Sound Theology and Discernment with Justin Peters
Bobby Conner Claims He Saw Jesus at the Cross
Justin Peters examines an extraordinary supernatural claim and explains why Christians must test every teacher and spiritual experience by Scripture.
Show Summary
Bobby Conner claims that he was supernaturally transported back two thousand years to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where he watched Christ carry His cross and made eye contact with Him. In this episode of Sound Theology and Discernment, Justin Peters examines this disturbing claim and explains why it is not merely sensational but blasphemous and spiritually dangerous.
Justin also addresses Conner’s claim that he spoke a squirrel into existence, the ministries and churches that have platformed him, and the lack of biblical discernment demonstrated by those who accept such stories without testing them according to God’s Word.
This episode offers a sobering warning about false teachers, extraordinary spiritual claims, and the difference between intellectually knowing gospel language and being genuinely transformed by the gospel. Justin concludes with a direct call for Bobby Conner to repent, abandon his false ministry, and trust in the true Christ revealed in Scripture.

Testing Extraordinary Claims by Scripture
Christians are not called to accept a teacher’s testimony merely because it sounds supernatural, dramatic, or spiritually impressive. Every vision, prophecy, experience, and doctrinal claim must be tested by the sufficient and authoritative Word of God.
Extraordinary stories do not establish spiritual authority. Scripture alone provides the standard by which Christians evaluate teachers and their claims. Believers must reject teaching that contradicts God’s Word and remain anchored in the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
