From the Show

We can have sharp disagreements and still be humble in how we talk about those disagreements. The way in which we disagree and argue should be different from the ways of the world.

How Do I Honor My Parents When They Have Terrible Theology?

Questions in this Episode

  1. If Jesus is God, was his crucifixion a form of self-murder or suicide?
  2. I am wondering how do I honor my parents when I have strong disagreements with my parents about their beliefs in conspiracy theories about the vaccine, political views that are more estreeme, as well as prosperity gospel-type beliefs. How do I honor them while disagreeing very strongly on these issues?
  3. If God is all powerful, why does he allow evil and suffering?
  4. Mary seems to put her faith in Jesus. Don’t Catholics put their faith in Mary? The basis of Christianity is to put our faith in Jesus, and during Jesus’s first miracle it seemed that she put her faith in her son as well. I don’t understand how Catholics can call themselves Christians if they put their faith in her. Can you explain that?
  5. Could you please explain Jesus’s statement, “I never knew you,” in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 7?
