  • Mystery Mailbag #19 – Christian Politics, Bible Translations, and Grace Alone
    Mar 12 2026

    In this latest Bible Mysteries Mailbag, Scott opens the listener mailbag to answer thoughtful questions, respond to challenging comments, and share powerful testimony from the audience.

    Listeners write in with questions about spiritual warfare, the Christian’s relationship to politics, Bible translations, salvation by grace, difficult passages of Scripture, and more. One moving testimony reminds us how the Lord uses His Word to reach people in the darkest moments and draw them back to truth.

    Scott addresses each topic with Scripture and careful reasoning, encouraging believers to focus on the gospel, rightly divide the Word of truth, and keep their eyes fixed on Christ rather than the systems of this world.

    Questions covered include:

    • A powerful testimony from a veteran who found Christ after a difficult season

    • Should Christians be involved in politics?

    • Are cities connected to spiritual powers?

    • What does the Bible say about the shape of the earth?

    • Why are some verses missing from modern Bible translations?

    • Could Lucifer create his own humans?

    • How do remission and retention of sins work in John 20:23?

    • Are works required for salvation or is grace alone sufficient?

    • Where listeners can access show notes and resources

    • A listener request about the viral “six seven” slang trend

    As always, Scott answers directly from Scripture and encourages believers to grow in their understanding of God’s Word.

    Thank you to everyone who wrote in and shared questions and testimonies.

    Look up… our redemption draws near.

  • Torment or Annihilation?: Days of Noah meets Bible Mysteries (Part 2) - Episode 273
    Mar 9 2026
    In this second part of our duocast with Pete Ohlinger from the Days of Noah Podcast, we continue examining one of the most serious and debated doctrines in Scripture: the nature of hell. Does the Bible teach eternal conscious punishment, or do the lost eventually cease to exist through annihilation? Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, Scott and Pete dig deeper into key passages that describe the final judgment, including the Lake of Fire, the Second Death, and the Great White Throne judgment. Along the way, they discuss how Scripture interprets Scripture, why context matters when studying words like eternal and everlasting, and how Jesus Himself warned repeatedly about the reality of hell. The conversation also addresses common arguments used to support annihilationism and compares them with passages that describe unending punishment. Special attention is given to the words of Jesus in Mark 9, the account of the rich man and Lazarus, and the prophetic descriptions found in Revelation. This discussion is not about winning a theological debate—it is about faithfully examining what the Bible says and allowing Scripture to shape our understanding of God’s justice, mercy, and the eternal consequences of rejecting the gospel. Join us as we conclude this important conversation and consider what the Word of God reveals about eternity. In This Episode Why the doctrine of hell must be grounded in ScriptureThe meaning of “everlasting” and “eternal” in biblical contextJesus’ warnings about hell in Mark 9 and Luke 16The Lake of Fire and the Second Death in RevelationThe Great White Throne judgment and judgment according to worksWhether punishment in hell may vary in severityWhy rejecting Christ ultimately determines eternal destiny Scriptures Referenced Daniel 12:2Matthew 25:46Mark 9:43–48Luke 16:19–312 Thessalonians 1:8–9Revelation 14:9–11Revelation 19:20Revelation 20:11–15Revelation 21:8 Listen to Part 1 If you missed the beginning of this discussion, be sure to listen to Episode 272: Eternal Torment or Annihilation?

  • Acts 15 Explained: Did Jewish Believers Still Keep the Law?
    Mar 8 2026
    One of the most debated questions in the Book of Acts is whether the Jewish believers in Jerusalem continued living under the Law of Moses after believing in Jesus Christ. Acts chapter 15 records a major council in Jerusalem where the apostles and elders gathered to address a serious dispute: some believers were teaching that Gentiles could not be saved unless they were circumcised and kept the Law of Moses. Was this teaching correct? Were the early Jewish believers still obligated to keep the law? Or had something fundamentally changed with the death and resurrection of Christ? In this lesson, we examine the Scriptures that clarify the relationship between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. From the words of Peter, Paul, and the prophets, the Bible reveals that the Law of Moses was never meant to provide righteousness—it served as a schoolmaster pointing to Christ. When Jesus shed His blood, He fulfilled the law and established the New Covenant. Because of that finished work, believers today are not justified by the works of the law but by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Join us as we walk through the key passages that explain why Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Key Scriptures Acts 15:1–11Jeremiah 31:31–34Matthew 26:26–291 Corinthians 11:23–262 Corinthians 3:6–17Romans 10:1–4Hebrews 7:11–22Galatians 3:19–25Colossians 2:13–17 In This Lesson Why Acts 15 became a turning point in the early churchWhat Peter meant when he called the law a “yoke”Why the Old Covenant had to be replacedHow the New Covenant was established through Christ’s bloodWhy Jesus could not serve as High Priest under the Law of MosesWhat Paul meant when he said Christ is the end of the lawThe true purpose of the law in leading people to ChristWhy believers today live in the liberty of the New Covenant A Final Thought The Law of Moses revealed sin but could never remove it. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and brought in a better covenant—one based on grace, righteousness, and the power of the Spirit. If you have never trusted Christ as your Savior, the invitation still stands: “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” And for those who are in Christ, Scripture reminds us to stand fast in the liberty we have in Him and not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

  • Eternal Torment or Annihilation? (Part 1): Pete & Scott - Episode 272
    Mar 2 2026

    In this special Duocast episode, Scott is joined by Pete Ohlinger of The Days of Noah Podcast for a thoughtful and biblical discussion on one of the most debated doctrines in Christianity today: Is hell eternal?

