The 66 Books of the BIble. What Makes Them Alone to be the Word of God and not any other books?

In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read the words "All Scripture is inspired by God. . . " But what is the Bible? Is it just one book or a compilation of 66 books?

What is the Bible and What makes it God's Word?

In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read the words "All Scripture is inspired by God. . . " But what is the Bible? Is it just one book or a compilation of 66 books? Is it early, or late?

In this show today, we address what is the Bible and what makes it what it is. In this ep...

Do All Religions Say and Teach the Same Things?

When it comes to the subject of religion and philosophy, the arenas of education, the media, and even politics seek to make statements they know little about. One statement is that all religions teach and say the same things. In 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us that "we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." This is one of those statements. In this episode I share with you why this is ...

Rob's Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

Easter Sunday means so many different things to different people. But to true Christians, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important truth in all of human history. In fact, historical Christianity stands or falls on the truthfulness of this event. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? If Jesus is truly risen then Christianity is true and all the other religions are false. Plain and simple. In this episode I present my case as to why I believe that Jesus truly rose from the dead and wh...

What is Unbiblical About "Mindfulness"

Is it wrong to be a mindful person? That depends on what one means by being "mindful." There is a difference between being mindful of the truths that honor the one true God. But the practice of "mindfulness" is another one of those incompatible, deceptive New Age practices that is being smuggled into the church like a Trojan Horse. If you find yourself being mindful in the manner of emptying your mind of various distractions or focussing on yourself rather than the truths of what God says, then ...

Why Centering or Contemplative Prayer is a New Age Practice that is not Biblical

How do you know whether or not the Trojan Horse of new age teaching has crept into your church? One of those pieces of deception that has crept into the church is this thing known as Contemplative or Centering Prayer. Is it biblical or is it something totally foreign to a biblical worldview? Just because the word "prayer" is used in the description of the type of prayer, does not mean it is friendly to the Christian worldview. In this episode, I share with you the background and why is it is tot...

Why I Cannot Accept the New Age Worldview as True

Whether you remember the new age movement from the late 70's or you are familiar with a "second coming on the new age" this episode will catch you up to speed on the new spiritual zeitgeist that is not going away.

Resetting the Look of Apologetics for the Believer and the Church toward the Post Christian Culture

With the rumors of a "great reset" on the horizon, I am 'stealing' this idea to bring to you in this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, a presentation of what apologetics should look like for the believer and the church in a post Christian culture.

Rob's Defense of Life in the Womb from the POINT OF CONCEPTION

In this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, I present my case for life in the womb from the point of conception. In this defense, I do not start from the theological point, but from the point of the science of defining what a life system truly is. From presenting the science, I move to the ethical perspectives, and then move to the theological perspective. Ultimately, God is the author of life and the ender of life (from womb to tomb). Do you think I am wrong? Challenge me by sending an email...

The False Prophecies of LDS non-Prophet Joseph Smith

In this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, I give a response to some of the false prophecies made by LDS non-Prophet Joseph Smith.

Answering the LDS Claim of an Apostasy to Validate the Book of Mormon and the LDS Church

If you have ever spoken with a couple LDS missionaries and the conversation gets to talking about the credibility of the Book of Mormon (BoM), chances are you have heard something along this line: "The gospel of Jesus Christ disappeared from the earth after the death of the Apostles and the ascension of Jesus because there was an apostasy by the early Christians. That is why the Book of Mormon is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ." Wait a minute! An apostasy by the early church? The gospel dis...

Is the Nature of God Triune or Tawhid?

Muslims and their apologists like to assert that the doctrine of the Trinity is a pagan and polytheistic. But is it really? In this episode, I discuss the oneness of God, and bring to the table the issue of an I/You relationship between God and man that Christianity has that Islam does not have? That means that Muslims do not worship that same God (YHWH) that Christians and our Jewish friends worship. Muslim's understanding is that God (Allah) is One (tawhid) and the name of their God is "Allah....

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Understanding the Role of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and a Response to the Cults

Many cults who misrepresent the Trinity will tell you that the Holy Spirit is an "It" or a "Force" and not the Third Person of Trinity. Others will say that the Holy Spirit is a third mode of the Trinity (modalism) and come up with a corrupted view of the Trinity. But historical Christianity prescribes that the Bible describes the Holy Spirit as Personal and the third Person of the Trinity. In this episode, I rehash the Trinity and bring the Holy Spirit, showing that the Holy Spirit IS God and c...
