Questions Covered:
- 04:30 – “Jesus says in John 5:24 whoever believes in him has ‘eternal life.’ He states, “24 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. Isn’t that a promise of eternal security?”
- 16:55 – Mt. 12:38 seems to contradict what Catholicism teaches on how much time Jesus spent in hell.
- 20:16 – Why did the Church change so much in mass?
- 28:50 – Can angels get hurt?
- 32:27 – I think there is a contradiction between priests forgiving in persona Christi since they contribute nothing vs forgiving mortal sin.
- 46:04 – It seems as though we worship an arrogant God.
