Does the Bible really contradict itself? Pastors take on viral TikTok theology



In a day where TikTok theology is wracking up millions of views, it’s more important than ever for Christians to know what the Bible actually says.

On this episode of “Live Free,” Josh Howerton’s co-hosts and fellow pastors Paul Cunningham and Carlos Erazo address a viral TikTok video, in which the creator claims the Bible has several contradictions.

“The Bible says that God is all-knowing. Psalm 147:5 says that His understanding is infinite. First John 3:20 says that God knows all things. Matthew 10:30 says that He knows the number of hairs on our heads,” the video creator began.

“But in Genesis 18, God says He's going to go down to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to know how sinful they're being. An all-knowing God would know that. He wouldn't have to go down there. Also, an all-present God would already be there,” he argued.

In his second claim, he argued that the empty story was inconsistent across the gospels: “In the books of Matthew and Luke in the Resurrection story, it says that the women who discovered the empty tomb ran off and told everyone that the tomb was empty. But in the book of Mark, it says that the women were afraid and didn't tell anyone.”

The creator’s final claim aimed to debunk the Bible’s definition of love: “And then of course there's the whole God is love, but then it also says that love is patient and kind, never jealous or boast. But then it says that God is a jealous God. So how could God be love if love isn't jealous?”

Cunningham begins by addressing the TikTok creator’s claim about love and jealousy, pointing to the semantics of the word “jealous.”

“The same word can be used in certain ways in certain contexts that would be appropriate and in other ways that would be inappropriate,” he says.

He gives the example of a husband being jealous regarding his wife. “I should not be jealous if my wife were simply to say hello to a male co-worker, but I actually should be jealous if my wife slept with that male co-worker,” he explains.

“The reason I give that analogy is that usually when it says God is jealous in the Bible, it's in relationship to His people, Israel, and it talks about in context that they are His bride and they are giving love to a different god or a different thing that only belongs to Him,” he adds.

Erazo then dives into the creator’s claim that an all-knowing God would not have to visit Sodom and Gomorrah to find out what the people were up to.

He gives the analogy of playing hide-and-seek with his 4-year-old son. “I'll say, ‘Where are you? I don't see you.’ I know where he is because I'm his father,” he says. “And so when God seems to be asking questions and when He seems to not know one thing, He knows.”

“A fancy phrase for that is called anthropomorphic language,” adds Cunningham. “God has to use language we can understand to help us understand a God we can't completely understand.”

Above all, Cunningham and Erazo want believers to not allow “seeming contradictions” to shake their faith.

“When you see videos like this, don't freak out if they bring up something you've never thought about because someone else has thought about it and probably given a really good answer for it,” says Cunningham.

‘Kinktober’ shows what happens when pornography becomes mainstream



It takes a lot to surprise me on TikTok. I go in expecting left-wing absurdity.

But recently I found a young woman in her 20s crying because she felt “overwhelmed” by the amount of content she would have to create for “Kinktober.” What’s that about?

Our country can’t get comfortable with sexually explicit content. It needs to be re-stigmatized, shamed, and kept from public life.

Kinktober is the sexually explicit offspring of Inktober, an online challenge that encourages artists and writers to create one themed work every day in October. Kinktober takes the same format and fills it with sexual prompts.

One 2026 prompt list circulating online includes bestiality, intoxication, age-gap sex, and a long list of fetishes too vile to publish here.

The strange part is not that adults have invented another sexual subculture. Humans hardly needed the internet for that. The strange part is how easily that subculture now spills onto mainstream platforms.

One woman posted a TikTok praising the Kinktober list as “great” and urging artists to get “freak nasty.” Another video showed a woman leaving college early to go “celebrate” Kinktober. Commenters chimed in enthusiastically.

Tumblr hosts sexual artwork and writing. Reddit users direct participants toward Archive of Our Own, the enormous fan-fiction site commonly known as AO3. Kinktober collections there contain thousands of works.

Kinktober is not the kind of thing that happens in a healthy society. It is the kind of thing that happens in a society that has glamorized sexual promiscuity and allowed the most aggressive, X-rated content to be available to anyone at the touch of a button.

Kinktober has emerged in a culture dominated by OnlyFans and PornHub. Oversexualization is nearly unavoidable. Stars like Sabrina Carpenter mimic sexually suggestive acts onstage. Bonnie Blue makes content about setting records for having sex with hundreds of men. Even Sydney Sweeney, who has largely been embraced by many on the right for standing up against Hollywood’s feminist agenda, has posed in highly sexual public ads.

In this cultural climate, Kinktober doesn’t seem as perverted as it is.

The consequences extend beyond adults who deliberately seek this material. A 2026 Common Sense Media survey of American teenagers ages 13 to 17 found that 74% had seen online pornography. More than half of those who had seen it first encountered it by age 12, including 12% who first saw it at age 10 or younger.

