A non-Christian seeker named Ehsan enters the conversation with serious questions about Christianity:
Why was Hebrews included in the biblical canon but not the Didache? What happens after death? Did Jesus give Christians the Bible alone—or did He establish a visible Church with divine authority? What did the earliest Christians believe about the Trinity?
Sam walks Ehsan through Scripture and demonstrates that the apostles were teaching, establishing churches, and transmitting the faith before a single page of the New Testament was written. The Church is called the pillar and foundation of the truth, the spoken apostolic message was received as the Word of God, and Jesus commanded believers to listen to the Church.
The discussion also examines heaven, Hades, hell, purgatory, early Christian heresies, Arius, the Trinity, and the testimony of St. Ignatius of Antioch.
The greatest surprise comes near the end when Ehsan reveals that he is not a Christian—he is an honest seeker whose questions about Christianity are finally beginning to make sense.
Jesus did not say, “Upon this Bible I will build My Church.”
He said, “Upon this rock I will build My Church.”
