You should do more catholic and eastern orthodox dialogue videos. Shows the one holy catholic and apostolic Church in it's full glory

Beautiful. From His Cross He spoke to His Virgin Mother and the Apostle John, thinking of and guiding them with love and mercy, even as He bled from almost everywhere, and his lungs likely filled with fluid. Giving everything, He even gives us His Blessed Mother, as He calls John to see her as his own mother.

Please pray for me. This has been a huge stumbling block for me joining the Orthodox Church. Jesus having siblings would, to me, imply that Mary couldn't have been a perpetual virgin. Could someone please help me to understand this more clearly...

[@kevinjoseph2412]

But Ortodox made mistakes that said Joseph is widow. The brethren from His previous marriage. They are cousin actually

[@jimhealy4890]

Now, in God's view, we are all part of a royal priesthood to bear man to God and to bring God to man, which is the spontaneous issue of living out Christ and magnifying Him in our bodies! Oh how I love Him!

[@jimhealy4890]

The moment God's word is set aside every subsequent dependent thought or argument is divergent further from the truth.

[@jimhealy4890]

I was born into the Roman Catholic religious enterprise but as a young person was saved into Christ and out of the enterprise of religion by faith through hearing of the word of Christ. Praise the Lord! Jesus Christ is Lord!

@@danielsampong6607 the problem with your response is twofold: if you do out of your own ability what James prescribes as proper virtues then it is the works of the flesh, which, no matter how good nor how bad, can not satisfy God nor lead to the salvation of our souls. Secondly, the living out of Chrust as our subjective righteousness encompasses the intrinsic significance of the whole Bible, not just two verses.

In resurrection this only-begotten Son of God became the Firstborn Son of God and in this were we the believers included as the many brothers to Him the Firstborn

[@jimhealy4890]

There is no such thing as an earthly human head of the Church. In this the Roman Catholic religious enterprise is apostatic. Eph 1: 21 to 23 shows Christ as the Head of THE Church.

[@jimhealy4890]

Justification is by faith!

[@jimhealy4890]

Whilst the fact of the many brethren being brought forth in the resurrection of Christ to be the Firstborn Son of God took place 2000-odd years ago, when we believe we enter into the real-time experience of this divine fact.

[@jimhealy4890]

God became man in incarnation, in order to be able to take the flesh, in His case in the likeness of sin yet without sin, to the cross, in order to deal with Satan, and judge sin and to release the divine life. And out came blood and water...

[@jimhealy4890]

If we are not in Christ we are not approved by God. That is a huge problem.

[@jimhealy4890]

The pope is infallible yet fails in lust! Timothy tells us there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. This single verse decimates religious systems and organisation in entirety.

[@kevinbartolen5881]

You don't understand the doctrine of papal infallibility. It only means that the pope can't bind the church to an error. Nothing more, nothing less. The pope can make personal errors, commit sin etc. You also misunderstand what scripture means by mediator. Jesus is our only mediator in the sense that he is the only one capable of reconciling us with The Father. That doesn't discredit the existence of other kinds of mediators. When somebody preched gospel to others they are a mediator, when you pray for somebody you are a mediator etc.

[@jimhealy4890]

How does doing good by man's religious precepts constitute the true worship to God? It doesn't. Only Christ satisfies God. God sees us in Christ as our lived out righteousness and righteousnesses. This is the true worship.
