The Catechumen
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 เม.ย. 2022
Put simply, a catechumen is someone learning the principles of the Christian religion. After being introduced to the church fathers in December 2020, I began to question whether what I believed (then, as a Southern Baptist) was the historic Christian faith. After months of studying and growing, my wife and I decided to pursue full communion with the Catholic Church. We began attending mass in November 2021, started RCIA in May 2022, and were confirmed at the Easter Vigil on April 8, 2023. The goal of this channel is to foster a charitable environment that facilitates the free flow of informative content ordered towards enabling fruitful ecumenical dialogue between Catholics and Protestants and increased clarity on meaningful topics. I hope that, as I continue in my studies, I will never cease to be a "catechumen." We are all still learning and growing. So, I've decided to take you along to document my experience.

I a going to become a Lutheran priest and I must say that I loved this video. Im subbing!
Jeff Durbin is 100% spot on about the catholic pagan institution.
You use the verses in 2 Thessalonians to justify all the traditions of the Catholic church, even the ones supposedly taught by word of mouth. However, how can we be sure of any of these "word of mouth" traditions? What do have to measure them against? Themselves? Are we supposed to take someone's word for it just because they are from the past? No, we must still use the Bible as our guide. Unfortunately, practices like worshipping Mary are not supported by the Bible. If fact it goes a step further in that worshipping Mary is actively against the Bible. So, you should really stop doing it. I am only trying to help you. But, I can already hear your protests. You will say that it's not worship, even though you do everything that one would when worshipping someone or something. Building idol, praying to her, burning candles for her, serving the idols you make, promoting her to co-Mediatrix. It is all bad because none of it is Biblical. The Lord our God is a jealous God, he says so himself. And he has every right to be so, as there is none like him in all the universe.
Protestants! Stop arguing with the Catholics. They have a very hard time understanding the written word and refuse to think outside of their man made traditions.
Great video, I appreciate the content
As someone that’s in the process of leaving a IFB church and converting to a confessional Lutheran denomination, this was entertaining!
GOD BLESS U AND UR CHANNEL
John 17:21 "That ALL of them may be ONE, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. MAY THEY ALSO BE IN US SO THAT THE WORLD MAY BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE SENT ME."
2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 Man of Lawlessness 2 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit, or a message, or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT ACCEPT THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH so as to be saved. 11 For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12 in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. STAND FIRM 13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through SANCTIFICATION by the Spirit and faith in the TRUTH. 14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, STAND FIRM AND HOLD on to the TRADITIONS which you were taught, whether by WORD OF MOUTH OR BY LETTER FROM US. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, 17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every GOOD WORK and WORD. One Jesus' True Universal and Apostolic Church. 🙏🏻✝️♥️
the pope approves
Really a minor issue to explain it in detail. Cause justification apart from works is exactly Lutheran. It sounds like you say that's catholic. Then why did you kick him out? Rather focus on the calvinists and charismatics
NO the Catholic (roman) IS NOT the true Church Jesus said "I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH " HE was/is building HIS CHUCH and It is built of those who find and open the door to their hearts ,as in "IF you WILL OPEN THE DOOR "to ones hearts and life are then saved in beliving in the death and reserection etc IF any one is not born-again not saved but get saved and indoing so are in/part of the CHURCH IT HAS NO DEMONATION OR BUILDING !
( 2 Peter 1 20 ) Know this first of all that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, All the Sola stuff is actually not in the scriptures it ignores and goes against other scriptures.
Hey you did great man don’t sweat it. I’ve been in debates where I wish I could’ve said things differently (the Jay Dyer thing) so it happens to all of us Also sorry for talking so fast and being the Presbyterian Ben Shapiro 😂
That means a lot bro. You did great as well, haha.
Friendly debate I would say that was like two people after rollling
THE TRUE CHURCH IS THE ONE AND ONLY ONE THAT JESUS IS STILL BUILDING it IS HIS BODY MADE UP OF ALL WHO WILL FIND HIM AND ASK HIM IN TO THEIR LIVES those who get SAVED by HIM ! THAT is HIS church WITHOUT A NAME OR BUILDING !
And the bible says very clearly, that we have no way to know about those who are already dead. Life and death are separated, and only God deserves to get our prayers
I'm not a Catholic, nor a Protestant, but I do enjoy these conversations.
I’m a Catholic Convert in Oklahoma . Much love to the channel

