Episode 25 - Claims of Roman Catholicism (5)

Let's talk about "tradition." It is held by Catholics that their traditions are equal to and sometimes superior to the New Testament. Does 2 Thessalonians 2:15 "prove" the Catholic faith? Give a listen!

Episode 24 - Claims of Roman Catholicism (4)

In this episode I examine the claim of the primacy of Peter. In Roman Catholic tradition, this is one of the biggest links in the chain. How strong is that link? Give a listen!

Episode 23 - Claims of Roman Catholicism (3)

A discussion of Matthew 18:15-18. It is alleged that this passage gives the Catholic church authority to "make doctrines" and to "excommunicate" people from the church. Is that what Jesus was saying?

A correction. I mention 2 Timothy 3:6-15. It should be 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15.

Episode 22 - Claims of Roman Catholicism (2)

A continued discussion about a YouTube video. The video is presented from the Catholic perspective of using the Bible to "prove" the Catholic church. This episode discusses 1 Peter 3:21. Does it "prove" Roman Catholicism? Give a listen!

Episode 21 - Claims of Roman Catholicism (1)

A friend of mine sent me a link to a YouTube video that discusses ten verses that "prove" the Catholic church. In the next several episodes we'll consider what was said in that video and compare it with the Bible. This episode will deal with Matthew 28:19-20. Does it "prove" Catholicism? Give a listen!

Episode 20 - Hard to Understand - Revelation 20:4-6

This passage in the Bible is often cited to "prove" that Jesus, some time in the future, is going to return to earth and reign in Jerusalem for 1,000 years. Is that what these three verses teach? Give a listen!

Episode 19 - Hard to Understand - Matthew 24

This is a discussion about the chapters (Matt. 24; Mk. 13; Lk. 21) that record Jesus' teaching on the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. Some use these chapters to teach that Jesus returned in AD 70 and is not coming back in our future. Is that what is being taught? Give it a listen!

Episode 18 - Hard to Understand - Psalm 51:5

This is a discussion of a passage that has often been used to teach that man is born with a "sinful nature." Is that what David was saying? Are there other Bible passages that address sin and man's relation to it? Give it a listen!

Episode 17 - Hard to Understand - 1 Corinthians 13:8-10

In the Sep/Oct 2018 of FCGN, Dan Cates wrote an article discussing the "complete" from 1 Corinthians 13:10. There are three primary views of this: (1) the complete is heaven, (2) the complete is when Jesus returns, and (3) the complete is the full revelation of God's will that, at one time, was being confirmed by the miraculous signs. Give it a listen...

Episode 16 - Hard to Understand - Romans 8:18-25

This discussion comes from the Sep/Oct 2018 edition of Fulton County Gospel News (FCGN). This particular section of Scripture has caused a lot of debate over the years. Give a listen and see what you think!
