Is Self-Defense a Sin? Revelation, Sabbath, and Bible Questions

Most Christians either fear Revelation, ignore it, or turn it into an end-times conspiracy map. But what if we’ve been reading it the wrong way all along? In this episode, Rowan Miller and Pastor Don Patterson tackle some of the hardest Bible questions Christians argue about: Is Revelation really a timeline of the future? Is self-defense sinful? Do Christians still have to keep the Sabbath? Why does the Bible seem harsh in some places and merciful in others? This conversation explores prophecy, persecution, biblical interpretation, grace, conscience, violence, Sabbath laws, and how Christians should approach difficult Scripture without panic or simplistic answers. Topics include: Revelation explained simply The “seven visions” framework The mark of the beast and modern fears Christian self-defense ethics Sabbath laws in the Old vs. New Testament Why many Bible debates become emotionally charged Question: What Bible topic do you think Christians misunderstand most?
