came back to the church after reading ancient greek/roman philosophy, what amazes me is that the ancients knew that there was a Logos, a supreme Truth that governs the universe, and then came Jesus saying "I am the way, the TRUTH and life", no one in history said that

Buddha, Mohamad, Guru Nanak (Sikhs), all of religious founders, merely showed the way to God or Nirvana or whatever. None of them claimed to be God....but Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No one comes to the Father but by Me.”

weong Mohamad claimed he was better than Jesus. He denied Christ's divinity and that HE IS THE SON OF GOD. I personally view that angel who came to Mo was really the fallen angel, the eternal loser, the arrogant hater of mankind, satan and it was so easy to talk this person into establishing this cult because Mo was arrogant and in love with himself.

All the other men sought virtue and truths through out their lives by struggling and contemplating for them; the Lord Jesus taught and acted in the very Person of God, that is by His own authority He did what God does even though people knew and saw Him as a human person, before He is glorified. "On the sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astounded. They said, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him? What deeds of power are being done by his hands!" (Mark 6: 2)

@@newt1834 I'm not going to go on about the whole debate. But doesn't the Bible teach us that God desires that all men be saved? I don't think it's wrong to share that same desire. That's why we have that in some of our prayers. At any rate, I don't think we should condemn him, especially based on that alone, and if it is to be outweighed by his other theological point of views, his life-changing preachings or homilies, the people he has converted to the faith, and the people whose faith he has strengthened, among others. I'm sure he has led thousands to the Catholic faith, me included. Have we, me and you included, done anything close to that? If you really think that he's wrong, then pray for him instead. I've read some of the comments about him because of that. So many are full of hatred, which is ironic and hypocritical really (and I'm not saying that you're one of them by the way, don't get me wrong). Let's just pray for one another. Peace to you, brother!

@@newt1834 I've already said what I needed to say. Uh, then again, let me just add. I won't ever say that hell IS empty, and I don't think Bishop Barron ever said that either. As far as I know, he is simply hoping and praying for the salvation of all, or something along that line, just constructed differently. At any rate, please, let's not cause more division from within. No need to blow this issue up and keep repeating this here and elsewhere. I don't think it's doing the Church any good. And it's also not Christian-like to keep stirring this issue up. Like I said, from all the things that he's done for the Catholic faith, he's far more Christian, more Catholic than you and I. Let's just be more charitable and forgiving to one another, shall we? If he really has wrong understanding of the Scriptures on this matter, then pray for him. God bless!

Jesus Christ is Almighty God and the best way to Jesus is through his beautiful and Immaculate mum! As St. Louis de Montfort said there’s NO salvation without love and devotion to Mary. We Catholic’s the only true Christian,there are NO other,imitate Jesus in loving and praising Mary. Please watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then The Papacy can not be destroyed. Then a video entitled Don’t call protestant’s Christian. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps you have the Baptist cult,the Episcopalian cult,the Presbyterian cult,the Evangelical cult,the Methodist cult,the Anglican cult,the Cult of England etc. including the Orthodox cults.

We too have the one true🌏 creator incarnated in our guru's, it's a play of the almighty one true universal creator god around the globe, Jesus is the embodiment of the one true creator god but never was muhammad.

Jesus is God manifest in human form. He came FROM Heaven for the purpose of dying to redeem fallen mankind and then to take those who believe TO heaven. He rose again from the dead and now lives in the power of resurrection Life at the right hand of the throne of God in Heaven. Buddha is dead and buried. Muhammad is dead and buried. Plato is dead and buried. They were born, lived and died and if they did not find faith in God through Jesus Christ, then they are all lost.

Don't come here then. I don't go to protestant websites and make snide comments. Oh wait a minute - that's because I wouldn't know which of the 40,000 denominations to start in. Does the Holy Spirit say 40,000 different things? Yet all of you disagree with each other. Look around the internet - this "pastor" calls that "pastor" wrong or heretical. Pot calling the kettle black. extra Ecclesiam nulla salus - you separate yourself from the Church Jesus founded - Matthew 16:18-19 - then you're in the same boat as John 6:66 walking away, no salvation.

Well of Course. Christians hold that Jesus is god incarnate. Whereas Muslims, Buddhist and ancient Greeks held the other figures as very wise men,but men. Mind you the Romans considered Julis Ceaser had assended to become a God. The Greeks and Romans had various God / Men and Gnostic there 300 or 3000 thousand God's in successive order with Jesus in the lower ranks But does this fella care what other people feel. Isn't it only his beliefs that matter to him. It kinda doesn't matter in the slightest if there was a Jesus or not. And if there was he certainly wouldn't be using a Spanish name
