Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel

Who Gave the World the Bible?

Did the Roman Catholic Church give the world the Bible as they claim? From a book titled “The Bible is a Catholic Book” by Jimmy Akin the inside flap has this written: “In The Bible Is a Catholic Book, Jimmy shows how the Bible cannot exist apart from the Church. In its origins and its formulation, in the truths it contains, in its careful preservation over the centuries and in the prayerful study and elucidation of its mysteries, Scripture is inseparable from Catholicism. This is fitting, since both come from God for our salvation.” Catholic Bible 101 claims, "the Church gave the world the Bible. The Bible does not exist apart from the church."

Is that accurate? Are the truths of the Bible inseparable from Roman Catholicism? Is it true that the Bible cannot possibly exist apart from the Roman Catholic Church? The Roman Catholic Church did not formally accept its canon of the Bible until the 1546 Council of Trent.

And the Greek/Eastern Orthodox? They did not finalize their canon until 1672 at the Synod of Jerusalem.

Would God have left His true church without His word for centuries?

What about a Protestant church? Did one of the Protestant churches give the world the Bible? The Protestant churches were born from the Roman Catholic Church, so they came later in time. If the Roman Catholic Church didn’t bring the world the Bible, then humanity was without the word of God for even more centuries.

One thing is certain – the instant one of the books of the Bible was written, someone had it; even if it was only the author. So, was there a church that had a continuous chain of custody of the scriptures? If so, what church was it? Is there historical proof that one group had a continuous chain of custody of the books of the Bible the instant they were written – not centuries later?

The fact is that the Greco-Roman Catholic and Protestant churches did NOT accept the validity of several books of the New Testament. Yet, from the beginning the Church of God did and has maintained the chain of custody since the Apostle John handed down the books and the knowledge of the canon to Polycarp of Smyrna, who passed this on to others.

From Apostles to Canon: Who Preserved the Books of the Bible?

Summary

The Question of Biblical Origins
The episode begins with a direct question about who gave the world the Bible. Dr. Bob Thiel answers that God did and then contrasts that position with Roman Catholic claims about the Church's role in the Bible's origin, formation, and preservation. He cites a Catholic book and Catholic-oriented sources as examples of the position that the Bible cannot be separated from the institutional Church. The discussion then focuses on the formation of the biblical canon and the timing of formal Catholic declarations about which books belong in Scripture. Throughout the episode, these claims are presented as part of Dr. Thiel's argument rather than as independently established historical conclusions.

Catholic Claims and Canon Disputes
Dr. Thiel discusses Catholic material concerning the recognition of the biblical canon and points to historical uncertainty over books such as Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2 John, Jude, and Revelation. He argues that this uncertainty undermines the claim that the Roman Church uniquely preserved a continuously known canon from the beginning. He also refers to the Council of Trent and says the Catholic Church did not make an infallible declaration concerning the canon until the 16th century. He contrasts that timeline with biblical passages he interprets as implying that true Christians would have known and possessed the Scriptures. His central contention is that inspiration came from God and was not created by later church councils.

Apostolic Custody in Asia Minor
A major part of the episode centers on the idea of a "chain of custody" for the biblical books. Dr. Thiel argues that the apostles and their recipients possessed the inspired writings from the time they were written, with the Apostle John eventually having access to the full collection. He emphasizes John's residence in Asia Minor and says many New Testament books were written to or from people connected with that region. He then links John with Polycarp and presents this relationship as evidence that knowledge of the canon continued in Asia Minor. The argument is that a continuous community, rather than later councils, preserved awareness of the inspired books.

Early Church Figures and Scripture
Dr. Thiel names several early Christian figures in support of his chain-of-custody position, including Papias of Hierapolis, Polycarp, Melito of Sardis, Polycrates of Ephesus, Serapion of Antioch, and Lucian. He says these figures demonstrate familiarity with sacred Scripture and, in some cases, concern about distinguishing accepted writings from disputed or noncanonical texts. Polycarp's letter to the Philippians is presented as especially important because Dr. Thiel argues that it quotes from or alludes to all 27 New Testament books. Melito's investigation of the Old Testament canon is used to support a canon that excludes the Apocrypha. Serapion's rejection of the Gospel of Peter is presented as another example of an early community making distinctions among writings.

