Mission Brief 38: Pope Francis' Dangerous Comments and Defending Jesus as the Only Way to God

Video

Men’s Alliance

Goose critiques Pope Francis' belief that all religions lead to God, as expressed in his interfaith dialogues. He argues against this notion based on the New Testament's portrayal of Jesus, who claimed to be the exclusive way to the Father. Goose expresses disappointment in this stance, viewing it as heresy, and would love to ask Pope Francis about his views on this matter if given the opportunity. He emphasizes the importance of Jesus' exclusive truth claim in Acts 4:12 and encourages listeners to follow this narrow path. Goose challenges the concept of having a Pope in Catholicism based on Hebrews in the Bible, which states there is only one God and one mediator between humans and God, which is Jesus Christ.

Ep 127: Confusing Bible Verses

Video

Men’s Alliance

This week Chris "Knuckles" Luck rejoins the show to discuss confusing bible verses. Listen to Knuckles previous podcast episode War Stories 2: Hells Angels. Greg Koukl says "Never read a bible verse. Instead always read a paragraph at least". The Bible contains many different styles of writing such as: biography, poetry, letters, and history. We have to avoid taking verses out of context from the Bible and applying verses to our life if they were written for others. Always continue to learn more about the context of the verses, we do this by talking with other trusted Christians and reading commentaries such as the ones listed below.
