In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore key questions about Catholic doctrine and Scripture. Topics include the Church's teaching on Purgatory, the meaning of “under the earth” in Scripture, and Pope St. John Paul II's quote on free will and the greater good. Jimmy discusses who the Church Fathers are and how to read them, how doctrinal development fits with the end of public revelation, and biblical support for the resurrection of the dead and Christ's second coming. He also addresses whether a priest can deny communion to someone kneeling and whether baptism removes both sin and attachment to sin.

In this episode, we continue our discussion on how to listen to a sermon, drawing insights from 2nd Timothy chapter four, verse one and following. Pastor Mike Abendroth emphasizes the importance of listening doctrinally, with a focus on understanding the divine facts and truths being presented, rather than merely seeking practical application. We should approach sermons with a devout attitude, recognizing the seriousness and eternal consequences of the message. Listeners are encouraged to be defensive in a world that often rejects sound doctrine, guarding against messages that merely tickle the ears rather than speak the truth.

A 15-minute podcast of Bible teaching, Monday - Friday, by the President and Editor of the Sword of the Lord Publishers, Dr. Shelton Smith.
In this episode of Prove All Things, Robert Onsando critiques the Seventh-day Adventist Church's foundational doctrines, focusing on Ellen G. White's elevated role and the controversial teaching of the 1844 investigative judgment. He challenges the church's interpretation of communion frequency, the meaning of “high Sabbaths,” and its justification of failed prophecies, arguing these ideas are unbiblical and misleading. Robert also shares about his ministry in Kenya, where he teaches biblical feasts and calendars despite resistance and calls for support in spreading the gospel.
Doctrinal Statements of Trinitarian Seminaries, Universities and Churches have problems, such as:1. The first two statements often contradict each other. Protestant institutions declare the Scriptures are the sole authority for belief and practice, and then in the next breath describe and eternal multi-person god who is never described in such terms in the Bible.2. Doctrinal statements off refer to God with the singular pronouns he/him/his, but then suddenly describe god as multi-persons, whose pronouns should be they/them/theirs.#trinityevangelicaldivinityschool, #libertyuniversity, #southernbaptist #trinity, #Jesus, #deityofchrist, #bible#trinity, #Jesus, #deityofchrist, #bible

How can Christians engage meaningfully with history? In an age underpinned by the idea that life is about self-invention and fulfilment, contemporary Western culture holds that the past has little to teach us. We live in an age that historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker terms as the “Ahistoric Age,” in which we are profoundly disconnected from history. In the attempt to appear relevant, the church often embraces this ahistoric worldview by jettisoning the historic ideas and practices of Christian formation. But this has unintended consequences, leaving Christians unmoored from history and losing the ability to grapple with its ethical complexities. Sarah Irving-Stonebraker joins Hank Hanegraaff to discuss what it means to be a priest of history and why it matters more than ever for Christians to maintain this critical conversation with the past.To receive Priests of History: Stewarding the Past in an Ahistoric Age for your partnering gift, please click here. https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resources-priests-of-history-stewarding-the-past-in-an-ahistoric-age/Topics discussed include: What does it mean for Christians to be priests of history?

This lecture explores the legal doctrine of estoppel, a principle that prevents a party from asserting a position that contradicts one they previously took, especially when another party has relied upon that initial position to their detriment. Rooted in fairness and justice, estoppel doctrines aim to uphold consistency and prevent parties from acting in bad faith by shifting their legal stance after inducing reliance.The lecture provides a comprehensive examination of various forms of estoppel, including:Equitable Estoppel – Arising when one party, through words, conduct, or silence, induces another to act to their detriment.Promissory Estoppel – Typically used in contract law when a promise, though unsupported by formal consideration, is enforced due to reasonable reliance.Judicial Estoppel – Prevents a party from taking inconsistent positions in judicial proceedings to protect the integrity of the courts.Collateral Estoppel (Issue Preclusion) – Bars the re-litigation of specific issues previously decided in prior lawsuits.Estoppel by Deed and Estoppel by Record – Doctrines specific to property law and procedural rules, respectively.We will delve into the essential elements of each type of estoppel, including representations, reliance, detriment, and fairness considerations. The lecture also covers landmark cases that have shaped the modern understanding of estoppel, compares common law and equitable origins, and analyzes the doctrine's application in various areas such as contract disputes, real property transactions, civil procedure, and administrative law.Doctrinal tensions, such as the boundaries between estoppel and waiver, as well as debates around estoppel's applicability against the government, are explored in detail. The lecture concludes by evaluating policy implications and criticisms, including the potential for estoppel to undermine statutory rights, complicate legal predictability, or create opportunities for strategic litigation behavior.By the end of this lecture, the listener will be equipped with a deep and nuanced understanding of how estoppel functions to reinforce consistency, equity, and reliance in legal proceedings.

Erasmus and Luther struggle over the question of church authority. Erasmus makes an appeal to doctrinal authority based on ecclesial order. Luther counters by appealing to doctrine driven out of Scripture alone.
