Confirmation in the Bible

[@Carlos-vg8cr]

Dr. Pitre, another incredible explanation! Thank you!

[@judyankuta8016]

Love to listen/watch Dr. Pitre. Such enthusiasm.

[@paulericn.mouafo6610]

Wow !! Pitre this amazing explanation.. as a cradle catholic and even confermed i've never got such clear and strong explanation of the confirmation sacrement. God bless you abundantly ..

[@jamesmonahan9408]

Thank you Dr Brant! This is the truth given by Jesus, Himself. Life long Catholic.

[@pinamawya1967]

Dr. Pitre... you are gift that keeps giving. Thank you so much for that explanation. May God bless you abundantly. Would you mind helping me out with something? How can one explain the immortality of the soul using sacred scripture?

[@markpeter1968]

the body decays or “break down into its component parts.” As Scripture says, “The dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it” (Eccl. 12:7). Because the soul is spiritual in nature, there are no “parts” to break down. Hence, the soul continues to live as a substantial, though incomplete, entity. It is in this sense that we say the soul of man does not die, while the body and the person do. www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/ellen-gould-whites-original-lie

@ how does it differ

[@D0csavage1]

@@nirmalcleetus8296 Spirit is the Spirit of God (God breathed life into Adam). Our souls are what animates our bodies. CCC# 362: A human being is both corporal and spiritual. Man first received his soul when God breathed life into Adam. Man as both body and spirit is willed by God. CCC# 363: In Sacred Scripture "soul" refers to the entire human person. Soul signifies the spiritual principle in man by which he is created in the image of God. CCC# 364: A body is "human" precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul. It is the whole human person, body and soul that is intended to become a temple of the Holy Spirit in the Body of Christ. CCC# 365: It is because of its spiritual soul that a body becomes a living human body. Spirit and matter in man are not two natures united but their union forms a single nature. CCC# 366: At the moment of human conception God provides the human soul. The human soul is immortal and does not perish when separated from the material body. The immortal human soul will be united with its human body at the final Resurrection Genesis 2:7: Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being. CCC# 362: The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. The Biblical account expresses this reality in symbolic language when it affirms that "then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." Man, whole and entire is therefore willed by God. CCC# 363: In Sacred Scripture the term "soul" often refers to human life or the entire human person. But "soul" also refers to the innermost aspect of man, that which is of greatest value in him, that by which he is most especially in God's image: "soul" signified the spiritual principle in man." [Matthew 16:25-26; John 15:13; Acts 2:41 in which Scripture defines soul as the human life of the entire person; see Matthew 10:28; 26:38; John 12:27; 2 Maccabees 6:30 in which "soul" signifies the spiritual principle in man]. CCC# 365: The unity of soul and body is so profound that one has to consider the soul to be the "form" of the body: i.e.,, it is because of its spiritual soul that the body made of matter becomes a living human body; spirit and matter, in man are not two natures united, but rather their union forms a single nature.

Hi Dr Brant, a little off topic but i have been trying to find in the bible on where does it say that Philip is a deacon. I came across Acts 6:3-5 where 7 deacons were chosen. Where does it say that the 7 are deacons?

[@AmericanBerean]

'deacons' is the term applied to those who would take care of the business in verses 1 and 2, in order to free up the bishops (apostles) to preach and teach. Thus, the seven men chosen to do that were deacons. The man in the office of deacon is specially ordained by a bishop, as in Acts 6:6, and down through time to today.

[@ericgatera7149]

[@RGTomoenage11]

I was confirmed by a priest, not by the Bishop. Is that valid??

[@nirmalcleetus8296]

In the vedio he also mentions delegated preist

[@CatholicProductions]

If the bishop authorized him to do so, yes. Usually this is done so only for a serious reason.

[@adamhovey407]

So was I, and yes it is

[@paulmiller3469]

@@CatholicProductions I'm not so sure about that. When you say 'a serious reason,' it kind of has a connotation of emergency. But from what I've seen, it's a simpler reason - one bishop cannot visit every parish in his diocese in a fairly tight period of time (kids aren't confirmed at Easter Vigil, but everyone prefers it be near the end of the RE year).

