The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectJoe Rogan Meets Wes Huff: Faith, Media, and the Miracle Test: Part 1Ben and Jon wade into the spicy aftermath of Wes Huff’s conversation with Joe Rogan—because nothing says “good time” like theology and controversy. They dig into the messiness of apologetics, the limits of personal testimony, and ask the eternal question: how do we really confirm a miracle? Also on the table: is believing the Book of Mormon actually that much crazier than being a Christian? Plus, the rise of Rogan as a modern media juggernaut, a nerdy detour into the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a PSA about the dangers of confidently pontificating from a place of total ignoranc...2025-04-101h 21

Yes, apparently, there’s only one Bible now that’s deemed holy enough: the Trump Bible. Because if there’s one thing Oklahoma politicians want you to believe, it’s that the Bible is just a little better with a “MAGA” twist.

YouTuber, known as Testify, throws some heavy accusations Ehrman’s way, claiming he’s a “radical” who is finding Gospel contradictions where there are none. According to Testify, Ehrman is bent on tearing down Christianity—all while hiding behind a “consensus.” Listen as they break down Testify’s bold claims to see who’s really playing fast and loose with the facts, and whether the truth is getting lost in the crossfire.

And then there’s the whole issue of Peter’s apparent plagiarism of Jude. Did he run out of original ideas, or is this just celestial copy-pasting?

As it turns out their claims of faith healings are false and “speaking in tongues” turns out to be just babbling non-sense. However, the Bible seems to say Christians should expect to possess these powers.
John and Ben breakdown the spiritual gifts controversy and see why many church denominations say the spiritual gifts era ended with the New Testament, even though the Bible never actually says that.
2023-02-141h 09The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectStill Waiting for Jesus PART 2In the Bible, Jesus predicts his return will come during the lifetime of those who were with him. This belief was so entrenched among early Christian’s that the eminent return of Christ was the driving theme of the letters of Paul. As the original followers of Jesus died off however, the beliefs in the second coming of Christ had to evolve. We take a deep dive into this to examine one of the most glaring problems for Christianity, and how some try to deal with the difficulty.

In the Bible Jesus says you MUST hate your family. In fact the entire New Testament has a radical anti-family message.
Well apparently evangelicals didn’t like what we had to say, but we were literally just quoting Jesus! We respond to comments from angry Christians.
Also on the show:
In another edition of Bible vs. Bible, where does Jesus go directly after his baptism? It depends which Gospel you read.

Today on the show, Katie, John and Ben reveal just how the Bible destroys that idea. As it turns out, some of the strongest rebukes in the entire Bible are aimed at the rich and those who don’t aid the poor.
Why do a lot of Christian's ignore this overwhelmingly clear Biblical message? We take a look at how many wealthy church leaders cherry pick their way out of adhering to their own holy book.
...2023-01-101h 07The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible on Women PART 2Many kids grow up being taught that a “rapture” is coming any day to carry away God’s people and leave everyone else behind to suffer. Turns out this causes serious mental trauma that can take a lifetime to heal. We’ll discuss.
And then part two of our discussion about women in the Bible:
Women Deacons and Apostles in the Bible? Yes it’s true! But somehow women are supposed to shut up and only learn from their husbands at home? Katie, John and Ben take a look at how the Bible presents conflicting messages a...2023-01-031h 02The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectChristmas Special - Part 2Did the Old Testament predict the virgin birth of Jesus? No! But the author of Matthew’s gospel thinks so. “Matthew’s” Christmas story aims to fulfill several Old Testament prophecies. On part two of our Christmas extravaganza, John, Katie and Ben look at each of these supposed fulfilled prophecies and try to break down what is really going on.
Wait, was Jesus’ real father a Roman soldier? In a new segment of Bible After Dark we discover an ancient source that claims Jesus is the result of a scandalous extramarital relationship. Could this rumor have been motivation...2022-12-271h 07The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectChristmas Special - Part 1On our first Christmas extravaganza episode we talk about how Jesus was born in a manger, no wait, it was in a house. It turns out this is just one of many problems in the Bible’s two Christmas stories. John, Katie, and Ben breakdown the Christmas accounts and try to figure out why each biblical author tells such a different story. Then we show why conservative Christian attempts to harmonize them simply don’t work.
And in a new segment of Bible vs. Bible we dive into the genealogies of Jesus to discover one of the most...2022-12-2059 minThe Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible on Women PART 1Do American Christians understand what the Bible teaches or what their own church doctrines say? New polling data may surprise you.
Women Deacons and Apostles in the Bible? Yes it’s true! But somehow women are supposed to shut up and only learn from their husbands at home? Katie, John and Ben take a look at how the Bible presents conflicting messages about women and their role in the church.
Did later redactors change Paul’s original pro-women message with a misogynist message that has kept women suppressed throughout church history? We’ll break it down.2022-12-131h 10The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectGod Knows All. Except for all that Stuff he Doesn’t Know.New polling suggests many right-wing people want America to be an explicitly Christian nation. What could go wrong? We’ll discuss.
Does God know everything? Yes he does, except for all those times in the Bible where he doesn’t know something. John and Ben break down the core church doctrine of God’s omniscience. We’ll dive into passages where he has to investigate something or test people to determine the truth.
Then we’ll look at passages in the New Testament where Jesus appears to not know things. We’ll discuss the implications of this and...2022-12-0654 min