Young people do not need to walk into an adult store or lie about their age to an embarrassed clerk. Sexual content reaches them through phones, social media feeds, websites, and links.

Written erotica also deserves more attention than it gets. One study of 456 readers of erotic fiction found that 94% of respondents were women. That does not mean women universally consume erotica, of course. It does show that pornography does not come only in the visual form most people associate with men.

Kinktober packages that kind of material as a creative exercise. Write something every day. Draw something every day. Share it. Tag it. Find a community around it.

The internet is exceptionally good at turning private interests into communities and communities into identities. It also strips away much of the social friction that once separated an obscure fetish from ordinary public life.

That friction served a purpose.

Prior to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, it was unthinkable that a nearly endless library of sexual content could be available on platforms that rarely enforce age restrictions. Today, we are constantly being inundated with content that is increasingly grotesque.

Kinktober may currently be relegated to online spaces, but it probably won’t be for very long. The prompts it suggests, such as bestiality, age gap, and collars, are all slowly making their way into the mainstream.

Bestiality is slowly becoming destigmatized as furries are normalized, with furry conventions and gatherings growing in attendance each year. Age-gap relationships are being pushed by leftists who have tried to include pedophilia in the LGBT community under the guise of being “minor-attracted persons.” Even collars are being worn in public, along with chains and leatherware that is highly suggestive and inappropriate.

We need to realize that what happens online often makes its way into the real world. Internet trends are a primary source of American culture. Parents need to protect their children from websites like Tumblr, AO3, and TikTok, which promote challenges like Kinktober. Our country can’t get comfortable with sexually explicit content. It needs to be re-stigmatized, shamed, and kept from public life.

Glenn Beck: This viral family fight reveals what happens when politics becomes your identity



A viral TikTok showing a daughter berating her mother over her support for Donald Trump has struck a chord with Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck — but not because of the political disagreement itself.

Instead, Glenn sees something larger at play.

“You made a wrong decision,” the daughter yells in the video. “And if you apologize to me for taking away my rights and the rights of everybody who can relate to me on these videos, then we would be fine. I told you in that text when you apologize for what you’ve done to this whole country, what you’ve had a hand in doing — you had a hand in this.”

“You and your people did this to my country — to all of our countries,” she added.


“That is the problem. You think it’s your country and there’s my way or the highway,” her mother responded.

“Murder is wrong! Racism is wrong! You know, he was sued over seven times for not serving black people,” the daughter yelled. “What do you have to say? What do you have to say to that?”

The daughter then called her mother “racist” and “hateful.”

“If there’s not a man in the house, then she needs to say, ‘Get out of the house. ... You can have different opinions, but you are not going to speak to me that way in this house. Period,’” Glenn says.

“Show some respect. But we don’t do that any more. And the reason why is we’ve forgotten who we are. We’ve completely forgotten who we are. … We’ve lost our story as a nation; we’ve lost our story as a people,” he adds.

Glenn notes that this problem stems from people no longer knowing who they are.

“When you can actually be silent for 20 minutes and just be alone with your own thoughts, you’re comfortable with knowing who you are. But I don’t think most of us even know who we are any more or why we’re here or what life is really for,” he explains.

“We are beginning to think we’re all here for politics. We’re not here for politics, gang. We’re not. We’re not fighting politics. We are fighting the collective versus the individual,” he says. “And that is a God thing.”

Women Defending Lindsay Clancy Admit They’re Dangerous And Unaccountable

Now that the Lindsay Clancy case just ended in a mistrial and justice is, for the moment, suspended, it’s time to pay special attention to a certain kind of woman, a perfect example of which showed herself while Plymouth County, Massachusetts, District Attorney Timothy Cruz was talking to news media immediately after the trial judge […]

TikTok feminism: The left’s war on motherhood has reached a disturbing new low



Why would anyone cheer for a woman accused of killing her own children?

That’s the question on BlazeTV hosts Sara Gonzales' and Dave Landau’s minds as women across the country raise money for, post supportive TikToks of, and send letters to alleged child murderer Lindsay Clancy.

“Who cheers for an [alleged] child killer?” Dave asks.

“Like her lawyer said that she has gotten enough letters to support three bankers' boxes,” he continues. “So it’s basically like 'Miracle on 34th Street,' letters to a woman who [allegedly] murdered her children.”

“This is fan mail,” Gonzales agrees. “This is not like a sternly worded letter to the manager telling her how terrible of a person she is.”


And Dave wants to know why.

“Some [women] are like, ‘Well, it’s hormonal, you don’t understand how hard it is.’ And you know, you’re a woman, what is this supposed to mean?” Dave asks.

“What it means is that we now have a culture that hates motherhood,” Gonzales answers. “These women, they have been struck by the feminist bug, and they just hate motherhood because there really is no defense to this.”

And it’s not just the letters to Clancy that bother Dave and Gonzales.

