QUESTIONS ASKED:
00:00:00 - Introduction
00:10:52 - Does the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 relate back to a council 1 Chronicles 28? I’m thinking that if it does, it could be more proof for the papacy.
00:17:14 - Does Matthew quote the Septuagint?
00:21:53 - I heard an interpretation of the story of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac that Abraham failed because he should have offered himself in place of Isaac. Is there any truth to that interpretation?
00:31:46 - I find it’s hard to use 2 Macc 12:46 to defend Purgatory to Protestants because they don’t believe in that book. How do you deal with that?
00:40:20 - How do we answer someone who says that God is Jehovah?
00:45:22 - How do we answer free-gracers that bring up Rom 3:20 as proof that works of the law are all works?
00:49:50 - What is the biblical evidence for inclusivism, meaning that God has mercy for those who through no fault of their own have not heard the gospel? And if there’s time… Why does Acts 1:5 talk about a water baptism and a holy spirit baptism, but Eph 4:5 says “one baptism.”
00:55:00 - 2nd Hour Introduction
00:58:21 - 1 Sam 18:10 says “an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul.” How are we supposed to interpret that when nothing evil can come from God?
01:05:06 - Can you help me understand in what sense Jesus is God? How can a thing have two natures? Is it the same way the Burning Bush, or the Eucharist, is God?
01:14:39 - What are the reasons a person might hear voices?
01:23:55 - My spiritual director has been cautioning me against treating novenas and relics like magic. But in last Sunday’s gospel we hear of the woman who was healed because she believed if she touched Jesus’ clothes she would be healed. How can one have that kind of faith without treating it like magic?
01:33:05 - Does Matthew quote the Septuagint?
01:40:50 - What’s the difference between black magic and white magic?
01:43:42 - I had an experience in early youth that led to my conversion later in life. Have you heard anything like that before? What kind of experience is this?
The New Testament says "If I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth." - 1 Timothy 3:15 and "speaking of this* as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures." - 2 Peter 3:16
i like that guy edgar
You need an accurate Bible study.
@@cbooth151I would venture to say that about you. But for now, I like Edgar too.
@@topogigio6490 "I would venture to say that about you. But for now, I like Edgar too."
No, you can't say that about me. You see, by way of an accurate study of the Bible, I was able to answer the host's question, which was, "Is the name 'Jehovah' the actual name of God or what is it?" The bald guy NEVER answered that question. Why, then, do you identify yourself with a person who is too ignorant to answer a simple Bible-related question?
BTW, the bald guy said that purgatory is Biblical, even though the New Catholic Encyclopedia clearly says: "The Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, not on Sacred Scripture."
@@cbooth151 Martignoni answered directly that "Jehovah" is not the name of God given on Sinai as to pronunciation. He explicitly says that "Jehovah" is "a misunderstanding, misinterpretation, combining the vowels of one word with the consonants of another word." He doesn't say how the name was pronounced, because all we can do now is guess, something that you yourself have mentioned. You keep missing what he actually said, and I have to wonder why.
He's also correct that the doctrine of purgatory is biblical, as it has strong scriptural basis, (a point I've repeated). Martignoni makes a powerful argument in the video, one which you have never tried to refute. I think that itself is telling. It is also a matter of Tradition. And as I've pointed out many times, there is no scriptural basis for insisting that doctrine beonly based on scripture.
By the way, how is your reading going?
@@1901elina I agree. That is an excellent resource for understanding what we believe and why.
Thanks! Loved to hear how both CA and BCS got its name!
God is so above a J or a Y, He’s even above a “name” as a name comes from someone before you who named you; hence, God is above the human concept of a given name. That’s why He said (probably after a good chuckle) to Moses, “You go tell those boys that I AM sent you.” That’s a verb. God is being. He is. There was no godparent of God (sorry Mormons you’re just wrong), so there was no parent to name Him. He is Eternal.
JWs are in pre-school on this. Once they graduate to primary school they will hopefully have the eyes to see this basic truth.
But on a positive note, the JWs founder, Chuck Russel, has a pretty epic pyramid shaped tombstone (PA if I recall). Guess he never got excommunicated even though he divorced his wife for a reason other than divorce (which is against WT doctrine).

