Cultic marketing resurrects supersessionist Rom 11 failures. Yawn.

Supersessionism is over. The rest of the book is "I know this topic, nobody ever has known it as well as I do, trust me bro". Over 3-4 chapters in before you even get into defining the topic, according to Number One Best Topic Master Author (^tm). But not before you get the kool-aid spiel of promise to read the whole thing, like, share, subscribe to this ideology or you're missing out. Again, trust me bro. This book is perfect for either the ignorant or those with patience for ego stroking manipulation tactics. Highly recommend to read only in the month June.

Acquired a greater appreciation for Jesus legal and ethical arguments with his contemporaries regarding how to best obey God. Traditional and modern Christianity's disdain for its Jewish roots has become so tiresome and is antithetical to everything Jesus ever said, so I appreciated this book actually accounted for historical context of the gospel and epistolic literature. Keep em coming, FFOZ. Ruth 1:16

Loved the historical explication of the Jewish, Latin, and Greek worldviews that have led to vastly different understandings of the gospel. Further appreciate that the gospel is put in context of the story of history, beginning (protology), middle (age of mercy), and end (eschatological day of the Lord). While I appreciate the thorough sourcing throughout the book, it does get a bit tedious to listen to in audible format. If only this was broken further down into Twitter Gen sized shareable pieces. For the youths.

Where has ths been for the past 2K years?! Better late than never. Truly a godsend for our generation. Will be making a point to share with my prayer groups, book clubs, and gift along with the Bible to all new disciples. Hopefully, Lancaster will start on a second epistle to the western churches. ;)

Excellent exposition on taming the tongue, with pragmatic instructions to avoid speaking of and listening to evil. Deep dive greatly appreciated, and insights not normally considered regarding slander.

Mike will forever be one of the greats because in all his efforts, he has considered his audience as more important than himself (Phil 2:3). His respect for the intelligence of his listeners has been evidenced by his fearlessly digging into the meatier portions of the word with us over the years, and has in no small part encouraged many to leave the pablum of comfortable Churchianity behind in search of the Way of Truth to Life. Proverbs 23:23 tells us buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding. Mike's gift of instruction, understanding, and wisdom, along with testing of difficult areas, has been an audible journey of gold refinement. Definitely worth an exchange of one's time. May the Lord bless you all.

There are no words to accurately translate the sheer silver joy of listening to this piece. But isn't that the point of the book?

Resurrected does not equal coming back to life? A coherent outline would be useful as well.

was like listening to a slow reader recap the highlights of a buzzfeed list. common sense listed out isn't particularly helpful, especially in a genre where listeners tend to already be in tune with common sense. if you have to tell listeners to Google something, then listening isn't going to impart much useful information. tell us where to get gamma seals or mylar bags or whether one is more useful than another for specific food items. I had to quit at 'buy tinned foods'. come on.

I dislike YouTube when listening to long podcasts or teachings because it drains my phone battery and I'm not paying to have YT keep running when I turn my screen off. Tried the BibleThinker app, which crashes randomly. Audible is my reliable go-to for listening throughout the day, with zero ad interruption, and I'm so happy to have found Mike's work here.

Been binging BibleThinker on YT for about six months now, have only found a handful of things I disagreed with, but I never disagree with the godly manner in which Mike presents himself and his information. When I run into those tough gotcha questions that trolls like to throw down, I have started consulting Mike to see if he has a perspective on the matter, especially if I hadn't heard of some issue before. Thanks for pointing us to other great apologists and podcasts as well.

May our Lord continue to bless your ministry, now more than ever, in Jesus name.
