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

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? But what about other books, like the Apocrypha or books from the competing world religions?  What is it about the 66 books that makes the Bible the Word of God

With our churches showing the history of poor discipleship through the means of church music eroding our churches, we need to get back to understanding the importance of the Bible to the Christian church. In this show today, we address these questions and more.

If you missed our last episode I also mentioned how we can get you a copy of The Berean Plan, which is a plan to guide you get the most of your Bible reading in one year. If you would like a copy of that, I would love to send you a PDF copy of the plan.  Also, if you have any questions, please send me an email with your questions.  I will be sure to respond.  Send your comment or question to roblundberg315@gmail.com.

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

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? Is it spurious or authoritative?

With our churches showing the history of poor discipleship through the means of church music eroding our churches, we need to get back to understanding the importance of the Bible to the Christian church. In this show today, we address what is the Bible and what makes it what it is.

Do All Religions Say and Teach the Same Things?

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 not so, and how to look at this objection from several angles. I also bring in a concept that is driving this objection called perennialism, the idea that there is one key truth in all the religions that makes them as true as the other. This is superficially possible at best, and fundamentally wrong; and I explain in this episode.

If you have any questions, please send me an email with your questions.  I will be sure to respond.  Send your comment or question to roblundberg315@gmail.com.

Rob's Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

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 why it makes a difference. If you have any questions, please send me an email with your questions.  Will be sure to respond.  Send you comment or question to roblundberg315@gmail.com.

What is Unbiblical About "Mindfulness"

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 you may be involved in the wrong kind of "mindfulness."

What is mindfulness? Is there anything compatible with the biblical concept of being mindful? In this episode, I show how being mindful biblically as opposed to the practice of mindfulness are worldviews apart from one another. Again, syncretism was not only a problem that the nation of Israel had in Old Testament times; but many Christians today have the same problems with syncretizing New Age and Eastern practices with the Christian faith. And mindfulness is one of those new age practices.

What is BIblically Wrong with the Law of Attraction?

What is BIblically Wrong with the Law of Attraction?

The law of attraction is one of the most deceptive New Age practices that has been smuggled into the church like a Trojan Horse. If you find yourself reading personal development books, listening to self-help podcasts, attending personal growth seminars, or investing in life coaching, this episode will help you recognize red flags inside of this industry and check any questionable thoughts and beliefs you may hear against the truth of the Bible.

In Part 2 of this two part series, I share with you the biblical problems of the Law of Attraction and how its defenders mishandle the Scriptures to support it. The meaning behind anything is found in its origin, and trying to connect something that has occultic, or mystical roots with the BIble is what is called syncretism. Syncretism was not only a problem that the nation of Israel had in Old Testament times; but many Christians today have the same problems with syncretizing New Age and Eastern practices with the Christian faith.

If you find yourself reading personal development books, listening to self-help podcasts, attending personal growth seminars, or investing in life coaching, this episode will help you recognize red flags inside of this industry and check any questionable thoughts and beliefs you may hear against the truth of the Bible.

In this episode, part one of a two part series, I share with you the background of the law of attraction, how it stems from the mind sciences and why is it is totally foreign to the biblical worldview. Part 2 will address this issue from a biblical context and point to how Christians embracing the law of attraction misuse Scripture to make their case.

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

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 totally foreign to biblical prayer and meditation. I also share the dangers that are rooted in this faulty 'spiritual formations' practice.

Why It Is Not Okay to Pray to Angels

Why It Is Not Okay to Pray to Angels

Every so often you will hear or read about someone praying to angels. Those in the new age spirituality and in the New Apostolic Reformation will often talk about communicating with angels.

Why I Cannot Accept the New Age Worldview as True

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. It is popularly called the "new age movement," but really there is no central headquarters or founder of this movement. In fact it is esoteric and depending on who you speak to, embracing this 'new spirituality' no one person will hold all of the same beliefs as another.

In this episode I present to you what the foundational views of the new spirituality, vis-a-vis the new age movements, and five characteristics that show it not compatible to the Christian worldview and I why I do not accept the new age worldview (pantheism) as a true worldview.  If you have any questions, please send me an email with your questions.  Will be sure to respond.  Send you comment or question to roblundberg315@gmail.com.

