to livingbeings, the RSV and NIV Bibles at Acts 4:32 have "soul" and "mind" meaning the same: "were of one heart and mind" (NIV), "were of one heart and soul" (RSV) both referring to "... the company of those who believed ...". To in uncertainty believe is the keeping in uncertainty of belief of the inseparability and qualitative equality of thinking mind or soul and having faith heart. Soul/mind is a gift. Having faith heart is a need.

He's the classic example of someone who's not a hundred percent on board with us but pretty much gets what we're about and understands the good in it. But because he also gets a lot of our logical arguments for the existence of objective morality, God, etc., he's also intellectually open to courting them, and so he comes across to us as more genuine than many nonreligious people who give off an "Oh, I think you're nice but also stupid" kind of attitude.

If you read Clement I letter to the Corinthians, you will see Catholic tradition on the grace of God for saving those who have faith in Jesus.

Justin Martyr wrote First Apology, which talks about the Eucharist being the real presence and how it is revered in mass on Sunday the Lords day. Those and many more church father writings show how the early Christian’s practiced and their writings show the traditions that the apostles taught which are what the Catholic Church do to this day.

to Jenny Anzaldua, I appreciate and thank you for your post response on help from Jordan Peterson. For me the Catholic Church is a procreation gift role helper of families in their members' identity-roles. I do not believe (in uncertainty as all belief by definition is in uncertainty, otherwise it is knowing) one can be "converted into the Catholic Church" as a procreation gift role. I believe that the Catholic Church and Catholicism are not family member/group identities in need of union but instead are procreation gift roles. Particularly on 17 June 2021, Pope Francis in his identity role as a consecrated celibate married by vows to man in Christ by his consecrated celibate marriage's exercise of an absolute power of authorisation simultaneously authorised it ensuring and it insuring. This corrected this inversion of gift role and identity need both in Pope Francis' own particular case and in the general case keeping the inseparability and qualitative equality of these cases of: (a) embezzlements of his ensuring procreation role gift charity donations by ten of his Vatican state citizens/employees, including Cardinal Angelo Becciu (all convicted/sentenced of/for this criminal offence in his Vatican state criminal court on 18 December 2023 on indictments authorised by Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage on 17 June 2021), (b)an unacceptable risk of fraud on his insuring his family member identity as a consecrated celibate marred by vows to man in Christ in need of union at unacceptable risk of fraud by the Italian state Parliament "Zan" anti-homophobia bill then defeated in early November 2021 after a protest note against this bill authorised by Pope Francis' consecrated celibate marriage. best, Oliver Clark, age 77, anglo-catholic accredited catechist of roman catholic church gift role group religion in the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Australia, joined in consecrated marriages, male female from 1991 (8 children) then celibate from 2017 on the death of my wife, and continuing.

JP is no biblical scholar, so I'm sorry, but he should not have affected you in that way. He adds a lot that isn't there and ignores a lot that is. The bible has a mix of both good and bad, as we would expect it to if it were written by fallible human beings. What I cannot abide by, however, is someone denying the evil that's clearly in that book. "God" demanding the deaths of infants, that people do such killing for Him, is evil. It is simply wrong to defend the ancients' excuse for such slaughter, that a "perfectly good" God told them to do it. No, they did it for reasons no different than the other genocidal tribes of their time. One must suffer from extreme cognitive dissonance to call such barbarity "good".

I followed JP’s work since he became infamous in Canada. He changed my life. He was a raft in the sea of chaos I was in and I grabbed on and started to find my way. Then I became Christian (Catholic), also with his help, but I diverged from him quite a bit since then. It’s so wonderful to see him restless with the question of Jesus, (my own burning question that was asked right up front) then say: I don’t know what that means. It’s so endearing.

