Hey everyone! We have a great episode for you this week. We are continuing our exploration about if Jesus fulfilled messianic prophesies. Today's topic is Isaiah 53. Jewish rabbis today claim the this is about the people of Israel as a collective, but that is a pretty new thought. We dissect why this is talking about an individual person and how Jesus fulfilled these prophesies.

Hey everyone! In this week's episode we are talking about why Judaism does not accept Jesus as the jewish messiah and what prophesies Jesus did not fulfill. Is it a problem that he didn't bring world peace?

We learn about how religious Judaism has the image of two messiahs, while Christianity believes there is one messiah coming twice. Enjoy the episode

In this week's episode we are talking about the fate of the apostles. Were they martyred? How do we know? Does it actually matter if we know?

I got hung up a lot of times on if and how we know that the apostles were martyred, because sometimes there are conflicting reports. In this episode we talk about the fact that even them knowing that martyrdom was a possibility tells us a lot about their sincere belief in the resurrection. Enjoy the episode