[@gilbertgarrido297]

But Philip isn't he a disciple too....higher than a Bishop?

[@MasterKeyMagic]

No, Bishops have the power to bind and loose, deacons do not.

[@tto7365]

It never says Peter and John are bishops. If that’s true How did they receive the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost when Peter and John hadn’t received it for themselves yet. And likewise how could they lay hands on themselves to receive the Holy Ghost

[@MasterKeyMagic]

Because Jesus gave them the power to bind and loose, not every believer. Also we know from the Church Fathers they were Bishops.

[@tonydecastro6340]

a scriptural basis for, but not a scriptural account of, confirmation. in the current practice, baptized children need to come to the age of reason BEFORE they are confirmed, and what that means as well is that, in the sacrament of confirmation, the baptized speak on their own behalf; parents and godparents (and the Christian community) no longer speak for the baptized child, but the baptized now in his or her own name speaks for himself or herself. that is what the Holy Spirit does in this case, ENABLE or EMPOWER the baptized to speak in his or her own name, and thus OWN for himself and herself the mission of WITNESSING... so yes Dr. Pitre is correct on the point of the sacrament, but he seems to have left out the fact that, in Catholic practice in any case, the baptized must have attained the use of his or her reason. in the early Church in fact, there was only the sacrament of baptism which, from our understanding of the sacrament of confirmation today, was ALSO the sacrament of confirmation because the early Christians were all adults. the sacrament of confirmation grew out of the need created by the fact of INFANT BAPTISM in the early Church...

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

Can you tell me the scripture that says "only adults" or "only child who is of reasoning age" can be baptized? If not, you are speaking hypocrisy. Because you are accusing someone of doing exactly what you are doing

[@user-fb2jb3gz1d]

And obviously you did not pay attention to Pitre in this video. He tells you about Philip, who baptized many people in Samaria, the Peter and John had to lay their hands on them, so the people could receive the Holy Spirit...... Acts 8:5-17 So there is your scriptural account of confirmation.

[@Racingbro1986]

Complete Bologna, there is no Extra receiving of the Holy Spirit, when you have put your trust in Christ you have the Holy Spirit not a limited dose. Your baptism is what joins you to the body, that’s it, final.

[@Bc232klm]

Confirmation should be after 18, when people are making educated decisions for themselves.

[@JackManhire]

Well, I'm in the Austin diocese and my son Will be 16 when he first has the opportunity to make his confirmation. Do pretty close

[@adamhovey407]

That's a terrible idea! In the east, it's done immediately after baptism. So, you think people should be adults when they are strengthened with the Holy Spirit? Look at when most Catholics fall away, that would make it WORSE.

[@AmericanBerean]

Yeah, opinions vary, but at any age it is a valid Sacrament. You are free to determine the age for your own kids.

@@adamhovey407 Sounds likeand you look like you might be a sicko apologist yourself. So fuckoff. I do not want anything to do with you. From 2001 to 2010, the Holy See examined sex abuse cases involving about 3,000 priests, some of which dated back fifty years.[11] Diocesan officials and academics knowledgeable[who?] about the Roman Catholic Church say that sexual abuse by clergy is generally not discussed, and thus is difficult to measure.[12] Members of the Church's hierarchy have argued that media coverage was excessive and disproportionate, and that such abuse also takes place in other religions and institutions, a stance that dismayed critics who saw it as a device to avoid resolving the abuse problem within the Church.[13] In a 2001 apology, John Paul II called sexual abuse within the Church "a profound contradiction of the teaching and witness of Jesus Christ"

Baptism should only be carried out on people who actually know why they are being baptized. It tells everyone that you have accepted Christ as your Lord and savior. There is no reason why you should need to be baptized a second time. Only heathens think that way.

[@MasterKeyMagic]

Thats an assumption no one made before 500 years ago. Confirmation is not a second baptism. Its a person confirming the Holy Spirit God gave them at Baptism. You're calling Peter and John heathens.