Later Catholic and Protestant Questions
The episode moves from the early centuries to later Catholic and Protestant history. Dr. Thiel refers to disputes over several New Testament books, Jerome's work on a Latin Bible, the inclusion of the Apocrypha, and later Catholic declarations about the canon. He also discusses Protestant figures such as Zwingli and Martin Luther, arguing that some Reformers continued to question books such as Revelation, Hebrews, James, and Jude. The 1611 King James Version is mentioned as having included the Apocrypha as an appendix. Dr. Thiel uses these later disagreements to reinforce his claim that both Roman Catholic and Protestant traditions experienced uncertainty that, in his view, did not characterize the Church of God tradition he represents.

The Episode's Final Claim
In the closing portion, Dr. Thiel rejects the idea that no Christian community knew the biblical canon until centuries after the apostles. He argues instead that the true Church would have known the Scriptures, preserved them, and maintained a historical chain of custody from the apostles onward. He says later scholarly assumptions often treat Greco-Roman Christianity as representative of Christianity as a whole, while his interpretation emphasizes a smaller "little flock" described in Luke 12:32. When the host repeats the opening question, Dr. Thiel again answers that God gave the world the Bible. The episode ends by directing listeners to additional interviews, written material, and audio content on the program's website.

The Jim Craine Show

Beatlemania Memories, Classic Television Stories, and a Lifetime of Show Business. Memories with Laurie Jacobson

Summary

Atlantic City, Steel Pier, and a Show-Business Life
Jim Craine opens the episode with his characteristic mix of music, jokes, sponsor acknowledgments, and stories from a career he says has lasted 51 years. Broadcasting from Pleasantville Music in New Jersey, he reflects on growing up around Atlantic City entertainment and spending a decade working at the Steel Pier. He recalls seeing performers ranging from rock acts to major big bands and describes how those years shaped his love of live entertainment. He also promotes an upcoming Steel Pier Alumni Reunion and invites former performers, dancers, employees, and fans to attend. The opening portion of the program establishes the episode as a nostalgic celebration of classic show business, local history, and the people who kept those traditions alive.

Music, Local Business, and Community Connections
Throughout the show, Jim mixes entertainment with support for local businesses and community institutions. He promotes Pleasantville Music, its vinyl selection, back-to-school instrument rentals, and the value of introducing children to music. He also gives sponsor mentions to local restaurants, printing services, and lodging businesses, while using comic voices and recurring sound effects as part of the presentation. Jim recounts how a nun at his grammar school recognized his singing ability and helped introduce him to harmony and performance. He also emphasizes the importance of supporting small businesses and describes his own music shop as part of that local tradition. These segments reinforce the program's blend of neighborhood radio, personal history, and old-school variety-show energy.

Jim Craine's Beatles Memory and the Sound of Beatlemania
Before Laurie Jacobson joins the program, Jim recounts seeing the Beatles in Atlantic City in 1964. He says he attended because of his work connection to the Steel Pier and remembers Jackie DeShannon appearing before the Beatles and local disc jockey Hy Lit introducing the group. According to Jim, the audience became so loud that hearing the music was difficult, even though he had a good view from the balcony. He remembers "Twist and Shout" as the opening song and describes the intensity of the screaming as a defining feature of the experience. He also recalls A Hard Day's Night and Help! playing at the Steel Pier movie theater and jokes that he heard the films so often he could practically act them out. His memories provide a firsthand, highly personal perspective on the cultural force of Beatlemania.

Laurie Jacobson on Comedy, Robin Williams, and Classic Performers
Laurie Jacobson joins Jim for a conversation that moves through comedy history, classic performers, pets, and entertainment memories. She says she studied in a comedy-improv workshop led by Harvey Lembeck and describes being around young comedians before they were widely known, including Robin Williams and several names that are garbled in the source transcript. Jim responds with his own story of meeting Robin Williams at the Sands Hotel Casino and remembers Williams as extraordinarily quick at improvisation. Laurie adds that Williams was also kind, gentle, sweet, and fun. Their exchange expands into memories of classic comedians, television performers, and former child stars with whom Laurie has remained connected through the years. The tone is affectionate and nostalgic, with both speakers emphasizing the personalities behind famous performances.

Shea Stadium, St. Louis, and the Peak of Beatlemania
Laurie clarifies that she did not attend the Beatles' 1965 Shea Stadium concert because she lived in St. Louis and was about 12 years old at the time, but she did see the Beatles in St. Louis in 1966. She describes the Shea concert as a turning point that exposed how unprepared concert technology was for stadium-sized rock audiences. In her telling, fans could barely see or hear the band, creating pressure for later advances in large-scale sound and video presentation. She discusses her book Top of the Mountain and explains that its title comes from a recollection involving concert promoter Sid Bernstein and the idea that Shea represented the peak of Beatlemania. Jim and Laurie also discuss the later Shea appearance, John Lennon's controversial "more popular than Jesus" remark, and the extraordinary scale of the crowd. Together, their stories frame the Beatles not just as a musical act but as a catalyst for changes in live entertainment culture.

