Conversion isn't daily for just Catholics, it's for all of us believers. I love you brothers and sisters.
Seeing Jonthan play the role of Jesus for us made me think. We all need to play the role of "Jesus" in our lives.
EXACTLY MY THOUGHT..✌✌✌
Welll put And amen!
Amen.
Wow you said that perfectly, we should all model our life’s after our saviour and be strong loving Christians, so that others may notice us as Jesus’ followers.
So true
I was informed by my choir director at church about The Chosen I have seen all 3 seasons and each time I am brought into closer relationship with Our Lord! Johnathan brings for me a deeper understanding of who JESUS is and challenges me to be more open to the prompting of The Holy Spirit❤
Three roman catholic actors who had a spiritual transformation since the role:
Jim Caviezel (Jesus)
Jon Voight (Pope John Paul II)
Jonathan Romie (Jesus)
May our bless them for their work.
superdavidss I listened to an interview with Jim Caviezel .and he was always strong in his faith ...during the making his first big movie the Count of Monte Christo, they tried to remove a Prayer reference from the script, he was having none of it ... the script writer said “ oh you are one of them “ .....to which he replied one of what, he also refused to do naked love scenes as he said it was disrespectful to his wife ........ Jim was very strong in faith before the passion of the Christ...he is a great guy !
When did John Voight played the Polish saint?
@@MillieonaVespa Ditto, was his speech when he promoted Paul, Apostles of Christ. He's strong!
Amen🙏🔥⭐️💫✨🌠
mary mulligan You are one of them. What a compliment.
I Pray Jesus Christ open everyone eyes before it’s to late.

@@mitchellc4 Jesus Christ is God. This is the Will of the Father, they are One and also Father and Son. Learn the Word of God and accurately discern it. It will change you.
@@kyleappleton9004 Who is Jesus repeatedly referring to as “my God”?
Rev 3
12 He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God; never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
Who is Peter and Paul referring to as “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”?
Rom 15
6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Cor 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
2 Cor 11
31 The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for ever, knows that I do not lie.
Eph 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
1 Pet 1
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
He was God in Human Flesh. Honestly it is Blasphemy to deny it. However you seem to Love God and have a faith and passion for him.
How then can we as believers of God condemn one another? We cannot. It is not our job, but to love one another as Jesus Commanded. Yet still, a Heresy to deny the truth and will of the father that the Son and the Father are ONE. Here are some Bible Verses that do prove this.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 - And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 10:30 - I and my Father are one.
Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
John 8:58 - Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
**This one is very IMPORTANT as it is from the context when he was speaking to the Pharisees, stating they do the works of their father the Devil, while he does the works of his Father, God in Heaven. His Statement is TRUE, Jesus Christ existed with the Father ALWAYs, how? Because Christ is God in the Flesh. Only God has only existed ALWAYS.
And there are Plenty more proving this!
The verses you use to prove otherwise Glorify the Father in Heaven as Jesus stated, this is true, and yes Jesus prayed to God A LOT, why wouldn't He? He was also a Human MAN who had to fight and conquer the temptation of SIN DAILY!
"None are greater than he who sent me" OR "I have come to do the Will of He who sent me, not my own." These also show Jesus glorified his father.
You must understand that Christ is perfect and in his perfection GLORIFIES our Father in Heaven and indeed does Pray to, and worship Him when he is here on Earth, why wouldn't he? Jesus NEEDED his Father throughout his life as a servant to Humanity while he was on Earth. BUT ALSO his JOB was to show Humanity how to pray and worship in the coming Church Age, he was preparing his SHEEP! Of course he would pray to God to set a perfect example and to teach! But also, he is the SON OF GOD, if I have a son he is a mere MORTAL born of SIN, IF GOD has a SON, which HE DOES, HIS SON IS GOD.
Jesus will return as a King and to Conquer Evil.
Through God anything is possible - therefore we must simply believe and understand in his Will, the Holy Trinity, etc...
Just because there are bible Verses that show Jesus referring to his father as "my God" is NOT proof nor support that Jesus is not God. The son worshipped the Father as the Son is the Word MADE Flesh, he was both God and Man, to deny this fact is certainly Heresy before the eyes of God, deny this and you deny the Father, because you are denying his perfect wisdom, will and sacrifice for us.
The ironic thing is the verses you referenced are simply Jesus honoring and worshipping and glorifying the father, again NOT proving Jesus is not ONE with the Father, to be ONE with his Father he would also HAVE to be GOD, the small samples I gave you PROVE he is GOD, as the Holy Word intends to inform us of.
He is the beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, how can Christ be the Alpha and the Omega (which clearly the meaning of said statement proves he is God) If he is not God?
You must understand that the same belief that Christ is not the son of God but only a prophet of God (found in Islam) and your belief that he is not God are blasphemy and works of the Devil, the Great deceiver as he is the prince and power of this world, he has been working to deceive humanity since his very first encounter with Eve in the Garde. Religion is false, worshipping in spirit and in truth is the way. Christ is trying to have your eyes and heart opened fully to the truth, just by our brief encounter here on youtube, I suggest you adhere to this calling as it will complete you in the faith and only taking your closer to the truth and his intention for you, he saved you because HE IS GOD.
