Before I introduce my guest for the blog, I'd like to issue a challenge to each and every one of you. I consider this challenge hard for two reasons. The first being that this week's guest will speak for nearly 2 hours, so it'll be like watching a feature film, only informative and slightly boring to some. The second being that I feel this challenge is nearly impossible.
I challenge you all to sit through this video and maintain skeptical views about the validity of the Bible afterward. For 2 hours, think critically and objectively about what is being presented and release all religious bias that you may have.
If you can complete this challenge and afterward have reasonable arguments that this information is simply coincidence, who knows, there may just be prizes for you...This is Kingdom Talk, Bye Week Edition.