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. Too many times am I hearing that the apologist is about arguing for the faith against other religions when apologetics is much more than that.

In this episode I present four prongs for apologetics. Those four prongs are seen in the graphic for this episode: Validate Christian Truth, Save the Lost, Refute Error and Strengthen the Church. WIth the direction that the culture is taking, believers and the church can no longer have the misconception of arguing people into Heaven.

Please send me an email on how you can incorporate this understanding in your life and in the life of your church.

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

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).

Are Communism and Socialism Compatible with the Bible? No!

In this episode of The Let's Get Real Podcast, I respond to the question, are communism and socialism compatible with the Bible? On this show, I open up for you what the tenets of both ideologies claim, and how they contradict their words in praxy. The early Christian church was not socialistic and today's communism is the rising zeitgeist of the failure of past generations.

The False Prophecies of LDS non-Prophet Joseph Smith

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.  Deuteronomy 18:20-22 tells clearly about false prophets:  

"But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’  You may say in your heart, ‘How will we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?’  When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him."  

A false Jesus, a false gospel and a false prophet, the LDS Church is not a true church. The true Jesus died for your sins, no works required on your part. He died as a substitutionary sacrifice. But He was also risen and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. He did not come to the Americas to preach to the Indians, and there is no archaeological evidence for the Book of Mormon (more on that next week!)

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

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 disappearing from the earth?  

In this podcast I answer these two challenges. Mormonism and Islam are the only two religions, in religious history, that were brought about by angelic proclamation. Was it really an angel from God or the "angel of light"?    The Apostle Paul warned the Churches at Galatia (1:8-9), and he warns us today that, "even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, even now I say again: if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!"

If you have ever shared with or conversed with the LDS missionaries, or if you know any Mormons, you will want to listen to this podcast episode. If you have any questions or would like more information about our ministry, please email me at roblundberg315@gmail.com.  If you would like to check out my website to learn more on how you can defend your Christian faith, check out roblundberg.org.  Let us know if you would like us to come to your church for a seminar workshop on the LDS church or any other cult or new religious movement.

The Let's Get Real Podcast: What Does the LDS Church Believe about the Basics?

What does the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (a.k.a. Mormons and the Church of Jesus Christ) believe about the basics? While they may use the same terms as Christians use, their religious movement is a far cry from being historically orthodox (correct teaching). How do the LDS view God, the Priesthood, salvation and other matters are all discussed in this episode.

This episode is part of our counter-cult apologetics arm of
this ministry. If you go back to our episode on How to Recognize a Cult or Cultic Teaching, you will find that I mentioned the Mormons has violating all of the four mathematical operations, by adding sources, subtracting from the person of Christ, multiplying the requirements for salvation and dividing loyalties. This episode is the first of a few that I will be doing exposing the teachings of the LDS Church.

As promised in the episode is the link to the Terminology and Differences from Sandra Tanner, Utah Lighthouse. Sandra is a former Mormon and a founder of the Utah Lighthouse with her late husband Jerald Tanner.  This podcast is the audio arm of Rob Lundberg Ministries.  This ministry seeks to proclaim the truth of the historical Christian faith; equip believers to share the gospel of Jesus, defend the faith, and engage various religious worldviews, ideologies and zeitgeists which are competing against the Christian faith.  If you have any questions please feel free to send me an email at roblundberg315@gmail.com.

Is the Nature of God Triune or Tawhid?

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." In response to this I discuss the Oneness of God from both the Jewish and the Muslim understands and then move into the understanding that the Persons of the triune Godhead, first are NOT God, Jesus and Miriam, BUT Father, Son and Holy Spirit. After knocking that objection down, I go back to the illustration I have used in the last two episodes to explain that the Trinity is on God (a What) that discloses Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that the Three Whos in the Trinity are co-equal in essence and nature.

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

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 co equal in essence and nature as the rest of the Persons of the Godhead. Check out the link below for the complete study of the last two episodes:

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Eight Ways that Anti-Intellectualism Harms the Church

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Eight Ways that Anti-Intellectualism Harms the Church

When asked to define the greatest commandment of the Law, Jesus answered that inquiry by saying, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command." But over the last several decades, it seems that one aspect has eluded the modern church. Indeed the church notes a the great need to love the Lord with the heart, which is the set of the will and the emotions. The modern American church also keys in on the love one must hold for God with one's soul, which is the conscious (being) of the individual. However the third aspect of the Great Commandment seems to have eluded the American church. As Christians, we are also commanded to love the Lord with all our mind. Extreme fideism (believing that the Christian life is only about faith without reason) has led the church down the path known as anti-intellectualism.

