Session 28: Matthew 23 - 24

 Key Points:

Don’t be a “show” Catholic.  Check your inner thoughts.  Mt24:13-  Once again, we don’t believe in the false doctrine “Once Saved, Always Saved”, at least not the way many non-Catholic Christians do.  We must persevere to the end of our life in our walk with Christ.  (Salvation is not at a moment in time early in our lives, though it can start there.  Salvation is a lifelong journey-it’s important how we complete it.) Everything you have, and everyone you know,  on this earth will pass away.  All that will remain is your eternal relationship with Christ and those who accept His grace. Be ready!  (It’s later than you think!)

About this Podcast

(Note: This blog is a supplement to the "Catholic Doctrine Bible Study" Podcast. The podcase is available for both iOS and Android) All Christians should want a closer relationship with God.  Toward that end, all Christians should read the Bible!  But there are so many conflicting interpretations that Bible study can be confusing if not disheartening.  Which church, if any, has the God-given authority to interpret the Bible? (Listen to Session 1, if no other,  to see why there can only be one answer to that question.) In this study, you will see the doctrines of the Catholic Church come alive as we go through each book of the entire Bible from a uniquely Catholic perspective. As we come across passages where there are differences in interpretation between the Catholic Church and other groups,  we will point them out, and show why the Catholic Church, the one Church founded by Christ, is the one you can rely on for the Fullness of Truth. The sessions are filled w...

Session 3 - Overview of 4 Gospels

Key Points: Dealing with Discrepancies In The 4 Gospel Accounts, and Emphases of Each Gospel Account. We would EXPECT discrepancies from 4 separate accounts of a person’s life.  Yet the accounts, combined, paint an honest picture of the life and divinity of Christ. Matthew-written to a JEWISH (Jewish convert) audience, to show that Jesus is the promised Jewish messiah. Mark-written to Christians in Rome. “Peter’s Gospel.”  Emphasises Jesus’ ACTIONS and his HUMANITY.  “Suffering Servant.” Source document for Matthew and Luke. Luke-written for GENTILES .  Emphasises:Kingdom is for ALL.  Women in high esteem.  Treatment of poor.  Holy Spirit presence. Jesus’ prayer life. Matthew, Mark, Luke-“Synoptic.” John- Emphasises: Jesus’ DIVINITY . (NOT “Suffering Servant”, He’s always in control.)  Most symbolism, double meanings, numerology.
