Thanks for sharing, Recently I had a respark to my spiritual faith with Jesus. I had a long falling out with conflictions of the Churches Teaching and my sexuality. I decided that I should leave the church. After a long and dark time in my life, I reached out to Jesus and retook him in my heart. Im on a path of repentance, and prayer as I sacrifice my deep personal feelings of same sex attraction and offer that up to the Lord. I picked up my cross and walking in his steps. This has been the feeling I have been looking for. I vowed to live a life of chastity and love. I missed Jesus and Im back in full force. I ordered the Great Adventure Bible and plan on taking the 365 day journey in walking with Jesus and his works. Hes coming soon and for the first time in a long time, I am ready for him.
Wow, great for you! That's a really hard decision especially with the culture currently surrounding same sex attraction and all that. I'll pray for you as you continue on your walk with Christ!
@@valerietucker7340 It took years of thinking about this. I originally reached out to my spiritual director and asked for advice. I was told if I really wabted to stay in good graces and partake in communion with the Lord, I had to chose him or me. I was ready and honestly, I was happy eith that advice. Thats what originally killed my fire and I left shortly after. I was caught up in my selfish thoughts and put myself first. It was after a life changing event that I realized I needed Jesus, I made the wrong decision and I needed to fix that. I retook Jesus in my heart and asked for his love and grace to fill me and forgive me for making that decision. In return I offered up what I greatly desired, a relationship and a life long partner, to him and said I promise to sacrifice this and live my life to your will. From that moment on, what I thought would make me sad and unhappy, actually gave me peace and reunited me with the Lord. Recently I got the urge to share my story, to help others like me, chose salvation and tell them that there is happiness in Christ and that the void we are all looking for, will be filled. If I could go back in tome and fix my decision I would habds down tell myself to chose God.
@@Tylers-College-Adventures That's a really beautiful story. And I know that you would like to go back in time and choose God, but maybe this was part of his plan. Because you had this big conversion you now want to share your story with others and guide them to Jesus!
LISTEN, the book of JOB shook me to my core! I was traumatised for months. Especially the part where Satan torments one of Job's friends. I was like ummm, is this supposed to be in the Holy Book? Once I reflected on it, it was life-changing though! Thank you for these lovely tips Father Mike. 🙂
I watched a Christian show called "Superbook" about Job and it was awesome and dang, he resisted every temptations the devil had to throw at him! You should watch it, it is very helpful to SEE what the Old Testament was talking about. I wanna be faithful like Job, to endure any kind of problems I have in life.
The Book of Job is a book about "A Time of Testing". Not a "test"; but a"time" of testing. When you get to the end of the book Job tells us what happened to him through this time of testing and declares: "Before I have heard about you with the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You." Job also declares that He received the peace of God. This world, at the end of time, will be placed in a time much like this. We know this by the church of Philadelphia (Revelation Ch. 2 or 3) "... the time of testing which will come upon the whole earth". When you read God's response to Job you see God questioning Job. He dazzles Job with His incredible knowledge. I mean our God knows everything. Absolutely everything. And we need to know that we have an enemy (Lucifer, Satan). If you notice Satan was doing all the horrible things to Job, his family and his friends, not God. Something that may help you: Michael Card wrote a song called "Job's Suite". It is a little long, but it takes you through the three phases of the book and I think you will understand the whole book after listening to it. God Bless!!!
It is important that we understand it because our Lord said that at the end of time "the time of testing would come for all those who dwell on the earth". Job went through a "time of testing" which is different from a test. He lost his family, his livelihood, his health. His friends were compassionate until they wanted to go back to their lives, then they just wanted to move on; but Job was still, as he put it, "sitting in the ashes and waiting for the Lord." So, they began to tell Job why he was suffering, so he'd confess, repent and they all could move on. But, Job states "God would not crush me for some 'secret' sin. Yet, though He slay me, still I'll trust in Him." But, God was not slaying Job, Satan was. Job obviously did not know this at the time. At the end of time, Jesus Christ will open one seal at a time: The four horsemen of the apocalypse: The antichrist, the false christ, will ride in as the savior. He comes as an "angel of light" but he takes peace from the earth, brings famine, brings death and then the saints who are still around are martyred. While Jesus Christ opens the seals and gives Satan the permission "to test all those who dwell on the earth" this is not God's wrath; neither is God doing it. It is Satan. The bible tells us that this false Christ is given "all the powers of Satan, by Satan." I'm sure you've heard "What evil meant for harm, God meant for good?" God says that we sinners are purified in fire, coming out shining like gold. This is what God means to accomplish. He said that He would give "great strength" to those who are His to withstand what they must withstand. But, Satan obviously, means it for evil. Just as in Job's case, evil blames God so everyone's anger is positioned on God. At the end of Job's testing, Job says: "No purpose of Yours can be thwarted ... Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand. Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." "I have heard about You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You. Therefore I retract and I repent, in dust and ashes." So what was given to Job? The peace of God; eyes to see (and ears to hear). Michael Card in his song "Job's Suite" says it best: "You are the storm that calms my soul ..." In Chapters 38-41 God simple is SHOCKING Job into the reality of who He is. Job is mesmerized by this response he seems to forget all his suffering quite quickly. At the beginning of the Book, God declares Job an upright man. Satan wants to prove God wrong. So God gives Satan parameters but allows it. I've always wondered why God would allow such a thing? But, when I read that "the whole earth would enter into a time of testing" in the end. I believe this is the book which will give wisdom to some people (As it says in Rev. 7:14): These are the ones who came out of the Great Tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. While most curse God and die (as suggested by Job's wife); others seek God and find their peace in Him as Job did. You want a WOW moment? In the song, again another Michael Card song, "Known by the Scars" put on by Blaze 25z: there is a video when the words are played "When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons" and you see the armies of God riding on their white horses behind our Lord, the only One with the sword, that will be YOU on one of those horses coming down from heaven with His kingdom as He destroys the evil with a breath of His mouth,.
When I was young I didn’t understand some of the stories. With age I understood more deeply and got the message within. Reading the Bible requires factors like maturity, world experience, meditation , the gift of the Holy Spirit, and instruction. I’m excited to begin the Bible in a year! With your rate of speech it’ll be a cinch for you. Hope my absorption can keep up. God bless this endeavor!
@Goliath 888 I had the same question and was told after his resurrection Mathew 28:18 All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. He did not know until after his resurrection after his perfect resurrected body all authority over all things was given to him now he knows
@Goliath 888 That's a tough question, definitely a verse people often discuss! I am no expert, but what my friends and I usually come back to when we discuss this is the fact that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. As God, specifically as the member of the Trinity associated with the Word and Knowledge, Jesus as the Son would have all knowledge - He is, after all, God. When Jesus became man, he became fully human, while also retaining Himself as fully God. As humans, our knowledge is inherently limited - we must learn, we must acquire. It is possible that Jesus was perhaps referring to His human nature in this statement - what is known by his Godly nature may not necessarily be known by His human one on earth, where he acts with a human will, thinks with a human mind, loves as humans do (but perfectly). This is how it is stated in the Catechism: 472 This human soul that the Son of God assumed is endowed with a true human knowledge. As such, this knowledge could not in itself be unlimited: it was exercised in the historical conditions of his existence in space and time. This is why the Son of God could, when he became man, “increase in wisdom and in stature, and in favour with God and man”, and would even have to inquire for himself about what one in the human condition can learn only from experience. This corresponded to the reality of his voluntary emptying of himself, taking “the form of a slave”. 473 But at the same time, this truly human knowledge of God’s Son expressed the divine life of his person. “The human nature of God’s Son, not by itself but by its union with the Word, knew and showed forth in itself everything that pertains to God.” Such is first of all the case with the intimate and immediate knowledge that the Son of God made man has of his Father. The Son in his human knowledge also showed the divine penetration he had into the secret thoughts of human hearts. 474 By its union to the divine wisdom in the person of the Word incarnate, Christ enjoyed in his human knowledge the fullness of understanding of the eternal plans he had come to reveal. Hopefully that helps! The Trinity in general is a very tough concept to begin to grasp - it is, after all, a mystery, and we can only pray to come closer and closer to an understanding of it.
@Goliath 888 Things that seem contradictory to us at first glance, or even after much consideration, cannot ultimately be that way. Much about God is a mystery to us - we are only human, and there is a whole plane of understanding that even the wisest of us may not ever reach. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try! It’s good that you have questions and are looking for answers - we should all be doing that. Things won’t always make sense to us - that’s where faith comes in :) There are many different explanations online worded differently than the one I just gave, if that helps!
I highly recommend to bilingual and multilingual people to read the bible in more than just their mother tongue. I do English/Spanish and it is so revealing! (Also may wanna consult different English translational and different Spanish ones as well)

