Episode 29 - The Christian and the Old Testament

In this episode I discuss the value of the 39 books of the OT. Some take the view that we don't really need to know the OT. Some think that the OT is "boring." Give a listen!

Episode 28 - The Gift Of...

This episode is a discussion of Acts 2:38 and "the gift of the Holy Spirit." There are three primary views within churches of Christ as to what exactly this phrase means. Give a listen and see what you think!

Episode 27 - About Calling on the Name of the Lord

The "sinner's prayer." I suppose most of us have heard that, in order to be saved, all you must do is "call on the name of the Lord" by saying a certain prayer and ask Jesus into your heart. Is that a Biblical concept? Give a listen!

Episode 26 - About Satan

This episode comes from a listener about Satan, his origin, and his function in the world. Give a listen!

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!