Thanks for the forecast! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Are you the one true church? Shame on you Catholics.. You have been horrible stewards of your church, one scandal after another.. What is it with you Catholics that you can't stay out of trouble?? Jesus rebuked seven churches in the Bible, why the heck would he be pleased with any of you? All authority has been handed to the Son, that's zero authority left over for you and your church to grant anyone anything let alone salvation 😢
Protestants create their own interpretation where catholics dont

Even A.I knows it’s pagan. “Yes, many Christmas traditions have pagan origins, including: Christmas trees: The tradition of decorating trees with lights and ornaments comes from Roman customs and early Germanic tribes celebrating the winter solstice. The evergreen trees symbolize the return of light and life as the days get longer. Mistletoe: The Druids believed mistletoe was a healing item from the sacred oak tree. They would give the sign of peace under the mistletoe to people they met in the forest, and eventually people began hanging mistletoe above doorways as a symbol of peace. Caroling: A tradition that was part of pagan holidays. Wreaths: A tradition that was part of pagan holidays. Hanging stockings by the fireplace: A tradition that was part of pagan holidays. Other pagan traditions that have become associated with Christmas include the image of Santa Claus and decking the halls with holly. The origins of Christmas can be traced back to ancient Norse and Roman civilizations. At the end of December, people in ancient Europe celebrated the shortest day of the year with festivals for the pagan gods Saturn or Odin”
TheCordialCatholic comes across as super mean spirited, he should choose another name.
Honestly dude, you did great. I wouldn't even have known it was your first debate if that hadn't been mentioned.
Great stuff. Keep going!
Lessons learned brother. Take it in stride and move on. William Albrecht will be a great guest to have on for this topic.
Even IF you bungled this debate badly, it doesn’t matter. The truth is still with the Catholic Church. Our doctrines and practices are still solid and they help us live joyfully according to God’s will. The most important thing is having a loving heart. You already have that. Debating skills can be learned. Couple that with sufficient knowledge and you’ll be as good as Trent Horn!
This is all true.
Sola Scriptura is simply a stupid concept.
Thoughts on debating an eastern orthodox ?
Do you have a clip of the debate? In future debates, focus on the specific heresies (i.e., nestorienism, arianism, etc.) as justification for ecuminical reconvening. The protestant has a weak case
I say Let’s Go Brayden!
Thanks Brayden for your humility and sharing your weaknesses.
God bless you!!
Ave Christus Rex!
Considering that John described Gods atitude to the seven churches in Revelation as imperfect I would say, there is no true or perfect church. Relate to God in justice, mercy and walking humbly as He requires. Cant see much of this in these sorts of criticisms of other denominstions claiming the Catholic church is the only one God is happy with.
Welcome to the Catholic Church!
poor protestants, confusing God's revelation with a printed text, just to be able to propagandize anti-catholic bigotry... texts that they interpret according to their sectarian ideas --- Sacred Scripture is not God's revelation, but a divine attestation to God's revelation in Jesus Christ, received by the Church since the beginning in the teaching tradition originated by the apostles...
The problem is your not using scripture to make your point, but rather Catholic teaching which only proves Jeff Durbin's point. The reality is you say that the church fathers and the Catholic church have equal authority to scripture but cannot tell us why?
these pastor risk being rejected by God - liars and slandering people cannot inherit eternal life
Why does Rome have authority and not the EO patriarchs?
I never celebrated halloween in my entire life