I’ve had a very challenging 4 years. Through everything God has been present and working in my family’s favor. Through it all we are better off and more joyful today than we’ve been in 4 years. Today both of my children are safe. Today both of my children are happy. They are also both disabled. I’ve been struggling so much with God over this truth of our life. I had faith that He knew what was needed in our lives but I couldn’t get the “why us/me” of it all. Thank you for this video. “Grace doesn’t fix everything, it fixes what needs to be fixed.” I’ll before forever grateful to you for saying that and giving me a better place to hold my faith in God.

Thank you, Fr. Mike. One of your very Best short videos ever. You are right on about Flannery O'Connor. Wildly insightful, with not a superfluous word, morally challenging she is. I am referring here to her Collected Stories. No Hallmark pablum available in them or in the Bible.

@@frmikeschmitz9920 Thank you for your prayers and thank you for sharing this with me. I'm wondering what you mean by the woman? I will pray for you as well and thank God for this revelation. I will try to donate to the organization. This has helped my faith a lot in ways that I cannot describe. Happy Advent to you.
Looking forward to the “Catholic Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz”. Personally speaking, online resources such as Ascension Presents as well as Bishop Barron (as well as non-Catholic Christians like Kris Langham’s “Through the Word” and Tim Mackie) have contributed greatly to my understanding of the Bible. Ironically it is the Bible’s willingness to address the deeply complex and, many times, unfair reality of existence that gives its a genuine presence of authenticity (from my life’s perspective).

The bible is so deep like the books of wisdom and the order of how it was written. Breaking down the story of Job as 4 parts and how it foreshadows the coming of Christ the redeemer and how it also entails the difference in the reality of heaven vs the world's reality. The bible is such an amazing book of how the Old testament ties into the new testament and Jesus Christ is the bridge between the two. I am beginning to understand it and it does wonders to one's faith.
Thank you for this program. It is a blessing to me every time I listen. And don’t worry father Mike Even though you’re not 6 foot two you look tall and dashing on TH-cam thank you again

I appreciate your positive demeanor. I sense the peace of Christ in you Father, and it really does encourage me in these times. Not just "covid era", but im hitting seasonal depression, so to hear a man of God still so light and pleasant it puts ease in my soul. But for the content of this video, im so glad i met the uncomfortable parts of the bible early in my walk. My heart trusts that God is always good. Always.

Thanks Father Mike. I thought I was the only one thinking about why people were thinking that the bible was always a Hall Mark moment. What I understood when I was younger that it was the Book of Truth, not all happiness.
Thank you for this video it only made me more excited for the Bible in a year podcast. That will be my first time reading the Bible, and thankfully I will be understanding it.

Flannery O'Connor is really hard to take. I suggest reading Stumble by Heather King (recommended by my associate pastor). It's about her faith journey, about how everyday holiness is a struggle, that we all stumble but need not despair. Great lessons included without being preachy. I've read it two times, learning more each time.
I have such a hard time figuring out what’s literal, and what’s not. It’s so confusing. I also have a hard time understanding Bible jargon. People have to explain something to me or give me examples for me to understand. There should be a bible that is easily understood and explained.

I am learning about this in your Bible in a Year Study on Ascension Presents and TH-cam. I also learned about this on the Marian Press Podcast of Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year with Father Roesch. This, too, is on TH-cam. It is only 7 minutes a day. I am praying for you, please pray for me, a sinner. September 18, 2022
Oh, thank God for Wednesday. From like 3 o’clock on Central standard time I am on TH-cam watch just waiting for you to drop this. My sister-in-law calls me the stalker, but I don’t care I wanna hear what you’ve got to say rarely do I ever leave without learning something that I didn’t know. Having a question answered I was wondering about how did you know that ?Offering some incredible insight into something I’m going to need this week. However, you do it. I’m just glad you do. I have received some very special blessings this week, and I would like very much to send them on to others. several I send onto you for making every Wednesday just that much better wishing you a beautiful and joyful advent season.
Thank you Father for this video. One of the verses of The Bible that I have been afraid of for quite a while is where Jesus says " I will forgive all sins, but he who blasphemes The Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness". I have always been bothered and dreaded the fact that I may have said a blasphemy or may sin in this way and I will go to hell ☹️.
part of the unforgivable sin is that the offender is unable to confess, so if you are worried that you may have committed it then you certainly have not.
It all depends upon how Scripture is interpreted which can be taken out of context. I had a friend who hadn't received a Christian education even though he was Baptized in a Lutheran denomination as a Protestant. I advised him to read the Bible and he told me he had to stop because all of the genocide in the Old Testament. I told him you have to keep in mind of the times it wasn't only the Israelites who killed man, woman, and child even infants and pregnant women were slain but it was practiced by many peoples including the Pagans. The way things worked in those days a conquered people could either be integrated into society of the conqueror or if they were too much of a future risk which is why genocide happened back then. If the children lived and their mothers to raise them when these children grown up they would revolt against the conqueror in which they would be slain in revenge. It actually made sense which would prevent future problems.
I think in todays climate its important to have a strong theology cause protestant arguments can give doubt. This is reality in 2020. Most catholics arent very good, thats a fact, but those who convert know the faith very well. I think our own lost and forgot. Wish I had the answers
Yes Father, idom and phrases and translation, tradition this all plays to the meaning of a text, and when translated sometimes all of those aspects cannot be transferred into the translated language text. A faithful must go deep into the understanding. That's what it is there for.
Thank you I was thinking of what you brought up! But FYI the Hallmark channel just had a homosexual couple on it. So much for that anymore! I will love your Bible study.👍

