Good luck brother! I am currently in College now and will be Commissioning this May as a 2nd Lt.

Doesn’t happen in Australia as we are a Catholic majority country with a small Protestant population, most of which are rapidly declining Anglicans.

See you, Saint Cowboy. God bless you. 👑🙏

Congratulations and best wishes to you, young man. I've enjoyed your vids. You've seemed wise beyond your years. God bless you.

You can only be sola fide up until the point that your faith is tested and you must make a choice. Only in the coddled west do we hear claims of sola fide. In the real world, someone who has faith will always have to act in accordance with their faith because they will face trials and tribulations that will put their faith on the line. At any point that their faith is tested and they fail, they are in danger of damnation unless they repent and, if they’re fortunate, die before their next trial.

The difference between worship and veneration seems to be one of degree more than of of substantial difference. The word "worship" means worth-ship, ascribing or regarding higher worth or value. The word "veneration" means having respect or awe due to another's higher value. Here are definitions from Webster's Dictionary: WORSHIP: 1: reverence offered a divine being or supernatural power also : an act of expressing such reverence 2: a form of religious practice with its creed and ritual 3: extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem VENERATION: 1: respect or awe inspired by the dignity, wisdom, dedication, or talent of a person Here is the question: do you ascribe supernatural power to Mary, and do you offer her reverence and extravagant respect? If "dulia" is veneration, isn't "hyperdulia" an artificial construct developed to skirt the issue? These are questions each Catholic should ask himself about his own beliefs and practices. I can't answer them for you, the individual. But I can say that we don't have any evidence from the first 150 years of the church for the practice of Marian devotion; such devotion developed after, and seemingly because of, the Gnostic-influenced writings which began to appear in the late Second Century and beyond. If Mary were being accorded hyperdulia in the Apostolic Age church, I think one of the Epistles would have taught it or at least mentioned it; instead, Mary seems to disappear into the background after Acts 2, as if she were not regarded as important to the life of the Christian in the church.

I am one of the reasonable witnesses for Christ. And I was a solid, well-catechized Roman Catholic for the first 25+ years of my life. But I am not afraid to call out irregularities in the Catholic faith versus the Biblical Christian faith. My main thrust in addressing my dear Catholic friends is, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart," Prov. 3:5. We want to guard ourselves against placing our trust in men, in our church, in our reception of Sacraments, etc., and trust wholeheartedly in Jesus Christ who made full propitiation on the cross to redeem us from every one of our (past and future) sins. I get a lot of flack for that, from people who have misplaced their trust (their faith, their belief).

Have you consecrated yourself to Mary to seal yourself to the devil yet?

To be fair, there are noise maker Catholics too.

One thing I think you should go to is the Latin Mass. At a high mass you truly do get to experience the accumulation of 2000 years of Roman Catholic Tradition in the full ceremonial form: incense, Gregorian chant, etc. its beautiful and it’s our heritage and we are heirs to it by faith. It’s something we should embrace and not suppress. I’ve never watched one of your videos, but I’m glad I saw this one since your advice is very good. The internet has a lot of good, but also, maybe more importantly, a lot of bad. And that we can make a difference. Thanks for everything you’ve done. Keep living out your faith and evangelizing. I know you will do a lot of good out there. I see a pure soul. God bless you

Keep the channel up. keep posting now and again. even if it's every few months

U are strengthening me as a Catholic, and a person, with every video u produce!❤

Well. God's protection on ur life's journey, but... U know as sure as God's in heaven , that u are gonna be bombarded by heretics , of every Christian belief system to question ur faith. This will either begin to dismantle your faith, or..... it will force you to " run the Vatican flag up the pole", and strengthen ur faith. I pray it's the latter. Ur in my prayers!

😄 "Trent Horn, Timothy Gordon & the white van/cop scenario is hilarious!

