Mike and Ben discuss when the Lord’s Day is in Revelation 1:10. Many today suggest the day is Sunday. Other’s suggest Saturday. Is there textual and Biblical evidence to support one idea or the other? In the second half of the show they discuss the introduction to the Seven Churches. This and some really bad dad jokes complete this edition of the Thinking Cup Podcast. It’s not your normal Bible Talk.

Is Christmas born out of pagan tradition? Or could it be that pagan tradition is born out of a skewed ceremony or festival designed by God? Why the Christmas tree? Why December 25? It’s all in today’s provocative conversation.

The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth in six days. Were those days six literal days? Or were they ages of times? There seems to be some debate about the length of a day, because Moses suggests a day equals the time from sundown to sundown (evening and morning was one day (Genesis 1). However, 2 Peter 3:8 says "a day with the Lord is as a 1000 years..." Does the Bible contradict itself? Was creation 6, 1000 year time periods? Ben and Mike discuss.

A continuation of the discussion on God, and what the Bible is talking about when it talks about the Council of the gods. Are there other gods out there? How do we reconcile that with God’s own words when He says, “I am God and there is none other (Isaiah 45:5)”?

Psalm 82 tells us that God takes His seat in the Council of the gods. What does that mean? Are there other beings in the world who act like gods? But doesn’t the Bible say there is only one God—YAHWEH is His name? Is there a divine council that meets somewhere? Mike and Ben explore the Scriptures to find answers to this intriguing question.

In a world where politicians tell us one thing and do another, is there no accountability? What about in the church, in our communities, or in our streets, where has integrity gone? In this episode, Mike and Ben discuss the importance of having our word be worth something. If the world is going to get changed, it has to start with us.