Hi Father! Can you please share where the black and white photo of Pieta by Michaelangelo is from? Would also love to hear the story behind it. #AskAscension Thanks!!
I started the adventure 90 day bible reading plan in October. It has been very difficult trying to follow who is who and definitely very dark reading involved hard to remember I'm reading the bible!
Amen to that. President Donald Trump said, "We need help from the Boss!" He inspired me when he said, "In America, we don't worship government, we worship God." 🙏 Happy Sabbath Day, everyone! 😇
@@johnnylara7032 absolutely true. Yes, I saw video clips of that moments when he made that specific quote you mentioned. America should be proud of such a president. Too sad the liberals made him the enemy of the media, trying to get the young and tech trusting people on their side believing whatever they tell them. I don't believe in conspiracies and theories but if that isn't something like one world order then I don't know what is. In every country you have CNN and other TV channels that support the left, imagine what the world beliefs and how it can affect the reality when everyone lives their life believing in those. People don't have time to do deep research or historical dig up, or ciritical thinking. They fall for the simple but attractive slogans and themes the left bring. It takes them like a flood. God bless them. I am so glad you understand what's going on. And the president (Donal Trump) is one of the best in recent years. Certainly way better than Obama. A president who is not afraid of saying the core principles of the country is the right president by all aspects. Much respect. Thank you for standing for him. That's what good brothers and sisters do. 😊
With an ex protestant sola scriptura mindset it's quite hard to not get fundamentalist about the bible. I try to trust the Church as the keeper and preacher of the Bible, otherwise I would probably have fallen into despair because there's so much I don't understand.
One thing I found when I read the bible is the book is written more about God, than us. It is how God deals with humanity. God is holy and humanity is sinful. The more I read it, the more patient I view God. Some things seem to contradict or confuse; but after a time the books come together and the Truth starts to reveal itself piece by piece. They link back and forth; and back and forth. In the Gospel of John Jesus asks: "Why do you not understand what I am saying?" Then, He answers His own question, "It is because you cannot hear My Word. You are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father." Sounds pretty harsh. But, Jesus came to speak the truth, as so often He says "I tell you the truth ..." The truth will set you free from sin and death (not physical death, but the second death - the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14)). But, you must "continue in My Word..." If you give up, because it seems too confusing, then you will never "hear" the miracle of the book. But, if you truly want something, you go for it. So, just keep going. It is far more amazing then you could ever imagine. This is one thing that proves it is God's Words. All these different people, all these different authors, over all these thousands of years, and the miracle of salvation, eternal life, and the existence, love and righteousness of God and His plan are all truly contained in this one book. But, if you give up ... you'll never HEAR it. He reveals it to those who truly want it and keep searching for it as a :"Hidden Treasure" (Matt. 13:44; a "Costly Pearl" (Matt. 13:45, 46)

"There must have been no one righteous on the face of the earth." Explain to me how a bunch of 3 year old kids who drowned in the great flood are wicked sinners. This video echoes the sentiment "I believe that every word in the Bible is the literal truth, except for the parts that I disagree with. Those are just allegory." If the Bible says something I don't understand, I need to twist it until I can rationalize that it makes sense, no matter how ludicrous that gets. WHY COULD GOD NOT HAVE PRODUCED A SIMPLE, CLEAR, UNAMBIGUOUS DOCUMENT? I mean, he IS omniscient and omnipotent. Ife he can part the seas and turn Lot's wife into salt, writing a book that people can agree upon what it says and means shouldn't be too difficult.
I'm really looking forward to this podcast, I had a new years resolution to read the Bible this year 2020 but I kept getting stuck or had to take breaks because ’life happened’ I had new family members born, deaths in the family, the pandemic, etc. I signed up for the Jeff Cavins timeline course along with purchasing the great adventure Bible and it was a huge help but I am still on this journey to finish the bible. God willing, 2021. So far, I love my progress. I can't wait for this podcast. I even bought the Spanish version of the great adventure Bible for my Godmother.

I know I’m 6 months late but Fr. Mike there’s a scammer going by your name on TH-cam asking people for donations. I wanted to let you know just in case. Also great video! 👍

I would propose that the 6th and 7th things differ in that sometimes figurative can be about something being a symbol or phrase and othertimes the thing is is god saying something that its more about it being a parable. So if we arent understanding rightly what parts of the parable are figurative and literal and when, we could be missing out.
First of all if you dont pray you ain't goin to understand lots , I don't mean just 15 minutes you really need prayer . *The bible says and gives you a clue 🔎Jesus told his disciples Mark14:37,38 37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
I can tell you what it means the thing is I don't like revealing it over the Internet because there's a lot of bad people fakes and they use it to get money
When I first read through the Bible I watched the Bible Projects summary of the books. however as Protestants it does not have videos for the 7 deuterocanical books…

