In this live stream, I tackle the following questions:
00:44 How close are Catholic and Protestant views on justification?
04:08 Why would one want to pray to Mary?
05:20 Could “I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it” apply to the Protestant Reformation keeping the Faith alive?
09:25 Does belief in the Real Presence mean a form of Fundamentalism?
14:06 Does the fact the universe is expanding faster undermine the argument for God’s existence based on the Big Bang?
23:41 Are natural disasters due to original sin?
28:38 What should we make of the fact many Old Testament figures were polygamous?
31:39 Does European church art “cover up” the fact Jesus and other biblical figures were Middle Eastern?
37:48 Is embryo adoption ever legitimate?
40:08 Does John 5:18 show that Jesus broke the sabbath?
44:08 How should we respond to claims that the Resurrection of Jesus is based on pagan myths?
00:44 As far as the East is from the West.
Please amplify.
It is very clever! Maybe less so if I explain it. See, it has a double meaning.
Psalm 103:12 is a most excellent definition of justification.
As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
If you disagree, then maybe our views of justification are as close the east is from the west.
“Maybe less so if I explain it.”
Please do; so far, you haven’t.
If you agree He removed our transgressions as far as the east is from the west, then I would not worry about it. Please carry on.
