[@AddDati]

​@@DivineMercy_Official Your explanation differs from bible. You did not site any verse to support your story. It is very clear in the bible that Lord God is only one God who is our father. There are so many verses that God is the father of Jesus and not the family of Jesus or a group where Jesus is a member. It is also clear in the bible that Jesus is our brother because we are the children of God. John 20:17 [17]Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus, Huwag mo akong hipuin; sapagka't hindi pa ako nakakaakyat sa Ama, nguni't pumaroon ka sa aking mga kapatid, at sabihin mo sa kanila, Aakyat ako sa aking Ama at inyong Ama, at aking Dios at inyong Dios.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

@ADD DATI thank you but you didn't understand what was taught here. What was stated here is dogmatic Revelation by God. God bless.

[@AddDati]

@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you, another thing, I believe God is plural, because he has many spirits, 7 spirits, maybe including the power of God, which is the Holy Spirit. Luc 1:35, not only three. Jesus was chosen as the most special person. All of us are sons of God. Jesus was glorified to be worshipped not as God but as His Son. Just to clarify my understanding. For INC Holy Ghost is the power of God.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

@@AddDati thank you and God bless you but that is not the view of Christianity.

At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain. Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know? More than 20 years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven, the apostle Paul wrote: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord [the Father] so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) How is it possible to have “the mind of Christ” and yet not know “the mind of the Lord”-if the Father and the Son are coequal? This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles. The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.” When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-John 20:17; 17:3.

Fr. Chris, you are heaven sent to me and to a lot of Catholics out there around the world. I've long been wanting to have this kind of catechism class that would really explain the gray, mysterious, and controversial areas in the teachings of the Church. Your choice of topics would manifest that the Holy Trinity is with you; the topics are truly the ones we need to understand fully and remain faithful to our faith. So far, I've watched already six of your videos just this last week of April 2021 here in the Philippines and couldn't wait for more. May God bless you and keep you safe Fr. Chris and the entire MIC.

For sure, he still have questions about why he could not receive our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. I’ve been praying for his conversion (among many others) and this is a big step! I sent him a video of one of these “Explaining the Faith” video-talk series as a start. So hard to decide which one to send him first and I decided to send him the one to understand who Jesus is… then about the Trinity. We plan on meeting to discuss any of his questions. (I recently moved closer to them). I’ll be calling several churches around here and figure out the best way for him to “officially” learn about our Catholic Faith so that he’d be accepted or baptized as Catholic (I am not sure what type of baptism he received. I heard there are some non-denominational churches whose baptisms are not valid so I have concerns about his baptism). He really needs your prayers and I’ll forever be indebted to your kindness if you prayed for him. Please! Again, thank you for this education that you are giving us, Fr Chris. God bless you and your “crew.”🙏❤️🙏

At Mark 13:32, Jesus Christ said: “But of that day or that hour [of God’s coming execution of judgment] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But if the Father and the Son are coequal, how could the Son be ignorant of things the Father knows? ‘Jesus had two natures,’ some will answer. ‘Here he is speaking as a man.’ And, yet, even if that were so, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is the third person of the Trinity, why does it not know? A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And the “Holy Ghost” is part of the Trinitarian chain. Similarly, on an earlier occasion Jesus had said: “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son.” (Luke 10:22) Once again, what about the “Holy Ghost”? If it is a conscious part of the “Godhead,” coequal with the Father and the Son, why does it not know? More than 20 years after Jesus died and ascended to heaven, the apostle Paul wrote: “‘For who has known the mind of the Lord [the Father] so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 2:16) How is it possible to have “the mind of Christ” and yet not know “the mind of the Lord”-if the Father and the Son are coequal? This doctrine was unknown to the Hebrew prophets and Christian apostles. The New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967 edition, Vol. XIV, p. 306) admits that “the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is not taught in the OT [Old Testament].” It also admits that the doctrine must be dated as from about three hundred and fifty years after the death of Jesus Christ. So the early Christians who were taught directly by Jesus Christ did not believe that God is a “Trinity.” When Jesus was on earth he certainly was not equal to his Father, for he said there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Furthermore, he prayed to his Father for help when undergoing trial. (Luke 22:41, 42) Also, he himself said: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Because of this, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”-John 20:17; 17:3.

Fr.Chris Alar explained clearly the mystery or dogma of the Holy Trinity. I was more enlightened now than I was before in our Theology class in college with a Dominican Friar as our professor.

