This week on the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate attempts to discuss the Vatican's new ruling on Mary (spoiler: she's not 'Co-Redemptrix,' but they're still... Catholic about it). But first, the team tackles the horrifying new trend of turning IVF embryos into jewelry, which is apparently a thing now. This somehow leads to a discussion on the origins of baseball, before a guest joins for a marathon session of 'Stump the Christian.' We tackle all the classics: If babies go to heaven, why is abortion wrong? Are all Bible versions (KJV, NIV, ESV) just hopelessly different? What about the "contradiction" of the crucifixion time? (Mark 15 vs. John 19) Who really wrote the Gospels? And why is Steph allowed to talk if 1 Timothy 2:11 exists? We also cover the theological purpose of the 'Hail Mary' and Steph's harrowing story of being counseled to terminate a pregnancy. It's a full episode of Debunking Bible Contradictions: The Crucifixion, Bible Versions, and Vatican's Mary Ruling.