@@mitchellc4 Also to answer your question, very simply... he was referring to his Father as "His God" I hope you read all of which I wrote, again you must understand the context of his statement "My God" Being uttered from the Word made Flesh, he was a human man also, not just God in the Flesh, he was BOTH.
I'm from a family of 13 children. We prayed the rosary on our knees every night. Parents loved Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
Im praying for you Jonathon Roumie always 🙏💖🙏💖🙏
What a stunning awakening you’ve had Jonathan.. self awareness and conversion unfolding in God’s time rather than our own ❤
As a messianic Jew discerning Catholicism, I really appreciated this. Blessings to you all!
My mother in law is Masionic Jweish, my father in law Muslim and Im Roman Catholic.... we have some very interesting conversations lol
Don't think anymore, become catholic, this is the church our beloved Lord gave us!!!!
Oh, you watch the Show?
Welcome Brother! Judaism is our root in Catholicism. 🙏
I recommend looking at Roy Schoeman’s testimony and videos, he was a former Jew who found Christ. He also has a book called salvation is from the Jews which explains the Jewish roots of Catholicism!
Thank you Dr. Scott Hahn and Jonathan for all you do. The Chosen has really helped my wife and me to discuss the scriptures more often. God Bless. Amen!
My family has always been orthodox for many generations, I was baptized orthodox as a baby. I went to a Roman Catholic school growing up. My parents became born again Christians when they finally had a supernatural rebirth through Jesus (I was a child when this happened). Never understood it until I called out to Jesus myself and he saved me from a dark path💛 I feel like a new person, I knew in that moment I was reborn and I was saved. Everything I read in the bible now feels like a message for me. It is so personal. I’m sorry but it is NOT a religion. It is truly a relationship with God. I hope you can hear my heart through this comment bc I know many of Gods children are lost and allowing the devil to deceive them. Don’t forget Satan knows every word of the bible as well. He is smart and can use your mind to alter your relationship with Jesus. Always keep your eyes on Jesus, never look elsewhere or you’ll be lost! It’s true when he said the path to heaven is a verrrrryyy narrow one. But I don’t think many realize how narrow.
Agreed 💯
Amen and Amen!
God bless you!
Religion literally means relationship with God though.
"Religion" came from the Latin word religio meaning "to bond" or "bonding" This literally means that we humans already have a connection or "bond" with God.
@@imgvillasrc1608 as you might have noticed, religion has become much more than simply a relationship with God. It’s become a way to separate believers into different denominations. That is my point.
I too thank you Dr Hahn and Jonathan! I was born katholic but my mother passed wh er n I was 9 and that changed everything.but since I have been listening so much to J on athanasius testimonies I am getting more interest in his faith specially a b out the Eucarist! I really want to experience that.I am asking God to lead me. I love you both very much in Christ❤❤❤❤
I love The Chosen. This actor does a fantastic job. It's interesting to see Catholics ruminating about the gospel and biblical ideas. I have honestly never met a catholic who wasn't just a cultural catholic, meaning none of them knew much about or read their Bible. My parents and my wife's family are catholic. I'm Christian. I love Jesus, love the show.
Catholic daily masses or daily bible readings surely ruminate about the gospel/bibilical ideas. Just because your Catholic wife and parents do not do it daily does not mean it's not being done. And Catholics are Christians, the 'original' ones. There is no bible without Catholics.
Dr. Hahn and Jonathan Roumie, you are strong influences in my decision to enter RCIA. God Bless you both 🙏❤
@Shirley Coonerty , Thank you 🙏❤
Welcome home, Cheryl. from a former evangelical protestant, the Catholic Church is really HOME, with fathers, mothers, etc. And once you're inside, it's far bigger and more beautiful than you ever imagined.
@@juanad5041 Thank you!🙏
@@juanad5041 My concern, dear sister, is that, by your words, you suggest our “home” is not in Jesus Christ.
A true, born again believer belongs to God and is in God - he/she does not belong to a denomination which is manmade, and often (Catholic or otherwise) denies the power that is in God through the Holy Spirit. I will pray for you. 🙏✝️🔥

I love his portrayal of Jesus, especially the qhimsical joyful side. How he conveys that he knows that the person he is engaged with is about to open their hearts and he is just so happy with that grin. The scene between him and Nicodemus is so great, I cried with joy thinking of how Nicodemus would have felt at that moment in the cover of night discovering the light of the world.
Thats my favorite scene...the one with Nicodemus where he truly understand who Jesus is( the Messiah) and realizes he’s standing on Holy ground

This scene brought tears in my eyes on how the eyes of the Lord Jesus will melt every fibers of my being with His unconditional love for me and humanity as a whole.