I do send now more and more of these wonderful lectures to family and friends . These lectures are strengthening my return to my Catholic upbringing that was very strong from very loving Catholic parents. I have been to Confession returned to Sunday Mass joined a Catholic Bible study group and say lots of Hail Marys and Act Of Contrition throughout day. Peace and Jesus and Blessed Mary and Holy Spirit continue to be with you and work through you.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you Mimi so much for helping us to share this important message of mercy. God bless you!

[@Mimi-ip9xc]

@@DivineMercy_Official your welcome, this must be a computer generated response at least o hope so because I would not want any human there taking precious time out just to give me a thank you. I worked for 50 years as an RN in so many capacities and received all the thank you comments from peoples eyes who were suffering , dying… babies , children who were fighting to stay alive and my ‘ thank you’ was in holding them and soothing them to a few bits and pieces of sleep. I have been a horrific sinner , mortal sins of Church Doctrines and Dogma and Commandments of God. I’m so tortured by those choices and actions and so aware of how absolutely blind one can become or how self willed and do things impulsively out of fear , anxiety , undisciplined selfishness it just goes on and on … All the while you keep getting messages,

[@DivineMercy_Official]

@@Mimi-ip9xc no, this is Father Chris and it is not a computer generated response. I'm sorry to hear of your struggles but know that we are keeping you in prayer. God bless you

[@benneal9309]

Meanwhile the bible says call no man father!!

[@benneal9309]

​@@DivineMercy_Officialyour well aware the bible says to call no man father too, your a disgrace, not only do you teach a false message and a false god you willingly accept platitudes!!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you, but then why did Jesus call him "Father Abraham?" The 10 Commandment calls someone other than God “Father.” What do you call the man who sired you?; The rich man called out “Father Abraham” to come and dip his finger in cool water (parable LK 16:24); St. Paul calls religious leaders “fathers” in Acts 7:2 and 22:1; St. Paul tells the Corinthians in 1Cor4:15, “I became your father”; a priest is a “spiritual father” w/many children; Jesus in Jn 8:56 said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Jesus meant that there is only one creator, or one true father, one “Abba”. As the commandment testifies, Jesus did not mean to never call someone father in one sense. Jesus meant we are no longer under the covenant of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob). We are now under the covenant of the one and only “Abba, the Father” Helps to know the history of Christianity.... that is how the theologians all explained it. I think they know better than you and me :) God bless.

[@benneal9309]

Theres your problem right there, you rely blindly on a false doctrine established by athanasius, the 3 errounous cappadocians and the well meaning but utterly corrupt Constantine and the trinitarian council of nicea, to establish your truth instead of the bible alone! Does not the bible say in 1st john 2 v 27 but the annoiting which ye have received of him abideth in you, AND YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: But as the same anointing teacheth you OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH, AND IS NO LIE, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. But your not taught by him, you went to catholic/ protestant school to get your papers, and your definition, and your sunday service, right??? Your faith is indefensible, first off the 10 commandments, which 10 the original 10 in my kj or the rubbish version you teach that drops the 2nd, descreates the 4th, and splits the 10th

[@yolandaaguirre106]

Thank you Father Chris Alar I am learning a lot! 🙏

[@loopsmunguia2765]

This is probably my second time watching the video and remembering you talking about your mother health. So today I sat and watched attentively. One specific comment you said at the end of your talk .. it was about reaching 100k Subscribers and then I went to verify how old was this video record it says 3yrs ago... and now I see you are st 430k subscribers!!! Praise God. I share as often as I can.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you!

[@drbel382]

Profoundly inspiring! Thank you and God bless you Fr. Chris.

[@JW-ip9bd]

Wow! Great discussion of the Trinity! Although I feel that this is truly a mystery, you have helped increase my understanding. Bless you Father. I am glad I found these videos, they have all been so informative. Many years ago I was aware of the Association of Marian Fathers because my Mom donated but I didn't really know anything else. When she passed away in 2001, I took great comfort in receiving many sympathy mass cards from her friends/relatives that came from your association. I set out to find out more and have been blessed to know of your association. Many Blessings to the Marian Fathers. Have a safe trip and prayers for your mother.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you JW... great to see you again. And thank you for helping our Assoc to help others with prayers and graces. God bless you and we appreciate you being a part of our Marian family!
