(35:23) - When Jesus tells the man - go and sin no more - It makes it seem like Jesus thinks the reason he was sick was because he did something wrong. Is this right?
(40:06) - I know that Jesus was fully God and Fully man. Now that he is in Heaven is he still fully God and man or is he just God now?
(41:54) - Why does Jesus always tell people not to tell others about the miracles he's done?
(43:08) - I went to a funeral at an SSPX church and they had communion there. Would it be bad to take communion there or was it only for people who go to that church?
