Phil Bair returns to conclude his series on water Baptism and the Lord's Supper. In this episode, we focus in on the Lord's Supper to determine if it is an essential sacrament, an symbolic ordinance/command or is it an optional remembrance.

Tyler Fowler, one of the hosts of Faith Unaltered, is my friend and brother in Christ. Recently, he has decided to commit himself to Eastern Orthodoxy. One of the main reasons he left Protestantism and got interested in Orthodoxy was due to the issue of Biblical Canonicity. Orthodoxy makes the claim that they have infallible extra-biblical traditions that warrant their inclusion of deuterocanonical books in the inspired Bible; I assess whether such claims are really warranted or not!

I provide a quick (less than 1 hour) video response on my take on the objections raised to the Ontological Argument during the debate's rebuttal section. I hope it is helpful for people.

Christian philosopher and apologist, Phil Bair, watched the Great God Debate I did with Travis Worth, David J. and Jordan form Reasons to Doubt and he wanted to do a follow up show on that debate with the two Atheists. Phil is the author of "Machines Don't Laugh: Confronting the Fallacies of Atheism . . . Again" which refutes the New Atheists and wanted to engage some of the Atheists points during the debate, David and Jordan were kind enough to oblige- so enjoy the conversation between them.

Experts Bob Rucker and Hugh Farey join me to analyze Pesce Delfino's "Hot Bas-Relief" method as well as what I (Dale) think is the best of the "Ordinary Artistic" hypotheses, Dr. Colin Berry's "Toastograph" hypothesis; otherwise known as his “FILM-SET” Model 10 method. Shroud skeptic Dr. Colin Berry has been and remains invited to be guest on this Panel show to defend his theory- just let me know :) RSM Blog (with free scholarly sources) = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/shroud-panel-review-part-10-the-scorch-toastograph-aka-film-set-model-10-hypotheses/ YouTube Video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuj7Oj_AkOQ Audio Only Link = https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-seeker-ministries/episodes/The-Scorch--Toastograph-aka--FILM-SET-Model-10-Hypotheses-e2e627r

Michael Lofton (not Loftus- sorry) of the Reason & Theology Podcast asked me to do a follow up show to my take on Messianic Prophecies- specifically he wanted me to refute the Maccabean thesis of Daniel 9:24-27. In this episode I refute the claim that the 70 weeks of years correlates to the the time of the Maccabees and refers to the death of the anointed Hugh Priest Onias III.

I was asked to guest star to discuss Christianity with the Atheist YouTuber, Jimmy Tux, on Tux TV. I provide him with a healthy dose of rationality for a change and prove Christianity is the only logical choice! P.S.- Jimmy Tux seems to be starting up a new series demonstrating his ignorance on the Shroud of Turin, in other words, he has chosen.... death. Look out for Shroud experts to refute his nonsense when it comes out; meantime, look at his promo = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiug9nZEYZc RSM Blog = https://realseekerministries.wordpress.com/2023/12/21/honestly-evaluating-christianity-dale-guests-with-atheist-jimmy-tux/ YouTube Video = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he67KDmsy7w Audio Only Link = https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/real-seeker-ministries/episodes/Honestly-Evaluating-Christianity-Dale-Guests-with-Atheist-Jimmy-Tux-e2dhlde

I (Dale) guest star on Luis Dizon’s “1P3” segment of the Reason and Theology Podcast to outline my own nuanced version of an argument from Messianic Prophecies whereby I argue that a unique set of circumstances arises with either the “bona fide” unfalsified claims about Jesus being a viable Messianic candidate are true or else no one is the Jewish Messiah (i.e., the “Bust” option) obtains. I argue this is a rather “extraordinary” circumstance as it is unique despite there being ample opportunity for others to equally qualify based on their own claims and/or in other religions for a similar situation to arise such as in Islam, which claims many Biblical prophecies about Muhammed; unfortunately we see that Islam fails to establish a “Muhammed or Bust” circumstance where as Jesus does so!
