#69 The Mysterious Case of Lee Strobel

In this episode, I discuss his book and film "The Case for Christ" and all of it's claims why everyone should come to Jesus. Are his claims valid, do they hold any water, or are they all just bad Apologetics?

#66 The Final Sin of the Jews: According to the Gospel of Mark

This episode is a brief run down of the events that were taking place in Judea during the early part of the first century when the Jewish Revolutionaries decided to engage in a war with the Roman Empire. The events of the war, the people involved and the locations seem to be reflected in The Gospel of Mark from a Christian perspective. If this is true, the this helps us place the earliest Gospel account to after the war 70 CE.

#63 The Deir Alla Inscriptions
In this episode we hop into our "time dune buggies" and head back to Jordan from Shechem near the Soleb Temple where we find the Deir Alla Inscriptions. Why is this site so important? Because it gives us a different meaning for "Shaddai" or "Shadday" as found in the Bible being paired with El (El Shaddai). In this 7th century inscription Shadday is a goddess who oversees the Sadayin Deities who were in charge of curses. So hop on and lets go!

#61 The Mysteries of the Soleb Temple and The God of Israel
Welcome to the first episode of season 8, The Mysteries of the Soleb Temple and the God of Israel. In this episode we do a deep dive at an ancient archeological site in the Sudan desert called the Soleb Temple. There is an inscription on a column there that just might link a nomadic tribe called the Shasu to the Israelite God, Yahweh. Interesting though that this inscription in non-theophoric and possibly a common name of a king or a leader. Let's find out!

#56 To be done with Sodom
In this episode, we explore the Sodom and Gomorrah story in the Bible but from a literal and secular standpoint. In this telling of the story, it's not Bible God who crashes down on the Sodomites, it's Abram's Lord who launches a full military attack in the small cities. Not because they were evil and just wanted to have gay sex, but because after 8 years, they refused to pay tribute to this Mesopotamian overlord and they rose up against the government.

#55 On the road to Sodom (me)
In this episode, we pick up with Abraham, Sarah, and this anthropomorphic figure who would be Abraham's Lord. This is a literal interpretation of Genesis chapters 12 through 25, where we try to piece together the original redactor's intentions of the texts. It appears that in 90% of the story, this Lord is characterized as quite human and doing human like things that are very similar to other Mesopotamian kings during that period. The remaining 10% seemingly is more of an immaterial character in the story. Perhaps a local deity other than the Lord himself? Based on the book, "An everlasting quid pro quo" by Bernard Lamborelle

#53 The Unspoken Name יהוה‎
In this new episode, we will delve deep into scripture as well as extrabiblical evidence to understand the origins of the name that should never be spoken, not even by Jewish Rabbis. Where did the srangr Tetragrammaton YHWH originate from, and is it a truncated form of a much longer name or perhaps names. These are the topics that I will discuss in today's show. Enjoy!

#52 God's Great Baals of Fire
This is the fourth installment on this series, "The Ancient Gods of Israel." Please be sure to listen to the first 3 episodes if you haven't already as it builds the case for our study. But in this episode, we study all the baals of Canaan, Phoenicia, Israel, and beyond. What, or perhaps, who were these baals and their divine manifestations? And why did the Biblical sources comdemn them after 1000 years of coexistence? This is what we will discuss in this show. Also, please hang on until the very end after the credits. I will recite a poem by listener Jacob Perry entitled, "The Splitting of The Chrysalis," Based on books by Mark Smith and Bernard Lamborelle on Amazon For more information, please contact me at skeptical_ghost_heathen@yahoo.com

#51 The Queen of Heaven
The only difference between the name of the goddess, Asherah אשרה and Abraham's wife, Sarah שרה is the letter aleph א that assumes a leading position in the name of the goddess. In this episode, we will begin to take a closer look at the goddess Asherah before she was condemned to an idol. This series is based upon the following books: Mark Smith's "The early history of God and other Canaanite deities' Bernard Lamborelle's "The Covenant", "To be done with Sodom" and the soon to be released, "An everlasting Quid Pro Quo"

#50 Cult of the Ancestors
This is part 2 of The Ancient Gods of Israel mini series, where we analyze ancient texts to discover what the early people of Canaan and the nomadic people who occupied the hilly country adjacent to the neighboring Canaanites. What did they worship, who did they worship and why? In this episode we take a close look at the Ba'al and El deities within the Bible narrative itself, steles, and ancient inscriptions in Pagan cities that were occupied by the early Israelites who were worshipping an El Berith (God of the covenant) as well as a Baal Berith (Lord of the covenant in human form). What does this tell you as the language is the same for Yahweh in Israelite texts? Sources: Mark Smith's "Early history of God" Bernard Lamborelle's "An everlasting quid pro quo"
