Mammoth Spring church of Christ

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!

Episode 15 - Hard to Understand - Mark 16:16

This episode is based on an article written by BJ Clarke in 1996. It asks a question that many have asked over the years and gives a powerful and succinct answer to those who deny the necessity of baptism for salvation.

Episode 14 - Hard to Understand - Romans 10:9-10

This episode is from an article written in the July/August 2018 edition of FCGN. The article was written by Jonathan Burns and is a good explanation of Romans 10:9-10.

Episode 13 - Hard to Understand - Jeremiah 29:11

In 2018, FCGN covered a variety of biblical texts that are sometimes considered "more difficult" to understand than others. We'll start with Jeremiah 29:11.

Episode 12 - The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth

A discussion of Matthew 5:5 in light of its context, which can be found in Psalm 37. Some have used Matthew 5:5 to say that heaven will be on a renovated earth and that heaven will not be "in heaven." Do we look at things which can be seen or things that cannot be seen?
