In this episode of The Universe Next Door, we continue our in-depth exploration of the Gospel of Mark, focusing on Jesus' divine claims in response to Bart Ehrman's assertion that Jesus never claims to be God in this book. Join us as we delve into chapters 9-16, highlighting how Jesus consistently presents himself as divine through prophecies, parables, and direct statements.

How do we define truth? Is there a difference between determining what truth is and how to know it? Are there any good reasons to believe that objective truth exists? Why does it seem as though our current culture is in a "truth crisis"? Nick Shalna interviews Matthew Mittelberg (Speaker and Apologist for Apologetics Inc) on what truth is and why it matters.

While the New Testament does not give an explicit date or any date at all for the birth of Jesus, does it offer clues and insights as to when His birthdate may have been? Is the Christmas holiday really based on pagan myths and legends such as Saturnalia? Is it possible that scholars have been misled by a mistake Josephus made regarding the timing of the reign of Herod? Sources: *The Steinmann article referenced is not in the Public domain so it can’t be posted. However, you can find it here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/25442624 The birthdate for Jesus presented originally came from R.L Martin's The Star that astonished the World, which can be read for free here: https://www.askelm.com/star/ Also check out the book Reversing Hermon by Michael Heiser for more detail on this date, plus the meaning of Jesus' birth associated with the flood. https://www.amazon.com/Reversing-Hermon-Watchers-Forgotten-Mission/dp/0998142638/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1TIJ9JFKOG8E7&keywords=reversing+hermon&qid=1672788709&sprefix=reversing+hermon%2Caps%2C153&sr=8-1 Sorry, I do not think I have the ability to upload the photo of the Rev 12 constellations on September 11, 3 BC to the podcast description. However, they can be found through google search.
