Summary

During my Sabbatical, I wanted to post some short podcasts that only reached a limited number of people several years ago. They are short answers to tough apologetics and theological questions. There are 30 in total that we will be releasing every day. I hope you enjoy.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic Christianity,
0:06.4	discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with clarity, kindness and truth and we are going to continue to do that even while I'm on sabbatical and not
0:15.1	recording full-length episodes until after the new year. But as we were going
0:19.6	through some old content we realized that there were some posts that only went out to a select group of
0:24.2	listeners and many of you, if you've been following the podcast for the past two or three years,
0:29.5	have not heard these posts and these are short answers to tough theological and apologetics
0:34.6	questions so we're going to be bringing a new one to you every day during sabbatical
0:38.2	here's today's. We are coming up on a time of year when the resurrection of a virgin-born child whose followers called the Good Shepherd and Messiah is celebrated.
0:59.0	He had 12 disciples, performed miracles, and sacrificed himself for the peace of the world.

1:18.5	Think I'm talking about Jesus?

1:23.3	This is a common claim that is made by skeptics all over popular media, the Internet, and even
1:28.0	in some universities.
1:29.9	The only problem, it's simply not true. According to Mithraic tradition, Mithras was born out of solid rock.
1:36.7	I guess it counts if the rock was a virgin. His birth was celebrated on December 25th,
1:42.2	but Christians already knew that wasn't the real date of
1:44.9	Christ's birth. There is no evidence that he had 12 disciples, sacrificed himself for world peace,
1:51.3	or that he was called Good Shepherd or Messiah. Many mythological
1:55.8	characters were thought to be miracle workers so maybe they can have that one, but
