Mondays and Wednesdays, we talk apologetics and theology, and on Friday, we talk apologetics and theology when I want to, because that's the rule of free-for-all Friday.

0:08.3

We talk about whatever I want to talk about.

0:10.2

On Monday, I gave arguments for why Jewish people should consider Jesus Christ to be the Messiah and the Catholic Church to be the fullness, the fulfillment of Judaism.

0:20.1

So, you know, the old covenant has now become the

0:22.2

universal new covenant for all people. So I talked about that on Monday. I alluded a little bit

0:28.5

in that episode to how anti-Semitism can be a barrier for Jewish people who are considering

0:36.0

converting to Catholicism.

0:37.9

So in today's episode, I want to share with you a talk that I gave at the Philos conference a few months ago, I think, at this point.

1:31.1

being paid off by some special interests out to get the church or something like that. I was not

1:37.1

paid for this talk, by the way. I just went and participated in the conference and wanted to share.

1:42.2

1:44.7

hearing this talk. And if you go look online, look at Philos conference, anti-Semitism, you can

1:49.4

watch the whole thing. I was involved in a panel discussion. I think you'll find it very interesting.
