Questions Covered:

04:55 – The saints’ attempt to intercede for us in Rev. 6:9 seems to have failed. What other biblical evidence is there for intercession?
14:16 – How can you reconcile Rev. 22:9 with the practice of offering dulia to the saints?
23:28 – If the Eucharist is required for salvation, then why did Jesus tell the good thief he would be in paradise that day. Why was it good enough for him but not the rest of us?
31:13 – It doesn’t make sense because we don’t know which saints are in heaven and if we pray to one that isn’t there, does that mean we are praying to a demon? The saints pray for you.
36:56 – Religions are man made and are all imperfect in particular the Catholic Church?
46:33 – I don’t understand where annulments fit into scripture?
51:31 – What sin did Mary not have? What is a dark intellect?
