Were Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea Actually Saved? The Shocking Truth Behind Jesus' Burial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Jesus was arrested, condemned, crucified, and buried, His most visible followers had scattered. Yet two unexpected men stepped forward to care for His body: Joseph of Arimathea , a wealthy and respected member of the Jewish council, and Nicodemus , the Pharisee who first came to Jesus under cover of night. But were these men truly saved? Were they genuine followers of Jesus Christ—or were they religious leaders who admired Jesus without ever experiencing the new birth He described in John 3

Is Barnabas the strongest independent candidate? What roles might Clement of Rome or Silas ha
Who Decided What's In Your Bible? (And Were They Right?) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How did 27 specific books end up in your New Testament out of hundreds of early Christian writings—and how can you be confident the church didn't just invent the Bible? In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast , J. Warner Wallace applies his cold case detective experience to the canon of Scripture, tackling questions like: Who actually decided what's in your Bible—and on what basis?
