Did Trump Really Say That?! (part 1)

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

This episode is part 1 of examining common claims about something Donald Trump said.

As we examine each trope let’s ask ourselves “Did Trump really say that?!”

Context is king. There can be more than meets the eye than what media will often have us believe.

In part 1 we dissect three hoaxes:

  1. The Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax
  2. The immigrants are “animals” and “not people” hoax
  3. The “inject bleach” hoax

Was Jesus a Socialist? (part 11)

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism. A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 11 we look at three parables to see if they lean more socialist or free market capitalist: The hidden treasure in the field The pearl of great price The vineyard tenants Because the parable of the vineyard tenants is Jesus’ ultimate parable about the history of Israel, one would think the illustration would be important. The vineyard owner took risks, set up capital equipment, and established a business. The vineyard laborers seemed to prefer a violent revolution and

Was Jesus a Socialist? (part 10)

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism. A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 10 we look at the parable of the unjust steward. A “Christian socialist” claims that this parable proves that Jesus favors defrauding wealthy people to give to the poor. While this parable and Jesus’ application can be hard to understand at first, closer study reveals that Jesus wants us to be good stewards of money unlike His worldly examples–including both the merchant and his unjust steward.

The Molech Cult of the DNC

After I dropped off my sons for a church youth activity I recorded most of this episode in my car in the parking lot. I shared a few thoughts mostly about the march on Monday afternoon before the opening speeches. Women dressed as abortion pills, pro-Palestine protesters, rainbow flags, and a sign that says “Trump and J.D. Vance are weird” donned the street. During the first two days of the DNC, a mobile clinic offered free chemical abortions for women and vasectomies for men. Outside the center was a giant inflatable IUD. Inside the building was a display of giant inflatable abortion pills. Several speakers emphasized abortion as a fundamental right necessary for freedom. Is there a reason not to

Can Scripture Tell Us Who Jesus Is?

As I was reading stuff online I came across an article from Roman Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong against William Lane Craig’s defense of monothelitism. Armstrong blames Craig’s error on Sola Scriptura and rejecting the “infallibility” of the Roman Catholic church. While I agree that Craig is wrong about monothelitism, I also believe Armstrong is wrong about why. This episode addresses both the error of monothelitism and the error of Roman Catholic epistemology. I believe Craig’s philosophy is the problem. I also believe history disproves Armstrong’s “infallible church” idea and that Scripture is the authority for determining who Jesus is.
