Hello,
Thanks for the great material! Very enjoyable lessons.
Does anyone have a textbook they are willing to let me use or have? I enjoy the lessons but can not afford the $40+ price for the book. I am willing to pay shipping and send it back when done if needed.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks,
AJ

Hey AJ,
I picked up a used copy via Amazon for $18.00 (as well as a copy of Introduction to Catholicism in the same series for $11.95), so you might want to check there!
Thank you so much for this great resource! God bless you!
Word of God anywhere anytime. Thanks.
Thank n God bless u for all u have done to bring the Gospel to the needy
Can you please help me understand how Revelation 3:7 comports with Isaiah 22? It appears in Rev. that Jesus has the keys and is God’s prime minister. ???
Peggy, the keys and opening/shutting were signs of authority. The Book of Revelation emphasizes how Jesus Christ (the New David, David’s son, the Davidic King) has all authority from God the Father.
Since Jesus has all authority, he is able to delegate authority to his Apostles. (Luke 22:30, Matthew 16:18, John 20:23, etc.)
Thanks for answering Carson. I am in conversation with a Church of Christ gentleman who states that the Church mistranslates Matthew 18:16 and that Jesus is the one with the keys and he was just quoting Isaiah 22.22 and he is keeping the keys as is shown in Revelation.
Peggy: I would tell him that yes, Jesus does always have the keys (authority) and he shares the keys (authority) with Peter. It’s not Jesus vs. Peter. It’s both/and. Jesus employs Peter just as he employed the NT authors to write authoritatively the very word of God.
Thanks Carson. I am loving your podcasts and have recommended to my ACTS group. You could have ditched you initial slam against my alma mater, but I will forgive you since it is in the water where you are!
Hook Em!
Peggy, that’s okay, everyone has a past they’d like to erase, such as where they went to college.. *grin* Gig ‘em! May I ask what your parish is and in which city? I participated in 5 ACTS retreats when I was young. 2 as a participant and 3 as a team member. This was St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church in Boerne, TX, my home parish.
