LBM Podcast 0042 – False prophecies of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society
In this episode I have a friend and brother in Christ, Voytek, join in as a guest to discuss some of the false prophecies of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Voytec is an experienced evangelist to Jehovah’s Witnesses and has a wealth of knowledge and documentation on the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. Voytek covers their false prophecies of 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975 from their own publications and books. Our hope and prayer is that JW’s will come to a true saving faith in the Jesus Christ of the Bible.

LBM Podcast 0041 – The unprecedented argument against Calvinism and C14 and Young Earth Creationism
In this episode Jason addresses the unprecedented argument against Calvinism by Eric Lounsbery. The text that Eric uses is Luke 8:9-12. Eric had challenged Dr. James White with what he calls his unprecedented and irrefutable argument against Calvinism. Jason then goes into the radiocarbon dating and how it affirms Biblical Creation when the presuppositions of Biblical Creation are applied instead of naturalistic presuppositions. Both radiocarbon dating and C14 equilibrium are examined.

LBM Podcast 0040 – Blotted out of the Book of Life and Young Earth Creation and the Bible
In this episode Jason goes into a question from a listener “If “once saved, always saved”, then could you explain the blotting-out of names from God’s “book of life”?” Jason discusses the Lamb’s Book of Life and what it means to be blotted out. After that the discussion goes into Young Earth Creationism and the Biblical foundations for YEC. A future episode will cover the scientific evidence that confirms what Scripture says about Creation and the age of the earth.

LBM Podcast 0036 – Anabaptism examined – 4
This is the fourth and final episode where we examine the history and current day beliefs of the group called the Anabaptists. Kevin Wagler a former member of the Anabaptist group known as the Amish joins again as a guest on the show to discuss the topic. Jason the host of the show is also a former conservative Mennonite. In this episode Jason and Kevin discuss a series of 16 questions to ask Anabaptists. They end the show with a discussion on a book by Dietrich Philips, an early Anabaptist, a contemporary and colleague of Menno Simons. They look at what he wrote pertaining to the Celestial Flesh Heresy and examine it in the light of Scripture.
16 Questions for Anabaptists:
- What is your view on the Celestial Flesh doctrine of Menno Simons and the other early Anabaptists?
- Is war and self-defense evil and if so did God command unrighteousness in the Old Testament?
- What is your view on original sin?
- Does original sin have any impact on the will of man?
- When an individual places their faith and trust in Christ and repents of their sins are all their sins expiated (past and future) or are only their past sins forgiven?
- What is justification?
- Does justification result in a temporary peace (dependant on human actions) or does it result in a permanent peace with God (Rom 5:1)?
- What is sanctification?
- Does justification increase before God based upon the performance/actions of the individual?
- Does a true born again (regenerate) believer have (possess) eternal/everlasting life or is eternal life dependant on their actions?
- If a true born again (regenerate) believer can lose eternal life what must he do to lose eternal life?
- What is your view on regeneration (new birth)?
- What impact does the new birth (regeneration) have on an individual? How is he changed?
- What does the Bible mean by we are dead in sin (Eph 2:1) and a slave to sin (Jn 8:34)?
- What does the atonement of Jesus Christ accomplish?
- Does God simply observe human history or does he determine it?