In this episode, I wrap up this series with presenting 8 ways that anti-intellectualism is harming your churches. We need to stop trying to storm the gates of hell with a water pistol, and come to the battle with a life we are willing to defend at all costs.

The Let's Get Real Podcast w/Rob Lundberg: Anti-intellectualism and Deconstructing Your Faith

The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg: What is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism?

The Let's Get Real Podcast with Rob Lundberg: What is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism?

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism is the the worldview of many Millennials and Gen Z's. The term that was first introduced in the 2005 book Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers by the sociologist Christian Smith with Melinda Lundquist Denton. The term is used to describe what they consider to be the common beliefs among U.S. youths.  

How would you describe it?  Moralistic therapeutic deism consists of: (1) A God exists who created and ordered the world and watches over human life on earth. (2) God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions. (3) The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself. (4) God does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when God is needed to resolve a problem. (5) Good people go to heaven when they die.

Moralistic therapeutic deism is not a biblical view. In fact it has become a driving force for the kind of skepticism that leads many to deconstruct whatever faith they have. It is the product that is reflective of a weak discipleship in many churches that promotes an anti-intellectualism that avoids the questions about faith coming from the culture.  Don't think the younger generation is not skeptical?  Guess again.

Today, these beliefs are a reflection of many Millenials and Gen Z young people and the catalytic beliefs for those who now declare themselves as Progressive Christians, or Nones, even atheists?  Just recently, Sean McDowell posted an article entitled, "
HOW SECULAR IS GEN Z? MORE THAN YOU MAY THINK."

The Let's Get Real Podcast: What is the Greatest Apologetics Chapter in the Bible?

The Let's Get Real Podcast: What is the Greatest Apologetics Chapter in the Bible?

If you were asked, what is the greatest chapter in the Bible that displays apologetics, what would say? Some might say, 1 Kings 18 where Elijah confronts the false prophets of Baal. Others will most likely go to Acts 17. In Acts 17 we see three instances or accounts of the Apostle Paul's engaging his audiences

His first stop was Thessalonica where he disputed his critics using the Scriptures, and there was a result to his apologetic polemic. The second stop was Berea, where the people were described as being more noble-minded, searching the Scriptures to see if the things Paul was saying were so. The result was the same, the Holy Spirit drew believers into the faith through Paul's polemic and the preaching of the gospel.  And then it was on to Athens.

This is where we spend the most time on this show because there is more stated in the text to draw out that Paul had to change methods to meet the challenges coming from the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. In this part of this episode I break down how Paul is a model for how we can engage our culture and speak into the issues with the gospel.  

You will want to take notes during this episode as it is full of meat for how we can find ways to reach the happy cultured pagan in our day.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment or email us at roblundberg315@gmail.com.

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Let's Get Real About the What's and Why's of Apologetics

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Let's Get Real About the What's and Why's of Apologetics

The term "apologetics" is a legal term that speaks to the making of a case for something. When we speak of Christian apologetics, we are addressing the idea of making a case for why Christianity is true. In this episode, I address what apologetics is and what it is not. I also share a little bit of my background as to how I got into apologetics and why it is important.

Apologetics is also multifaceted in that it can deepen our discipleship, refute error in the church, validate Christian truth, and aid in our evangelism.  I also address the goals of apologetics, what it does not do, and what it can do. If you are one that thinks it is not necessary for the church today, the chances are that you have not studied the Bible to see that all throughout the Bible we see those in the forefront defending their faith.

Socrates once states that "the unexamined life is a life not worth living." But I tell each and everyone of US, that the unexamined belief is one that is not worth believing. Apologetics helps you and I engage what we believe in order to go deeper in our discipleship and live a biblically disciplined life to the glory of our Lord.

