Questions Covered:
- 05:45 – If Jesus’ death on the cross was sufficient to take away all sin, and all the punishment for sin, then why would anyone need to suffer for sins after death, like in purgatory? Wouldn’t purgatory be an insult to what Jesus already accomplished?
- 19:24 – I think Catholicism preaches a different Jesus and a different salvation. Specific issue about salvation on eternal security?
- 34:40 – Is the Eucharist the end all be all?
- 47:17 – Why can’t the soul in purgatory pray for themselves?
- 51:49 – Where does the practice of kneeling for communion come from and where did adoration come from?
