What are the strongest Old Testament prophecies that point to Jesus as the Messiah? My guest is Jeff Morgan, a former secular Jew who does street evangelism with Jewish people in Israel. He hears the objections every day, in Hebrew, from people who grew up reading these texts. Jeff and I walk through 10 prophecies and address the common Jewish objections to each passage and shows where rabbinic sources themselves (Rashi, the Talmud, Targum Jonathan) connect these texts to a messianic figure.

10 Prophecies That Convinced a Jewish Man Jesus Is the Messiah

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/116830ef-9887-4179-908f-b46b01258ffe/transcript

Children who have near-death experiences make for unusually strong evidence and almost nobody has studied them. In this conversation, near-death experience researcher Dr. Steve Miller returns to walk through what we actually know about children and NDEs. We get into the case from Dr. Melvin Morse's peer-reviewed work (the drowned girl who came back describing exactly what her family was wearing and doing at home), the documented patterns from Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's cross-cultural research, the children Dr. Diane Komp watched die at Yale that turned her from atheism to faith, and a few accounts from Steve's own circle of people he knows and trusts.

What We Can Learn About the Afterlife from Children’s Near Death Experiences

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/222b2c56-c6d4-4342-afa9-b479011fcf97/transcript

Many Christians dismiss the evidence from near-death experiences on biblical or theological grounds by quoting Hebrews 9:27, citing soul sleep, worrying about new age associations, or treating any extra-biblical vision as automatically suspect. But are those objections actually warranted by Scripture? Dr. Steve Miller returns to walk through twelve of the most common biblical and theological objections Christians raise against NDEs.

00:00 Intro 01:10 How should Christians approach NDE and deathbed accounts? 10:13 The Billy Graham and Dr. Randy Steer accounts 17:46 Objection #1 — Some NDEs report false doctrines 21:40 Objection #2 — NDEs lead people to new age teachings 28:23 Objection #3 — Hebrews teaches we die only once 34:15 Objection #4 — Unbelievers should experience judgment, not love 39:35 Objection #5 — NDEs are more consistent with new age than Christianity 45:00 Objection #6 — Visions are no longer needed after the New Testament 47:47 Objection #7 — Experiencers see their own gods 49:51 Objection #8 — The Bible teaches soul sleep 59:42 Objection #9 — Faith should come only from Scripture 57:00 Objection #10 — No one can go to heaven before death 59:36 Objection #11 — Experiencers may be demonically deceived 1:01:01 Objection #12 — There's no biblical precedent for NDEs 1:02:04 Common theological assumptions worth re-examining

Top 12 Biblical Objections to Near-Death Experiences ANSWERED (Steve Miller)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/757b2d1d-8f10-4f9d-8c41-b47301217f22/transcript

In this conversation, Carl Trueman joins me and Scott Rae for one of the most wide-ranging episodes we've recorded. We get into CS Lewis, Nietzsche's madman, the anthropological question at the heart of every cultural debate, the sexual revolution, pornography, contraception (where Trueman calls himself "a work in progress"), IVF, surrogacy, end-of-life decisions, and how Christians sometimes mirror the secular world's trivialization of death.