If you would like to know more about Christian apologetics, I am in the process of developing a full program for all level in Apologetics at the local Bible College and seminary. Please email if you are local and would like to know more about this program. I can be reached at

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Eight Thoughts from the Proverbs on How to Talk to Skeptics
Aug 08, 202127:31
The Let's Get Real Podcast: When You Say God, Which God Do You Believe In?

The Let's Get Real Podcast: When You Say God, Which God Do You Believe In?

In your attempts to share the Good News of the Christ, have you ever had someone put a halt to your advance and tell you that they "believe in God?"  There are many views as what that belief might be that we need to probe so that the truth can be presented. Springboarding off of Point 3 in the Twelve Points that Show Christianity is True ("A theistic God exists"), this episode addresses the various views people hold about what kind of God they believe in.
 
In this episode, I first define what we mean by biblical theism, and then move into addressing some of the popular "isms" that do not fall under the historical biblical of God.  Those isms are: deism, finite godism, pantheism, panentheism, and even henotheistic polytheism. Many people have not given much thought to this question, and that is because the church is not teaching deeper on who God is. Think of it like this:

If you say that God created everything but is not involved or does not intervene in the world, you might be a deist.
If you say that God is everything and everything is God, you might be a pantheist.
If you say that God is in everything and everything is in God, you might be a panentheist.
If you say that God is not infinite but finite and beyond the world, you might be embracing finite godism.
If you say that you believe in Jesus Christ, but believe that man can become a god in the afterlife you hold to polytheism.

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #12 Therefore the Bible is the Word of God and Anything Opposed to It is False

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #12 Therefore the Bible is the Word of God and Anything Opposed to It is False

If you recall, I mentioned that the Bible would distinguish between the remaining theistic worldviews. Since God cannot lie, it is safe to say that we can conclude that the Bible is in fact the Word of God. This means that Christianity is objectively true because Jesus taught that the Bible is the Word of God (Point 11); and it is true regardless of what anyone believes or any religions teaches about it.

On the Let's Get Real Podcast, we examine the twelfth point, which states the final therefore: "Therefore the Bible is the Word of God, and Anything Opposed to it Must Be False." In this episode point out that other religions to have moral truths and theological truths that are congruent where they agree with the Bible. But I also point out that the fundamentals of those religions are in conflict with the major core essentials of historical Christianity: a theistic God exists; miracles of God are possible; Jesus Christ is God; Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead; and the Bible is the Word of God.

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #11 Jesus Affirmed the Bible is the Word of God

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #11 Jesus Affirmed the Bible is the Word of God

When we began our investigation of the reliability of the Bible (Point 6) focused only on the New Testament. The reason for this is because that is where we learn who Jesus is (even though Jesus was prophesied in the Old Testament). We concluded that Jesus is God and that whatever He teaches is necessarily true (Step 10).  Therefore we can trust whatever Jesus teaches about the Bible as whole.  

On this week's Let's Get Real Podcast, I address several passages that affirm Jesus testifying that what we have in the Old Testament and His promising the New Testament is truly the Word of God. The Qur'an is not the Word of God. The Vedas, Gita, and Upanishads are not the Word of God. The Tipitaka of Buddhism is not the Word of God. The Scriptures, we know as the 66 books of the Bible, are truly the Word of God, because Jesus confirmed it. Jesus did not lie, nor was He delusional.

Have a problem with this?  Take it up with Jesus.  He is the Word made flesh (John 1:14), and spoke with authority using "it is written."  I share in more detail the meaning of this phrase and why it has an authoritative tone.  If you have a question about this subject, please email us at roblundberg315@gmail.com or go to the

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Point 9: Therefore Jesus is God

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Point 9: Therefore Jesus is God

We are three quarters of the way through The Twelve Points That Show Christianity Is True. Here is where we are up to this point:

1. Truth about reality is knowable.
2. Opposites cannot both be true (The Law of Noncontradiction).
3. It is true the theistic God exists.
4. If God exists, then miracles are possible.
5. Miracles performed in connection with a truth claim are acts of God to confirm the truth of God through a messenger of God.
6. The New Testament is historically reliable.
7. As witnessed in the New Testament, Jesus claimed to be God.
8. Jesus' claim to divinity was proven by miracles, especially the Resurrection.

