The Great Apostasy

Did the Church founded by Jesus Christ apostatize? Did Constantine found the Catholic Church? Rod Bennett, author of The Apostasy that Wasn’t, tackles these questions and more.

Questions Covered:

21:22 - When did the Catholic Church start referring to itself as the Catholic Church? And how did that come about?

28:14 - Is the Catholic Church today closer to the Judaizers that Paul talked about in Galatians and Acts?

33:44 - Many of the early Christians and some of the “Fathers” repudiated the gospel of John, the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jude, James, Peter, and the Revelation of St. John.

48:40 - Where does the passing of authority from Jesus to Peter occur in scripture?
