Thank you for joining us as we celebrate our 200th episode of Differing Things! Throughout Christianity it has been taught that Jesus was forsaken by the Father at the time of His greatest need. This is a view that should terrify all believers. If the Father can forsake Jesus at the time of His greatest need, why would He not forsake us? Just what is being taught by the Scriptures and how should we understand Jesus' quotation of Ps...

Man's idea of justice is often different than God's idea of justice. Man seeks revenge, while God seeks to rehabilitate. These differences often skew our thinking when it comes to God's future plans. Man, often places upon God our standard of justice. Thank goodness God stays faithful and accomplishes what He set out to do!

Whether in the pub or in the pew, there is one question you can always count on hearing: “Did you see that game?” Sports are prominent in culture and relevant to life, which is why the average sports show often spends as much time talking about ethics, racism, crime, and sexuality, as it does athletics. What is the meaning of sports? This week's Differing Things Podcast attempts to answer this question. Do not forget to leave your...
What exactly is a drink offering and why is it important for a Believer to understand it? There are many offerings in the Old Testament, how do they impact our understanding of the Greek Scriptures?

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?

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.

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!

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?"
