The Immutable Word

In this episode of The Immutable Word, Robert delivers a clear, convictional message from Psalm 119 explaining why the Bible is the final authority. He addresses the Bible’s eternal origin, its preserving faithfulness through generations, and practical ways Scripture cleanses and guides believers. The sermon also tackles common attacks on translations and the claim that only originals could be inspired, and reminds listeners to trust, study, and obey the preserved Word in their hands.

In this episode of The Immutable Word, the hosts explain a simple framework for expressing beliefs: state the what (the doctrine), give two whys (why it’s true and why it matters), and back both with explicit and implicit biblical evidence. They discuss common pitfalls—emotional appeals, tradition, and circular reasoning—and show how the model improves clarity, strengthens faith, and prepares Christians to give a reasoned answer for their hope. Practical tips include writing a personal statement of faith, using catechisms or church statements as a starting point, and practicing concise arguments to build confidence in witnessing and teaching.

In this episode Robert and Alan wrap up their fallacy series by unpacking the false analogy: why comparing two superficially similar things can lead Christians into bad doctrine and weak arguments. They stress the importance of discerning differences, testing relevance, and grounding apologetics in sound doctrine.   Listeners are encouraged to study Scripture, learn logical tools, and practice critical thinking in everyday conversations—movies, social media, church, and evangelism—to better defend and present the faith.   --Resources-- Books Discerning Truth by Dr. Jason Lisle.

Join Robert's college lecture as he introduces the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, exploring the Spirit's personhood, role within the Godhead, and scriptural foundations. Robert addresses common objections and heresies, explains how the Spirit teaches through Scripture, and offers practical guidance for defending and living out this doctrine.

Part 9 of the fallacies series explains equivocation — using the same word with different meanings to mislead. Robert and Alan define the fallacy, give examples from faith, evolution, scripture, and everyday speech, and show how it undermines honest dialogue. They offer practical tips: define terms, trace word usage, and ask probing questions. The episode ties critical thinking to biblical faith and warns against handling God’s Word deceitfully.

Robert and I discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, focusing on his public witness, Christian testimony, and influence on college campuses through Turning Point USA. We trace the reactions across society, connect the attack to deeper cultural and spiritual trends, and remind listeners of America’s Baptist roots in defending liberty of conscience and free speech. The episode urges Christians to use the open door left by recent events to share the gospel, pray for the Kirk family and leadership, and to respond with humility and boldness rather than division.

Our logical fallacy series continues with the Red Herring—when someone introduces an irrelevant issue to divert attention from the main point. We’ll break it down at multiple levels, share real-life examples, and equip you to spot and stop these distractions in any conversation.

In this conversation, I sit down with Moses Fernandez where he shares his profound journey from a challenging childhood to finding faith and purpose in life. He reflects on the trials he faced growing up in a single-parent household, the impact of mentorship, and the joy of serving others in ministry. Moses emphasizes the importance of using his business as a platform for ministry and expresses gratitude for the challenges that have shaped him. His testimony highlights the transformative power of faith and the joy of making a positive impact on the lives of others. He discusses the importance of mentorship, the challenges he faced, and how he uses his skills for a higher purpose, including his podcast, The Overflow Channel, aimed at helping others. Throughout the conversation, Moses emphasizes the significance of faith, personal growth, and the desire to make a positive impact on others' lives.   To follow Moses, you can find him at: https://www.youtube.com/@The_Overflow_Channel You can view the video portion of this episode on his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrE7LlPudQk&t=5886s  

What makes a truly effective Christian manager? You don't have to have an official title to be a leader, and the principles of good management and leadership are not only designated for the secular world, they are universal and in fact, are drawn from the Bible. Don't believe it? Join us as we dig in further in part two of the Effective Christian Manager.

What makes a truly effective manager? Mark Horstman’s The Effective Manager reminds us it’s not about being liked—it’s about consistent behaviors that drive results while developing a high-performing team. In this episode, we explore these principles and draw a biblical parallel that sheds even deeper light on leadership done God’s way.

Since the original airing of episode 14: "Should Christians support modern-day Israel?", there had been several objections in the comments section about the Christian stance about Gods everlasting covenant and if it still applies today. In this episode, we confront those objections, and debunk the claims that the Church has replaced Israel. God’s promises are unconditional, His covenant unbroken, and Scripture reveals a future plan for ethnic Israel beyond the Church Age.   The Immutable Word Website: www.theimmutableword.com Music produced by Stephen Rubinosky of 1611 Sound.

Logical fallacies undermine truth and cloud meaningful discussions. In this episode, we uncover the danger of Hasty Generalization and why Christians must guard against misrepresentation in our reasoning.   The Immutable Word Website: www.theimmutableword.com Music produced by Stephen Rubinosky of 1611 Sound.

The King James Bible isn’t just another translation—it’s God’s perfectly preserved Word for us today.

Think those little italicized words in your King James Bible are just editorial fluff? What if they’re actually part of God’s inspired and preserved Word—chosen by translators guided by the Holy Spirit for clarity, consistency, and completeness, and even confirmed by other Scriptures and later manuscript discoveries?

When it comes to Bible translations, people get lost in the weeds—manuscript evidence, Greek grammar, scholarly preferences, and endless debates over textual variants.

As we continue our Fallacy Series, we want to look at the next logical fallacy in our line-up, the infamous “Circular Reasoning”. As we’ve covered in previous installments, logical fallacies are errors in our reasoning process. Where we fail to think rationally, and reasonably about issues, but rather respond in a way that does not honor the character and integrity of God. Join us as we explore how to identify this fallacy and ensure we don't commit them ourselves.    The Immutable Word Website: www.theimmutableword.com Music produced by Stephen Rubinosky of 1611 Sound.

We’re continuing our examination of common logical fallacies. As a reminder, logical fallacies are errors in our reasoning process. Where we fail to address the actual argument, but rather appeal to our emotions, appeal to cultural popularity, or worse attack the person instead of the claim being debated. As Christians, our commitment must be to truth—not to gut feelings or emotionally driven arguments. Learning to recognize logical fallacies equips us to handle Scripture more faithfully and engage others more thoughtfully. After all, our aim should always be the honest pursuit of truth.   The Immutable Word Website: www.theimmutableword.com Music produced by Stephen Rubinosky of 1611 Sound.

The Bible is a complex book - filled with commandments, guidance, and, of course, centuries of interpretation. But what happens when people apply some of its teaching while ignoring others? Are we being selective with religious rules? Or is there a deeper, theological reasoning behind which laws remain applicable today?    The Immutable Word Website: www.theimmutableword.com Music produced by Stephen Rubinosky of 1611 Sound.

We are back with our series where we discuss the "False Dilemma" fallacy. Join us as we explore what this fallacy is, how to spot it, and how to keep from committing it. 

As we celebrate Independence Day, let's remember a man, John Leland, a baptist preacher, who advocated for liberty of conscience and ultimately had a hand in ensuring religious liberty in our constitution.  Author: Robert G.
