The Bob Siegel Show

Bob begins by talking about the two miraculous incidents on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on water and calmed the storm. He then goes on to talk about other kinds of storms, sometimes involving other people, that come up in our lives.

Bob explains how Jesus, in healing on the Sabbath, was not disobeying the actual written law of Moses, but rather, an oral tradition amongst the rabbis of his day. Bob then talks about whether the Biblical Sabbath is applicable for New Testament times.

Bob expounds upon Jesus' talk with the Samaritan woman in John 4, showing how a knowledge of the history and customs reveals more than meets the eye about the significance of this conversation. Bob then goes on to talk about the example Jesus showed regarding the use of tact during evangelism presentations.

Sometimes Jesus rebuked people when they asked for signs. At other times, He encouraged watching for signs. Bob examines several Bible passages to show when this is appropriate or inappropriate.
Also:
-Did the demonic world know ahead of time that Jesus would pay for our sins on the cross or were they surprised?
-More responses to audio clips from skeptics

Bob's producer Brendan Thomas plays more audio comments of atheist attacks on the Bible from the Internet and Bob responds.

Starting with a rebuke from John the Baptist, Bob reviews Biblical commands about placing our trust in God rather than putting our human leaders on too high a pedestal.

Bob shows from Scripture how accepting Jesus is not mere intellectual belief but a response to the Spirit of God who makes Christ known.

Bob expounds upon the first conversation Jesus had with Nicodemus and the words "You must be born again." He then goes to other Scripture on the subject talking about our relationship with the Holy Spirit and the promise of a future resurrection in heaven.

Description: Bob traces the history of God's temples from the time of Solomon to the rebuilding after Jews returned from Babylon to the expansion under King Herod.

Bob discusses the implications of Jesus changing water into wine and then goes on to take additional Bible questions from listeners.

Was he Elijah returned?

Why was Jesus baptized by John when Jesus had no sin to repent of?

Does ancient history outside the New Testament corroborate the existence of John?

Was John part of the Essene community?

While emphasizing friendliness and gentleness as a general rule in evangelism, Bob nevertheless points out the occasional exception to the rule called “tough love.”

Bob starts out by completing a discussion from last week about John's usage of the Greek word 'logos'. He then goes on to challenge the popular assumption that Jesus spoke Aramaic rather than Hebrew.

Bob explores the famous opening to John's gospel where Jesus, as the second person of the Trinity, is called "the WORD of God." Bob also expounds upon similar terminology in Old Testament divine encounters.

Bob answers a question about the possibility of life on other planets and how that would relate to biblical truth.

Also: Did Moses really write the first five books of the Bible?-Why are there churches who reject biblical teaching?

If Can was the first child of Eve, why was he afraid that his banishment would bring him to other people? Where did these other people come from?

Other Questions:
Does the Book of Enoch belong in the Bible?
Are Mormons true Christians?

In addition to the subject of tattoos, Bob takes other questions including what the Bible means by the term "Sons of God," and why Jesus needed to pray to the Father if they are co-equally God.

Bob’s producer Brendan plays more clips off the Internet, many from people who feel they have disproven the truth of Christianity and one from a liberal Christian who tries to defend open borders. Other subjects include questions such as, “If Jesus was co-equally God, why did He need to pray?”

Starting with Paul as an example, Bob discusses giving up things that in and of themselves may be good but should nevertheless be sacrificed for the greater good.

Bob goes through some passages in the New Testament where Paul gave advice on how to deal with questions such as whether or not it was permissible to eat meat that had once been sacrificed to pagan idols. This moves into a discussion of present day practices that Christians hold varying opinions about such as drinking alcohol, watching  R rated movies, etc.
