Exploring Christianity at the cutting edge

Aug 24, 2019

I talk about Father Gary Thomas who spends many hours a month performing exorcisms. The accuracy of the movie- "The Rite," is discussed as well as the close connection between Father Thomas and this movie. Ouija boards, the occult, exorcisms, a time I had a brush with the occult, and the Roman Catholic Church's exorcism school in Rome are all discussed.

Aug 18, 2019

Kills your soul, that is. Listen as I discuss how both Jesus the Christ and the Buddha warn us of the dangers of human desires. The reason desire is so dangerous is because it replaces God's Law of Perfect Love with another law, which is the law of "I want what I want right now!" How could 7 billion people operating under this law all at the same time ever make this perverted law work? They can't. Love, compassion, desire, selfishness, and the amazing similarities between the thoughts of Jesus the Christ and Buddha are all discussed.

Aug 3, 2019

Jesus words were for all people because they all came from the pre-existent Universal Spirit of Christ who made the entire Universe, and everything and everyone in it is filled with this Spirit. As Jesus himself said several times, he himself had nothing to say. Listen as I explain why some of Jesus' words, for example John 14:6, are so badly misinterpreted by some. Guys, this isn't hype: this understanding can change your life!

Jul 27, 2019

Up to this point in history, the Christian Church has pretty much ignored the concept of a Pre-existent Universal Christ which is plainly taught all throughout the New Testament. Listen as I discuss an exciting way to rethink Christianity.

Jul 20, 2019

The Christ existed before the Universe. Jesus of Nazareth existed starting around 0 A.D. The Christ created the Universe, and fills everything. Jesus of Nazareth did not create the Universe, but the Christ Spirit in him did. Listen as I talk about the drastic differences between "The Christ" and "Jesus of Nazareth." These differences have life changing global implications. And this is all easily provable by many verses in the New Testament.

Jul 13, 2019

As a child I was traumatized by a shocking event that taught me the crucial difference between Power vs. Force. Listen as I discuss the lesson I'll never forget.

Jul 6, 2019

In our own strength it is extremely difficult to open our heart to  people outside of our own family. But with the help of the Spirit of Christ, you will be able to see others from God's perspective, and you will be able to meet every twist and turn of life with the overwhelming strength of God, not just your own resources.

Jun 29, 2019

Yes, if you give, you will get. But such giving has never impressed Jesus. Listen as I talk about God's preferred motivation for giving, one that really impressed Jesus. Selfish Christian ministry fundraising, so called "Christian TV," and the Giving To Get Gospel are all discussed.

Jun 23, 2019

Although Jesus based his entire ministry on non-violent resistance to evil, even Jesus was violent on one occasion. Listen as I discuss what made Jesus so angry that he cleansed the temple.

Jun 15, 2019

Didn't Jesus tell us to "turn the other cheek?" Yes, he did. But in his own life and ministry even a casual reading of the gospels reveals a person who is feisty, who regularly defended himself from verbal attacks, who seemed to prefer to turn other people's cheeks rather than his own, who was verbally assertive and even aggressive with people who opposed him, and who on one occasion used physical violence against those who were hurting other people. How do we sort all of this out? I offer one way.

Jun 8, 2019

General George Patton once famously said, "War is Hell." But almost everyone gets caught up in fighting our own mental wars with others in our minds. And the result of all this war mentality such as unforgiveness, hatred, impatience, prejudice, and constant criticism and judgment of others is HELL.

Jun 1, 2019

Heaven and Hell are not simply places you go to in the future. They are places people live in right now on this Earth. Listen how otherwise intelligent people choose to live in Hell, right now!

May 25, 2019

People can create their own Heaven or their own Hell through what they choose to think about all day. Hell is not so much a place God might send you to, Hell is a State of Mind you can send yourself to by what you choose to think about all day.

May 18, 2019

Are you sick and tired of having your mind filled with strife, and being upset, frustrated, angry, and feeling disillusioned with life? I've got good news for you. You can have peace of mind. There's only one thing you need to do.

Mar 16, 2019

Air France flight 447 teaches us four crucial life lessons. Listen to how one tragedy occurred to prevent a similar tragedy in your life.

Mar 9, 2019

All of the world is a living parable intended to teach us valuable life lessons. This week's podcast is a discussion of what life lessons can be learned from the crash of Air France flight 447.

Feb 23, 2019

Many world religions teach that God takes either human form, or other form to help us and teach us important lessons. Listen as I talk about someone who had to die to learn this important lesson.

Feb 9, 2019

It may come as a shock to some, but Jesus thought like, acted like, and spoke like, a raving liberal. He was shockingly liberal for his day. Listen as I discuss how liberal Jesus dealt with the religious leaders of his society.

Feb 2, 2019

Jesus Christ felt free to change the rules laid down by God in the Old Testament. Actually, he did much more than that. Listen as I discuss how Jesus interpreted and used the Bible of his day. And yes, God does change his rules.

Jan 26, 2019

Jesus picked and chose what he accepted in the Bible of his day. He definitely did not literally apply every verse as everyone did 2,000 years ago and the way many people still do. If you want to be Christlike, don't you think you should interpret the Bible the way Jesus did?

Jan 19, 2019

Jesus was not and is not religious. In fact, just about the only thing Jesus ever got angry about was the behavior of religious people. And what ticked Jesus off the most was when religious people made up non-functional religious rules.

Jan 12, 2019

It will shock you when you realize how Jesus interpreted the Bible of his day. He did not interpret it the way the religious crowd of his day did, and he did not interpret the Bible the way that you probably do.

Jan 5, 2019

In this episode I give you the ultimate religious challenge: I challenge you to read the gospels constantly asking the question: "What is Jesus' attitude towards the organized religion of his time, and towards the leaders of organized religion he interacted with?" The results will revolutionize your relationship with God.

Dec 29, 2018

Here is a New Years resolution for you: KILL GOD! You know, the false god who lives in your head, but who doesn't really exist, and start believing in the God who does exist. And this God is Love.

Dec 22, 2018

We spend our lives scurrying around looking in a thousand places for happiness. But we never find happiness until we finally find the one way to be happy that always works.
