30 - Apologetics

Fr. A. James Bernstein

BA-30-01     Which Came First:  The Church or the New Testament?
    This message is based on the most popular booklet by the same name published by Conciliar Press.  Fr. James tells of his conversion from Judaism to Christianity and his struggle with the claims of the Bible as his only source of truth or that of the church as the deposit of the faith.  This is an excellent message.

The Questions I Get Asked the Most by Protestants

GP-30-03     Are Icons Idols?

Orthodox Christians do not worship icons, they actually help keep us from idolatry.  Icons are "window to heaven."  They show us that The Lord Jesus Christ and the saints of heaven are present.  This message also explains the imagery of Exodus 20 and 25 when God forbids making a graven image.