"Lot keep the purity in a place of promiscuity but couldn't in a place of solitude." If I'm not mistaken was Saint Jerome's quote. It's not because we had won a more difficult battle that a easy one should be won too. At least that was the explanation I got.
If someone could answer my question that would be great. So I have respect for the catholic church. I disagree with a couple of things: 1. Purgatory: To say we must atone for our sins by cleansing in purgatory is to deny the sufficiency of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. 2. Confession: In the catholic church you must confess once per year to have good standing with god. (Which I do not totally disagree with.) 3. Communication to god: It appears to me (I may be wrong) that to communicate with god in the catholic church you have to go through a preist. I would disagree because when jesus came down on earth he gave us the direct way to talk and pray to him. 4. Suicide: It is a teaching in the catholic church that you cannot go to heaven if you commit suicide. I find this completely ridiculous because jesus came to earth and died and took the punishment for us.
I began to wonder, what was the whole point of the flood and the arc if at the end of it all we still wound up with the same problems of a bunch of unrighteous people still being around. While I still do not fully grasp it, putting the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the same perspective helped me understand it a little better.
The Bible Project is fantastic for learning and understanding the Bible. Interesting video Ft Mike, check out the Bible Project, would love to hear your opinion on it.
I would not say that the Bible Project has a very Catholic view on the Bible. Both Tim and John are Evangelicals. They do try there best to be as nondenominational as they can and don't upfront claim any denomination. Great stuff, Tim's knowledge of the Bible is amazing. Im actually having the honor of sitting at the feet of one of his most influential teachers for him
Thanks for sharing, Recently I had a respark to my spiritual faith with Jesus. I had a long falling out with conflictions of the Churches Teaching and my sexuality. I decided that I should leave the church. After a long and dark time in my life, I reached out to Jesus and retook him in my heart. Im on a path of repentance, and prayer as I sacrifice my deep personal feelings of same sex attraction and offer that up to the Lord. I picked up my cross and walking in his steps. This has been the feeling I have been looking for. I vowed to live a life of chastity and love. I missed Jesus and Im back in full force. I ordered the Great Adventure Bible and plan on taking the 365 day journey in walking with Jesus and his works. Hes coming soon and for the first time in a long time, I am ready for him.
Wow, great for you! That's a really hard decision especially with the culture currently surrounding same sex attraction and all that. I'll pray for you as you continue on your walk with Christ!
Great to read, Tyler! :D
Maybe one day get yourself St. Faustina’s diary, too. :)
@@valerietucker7340 It took years of thinking about this. I originally reached out to my spiritual director and asked for advice. I was told if I really wabted to stay in good graces and partake in communion with the Lord, I had to chose him or me. I was ready and honestly, I was happy eith that advice. Thats what originally killed my fire and I left shortly after. I was caught up in my selfish thoughts and put myself first. It was after a life changing event that I realized I needed Jesus, I made the wrong decision and I needed to fix that. I retook Jesus in my heart and asked for his love and grace to fill me and forgive me for making that decision. In return I offered up what I greatly desired, a relationship and a life long partner, to him and said I promise to sacrifice this and live my life to your will. From that moment on, what I thought would make me sad and unhappy, actually gave me peace and reunited me with the Lord. Recently I got the urge to share my story, to help others like me, chose salvation and tell them that there is happiness in Christ and that the void we are all looking for, will be filled. If I could go back in tome and fix my decision I would habds down tell myself to chose God.
@@Tylers-College-Adventures That's a really beautiful story. And I know that you would like to go back in time and choose God, but maybe this was part of his plan. Because you had this big conversion you now want to share your story with others and guide them to Jesus!
Wow! May the Lord grant you enough grace to keep on the right path.
Thank you Jesus Christ praise you Jesus Christ.

