Is God a War Criminal?

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshow In today's episode, Becket looks at a New York Times article called "In this Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God" and exposes the ignorance of the writer. Every Christmas and Easter, the New York Times and other media try to undermine the veracity of The Gospel, The Resurrection, God and the Christian Faith. Becket points out the flaws in the article and reveals the biblical truth. Sowing doubt is a favorite past-time of the media, but as Christians we can have confidence in The Gospel and the person and work of Jesus Christ.The Becket Cook Show Ep. 71WATCH THIS EPISODE OF THE BECKET COOK SHOW ON YouTube: https://youtu.be/73TbvnKVeMcWANT TO DONATE TO BECKET'S MINISTRY?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/becketcookVenmo: @Becket-CookWANT MORE?Buy Becket Cook's book about his dramatic conversion from gay atheist to born-again Christian: "A Change of Affection: A Gay Man's Incredible Story of Redemption" HERE: https://amzn.to/3pzVqtjSTAY CONNECTED:Twitter: https://twitter.com/becketcook/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becketcook/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/becket.cook/www.becketcook.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshow Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

How Did We Get Here? Carl R. Trueman Interview

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket chats with Carl Trueman about his book "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," which explores how we got to this strange place in culture, going all the way back to 18th century philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the Romantic poets, Nietzsche, Darwin, Freud, and more. We discover through these key historical figures how our modern world was shaped and the dramatic effects their ideas have had on our culture today including the previously incoherent phrase, "I am a woman trapped in a man's body," and how this phrase came to be known as coherent and meaningful in our world. You will be surprised how far-reaching these ideas are and how they are in the social imaginary whether we realize it or not. This episode will help you understand how we got to the chaos and confusion of our culture in the 21st century. Carl R.

Are We Misinterpreting the Bible? Alan Shlemon Interview

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket chats with Alan Shlemon from Stand to Reason about Hermeneutics - the discipline of interpreting the Bible. We learn how context and history play an important role in our understanding, and how modern Christians tend to overlook literary themes when reading scripture. It is important for us in the modern church to respect the history, culture and true meanings behind the biblical text. Applying this discipline is crucial to understanding the Bible correctly, and will help you avoid falling into the common mistakes among Bible readers. Our culture would have us interpret the Bible in whatever way feels best to us, but we need to study the Word of God and its original intended meaning rather than bend it to our own cultural whims. We also discuss commonly misunderstood passages in the Bible. Some of these may shock you.
