Morning Show Appearances
1. How do we know that people who lived after Jesus actually believed that the Bible was God’s word? Did they believe and read the same Gospels as us? I heard that the Bible didn’t come around in published form until hundreds of years later. Which would mean the early Christians didn’t have it to believe in?
2. What is the difference between the King James and Catholic Bibles? Would you help explain the differences in Bible translations?
Show Two
1. My friend told me that you read the Bible in a certain order starting with Matthew. Is this true or can I read it from beginning to end
2. What does “fear of the Lord” really mean? I didn’t think we were suppose to be afraid of God. Isn’t God all loving?
Show Three
1. As Catholics, are we to believe and take the Bible literally contextual? For example is the story of Adam and Eve true or is it made up?
2. Do Guardian Angels really exist? Can I read about them in the Bible? Sometimes I even feel attacked when I sleep. Is there a prayer I can ask them to protect me?

Show Five
1. What are we supposed to take from the different Gospels? It seems they are trying to get across different things when I read them.

1. Some of my non-Catholic friends told me that we aren’t a Bible-based religion. I told them that the Catholic church put the Bible together and pointed them to your other answers about it, (which was GREAT by the way). But what do I tell them when they say that all we do is say prayers made up by humans instead of reading the Word of God?
2. A lot of religions say the Revelation is a foreshadowing of what is to come. Is that what it is?
