in 2014, my childhood american dream was abruptly halted because i wrote a book for a christian bible study on my own time that emphasized meant to be the husband's and father's and leaders that we have been called to be and that through crisis all things are possible. tooklanta city official issue with a few paragraphs i wrote in my book that described the big a bowl -- biblical view of sexuality. the city of atlanta suspended me and proceeded to conduct an investigation. the investigation was to determine if i had ever to scrimmage it -- ever discriminated against anyone. it concluded i had never discriminated against anyone. however, i was terminated anyway. wasn my history and work, i stunned at writing a book, encouraging men to be upstanding husbands and honorable fathers, jeopardize my career. the city's claim i was treating people and equally was particularly troublesome to me, because in my life as an african-american, i have experienced firsthand the negative attitudes, consequences, the slurs of discrimination because of the color of my skin. i lived with a, conviction that

guest: he talks about his christianity and bible reading, stopped pastoring the church, donald trump stopped going to church regularly. he is not making the effort to at least appear to be in church regularly as other presidents have done. host: let me ask you about the race in alabama and roy moore. president trump supporter -- supported luther strange and he lost. hist of questions about personal life and what happened in his 30's with allegations of teenagers in the 1970's and tell youhat does that about the president and evangelicals in that race in particular among alabama republicans? caller: -- guest: i think evangelicals who have a moral grid had to hold their nose to support roy moore. no one was happy about it, but there was a lot in the balance. to lose a seat would lock up the senate, so people stuck with roy moore wondering if the allegations were true and wondering if some of the women were not put up to the allegations they were making. i frankly think roy moore should have stepped down and let another man run for office, but nobody i know in d.c. was that happy about

a very sensitive way and it can be done just as an election ploy to make sure are christians in some of america's bible belt they're happy but so what will be to gain from that because although it was said on a campaign trail lots of things are said in an election campaign and i hesitate to say why not leave well alone in terms of jerusalem status what do you think from would have to gain by doing this. not much i mean he will gain a little bit with his base but you know what's happening in washington is very crazy i mean mr jared kirshner who the son in law of is trying to deal with the issues in fact he had their slowed down in an attempt by the knesset to create the greater jerusalem but it seems that his power is weakening in washington and mike pence the vice president who is in avenger a local right wing christian from from the bible belt area is the vice president is getting gaining power and i think it's trying to balance a different streams within the u.s. government but as you said it really doesn't help him much there than with his his base is that we can as you see it what's holding him bac

some of the best known simple passages in the new testament or the christian bible say you cannot serve both god and wealth and in matthew 25, in as much as you did it to the least of these, you did it unto me. but this focus on the least among us is not new to the so-called new testament. it is deeply rooted in tora and the christian values that underlies all of christian value. the prof eshes -- in diutronomy, it teaches you should open your hand to the poor in meeting the neighbor in your land. last, it seems to me that while the bible, the new testament, and the tora teach these things about god's deep preference that we would be kind to one another, care for one another, support those around us, that doesn't lead to one party's position or another, it doesn't lead to one clear economic theory or policy than another, but it does say that before we take dramatic action that will a vote the ground for a generation that i believe will inevitably thread a -- to a loss of security, stability and opportunity for those in need in our country, we should have reflected. we should have listen

his church, but clear evidence that peter came to rome to lay the foundations of the christian church is not in the bible. now can scientific testing of peter's relics reveal new truths about the life of the first disciple, his role in the christian church in rome, and help tell us if the bones discovered beneath st. peter's basilica are really his? the gospels tell us peter is a fisherman on the sea of galilee. >> he's one of the few aposles that we have hints about his home life. so we know he's married. he has a mother-in-law who he might be financially responsible for. according to some traditions, he also has children. >> he's a big guy. he's doing lots of physical work. you have to be strong to be a fisherman. >> i see peter as the every man. here is someone who is probably illiterate, who is probably limited in terms of his experience, you know, only a fisherman and who has to follow this carpenter who he's probably never seen before. jesus asked peter to follow him and it says in the gospels, peter dropped everything to follow him so it's a complete commitment. >> according to the gospels, peter