Classic Television, TV Dinners, and the Lassie Legacy
The conversation closes with Laurie's work preserving memories of classic television. She discusses TV Dinners, a book built around former child stars, their biographies, photographs, and favorite recipes, describing it as a collection that can reconnect baby boomers with their childhood television years. Laurie also talks about her husband, the actor who played Timmy in Lassie, and an upcoming visit to a historic tavern connected in her account with Eric Knight and the writing of Lassie Come-Home. Jim responds enthusiastically, recalling past interviews with classic television figures and expressing interest in bringing more of Laurie's friends and clients onto the program. The episode ends with Jim returning to local-business promotion, the Steel Pier Alumni Reunion, big-band music, and a closing theme that promises more stories, songs, laughter, and memories on the next show.

Cosmic Frequencies and Love in Action

Christopher Rudy opens the program by describing Cosmic Love as a broadcast about fast-changing world news, consciousness, and Aquarian frequencies. He introduces an AI-assisted song created with co-producer Donald Newsom from Rudy’s own Cosmic Love material. The lyrics emphasize love as a source of peace, healing, unity, forgiveness, and conscious evolution. Rudy says the gospel and rap elements energize him because of their frequencies. He frames love in action as the spirit that matters and as the power capable of lifting collective consciousness. The song establishes the program’s recurring themes of spiritual awakening, unity, and personal responsibility.

Newsletters and the Cosmic Weather Report

Rudy organizes the program around five recent newsletters, including Checkup from the Neck Up, The Enlightenment Option, Healing a Broken World Promptly, Have a Good Laugh, and True Revelations Are Disruptive. He describes each newsletter as a Cosmic Love sandwich containing truth, light, love, substantive material, satire, and humor. His cosmic weather report focuses on the sun’s transition from Leo into Virgo, yod configurations, the moon in Capricorn, and a cardinal grand cross. Rudy interprets these patterns as concentrating transformational fire and bringing impurities in collective consciousness to the surface. He compares the process to alchemy, in which heat purifies gold by separating unwanted material. These astrological interpretations are presented as Rudy’s spiritual and metaphysical analysis.

The Caterpillar and Butterfly Metaphor

The central metaphor portrays civilization as a caterpillar dissolving inside a cocoon before emerging as a butterfly. Rudy says current chaos, institutional decline, political conflict, and media dysfunction represent the disintegration stage rather than a final collapse. Caterpillar thinking includes cognitive dissonance, paradigm paralysis, stinking thinking, and what he calls being stuck in negativity. Butterfly consciousness represents enlightenment, unified-field awareness, 5D perception, and a new common sense based on global unity in diversity. He encourages listeners to review how far they have moved beyond caterpillar thinking and envision how they can mature and soar. The metaphor allows Rudy to present current instability as a painful but potentially constructive stage of conscious evolution.

Communication, Technology, and AI

Rudy links global enlightenment to the evolution of communications technology, from Netscape Navigator and early email to interactive media and publishing platforms such as Substack. Drawing on ideas he attributes to Mark Andreessen, Walt Disney, and Buckminster Fuller, he argues that meaningful change comes from building a new model that makes an old one obsolete. He imagines a transition from hardware, software, and networks toward “heartware” and a global TLC reset involving telecommunications, telecare, teleconscience, telecommunity, and telecommerce. AI, in his view, can strengthen authentic intelligence when prompted with love, wisdom, and a whole-system purpose. He presents his AI-assisted music and imagery as examples of the technology’s creative potential. At the same time, he warns that AI infrastructure may also support surveillance and a digital control grid when directed by entrenched power.

Spiritual Evolution and Aquarian Change

Rudy discusses ascended masters, Saint Germain, a 13-moon calendar, the Knowledge Book, and videos about ascension and human evolution. He describes the 2020s as a major turning point at the cusp of Aquarius and treats Uranus in Gemini as a symbol of rapid insight, innovation, AI, and quantum change. In his interpretation, geometry, astrology, Hermetic teaching, alchemy, and quantum reality all point toward an ordered and interconnected universe. He envisions humanity developing unified-field consciousness and becoming the United Sovereigns of Earth within an interactive global village. Rudy acknowledges that people occupy different positions across a spectrum of consciousness and that the change will not occur all at once. He urges listeners to set an intention, focus their attention, retain love, and pursue personal and planetary ascension.

