In this insightful, 18 minute podcast, Chuck Carlson,, Tom Compton and Craig Hanson look into what Jesus meant by His call to His followers: "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God" (Matthew 5:9). Christians who advocate war (for example, see our four minute video, "John Hagee With Benny Hinn: Praying for War in the Name of Jesus") send an errant message to non-Christians that contradicts the teachings of Jesus.

In this 32 minute Bible examination, Mark Horton looks at the significance and meaning of the phrase "the blood of Christ" and the "house of God." In the book of Hebrews and throughout the New Testament, physical things are used to demonstrate spiritual truths.

Our friends at the Free Palestine Movement (FPM) are organizing a North America Nakba Tour to raise the awareness of the Nakba, the Catastrophe, of 1948, where over 700,000 Palestinians were forced from their homes and over 400 of their villages were destroyed by the Zionists founders of Israel and their terrorist operations, like the Irgun and the Stern Gang. For background on the Nakba, please watch this historic documentary, Sands of Sorrow, made in 1950. Please check FPM's website to find out  If the tour is coming to your city and how you can help to educate others about the issue.

In this 28 minute Bible examination by Mark Horton and members of We Hold These Truths we learn that once the Israelite's' temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD, no mechanism remained for sins to be covered until the blood of Jesus could do away with them for once and all. God's plan was to cleanse all who would believe, by faith, in Jesus, so that they could go directly to Him, not through the intercessory priesthood of the Old Testament, for forgiveness of sins.

In this 28 minute Bible examination, we offer this warning to any dispensational, Christian Zionists who happen to listen: "Warning! This program contains thought provoking ideas that may require a paradign shift for the thinking listener." Mark Horton looks at the concept that it was impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Nothing in the Law of Moses could cleanse the conscience of a guilty sinner. Hebrews stresses the supremacy of unseen spiritual things over physical things. The children of Abraham are children by faith, not by blood lineage. The questions and comments by Chuck Carlson, Richard Edmondson, Craig Hanson and Glen Lesnick make this a great lesson worth a listen or two.

We always welcome challenges here at We Hold These Truths. In this dynamic, 23 minute program, we address an email sent to Chuck Carlson from "Miss Vicky." Chuck starts his reply: "No, Miss Vicki, I do not want to “see millions of Jews killed during the Second Coming, as you wrote to us.  But, I am more worried about you because it appears that you believe the false doctrine you quoted me, and, more than likely, you spread it.  Your doctrine is called Christian Zionism, and, it causes millions to see Jesus as a destroyer of Jews unless they are converted to Jesus first. Let’s talk about it as two followers of Christ, trying to correctly follow Him." Our program includes a discussion about C.I. Scofield and his reference Bible. (Check out "The Shadowy Origins of C.I. Scofield: Godfather of Christian Zionism" for a more in depth look at Scofield, and, our documentary, Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I as mentioned in the program.)
