Pat continues to discuss the origins of the Book we call The Bible. Today we move forward in history to the time of Jesus and discuss languages, Jewish canons, and the state of affairs of the Middle East in that time frame.

Pat continues talking about where the Bible came from, slowly walking toward answering the question of figuring out where the Canon came from. This episode features Silas the Great and Hellenization.

A brief look at near eastern ancient history, the kingdoms and Judah and Israel, their conquering, and when portions of the Biblical books were written down.

Pat takes a crack at a very good question - where did the Bible come from which includes the original question - how did we figure out what books are supposed to be in the Bible. Also called the Cannon of Scripture.

Can aliens be saved or become Catholic and other related questions.

Pat discusses the Mind and the Brain and why he chose I Think Therefore I Am as a starting place for his discussion about why he believes in God

Pat discusses the answer to the question - Why Can’t Women be Priests?

Does the Catholic Church teach predestination? Yes and no. It depends on what you mean by predestination. If you mean that God assigns to people to Hell as part of His will then No. If you mean that God, in the Eternal now, on viewing our cooperation with His will gives us the Grace to preserver to the end, then Yes. But remember, God does not exists in time.

Pat concludes his discussion about why he believes in God. We move from our foundation to further describe the force or forces that we’ve establish knowledge of and now we look at some of the last qualities we need to round out our definition. Omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immaterial, unchanging, and finally One.

Pat continues his discussion about why he believes in God. Given the four blocks we now stand on, what can we determine about the extra-universal force or forces that we know of.
