Summary

Questions Covered: 02:29 – I attend a protestant bible study often and in the coming weeks we’re getting to John 20. What are some common Protestant arguments for it and how can I respond to them? 11:52 – Something Jimmy quotes in The Fathers Know Best on St Ignatius’ letter to the Smyrnaeans is that some people abstain from the Eucharist because they don’t believe it’s the flesh. Since this is in the short version and there is a longer version, how do we know which versions of these early Christian writings are reliable or if any of them are? 21:04 – A fellow parishioner said the Devil must have been surprised at the resurrection. Of course, Satan knew Jesus was the son of God but how can I point him in the right direction? 29:47 – Can you explain how you know Jesus and God exist without making any biblical references? I have adult children who were raised Catholic, left the faith, and nothing I say works to convince them of the existence of Jesus and God. 36:16 – Can a Catholic who married in the Baptist church, and got divorced, then get married in the Catholic Church? 41:56 – Is it possible to know the existence of angels through natural reasons alone?

0:00.0	Welcome back to Cappagance's Live. I'm Cikell at your host. Been out for a few days,
0:20.5	so happy to be back. It's always nice to come back and it's Jimmy here and we're doing
0:23.9	Open Forum. That's a fun show. It's always a fun show and it has been thus far if you'd
0:28.6	like to get involved by asking a question. You're welcome to call 888-318-7884. Don't worry
0:35.4	though, there's never a shortage of calls on these days when Jimmy's here, so you can also
0:40.0	just relax and enjoy the calls that come in. Jimmy, I can see your apologists here at
0:45.2	Catholic Answers and the author of the Bible is a Catholic book and many other things and
0:49.5	the proprietor of Jimmy Acres of the Serious World, which are you still doing big numbers
0:53.3	over there at Jimmy Acres of the Serious World, still growing up. Oh yeah, that's great.
0:58.1	Yeah, we have typically more than 100,000 listeners per episode and we continue to be in
1:08.1	the top 20 documentary podcasts in the U.S. on Apple Podcasts. We often are peaking
1:13.5	around number 8. So during the course of the week, we'll typically, when we release the
1:19.9	new episode, typically that day or the day after, we'll jump up to the number 8 documentary
1:24.0	podcast in the U.S. Those are big numbers, Jimmy. Congratulations on that. That's really
1:29.4	fantastic. Thank you. I'm sure that has taken a lot of work, but man, people love it. It's
1:35.6	not like you're like National Public Radio either with a staff of dozens to produce this
1:41.5	thing. What is your staff? Maybe just a 10 or a 10? Oh, less than that. I mean, I write
1:47.9	the scripts, and so I've got to bang out about a 30-page script every week in my free time.
1:52.2	Oh, I'm slow. In addition to researching it, and then Dominican Betnelli and I record it,
1:58.8	and then we have a couple, we have a husband and a wife team that does the video editing,
2:04.3	and that's it. That's unheard of to get those kind of numbers with that kind of staff.
2:12.1	Well, that's good for you, Jimmy. It's a mysterious world. The number here is 888-318-8
