@@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.

Oh Fr Chris I thank God for you. I am a Catechist and Sacrament Coordinator in Australia, and I have NEVER heard anything as wonderful as how you have put together the teachings of our beautiful Church!! I have been begging God to send me a Priest to teach me the TRUTH! Between your teaching on Divine Mercy, the Priesthood and now the Trinity, I couldn’t be happier if I tried!!! The biggest love I have had all my life is the Trinity. And now I can articulate it in this wonderful way!!! THANK YOU!!! and GOD BLESS YOU!!! Praise be to Papa, He is such an awesome Father!! Seriously this is just amazing!! How could anyone not want to be Catholic! WOW!! I am NEVER going to stop thanking God EVERYDAY!! I am definitely going to read Sr Faustina’s Diary. I did the Life Offering to Mary through the Marian Fathers many years ago and have renewed it often - and am now so very happy to see this wonderful next generation of such beautiful holy Marian Priests filling our world with such wonderful works. God is so amazing and Merciful!! 😊 I have tried to buy your books and other material often but because I don’t live in America the Marian site won’t let me.

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.

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.

Fr. Chris and everybody involved in the presentation of this “Explaining the Faith” video-talk series on you tube and other social media, THANK YOU again for all that you do for us, the laity!!! PLEASE, include in your prayers TRISTAN HICKEN, my 14-Yr old grandson (turns 15-Yr old in September, 2022) He was “baptized” in a non-Catholic Christian church when he was 7 or 8 yrs old and recently told me his willingness to learn more about the Catholic faith (I brought him a few times to mass during my previous visits with them). 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.”🙏❤️🙏

I’m thankful to be here. Unbelievable, I normally watch an hour or so. These past weeks. I’ve watched, listening to your inspirational words of everything! It hits home, on all aspects. I shared a minute of one of your talks with my son (who is married, has 2 toddlers of his own). I now live alone. I pray the Rosary first thing in the morning. Pray for my grandchildren, my son & d.I.l. , praying my son & d.I.l. will “see” the importance of God in their every day lives . I’m keeping you in my prayers also. God remain strong within you , to open up our hearts with the true meaning of the Church, of God’s WORD. God bless you immensely.

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.

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.

I am so grateful for all of these talks. May God bless you and your church. One day, I was praying the rosary and walking to work. I had a thought and said, who IS the holy spirit, and immediately I received a response in my head that said, "I am talking to you now".
I heard this somewhere a long time ago: "where God is, the Son and the Holy Spirit follows... so wherever the Son goes, there the Holy Spirit and God also goes... and wherever the Holy Spirit is, that's where Jesus and God is too." end of quote. WE are LOVED. They can NEVER be separated. So, it follows that, since Jesus and Mary are inseparable, you can be sure The Father and the Holy Spirit is also in their midst. that is why we are NEVER alone. Amen.

I have really enjoy your classes. I am a retired RN. Your class for medical professionals answered many concerns I have with end of life issues. I am pro-life from conception to end of natural death. When my mother-in-law was dying she suffered for 11 days in a coma without any fluids. We could not understand what was keeping her a live. I prayed the Lord would take her home. A friend suggested that I say the Act of Contrition for her. After I prayed the Act of Contrition and the Guardian Angel Prayer, God took her home. God blesd you!