Thanks be to God for this indescribable gift! That of my conversion to the Roman Catholic Church in 2009. I’m so blessed to be a part of the fullness of the faith. Thanks be to God for His Mother Mary, ever Virgin and ever Mother. The Immaculate Conception. Thanks be to God for Her intercession.
As a cradle catholic, I also started to delve deeper into my catholic faith this year... 🙏✝️💜
I just so happened to stumble upon "The Chosen" the other week and I am totally hooked. This Jesus, "JR" has made a huge impact in my life. I see Jesus in a totally different way. In other words, more human with laughter, jokes, and down to earth, (no pun intended) that I can relate to. I couldn't do that with other movies related to Jesus. I love you JR, I love the way you portrayed Jesus which made me feel so much closer to Him...Thank you!!
PS: It is so nice to see you on here talking with Dr. Hahn....love you too, Doc.🤍

Conversion is a daily demand and it should be for the rest of our lives and to every Christian. Because sadly we are bad in our very core, tainted with the original sin. And we need to fight that, be good, answer to God's grace now more than ever.
Jonathans message about Christ transcending our need to WIN the Battle with our fellow children of God is so pertinent to our culture today!!! How often do we get into petty battles about this political, social and even religious climate we live in? Can't you just see Satan standing on BOTH sides goading and prodding and being absolutely gleeful about the CONFLICT??? No Jonathan, not a strange thing to share, but a highly important thing. If we could all transcend this conflict, how much better would all our lives be!!! Lord help ME to do this small thing that can play LARGE upon the world!!!
The Chosen made me to understand the humanity of Jesus more than His Divinity in His miracles..He blends so well with the human feelings of the people with Him...i can relate well now how He behaved with them in that era..Praise to you Lord Jesus..
The Chosen is the absolute best to bring us up close and personal to JESUS!
I have listened to and read S. Hahn since his conversion “tape”. I was with Lighthouse Catholic Media and AI for years.
My intellect is saying to me NOW IT IS TIME TO BRING IT TO MY HEART AND BE WARM, LOVING AND EMOTIONAL. CRAVE LOVE CRY WEEP SMILE TALK NATURAL TO JESUS!
GET CLOSE AND INTIMATE! THE CHOSEN is an awesome way.
God bless you both.

Gentlemen, with millennia of the RCC's horrible history (that continues even till today), I pray--PRAY--that you help change the RCC from the inside out! Please make it about JESUS, not Mary, not the "saints," definitely NOT the Pope, but the ONLY ONE who matters: Jesus Christ!
Jonathan's face to my Jesus
Watching The Chosen is really a meditation. It's adoration of the Lord. It's supernatural
I'm a 60 year old poorly catechized cradle Catholic. It has been long journey in my adult life to learn what the Catholic Church truly believes, and why. Astounding, how can I not proclaim the Good News?!
Listen guys .... come out of the Catholic Church they are not worshipping Jesus. They practice idolatry. Please read the King James Bible and find the truth don’t follow man follow Jesus Christ he is the only way
jkgrote Denomination was formed by men to separate us . As Christ a Christian we are followers of Jesus Christ just like the disciples were. We are not supposed to worship Mary or any of the saints. Jesus is the only way to God. There have been testimony of people we had a NDE and saw catholic burning in hell cause we are not supposed to worship any image. We have a living God that we supposed to worship and pray to. Also don’t pray to a man like you we only pray to God not man. Only God have the power to forgive sin. So please you pray to God from your heart and read the Bible and the holy spirt will show you and teach you. God bless you!
Denis Dominguez She did answer your question. She said denominations are manmade. It’s not about being a part of a particular denomination. It’s about a personal relationship with Jesus. This is what nondenominational means. Not manmade. Just the Bible. And I am a former catholic. It’s unbiblical and idolatry. No need to confess to a priest, you should NOT pray to Mary or any saints for any reason. Only God and Jesus. Period.
I have said my peace. We will all stand in front of God and be judge. I don’t want it to be too late for you on that day. Go read the Bible your self like I said Jesus is to ONLY way to God not Mary , saints or priest. We serve a living God not an image.
Denis Dominguez I do not know anything about Protestant denominations because I am not Protestant. I just believe in the Bible and am a follower of Jesus. The Catholic Church is very corrupt. I follow Jesus; not any religion with rules and traditions. God bless ❤️
He’s a good actor very good portraying our father. You will be blessed for this role.
Thank you for sharing that. Thank you for being up front and honest. Yes it is how He works, making us aware of our weakness and allowing Him to change us into becoming more like Him.
Actually, the Lord is saying it is ok not to win an argument, allow the other person to accuse you even to the point of shaming you, making you feel bad, make you doubt yourself, by no means accept what you can offer.
Rather, to not get entangled with the conversation.
