Caleb explains a theological conflict within Protestantism that has led to some Christians supporting Israel in their conflict and some opposing them. In a new Breaking the Internet, a meme goes around equating Israel citing a historic claim to the land like ancient Rome claiming modern England as its land today. In the Daily Dose of Stupid, TikTokers discover Osama Bin Laden's letter to America and can't help but praise and admire it.

In this final section of the Hebrew epistle, the author implores his Jewish readers to consider the facts he has laid before them and, in light of the evidence he has presented, stay faithful to the Lord Jesus no matter what hardships they face as a result of their conversion.

Hebrews 12 speaks to the Jewish Christians struggling to stay faithful, and encourages them not only to power through, but take joy in their suffering.

Where do rights actually come from? In this installment of the "Biggest Lies of the Left" series, Caleb explains why leftists try so hard to make people believe human rights come from the government, not God.
