Considering Christianity as a Scientist Series

We follow-up on earlier podcasts going deeper into thought about Jesus and the resurrection, the impact and nature of the Spirit and soul, their interaction, and how it helps us find God and follow Jesus. 

There are so many groups and organizations, often with widely varying stated beliefs, that are associated with Christianity. These groups often argue, dispute, and sometimes even fight. How can this be? Why is it the case? And what should we as scientific and clear thinkers consider? 

After an absence, we return discussing thoughts about how to think and understand Christianity as a scientific, rational thinker especially given the current world condition and wars.  

In this discussion we consider why Jesus, why with a Supreme Creator God did we need an intermediator, an interface, a savior. Building on all our other podcasts we arrive at the crux of Christianity. 

Podcast 24 is the third and final part of this three-part series on living as a scientist and a Christian. We discuss the teaching of Jesus and how it applies and has meaning for us as scientific thinkers and as something we really feel has value. 

We continue from Part One of of this three part series on living as a scientist and a Christian. We discuss the reasoning of “Why Jesus”. 

This is a three-part series on Living as a Scientist and a Christian. This podcast, Podcast 22 is Part 1. We discuss accepting Christ and Christianity as a scientific thinker and then living as both. Being a scientist and a Christian is fully compatible and beneficial. 

This podcast continues our thoughts about Considering Christianity as Scientific thinking people but is a new series of shorter, more focused topics. This podcast discusses human hubris and how it impacts our thoughts about God and Christianity. 

Being a scientific thinker and considering the Christian concept and construct of prayer, how to pray, what to pray, is discussed. Developing a prayer approach, accepting prayer as a way to talk with God is considered. 

In Podcast 18 we discuss the history of the Book of James in the New Testament, the author’s story, and the teaching he relays to the distributed Jewish Christian believers. This may be the earliest written letter to Christians and the oldest book of the New Testament. It provides an insight into early Christianity and relays the teachings of Jesus. 

Podcast 17 continues our Considering Christianity as a Scientist series by addressing listener questions about repentance, baptism and sacrifice. We discuss the meaning and methods of the words and the concepts towards a broader understanding of these values of Christianity. 

Podcast 16 begins a series of responses to specific questions starting with the Creator God. This podcast is a follow up to Podcast 1 and discusses our God beyond what we understand as our physics based universe. 

Many scientific thinkers have a problem with the concept of the resurrection, living again after dying. This podcast discusses some key thoughts, assumptions and known data about the resurrection that helps a scientific thinker believe. 

This podcast discusses the teaching of Jesus during his trial and crucifixion and discusses the relationship of His disciple’s understanding to what He was saying. His discussions with the Jewish and Roman authorities also utilized teaching moments. Jesus actually mentions His teaching plan and style. For me, this helps me understand Jesus and His thoughts and actions and plans. 

We continue with a discussion of the teaching of Jesus directly to individuals or small groups, and the impacts it had on the local crowds and His followers. As critical thinkers we will appreciate the impact his teaching had on those who listened as well as the impacts of His actions.