Just focus on Jesus
Our place is not on this earth. Our real home is not here. We are GOD's children.SATAN hates us. This home here is trying to crush us down. That is why Christian or catholic whatever it is for as long in the name Our LORD Jesus Christ..remember what he say..We will be hated because we believe in his name. Walking with Christ is a suffering but a sweet suffering same with the DEVIL but,the afterlife, wow..GOD's reward to those who believe in Jesus Christ name..I'll say. We have to remember the life of Saints. Why a lot die in peace?
No sweet suffering with the DEVIL only with CHRIST.

Anger is not always bad. Anger demands justice .. something that is also important.
Absolutely!! Jesus takes us by the hand and leads us to His Merciful Love and then He wants us to show others through us that same Merciful Love. I think He wants us to Trust Him - Love Him - and To Serve others…. just like He did❤️
It’s called being on “fire” with all that is of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit! You can’t get enough. Even someone like me who was born into the Catholic faith but didn’t get on fire until my late 40’s and I wanted to give that fire to everyone I met. At 74 I learned translating that fire to people who are so into themselves and this liberal world that all the proof I could give them isn’t changing their hearts so I PRAY!🙏
Carolyn Rose 🌹 that’s it. Easier to listen to all the testimonials hard to pray sometimes Mary has been asking for prayer 🙏
“My wounds trying to resurface” What a profound statement. So blessed you said it, so blessed I heard it.
You Both are living saints Scott and Jonathan. I am strengthend and encouraged by your love for Jesus our Lord. Being a cradle catholic I should be ashamed of myself, that I didn't use the opportunities to become more and more like Jesus.
beautiful thinking...the respect, honor & dignity...at the worship services...is true!
"A family that pray together stay together " ❤❤❤
I am from a Roman Catholic background and was born again within the Catholic belief. But, for most of my former years, there was not a great encouragement for me to read the bible (the true word of God) for myself. Also, my understanding was that the Holy Family consisted of Jesus, Mary and Joseph; I have to say a resounding NO to that now; the true , the triune God, the true Holy Family, has to be, God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Finally, I have to say, that, as the ‘sign of the cross’ suggests, our prayers are to be directed towards our Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is our advocate, not Mary. I have always honoured Mary, and she is blessed of all women, for she is a handmaiden to the Lord. She is a wonderful example to Christian women; “Let it be done to me according to Thy Word”.I honour her and I know she is blessed, but that is as far as it goes.
God bless you both brothers; I know that the Lord has you both in the palm of His hand and I respect you both greatly.
But to be truthful, the time of denominalisation is over; the Lord is doing a new thing... ✝️🔥❤️
🙌🏽Yes, this is truth.
Amen sister in Christ. My testimony is like yours. I now have subscribed to your channel and I have a new youtube channel with more than 30 videos. Both my wife and I have videos. One video is the prophecies on Mary in God’s word and we have videos on the Lords Supper and how to participate in the Lords Supper kindly watch and subscribe and share and comment and participate with me in the Lords Supper.

Jonathan you are amazing playing Jesus
Wow! whatta story from Jonathan, so sensitive and sensible. His heart is in the right place.
It's amazing how God comes in after we invite him, and always exceeds our expectations. My heart felt as Jonathon spoke that our lord through the Holy spirit came to him and actually was preparing him for the part in the Chosen. The experience alone of our lord leading him to feel love for the world as a whole, was miracle in it's self. I battle with that all the time. I want to love everyone as Jesus does but it is such a hard task to achieve, especially the way the world is today, so divisive and as radical as it is. Jonathan has a beautiful soul and Dallas couldn't have found a better person with a heart as Illuminated as his is. Thank You Jonathan and God Bless you and your Family.....

I understand Jonathan's experience with a "wound resurfacing" completely. I really get it. Thank your, sir, for your comments, and thank you, Dr. Hahn.
I know now that I have always felt deep inside that I am not at all worthy to talk to the Jesus that has been portrayed to me all my life; the divine, stained-glass, detached and aloof portrayal of Him. What human being could feel worthy of approaching that kind of Jesus? So I would never even consider trying to talk to Him. I kept Him at arm's length. Prayers that are formulated are OK because they are not my words and the church deems them appropriate to say. But after discovering the Chosen and Jonathan Roumie's portrayal I feel such a sense of relief because I feel as if I could sit and talk with Him about my life and He would understand exactly what I was saying. Even if I'm just telling Him my feet are hurting from all the walking I did today. He knows what that feels like! He can relate to me, but he is also Divine, so He can relate to me AND save me and guide me and heal me. Jesus is everything for me now. I talk with Him all the time and the comfort that I get from that is immeasurable. Thank you to everyone involved in The Chosen from the bottom of my heart. Until you have a friend in Jesus you cannot understand what that means and what that feels like. It is precious beyond words.
- Christians shining in the dark through the grace of the Lord...... beautiful!
728 "It's not you they want, it's me." Amen, Dr Hahn. Thank you for all your books and lectures (I can't exaggerate how many times I listened to your initial conversion story on tape years ago. I knew it word for word. When you eventually meet the Good Lord face to face I am certain that I will be one of those souls upon which He explains you had a B E A utiful impact on. See you on the other side!
