Can a spouse neglect their appearance so much that it becomes physically impossible to be attracted to them anymore? What is the difference between beauty fading with age and neglecting your personal appearance? Is it sinful to be unattracted to your spouse when they neglect their appearance? Is neglecting your personal appearance after marriage indicative of an inward issue? Find out on this episode of Bible Bashed.

As Christmas falls directly on Sunday this year there has arisen a controversy around whether churches should meet as normal or cancel the gathering of the saints to worship God. Many churches have elected to gather and worship as normal, others have opted to move their service to the evening to allow time for opening gifts, and others have chosen to close down all together. Who is right in this scenario? Why does it seem like there is something inherently wrong with closing a church for a holiday that is specifically about Christ? How does this relate to neglecting the gathering of believers? We will discuss all these questions in this episode of Bible Bashed.

Video games are a form of entertainment that has evolved over the years from something that a select minority of social outcasts would spend a lot of time playing into a multi-million dollar industry. Video games have spawned entire franchises that have spanned multiple decades, amassed massive fan bases, and sometimes even have their own dedicated pro level tournaments. The question is, however, are video games acceptable in the eyes of God? Are they the same as spending time watching a show? Should the same rules for other forms of entertainment be applied to video games or should they be in a separate category? Is it akin to girls playing Barbie dolls are can it be for more mature audiences as well? Find out on this episode of Bible Bashed.

Is it really just harmless fun to lie to your kids their whole childhood about a magical obese man who will only give them the presents you bought for them if they are well-behaved? Should Christians just relax and let everyone have a good time? Isn't kind of creepy to let your kids sit on a strange man's lap?

It is easy to throw a bible verse out there as a justification for a specific theological claim. The problem comes when trying to discern whether the verse actually proves the given claim or not. How does someone figure out if a specific passage is being used honestly and correctly or if it is being twisted to mean something the original author didn't intend? On this episode, Harrison and Tim will discuss methods for determining the correct use of a given passage of scripture as well as red flags to look out for by those that twist scripture.

With the rise in specialized diets and the decline in demonstrating hospitality towards one another it has become standard to decline food offered to us. However, in ages past this would have been viewed as a supreme act of disrespect and dishonor. In this episode Harrison and Tim will discuss the biblical implications of rejecting food offered to us due to diets, preferences, and allergies and whether or not it honors God in these various situations.

The Bible tells us that if we ask God's forgiveness for our sins then he is faithful to forgive us. However, there is some disagreement on how often we should ask for forgiveness. The typical orthodox position is that Christians should continue to ask for God's forgiveness, even after salvation, while a smaller group of Christians believe we should only ask for forgiveness at the moment of salvation and then after that we never need to ask again. In this episode Tim and Harrison will discuss which approach is the biblical approach Main Episode's playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtY_5efowCOk74PtUhCCkvuHlif5K09v9 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BibleBashed Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BibleBashed Twitter: https://twitter.com/BibleBashed #forgiveness #sin #forgivenessforsin

A common retort against any Christian that dares to speak out publicly about sin is to simply call them a legalist. In fact, the title of legalist has been thrown around so much that it effectively has lost any bite it used to carry with it. The name now applies to anyone who suggests that people follow God's clear commands. The term legalist has effectively become a meaningless name you call someone when they point out a command found in scripture that you don't like. So if the word's meaning has become muddied due to sloppy usage, what does legalism truly look like? Find out in this episode of Bible Bashed.

It has become increasingly popular to blame a lot of various negative behaviors on someone's mental illness. It is accepted as gospel truth that if someone has been diagnosed by a "doctor" with some form of mental illness then their behavior in many ways is untouchable and so are they. The problem is that the Bible does not seem to point us to the same conclusion. Scripture doesn't seem to paint things like overwhelming anxiety, depression, ADHD, and others as illness at all. Instead scripture likens these as sin instead of illness. In this episode we will discuss whether or not mental illness is real, the difference between psychiatry and addressing real physical injuries that inhibit normal brain function, and more.

