| 54: Why Baptism SAVES us (It's NOT Just a Symbol) | 16 janv. 2024 | 01:33:03 | |
In this episode of the pod, Jack and Nico discuss significant biblical passages on baptism to show that the "reformed" doctrine that baptism is "just a symbol of salvation already received through faith" is not found in Scripture. Instead, a careful textual analysis of the New Testament's baptismal references reveals that baptism SAVES us by truly washing away our sins and giving the gift of the Holy Spirit.

| 50: Deuterocanon Pt. 6 - Why The BOOK OF ENOCH is *Not* Scripture | 08 août 2023 | 00:45:53 | |
The Apostle Jude in the New Testament cites the Book of Enoch and the Assumption of Moses as "prophecy" and sacred history respectively. The author of Hebrews references the Ascension of Isaiah in chapter eleven's "hall of heroes." So... why aren't these 3 apocryphal works in the canon of Protestants or Catholics? How do we exclude them without being inconsistent? What was the way the early Christians settled this thorny question? What does it tell us about the true way to identify the canon of Scripture for Christians? Get 15% Off TAN Books using code "TRUTH" at checkout: https://tanbooks.com/?rfsn=7031065.cf6efa1 | |||
| 49: Deuterocanon Pt. 5 - "Cessation of Prophecy" Theory DEBUNKED | 01 août 2023 | 01:10:22 | |
Did the Jews believe that ALL prophecy, inspiration, and divine Scripture COMPLETELY CEASED to be produced for 500 years before Christ? Today, Jack and Nico DEBUNK a common "slam-dunk" argument against the idea that any Jews couldn't have accepted the 7 Deutercanonical books as inspired, because it was allegedly "written too late" during a time when Jews believed that all inspired Scripture had long since ceased to be written.

| 48: Deuterocanon Pt. 4 - The "Apocrypha" in the NEW TESTAMENT!? | 25 juil. 2023 | 01:30:41 | |
Are there any places in the NT where a deuterocanonical book is cited, alluded to, or borrowed from? What does it mean if a sacred writer uses or builds his theology off a deuterocanonical book? How do you identify that? What do we make of the apocryphal texts that some passages of NT Scripture refer to that Catholics and Protestants agree are NOT in Scripture? Is being mentioned in the NT enough to prove inspiration? Get 15% Off TAN Books using code "TRUTH" at checkout: https://tanbooks.com/?rfsn=7031065.cf6efa1 | |||
| 47: Deuterocanon Pt. 3 - Every Patristic "Canon List Argument" REFUTED | 18 juil. 2023 | 01:35:58 | |
The early Christians overwhelmingly SUPPORTED the DIVINE INSPIRATION of the Deuterocanon! So why did they LEAVE OUT those books from their "canon lists?" Why did so many of these ancient theologians put these books in special categories like "secondary rank," "read in the churches," or "ecclesiastical books"? What did these categories mean? How was their understanding of "canon" different from ours today? Does this "cancel" out their own testimonies in favor of divine inspiration from their other writings?

Did Jews always agree on what was inspired Scripture? Was that question settled by the time of Jesus? What Scriptural evidence gives us a clue to competing Jewish views? When and why did the Jewish canon of Scripture "close?" Who "closed it?" Does it matter for Christians today?

Nathan Symeon, a married priest of the Eparchy of Phoenix, to discuss his conversion story, his discernment of his vocation to married priesthood, and why married priesthood and the celibate priesthood are complementary rather than contradictory realities.

| 18: How Reason Can Lead to God w/ Dr. Joshua Rasmussen | 29 mars 2022 | 01:11:15 | |
Is belief in God unreasonable and irrational? Or could reason actually lead us to the belief that not only does God exist, but also that He knows and loves me? The Catholic Church's Catechism teaches that "man's faculties (reason, etc.) make him capable of coming to a knowledge of the existence of a personal God." While belief in God as three Persons in one is a matter of faith, the knowledge of a personal God has been proclaimed by the Church as something which can come about through the light of pure reason. On today's episode of the podcast, I am joined by a world renowned philosopher, Dr. Josh Rasmussen, to discuss his book "How Reason Can Lead to God."

Did you know Catholics believe that at every mass, when we celebrate Holy Communion, the bread and wine become Jesus' Body and Blood? Why do we believe this? Where is the biblical, historical and scientific evidence? On today's episode of "What Is Truth?" I sit down with Fr. George Elliott to discuss his book "Behold It Is I: Scripture, Tradition, and Science on the Real Presence." We look at the biblical evidence for the Catholic view of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) beginning in the Old Testament all the way through the New. We then discuss how the witness of the earliest Christian teachers show the Church believed the Eucharist to be Jesus' Body and Blood. We end the episode by looking at the case of a Eucharistic Miracle from Buenos Aires to see what science might have to say about this Catholic doctrine. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

On today's episode, I sit down with the Vocations Director for the Nashville Dominicans, Sr. Mara Grace O.P., to answer these questions. We also talk about a wide range of topics, such as the origins of religious orders in the Catholic Church, the differences between the various religious orders, why celibacy is about more than just free time, and why the Church Jesus Christ established would have to have an active celibate life.
