce, we define both the physical and spiritual definitions of adultery and how it relates to God’s Marriage to Israel.
One flesh is how the Bible defines a man joining with a woman in marriage. But what does it mean to be married Biblically speaking? What defines a marriage in the Father’s eyes? How do we, as believers, avoid sexual immorality and what exactly does the terms sexual immorality or fornication encompass?
Paul's letters are easily misunderstood, especially when it comes to things like circumcision, being all things to all men, the ministry of death, and fading glory. Some say these all point to Paul being a false apostle or the law of God (Torah) being no longer relevant. Is that what Paul is teaching?
Continuing our Bible study series on the book of Daniel, the Exiled Prophet, we look at how God raises Daniel to prominence in one of the great kingdoms of this world.
The book of Ecclesiastes tells us a lot about life in this world, it is a book of wisdom. “All is vanity” is something found in this book. But when life gets hard or things aren’t making sense, what wisdom can we call on? What makes life meaningful under the sun when all is vanity?
Just because we are living a life in exile doesn’t mean we do not have a hope worth defending. Peter reminds us of this and more as we continue bible study in 1 Peter 3:8-22.
Continuing with our Bible Study series, The Exiled Prophet, we look at Daniel 1. In the opening chapter we already see Daniel’s wisdom during his early life in Babylon and how he is an example even to us today as we live in a world hostile to the Torah.
Continuing on with the Pauline Paradox series in this part five, we spend some time going through Paul's letter to the Romans, one of his most difficult letters to understand. We uncover the context of the letter and then read through some of the more misunderstood verses, but keeping them in the context in which they were written to find out if Paul supports the ongoing validity of the Torah, or if he is against it for Christians today.
In this next Bible Study series on the book of Daniel, we look at what is known about the writings of the exiled prophet. Included in this introduction to the book of Daniel is an examination of when it was written, by whom it was written, and who the audience was.
Paul says not to judge others on matters of days or food; is he teaching against the Torah here? Paul’s letters can be very confusing at the best of times. Sometimes he is addressing things concerning the Law of God, the Torah. Other times he appears to be addressing matters of opinion, such as in Romans 14.
Paul said that we are not "under the law"...but Paul makes mention of seven laws! Out of those seven laws, there is ONLY ONE we are no longer under. Which ONE law are we no longer under? Are we no longer under the law of God? A choice between context and doctrinal tradition is about to be placed before you...as we continue to "test everything" and ask "Which Law Paul?"
Living a Life in Exile doesn’t mean live poorly or away from the world. We still need to be behaving honorably among the gentiles. We continue our bible study through 1 Peter looking at 1 Peter 2:11 – 3:7. We may not be of the world, but we do still live in and need to represent the Father well.
We are living a life of exile as Peter describes in his first letter. In 1 Peter 2:1-10 we learn more about what it means to be obedient children to our Father and what it looks like to have a desire for God in our lives.
There are some critics of following the Torah that believe when Messiah healed people on the Sabbath, that he was showing it was no longer important. That is, they are saying by healing on the Sabbath, he brought an end to it. While that is one way to look at it, we don’t believe it is the correct one.
Leviticus 19:19 prohibits the planting of mixed seeds together among other things. What does this strange commandment mean? How has it been interpreted in the past and how should we see it today? Is it even possible to truly know the meaning behind and practical application of this command?
As we continue our bible study about a life in exile in 1 Peter 1, we look at verses 13-25 to find out that we are to be holy. The Father has a way that he wants his people to live, and it’s not like the rest of the world. What does a holy life look like?
The common position of mainstream theology utilizes snippets from Paul's writings to prove that God changed His law. Others teach that Paul is a false apostle and teaches against the Law of God. However, Peter's warning tells us how twisting Paul's letters promotes a lawless doctrine. Here are 6 reasons Paul is difficult to understand.
This series is designed to look at the mo'edim (or appointed times) of YHWH in a brief and concise way. In this video, we look at Purim. What is Purim? Is it an appointed time? Should we celebrate it? If so, how? If not, why not?
