Balaam's Ride

Balaam's Ride is a live, weekly call-in show hosted by John Martignoni of the Bible Christian Society. John discusses a number of topics on any given show, ranging from apologetics and evangelization to economics and politics to current events and more - all from a Catholic Christian perspective. One week John might discuss whether or not Billy Graham will be saved, the next week he could have an atheist on as a guest discussing God or no God, the next an anti-Catholic Baptist minister talking about Mary or maybe a politician talking about pro-life legislation and who knows what else. The program also features a number of recurring spots, such as: The Bible Theme Song, The Orson Welles War of the Worlds News Bulletin, various celebrity cameos, and more. This show is designed to be a bit bolder than most programs you might find on Catholic radio.

Episode 6: Rapture and the Bible

June 7, 2020 • 58 mins

This episode compares Catholic teaching on the "Rapture" and on the end times, with the Protestant teaching on the same subjects. John shows, using only the Bible, that the Rapture theology that is so prevalent among Protestant denominations and which has been popularized by the "Left Behind" series of books and movies, is a gross distortion of what is taught in the Bible. John shows that a "Rapture" of believers that occurs before...

Episode 5: One Church

June 7, 2020 • 56 mins

Have you ever heard someone say that it doesn't matter which Church you go to...as long as it's Christian? John shows why this attitude is not logical and is not biblical. He will show, from the Bible, that Jesus did not intend for there to be 25,000+ churches and denominations - that there is one, and only one, Church.