christianity here? nearly 2,000 years ago. in the biblethe resurrected jesus leaves his disciples with a final mission. >> go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit. >> while an apostle needs to be sent and christ commissions them to go to the ends of the earth to proclaim the good news, to proclaim his resurrection and it's a lifetime mission and some did go to the ends of the earth to do so. >> but there's little in the act of the apostles about what happens next. >> the acts of the apostles is badly misnamed. most of the 12 disappear off the landscape of early christianity once we get past the gospels. >> thomas simply vanishes from the pages of the new testament. >> but there is another account of the life of thomas that picks up where the bible narrative stops. dr. nicola lewis has come to the british library where there's a rare copy of an ancient book. "the acts of thomas." >> the text is written in syriac, and that is significant because it's very closely re

jews stand behind the state of israel more staunchly then event jellicoe christians support grounded in their reading of the bible especially those passages regarding jerusalem christianity's holiest city it's fitting that it should be the capital of israel again as it was many many years ago and has been in the hearts of the jews for millennia some avenger even believe jewish domination of jerusalem must be the prelude to the second coming of christ the messiah is the future of the prophetic vision of a new jerusalem where god will create a new heaven a new earth and a new jerusalem and he will inhabit his throne though many palestinians are christians to avenge jellicoe those who make up one quarter of the u.s. population place their faith in israel's promise to protect the pilgrimage to the holy places it's an untenable part of the christian faith and christians can't have access to an under jewish israeli control that's not guaranteed when there is a form of government in control of jerusalem. donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital has only reinforced his broad backing by of angelical

but that is your opinion ok and the same thing could be sad about the christian religion and we should go really deep into the bible it goes against gays and it goes against women's rights and all of that could be said about christian religion as well it's really about how you read religion but anyway ok so you've been saying that there is no such thing as moderate islam but at the same time. i know that in conference in italy in september you said that many individual muslims are moderates so are those moderate must truly cemetery on moderate islam who are those moderate muslims can you give me examples. well listen i make a distinction as i always have done between the ideology and the people and indeed there is no moderate islam there is no european this lama that kind of nonsense there's only one islam and that is the islam of the book the koran of the life of more helmet and that is the islam that we know and that unfortunately cannot and will never be changed is not extreme extreme extreme islam is a pretty innocent that means exactly the same on the other hand you have the people and i do believe the moderat

bible. throughout our history we were recognized as a christian nation. i believe president obama was right when he said we're not a christian nation, we were, but we're not anymore. but even the supreme court when it was a much more enlightened court, well after the civil war, back 30 years after the civil war was over, the supreme court looked at all of the evidence and declared in an opinion that the united states was founded as and is a christian nation. not that everybody has to be a christian here, they absolutely don't. and i would humbly submit that the only way any people can truly have freedom of religion is if they have a constitution that's founded on judeo christian principles that recognize that all true rights, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness -- don't have a right to happiness, but a right to pursue it -- those come from god. and the founders recognize that. it's a shame to hear people deceiving young people in school, teaching them that no the real founders were only deist they didn't believe in god. ben franklin being the leading

understand coming from our culture, being brought to the country as slaves, being taught about christianity and this biblerowing up in the bible belt, faith and god were so very, very important. yet there was one point things got so bad, that you attempted suicide. you cut your wrists. did you give up on god at that point? i was-- i-- i vaguely remember not wanting to go to hell because i was told-- there's so many things that are taught in the church. some-- most are right. a lot of them are wrong or misconstrued. but i remember just not-- if i could just die here, god. if he would just let me die, and be out of this, and i can come to heaven and be with you-- this, again, the thoughts of a child. yeah, it was-- there were really, really dark times. did you ever wonder at a point when the beatings went on week after week, month after month, year after year, that god may not help you, god may not save you? no. i never doubted. i never doubted because there was always a flash of light somewhere. what i mean by that, there was always something that said, "you're gonna be okay." i had to do a lot of work mys