John Martignoni makes a lot of good points here. However, on the issue of whether Abraham failed in following God's command to sacrifice Isaac, I think he missed the simplest answer, which is the conclusion of that account. "A second time the angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven and said: "I swear by my very self -- oracle of the Lord -- that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your son, your only one, I will bless you and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth will find blessing, because you obeyed my command." Gen. 22:15-18 RSV
I think it's clear that God would not reward Abraham for failing a test. Moses was not commanded to do anything, so he was free to offer himself in the place of the people. But Abraham was given a direct command to do something, and did as he was commanded. I think that's the difference. But in any case, the reward God gave to Abraham for following his command shows that Abraham in no sense failed.
Is God Jehovah? That depends on the Bible used. For instance, notice two Bibles, the American Standard Bible and the New Jerusalem Bible in the following verses...
1. Ex. 6:2, 3
"God spoke to Moses and said to him, 'I am Yahweh. To Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I appeared as El Shaddai, but I did not make my name Yahweh known to them." (NJB)
"And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Jehovah I was not known to them."
2. Ex. 3:15
"God further said to Moses, 'You are to tell the Israelites, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you." This is my name for all time." (NJB)
"And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever." (ASV)
3. Ps. 110:1
"Yahweh declared to my Lord, 'Take your seat at my right hand, till I have made your enemies your footstool.' (NJB)
"Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool." (ASV)
4. Ps. 83:18
"Let them know that you alone bear the name of Yahweh, Most High over all the earth." (NJB)
"That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth."
So, depending on the Bible used, God's personal name is rendered either as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah."
The reason I used the American Standard Version instead of the JW's New World Translation was to show that the ASV has used the name "Jehovah" for many decades before the NWT was released. So Jehovah's Witnesses did not invent the name "Jehovah."
Catholics, including the bald guy in the video are highly hypocritical.. They insist God's name is "Yahweh," yet, they rarely, if ever, use that name. To them, "God" is sufficient.
BTW, did you notice that the bald guy never answered the question: "Is the name 'Jehovah' the actual name of God *or what is it?"* The bald guy's only intention was to slam Jehovah's Witnesses, which he failed miserably to do. So sad
And one more thing. Is the Catholic teaching of purgatory Biblical? No, it isn't. As the New Catholic Encyclopedia says: "The Catholic doctrine on purgatory is based on tradition, not on Sacred Scripture."
Catholics are notorious for making up doctrines that are totally unbiblical.
@@cbooth151 Where in the Bible does it say everything has to be in the Bible?
@@anthonymckinney9904 The answer, of course, is nowhere.
Most of your response amounts to seeing how English translations of render the name of God. This is, of course, irrelevant to the question of what name God actually gave to Moses. For that, you need to go to the original Hebrew. And yes, Martignoni ("the bald guy") doesn't explain whether "Jehovah" is the actual name of God. This is because he doesn't need to. The caller had already explained the origin of the error that led to the "Jehovah" construct, so Martignoni only has to agree with him. He goes on to say that Jehovah's Witnesses won't get it, so there's no point telling them about this. He then goes on to discuss Revelation 2:23, something I notice you did not deal with.
As for Purgatory, there are several passages in the Bible that deal with the principles that undergird it. But the first thing to note is that the idea that all doctrines must be based on the Bible is entirely unbiblical. Someone who replied to you below asked where in the Bible it says everything we believe must be in the Bible. The answer, of course, is nowhere. "Sola scriptura" is self refuting.
I’M A WITNESS and people say so many lies about us. But it was foretold that this would happen.
@@anthonymckinney9904LOL! You Did! Catholics swear up and down they made the Bible, so then explain why EVERYTHING isn’t in the Catholic Bible.
Lol! I swear every Catholic must be brainwashed to say the same things when you can’t answer something: Where does it say everything has to be in the Bible? When did Jesus say everything he said has to be written down? Well, if you really are the TRUE CHURCH Jesus founded, you could answer it from the Scriptures just like Jesus. He rebuked the Devil with only Scriptures and so can you!!
That last caller was just a rambling psycho pretending a religious experience
