A while age our Host Bill Petri presented a study about Progressive Revelation and a Bible outline. He attempted to answer the following questions: How do all the books of the Bible relate to each other, and what are they about? Why does Paul read so different than the rest of the Bible? Today's Differing Things looks at these very questions. If you are curious about the Bible or want to study it deeper, this is the perfect startin...
John 3:16 is the most well-known verse in all the Bible. Many Christians use it as a verse to present salvation to the unsaved. By doing this they prove their own ignorance of the Scriptures. John 3:16 is not a verse on how one gets saved today. It is a verse on how the Hebrew people were to be saved in their kingdom program. The present dispensation of the grace of God has a different message. Today's Differing Things Podcast look...
How often have you heard the question "Why do bad things happen to good people? The answer may shock you. The Apostle Paul gives a very clear concise answer. Paul also gives us the solution to all of our problems. The problem is most individuals either fail to read Paul's writings, or they misapply, or misunderstand what is written.
How important is religious freedom to a free society? Is religious liberty essential to the success and survival of the church? Is religious freedom even Biblical? Today's Differing Things Podcast looks at these very important questions.
One of the most powerful verses in all of Scripture is Philippians 3:10. It is divided by its main words and can be stated in its four phrases. 1.) The all-governing passion: "That I may know Him." 2.) The effectual power: "The power of His resurrection. 3.) The essential basis: "The fellowship of His sufferings." 4.) The progressive principle: "Conformed to His death." How do these phrases help us with our Christian life and ident...
Why are so many Christians illiterate about the Scriptures? In the west we have had religious freedom for a long time, and yet our freedom has turned to illiteracy. What impact does this have on our Christian life, and why is it so important?
What does the Greek word mustērion mean? Our English Bibles typically render this word as "mystery," or "secret." What does the Greek word euaggelion mean? Our English Bibles typically render it as "gospel," "evangel," or "good news." How does our understanding of these words impact the preaching of the cross? Is prophecy about the cross the same as the preaching of the cross, or are they different things? Christianity has allowed...
The book of Judges is not just a book about individual stories, but a book about Israel's repeated rebellion against God. The more an individual reads and studies this book the more one can see ancient Israel foreshadowing the modern United States of America. Both had great opportunity to be a great vessel for God's Word to go forth, yet both chose a different path. How does the book of Judges relate to America today?
The Peace Offering of Leviticus remains an enigma to the vast majority of Christians. It is a very complex, yet profound offering that tells us much about our Savior and humanity's relationship with Him. It is crucial for a believer to understand this offering to appreciate what it means to have peace with God.
What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says, "I am crucified with Christ?" What are the ramifications of being "crucified with Christ?" The Apostle Paul has much to say about this topic in his Galatian epistle. Our host Bill Petri will look at this very profound teaching, and its ramifications to humanity.
Christians throughout the west talk about being born again. Jesus in John chapter 3 talked about being born again? What does it actually mean to be born again? How are we in the 21st century to understand this concept? Does it even apply to us? Join us as we examine this very important topic.
Recently our host Bill Petri spoke at a Bible Conference in Northeast Ohio. At that conference our dear friend and brother Phil Scranton did a message that so impressed our host he wanted to share it with you, our listeners! While reading through the first chapter of Genesis the reader is introduced to three different realms. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the only person to have been a citizen of these three realms, why? What...
Today's special guest Ulric Petri joins our host, Bill Petri, to discuss several Bible topics. Some of the topics are collectivism versus individualism, The Book of Ruth, how a soulish Christian remains a child and several other topics. It is a fascinating discussion that allows the listeners to listen in on what a true discussion of the Scriptures looks like.
Socialism is an economic system that is slowly but steadily gaining in popularity with our younger generations. The rise of political figures like AOC, and Bernie Sanders continue to drive socialism in the USA. With its increasing popularity we must ask, "What does the Bible teach about it?"
Christianity as a whole has been very confused as to who the bride of Christ is. Some say it is the church, others say it is Israel, and still others say it is both. We need to ask, "What says the Scriptures." It is only through a very in-depth study of the words used that we can come to an answer. Please make sure to give us a like, and make sure to follow us!
Most of us have heard some preacher, pastor, or teacher claim that Jesus spoke about "hell" more than anyone. It is a very curious claim for two reasons:
Considering these realities, it is important to examine the context of each of Jesus' eleven "...
The vast majority of Christians will trace the conflict between Arabs and Jews in the Middle East back to Isaac and Ishmael. Considering the current situation in the middle east, the subject of the Biblical roots of the conflict is a timely one. For this reason, we need to examine the role of doctrinal interpretations, particularly concerning the role of Ishmael. Did the patriarchs determine the fate of the Arabs, Jews, and modern ...
Vast numbers of Christians fail to grasp the significance of the Levitical offerings. Failure to grasp the types is a failure to grasp some profound truths about our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Grain offering is one of these offerings. What is it trying to show us about Jesus Christ?
