Everything comes from our heart ... our thoughts, words and deeds. Let's ask for a pure, clean, contrite and merciful heart!

As we near the end of the Lenten season, the Church invites us to consider the tremendous sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. This week, Gary looks at the Mass readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent. The message is clear - Jesus died so that you can live!

One of the objections that our Protestant friends give to the Deuterocanon, the 7 books that Catholic Bibles have and Protestants don't, is the cessation of prophecy. This is also known as the 400 years of silence between the time of Malachi and the New Testament. Gary walks us through to show the holes in this objection, and how the Deuterocanonical books show prophecy. He also discusses Jewish sources who also claim this.

What do we know about the Bible? How does the Catholic Church interpret it?

Questions Covered:

 

03:18 - What is the significance of Mary speaking in the Bible? 

07:38 - It seems like everything the man in Matthew 13:44 does is wrong. How can this be an edifying parable for us? How are we meant to understand it? 

17:22 - If Adam and Eve didn’t sin, would someone has eventually sinned, or would we all live in paradise?  

21:03 - Who put the bible together? 

23:51 - In 2 Kings 2:23-24, Elijah curses young children who tease him and prays that they’ll be mauled. What is the meaning of these verses? Is it teaching children to respect the prophets? 

32:02 - Why were the books of Esther and Daniel excluded from Protestant bibles? 

34:28 - Is there evidence in the bible for the Assumption of Mary? 

37:28 – Tell us what question about the Bible you wish someone would ask you, but no one ever has. I’m too shy to call. 

40:06 - Does the bible give evidence for not keeping the ashes of our loved ones? 

43:45 - Is there any biblical evidence for Christ’s wounds being healed after his resurrection? 

48:12 - Is there biblical passage about physicians praying for God to bless their work? I could swear that I read something like that in the Bible but can’t find it anywhere. 

49:30 - When Jesus fasted in the desert, did he eat nothing, or did he eat locusts and honey? 

52:22 - Did Adam and Even need to eat to live in Genesis or was it just for pleasure?

What do we know about the Bible? How does the Catholic Church interpret it?

Questions Covered:

 

04:13 - What is block logic and how can it be applied to the Bible? 

15:55 - What is your theory on why St. Luke never finished the Acts of the Apostles? 

20:56 - Is lying always wrong and is there evidence for that in the Bible? 

32:48 - When the Lord says, “What God has brought together, let no man set asunder,” did that apply to all marriages, even natural? 

37:50 - Why does the Jerusalem Bible use a singular version of John 1:13, while other translations use the plural?  

45:47 - I have heard that Catholics do not use dispensationalism. What do they use?

Our faith is often tested in order to expose whether or not we truly believe in Jesus and want to be like Him.
