Why Catholic‪?‬ Justin Hibbard

Was Jesus part God and part man? Did he become God at some point in His life? Was Jesus just appearing in human form? These are some of the questions that have caused divisions in the Church throughout the centuries. In continuation of our series on the Nature of God, Justin Hibbard explores the Church’s emphatic and repeated declaration that Jesus was fully human and fully divine.

Why was the incarnation necessary? Did God really have to become a man in order to redeem mankind, or is the incarnation more indicative of an imaginative God with a taste for the theatrical and the mythological? Justin Hibbard continues the series on the nature of God by looking at God and His imagination.
Why does God tell Moses that no one can see His face and live, yet we see a number of times where God has a face-to-face encounter with man prior to the incarnation. In continuation of our series on the Nature of God, Justin Hibbard explores Christophanies - pre-incarnate appearances of Christ.

Many people think of the God of the Old Testament differently than the God of the New Testament. The God of the Old Testament is stern and gruff, whereas Jesus is meek and mild. In continuation of our series on the nature of God, Justin Hibbard explores the reason Jesus most often referred to God as “father.”

If God is the Creator of light, then it stands to reason that He is greater than light. And if He is greater than light, then His experience of time is different than ours, since time is relative to the speed of light. In this episode, Justin Hibbard continues the series on the Nature of God by exploring the metaphysics of God and how this affects God being personal to us.