“We are living in this sort of TikTok generation of people getting their advice on how to be mentally sound through a dopamine hit-app run by China,” Dave says.

“Seems like a bad idea,” Gonzales says. “Seems like a really bad idea ... I just think that TikTok has made especially white liberal women, I just think it’s made them just worse people. It’s brain rot."

“They get one there. They, you know, like think that it’s cool now to hate motherhood. So now you’ve got all of these TikTokers that are going on and throwing ice in bathtubs to control their rage that they have at their children so that they won’t get in a screaming match with their toddlers. I kid you not,” Gonzales says, referencing a recent trend of women who have been filming themselves trying not to freak out at their kids by throwing ice cubes.

“And I’m just like, what is happening to us?” she asks.

“The only reason why you would get into a screaming match with your toddler is because you were at the same mental level with your toddler,” Dave says.

But this issue doesn’t begin with the Lindsay Clancy case or even postpartum.

“When you say that it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb, and then you say it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb up until the point of birth,” Gonzales says, “can you really be surprised that you find yourself in a place in society where now women are like, ‘OK, but not just up to birth. What about the first couple years?’”

If You Have Mixed Feelings About Lindsay Clancy’s Guilt, You’re Too Stupid And Broken To Be On TikTok

If TikTok is what's causing people to end up not just wrong about real crimes taking place, but to flat-out side with killers, those people cannot be trusted to look at TikTok.

BEYOND DISTURBING — abortion announcements: The new social media trend



Women on social media have been crossing lines left and right that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, and as BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales has noticed, it just keeps getting worse.

“Obviously, I have spoken out about the brain rot that takes place because of social media,” Gonzales says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” calling it a “double-edged sword.”

“Social media can be really great and used for really great things, and you know, you get to see the side of stories that the news, you know, the mainstream media doesn’t want to show you,” she says.

However, social media has also exposed the darker side of people.


“But then it also brings out this just like, you know, the TikTok girls who are throwing ice in their bathtubs because they want to be like Lindsay Clancy because they low-key just hate their kids,” she explains.

“Now, you have an entirely new unhinged level where people think it’s cute to make abortion announcements,” she adds, before showing a post from an Instagram user who goes by “Black Girl Chica.”

Chica posted a picture with an announcement that read, “Baby Cancelled. Due date was April 14, 2027.”

A onesie laid out next to the announcement read, “Mommy changed her mind, daddy wasn’t s**t.”

“The words fail me at this point. Words actually fail me. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there were people encouraging her in the comments,” Gonzales says.

“It ain’t never been smart to bring kids into a world of chaos. Good for you lol,” one user commented.

“Laugh out loud,” Gonzales mocks. “Ha, ha, ha. It’s so funny that you killed your own child.”

“The point is, we have just, in 2026, reached just total levels of depravity when it comes to women killing their own children. You’ve got Lindsay Clancy and the women who are just, you know, loving her, and then you have this,” she continues.

“We really need to rethink how we’re using social media and why,” she adds.

Why TikTok's astrology defense for Lindsay Clancy is against God's design



The Lindsay Clancy case has generated no shortage of online speculation, but a new theory gaining traction on TikTok may be among the strangest yet.

Rather than examining evidence presented in court, some social media users are using astrology and birth-chart readings to argue that Clancy's husband, Patrick, was actually responsible for the deaths of the couple's children.

“Women on TikTok are using astrology to argue that Patrick actually committed the killings. And they’re using divination. They’re using what they claim to be some connection with the divine and with the universe to try to prove their case,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey explains.

“So they’re using Lindsay and Patrick’s birth dates to create birth charts,” she says, noting that these women have “too much time.”


“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. That’s what’s going on here,” she adds, before playing clips of women arguing their case on TikTok.

“Patrick Clancy did it, and you will never convince me otherwise. His sun sign is at 24 degrees of Gemini. That is a violence degree. That’s a malevolence degree and a danger of accidents degree,” one TikTok user said.

“So to all the Patrick Clancy haters, I can validate for you that he was a jackass because he was cheating on Lindsay, and I confirmed it. This is his chart,” another one said.

One TikTok user even used Lindsay’s birth chart to claim that she “likely had a very deep need to protect, nurture, and provide safety to children, her own children, and vulnerable populations.”

“Astrology is not a scientific method. It’s not thoughtful. It has its roots in ancient pagan traditions. It’s a religious belief system that Christians should have absolutely no part in whatsoever,” Stuckey says.

“But this just goes to show social media, astrology, the New Age, conspiracy, true crime, toxic empathy, all of these things are coming together in this very, what I think is dangerous and disturbing combination of the American female psyche,” she continues.

Stuckey also notes that God warns against use of divination, necromancy, mediums, magic, fortune, fortune tellers, and tarot cards.

“That’s not where we’re supposed to be seeking wisdom,” she says, “because all of that makes us vulnerable, I think, to demonic influence."