Over the last few weeks, we saw how the New Testament claimed that Jesus is God. Jesus also proved to be God via His resurrection. This week, we solidify the fact of Jesus' deity by discussing a doctrine that validates His being the Second Person of the Godhead.  That doctrine is the Trinity.

Those who object to the Trinity need to understand that though the Bible does not give a prescription of the Trinity, it does give a description of God's disclosure as being triune. The doctrine of the Trinity states that there exists within on God three co-eternal and co-equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Muslims think this is polytheistic, and skeptics think this is a contradiction.  But this is not a contradiction since God is said to be three in a different way than He is one.

Jesus did not empty Himself of His deity as heretics might think and write about. Instead He added humanity to His deity thus having both a divine and human nature. Jesus claimed to be Yahweh, the one true God, and He proved it by rising from the dead, doing miracles, and refuting His critics by claiming to be the I am (John 8:58).

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #8 Jesus Proved He is God Via His Resurrection

The Let's Get Real Podcast The Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #8 Jesus Proved He is God Via His Resurrection

Working through this series on the Twelve Points that Show Christianity to be true, we are building our case on logical premises that will assist you in making your case and understanding of the Christian faith credible in a secular society. By way of review let's go through what we have covered to this point: Truth about reality is knowable (Point 1);
The opposite of true is false: the law of noncontradiction (Point 2);
It is true that the theistic God exists (Point 3);
If God exists, then miracles are possible (Point 4);
Miracles are acts of God to confirm a message from God (Point 5);
The New Testament is historically reliable (Point 6);
The New Testament says Jesus claims to be God (Point 7 last week).

On this week's episode, we address the capstone of the Christian faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Since we know that God exists, we also know that miracles are possible. The miracle of the resurrection of Jesus give proof that Christians are not foolish and delusional. In this episode I present five lines of evidence that most critical scholars will grant, when a good historical method is used.  From this we will see that the resurrection best accounts for all the pieces of the puzzle without forcing them to fit. It will also set apart Christianity from the other. two monotheistic religions. That said, Jesus' claims will show to be miraculously validated.

If you have any questions about what you have heard to this point or what you hear on this episode, let me invite you to email me at roblundberg315@gmail.com and we can discuss. If you are a skeptic toward the Christian, I welcome you, but at the same time challenge you to investigate for yourself what this series to this point has been presented.

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Point 7 The New Testament Says Jesus Claimed to Be God

The Let's Get Real Podcast: Point 7 The New Testament Says Jesus Claimed to Be God

Who is Jesus? Is He just a great teacher? Is He just a mere Prophet as Muslims claim? Or is He God in human flesh. The New Testament tells us that Jesus clearly identified Himself as Yahweh, the God of the Bible, in both word and deed such that His First century audience wanted to have Him stoned. The original Apostles also identified Jesus as God, and the earliest Christians understood Jesus' divine identity and worshiped Him as such.

In this episode, I defend these points by presenting several facts about the early testimony of Jesus as well as external sources to back up the primary sources. If you have any questions or comments, please send them to roblundberg315@gmail.com.  Let me also invite you to subscribe to the Let's Get Real Podcast and share it with others.

The Let's Get Real Podcast Introducing the Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #2 The Opposite of TRUE is FALSE

The Let's Get Real Podcast Introducing the Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True: Point #2 The Opposite of TRUE is FALSE

In our culture today, many people "listen with their eyes and think with their feelings." Many of the cultural issues of our day place many people in the reality of subjective truth.  Springboarding off our our first point that truth about reality is knowable (Point 1), we find ourselves making absolute truth claims. Those absolute truth claims cannot be both true and false at the same time. Truth by its very nature excludes its opposite.

If you don't think so, would you feel the same way about things like your integrity, bank account, prescriptions from you physician, personal safety in hazardous environments, or getting wrong results from a True/False test? Making absolute truth claims or being the hearer of them is inescapable.   

On
The Let's Get Real Podcast, we move to the second point of the Twelve Points Showing Christianity as True, the Opposite of True is False and the Law of Non Contradiction. The law of non contradiction states that opposite ideas cannot be both be true at the same time and in the same way. Any claim or viewpoint such as relativism and nominalism (explained in the show) results in contradictions and is always and necessarily false.