CAK'S Dad -- A light went on in my head, too, at that line. The truth of it begins at home, and now I know that, I can listen more discernably to what friends tell me. Thanks to both of you, my brothers in Christ

Thank you so much! Love from India 😁
Jonathan thank you for being so transparent, in sharing your journey in which you are experiencing your very humaness as we all do and how it is causing you to go to our loving Father to which has over come the world through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I encourage you to read Ephesians 2 in the Amplified version, (because of the expression) God is speaking so clearly through Paul of who we are as Gods people through eternity, and that He has taken off the limitations of how we can come to Him in so much intimacy (Jew and Gentle together/as one new man) with an identity in Him, created in us before time. A great book that I study along with my Bible is: A Time to advance by Chuck Pierce and Robert Heidler, this book talks about the Messianic church and how God has given us his order and how we are to live out our call in fullness through knowing our identity in Him! God bless you as you step forward in your!
Wow I think I’ve been experiencing the same thing. When you pray the rosary consistently I think you not only start falling in love with Jesus, but you allow him to take over and then you begin to start seeing with his eyes, thinking with his thoughts, listening with his ears , and speaking his words. It’s awesome
@Shirley Coonerty Can someone explain to me why Catholics pray to Mary? Is it Biblical? Wouldn't that come under the 2nd commandment (exodus 20:4-6)
Shirley Coonerty Exactly! We don’t worship Mary. She prays “ with us” and “for us.” I know there are a lot of misconceptions about that.
@Shirley Coonerty Yes but where is that in the Bible, as far as I know we are only told the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
@@AG-wh6jw I know you only pray to Mary, when I say second commandment I mean because I have seen people bow and kneel down before statues of her to pray which is pretty blatantly against the second commandment.
Kate if you don’t mind me answering it’s in John 19: 25-27
Lord Jesus I am really sorry for my sins ...M not happy with sins...please help me and please forgive my sins..please don't punish me in your anger because I use to fall into the sins easily sometimes...please help me please Jesus my Lord n my saviour..m sorry Amen.
@K Marina Chawang, Jesus took on Himself ALL the penalty & punishment for our sins (which, think about it, were all in the future at that time) so we could take off our guilt & shame & send the enemy on his way, so we can be healed, forgiven,& strengthened in the presence of our Lord Jesus. God doesn't want to punish me, or you, for our sins. He wants us to come to Him, confess our weakness & be cleansed of those sins, so we can live joyfully & victoriously! Confess your sins to God and plead the blood of Jesus over your weakness. God wants you to draw close to Him so He can be closer to you. Prayers sent for you, in Jesus Name. 💚🙏
I love this. We should always be deepening our relationship with Christ. Our journey isn't over till it's over. Never stop learning his love, and I pray to God I don't either.
God Love you so much ,so he chose to do his character ,whenever I see you ,I feel like I'm seeing Jesus .God Bless you All.
Jonathan was a great Christ. He brought the humanity of Jesus to life..
Great interview. God Bless both of you.

Love this dialogue and it's honesty.
Great conversation. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! I would love to see an interview somewhere with Jonathan and Jim Caviezel talking with each other about their experiences. Jim says repeatedly how much he has become a different person after The Passion movie. I never get tired of him talking about it.
Great interview with Jonathan! His acting is moving...beyond words!💜🙏🏻
St Paul Center host Scott Cahn interview Jonathan Roumie appreciate your videos Listening from Mass USA TYVM ♥️ Johnathan & Scott
Our biggest sins cannot compare the God greater plans for us. Amen! 2 Corinthian 5:17
WOW Great interview!!!
Yep. He hit the nail on the head!! Been there.
Hello Chicago.
Jonathan Roumie I love your transparency, humility and honesty. I can see your soul through your eyes and I see the Holy Spirit working in your heart. I know God has great plans for you, all you have to do is listen to His voice. I prayed for you right now and will keep praying. May God bless you and lead you through the way. I also thank and admire Dr. Hahn for his great work. I consider him to be one of the pillars of the Catholic academia. May God bless him. 😇✝️🙏
He said it, Jesus is about each of us. Period. He wants to love us, us to love him, it's a marriage, each of us personally. He married each of us personally. What he wants to do in us is secondary, it's a byproduct.
I tooootally get Dr. Hahn. I was Evangelical too, and am thankful for my formation. Also glad to be lead by the Holy Spirit to the fullness of the truth. “Can the Good News be *this good* ?” ❤️
Beautiful!
It's a beautiful mix. You'd like Keith Nester too.
Lori Bothwell yes! I follow Keith! Great conversion story he has 😊. I was taking part in the daily rosary he does before I was called out of quarantine and back to work, lol.
Melissa Eberhart stick with us watch later if you can
Helen McCann yes! As long as I’m praying, right? Was about to listen to him “unpack the Mass” before leaving for work now 😊
God is always calling us, it’s beautiful. Thank you both! 🙏Praise God!