I actually need that reminder constantly 😆
LISTEN, the book of JOB shook me to my core! I was traumatised for months. Especially the part where Satan torments one of Job's friends. I was like ummm, is this supposed to be in the Holy Book? Once I reflected on it, it was life-changing though! Thank you for these lovely tips Father Mike. 🙂
I watched a Christian show called "Superbook" about Job and it was awesome and dang, he resisted every temptations the devil had to throw at him! You should watch it, it is very helpful to SEE what the Old Testament was talking about. I wanna be faithful like Job, to endure any kind of problems I have in life.
The Book of Job is a book about "A Time of Testing". Not a "test"; but a"time" of testing. When you get to the end of the book Job tells us what happened to him through this time of testing and declares: "Before I have heard about you with the hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You." Job also declares that He received the peace of God. This world, at the end of time, will be placed in a time much like this. We know this by the church of Philadelphia (Revelation Ch. 2 or 3) "... the time of testing which will come upon the whole earth".
When you read God's response to Job you see God questioning Job. He dazzles Job with His incredible knowledge. I mean our God knows everything. Absolutely everything. And we need to know that we have an enemy (Lucifer, Satan). If you notice Satan was doing all the horrible things to Job, his family and his friends, not God.
Something that may help you: Michael Card wrote a song called "Job's Suite". It is a little long, but it takes you through the three phases of the book and I think you will understand the whole book after listening to it. God Bless!!!
@@Tom-iw3zh I agree with you, brother. I witnessed the Book of Job by watching it on Superbook. Satan is such an evil maniac as well!
@@Tom-iw3zh I still don't understand the book of Job. In your summation, what was the lesson for us as readers that the book of Job could teach us?
It is important that we understand it because our Lord said that at the end of time "the time of testing would come for all those who dwell on the earth". Job went through a "time of testing" which is different from a test. He lost his family, his livelihood, his health. His friends were compassionate until they wanted to go back to their lives, then they just wanted to move on; but Job was still, as he put it, "sitting in the ashes and waiting for the Lord." So, they began to tell Job why he was suffering, so he'd confess, repent and they all could move on. But, Job states "God would not crush me for some 'secret' sin. Yet, though He slay me, still I'll trust in Him." But, God was not slaying Job, Satan was. Job obviously did not know this at the time.
At the end of time, Jesus Christ will open one seal at a time: The four horsemen of the apocalypse: The antichrist, the false christ, will ride in as the savior. He comes as an "angel of light" but he takes peace from the earth, brings famine, brings death and then the saints who are still around are martyred. While Jesus Christ opens the seals and gives Satan the permission "to test all those who dwell on the earth" this is not God's wrath; neither is God doing it. It is Satan. The bible tells us that this false Christ is given "all the powers of Satan, by Satan."
I'm sure you've heard "What evil meant for harm, God meant for good?" God says that we sinners are purified in fire, coming out shining like gold. This is what God means to accomplish. He said that He would give "great strength" to those who are His to withstand what they must withstand. But, Satan obviously, means it for evil. Just as in Job's case, evil blames God so everyone's anger is positioned on God.
At the end of Job's testing, Job says: "No purpose of Yours can be thwarted ... Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand. Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know." "I have heard about You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You. Therefore I retract and I repent, in dust and ashes."
So what was given to Job? The peace of God; eyes to see (and ears to hear). Michael Card in his song "Job's Suite" says it best: "You are the storm that calms my soul ..."
In Chapters 38-41 God simple is SHOCKING Job into the reality of who He is. Job is mesmerized by this response he seems to forget all his suffering quite quickly.
At the beginning of the Book, God declares Job an upright man. Satan wants to prove God wrong. So God gives Satan parameters but allows it. I've always wondered why God would allow such a thing? But, when I read that "the whole earth would enter into a time of testing" in the end. I believe this is the book which will give wisdom to some people (As it says in Rev. 7:14): These are the ones who came out of the Great Tribulation, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
While most curse God and die (as suggested by Job's wife); others seek God and find their peace in Him as Job did.
You want a WOW moment? In the song, again another Michael Card song, "Known by the Scars" put on by Blaze 25z: there is a video when the words are played "When the kingdom comes with its perfected sons" and you see the armies of God riding on their white horses behind our Lord, the only One with the sword, that will be YOU on one of those horses coming down from heaven with His kingdom as He destroys the evil with a breath of His mouth,.
When I was young I didn’t understand some of the stories. With age I understood more deeply and got the message within. Reading the Bible requires factors like maturity, world experience, meditation , the gift of the Holy Spirit, and instruction. I’m excited to begin the Bible in a year! With your rate of speech it’ll be a cinch for you. Hope my absorption can keep up. God bless this endeavor!
The now word
I was just feeling this this morning, and boom, here this is. Always seems to happen that way.
@Goliath 888 I had the same question and was told after his resurrection Mathew 28:18 All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. He did not know until after his resurrection after his perfect resurrected body all authority over all things was given to him now he knows
@Goliath 888 also John chapter 1
Same here
@Goliath 888 That's a tough question, definitely a verse people often discuss! I am no expert, but what my friends and I usually come back to when we discuss this is the fact that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. As God, specifically as the member of the Trinity associated with the Word and Knowledge, Jesus as the Son would have all knowledge - He is, after all, God. When Jesus became man, he became fully human, while also retaining Himself as fully God. As humans, our knowledge is inherently limited - we must learn, we must acquire. It is possible that Jesus was perhaps referring to His human nature in this statement - what is known by his Godly nature may not necessarily be known by His human one on earth, where he acts with a human will, thinks with a human mind, loves as humans do (but perfectly).
This is how it is stated in the Catechism: 472 This human soul that the Son of God assumed is endowed with a true human knowledge. As such, this knowledge could not in itself be unlimited: it was exercised in the historical conditions of his existence in space and time. This is why the Son of God could, when he became man, “increase in wisdom and in stature, and in favour with God and man”, and would even have to inquire for himself about what one in the human condition can learn only from experience. This corresponded to the reality of his voluntary emptying of himself, taking “the form of a slave”. 473 But at the same time, this truly human knowledge of God’s Son expressed the divine life of his person. “The human nature of God’s Son, not by itself but by its union with the Word, knew and showed forth in itself everything that pertains to God.” Such is first of all the case with the intimate and immediate knowledge that the Son of God made man has of his Father. The Son in his human knowledge also showed the divine penetration he had into the secret thoughts of human hearts. 474 By its union to the divine wisdom in the person of the Word incarnate, Christ enjoyed in his human knowledge the fullness of understanding of the eternal plans he had come to reveal.
Hopefully that helps! The Trinity in general is a very tough concept to begin to grasp - it is, after all, a mystery, and we can only pray to come closer and closer to an understanding of it.
@Goliath 888 Things that seem contradictory to us at first glance, or even after much consideration, cannot ultimately be that way. Much about God is a mystery to us - we are only human, and there is a whole plane of understanding that even the wisest of us may not ever reach. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try! It’s good that you have questions and are looking for answers - we should all be doing that. Things won’t always make sense to us - that’s where faith comes in :) There are many different explanations online worded differently than the one I just gave, if that helps!
God bless
I highly recommend to bilingual and multilingual people to read the bible in more than just their mother tongue. I do English/Spanish and it is so revealing! (Also may wanna consult different English translational and different Spanish ones as well)

