Secret Identities in the Gospel of Mark! (And More! Live stream)

In this live stream, I tackle the following questions:

00:01 Why does the Gospel of Mark contain references to people whose identities are mysteriously concealed? Why does Jesus give his disciples unusual commands that let people have plausible deniability? What do we know about the people involved?

18:41 Who was the young man who ran away naked? (It probably wasn’t Mark!)

32:32 How to answer people who say the Gospels were written far too many years after Jesus to be reliable?

36:21 If the earth is 6000 years old, how can we justify dinosaurs?

44:24 Did Jesus mean it literally when he advised the disciples to buy swords? Can we use weapons in self-defense?

46:42 Why do Catholics allow baptism by pouring when some other Christians insist on immersion?

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth.