Even beyond Stratechery’s enormous impact itself on business and tech over the years, Ben’s work inspired a whole generation of business content creators — this show very much included — and it was super special for us to give the Acquired treatment to one of our own heroes. We cover the full history of Ben pioneering the subscription internet media business model (indeed SubStack’s seed round pitch was “Stratechery-in-a-box”), and how + why he’s evolved the business since and...2022-12-061h 54The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible Blunders and a Church Divided PART 5The Bible explicitly mentions the Trinity in exactly one passage. And it turns out that verse is actually a 14th century forgery.
Today on the show, John and Ben look at the doctrine of the Trinity and how this impossibly confusing doctrine has confounded believers for centuries. Leading some to reject it for the Unitarian position.
Then, we look at verses which teach that everyone is going to heaven. Christian Universalists turn too many clear verses in the Bible that teach universal salvation, but that message is just too good for many Christians who point...2022-11-291h 02The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible Blunders and a Church Divided PART 4Do some Christian’s have special “gifts of the spirit” that give them supernatural powers? As it turns out the answer to this question is no. Their claims of faith healings are false and “speaking in tongues” turns out to be just babbling non-sense. The Bible seems to say Christians should expect to possess these powers. Today, John and Ben breakdown the spiritual gifts controversy and see why many church denominations say the spiritual gifts era ended with the New Testament, even though the Bible never actually says that.
Should Christians still follow the Sabbath day laws? If so, sho...2022-11-221h 01The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible Blunders and a Church Divided PART 3Wait, does the Bible say that God decides who will go to heaven or hell before they are even born? Are we responsible for our choices if they are already determined? Does the Bible say that people have free will to choose their own path? Actually the Bible teaches all of these contradictory doctrines. John & Ben take a deep dive into the Protestant church’s longstanding debate: Calvinism Vs. Arminianism.
Why do some Christians ritualistically eat their God? We’ll breakdown the various viewpoints on the Lord’s supper and reveal that vague passages in scripture have been c...2022-11-151h 10The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectBible Blunders and a Church Divided PART 2John and Ben continue the series by talking about the many types of errors in the Bible including errors of transmission, history, chronology as well as anachronisms.
But what do Christian’s do when the Bible is teaching two opposing doctrines? Was Jesus God? Did he even have a body? As it turns out the Bible isn’t as clear as some may think.
Then they take a look at how the Protestant Reformation was set in motion by a contradiction between Paul and James’ teaching on justification by faith.

What does the church mean by “Inerrancy” and is this even an ancient viewpoint?
What is the difference between Catholic and Protestant views?
What does this Doctrine mean in light of the total inaccessibility of the original “inspired” texts?
What do we do with other ancient texts that were once considered part of the Canon by different communities throughout Church history?
Can we test the falsifiability of inerrancy with textual criticism?
How long have scholars known about the numerous problems and contradi...2022-11-031h 05The Skeptics’ Bible ProjectTo Love Jesus, Hate your Family PART 1On this premiere episode John and Ben explain that Christian family values are not biblical. Unless you mean hating your family. They take a close look at how Jesus had a radical anti-family message. Then they find that the apostle Paul isn’t much different.
This notion could hardly be more different than the multimillion dollar industry that preaches family values today. What could be the reason for this radically anti-family thread that runs through the New Testament?
Also, John & Ben are puzzled by how forgetful Jesus seems to be on the first installment of Bi...2022-11-031h 01
