    OTinNT. Israeli Christian Scholar Shows Sensus Plenior is Unnecessary

    Interview with Dr. Seth Postell, Dean of the One for Israel Bible College in Netanya, Israel. We discuss the New Testament's Use of the Old Testament. This includes mentions of how the Messiah is shown in the Bible and categories of use of the Old in the New such as typology, rabbinic hermeneutical methods, corporate solidarity, and sensus plenior. Postell discusses how Christians should be reading their Bibles and how sensus plenior is unnecessary. Dr. Postell and I had hermeneutics class together in seminary. We both received our PHD from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He studied under Old Testament scholar, Dr. John Sailhamer, and I studied under New Testament scholar, Dr. David Alan Black.

    How Archaeology and Apologetics Saved Her Faith. A Conversation with Kristen Davis

    Kristen Davis shares how archaeology and the Bible (apologetics) saved her faith. We discuss major finds at major excavation sites in Israel. These are limited to Tell Dan, Jericho, and Jerusalem. Each one aligns with descriptions in the Bible. 'Nuff said. the arched gateway at Tell Dan that Kristen referred to is from an earlier period than the ruins of the double gate given at minute 9:13.

  • Jesus the Good Shepherd (and some Greek words)

    Jesus the Good Shepherd (and some Greek words)

    This episode works through the first several verses of the Gospel of John. In it, I deal with the biblical text, even the Greek words, and show how they can apply to the lives of Christians. We find that Christians listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ. We find that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. We find that salvation is of the Lord. We find that Christians should find their wisdom from the Scriptures. And more.

  • Luke 2 and the Christmas Story

    Luke 2 and the Christmas Story

    Luke 2 and the nativity. I deal with the historical, political, familial, and theological message of Luke 2. The message defends the accuracy of the Bible, clarifies the Christmas story, and gives the truth of the gospel message here at Christmas.

  • Jesus, Hanukkah, and Christmas

    Jesus, Hanukkah, and Christmas

    John 10 possesses a unique section in which Jesus celebrated a secular holiday Hanukkah (Feast of Lights or Feast of Dedication, but not one of the 7 commanded by God in Lev. 23). Jesus uses the circumstance to teach that He is the Light of the World. Christians celebrate this advent of the Light into the world during Christmas time, during a larger celebration of Light(s).
