4M ago30:00

30:00

Well, there's lots of endtimes predictions being caste about. I better get in on the game and keep relevant at least. This episode discusses Solar Eclipses and Blood Moons and Hordes of locusts (or Cicadas?) and essential Hollywood movies on this topic. Or, will life just go on as usual? Let's see what the band R.E.M. has to say on this topic. Enjo…

Christmas Outlaw edition: Joseph the Carpenter 46:49

8M ago46:49

46:49

Here's every verse in the Bible that tells us about the Outlaw Joseph - enough to make him the official Christmas Outlaw. It was basically the Wild West of the middle east circa A.D. 01.. Just a Cowboy protecting his wife and son from surrounding evil. Enjoy! and Merry Christmas.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

The War In Heaven: Really! 37:46

9M ago37:46

37:46

Few discuss it - but there was indeed a war in heaven. The Book of Revelation has a chapter about it... well, it mentions it briefly in chapter 12 anyway. So let's see what the rest of the bible has to say about this cosmic battlefied and the characters involved. What does this mean for us humans?By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

Oh No! It's a Rapture Podcast 45:19

11M ago45:19

45:19

Well, I had to do a rapture podcast eventually. It's a rather enjoyable subject with more than a few Bible verses to keep it deeply theological. And of course I'll spill in some Pop-culture references and prophecies to boot. Hang on - the END might be near.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

The Sabbath Commandment: Church on Saturday or God will kill you? 51:54

1y ago51:54

51:54

What should we do with that old (VERY OLD) commandment to rest/worship? on the Sabbath? Did the church somehow get confused over the centuries and make an error in switching worship from Saturday to Sunday? Or worse - will God still kill us for this (like he did to "stick collecting guy")? I did some research. A LOT of research. Enjoy.…

Why An Outlaw Would Become A Christian. 35:52

1y ago35:52

35:52

So why would an outlaw become a Christian? Because even outlaws have a code and need something to make sense of their reality. A lawless existence would be meaningless and its universe wouldn't be worth living in. The Bible has a lot to say about this - and the Biblical God gave us the 10 commandments to deal with specifically this issue. Then the …

John's 2nd letter: to a special lady mistress? 33:04

1y ago33:04

33:04

Time to study John's 2nd letter to the Elect lady, or is that the church? Or perhaps a mistress? or just some special lady and her tots. We'll study this short letter and see what we can learn and figure out. God certainly thought it was special enough to be preserved through the ages. Enjoy.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

Blotted out of God's Book of Life? 39:05

1+ y ago39:05

39:05

The Book of life is mentioned more than a few times throughout the Old and New Testament. Can you be blotted out of it - or inked into it? Well, God has a few things to hint at about this strange collection and its contents. Let's explore every single passage that the Bible mentions about it - and see if it's as big and scary as the Harry Potter "M…

It's 2023: time to find a new church 36:24

1+ y ago36:24

36:24

It's 2023, time to achieve some new goals - like switching from Itunes to Amazon Music (small victories). But i'm also looking for a new church for my family, and the Apostle John made a list of church challenges in his Book of Revelation. So let's use it to see what I should look for while church shopping. Hint: Lukewarm churches are a bad idea.…

Mark's Gospel: The Buck-naked Truth 27:14

1+ y ago27:14

27:14

Have you heard of that peculiar moment in the Gospel of Mark (during Jesus' arrest in the garden of Gethsemane) where a young man escapes from the angry mob and leaves all his clothes behind? Why is it in the bible? What can we possibly learn from this? Is this information useful? I say yes. Extremely useful - and fun. Enjoy!…

No Logical Reason to be a Doubting Thomas 33:03

1+ y ago33:03

33:03

Thomas "The Disciple" spent three years with Jesus, and he saw it all. There was no reason for him to doubt anything about Jesus - and yet he did. We haven't spent three years with Jesus - and yet we are called "blessed" for believing without seeing. God has given us faith and logic to overcome doubt. There's no reason to believe anything else.…

James the Supplanter: "Even Demons Believe and Shudder." 41:48

2y ago41:48

41:48

Let's fully learn about the book/letter of James. It's all about having faith and acting on it. Unlike the demons, we are to tame that tongue and not act worldly. We've got better things to do - instructions sent directly from God. Here's some new testament wisdom for living like a 21st century Christian or Jew.…

Outlaw Library: The Lost Book of Mormon review 33:30

2y ago33:30

33:30

Let's look back at my book review of Avi Steinberg's The Lost Book Of Mormon. It’s a hilarious travelogue that deserves to be discussed - because anytime an author writes a religious/comedy offering, it's worthy of a Bible Outlaw critique. From this we can learn about Avi's time spent tracing the pilgrimage of historical Mormon characters from the …

