Overcoming Obstacles to Belief in Jesus

Questions Covered:

• 11:10 - As a new convert, how do we cope with Judas’ treachery when he was chosen by Jesus himself? 
• 20:10 - We know crucifixions happened through the wrist, so how do we reconcile that with the Gospels, private revelation, and the stigmata indicating Jesus had wounds in his hands? 
• 24:10 - How did Jesus’ death and resurrection bring us over into the new covenant? 
• 36:35 - How can Jesus allow horrible things to happen to innocent people? 
• 47:26 - Why are the resurrection accounts so short compared to the rest of the Gospels? It seems like that’s a really big deal that the authors would have talked about more. 
• 50:36 - What is the connection between Peter’s confession of faith and his subsequent attempt to prevent Jesus’ death?
