Five-Minute Debate205. Can Simulation Theory Be Compatible with the Christian Worldview?Could our entire universe be a simulation? Philosophers, scientists, and theologians are increasingly wrestling with this question—and Christians have their own unique stake in the debate. In this episode, host Robert Smith moderates a lively exchange between Dr. Thomas Green, a professor of philosophical theology, who argues that simulation theory can be reconciled with a Christian worldview, and Dr. Rachel Cohen, a historian of early Christianity, who contends that it undermines the biblical doctrine of creation. Along the way, the debate draws on the insights of real-world scholars like Michael Heiser, who emphasizes the unseen spiritual realm, and N...

Does this reinterpretation help us recover Paul’s Jewish context, or does it blur the gospel message of justification by faith alone? In this episode of Five-Minute Debate, Dr. Rachel Carter—a New Testament theologian—argues that the New Perspective is historically faithful, while Dr. John Mitchell—a Reformation studies scholar—defends the traditional Protestant interpretation. We’ll also draw on the scholarship of N.T. Wright, E.P. Sanders, and Michael Heiser to frame this discussion in both ancient context and modern theol

Bible - Is the Bible Anti-Woman? — Part 2: Law, Sin, and RestorationIs the Bible fundamentally anti-woman—or does it point toward a deeper story of justice and redemption? In this extended episode of Five-Minute Debate, Dr. Rachel Collins (Old Testament Ethics, Oxford) and Dr. Thomas Levin (Biblical Theology, Wheaton) return to discuss how biblical laws and narratives function within patriarchal societies. Drawing on the work of Michael Heiser, John Walton, Sandra Richter, and Carol Meyers, they argue that even troubling texts may contain seeds of justice and covenantal restraint—and ultimately anticipate restoration in Christ.

The Truth About the Nephilim’s SizeIn this episode of Five-Minute Debate, we dive into one of the Bible's most intriguing mysteries: the height of the Nephilim, the so-called "giants" of Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33. Were they towering, superhuman beings as some traditions suggest, or is their "giant" status symbolic of power and corruption? Biblical scholars Dr. Marcus Calloway and Dr. Rachel Adar go head-to-head, drawing on insights from experts like John Walton, Michael Heiser, Bruce Waltke, and Kenneth Kitchen. Were the Nephilim literal skyscrapers or just larger-than-life in reputation? Tune in for a fascinating debate about these ancient figures!

The first part of this story is about the friendship of David and Jonathan, born out of a shared purpose to be Yahweh’s representative leaders. They are one in spirit and Jonathan loved David as he loved himself. Although Jonathan is the son of King Saul and would be the next to inherit the throne, instead, Jonathan gives his gear to David, signifying his surrender of power and identification of David as God’s intended king. We also see King Saul’s war within himself and wrestle with the reflection of what tha...
