It is always a blast to join Cy Kellett on Catholic Answers Live. I’ve been doing the show 6-12 times a year for over 20 years. Always a pleasure to answer questions that explain and defend our beautiful Catholic truth.

Our topic was “Abraham, Father of Faith and Works” and a lot of other aspects of Abraham’s life and faith.

We started out discussing the huge ordeal of packing up everything, leaving home and family at 75 years old to drive your herds and flocks about 1,600 miles to a land God had promised him. “You come very lately Lord, very late…but my camels will leave in the morning.”

We had a Muslim call in (who refused to admit he was a Muslim) trying to imply that the “prophet who was to come” in Deut 18:15-18 was Mohammed. It is actually referring to Jesus Christ and we ably defended the Catholic position.


  • 15:33 – I’ve heard people say that Abraham knew that he wouldn’t have to actually sacrifice his son because he said, “wait here, we’ll be back”. What do you think about this?
  • 29:23 – What happened with Abraham’s other son? (This one ended up being quite feisty with a Muslim who didn’t want to admit he was a Muslim)
  • 41:20 – Did Abraham know God to be a trinity, or did he know God to just be one person, the Father?
  • 45:48 – Follow up on the conversion earlier – Do you typically call the elder generation “brethren”?
  • 50:54 – Did Abraham have/receive the Holy Spirit?
