Pastor Bobby Leonard with Bible Baptist Tabernacle makes a shocking (and immoral) statement regarding sexual assault.

This disgusting tirade has sparked much attention, protests, and others to begin speaking out. In this episode, Will discusses the horrific statements.

With the rise of #BaalGate the topic of "infant damnation" has come up a LOT. Which means passages like Romans 5:12 and Original Sin are taking a strong position front and center.

This is a follow up episode to Brian's on Psalm 51:5 (episode 216).

In this second part of our two part series we respond to her commentary on Deuteronomy 22:28-29, Deuteronomy20:10-18, and John 3:16 and why those passages led her to question the validity of scripture, Jesus, and Christianity.

Will and Brian review Textus Receptus only debate between James White and Peter Van Kleek. What makes this debate so interesting is Van Kleek presupposes the TR-Only position as his argument. James White, a self-proclaimed presuppositionalist, didn't quite know what to do with this used in this context.  We let White define presuppositionalism and respond.

Hyles Anderson College invites two men for a creation seminar, then find out after the fact from the outrage of some that the men that presented have the wrong denomination, Bible translation, and hair length.

We respond to a Q&A part of Michael Knowles' show regarding the sinlessness of Mary, also known as Immaculate Conception.

We fact check Knowles' claim the church has "always believed this" by looking at some quotes from church fathers.

Will gives a big update in his life, Brian's life, and the Church Split. Listen until the end to hear some new things coming to The Church Split!

We dive deep into the reconstruction story of Julie! She discusses her life growing up with an IFB father, divorce in the IFB, Hyles Anderson college, abuse, expectations of "purity" on women verses men, and then ultimately leaving the IFB. Julie's story is inspirational on what she overcame while loving Jesus the whole time. She talks about how she ultimately left legalism but didn't leave Christ. Be prepared for both heart wrenching and uplifting feelings listening to this.

A quick review of the "Sparkle Creed" followed by a deep dive into "Stealth Calvinism". This is a term used to describe those who hold to the doctrines of grace infiltrating churches, denying that they hold to Calvinism to maintain plausible deniability, and then using obfuscation and equivocation when questioned. We draw on a situation popularized by Beyond the Fundamentals as well as our own personal experiences with it.

The episode was live and we cut it down a bit for time (mostly intro and ending)

Truth Over Tribe is a podcast seeking to challenge Christians and non-Christians on how you consider truth. Like The Church Split, they don't take themselves too seriously. They want Jesus to shape truth and not media, politics, and triblism. Patrick Miller is a pastor, co-host of the podcast, and co-author of their new book also named Truth Over Tribe. We discuss with Patrick triblism in his church, the American church, and how it is hurting the church, friendships, and families.

To round out spooky season, we have another review. This review of the Netflix TV Series, Dahmer. Dahmer is an interesting person from a Christian perspective as he exemplifies so much evil throughout his life, but also claims to have become a Christian in the last months of his life. Will breaks down the TV show, the real Jeffrey Dahmer, and poses the question if Christians should consider watching this show.

Continuing our movie review theme for the month of October, we have another "spooky" movie that Will has reviewed. The 1986 movie "The Fly" is a remake of an earlier version of the film.

We respond to an episode of The Gospel Truth and Marlon Wilson where Marlon made comments on an episode we aired in April 2022. The point of contention, from Marlon's perspective, was over what we believe is necessary for someone to be saved. We respond to Marlon's logic and comments as well as give our perspective on the requirements for salvation as well as reassert that we are in fact Trinitarians.

There have been several accusations falsely claiming we are not Trinitarians so we figured we might as well do an episode explicitly defending the Trinity while also revealing the bad arguments we have seen Trinitarians using to defend their views. We walk through the bad arguments and well-meaning proof texts we have heard. We then go through much better arguments from scripture for the Trinity while discussing what kind of push back you may receive from non-trinitarians.

Friend of the show Braxton Hunter from Trinity Radio posed 7 questions for Christian YouTubers to respond to. We took Braxton up on his offer. The questions:1. What do you mean when you say you are a Christian?2. What is the purpose of your channel?3. To what extent do you include considerations about content in your spiritual life (seeking prayer/guidance)?4. If someone asks you why they should be a Christian what do you say?5. What Christian beliefs and/or commitments do you think are essential for salvation?6. Besides not making videos with lists of questions like this one, what do you wish other Christian YouTubers would do differently?7. What is the best thing that has happened as a result of your experience as a Christian YouTuber?

We have friend of the show and fellow YouTuber and author Nick Quient on to discuss his views on egalitarianism in the church.

We also get into Deborah in the OT and how that affects the egalitarian position.

Dr. Jonathan McLatchie is the founder of a very interesting and new apologetics ministry called Talk About Doubts. They have an entire faculty read to engage over phone/zoom/in-person to discuss doubts people have. This can supplement churches and just help those that have no one else to ask. Dr. McLatchie also has a PhD in Biology and does debates with atheists on the evidence for God. We discuss his recent debate with Alex O'Connor (aka Cosmicskeptic), irreducible complexity, non-resistant non-believers, evidentialism, presuppositionalism, and a Q&A session at the end since this was recorded live.

We have talked about this doctrine on a few episodes, but never gave a full breakdown of our full belief and rationale until now. We dive into the doctrine of original sin, coined by Augustine of Hippo. We review scripture and the ramifications of such a doctrine on Jesus and his birth, Mary, babies (especially ones who pass away), desire and the causes of sin, our responsibility for sin and why we have no excuse, and other doctrines that are created or conflict with this presupposition.

We have been asked about this topic many times and we felt it was finally time to do a deep dive into what we believe on this topic. We go through numerous Bible references as we examine if a believer can forfeit their faith. We will review common objections from both sides. Even though there is disagreement in the body of believers on this doctrine, the end result for the believer is the same regardless of which side you fall under: Focus on your faith, cling to Jesus, submit to God's Word, produce good works from your faith, and give the gospel to to unbelievers.

With the impending potential overthrow of Roe v. Wade, we go through all the common pro-abortion arguments and give you methods on how to respond. We give overall discussion strategies, statistics, and even the most commonly used Bible verse taken out of context to support abortion. We address the 21 most arguments and then give you the SLED test for easy categorization of pro-choice arguments.

Will brings on Jordan Ferrier to interview Father Gregory Pine, author of "Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly" and a Catholic Priest. They discuss Thomas Aquinas and Divine Simplicity. With our first Catholic Priest interview, we truly show how you can escape your echo chamber and learn from different denominations of Christianity. You can learn from people even if you disagree with them on some matters.

On March 31, 2022 The Church Split was asked to leave the Recovering Fundamentalist Podcast Network marking the end of a 13 month of affiliation. What could have been a cordial exit of friends, mixed messages were given, confusion ensued, accusations levied, and people were hurt. We took time to create this, as we wanted to show our heart and the truth. The Church Split did not nor does not desire to separate from the RFPN and there were tactics employed to make it look as though we did. Our mission has always been to unite the divided body and we feel compelled, being so closely associated with a public separation, that an episode was needed. Let the record show, this should not have been needed.