Really good stuff! Comical but honest & endearing.. Too bad I didn't hear it before today.. Utube rarely sent your channel notifications. Growing up in a rural area is the best. Like Hank Williams Jr sang "A country boy can survive" :) Do you mind if I share it with Trent Horn one day soon?

My man definitely reach out to Pinesap and get in contact, I think you guys could have great conversation

Your videos are always a lot of fun, yet you talk about some very important issues. God bless!

Is something that is absolutely simple necessarily something that is absolutely one?

Good Luck

Best of luck and God bless you.

😆 Love the outro.. I bet someone shows it to TaTa Marshall, lol

This is bittersweet. I've followed you for over a year.. wish I'd commented.. I'm sure your parents are proud of you and the lady that marries you will be lucky indeed.. Work hard, have a bunch of kids.. Thank you for defending the Catholic faith.. Stay strong..may the Triune God bless & protect you 🕊️🕯️🤍 ps: don't let the vegans & liberals influence you!! (just kidding, I'm sure you won't) Will include you in my prayers 🙏🏻

Good luck with college, I also just started college to study business.

Good video. Honestly, most of the candidates were pointless and I supported Trump the whole way through. On Abortion: I recognize it as a great evil of our time on par with slavery and a ban would be the natural conclusion. But first, we need to change the culture. Fight back against hook-up culture, financially tie men who have one-night stands with women if they get her pregnant, strengthen support for maternity/paternity leave, and pro-family welfare policies like: More tax cuts to couples with 2 or more kids and interest free loans to young couples to buy a home and start a family and a part of the loan is removed with each child they have.

Can you recommend some of your favorite KZbin channels before you go? Wish you the best on your journey. 🙏

Unreasonable Protestants double down ~ reasonable Protestants become Catholic :) 🕊️🕯️🤍

Please keep us posted when you can. With love and prayers, keep the faith :)

Congratulations on this new chapter in your life! Your solid faith is a beacon of hope for us. You are in my prayers. Keep strong!

Best of luck, and May God guide your path. I pray that if you go for the military life, that it is not under a Satanic, wicked Harris or other democrat regime. The only possible reason to be in it is to act as the salt of the earth, because America is expending all her energy on doing evil currently. God bless America, Americans, and may He guide Trump back to office, followed by other leaders of the better kind. o7

Best of luck going to college and joining the military you're going to do awesome and amazing ill keep you in prayer thank you for everything RC!!

It's a good place to conclude the channel after all of the content you've given us. Good luck in college. I'm going there, too. Gonna be hard for me to get my own stuff done as well. Keep us updated on occasion! Maybe with like a community post or something. God bless !!!

Damn. I just discovered your channel, but good luck with college and the army. I don't know if I agree the army is the right place right now. No offense, but I don't think we owe the government our service. They don't care fur us, in fact they hate us. But in the end good luck. God Bless 🙏🏻 Sorry for the rant. Peace ✌🏻 P.S. I'm no Doomer though, just an semi-optimistic realist.

I think soldiers make great content creators! During your time in college you might need to reduce the channel content frequency for study, but you might be surprised the amount of time the Army will allow you if you’re wise with your time 😉

The first time i was visting Canada with a croup i saw a catholic church,i was notting off it was so boreing i wanted to go do something else.I saw statues and im like why are there statues kinda creepy. God wants us to sing his name like a warrior. AND YES ONLY THE LORD SAVES NOT MARRY.

