TIMESTAMPS
28:12 Lucas - If we are in a simulation, would God be the one in control of the simulation?
29:45 Leo - The Holy Spirit is quantifiable, it helps our brains to fend off bad stuff, and caller has written a paper about it
40:58 Nathaniel Ward - Mezzo joins; Caller claims there is power in the name of Jesus and calls both hosts serpents; Call devolves to Justin and Mezzo clowning on caller; Evolution vs creation
1:16:30 (Nathaniel Ward) - When was Jesus born? Caller runs
1:35:00 Crystal joins to remind everyone that today is the last day to bid on a signed Bible
1:38:45 Larry Speghetti - Caller claims to be Jewish but gets antisemitic real quick; Is it good when God has women graped (2 Samuel 12)? Caller claims that anything God says to do is good; Is God just?
2:14:15 Craigp45 - Did the universe have a beginning? Is an infinite past possible? A-theory and B-theory of time and what time is; What exists necessarily?
2:47:20 (Craigp45) - Was Jesus a false prophet? What will happen in the new Jerusalem? Will there be ongoing physical sacrifices (Ezekiel 44)? Caller doesn’t really settle on any explanation
3:08:22 (Craigp45) Is Ezekiel 46 a metaphor or will it happen? Did Jesus fulfill any prophecies? Why did Jesus come to Earth?
3:42:55 Benson - What does Matthew 24 say will happen when Jesus returns? Caller has connection issues
4:02:50 Steve - DNA is information so it has a mind behind it; M’s talks DNA and the evolution of genes
4:39:35 (Steve) - How about deistic evolution? How old is the Earth and how do thermodynamics/dark energy play into it? Can God act outside of time? What does “theory” mean in science?
5:13:25 LastIchEffort - Believes in a creator but not a god
5:15:00 WillHeFindFaith - Caller yaps and goes off of personal experience a lot; Caller claims the Old Testament God is wicked but Jesus is different; Why does the quote in Matthew 27:9 not appear in Jeremiah? Answer: a lot of stuff in the Bible has changed over time
5:39:10 (WillHeFindFaith) - Did God tell David to do a census and was it against God’s laws (2 Samuel 24)? Did Jesus tell us to follow the Law of Moses?
5:56:45 (WillHeFindFaith) - Is Jesus in the Old Testament? Was Jesus the snake in the Garden of Eden? Is Revelation true?
6:37:00 Superchats and wrap up
