Today, Bishop Bryan Ouellette offers some insight into what a Christian's role should be regarding the upcoming, and very controversial, presidential election. He will look at the primary issues involved (abortion and health care) and discuss how Christians should approach them. He will also discuss what role prayer plays in this process, including how much God involves himself in the affairs of men.

On this new series of Vestiges of Christianity, Bishop Bryan Ouellette takes questions he receives from the audience through email/social media and answers them on the air. Using both a theological and mystical framework, Bishop Bryan provides compelling answers to your challenging inquiries.

This edition will be be tackling the following two questions:

1. Will the Devil ever be completely destroyed?

2. Should Christian teenagers have boyfriends/girlfriends?

After having discovered that some Roman Catholic institutions are teaching that angels are without free will and by request from the audience, Bishop Bryan sheds light on the subject of angels. What is an angel exactly? Do they share our ability to make decisions or are they bound so closely to the Will of God that they are without freedom? On this episode of Vestiges of Christianity, we will not only discuss what the conventional theology teaches us about this subject, but we will also take it further into a metaphysical explanation for what angels are in truth and in nature.

On this final segment of this "Who is Satan" series, Bishop Bryan provides his final contention that ultimately answers this very question. We have seen how the conventional theology rectifies the many problems of Satan's fundamental identity. We have also explored the more enlightened esoteric/mystical considerations. Now we draft our response to the ancient question of Who Satan is and where he came from.

Last time Bishop Bryan introduced you to the problematic translations that gave rise to both Jesus and Satan being referred to under the same Biblical reference (i.e., satan {Hebrew for accuser} lucifer {Latin for Morning Star/Light-bearer} with the lower cases intentional). On Part 2, he will discuss the theological, esoteric, and mystical implications of this seemingly benign issue of semantics. Is the traditional interpretation correct? Is this just a play on Satan wanting to be worshiped like God? Is it simply an awkward translation problem? Or is there something deeper at work that only a reference to Hindu emanations can clarify? Find out!

Christians all over the world think they understand the concept of the devil. Modern theology seems to present a straightforward position on Satan, often represented as Lucifer, the fallen angel. Yet, few truly understand how the ancient Jewish world-view approached the concept of Satan. In fact, Orthodox Christian theology presents us with a disturbing notion, that Christ and Satan may very well be two sides of the same Divine emanation, not unlike the Hindu concept of Shiva and his consort Kali! Is this heresy? Or just an example of how little modern Christians understand about their own theology?

Prepare yourselves. Bishop Bryan is about to shake up your Christian paradigm forever.

Bishop Bryan discusses both the conventional and esoteric views on the nature of the Holy Trinity. Who is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? How do they relate to each other? Can Hinduism and Gnosticism shed some light on the nature of this Christian reality? Find out on today's episode of Vestiges of Christianity.

It is unfortunate that so many Christians equate salvation with eternal life, paradise in heaven, and an end to suffering, but fail to see salvation's true purpose, which is absolute intimacy with God. On this edition of Vestiges of Christianity, Bishop Bryan Ouellette will discuss what salvation really means. Is Eternal Life a reward for a life well-lived or is it merely a consequence of entering into a perfect union with God?
