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?
