Episode 78: Year B – Pentecost Sunday

In this episode, we have the readings from Pentecost Sunday, Year B as our target for reflection. There are several details that we touch on. The first is the gift of “tongues” found in the first reading, taken from Acts 2:1-11. We will briefly touch on this detail given that we’ve already dealt with it for Pentecost Sunday, Year A. The other details, however, will be taken from the optional readings for the second reading, taken from Galatians 5:16-25, and the Gospel, taken from John 15:26-27; 16:12-15. The relevant apologetical topic for the optional second reading is the possibility for a Christian to lose the gift of salvation. There are a few topics that tie into the optional Gospel, taken from John 15:25-27; 16:12-15: the filioque (that the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son), the personhood of the Holy Spirit, and the divinity of the Holy Spirit, contra Jehovah Witnesses beliefs.