Mars Hill Meltdown: A Tale of Woe 38:15

2y ago38:15

38:15

A few years ago, the Mars Hill Church in Seattle Washington imploded from within. The Christian world quickly blamed the pastor for being a bully. That was a huge part of it, but the entire church should have held him accountable for his actions - before it was too late. Let's have a quick look at what happened, and see if we can learn anything for…

What's Wrong With Christianity? Nothing! 31:34

2y ago31:34

31:34

Every day I come across internet media that informs me of what specifically is wrong with my Christianity. But what's really wrong is that very few seem capable of properly defining this "Christianity" that they're evaluating. So let's see what exactly IT IS - and explore if it's really broken or faulty in any way. And we'll compare it to fast cars…

Bible says "Don't sacrifice your babies to Molech, or Chemosh, or Justin Trudeau" 34:16

2y ago34:16

34:16

The world has gone insane over the right to murder infants in the womb. Does the Bible have much to say on this issue? Hell yes! And so does the toughest female missionary who ever lived: Amy Carmichael.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

Joel and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. 42:07

2y ago42:07

42:07

So what do we instantly recall about the minor prophet Joel and his short "3 chapter" book? Be honest... almost nothing. Some might know that the Apostle Peter quoted him and got charismatics all excited for 2,000 years. But Joel's point is really that a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, is about to come for the people God doesn't tolerate…

Honorary Outlaw: Anne Wilson's "My Jesus" Gospel Album review 38:46

2y ago38:46

38:46

Once every few years a rather great Gospel album actually gets made. Do not miss this one - it really is that good. So here's my Bible Outlaw appreciation and review of Anne Wilson's MY JESUS. Probably won't be another one till Jesus comes back (or Anne hires me to play guitar and we make a live album at the Royal Albert Hall... let's not get ahead…

The Heaven's Gate edition: UFO Cult Silliness. 37:20

2y ago37:20

37:20

Remember back in March of 1997, when 39 hardcore religious/Star Trek fans did their darnedest to catch up with a spaceship travelling on the tail of the Hale-Bopp comet by killing themselves to get to the celestial heavenly kingdom? Well, incase you missed it - here's everything you need to know and even how the Bible was lightly involved in this m…

Outlaw Library: Jim and Casper Go to Church. Book review 40:49

2+ y ago40:49

40:49

Here's another religious book that I reviewed, "Jim and Casper Go to Church". A somewhat liberal-progressive church expert drags an atheist to a few famous churches and we get to read about it. Fun stuff eh? So what did they learn --- and what do I think of their conclusions? Well, you can probably guess already. Enjoy!…

The Gospel according to Alice Cooper 37:16

2+ y ago37:16

37:16

Someone wrote a book called, "the Gospel according to the Beatles". Well, pretty much zero biblical christianity was buried in that rubbish - but Alice Cooper (the villain of Rock and Roll) actually has more biblical gospel than most realize. Since i've been a huge fan of Alice for almost 40 years, let's spend an episode discussing any value or mer…

2 Timothy: Paul's last letter EVER! - it's good for rebuking Mormons. 36:42

2+ y ago36:42

36:42

Let's fully read Paul's last written letter - written in AD 67. Is there enough there to keep Christians from joining cults and following false prophets? It appears so. It's personal and brutally theological all at the same time. Good-bye Paul - God speed, good soldier. I'll see you in heaven.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

Russia and Ukraine - where's God in all this? 31:01

2+ y ago31:01

31:01

Does God not know all the crazy human insanities happening on the planet? Isn't He paying attention? Oh yeah! He gave us a 1,000 page book all about it - nothing new under the sun. Maybe we should turn to it before, during, and after "we humans" make a colossal mess of everything. Nah. We'll just assume we're the good guys and everyone else is bad.…

Outlaw Truckers and a Farewell to Kings 38:11

From Adam & Eve to King Jesus to the Anti-christ ruling from Babylon. What are these power-mad mona…

The Dear Lord baby Jesus: Christmas edition 30:27

2+ y ago30:27

30:27

So what is this Christmas holiday really about? Well, it's the Dear Lord baby Jesus bit of the Bible. So let's read the Christmas story - and once again be thankful for all the Outlaws that made the story happen, you know: like the Wise Men and Shepherds, and Joseph and Mary, getting the job done. God used these amazing people for His own glory. Wh…

Is the Bible as clear as mud? 34:50

2+ y ago34:50

34:50

You've probably heard many people say that the Bible is confusing, or even "as clear as mud". But is it? Can so many millions of people be confused by words on a page? Is this the reason we have 30,000 Christian denominations and differing comprehensions of the Bible and God's commands? No! the problem - as usual - is us. Let's explore it.…

Deconstructing the Genetically Modified Atheist's christianity 47:57

2+ y ago47:57

47:57

Let's have a look at what passes for failed christianity in the eyes of the youtube hero "the genetically modified atheist". He's certainly has a huge success, and impact, with his almost 700,000 views per "atheist" video - but is he actually a skeptic? Does his atheist claims have merit? Is his new atheist community really any different from the o…