Institutional Criticism and a Hopeful Conclusion

The latter part of the program presents Rudy’s criticism of governments, corporations, media, medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies, immigration policy, climate reporting, election systems, and COVID-era public-health narratives. He quotes or paraphrases memes and public figures while alleging institutional deception, financial conflicts, censorship, and manipulation. These claims, figures, and attributions are statements made by Rudy and are not independently verified in the transcript package. He balances the serious accusations with humor, wordplay, and an appeal to maintain a constructive attitude. Rudy concludes that revelations disrupting old belief systems may ultimately clear the way for a more compassionate and enlightened civilization. His final advice is to keep faith, see the good, dance freely, love openly, and become the change one wants to see.

Kryste Andrews and Dr David Daniels, Past-Life Mysteries, Alien Encounters, and the Psychology of Looking Your Best

Understanding Hypnosis

The program opens with host Mary Jane Popp asking whether hypnosis can reveal past lives and other unusual experiences. Hypnotherapist Kryste Andrews describes hypnosis as a theta state between ordinary wakefulness and sleep, reached through an induction. She says this state allows access to the subconscious and what she calls the higher self. Andrews acknowledges that some people resist hypnosis because they remain strongly attached to analytical, everyday awareness. Popp relates this idea to her own difficulty relinquishing control, including unsuccessful attempts to become intoxicated or hypnotized. Andrews suggests that a sufficiently urgent unanswered question might help Popp surrender that control.

Robert’s Search for Answers

Robert says he sought hypnotherapy after experiencing unexplained events, including waking in his locked backyard at 3:00 a.m., finding scratches on his body, and having vivid experiences he did not regard as dreams. He describes a childhood memory in which a being he later understood as a gray entered through a sliding door and communicated telepathically. Although his parents interpreted the event as an evil spirit, Robert says he never believed he had imagined it. He found Andrews through a referral and initially doubted she could hypnotize him, but he says he entered hypnosis quickly and remained under for approximately 80 minutes. The sessions reassured him that he was not losing his mind. Andrews presents his account as a distinctive case within her hypnotherapy practice.

Claims of Grays, Regression, and Family Experiences

Andrews and Robert say that, during hypnosis, a gray they named Fred began communicating through Robert. Over a year of sessions, Robert came to believe that he had once lived as a gray and that his present life is his first human incarnation. Andrews says the sessions led her to believe humans contain some alien DNA and that extraterrestrials influenced early human development. They also report that members of Robert’s family later described similar experiences without first receiving detailed information from him. The speakers further claim that Robert’s mother was inseminated aboard a spacecraft and that smaller beings called scientists directed the operation. These statements are presented in the transcript as the participants’ interpretations of their experiences, not as independently established facts.

Health, Religion, and the Planned Book

Robert reports undergoing 34 surgeries and describes a neck condition involving enlarged lymph nodes and nodules that allegedly disappeared before scheduled imaging. He says a figure speaking through hypnosis claimed responsibility for both causing and correcting the condition. The conversation then turns to religion, energy, death, and reincarnation. Robert and Andrews say Fred described religion as a structure created for human community and guidance, while Popp compares the enduring nature of energy with the religious concept of an eternal divine presence. Andrews says Robert believes he will return to being a gray after his human life. The guests close by discussing Andrews’s book Discovery and a planned work, 31 Conversations with an Alien, which may become an audiobook incorporating original session recordings.

Confidence, Aging, and Noninvasive Options

The second interview features plastic surgeon Dr. David Daniels, who says external procedures alone cannot create happiness and that confidence must begin internally. He discusses sunscreen, nutrition, exercise, mineral intake, and structural changes associated with aging. Daniels presents fillers as tools for restoring lost support rather than merely adding volume. He also describes Botox as potentially useful for softening expressions that other people perceive as angry, thereby changing social feedback. Noninvasive technologies discussed include EMFACE for facial muscles and brow position, EMSCULPT NEO for muscle strengthening, and EMSELLA for stress incontinence. Several performance figures and health claims in this portion are statements made by Daniels and were not verified outside the transcript.