Medical assistance in death (MAID) is rising in popularity as an answer to dealing with significant issue relating to one's physical well being or mental issues. The problem is MAID is just a fancy way to dress up what is actually suicide. The argument in favor of MAID is that it isn't murder on a doctor's part if they are just providing the means for a person to follow through. That begs the question; is consent enough to make helping someone commit suicide morally acceptable? Is suicide acceptable in general? Find out in this episode.

There have been much speculation as to why God allowed 2020 to happen. More specifically why God allowed churches all across the world close. One option that has been largely neglected is whether or not God closed the church because He was not satisfied with our worship. He has in the past scolded the Israelites for worshipping Him the way they were commanded to but not doing so in a genuine manner. We must be, at the very least, open to this explanation. #church #churchclosed

It might seem harmless to let your wife constantly drive you around, and in isolation it is. However, it might communicate something deeper when it comes to who leads in the relationship.

The Bible teaches us that our guilt is inherited through our father, Adam. Many Christians abandon this teaching though when discussing what happens to children after they die.

It might surprise you to hear us say that it might not be helpful to read through the entire Bible in a year given how much we value scripture. However, sometimes it can be difficult to follow through with reading the entire Bible in a single year while understanding what is going on. Rather we recommend listening through the Bible in the span of 1-3 months at a time while simultaneously reading 1 book of the Bible every day for a month.

It is not a popular view but emotions are something that can be sinful themselves. Just because they feel out of our control does not mean we will not be held accountable for our emotions.

Just because we are in need of forgiveness, we are not owed forgiveness. This even applies to other people. Just because God has commanded Christians to forgive does not mean that the party who has caused the offense is worthy of forgiveness. This is what makes forgiveness so sweet.

There is something strange about seeing a man being driven around by a woman. Many might immediately think that he has been injured in some way that prevents him from driving. The reason for this is not because there is some secret Bible verse that states it is sinful for a woman to drive a man around. Rather, it feels strange because it communicates something else beyond simply driving a car. It reveals, in part, who is actually taking the lead in the relationship.

Pastors don't talk about Hell anymore. Here's why. In the past, many pastors have preached about Hell, teaching that people who don't follow Jesus will end up there after they die. This teaching has been deemed "unloving" by many Christians who have been taught that we must never offend people when sharing the Gospel. The fact of the matter is this, Jesus taught far more often on Hell than he did Heaven. In fact he was so offensive in his ministry that by the end he only had 150 followers left. If we are to be like Jesus we will stop being scared of man and realize if we love them we must warn them that they are going to Hell outside of Christ.

God has designed women, in part, to be beautiful. One of the results of this is that God has commanded women to clothe themselves modestly in order to not be an unnecessary stumbling block as well as withhold themselves for their husband.

One question that is often neglected by even the most faithful of Christian teachers is "What happens to children when they die?" Do they all go to Heaven? Is there an age of accountability? Does God send them to Hell? Listen to part one of our discussion with Conley Owens as we weigh the options and compare them to what God has revealed through scripture.

The world will tell you that you can't help the way you feel and that you are entitled to your feelings. The Bible on the other hand says that we will be held accountable for every thought and action we have. Ever careless word will be judged. We are commanded to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. We are told to avoid anger. So why is it so scandalizing to say that your emotions can be sinful?

In 1 Timothy 2:14 Paul uses the point that Eve was deceived by the serpent as an example of how all women are more prone to deception. This is used as part of the reasoning behind why God does not allow women to be pastors. However in our increasingly feministic society you are simply not allowed to acknowledge the fact that God has designed men and women with specific strengths and weaknesses.

One of the most important aspects of Christianity is forgiveness. We are charged by God to forgive others as He forgives us, which requires us to actually understand how God goes about forgiving us. In this episode of Bible Bashed, we will discuss what forgiveness looks like according to scripture and how we should apply the concept of forgiveness practically when evangelical leaders who are in need of forgiveness refuse to admit their fault and ask for it.
