If YOU can't defend the Faith from the Bible BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW THE BIBLE WELL ENOUGH then here is our solution! The INTENT of this course is to: Expose Biblical Principals, Figures, and Symbols, as Direct Supports for Catholicism, and in so doing, To Teach You How To Recognize Them On Your Own. The Bible serves many purposes. This course concentrates on one, and only one, very specialized, purpose. This is to outline, identify, and make you familiar with those verses which can be effectively used to justify Catholic teachings to "bible-believing" Protestants. This is done with the goal of making your apologetic and evangelistic efforts with "bible-believers" pointedly effective, the ARM way. PLEASE NOTE: 1. How to understand the parables and teachings of Our Lord: Example: . . . AND MUCH, MUCH MORE! DETAILS: The lessons for Saint Matthew and Saint Mark are now available at ARM's Storefront!
In the vast majority of cases, the Catholic will be defending the faith against Protestants who will state that they will not accept anything if it is not in the Bible. They will want numerous references. This course can give these references to you, AND teach you how to recognize them on your own.
The emphasis is NOT on the Catholic teachings which are accepted by the bible believing Protestant. For example, obvious references to Hell will NOT be cited. Some examples of what WILL be cited are:
references to Purgatory, the Communion of Saints, that mortal sin is what damns a person, etc. This is because it is in these areas that you will encounter resistance from Protestants.
Therefore, by no means should this course be considered an exhaustive examination of even a part of the bible. The focus is quite specialized. Unfortunately, this specialization (on apologetics and evangelism) is very much needed today.
The course will explain:
2. How the actions of others can be used to defend the Faith:
3. Why the location of events is useful in understanding:
4. Why the sequence of events is important:
• Are YOU aware that the genealogy in the first chapter of Saint Matthew prefigures the Papacy?
• Are you aware that St. Joseph’s actions support the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament?
• Can you explain how the actions of the Magi support the church’s teaching of Natural Law?
• Do you know how to justify infant Baptism from the healing by Our Lord of the mentally ill?
Each month you will receive one session. Each session will be a minimum of five pages. A typical session covers over ten verses. It is suggested that you keep the lessons in a loose-leaf binder. This will allow you to have a bound and ready-to-use "reference book." You can join the current sessions; start at the beginning of Saint Matthew; and/or purchase the completed Gospels in one package (no discount for this, we WANT you to get them one session at a time so you absorb them better).
