UC Berkeley Update - Plus Q&A on Two Messiahs and More
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST
Intro
Frank reports from UC Berkeley, previews guests and upcoming tour dates, and thanks listeners for support.
What happened last night at UC Berkeley? Frank gives a report from the road followed by listener Q&A about Jesus being the Messiah.
If Jesus is really the Messiah, why isn't there peace on earth? And if He conquered death the first time, why does He need to come again? In this midweek episode, Frank responds to a heartfelt question from a secular Jewish listener living in New York City who is seeking the truth about Jesus. Along the way, he unpacks powerful Messianic prophecies and answers questions like:
- How do we know the disciples didn't alter any of Jesus' teachings after His death?
- What evidence suggests that early Judaism (prior to Christ) believed in two Messiahs (or two "comings")?
- What makes Zechariah 9 and Isaiah 53 such clear predictions of Jesus’ first coming?
- Where else do we see Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament?
- Why is understanding Old Testament prophecies crucial for grasping the Christian faith?
- Where do we find evidence of Jesus' second coming and His claims as the Messiah in the New Testament?
- What's the significance of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD?
- Why didn’t Jesus bring peace to the world the first time He came?
Later in the program, Frank also answers:
- Why is "missionary dating" so risky?
- Is religion just a matter of preference, like picking your favorite ice cream flavor?
- What’s going on with all these Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories?
