Summary
Episode 920 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.
Questions in this Episode
1. If Jesus is God, was his crucifixion a form of self-murder or suicide?
2. I am wondering how do I honor my parents when I have strong disagreements with my parents about their beliefs in conspiracy theories about the vaccine, political views that are more estreeme, as well as prosperity gospel-type beliefs. How do I honor them while disagreeing very strongly on these issues?
3. If God is all powerful, why does he allow evil and suffering?
4. Mary seems to put her faith in Jesus. Don't Catholics put their faith in Mary? The basis of Christianity is to put our faith in Jesus, and during Jesus's first miracle it seemed that she put her faith in her son as well. I don't understand how Catholics can call themselves Christians if they put their faith in her. Can you explain that?
5. Could you please explain Jesus's statement, "I never knew you," in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 7?

| 1:08.3 | The answer to that is no. |
| 1:15.7 | Jesus was laying down his life to save others. |
| 1:25.1 | It was a sacrificial act, not a selfish act. I mean, it was a sacrificial act. It was him saying, |
| 1:28.4 | you know, greater love hath no man than this, |
| 1:33.7 | and that he lay down his life for his friends. This is what we read in the gospel of John in John chapter 15, verse 13. And Jesus said, nobody, you know, takes my life from me. I'm laying |
