  • #228 Do Catholics = Pharisees? - Jimmy Akin
    If anyone can be said to be the villain of the Gospels, it’s the Pharisees. Sometimes fellow Christians will label Catholics as Pharisees. So, who were they? Where did they come from? And what should we make of their interactions with Jesus?

  • #225 Why Protestant Arguments for Sola Scriptura Fail - Karlo Broussard

  • #224 Can We Know We’re Going to Heaven? - Karlo Broussard

assurance that we’re going to heaven if the Bible says that we can? How can the Catholic Church teach that it’s possible for us to lose our salvation when Jesus says that no one can snatch us out of his hand?
    Can we know for sure that we’re going to heaven? Coming up next with Karlo Broussard.

  • #223 What Does the Bible Say About the Proper Way to Baptize? - Karlo Broussard
