5. Prophesies are clear and definite predictions of future events that can be known to God alone. 6. God for the most part intrusts the prophesying of future events to His messengers, for the confirmation of the true faith or for the benefit of men.

1. The external motives which move us to believe are chiefly miracles and prophecy. 2. Miracles are such extraordinary works as cannot be per formed by the mere powers of nature, but are brought about by the intervention of a higher power. 3. Miracles are wrought by almighty God only for His own glory, and especially for the confirmation of true doctrine. 4. In working miracles God usually makes use of the intervention of man, sometimes even of wicked men.

4. The Christian faith comprises all the doctrines of the Catholic faith. 5. Faith is a gift of God, since the power to believe can only be attained through the grace of God. 6. Faith is necessary to eternal salvation. 7. Faith alone is not sufficient for salvation.

1. Christian faith is the firm conviction, arrived at with the grace of God, that all that Jesus Christ taught on earth is true, as well as all that the Catholic Church teaches by the commission she has received from Him. 2. Faith is concerned with many things which we cannot perceive with our senses and cannot grasp with our understanding. 3. We act quite in accordance with reason when we believe, because we trust ourselves to God's truthfulness, and because we know for certain that the truths of faith are revealed to us by God.

The truths of divine revelation, which have not been written down in the pages of Holy Scripture, but have been transmitted by word of mouth, are called Tradition.

Today we discuss the authority of the BIble and Sacred Tradition... as well as a lot of rambling about Thanksgiving, the value of family, MST3K, The Indiana Jones movies, Nero Wolfe, tall Presbyterian women and Martin Luther being an anti-Christ.

Today we discuss the preaching of the Gospel and the verbal versus written teaching of Christ. Those who believe in the Bible, alone as the sole authority, forget that the Bible says that all Jesus said and did was not written.... nor does the Bible claim to be the sole authority. The Bible actually says that the Church is the pillar and foundation.

Today we begin to discuss a major distinction in regard to Christianity as opposed to other religions. Christianity is a revealed religion. Beginning with Judaism and culminating with Jesus, God revealed Himself and His Truth to prophets and the Holy Apostles. There is no further revelation or greater truth.
