Are you afraid to even open the Book of Revelation because of the images and symbols in it? Listen to this episode as Catholic Answers staff apologist, JIMMY AKIN, guides us to understanding one of the Bible's most mysterious book.

Jimmy is author of several books including, "The Drama of Salvation", "The Fathers Know Best", "Mass Revision", and many more. He’s the host of a popular podcast called Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World, and a regular in Catholic Answers Live.

BERNZ O. CAASI is a former anti-Catholic Protestant, the founder of Unboxing Catholicism, the fastest growing apologetics community in the Philippines.

In this episode, we talked about who wrote the Book of Revelation, if John the Revelator is the apostle John, who is the original audience and what is God's message to them, the dating of the book, and the symbols from the book, like the four horsemen, the Whore of Babylon, the Beast of Revelation and more.

Are you curious to know the experience of a transwoman? VINS SANTIAGO will walk us through his life to take a glimpse of what it's like.

Kuya Vins is now a Christian pastor. He is the first transgender in the Philippines to undergo the so-called sex reassignment surgery in the country. His story has been told in different media including the top TV show "Maalaala Mo Kaya" where he was portrayed by the late Fanny Serano. His story is also told in the book Transformed: Mula sa Pagiging Transwoman.

We talked about his childhood, his relationship with his family, being bullied in school as a "bakla" in the 60's, what brought him to Japan to work in bars as a "performer", his eventual "sex reassignment surgery", what's the effect of the surgery physically and mentally. Of course, we talked about his 180-degree turn to Christ to live the life according to the Gospel. We can learn a lot of things from his story. The first one is to listen (according to our friend Jason Evert).

It's THE COMMENT SECTION once again! Nabasa ko ba ang comment mo? Makinig para malaman! This week, ang mga posts na binasahan natin comments include these:

"Medyo tumatanda ka na kung ang choice mo ng pambahay ay puting t-shirt na plain."

"Si Ultraman ang superhero na madaling ma-lowbatt. Ilang minutong labanan lang kumikislap-kislap na 'yung ilaw sa dibdib niya. Kung ako sa halimaw na kalaban niya, ilag ilag lang ako hanggang sa tuluyan nang ma-drain ang batt ni Ultraman. Hindi naman siguro mahirap gawin 'yun."

"Bakit 'pag may karga kang baby, hindi mo maiwasang sumayaw? Subukan niyo."

Iyan at marami pang iba in this week's THE JAY ARUGA SHOW.

Siyempre, aawardan din natin ang Basher of the Month. Sino kaya ang mapapatawan natin ng prestihiyosong parangal na ito?

Ano ang mali sa Pride? Bakit ba ito tinawag na most deadly sin? Makinig sa episode na ito dahil iyan mismo ang ating topic.

Two weeks ago ay naglabas ng commercial ang McDo kung saan depicted ang lesbian couple. Nagtawag ako ng #boycottMcdo that week. Over ba? I'll explain in this episode why a boycott is called for. Also in this episode, we read quotes from C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity on the sin of Pride. Masama bang maging proud sa anak mong High Honors? Masama bang maging proud of being Pinoy? Ano ang kinaiba nito sa LGBTQ+ Pride Month? Lahat ng iyan ay ating sasagutin sa THE JAY ARUGA SHOW: Protecting the Filipino Family from Woke Ideology.
