#12600 Who Are the Sheep and the Goats? Bible Questions - Jimmy Akin

<p>Who are the “sheep and the goats” in Matthew 25, and are we judged by works or saved by grace? In this episode of <em data-start="257" data-end="280" data-is-only-node="">Catholic Answers Live</em>, Catholic Answers apologists unpack this key passage before addressing other challenging questions from Scripture. They explain what Revelation means about reigning with Christ, how Jesus could offer Himself at the Last Supper before the crucifixion, and what the Church teaches about the mysterious Nephilim in Genesis 6. Additional topics include why Jesus allowed Himself to be tempted, what happened to the cross after the crucifixion, and why Catholics are cautious about numerology in biblical interpretation. A thoughtful discussion on salvation, Scripture, and Catholic theology.</p>