    Recent public conversations among well-known Christian voices have revived interest in the doctrine of hell — specifically the debate between eternal conscious torment and annihilationism (conditional immortality). What does the Bible actually teach?

    In Part 1 of this two-part discussion, Scott and Pete:

    • Introduce their ministries and the purpose behind their podcasts
    • Discuss the growing trend of doctrinal shifts in modern Christianity
    • Define eternal conscious torment and annihilationism
    • Examine whether immortality is inherent or conditional
    • Explore whether unbelief is the core issue in eternal judgment
    • Address the justice of God and the nature of divine punishment
    • Consider the “age of accountability” question
    • Begin examining key passages in Revelation concerning the Lake of Fire
    This conversation is not about controversy for its own sake — it is about returning to Scripture and carefully handling what God has revealed.

    As always, we approach this topic with humility, recognizing that while this is not a salvation issue, it is a serious theological one that deserves careful study and discernment.

    Part 2 will continue this discussion and examine additional biblical texts and theological implications.

    About Our Guest Pete Ohlinger is co-host of The Days of Noah Podcast, where he and his guests examine biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, cultural deception, and the coming days described by Christ. We encourage our listeners to check out Pete’s work and follow his podcast.

  • What Does “Eye Hath Not Seen” Really Mean? (The Mystery Revealed)
    Mar 1 2026

    What did Paul mean when he wrote, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard…”?

    This verse is often quoted as a poetic reference to heaven—but in its full context, it speaks of something far more specific. Paul was not pointing to imagination. He was declaring a mystery once hidden in God and later revealed by the Spirit.

    In this lesson, we examine:

    • The full context of 1 Corinthians 2
    • Paul’s citation of Isaiah 64
    • The connection between loving God and waiting for Him
    • What it means to “love His appearing”
    • The mystery revealed to Paul in Ephesians 3
    • How Jew and Gentile are made fellow heirs in Christ
    • Why loving God includes loving your brother
    • What God has prepared for those who believe
    The phrase “Eye hath not seen” does not mean God left us uninformed. The hidden wisdom of God has now been revealed through the gospel. The mystery is that salvation is available to all—Jew and Gentile alike—through faith in Jesus Christ.

    To love God is not merely to say it. It is to believe on His Son, proclaim the truth, endure in faith, and look for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Christ is coming.
    The mystery has been made known.
    And what lies ahead surpasses anything the human heart has conceived.

    Key Scriptures
    • 1 Corinthians 2:6–10
    • Isaiah 64:1–5
    • Matthew 22:36–40
    • Titus 2:11–13
    • 2 Timothy 4:1–8
    • 1 John 4:7–21
    • 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10
    • Ephesians 3:1–11
    The Gospel If you have never trusted Christ, believe the gospel. Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day for your justification. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

    If you are saved, love His appearing. Let it be known.

  • The Book of Enoch Examined, Part 3: Canon, Intercession, and the Test of Scripture - Episode 271
    Feb 23 2026
    In this final installment of our series on the Book of Enoch, Scott Mitchell examines one of the most important questions of all: does the Book of Enoch meet the biblical standard for Scripture? This episode focuses on three critical issues—canon, intercession, and biblical authority—and compares the claims of the Book of Enoch directly against the Word of God. Scripture is clear that God has promised to preserve His Word, that Jesus Christ alone is our intercessor, and that angels are ministering spirits, not mediators. We also look at what the Bible actually teaches about access to the heavenly realm, why Christ’s sacrifice is central to that access, and why the Book of Enoch’s descriptions do not align with the timing and structure of redemption laid out in Scripture. The Book of Enoch may be historically interesting, but history is not inspiration. In this episode, Scott lays out why the early church was right to reject it from the canon—and why believers should test every extra-biblical writing against the preserved Word of God. In This Episode, You’ll Learn Why God’s promise to preserve His Word matters when testing any bookWhat Scripture teaches about who can intercede—and who cannotWhy angels are ministers, not mediatorsHow the Book of Enoch conflicts with the Bible’s teaching on judgment and intercessionThe difference between Ezekiel’s and John’s visions of God’s throne—and why timing mattersWhy access to the heavenly throne is only possible after Christ’s atoning workHow Hebrews explains when the way into the holiest was truly openedWhy the Book of Enoch fails the biblical test for inclusion in the canon Key Scriptures Discussed Psalm 12:6–7 – God’s promise to preserve His WordGenesis 6:5–8 – God’s judgment on the wickedness of manIsaiah 53:10–12 – The Messiah as intercessorHebrews 7:24–25 – Christ ever lives to make intercessionRomans 8:26–27 – The Spirit’s intercession for the saintsHebrews 1:4–14 – The nature and role of angelsPsalm 8:3–8 – Man’s place in God’s orderPsalm 115:16 – The heavens are the Lord’s, the earth given to menEzekiel 1:26–28 – Ezekiel’s vision of God’s throneRevelation 4:1–8 – John’s vision of the throne in heavenHebrews 9:6–12 – When the way into the holiest was made manifestJob 4:18 – God charging His angels with folly Summary The Bible does not leave the question of authority open-ended. God has preserved His Word, and He has revealed a clear structure for redemption, intercession, and divine order. When the Book of Enoch is tested against that standard, it falls short—especially in its teaching about angels, intercession, and access to the heavenly realm. This episode concludes the series by showing why the Book of Enoch should be treated as historical literature, not Scripture—and why believers must keep the canon grounded in what God has preserved and promised.

