    What Was the Star of Bethlehem, a Miraculous Object, or a Natural Phenomenon?
    Dec 19 2025
    The planetariums have it wrong - the Star of Bethlehem could not be a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. It also could not have been a supernova or other natural star. Host Martin Tanner explains why the Bethlehem Star could only have been either a supernatural event or the 5 BC comet. You will also learn details about who the "Magi" were, where they came from, and why they came to see Jesus.

    A Response to Evangelical Critics: You are Violating Galatians 1:8-9, Not Us.
    Dec 7 2025
    Galatians 1:8-9 condemns those who preach another, different Gospel from that preached by Paul and other New Testament writers. Host Martin Tanner demonstrates why the critics, not the LDS Church, have changed New Testament teachings on God, Jesus, salvation, scripture, and other doctrines. Evangelicals, not Latter-day Saints, are preaching another, different Gospel in violation of Galatians 1:8-9.
