0:25 – 1:44 Father, would it be acceptable to write my sins on a paper…
1:44 – 5:34 Please explain the genealogies in Matthew and Luke.
5:34 I was taught that Mary and Joseph had regular sexual relations and more children after Jesus was born. When did this view belief come to be? We also give several reasons why this belief is false.
8:45 Tell the story about why James is called the “Brother of the Lord”. We tell the story, and also much about how Joseph became betrothed to Mary.
15:30 – 20:54 Comments about contemporary sexuality as compared to Orthodox Christian sexuality and the institution of marriage.
17:50 – 19:46 Marriage is a battleground. And why same-sex relationships lack a crucial component for personal growth, sacrifice, and humility.
20:58 – 24:58 Why do different Christian groups accept different books in their canon of (OT) scripture?
25:07 – 27:48 Can someone be named a “class” of angels?
27:48 - 31:15 How do the sacraments not end up being considered "works of the law"?
29:16 – 31:15 *Nothing* in the church is legalistic.
31:27 – 39:38 Why do you believe Joseph was 85? And lots of comments about the virtues of Joseph, his doubts when Mary was found to be pregnant, and why he is in the lower corner of the Nativity icon, talking to an old man.
39:38 – 42:19 Theosis?
42:19 – 47:20 What is it about Mary that the Catholics get wrong? A small answer to a big question, which included the Latin doctrine of original sin, the “immaculate conception”, and the Dormition of the Theotokos.
45:20 – 47:20 Concerning Dormition and the Last Judgment
47:43 – 53:24 Is there any significance that Jesus was buried in a tomb, not in the ground? And a discourse on the visits to the tomb on the day of the resurrection.
53:44 – 59:15 If God knows everything, and is for us, why do we need other people to pray for us?
59:17 – 1:03:32 How do I know what my cross is? Is the sin I struggle with the most, or is just the general concept of denying the flesh as a whole?
1:03:34 – 1:05:43 (end) How to distinguish the Holy Spirit’s “ideas” from your own?