Story of my life 💯

[@noahstobbe9814]

I am a Christian of the baptist denomination who at this time does not believe that any particular denomination is "THE right one for everyone" but that an unknowable subset, proper or improper, of all who believe Jesus is the Son of God who died and rose again are "with Him". Not that I am saying this "selection" is "random" of course. We have the bible and the Spirit to guide us to Him. Whether Jordan is saved or not, I wholeheartedly agree that His humble admission of lack in full understanding of Jesus here is endearing and reveals my own perhaps vastly larger gaps in understanding. I accept and believe in Jesus my saviour and what He has done as fact yet have such a shallow understanding the specifics of what He accomplished on the cross in taking the wages of my sins on Himself, and precisely how I ought to respond to that (e.g., do I have to urgently recall and confess every sin in life as a prerequisite to join Him after death, or is (continual) confession not a prerequisite but simply a call to become accountable to fellow believers to help me to stop sinning so that, through His Spirit, I can grow to become more Christ-like, uninhibited, so that I can then more accurately present Christ to the world, so that others can see through my depraved nature to His true beauty? Sometimes I feel that the former potentially does not give Christ enough credit for His ultimate sacrifice.). The whole Christian denomination thing and one denomination saying they are more right than others has me worried. Worried if they're right because what does that mean for everyone else? Worried if they're wrong because, then, why do they say that and what are the consequences for those who believe them? Worried that I am in the wrong because Philippians 4:6 says not to worry lol.

I don't know if Dr. Petersen reads the comments. But I've always found this analogy helpful regarding why we are here on Earth, even though Christ made the ultimate Sacrifice for our sins. When I was about 10 years old, I got really made and punched my parents' screen door several times, breaking the glass on the other side of the screen. Being 10, I had no money to repair the door, and so my parents paid for the repairs for me. But I was still responsible for what happened, and I did chores and punishment to make up for it. In the same way, we have no way of repaying the damage of original sin and opening the seal of Eden ourselves. So Jesus did it for us. But we are still responsible for our sinful nature and must spend our lives to know, love, and serve God in return.

[@suzannemcmaken4648]

HEBREWS 8:12. “For I will FORGIVE their inequities AND REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.” God doesn’t remember your sins. The sin debt has been paid fully. Believers are told to rest in Christ, MATTHEW 11:28-30. Jesus did it ALL.

[@ToddJambon]

@suzannemcmaken4648 Just because God doesn't remember them doesn't mean you don't need to repent or do better. It sounds like you might be a once saved, always saved protestant.

[@eric_wood]

I grew up in a fundamentalist baptist church that taught that all you have to do be saved is to believe in Jesus, and I was also quite rebellious growing up so I used that claim of merely believing to justify that I can continue living in sin and so naturally I fell away from faith. As an adult I realized that I need to pursue a life of virtue in order to adequately become a man (and a husband and father), and this pursuit of virtue eventually led to an encounter with Christ in my heart where I was very much wrestling with God because I habituated so much sin in my life. Long story short, this led me to the Orthodox Church where I am now a baptized Orthodox Christian. In the Orthodox faith there is a strong emphasis on being co-crucified with Christ and being United with Christ through uniting your own personal outer and inner crosses with the Cross of Christ. This is perfectly in line with the Bible as Saint Paul says in Galatians ““For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” And so you see in Saint Paul’s expression of his own inner life with Christ that faith in Christ is not just believing in Him, but it’s dying to yourself, meaning that we die to our attachments to the world as well as dying to our desire for being attached to the world, and through this dying with Christ and being resurrected with Him. Meaning that the Risen Lord now lives in our heart. This of course must take place within the context of the Sacramental and mystical life of the Church. Dying and rising with Christ through baptism, being sealed with the Holy Spirit in Chrismation, and receiving Christ continually through the reception of the Eucharist. But it’s not just that either, we also must live the life of the Church out in our daily life through a daily struggle against our attachments and inordinate desires along with the life of God now working in and through our life, which sanctifies and transforms our entire being. I think this depth of faith is missed within various Protestant traditions, namely due to their lack of reverence for the Saints, the people who have indeed lived out this transformation in the life of Christ in them. The Saints proclaim the Gospel of the incarnation of Christ in their own life. They are the empirical data of and the proof of the resurrection of Christ. Take Saint Seraphim of Sarov as an example whose body shined with the Light of Christ, as Christ shined in the transfiguration on Mount Tabor. Or take Saint John of Shanghai and San Fransisco as an example who is known as a miracle worker of Christ even after his own death. These are people who truly loved their life as being crucified with Christ and can rightfully say along with Saint Paul that it is no longer I who live but it is Christ who lives in me and the life that I now live I live in the flesh I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. These are people who truly strove for virtue, and not only did they become virtuous, but they became a vessel of God’s life and through their own struggle and God’s life in them were able to transmit God’s life to other people that were looking for God’s love in this fallen world.

