God Vows to Destroy Everything — Then Changes His Mind (Dan McClellan and Dan Beecher; Data Over Dogma podcast on YouTube)

Zephaniah is only three chapters long, and it comes out swinging: God announces plans to sweep every living thing off the face of the earth, and it escalates from there.

This episode, we're going cover to cover through one of the twelve minor prophets: what "the day of the Lord" meant before there was such a thing as eschatology, who exactly the "host of heaven" are, and why "minor" has nothing to do with quality.

Then, after forty verses of unrelenting devastation, the book pivots to "sing aloud, O daughter Zion" — so who tacked on the happy ending, and why?

The mistranslated prophecy about Jesus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObuGD1asTqg

 

Did Jesus Fulfill Prophesy? (Dan McClellan; Data Over Dogma podcast on YouTube)

The birth of Jesus is obviously one of the most important Christian narratives. Or is it two of the most important Christian Narratives? Either way, one of the great apologetic claims about nativity is that it fulfilled over three hundred prophesies. This week, we're going to look at what Ken Ham's Answers in Genesis says about some of those prophesies, and see if those claims hold up.

Then it's roll-play time. Dan B will do his best to take the place of online apologists who challenge Dan M's claims. Will McClellan actually answer their complaints, or will this be an exercise in straw-manning their arguments? You be the judge!

When Prophecy-Science Fails (w/Thomas Kelly) (Conspirituality podcast #284)

In 1954 a doomsday alien cult headed up by Chicagoland housewife Dorothy Martin was waiting for the cataclysmic flood that would herald the arrival of spaceships to transport her and her followers to safety. When the hour came and went and nothing happened, she and her followers made up a Bible’s worth of excuses, saying that the group's penitence and piety had saved them, and so the failure of the prophecy was actually a validation of their new religion. And even though its central claim had been refuted, they accelerated their efforts to proselytize and convert new followers.

This is the story of the 1956 classic study, When Prophecy Fails, by Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter.

Problem is—this didn't really happen. At least not that way. As our guest this week Thomas Kelly points out from his investigation of newly unsealed archival materials, the psychologists not only embedded themselves in Martin's cult in a way that provoked their most irrational statements, they fudged the outcome of Martin story to suit their virally popular new theory of cognitive dissonance.

Problematic Prophecy (Dan McClellan'; Data Over Dogma podcast)

Have all of the prophecies about Jesus' death and resurrection already happened? Did the apocalypse come and go, and now we're just coasting?

Here's the thing about prophecies: the good ones are never specific enough! Sure, every now and then someone will come along and give exact dates and times for when some apocalyptic event is going to happen, but those guys are inevitably just proven wrong.

Then there are the other prophets. The biblical ones. They use heavy metaphors, preferring to talk about statues made of different materials, or beasts with the head of one animal and the claws of another, and we're left to try and piece together what the heck they're talking about. This conundrum has led to countless schools of thought regarding biblical prophecy, and today we're discussing one fairly prevalent (if controversial) one known as preterism.

After that, we'll look at the grand-daddy of prophecy itself: Revelation! Fire-and-brimstone preachers love turning to the apocalypse of John to terrify their congregations into a constant state of anxious preparedness, but it's possible those congregants wouldn't be quite as worried if they knew the full history of that book. Did the early church leaders love it, or was there maybe some controversy about its veracity? (Spoiler: it's that second thing)

Yes, Jesus was a FAILED PROPHET (feat Tim O'Neill) (Mike Winger / InspiringPhilosophy response)(Paulogia)

Many argue Jesus predicted He would return in the 1st century and since this did not occur Jesus uttered a false prophecy. But did Jesus really predict His 2nd coming would occur in the 1st century? Tim O'Neill from ‪@historyforatheists9363‬ joins me to look at the claims of ‪@InspiringPhilosophy‬ and ‪@MikeWinger‬.

God Told Kent Christmas He's Going To Start Killing "Wicked People' To Remove them from office

Old Testament Does Not Foretell Jesus' Birth (feat Kipp Davis) (Lee Strobel Case for Christmas 4)

In this last of a four-part study, Lee Strobel points to Old Testament prophecy as the silver bullet in the case for the historicity of the Jesus birth narrative in his Case for Christmas. But Dr @Kipp Davis (a specialist in Second Temple Judaism and the Dead Sea Scrolls) joins Paulogia to investigate the same... but comes to very different conclusions.
