<p><strong>Questions Covered:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>07:00 – Some Christians claim the Catholic Church’s seven sacraments aren’t in the Bible at all. How do you respond to that broad objection?</li>
<li>17:00 – Let’s start at the foundation — where in Scripture do we see the idea that God communicates grace through outward signs?</li>
<li>23:40 – Baptism is accepted by most Christians, but Catholics see it as more than a symbol. What’s the biblical evidence for baptism actually saving us?</li>
<li>42:28 – Many people say Confirmation is just a Catholic “add-on.” What are the scriptural roots for a sacrament distinct from baptism?</li>
<li>06:23 – When it comes to the Eucharist, the biblical debate can get intense. How do you show from Scripture that Jesus meant His words—“This is my body”—literally?</li>
<li>16:50 – But what about when Jesus says, “Do this in remembrance of me”? Doesn’t that prove that the Eucharist merely a meal in which we recollect on the tings that Jesus did?</li>
<li>29:20 – Confession to a priest is one of the hardest for non-Catholics to accept. Where does the Bible show that God gave men the authority to forgive sins?</li>
<li>32:50 – Anointing of the Sick is sometimes seen as “Last Rites” only. How do the Scriptures present this sacrament, and does it match Catholic practice?</li>
<li>41:42 – Marriage as a sacrament—some say the Bible just sees it as a natural institution. How do you show from Scripture that it’s a channel of grace?</li>
<li>48:10 – Holy Orders—where in the Bible do we see a distinct, ordained priesthood in the New Covenant?</li>
