Summary

Questions Covered: 03:21 – 1 Sam 18:10 says “an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul.” How are we supposed to interpret that when nothing evil can come from God? 10:06 – Can you help me understand in what sense Jesus is God? How can a thing have two natures? Is it the same way the Burning Bush, or the Eucharist, is God? 19:39 – What are the reasons a person might hear voices? 28:55 – My spiritual director has been cautioning me against treating novenas and relics like magic. But in last Sunday’s gospel we hear of the woman who was healed because she believed if she touched Jesus’ clothes she would be healed. How can one have that kind of faith without treating it like magic? 38:05 – Does Matthew quote the Septuagint? 45:50 – What’s the difference between black magic and white magic? 48:42 – I had an experience in early youth that led to my conversion later in life.

0:00.0	And Welcome back to Catholic Answers Live. My name is Edgar Lujano,
0:19.0	producer for Catholic Answers Live and filling in for Cy Kelle.
0:23.0	Today, the second hour, we are with Jimmy Aiken,
0:27.4	senior apologist here at Catholic Answers,
0:29.5	and also, as you know, the host of Jimmy Aiken's mysterious world. Jimmy welcome to the show.
0:36.3	Hey, very glad to be back. It's good to have you here and it's not a Thursday so I can't say
0:40.9	what's up tomorrow but I can't ask what's going on on Friday
0:44.6	when Jimmy's mysterious world.
0:46.6	Well, on Friday we're going to be beginning a series and occasional series where we're going to look at so-called lost scriptures.
0:55.5	These are things that are not in the Bible, but that in the past at least some people thought that they were
1:02.4	scripture. And we're going to kick off the
1:05.4	series by looking at a work of Second Temple Jewish literature called the
1:11.0	Book of Jubilee's and it's essentially a rewritten
1:15.3	version of Genesis and part of Exodus and it has some very interesting connections
1:20.9	with the New Testament. It also fills out a bunch of things that are not in
1:26.6	Genesis that you might wonder about, like who were those mysterious Sons of God from Genesis
1:31.7	6 that gave birth to the Nephilim and what were the names of
1:35.8	Adam's daughters? You know, we hear about their sons or at least some of their sons but
1:40.9	we don't hear about their daughters and what were the names of the wives of Noah's sons and what was
1:46.9	Noah's wife's name and things like that so it fills in a lot of interest in detail.
1:51.3	Interesting I didn't realize that we had some of that
1:53.3	information written somewhere all right good to know. Yeah well it's not like I said it's