I’ve had a very challenging 4 years. Through everything God has been present and working in my family’s favor. Through it all we are better off and more joyful today than we’ve been in 4 years. Today both of my children are safe. Today both of my children are happy. They are also both disabled. I’ve been struggling so much with God over this truth of our life. I had faith that He knew what was needed in our lives but I couldn’t get the “why us/me” of it all. Thank you for this video. “Grace doesn’t fix everything, it fixes what needs to be fixed.” I’ll before forever grateful to you for saying that and giving me a better place to hold my faith in God.
If you really want to understand the Bible, follow the Bible in a year with Father Mike. It's GREAT!
Getting along biblical teaching with clarity of fundamentals makes God's will more feasible.
Thank you Fr. Mike
I appreciate your time
Blessings 👏
Amen, Father Mike. It all makes perfect sense. Thanks for clearing things up for me.

Thank you, Fr. Mike. One of your very Best short videos ever. You are right on about Flannery O'Connor. Wildly insightful, with not a superfluous word, morally challenging she is. I am referring here to her Collected Stories. No Hallmark pablum available in them or in the Bible.
I jus liked before watching 😁👍❤️
Jus for the community ☺️
I'm not a catholic but this was great! The face drew me in haha. I'll watch more from you :)
The ending was perfect! Am I so glad you were called for this father and can thank God that you are there taking care of God's young flock.

@@frmikeschmitz9920 Thank you for your prayers and thank you for sharing this with me. I'm wondering what you mean by the woman? I will pray for you as well and thank God for this revelation. I will try to donate to the organization. This has helped my faith a lot in ways that I cannot describe. Happy Advent to you.
Thank you Father Mike for, enriching our lives, and helping us to understand Scripture.
Happy Birthday Fr. MIKE. may the Good Lord bless you with many more!
Looking forward to the “Catholic Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz”. Personally speaking, online resources such as Ascension Presents as well as Bishop Barron (as well as non-Catholic Christians like Kris Langham’s “Through the Word” and Tim Mackie) have contributed greatly to my understanding of the Bible.
Ironically it is the Bible’s willingness to address the deeply complex and, many times, unfair reality of existence that gives its a genuine presence of authenticity (from my life’s perspective).

The bible is so deep like the books of wisdom and the order of how it was written. Breaking down the story of Job as 4 parts and how it foreshadows the coming of Christ the redeemer and how it also entails the difference in the reality of heaven vs the world's reality. The bible is such an amazing book of how the Old testament ties into the new testament and Jesus Christ is the bridge between the two. I am beginning to understand it and it does wonders to one's faith.
Thank God for Father Mike, I salute you Father
Thank you for this program. It is a blessing to me every time I listen. And don’t worry father Mike Even though you’re not 6 foot two you look tall and dashing on TH-cam thank you again

I appreciate your positive demeanor. I sense the peace of Christ in you Father, and it really does encourage me in these times.
Not just "covid era", but im hitting seasonal depression, so to hear a man of God still so light and pleasant it puts ease in my soul.
But for the content of this video, im so glad i met the uncomfortable parts of the bible early in my walk. My heart trusts that God is always good. Always.

Thanks Father Mike. I thought I was the only one thinking about why people were thinking that the bible was always a Hall Mark moment. What I understood when I was younger that it was the Book of Truth, not all happiness.
Thank you for this video it only made me more excited for the Bible in a year podcast. That will be my first time reading the Bible, and thankfully I will be understanding it.