Johnathan you in my life has changed me forever! I now have two great things in my life because of you. One I pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day & 2 the book you mentioned the other day as your favorite book, how to be somebody by Mark Mendes, has also changed my life forever!!! I have heard Catholic evangelist Jesse Romero and other priests talk about it but whenever I heard it coming from you I said I have to read this book now. I now make the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and this little power packed book part of my daily spiritual life! Eternally indebted to you 🙏
Your wanting to share your love for Jesus Christ is just one of many blessings that you will keep on receiving from Our Lord Jesus Christ
Im looking forward to see the Chosen. Its an amazing Movie. God bless you
How inspiring! I'm also rediscovering the beauty of my faith, and it's thrilling to know that others are as well! Let's go, Jonathan! Eyes on the prize, on to eternal life and the beatific vision!
We are supposed to walk as Yeshua/Jesus walked. He kept the feasts, the Sabbaths, the Commandments. He is our bridegroom. A bride learns her Husband, His ways, His likes, His dislikes. We do it because it shows Him we love Him
I know I experience conversion daily. Thank you Scott and Jonathan for your conversation. It was very helpful.
Love it!!
Thank you for this great interview with “Jesus”! I have been following The Chosen since day 1 and have watched it at least five or six times. I have given out cds to family and friends as a way of “evangelizing”. Can’t wait for season 2!
Beautiful Story💖! PRAISE JESUS🙌😁👑❕❕
God bless you both, wonderful interview, Jonathan you are beautiful as The Chosen's Jesus.
WONDERFUL VIDEO
BLESSINGS ALL THE WAY FROM MONTERREY MÉXICO :)
A fire burns within me 😳 always after the LORD tells me to try and be kind to my brothers and sisters 🤗 my advice is if your wanting to go to heaven to be with the LORD, be a Christian 👍 be baptized in water and you MUST be baptized in the Holy Spirit 😍 and when standing before the LORD on the last day, the only words that will save you is Jesus Christ from Nazareth.
Jonathan Roumie and dr Scott Hann , what a wonderful nourishing talk 😌!
I watched the show and it was so beautiful!!!! I can’t wait for season 2! My husband and I binged watched it!!! Come back soon!!!! I love to see people seeking our lord!
1. What does it mean to be an "evangelical Catholic"?
2. How does a Catholic get saved? What is necessary for salvation?
3. What is this Eucharist thing? Are they claiming a literal but undetectable miracle occurs? What's it do?
4. What is RCIA? (Yeah, saw that in a comment below. What is the 'I'?)
5. What is accomplished by repeating the rosary? What is the point of repeating this prayer? Is the practice derived from the Bible? Who is the prayer to?
Not even going to debate! Just want to know how Catholics answer questions like these. Hopefully someone will weigh in...
and the big one....using Mary and Saints as their intercessors when there is clearly only one intercessor between man and God and that is Jesus Messiah.
@@GazGuitarz have you never once in your whole Christian life asked a friend, family member, or even your pastor to pray for you for a special or urgent need? To offer intercession as St. Paul encourages us to do? The holy ones in heaven are our brothers and sisters, united to us as members of the Body of Christ and can also be our help for urgent needs. It's a beautiful thing to be part of this family with Mary given to us by Jesus as our spiritual mother.
William Drogo yeah but they’re dead, that’s a big difference. They cannot hear us, they are not omnipresent.
@@labae8728 Exactly, they are outside our timeline and cannot hear us. ONLY God hears our thoughts. Imagine if the devil heard our thoughts. He only puts evil thoughts in, that is bad enough. Dead people cannot hear our thoughts. The Bible is very clear that anyone born again is a SAINT. Not someone appointed by a church committee after they have died, who are now outside of time. Watch Star Trek THEY CAN'T HEAR YOU! lol
@@thedrogo3953 which part in the bible teaching that? Trust only God’s words in the Holy Bible.
It’s true we are thirsty for Christ.
God is calling all of us! It’s when we really listen that we can really grow in our Catholic Faith. Different ways, times, and places!
There are so many nuggets in here. Thank you both for your openness that is so relatable.