Christianity is neither evidentially true nor historically true, so you are already being dishonest in your claims, which is what I've come to expect from Christian theists, and apologetics. Jesus, the bible, and Christianity are all frauds invented by the Flavian era Roman Empire, and the Roman Catholic church, collectively used to oppress and control the citizens of the Empire through guilt and fear, which is exactly how they are used today. They were a part of the Empire's propaganda campaign to pacify the citizens, to get them to pay their taxes, and to get them to stop uprising and warring against the Empire. There is virtually zero historical evidence for Jesus, and the gospels are all stolen mythologies, and 3rd party hearsay, written decades and up to a thousand years after Jesus supposedly walked, by men who didn't know him, the gospels are all storytelling, not historical accounts, rendering them completely unreliable. The entire bible is just a fictionalized history of the ancient Israelites, and has absolutely nothing to do with our modern era, there is nothing in the bible that is scheduled or 'prophesied' to occur within our modern era. Jesus is a fraud, in that he lied at Matt 16:28, and again at Luke 9:27, making him a liar and a false prophet. The Bible itself is filled with multitudes of lies, (both god and Jesus lie throughout it) contradictions, scientific errors, and a plethora of pornographic passages, affirming that men wrote the bible, and that a god didn't cause it, as a "perfect god" would have known when figs were in season, (Matt. 21:18-19) A perfect god wouldn't have needed to steal a donkey, (Matt 21:2-3) A perfect god would've known that the seasons are opposite on the southern half of the equator, (Matt 24:20), etc., etc. Christianity, (as are all Abrahamic religions) is deeply rooted in Paganism, rendering it a dangerous, man-made garbage religion. The fact that Christianity grafted itself onto earlier pagan worship was part of the design of the church fathers. Pagan elements were incorporated into the Christian faith on the advice of Pope Gregory the Great, who told Saint Augustine of Canterbury that rather than tear down the pagan temples in Britain, he should instead add existing pagan rituals into the mix of Christian practices, thus providing an easy transition to the new religion. Unfortunately, some of the most basic things believed by most professing Christians derive from ancient paganism rather than from the Bible. The idea that people have immortal souls was first taught in ancient Egypt and Babylon. The Greeks likewise taught that at death the soul would separate from the physical body (Jewish Encyclopedia, 1941, Vol. 6, pp. 564, 566, "Immortality of the Soul"). That idea was merged into Christianity from Greek philosophy. It did not come from inspired Scripture. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of going to heaven. In their mythology, the god Osiris was killed but then raised back to life, whereupon he went to a distant heavenly realm. The Egyptians concluded that if he could do this, then human beings could follow (Lewis Browne, This Believing World, pp. 83-84). This heavenly reward was a central teaching of several ancient mystery religions-but not the religion of the Hebrews or early Christians. Even some Christian teachings about Jesus have origins in paganism rather than the Biblical record. Babylonian mythology regarding Ishtar claimed that she had a son named Tammuz. He died each year but then would be reborn again in the spring. The Babylonian veneration of both the mother and child influenced later versions of Christianity that deified Jesus' mother Mary as much as Jesus Himself (Sir James Frazer, The Golden Bough, 1993, p. 326). This stands in contrast to Scripture, which honors Mary, but reveres no ordinary human being-only Christ. The Chaldean symbol for Tammuz was the letter tau, which appears as a san-serif "t" and is commonly considered a cross (Babylonian Mystery Religion, p. 51; Vine's, "Cross, Crucify"). While the Bible does indeed teach that Jesus was crucified, there is no record of the shape of the crucifix. At that time, Romans used various forms of upright stakes, some with crossbeams and some without. The Bible does not indicate that the early Church ever used the cross as a religious symbol, but several pagan religions had been doing so for centuries before Christ was born. Contrary to this, the truth is that most of the features of Christianity that people today think of as superior were, in fact, already options in the Roman world. I could go on, and on, and on, and on, but I'll stop here. Read the book, "Caesar's Messiah" to learn the FACTUAL bases for Christianity, Jesus, and the bible, they are all FRAUDS!!!

Redneck Catholic represent 💪 I'm from the south too

Not sure why I got this recommended, but I really appreciate this distinction. As a confessional Lutheran, I find myself on the side of Catholics over unreasonable "Protestants" all the time. And I say that as someone who comes from a Pentecostal/non-denominational family that could definitely be considered unreasonable (they really do mean well though). Not to overlook our very significant differences with Catholics, but my eyes roll every time I see "Protestants" attacking Catholics for things that classical Protestants all affirmed even if they had differences in what it meant or how it was expressed (baptismal regeneration, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, Mary as the Mother of God/Theotokos, the historical liturgy/mass, etc). The dialogue of Christian theology would be so much more fruitful and even appealing to outsiders if we were actually fighting for the truth within the realm of relative orthodoxy without the outlandish input from people with no regard for the historical Christian church and a disdain for all the very Christian traditions from which they came.

