Hey, we’re Adam and Aaron, and we have a simple belief: faith should be rooted in truth, not tradition. On this show, we question everything—doctrines, traditions, cultural expectations, and religious dogma—not to dismantle Christianity, but to restore it to its biblical and historical essence. Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, deconstructing your beliefs, or just longing for some intellectual honesty, The Christian Skeptic is a space for real conversations about what it truly means to follow Jesus. New episodes drop every Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts. Follow along and be part of the conversation at thechristianskeptic.org.Copyright © 2025 The Christian Skeptic.

  • Why Most Christians Are Wrong About Israel and Iran

    Why Most Christians Are Wrong About Israel and Iran
    Jun 24 2025
    This week, we dissect a clip claiming that current events in Israel and Iran are predicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39. But is that what the Bible actually says? We explore the history behind this passage, why it’s been misinterpreted, and how fear-based theology distorts Scripture. From the rise of modern dispensationalism to the ancient context of Ezekiel’s vision, we unpack what the text really means—and why it matters how we read the Bible. In this episode: (00:00) – The Middle East is exploding (again) (05:01) – Will Jesus descend and win the war for Israel? (06:39) – Manufactured theology (08:33) – Interpreting the Bible badly (10:34) – A quick history of bad predictions (14:27) – What is Ezekiel actually talking about? (22:29) – Gog, Haman, and the book of Esther (25:30) – Why fear is the wrong response (28:00) – The real problem with “end times” theology (33:35) – Jesus wins, but not like that Get full show notes and links at https://www.thechristianskeptic.org.