I’m blessed that I was born and raised Catholic, because when I was a child in Portugal about seven years old when I did my first communion I had this desire and passion for the images of Jesus or any saints that where in the church, I used to go to church sometimes by myself and I just used to stared at the images and I dint know what it was but it was a mystic feeling that only God knows specially when I used to take the holy Eucharist my soul was so flamed with love and happiness that nothing in this world really matter to me the only thing that I cared was to go to church and be there to the point I wanted to become a priest and my mom knew that I had this spiritual gift that god gave me but unfortunately after a few years when I was about 11 we came to America and that’s when the devil got me 😢 diferente country free of religion etc. so unfortunately I wasn’t strong, as I was becoming a young man I was more focusing in the things of this world now I know why Jesus says in the Bible so many times blessed are those single men and woman meaning priests and nuns who gave themselves or consecrate to the lord because they’ll be focus only in God they separated from this world and now that I’m older now I understand why I felt that way because I was in grace with Jesus I felt him in me in my heart, this is how God know gets closer to men it’s in individual in each one of us we will be in communion with him in our hearts 🙏❤️ So the great mystery of all Catholic Churches now that I discover it’s in every Catholic Church every time you enter inside you are already inside Mary’s womb just like Jesus lived for 9 months and in every mass we are celebrating the banquet of the Lord, every time the priest consecrates the Eucharist the heavens opens and the bread becomes Jesus in the altar and all the angels and saints are celebrating and adoring Jesus here on earth just like in heaven now when you read the Bible what did Jesus said to Peter that he will have the keys from heaven well he has the keys because we are connected to heaven and the church it’s Mary she is the doors of heaven she is the mother of the church the mother of all Christians, the woman in genesis chapter 3-15 and glorious queen of heaven and earth just like in the apocalypse 12 ❤️🙏
That's right. Love this words if anyone really could know the teachings of catholic church they wouldn't be fighting against us.
Godbless both of you..😊😊
Thank you for sharing this deep feeling- we all are weak and need that reminder that He wants us to live in Him.
I find the back ground of each man here very telling on where their focus is. Just something I noticed. God bless you both!🙏
I want to know when Jonathan and Jim are going to talk? Infidel is out and Jim has such an inspiring presence and an intensity that can not be denied. Jonathan brings an approachability and the tenderness that Dallas always talks about. What would happen if they exchanged notes?
That would be really interesting. Both are really good in their roles as Jesus
Amazing interview
Love you both!! I needed this. Can always use some prayers and help. God bless you both!!!
Es un placer leerlo .....y también oírlo.....gracias Dr. Hahn.
The flesh fights against the Spirit. We cannot live for JesusChrist in the flesh we can only do it through the Holy Spirit.
I’m watching Mr. Hahn and suddenly I realized that he looks like St. Padre Pio, at least to me! ☺️
Gracie Velazquez woah, I totally agree!
Yes! He does I see it too guys!
Poor Mr Hahn.
Helen McCann why poor? Cause he is starting to resemble Padre Pio now that he’s older. He is or was handsome when he was younger I suppose.
A G no I was just joking. Would you like to turn into Padre Pio??? I know Padre Pio was really holy. Big hugs no offence sometimes I just talk too much
Xxxx
Love this. "IT'S NOT YOU THEY WANT, IT'S ME!"
I love that you show so much personality in our amazing Lord, I love him so much my heart hurts , I want to be with him so badly, God bless you all
24 Questions for our separated brothers and sisters in Christ
1) How does you church interpret the bible? Historically/Plain-text? Context? Expository? Holistic?
2) What makes your bible interpretation more valid than other church's?
3) How do you know it is, indeed, the Holy Spirit guiding your church, pastor, or set of beliefs?
4) Currently, there over 40,000 Christian denominations. There are thousands that claim to be non-denominational. For example: Assemblies of God, Church of Christ, Church of God, Calvary Chapel, Harvest etc.. All of them use the Bible, and claim that the Holy Spirit helps them to interpret the Bible. Is it the Holy Spirit inspiring over 40,000 different messages that disagree with one another. Do you think that it is the Holy Spirit causing so much division amongst Christians? Or, is it a demonic spirit?
In 1 Corinthians 1:10 the bible tells us, "I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.”
5) At your current church, is the cross at the high center of the church, the pastor? If so, why?
6) Does your church constantly criticize other church's beliefs during their bible studies or services to emphasize on how others have salvation wrong and they've got it right?
7) Can anyone who can read teach the bible? What makes a person qualified or authorized to teach the bible?
8) Who founded the first Christian Church?
9) Who founded your church and in what year?
10) Is your church apostolic? Apostolic, meaning passed on by Christ's apostles for over 2,000 years.
11) What church(s) did your church break away from, and what was the motive?
12) What came first, the church or the bible?
13) Where did the bible come from? Who wrote it? Who had the authority to decide which books were to be included and which books were to be rejected?
14) The bible tells us, "so then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us." 2 Thess 2:15 Where in the bible does it say that scripture alone is to be used to interpret scripture?
15) What is the pillar and foundation of the truth? The church or the bible?
1 Timothy 3:15
15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
16) If one only needs to believe in the Bible (The Word) to be saved and the bible was not completed until 392AD, how did early Christians come to the faith, practice it and pass it on?
2 Thessalonians 3:6
“Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us."
1 Cor. 11:2, "Now I praise you because you remember me in everything, and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you."
17) If we can trust the Catholic Church to give us the bible, why can't we trust the Church to interpret it?
18) Non-Catholic Churches often argue that the Church that Christ founded on Peter became corrupt, and that therefore, reformed Christian churches were created.
So the question is: If the Church that Christ Himself established became corrupt, what makes anyone think that they can establish a better one?