Training, Fillers, and Patient Safety

Daniels emphasizes the difference between a formally trained plastic surgeon and someone using the broader label “cosmetic surgeon.” He warns against selecting injectors through discount offers, parties, or price alone, because product choice and anatomical knowledge affect safety and results. The discussion covers JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Allergan products, hyaluronic-acid fillers, facial fat transfer, and the ability to dissolve certain fillers if complications occur. Daniels says he avoids facial fat transfer because misplaced or excessive fat can be difficult to remove. Popp and Daniels agree that natural-looking improvement should help a person appear rested rather than dramatically altered. The source ends while Daniels is explaining a jaw-augmentation technique intended to restore structural support for two to four years.

Guest, Jeremy Asbrock, From a Childhood KISS Record to the Stage with Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley

A Childhood Spark

Jeremy Asbrock traces his musical path to a childhood encounter with KISS’s Alive II. At four years old, he bought one of the album’s records from a neighborhood child after his brother recommended the disc containing “Shout It Out Loud.” The energy of the crowd, explosions, and band made an immediate impression on him. He says he knew from that moment that he needed to be part of whatever created that feeling. KISS became his central musical focus until other bands and the guitar expanded his world. In hindsight, he finds it extraordinary that the music he first held as a child became part of his professional life.

Learning to Play Rock

Asbrock describes growing up near Nashville when the city was still primarily associated with country rather than rock. MTV and the hard-rock boom of 1983 and 1984 introduced him to bands including Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Ratt, Dokken, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, and Scorpions. His early guitar teachers focused on older songs and music reading, but a younger teacher finally connected with him by teaching the rock material he wanted to play. Asbrock was less interested in theory or virtuosity than in memorable songs, strong choruses, melodic solos, good singers, and fun. His first band, Rock Bottom, brought together the few teenage musicians in his town. While still a high school sophomore, he performed before roughly 800 people at Nashville’s Cannery.

The Studio, the Shazam, and England

Asbrock initially imagined himself working primarily in recording studios, inspired by the Beatles’ creativity and later studio experimentation. His friendship with the Shazam led him from helping with equipment and engineering their second record to joining the live band. When that album attracted attention in England, the group traveled there repeatedly within a year. He recalls broadcasting from Abbey Road, playing the piano associated with “Penny Lane,” appearing on BBC One, and eventually performing at Earl’s Court. Little Steven later gave the band airplay in the United States, although Asbrock says their larger breakthrough never fully arrived. The experience nevertheless reinforced a pattern he sees throughout his life: long-held musical interests later becoming real opportunities.

Onstage with Gene and Ace

Asbrock explains that his work with Gene Simmons preceded and helped lead to his work with Ace Frehley. His cover band, the Big Rock Show, had appeared on five KISS Kruises, giving people in the KISS organization opportunities to see the musicians perform. When Simmons needed a backing band for shows connected to his appearances and The Vault, Ryan Cook assembled a group that included Asbrock and Phil Shouse. Asbrock remembers Simmons as relaxed and interested in having fun rather than as a demanding musical perfectionist. He says Simmons gave the musicians room to establish their own presence onstage. Years of playing with Frehley later created a chemistry in which the band members could almost communicate telepathically, making the best performances especially meaningful.

Original Music and Continued Collaboration

Asbrock discusses forming Rock City Machine Co. with musicians who had already shared cover bands and work with Simmons and Frehley. Encouragement from a label-owning friend and songwriter-producer Marti Frederiksen finally moved them toward recording original material. Asbrock is proud of the album and considers every track strong enough to be a single, singling out “When Trouble Finds You” and its guitar solo. He also describes his long association with John Corabi, including performances of the 1994 Mötley Crüe album and later touring work. He praises a Corabi record made with Frederiksen for reflecting the classic-rock music Corabi genuinely enjoys. At the time of the interview, Asbrock was balancing Corabi dates, European plans, and Ace Frehley tribute performances.

Music, Family, and Perspective

For Asbrock, one of music’s greatest gifts has been the opportunity to see the world. Drawing on his own experience as the child of a military father, he wants his children to leave their bubble and encounter different cultures and ways of living. He also acknowledges the cost of touring, particularly time away from home and missed family experiences. Rather than directing his children into music, he wants them to find their own interests and paths. He hopes they avoid drugs and alcohol, which he describes as roadblocks that have harmed many people around him. The conversation closes with his social-media information, his account of recording “She” for Ace Frehley’s Origins, Vol. 2, and his statement that daily manifestation remains part of his morning routine.
