Posted on February 8, 2026 by ehurst

We’ll Be Okay

Posted on February 4, 2026 by ehurst

It Matters to God

Posted on January 31, 2026 by ehurst

Re — Naked Bible 126: Ezekiel 18 I believe Heiser chases too many rabbits in this podcast. It’s not as complicated as he makes it out to be. How many times did God miraculously spare His people in the OT? … Continue reading →

The Omphalos

Posted on January 28, 2026 by ehurst

Re: Naked Bible 124: Ezekiel 17 You can quickly discern who is a fake scholar of ancient religions by how they take the ANE mythology literally. Fake scholars (the kind typically hired for TV shows about ancient history) will talk … Continue reading →

Rehab for Fallen Leadership?

Posted on January 24, 2026 by ehurst

Staying Out of the Way

Posted on January 20, 2026 by ehurst

Identifying Abraham’s Ur

Posted on January 17, 2026 by ehurst

An Issue with Ezekiel 14

Posted on January 13, 2026 by ehurst

Re: Naked Bible 122: Ezekiel 14-15 Right in the middle of this podcast, roughly the 20:00 mark, Heiser begins talking about Ezekiel 14. Later at the 30:00 mark he raises a couple of small issues that I want to address. … Continue reading →

Tearing Down His Covenant

Posted on January 12, 2026 by ehurst
