Questions Covered:
- 07:11 – I have trouble with Marian dogmas because I believe they contradict the bible. The Assumption of Mary is never mentioned in scripture. How can Mary be sinless if the bible says that all have sinned and have fallen short.
- 18:15 – I’m going to leave Orthodoxy for either High Church Anglican or Catholicism. What advice do you have for me?
- 28:40 – I’ve studied Catholicism as a Protestant for years now. Does the Holy Spirit leave you when you commit a mortal sin and get the Holy Spirit back when you repent?
- 40:32 – I grew up protestant and was taught that worshipping idols is wrong. Praying to the dead seems wrong.

| 1:11.9 | Yeah, absolutely. |
| 1:12.8 | I agree 100% precisely because our Lord taught us so in his high priestly prayer in John 17. |
