18:15 – If the early church had martyrs, are those martyrs saints. Also, if Charlie Kirk is considered a martyr, could one day he be considered a saint?
22:40 – Did the early church interpret Genesis literally, and then after we realized it doesn’t really correspond to our scientific knowledge, we just started saying it’s not literal? (this is what her son is claiming)
31:12 – I was raised in an independent fundamentalist Baptist church. I’m looking at Catholicism. I want to read writers of the early church. Where do I find that and how do I know if it’s a good translation?
34:30 – How do we know if the early church fathers were Catholic? Because Protestants quote them too. How do we know St. Augustine wasn’t Protestant?
41:15 – I understand for a sin to be mortal we need have knowledge that the act is sinful. But do we have to know the act is specifically a grave offence, or do we just need to know that it is sinful. For example, if one commits a grave offense, but things that act is only venially sinful, would it still be a mortal sin?
46:28 – The Bible says that Mary visited Elizabeth in her sixth month. I saw a video that says that means the sixth month of the year, not Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy. Which way does the Church teach?
50:40 – Were some of the early church fathers Eastern Orthodox? I know the Eastern Orthodox have their church fathers, so whose are right?
