Differing Things is a podcast which focuses on how far religion and society have deviated from the Bible. This podcast will cover many topics both spiritual, and current to draw our listeners closer to their Creator!
Special guest host Jim Johnson joins the Differing Things Podcast all the way from the United Kingdom to share why it is important for us to love our enemies. The greatest love ever displayed was the love our Savior Jesus Christ displayed when He commended His love toward us when we were His enemies. Loving your enemies is a theme that runs all through Scripture, and especially in the Scriptures relating to the Body of Christ.
God has a reason for everything He does. Every action He takes is always right , and good. Many ask, "How could God destroy two whole cities." What lessons can we learn from their destruction? Careful study of these two cities will show how similar western democracies are to them. It is important for us to learn from their downfall and judgment while we still can!
Genesis 6:1-4 fascinates many Bible readers and scholars because of the mysterious identity of both the "sons of God" and the "Nephilim." Who are these strange beings? Who does Scripture refer to as the "sons of God?" This is the framework of this week's Differing Things Podcast!
The most misunderstood festival in all of Scripture is Pentecost. What is it, and what is its purpose? Is it the start of something? How does it relate to the first advent; to redemption? Join us as we look at this very important festival.
Have you ever noticed how Scripture describes the love God has for us. It is amazing how similar a mother's love is. Often in Scripture we could be speaking of a mother and her love for her child or husband and mistake it as a passage describing God's love for us. Motherhood is noble -- let us rejoice God gave such a gift to humanity!
After water baptism there is not a doctrine which divides believers as much as the gift of tongues. So, what does the Bible teach about the gift of tongues? Is this a gift still in operation today or did it cease? The ecclesia is very divided about this topic. Join us for a look at this very controversial topic.
Is American society out of control? Where does moral chaos take us?
Our host Bill Petri discusses with Bible scholar and teacher John Ewen about the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This topic is critical if we are to fully understand our identification in Jesus Christ!
In Paul's letters to the Thessalonians, Paul made it clear that members of the Body of Christ need to keep at their labors, for the way of Christ is not idleness but service and excellence in work!

2 Chronicles 7:14 contains a promise to heal the land if the people repent. We must ask ourselves is this a promise God is giving to all the nations of the earth or is it a promise to a very select nation. How does this verse apply in today's Dispensation of the Grace of God? Do not forget to follow us, and leave your comments. You can also follow us on Instagram, our thread is @differingthingspodcast
In today's world we must ask: "Does the resurrection of Jesus Christ matter?" "Does it truly make a difference?" The Apostle Paul sure thought so. In writing to the Corinthians, Paul was faced with the startling news that some in Corinth denied the future resurrection of the body. Death was the end. Not much has changed since the first century. Today, the same view is held by skeptics of the faith. How important is the resurrection...
Easter is nearly upon us. When we read of Jesus Christ's crucifixion we read that the Passover was nigh. What is the Passover, what is its significance? Our host Bill Petri interviews Bible Scholar and Teacher John Ewen about the topic of Passover. If you truly want to understand why Passover is still relevant you will want to listen!

Paul's distrust of human centered ethics stems from his understanding of the human condition. With Adam humanity fell -- human fallenness meaning that people cannot always know and do what is right (Rom.3:10-11). They became slaves to sin (Rom.6:17-20). Their minds are blinded by the God of this eon (2 Cor.4:4). Thankfully, Paul lays out a Biblical ethic for the Body of Christ. It is a Christ centered ethic. How does this impact ou...
In some communities, even Christian communities there is a stigma around having a mental illness or struggling with mental health issues. Unfortunately, this can make it very difficult for those facing such issues. What do the Scriptures teach about mental health and mental illness? You can now follow us Instagram.

The Apostle Paul creates much confusion among Pastors, teachers, and denominationalists. Were the 12 apostles lax in completing their commission so God had to raise up Paul? Did the 12 act in error when they ordained Matthias to replace Judas? What does the Word of God tell us about the twelve apostle's commission and His raising up of this new Apostle Paul?
The Greek word Gehenna is used twelve times in our New Testament. Typically, most English Versions translate the word as hell. Is this a good rendering? What do the Scriptures of the New Testament mean when it speaks of Gehenna? How should the word be understood? Often the phrase unquenchable fire is used when speaking of Gehenna. Does unquenchable mean non-ending? How does Jesus' sacrifice of Himself for sin impact any of this?
For any Bible study to be true and accurate it must recognize Paul's authority and message as being something distinct and separate from what existed before him. Exploring Paul's background will help us understand him better and to interpret his words accurately. So, who was this man, Paul?
The Jennifer Crumbley conviction should send shivers down the spine of every Bible Believer. Once again, the United States of America has decided to ignore clear Bible teaching and replace that teaching with its new social order. We should be terrified of the consequences!
The first poem of the Bible is found in Genesis 1:27. In Hebrew, it is composed of three lines of four words each.

betsalem ELOHIM bara otov
zakar uneqevah bara otom