  • Is the Bible Really the Living Word of God?
    Feb 22 2026
    Many believers affirm that Jesus Christ is the Word of God—but what about the Bible itself? Is Scripture truly God’s Word, or is it only a human record of spiritual ideas? In this lesson, Scott Mitchell responds to a listener’s question and examines what the Bible says about its own authority. From the Gospel of John to the writings of Paul and Peter, Scripture consistently presents itself as God-breathed, trustworthy, and unbreakable. Key Scripture Passages Referenced John 1:1, 14 – The Word was God, and the Word was made fleshJohn 10:34–35 – “The scripture cannot be broken”2 Peter 1:16–21 – A “more sure word of prophecy” and the origin of Scripture2 Timothy 3:14–17 – All Scripture is given by inspiration of GodPsalm 12:6–7 – The Lord preserves His wordsLuke 24:44–46 – Christ opens the understanding of the Scriptures1 Corinthians 15:1–4 – The gospel according to the ScripturesActs 17:2–3, 10–11 – Paul reasons from the Scriptures; the Bereans search them dailyRomans 16:25–26 – The mystery made known by the Scriptures of the prophets2 Peter 3:15–16 – Peter recognizes Paul’s writings as Scripture1 John 4:1–3 – Test the spirits1 Corinthians 2:6–13 – Spiritual things are discerned by the Spirit and compared with ScripturePsalm 138:2 – God has magnified His Word above His name What This Study Covers The biblical meaning of “the Word” (Logos) and its connection to ScriptureWhy Jesus treated Scripture as the authoritative Word of GodHow the apostles used Scripture to prove the gospel messageWhy Scripture is called “God-breathed” and what that means for believersHow God preserves His Word and why it remains the standard of truthWhy every spiritual claim must be tested by Scripture The Bible does not present itself as a collection of religious opinions. It presents itself as the written, preserved Word of God. The same Scriptures that testify of Christ also reveal the gospel that saves: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. This message explains why Christians can confidently say the Bible is the Word of God—and why that truth remains central to faith, doctrine, and daily life.

  • The Only Begotten Son of God: The Biblical Meaning of Jesus Christ’s Humanity and Divinity
    Feb 15 2026
    What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God—and why does that phrase matter? In this message, Scott walks carefully through Scripture to show that “only begotten” is not a theological relic or a poetic expression, but a precise biblical truth that points directly to the incarnation, the cross, and the gospel itself. This study explains why Jesus had to be born of a woman, why He had to enter the human experience, and why only a true man could die for men—while still being fully God. By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we see how the Bible uses “only begotten” to affirm both Christ’s humanity and His divinity without confusion or compromise. You’ll also hear a clear biblical response to modern objections about the phrase “only begotten,” including the question of Isaac and Abraham, the meaning of promise, and why this language is essential to understanding salvation by grace through faith. In this episode, you’ll learn: What “only begotten Son of God” actually means in ScriptureWhy Jesus had to be born in the flesh in order to die for sinnersHow the Bible shows Christ to be fully God and fully manWhy Hebrews, Romans, Galatians, and John all point to the incarnationThe biblical meaning of “propitiation” and why it matters for salvationHow Isaac and the promise illustrate God’s plan in ChristWhy changing this phrase weakens the clarity of the gospelWhat it means to truly believe on the only begotten Son of God Key Scriptures: John 1:14, 18John 3:16–18Romans 1:3–4; 3:23–26Galatians 4:4–7; 3:26–29Hebrews 2:9–18; 4:14–15; 11:171 John 4:9–10 Main Takeaway: Jesus Christ did not merely appear as a man—He was born into the human experience so He could suffer, die, and become the perfect sacrifice for sin. The phrase “only begotten Son of God” protects this truth and keeps the gospel exactly where God put it: in a real Savior who really died and really rose again.
