Why I Stopped Having Bible Debates…

[@earlwgreen]

As a protestant converting to Catholicism, this has proven true over and over again in my life. Thank you Father!

[@FatherDavidMichael]

Welcome to the family!

i'd say you should consult with God's Word first -- It proves catholicism isn't Christianity, Sir.

I have examined the Catholic Church's stand on the bible when I was challenged by the example of my Protestant friends in my teens. Im already 61+....and am humbled by her claims and challenged in my life to live up to it. It has been my most profound joy to embrace Jesus as my Lord and my personal Saviour in all my brokenness and healing through the years. I should, would, ought to have done better....yet I feel embraced and welcomed in my life through her Sacraments snd I look forward to Heaven as I press forward in Truth and Goodness and Right as MY 2000 year old Mother proposes in St Polycarp(died 155AD), St Ignatius of Antioch(died 140AD),St Justin Martyr(died 165AD), St Augustine(430AD), St Thomas Aquinas(died 1274), St Francis Assisi(died 1226), St Padre Pio(died 1968),St Mother Teresa(died 1997), St Bridget(died 1373),St Charbel Makhlouf(died 1898), St Peter Julian Eymard(died 1868), Pope St John Paul 11(died 2005), Pope St Paul VI(died 1978). Some of my heroes through thecenturies. They speak of Jesus my Lord through their lives like St Peter, St Paul, St James, St John and all the Apostles with Our Blessed Mother Mary. God bless. I will pray for you and your parents family tree throughout all time...may they be numbered among the Predestinate in Heaven by the Grace of God won by Our Lord for all men, throughout All Time. God bless.

[@lightescence]

Father, your video came at a perfect time. Thank you so much for giving such a simple and concise perspective on this topic. As I used to explain to others, sometimes having Bible debates would feel like we're throwing rocks at each other in the form of Bible verses, and at the end of the day, it might even be detrimental to faith as it could distract us from focusing on what's truly important or on what the greater good is, which is God. Sometimes, the path could seem really narrow but at least we're still hopefully walking in the right direction! God bless.

[@harryallenpearce89]

As a Protestant that became Catholic this is the most concise statement that will help a person understand the Catholic Faith. Anyone can make up what they think Scripture means. Anyone can do that. But there is a limited number of people that actually learned Christianity from the Apostles and got the correct interpretation from the horse’s mouth.

Father, I have a lot of respect for you, but the 45,000 Christian denomination statistic is very misleading. Trent Horn has covered this in an episode on his podcast but essentially the number is incredibly inflated due to the methodology used to determine what a denomination is. Otherwise, I 100% agree with this video.

Father I agree with you each of these denominations are convince of their beliefs according to their organizations only the holy Spirit can convince them otherwise

[@timewarriorsaga]

And you hit the head with few of my problems with religion in general. Cherry picking scripture, making the bible to fit one view. That and a few other things make it feel like people are more focus on religion itself than what religion should be about.

[@lep4685]

I’m a Catholic. And although I sincerely believe this priest means to do good, I also believe the Bible, is consistent through and through. If someone truly knows the Bible, it proves our catholic theology. But you do have to go back to what’s written there. Don’t be spiritually lazy, study the Bible in depth, and pray and meditate for a deeper understanding.

It is just useless... they ignore key points (eat my flesh) and pursue strange interpretation (the rapture) and just want to be right...

[@theodorebe]

We protestants eat the body and drink the blood. Catholics for some reason take that verse strictly literally while taking every other verse figuratively. We take it in its context, both why Jesus starts speaking that way (the crowds only want physical food) and what the words are that he speaks (spiritual).