Heaven: Where's Enoch exactly? 44:09

3y ago44:09

44:09

Everyone seems to have an opinion on heaven. But we don't care for opinions - what's the Bible say specifically. That is what matters. I rounded up every verse in the Bible that deals with heaven and I picked the most essential ones to tie it all together. Now let's learn about your future home and eternity - and how many pets you can bring.…

Here's a book review I did of an amusing atheist book: Why There Is No God: Simple Responses to 20 Common Arguments for the Existence of God by Armin Navabi NO harm in reading this stuff and seeing what profound questions they might ask --- or lazy attacks they thrust forth. But it's a fine reason to brush up on my apologetics and theological skill…

The Bible and Music: What's a sackbut? 44:13

3y ago44:13

44:13

There's over a 100 verses in the Bible about music and instruments. And yet the Church seems to have gotten music wrong for 2000 years. Let's find out why and how. Did Jesus mess with music? Did Paul? Maybe Daniel or Moses? Who made the 1st instrument and will instruments be used in heaven? And worst of all - did scholars and translators confuse in…

Outlaw Special: Samson - God's biblical Chuck Norris 1:06:11

3y ago1:06:11

1:06:11

As much as we appreciate Chuck Norris for all the bad guys he's stopped - God was already sending brainless muscle-heads to protect His people over 3,000 years ago. And yes, they had the same problem with sexy women and weapons that our modern defender Chuck has. But there's more to the story than that - even a guest appearance by Jesus...possibly.…

Bible Contradictions 4: Jesus prays for unity and fails? 36:18

3y ago36:18

36:18

Those silly atheists are at it again: they found a Bible verse that just might have Jesus begging and demanding unity amongst his church goers --- but since it doesn't appear to happen elsewhere in scripture, is this a contradiction? Let's rip into it and find out. Don't worry - it ends well.By Rod "Goldielocks" Horncastle

Philemon deals with the Equalizer 33:40

3y ago33:40

33:40

The Apostle Paul's small letter to his buddy Philemon deals with some major issues like Christian responsibility and even slavery - and so does my favourite movie of all time "The Equalizer". YES! This book actually shut down slavery as the world knows it --- it's just that very few people paid attention. But it's never too late to "do the right th…

The Thief on the Cross - Can't Wait To Meet Him 33:48

3y ago33:48

33:48

One of my favourite Bible characters has always been the thief on the cross immediately beside Jesus (the good thief, not the other guy...). Here's a podcast that might have you thinking a bit deeper about his moment of eternal street cred. Yep! For all of eternity he will be able to claim a special place that no other can boast of: being on the ph…

Bible's Flaming Sword: Not for sale. 31:44

3y ago31:44

31:44

Many people quickly read past the mention of a flaming sword obscuring the path to the tree of life and the garden of Eden. But it may be more cool than we know. It tells us a fair bit about God and theology and angels and demons -- yes, just when you thought the Bible was possibly getting boring... along comes the angel Uriel and his pitiless sabe…

The Bible: It's a kind of magic 32:22

Have you met people who attempt to read the Bible but just can't make sense of it? Or worse - they spend their life being confused by stories you learned in sunday school as a child? Yep, God's book is rather magical and only God's children can have it speak to them. But nobody knows until they open its pages and read... It's not Harry Potter's sor…

So what do you do when those kind, young mormon boys or girls come to your front door? Quickly show them all the spiritual options they're failing to mention, and then, demand they explain why theirs is the Best or Truest of all. What's this got to do with Dracula and Van Helsing you ask? Well, nasty monster-fighters and demonic villains have to de…

Dismembered Bible Book: Bel and the Dragon 34:37

3+ y ago34:37

34:37

There's a lost chapter of the Old Testament book of Daniel called Bel and the Dragon. Let's find out what's in it and why it didn't make the cut into sacred scripture. Were there too many dragons already - or possibly because there was a dragon at all? Or maybe the book of Daniel was simply too full from all the previous mayhem? But in a half an ho…

Judas: Ordained or Damned? Part 1. 30:49

Here it is, everything you ever wanted to know about Judas - but was afraid to ask. Most people assumed he was the villain and betrayer of all truth ---- others attempt to state that he was a misunderstood helper of gnostic secrets. The Bible is certainly clear, and my job is too wrap it all up for you with some pop culture references thrown in. En…

Here's some of my experiences and thoughts about how to choose a local church to attend. Everything from the correct religion to worship music and God's will. - or maybe just stay home and read your Bible (actually, that's not a Biblical longterm option. I still do it on occasion though). Hmmm? I forgot to discuss church while in prison. Choices ma…

Can we believe everything we hear and learn in Christmas carols? Hopefully - but not fully. Sorry, Frosty and Rudolph may not be all that history has led us to believe... but hopefully the three Kings that appear in the nativity scene are factually substantiated? What?! Let's see what exactly the Bible has to say about these mysterious travelers wi…
