Would-Be Assassin Cole Allen's Manifesto, Ireland Prosecutes Pastor, & Codex X: Lost Bible Pages

About this episode

The episode discusses Cole Allen's manifesto, a pastor's prosecution in Northern Ireland, and the discovery of lost Bible pages.

In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate breaks down the chilling "federal assassin" manifesto released by White House Correspondents’ Dinner gunman Cole Allen. We examine the disturbing intersection of his anti-Trump rhetoric and his claims regarding the Christian faith. Then, we head to Northern Ireland, where 76-year-old retired pastor Clive Johnston faces criminal charges for the "crime" of preaching John 3:16 near a hospital—is the Gospel now considered a "protest"? Finally, we dive into the monumental archaeological discovery at the University of Glasgow involving 42 lost pages of the New Testament (Codex H) and the resurfacing of the Archimedes Palimpsest. 📚 Resources & Links The Manifesto: Full Cole Allen Anti-Trump Manifesto (NY Post) Preaching Charges: Pastor Clive Johnston Prosecuted for John 3:16 (Fox News) Codex H Discovery: 42 Lost Pages of St. Paul’s Letters Found (University of Glasgow) The Palimpsest: Lost Page of Archimedes Rediscovered in France 🕒 Timestamps0:00 - Introduction with host Nate 0:11 - Cole Allen: The "Friendly Federal Assassin" & The WHCD Shooting 9:42 - Analyzing the Cole Allen Manifesto: Anti-Trump vs. Faith Claims…
