The biblical account of creation states that God breathed into Adam the “breath of life” and he became a “living soul.” What exactly is the “breath of life”? Is it the same as natural breath and is it still within every human being? Does it include the presence and essence of God? Many questions need to be answered.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

The Tree of Life—what amazing insights are revealed through this unique biblical image! Intriguingly, similar symbols (though erroneous) are also found in Buddhism, Islam, and mystical Judaism (Kabbala). However, when we embrace the ten times this renowned tree is mentioned in the Bible, stretching from Genesis to Revelation, the door of a profound revelation opens that will usher us into some of the deepest secrets of the kingdom of God.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgThe Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastDiscover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

“The Book of Life” is a concept only found in Judaism and Christianity. David claimed that God keeps a record of every tear we shed in His “book” (Psalms 56:8). Is this just a symbolic, earthly way of illustrating a mysterious heavenly concept? Or is “The Book of Life” a literal, celestial registry listing all those considered righteous in the sight of God?

There are nine primary supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in Corinthians 12. However, according to Catholic theology, there are only seven gifts of the Holy Spirit—and the list is quite different, being drawn from Isaiah 11. Which one is biblical and correct?

Catholicism proposes that Jesus, toward the end of His ministry, ordained Peter as the head of the church. They insist that he was the first pope and that his apostolic office has since been inherited by an unbroken line of Catholic leaders considered to be “the vicar of Christ in the earth” (God's chief representative).

Why is the “Golden Rule” found in almost every major religion? Some truth seekers insist that because of commonalities like this weaving their way through so many religions, they must be equally legitimate paths to Ultimate Reality. Is that right or wrong? If this concept is found in the Scripture base of multiple worldviews, how did it get there? There are three possible answers.

Are New Age positive affirmations and biblically-based confessions of faith the same thing? Or, are there major differences? Listen to 10 primary points of comparison and make up your own mind. Some Christians, out of concern they are dabbling in New Age practices, teach against the practice of positive confessions of faith. By doing so, are they “throwing out the baby with the bath water”? This teaching will shine the light of revelation on this controversial concept.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

“All religions are one—we all worship the same God!” You hear this opinion voiced quite often. But is it true? If a Muslim, or a Sikh, or a Hindu, or a New Ager claims to love God and worship God—is it audacious and ludicrous for a Christian to deny the legitimacy of that claim? Or is there a different explanation that is sound, loving, logical and true?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

In just 66 words, “The Lord's Prayer” contrasts biblical doctrine to other world religions on major issues like the nature of God, the nature of the universe, and the nature of true salvation. Each phrase uniquely identifies an essential truth. What apologetic genius from the Lord Jesus Christ!

Meditation, according to the Bible, is much different than the prescription for meditation found in Far Eastern religions and New Age spirituality. It is not mechanical; it is relational. It's a normal outgrowth of walking with God in a personal and loving way. Instead of striving for emptiness of mind, quite the opposite, it involves filling the mind with worshipful, deep ponderings toward the Creator. The result? At choice times, God breathes inspired insights into our minds and hearts by the Holy Spirit.

Are all human beings in “the image of God”? Where does that expression come from? Was the “image” lost because of the fall of Adam? If so, was it completely lost or partially lost?

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.

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.

Revealing the True Light • The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Our guest Mike Shreve was raised Catholic by parents fervent in the faith. As a child, he received the sacraments: Baptism, Holy Communion, and Confirmation and went to parochial school and served as an altar boy. Years later he decided to embrace the sacrificial and devoted life of a monk. On my way to the monastery, though, a close encounter with death and a miraculous, divine intervention spurred him to reevaluate his plans and reexamine his belief system. One important conclusion he reached was that Jesus did not tell His followers, “Separate yourself from the human race and live a cloistered life.” Rather, He commissioned them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature”— (Mark 16:15).

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.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastDiscover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

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.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

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?

Do all human beings have an external “divine influence” that can bring them to completion or an internal “divine essence” that needs to be awakened? The difference between these two perspectives is profound. Do we have a “Higher Self,” a “Spark of Divinity,” a “Buddha Nature,” a “Christ Principle,” or a “Conscience”? How do these concepts differ?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastDiscover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

At a recent interfaith gathering in Singapore, Pope Francis voiced some very controversial statements. Referencing Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, he insisted, “We are all sons and daughters of God.” He also maintained, “There's only one God,” and all religions are just “different paths” that all “arrive at God.” Are these assertions true or are they serious heretical departures from authentic, biblical Christianity?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Recently the pope spoke to an interfaith group of young people in Singapore and said, while mentioning Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, that we are all “the children of God.” Is that true? Or are there certain New Testament criteria that must be fulfilled for people to become children of God. If so, what are those requirements?