to eric wood, "merely believing" as in uncertainty (as belief by definition is in uncertainty, otherwise it is knowing) is keeping in this uncertainty in present moment in real presence the inseparability and qualitative equality of thinking action and having faith been. Such believing cannot be used to justify inaction or improper actions since thinking action with having faith been (or 'being' as misspelt) are its components. Consider who benefited by tax-exemption embezzlements and lower insurance cost by fraud by the masquerading of in uncertainty belief as faith in falsely purporting presuming separation and non-qualitative equality of thinking action and having faith been?

This dialogue really sent a lightbulb moment off for me. When Jordan talks about self awareness being no different than misery and negative emotions. I take that and infer that today’s society of young people are obsessed with the pursuit of healing oneself through self awareness and essentially creating your reality (manifesting and popular spiritual beliefs). Whereas if you instead don’t focus on “healing” yourself but allow Christ to heal and practice His teachings, be subservient to Him, your husband, to your family, you will be ultimately healed. This is huge for me because I’ve always considered myself extremely self aware and saw it as a curse but also a blessing but looking at it through this framework I see I’m disadvantaging myself by putting my focus on what I can do to save myself where I should be focusing on Christ and what He has already done to save me.

[@danserrano100]

The world need these three men as beacon lights in challenging confusing times personally and socially.

Love Father Mike, so goood ❤

It’s funny how they have this much extremely deep, sometimes so deep it loses sight of itself, conversation and questions, and Mike just gives a concise theological answer because the Word gives us these answers

[@ebinmatt860]

This is a gift! So much more than a box of chocolates or any form of hedonistic pleasure, that you have the three pillars of intellects who have interpreted the Bible in the best way they could, come together and have a discussion. Thank you Lord! We need this and do our bit on whatever we can because we can't stop here by just watching this. There is something more for us to do and spread the good ✝️

Only by God's Mercy does Jordan have the courage, and it's carrying so many of us forward on our trails.

[@AnimeUni-versed]

if something is deep, it moves you in more dimensions simultaneously. Peterson just blew my mind.

[@dsha2006]

Yes...and it has "layers." My artist wife was just telling me how she thinks things with layers of meaning are beautiful. That makes her want do them or create them.

[@Mashfan6507]

Three brilliant men together all for God’s glory. It’s a beautiful thing

This was an extremely transformative conversation, thank you. These conversations help counter balance the prevailing misery and shallowness of popular culture online. Can we please have more of JBP, Bishop Barron and Fr Mike.

[@lourdesgarcia5140]

Fr Mile and JP have set the world on fire. Keep it going and God bless you!

[@Erinb8185]

I'm not often proud to live in MN so the fact that Bishop Barron and Father Mike are here is a huge blessing. I hope that they can help keep the Catholic faith alive despite the many obstacles in the way.

Wow.. I never thought the Abraham story had clear link with my own reality. It has been just one of those stories I learnt in school and listen in mass. Now, I desire to read it and relive it. Thanks.

[@kjosemaria9373]

How explosive! 30 minutes flew by with the weight and substance of the discussion. Here is philosophy's new rockstars - Dr Peterson, Bishop Barron, Fr. Mike Schmitz! Dr. Peterson - I can attest to malevolence leading to trauma, and how dealing with trauma needs to be done in a deep and biblical language of good and evil. You totally nailed it. God bless you, Bp. Barron, Fr. Mike and all who bring the truth to this age and fore.

[@Elias-t1x]

Mike was the best here and he should have talked more. He speaks clearly and to the heart.

[@Yogagirl-bq4kw]

Unlike the other two. Peterson is a conversational narcissist

[@CedarRose7]

Pleasantly suprised to see this conversation. Timing is great! I have been following JP for 5 years now. Back last September, I joined an RCIA group and on my way to becoming fully Catholic in a few weeks. Father Mike Schmit's Catechism In A Year on the Hallow app has been so helpful in this journey

[@arlenismendez1090]

i love Fr Mike. he brought me back home to the Catholic church

[@PaulTheHermit77]

Hes in the videos I watch for my Catholic Catchumen class. I didn't realise he was on you tube.
