    Protestant Games, Part 2: The Berean Gambit (#354)
    Jul 10 2025

    In Part 2 of a two-part series, "Protestant Games," Greg dismantles the Protestant “Berean Gambit”—their claim that Acts 17:11 proves sola scriptura. Far from a mic-drop, this move backfires, showing the Bereans trusted Paul’s oral apostolic tradition—resurrection, Trinity, Gentile inclusion—checked for consistency with the Old Testament, aligning with Catholicism’s view of Scripture and Tradition as one. Check out episodes #133, #134, #220-246, and #299 at ConsideringCatholicism.com for more on the Bible and the Church!

  • Protestant Games, Part 1: Why Play By Protestant Rules? (#353)

    Protestant Games, Part 1: Why Play By Protestant Rules? (#353)
    Jul 7 2025

    In Part 1 of a two-part series, Greg tackles Protestant apologist Gavin Ortlund’s 5 Reasons I Am Not Catholic, which shakes cradle Catholic Iris and others with evangelical critiques. Instead of playing the “rigged game” of proving Catholicism by Protestant rules (sola scriptura, sola fide, Bible-only faith), Greg flips the script, showing these premises are unbiblical, ahistorical, and rejected by most Christians across time. Tune in to Part 2 for a deep dive into Acts 17:11 and the Bereans!

  • Evangelicals and Israel, the Alamo and End Times (#352)

    Evangelicals and Israel, the Alamo and End Times (#352)
    Jul 4 2025

    Why do American evangelicals passionately support modern Israel, especially in conflicts like Israel-Iran? In the final part of our Seeking Roots, Finding the Church series, Greg Smith shares why Americans, including evangelicals, admire Israel’s pioneer spirit and military prowess, akin to Davy Crockett at the Alamo. Buy notes that dispensationalist theology, tied to their chase for Jewish roots (Episode 1) and reliance on the Masoretic Text (Episode 2), also fuels their political commitment, contrasting with the Catholic view of the Church as the New Israel. Responding to claims like Senator Ted Cruz’s, Greg shows why the Church, not a nation, is the true fulfillment of God’s covenant.
