• Are Catholics Sealed With the Holy Spirit During Confirmation? (253)
    Jan 7 2025

    It is believed in Catholicism that during the sacrament of Confirmation, the seal of the Holy Spirit is imparted, completing the work of salvation that begins at baptism. A Catholic bishop lays hands on each candidate, commands this ‘sealing’ to take place, and a new name (the name of a patron saint) is conferred. Does this supernatural impartation actually take place or is it just another religious ritual?

  • The Pope Opens Sacred Doors / Powerful Rite or Empty Ritual? (252)
    Dec 31 2024

    Four revered Catholic churches in Rome have “holy doors” that have been sealed for almost ten years but are now being opened by the pope for a Jubilee year in 2025. Catholics who pass through those doors are promised a plenary indulgence (an escape from all punishment awaiting them in Purgatory). Millions of pilgrims will be headed to Rome during the coming year. Is this a powerful rite or just an empty ritual?

  • What Is Natural Religion? (250)
    Dec 18 2024

    What is the difference between natural religion and revealed religion? Has God, from the beginning, witnessed His reality in natural ways for the benefit of all humanity? Has He also revealed Himself supernaturally to certain blessed individuals chosen to walk with Him and represent Him in this world? How do both approaches fit into God’s eternal plan? An intriguing study.

  • Is There Really Only One God? (249)
    Dec 10 2024

    When discussing the nature of the Godhead, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and New Agers all passionately insist, “There is only one God!” Do they all mean the same thing by that terse, five-word statement? Or are there drastically different ways of interpreting this simple phrase? In His conversation with the woman at the well, Jesus unveiled the mystery—profoundly.

  • Is the "Hallow App" Really Hallowed? (248)
    Nov 26 2024

    A new prayer app called “Hallow” is getting a lot of attention among believers. However, do the teachings and services on this app present a true biblical approach to prayer or are concepts being promoted that are false? The word “hallowed” means holy or sacred. Only correct prayer methods could ever be labeled “hallowed.” The “true light” on this vitally important subject needs to be revealed.

  • Five Reasons I No Longer Confess My Sins To A Priest (247)
    Nov 19 2024

    One of the most valued aspects of being Catholic is the sacrament of reconciliation: confessing your sins to a priest, receiving absolution (cleansing), and performing the assigned penance. There are five main reasons I no longer believe these three things are necessary to be forgiven and restored to a right relationship with God.

  • Is Infant Baptism Biblical? (246)
    Nov 12 2024

    Many Christian denominations teach infant baptism, including the Catholic Church in which I was raised. Is this a legitimate biblical tradition, or is it based on a misunderstanding of Scripture? Even if parents who do this are sincere, are they basing their hopes on a doctrinal foundation that crumbles when examined closely?