In Ohio, where I live, there are Nature Preserves. People have donated their land for preservation. They are a part of a county’s park district. Through this effort volunteers are able to help with the upkeep. The state department of natural resources also has hikes. This is a safer way for women to get out into nature when they are yet on their own. I wonder why the local parish does not have these things, per JPII.

Keep ignoring jesus' word in favor of "church fathers" who hold a title jesus directly spoke against. If you call any religious leader "father" you're following traditions of man. Continue following man ill continue following jesus. Thats what makes me a christian.

Ever since the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition invented by a devil possessed man was introduced five hundred years ago many idiots like Calvin Smith Zwingli Knox Ellen Henry Wesley Russell etc started to interpret the Bible on their own wild imagination and even adding their wishful thinking or twisting historical facts or even worse they even tried to manipulate the holy Bible itself in order to make their satanic theology fit into it and it keep on and on and on and on and on upto fifty thousand heretic idiots McArthur Benny Copeland Crepo Osteen etc are doing all sorts of nonsense in order to destroy the Church of saints that Jesus established under the stewardship of Peter but nothing happened to it for the last two thousand year and will remain till Jesus comes back because Jesus himself promised to Peter saying no gates of hell will prevail against it

As an Anglican, an Episcopalian, our Apostolic Succession was recognized by the Roman Catholic Church all the way up to 1870, when it got canceled by Vatican I.

Great video, apostolic succession is so important i would love to see you do a video on it at some point.

It’s not James White who tells unreasonable Protestants what to believe…it’s John MacArthur. 😏

By grace alone, and faith alone are you saved! God did all the works and is the one that does all the works! Even Jesus said, "I can do nothing without my father!" A vessel is empty, it needs to be filled with love, that is God, not the vessel? 1corinthians 13:1 - it is God that does the works when you are born of the Spirit, you rest on him, not by your works!..

I don't think that christian nationalism is about lbgt, trans, or right to life. I think christian nationalism is a misguided political power-grab by certain christians or christian groups. Trying to legislate morality is a fools mission. And christianizing the country by bullying or legislation just doesn't work. I will not comment on right to life, or birth control because Protestants are not clear on how or why they have the views that they have. I am a cradle and practicing Catholic and stand 4 square against this nationalist movement. Render unto Cesar and Render unto God, but the twain should not meet.

Dallas-Fort Worth Mexican-American man here, ultra-conservative. Love and prefer the Traditional Latin Mass over Novus Ordo. Have been delighted to see my parish growing in numbers with younger people especially this year alone. 🙏✝️🇻🇦

Great vid!

Well said

The Catholic Church distinguishes between “theological error” and “critical error”. If the Church declares a translation to be “free of theological error” this means that the reader will not be led astray in reading it. The term “critical error” refers to better Biblical scholarship which discloses errors in existing translations, for example when the Dead Sea Scrolls provided more accurate original texts. All translations which have, in the past, been declared by the Church to be “free from theological error” may still be read by Catholics. These include the original Vulgate, the revised Vulgate, the Douay-Rheims, the Knox, the Jerusalem (1966 edn) the RSV (1946/52) the second edition of the RSV (1971) the NRSV and the ESV. These last mentioned translations are, of course, simply revisions of the KJV. The editions approved the the Church do, of course, include all 73 books.

I am not an image venerator such as yourself, but I will answer your question. Yes, Christians believe that "salvation" comes by faith only. After one is saved (grace through faith), then one walks in total obedience to Christ and the gospel. On a side note, we do not accept man-made traditions coming from anybody.
