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 ..read more

On this premiere episode John and Ben explain that Christian family values are not biblical. Unless you mean hating your family. They take a close look at how Jesus had a radical anti-family message.

Also, John & Ben are puzzled by how forgetful Jesus seems to be on the first installment of Bible Vs. Bible. Is this a co ..read more

Then on another edition of Bible says What!? The team examines another head ..read more

New polling suggests many right-wing people want America to be an explicitly Christian nation. What could go wrong? We’ll discuss. Does God know everything? Yes he does, except for all those times in the Bible where he doesn’t know something. John and Ben break down the core church doctrine of God’s omniscience.
