55 - Buddhism 101

Today marks the merger of "The Bible Study Podcast" and "Simple Christianity" YouTube channel! So for followers of the podcast, today is episode 60! And for those following the YouTube channel, we continue on with episode 8. I would strongly encourage both audiences to check out the previous episodes. Especially those from our YouTube channel. Clearly there's a lot to dig into given we are now 60 episodes in. Today's episode begins our chronological study of the Bible, beginning (obviously) with Genesis chapter 1. We'll continue on this course for the time being. Once we finish chapter 11, we will move over to Job. For those who have never read/listened to the Bible in this order, I would encourage you all to look up a chronological Bible. If you've never gone thru the Bible in that order before, I encourage it as it might help to reveal things you've not noticed before. For the questions surrounding verses 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, and 31, I referenced a website (gracethrufaith.com) and specific article. Going forward I will do a better job of summarizing answers found in a source like that so the video has a little more substance than what you got today. So apologies to you all. Check out this article for the answer to the questions I posed: gracethrufaith.com/topical-studies/the-bibles-authority/and-there-was-evening-and-there-was-morning/. For the questions surrounding verse 26, I referenced gotquestions.org who had a thorough answer to the question of the meaning of "the image of God". Check that answer out here: gotquestions.org/God-plural.html See you guys in the next episode! God bless all.

In today's episode we cover our final world religion and conclude this series. This episode is to cover modern Judaism and provide a brief overview of some of the various directions it's taken up to today. Our next episode will be our official launch and merger of the Simple Christianity YouTube channel and our existing show here "The Bible Study Podcast"!! Stay safe and enjoy your new year everyone! God bless

This episode is a little longer than the more recent ones, mostly because I found so much about this religion that paralleled with the Christian faith. It was easy to find concepts that paired with us and I found it a fun one to dig into… Enjoy our dive into Sikhism!

In today’s episode we do a brief overview of the Taoist/Daoist faith/religious philosophy. We’re nearly done with our survey of world religions!Two more to go!Enjoy!

In today’s episode we do a brief overview of Shintoism. A religion primarily followed by those living in Japan, around 2/3’s of the world’s adherents to this faith live in the “Land of the Rising Sun”. Let’s have fun diving in!Enjoy!

In today’s episode we do an overview of the Buddhist faith! It’s our shortest one yet, but there’s so much more that we could have gotten into. I definitely would encourage further study if you’re interested!Email me at [email protected] for any questions or comments. Enjoy!

A quick update from me and a potential glimpse into the future of the show… depending on what I decide to do of course! 😊Link to the YouTube show I referenced:https://youtube.com/@simplechristianity1397?si=oNdBL20g3DJlsRePEmail: [email protected] don’t try to email [email protected]! That email either doesn’t exist or at least, won’t connect you to me! That was a verbal blunder on my part and the lack of recording and editing options, now that I’m on Spotify, make editing that impossible. 😊 Technology can be wonderful sometimes… Sometimes…Till next time!

I advise caution before listening to this episode. This show deals in graphic details of serious addiction and how to overcome. This episode is going to be far more suitable for men than women. And children under 18 should seek to have an open discussion about the contents of this show with a believing parent or a Christian mentor in their life.

In today’s episode we cover the basics of Hinduism so you the believer are equipped to minister to them and share the hope found in Jesus with them. It’s a long one! Hinduism is VERY different from Christianity so there’s a lot to cover. Hope you enjoy!

In today’s episode we discuss some of the basic points of Islam and what Muslims believe and also discuss some potential evangelism strategies to use with the Muslims in your life. And if you don’t know any personally, I would encourage you to try to make a Muslim friend so you can share the love of Christ with them. Enjoy!!!
