NOTR - Pence, Islam & The Salt of the Earth - 5.2.17

Today's Show: PENCE, ISLAM & THE SALT OF THE EARTH - 5.2.2017

Chris discusses a new story about Vice President Mike Pence who traveled to Indonesia (the country with the largest Muslim population in the world).  While there, Pence said that Indonesia's tradition of "moderate Islam" was "an inspiration to the world."   But does such a statement stand against careful scrutiny?  Jihad Watch reports on many cases of Islamic extremism in the country, where Christians are often persecuted and people are harassed, stabbed, beaten and killed for violating Sharia law.  Why would Pence (on behalf of the Trump administration) make such a statement?   Also discussed is Matthew chapter five and the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus declares that His followers are to be the "salt of the earth," and warns that if the salt loses its savor, it is cast aside and "trodden under foot of men."  What could this mean for America and the entire Western world?

NOTR - Globalism & The Anti-Christian Agenda - 4.28.17

Today's Show: GLOBALISM & THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN AGENDA

Chris discusses an article from Frontline Fellowship describing the history of the Church in Western Europe from the time of the Great Reformation into the modern era.  Incredibly, at the beginning of the twentieth century the Protestant missionaries believed they might very well complete the Great Commission in their generation.  Yet by the end of that century, the Christian world had been turned upside down by Communism, Socialism and secular humanism.   Also discussed are comments from some of our listeners with responses to a question about the Jesuit Reductions of Paraguay, along with a concern over a theory about the Codex Vaticanus.

NOTR - Update on Codex Sinaiticus Debate - 4.27.17

Today's Show: UPDATE ON CODEX SINAITICUS DEBATE

Chris discusses some of the new information surrounding the Codex Sinaiticus with a growing number of researchers and authors publishing important details.  In particular, a new book by Dr. David Sorenson covers elements of the last 12 verses of Mark that are often called into question because they are not found in the "most ancient and reliable manuscripts, the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus."  Yet critical details about the paleographical analysis of those texts is typically omitted from the average study Bible, preventing Christians from drawing a more educated conclusion.  A powerful quote has surfaced from 19th century scholar, Dr. James Harris that sheds light on the issue.

NOTR - Pope, Islamic Criticism & The Armenian Genocide - 4.24.17

Today's Show: POPE, ISLAMIC CRITICISM & THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

Chris discusses a series of news topics, from recent comments made by Pope Francis who referred to refugee camps as "concentration camps," to the discovery of new information that has surfaced about the Armenian Genocide of 1915, from a leading Turkish-American scholar on the subject.  Also discussed is a recent headline that denies the crucifixion of Christ, based on an allegedly "ancient manuscript" called The Gospel of Barnabas that was discovered in the year 2000.  Having reportedly come from Turkey, the so-called gospel reports that Jesus did not actually die on the cross, but rather it was Judas -- a common claim among Islamic scholars.  But could the manuscript have been the work of ancient Gnostic heretics?

NOTR - The Jesuits & Franklin Graham - 4.19.17

Today's Show: THE JESUITS & FRANKLIN GRAHAM

Chris discusses an article posted by the Jesuit's America Magazine in which they interviewed Franklin Graham about a new documentary produced by his organization.  While avoiding anything to do with the new film, the Jesuit writer went on about Graham's "anti-Muslim" and "anti-LGBT" comments.  Also discussed is the story of a Muslim who recently attended a World View Weekend conference, and was found out in his car video-taping himself making threatening comments while brandishing a series of firearms.  He has not yet been arrested.

NOTR - Resurrection Sunday - 4.17.17

Today's Show: RESURRECTION SUNDAY

Chris discusses some of the controversies surrounding the annual celebration of the Easter holiday, which is sometimes called "Resurrection Sunday."  The New Testament places an important emphasis on a believers' faith in the Resurrection of Christ, and the Apostle Paul argued it to be a critical component of salvation (Romans 10:9, 1 Corinthians 15:2,17).  Also discussed is some of the history behind the word "Easter" and whether or not it comes from a Pagan origin, along with recognition of the holiday itself.  Was Easter adopted in place of some pagan festival, or was the annual remembrance of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ observed by the early church?