Matthew 28:20
“Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
19)If the early Church became currupt, did Jesus not keep his promise?
Matthew 16:18
“18 And I tell you, you are Peter,and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. * “
20) Does Jesus Christ really hate religion? What does the word religion mean?
James 1:27
“27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
21)Some non-Catholic groups oppose a physical church and claim that the body of Christ is a composite of believers. Some are even dropping the name church and replacing it with fellowship or center. In Matthew 16:16-18, why does Jesus say that He will build His Church on Peter, the Rock? Did Christ want His Church to be visible or invisible?
22) Why do some denominations believe that we are saved by faith only? Where in the bible can we find the words faith and alone together?
Faith Without Works Is Dead
James 2:14-26
“14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
23)Many claim that the King James’ Version of the bible is the correct bible to use. They also claim that their faith is not man-made. Who was King James? What authority did he have to decide what books should be included in the bible? Isn’t it problematic that the KJV bible is named after a man who lived over 1500 years after Christ?
24)Who has the authority to determine what beliefs about God and the Bible are essential for salvation? Isn’t the entire Bible essential?
Apostolic succession is a sign of authenticity. Clearly, the apostles were not going to live forever to spread the gospel. Their writings and tradition were preserved by the Catholic Church. 1 Timothy 3:15
Obamalies100 John 6:46-66
New International Version
46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
Many Disciples Desert Jesus
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit[a] and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
Obamalies100
1Corinthians 11:29-30 “For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.” Where in the Bible does it say that the Eucharist is symbolic? Jesus speaks symbolically many times, such as when he says I am the light, the door etc. However, this is the only time that Jesus clarifies that he is not speaking figuratively. He says “Truly, truly, my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. If it were only a symbol why does eating without discerning matter? Why is it that could it make you sick? Why is it that some said that it was a hard teaching to accept and left in John 6:66? If Jesus was speaking symbolically , why did some disciples leave? He had used symbolism in the past when he was preaching. What made this particular teaching especially hard to accept?
@Obamalies100 Christians have always believed in transubstantiation. Please look at the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The belief that it is merely a symbol is new. Less than 500 years old. You did not address the verses I shared. Jesus speaks symbolically many times but this is the only time in which Jesus clarified that he meant it literally. If he were speaking symbolically, why did some say that it was a hard teaching to accept and leave? Also, you mentioned science. Could a scientist examine Jesus’ body and conclude that he is divine?
Also, keep in mind that the counsels and formal written establishment of doctrine are always in response to heresies. For example, Christians have always believed in the Holy Trinity, but in the year 325AD it had to be formally written and established in the Church in response to the Arian heresy.
@Obamalies100 I am not sure where you get your information from but google who founded the Catholic Church and it will show that Jesus Christ did in the year 33AD. The Catholic Church is the historic Christian Church. Constantine did not invent it. He simply made it legal to practice Christianity because his mother converted to Catholicism. What is the name of the church you attend? I can look it up and tell you who started your denomination and when it was founded. Catholic is a characteristic of the Church. It was the first Christian Church. All other churches are breakaways from Anglicanism and Lutheranism.
I mean this humbly, but why would we worship Mary instead of Jesus? Is that not Idolatry?
Yes amen!!
She was Jesus’s mother but she was a sinner like us. We only worship and pray to Jesus.
No Catholic--no priest, no Pope--will ever tell you to worship Mary. It has never been taught by the Church and never will be. It is a great misconception and a lie used to slander the Catholic Church.
*However, we do have the utmost respect and show the greatest reverence for Mary who is the New Eve, the Ark of the New Covenant, the one creature in all of human history chosen to bear GOD HIMSELF in her womb. There is no more intimate relationship between and a Creator and his creature, therefore there is no Saint in heaven who has a more intimate relationship than Mary does with her Son -- so we ask her to pray FOR us, as the Mother of the whole Church, (we are His Body, she is our Mother) on our behalf to receive the graces we need to follow her Son more closely. God Bless you!
William Drogo Mary is not the second Eve. Eve was married to Adam. Is Mary married to her son?
William Drogo Catholicism also teaches Mary became sinless. However no where in scripture is that shown. And even the opposite is shown, she brings offerings and calls Jesus savior. If Jesus is a savior or Mary she isn’t sinless, we are being saved from our sin and seperatiom from God due to our sin
I love your books, Dr Hahn, I've just finished the Fourth Cup. You've taught me so much. I'm now over 60, and a cradle Irish Catholic, yet my catechesis was so inadequate all those decades ago. Our nuns' religious knowledge classes when I was in secondary school consisted of us making up 'hymns' to pop tunes! We also had visits from seminarians who wanted to 'get down with us kids'- they made us cringe!
So thank you again, Dr Hahn, for explaining the Scriptutes to me.
I can relate to that. Sometimes , when I'm at the grocery store, or anywhere really, I'll look at whomever is near me and I'm like " this is my sister, or that is my brother, and I feel an empathy for them that I know is Christ speaking to me. God Bless.
