Is Jesus Christ Divine? Paul’s Clues in Colossians 3

Episode 141: 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year C

In today’s episode, we reflect on some details in the second reading for this upcoming 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time that are not directly related to apologetical topics but rather are indirectly related. The topics that these details give rise to are Paul’s belief in Jesus’ Messiahship and divinity, Paul’s teaching on the salvific efficacy of baptism, and Paul’s teaching on the second coming of our Lord, which in turn is related to discussions surrounding the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine that is common among some Protestants.
