Slave: Highest Title for a Christian? - Father Simon Says - November 12, 2025

(3:15) Bible Study: 
Isaiah 29:17-24
Redeemed and the world to come.
Matthew 9:27-31
What does this passage mean really?

Diane - In the New Testament it says 'many are called but few are chosen'. What does it mean that, 'few are chosen'
Alonzo - The priest at Mass today said the Matthew that wrote the Gospel is not the same Matthew who was an Apostle. Is this true?
Joseph - I want to push back against the letter you received about sin. Wouldn’t it be the case that if someone aims at a different target, they still miss the target so 'Hamartia' could still apply?
Rich - In the New Testament the historic Jesus says he is not allowed to associate with the Canaanite woman. What is your interpretation of this passage? I think Jesus is rejecting Catholicism here because Catholicism comes from the Etruscans.
