Can Protestants prove verbal inspiration from Scripture alone? In this episode, I examine the biblical case for the Protestant claim that apostolic authorship guarantees verbal inspiration—and argue that the case ultimately falls short without appealing to Sacred Tradition.

f the unborn is a human being from conception, can it still fail to be a human person? In this episode, I go beyond intuition and show—philosophically—why every human being, at every stage of development, is a human person with a right to life.

Believers in the Real Presence argue that in John chapter 6, Jesus clearly intends his audience to take him literally when he commands to “eat his flesh” and “drink his blood.” In other words, this isn’t poetic imagery, this isn’t figurative speech, and this isn’t Jesus speaking in metaphors the way he sometimes does elsewhere. The claim is that Jesus really means what he says here.  

 

But some Protestants push back and say, “Hold on—you Catholics (or any believer in the Real Presence for that matter) aren’t being consistent.” After all, in the very same Gospel of John, Jes...

One of the big issues that divides Catholics and some Protestants is how we understand justification. Catholics believe we stand just before God on account of an interior state of holiness—called sanctification—that God brings about within us. Protestants of the Reformed Tradition, however, deny this teaching and argue that we are just before God solely because he declares us just on account of account of the imputed righteousness of Christ.

Jesus says in John 5:24 that those who believe already have eternal life. Does that mean once we're saved, we're always saved? In this episode, I explain why that conclusion doesn’t follow and how understanding what Jesus means by “eternal life” helps clarify the issue.

Karlo Broussard responds to James White’s claim that the oral traditions in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 were a closed body of revelation identical to Scripture.

 If God created everything and evil exists, does that mean God created evil? In this episode, I unpack at least one version of the problem of evil and show how understanding evil as a privation resolves the apparent conflict with God’s goodness and creative power.

 

 

If God is the Creator of everything—as classical theists claim—and evil exists…then doesn’t that make God the creator of evil too?

 

And if that’s true, then God wouldn’t be all-good.

At first glance, that sounds like a serious problem for theism.

But is it really? Stick around, because I think there’s a way...

Is the tradition in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 more than the written gospel? Karlo Broussard answers James White’s objections to Sacred Tradition.

Do Catholics misread James 2:24 when it says we’re “justified by works and not by faith alone”? In this episode, Karlo Broussard examines arguments from R. C. Sproul and show why James’s teaching about Abraham actually fits the Catholic understanding of justification.

Could a worldview that praises science actually destroy the foundations of science? In this episode, Karlo Broussard explains why scientism—the belief that science is the only source of real knowledge—ends up undermining rational inquiry, the human mind, and even science itself.