I got two study bibles I never used. They were new to me decades ago and they are still like brand new. They will be used now.
Awesome, thank you
Flannery O'Connor is really hard to take. I suggest reading Stumble by Heather King (recommended by my associate pastor). It's about her faith journey, about how everyday holiness is a struggle, that we all stumble but need not despair. Great lessons included without being preachy. I've read it two times, learning more each time.
Amen :) I read then watch various commentaries to hear different points of views and get a broader understanding! Btw Love your videos father!
Always ask the Holy Spirit for discernment before opening the Good Book, "Come, Holy Spirit fill the hearts of Your faithful ..." 😊
I have such a hard time figuring out what’s literal, and what’s not. It’s so confusing. I also have a hard time understanding Bible jargon. People have to explain something to me or give me examples for me to understand. There should be a bible that is easily understood and explained.

I am learning about this in your Bible in a Year Study on Ascension Presents and TH-cam. I also learned about this on the Marian Press Podcast of Saint Faustina’s Diary in a Year with Father Roesch. This, too, is on TH-cam. It is only 7 minutes a day.
I am praying for you, please pray for me, a sinner.
September 18, 2022
The one time I read the Bible I got lost in a sea of names and stories I couldn’t make heads or tails of
Oh, thank God for Wednesday. From like 3 o’clock on Central standard time I am on TH-cam watch just waiting for you to drop this. My sister-in-law calls me the stalker, but I don’t care I wanna hear what you’ve got to say rarely do I ever leave without learning something that I didn’t know. Having a question answered I was wondering about how did you know that ?Offering some incredible insight into something I’m going to need this week. However, you do it. I’m just glad you do. I have received some very special blessings this week, and I would like very much to send them on to others. several I send onto you for making every Wednesday just that much better wishing you a beautiful and joyful advent season.
Thank you Father for this video. One of the verses of The Bible that I have been afraid of for quite a while is where Jesus says " I will forgive all sins, but he who blasphemes The Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness". I have always been bothered and dreaded the fact that I may have said a blasphemy or may sin in this way and I will go to hell ☹️.
part of the unforgivable sin is that the offender is unable to confess, so if you are worried that you may have committed it then you certainly have not.
It all depends upon how Scripture is interpreted which can be taken out of context. I had a friend who hadn't received a Christian education even though he was Baptized in a Lutheran denomination as a Protestant. I advised him to read the Bible and he told me he had to stop because all of the genocide in the Old Testament. I told him you have to keep in mind of the times it wasn't only the Israelites who killed man, woman, and child even infants and pregnant women were slain but it was practiced by many peoples including the Pagans. The way things worked in those days a conquered people could either be integrated into society of the conqueror or if they were too much of a future risk which is why genocide happened back then. If the children lived and their mothers to raise them when these children grown up they would revolt against the conqueror in which they would be slain in revenge. It actually made sense which would prevent future problems.
I think in todays climate its important to have a strong theology cause protestant arguments can give doubt. This is reality in 2020. Most catholics arent very good, thats a fact, but those who convert know the faith very well. I think our own lost and forgot. Wish I had the answers
You should always be putting yourself in situations that challenge what you believe. Hopefully we can strengthen you to know your bible
Very good!!!
The deuterocanonical is magical!
Yes Father, idom and phrases and translation, tradition this all plays to the meaning of a text, and when translated sometimes all of those aspects cannot be transferred into the translated language text. A faithful must go deep into the understanding. That's what it is there for.
Great video! Thank you.
This helps a lot because I have started to read the Bible and it hit me as dark too
Great video 🥰
Thank you I was thinking of what you brought up! But FYI the Hallmark channel just had a homosexual couple on it. So much for that anymore! I will love your Bible study.👍
Amen Amen Amen 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
2 Peter 3:16 - the Scriptures are difficult to understand and can be distorted by the ignorant to their destruction.

Hi Father! Can you please share where the black and white photo of Pieta by Michaelangelo is from? Would also love to hear the story behind it. #AskAscension Thanks!!
I started the adventure 90 day bible reading plan in October. It has been very difficult trying to follow who is who and definitely very dark reading involved hard to remember I'm reading the bible!
Imagine how Jesus handled everything in so cool way... Like the boss! Cause He IS the boss....
Amen to that. President Donald Trump said, "We need help from the Boss!" He inspired me when he said, "In America, we don't worship government, we worship God." 🙏 Happy Sabbath Day, everyone! 😇
@@johnnylara7032 absolutely true. Yes, I saw video clips of that moments when he made that specific quote you mentioned. America should be proud of such a president. Too sad the liberals made him the enemy of the media, trying to get the young and tech trusting people on their side believing whatever they tell them. I don't believe in conspiracies and theories but if that isn't something like one world order then I don't know what is. In every country you have CNN and other TV channels that support the left, imagine what the world beliefs and how it can affect the reality when everyone lives their life believing in those. People don't have time to do deep research or historical dig up, or ciritical thinking. They fall for the simple but attractive slogans and themes the left bring. It takes them like a flood. God bless them. I am so glad you understand what's going on. And the president (Donal Trump) is one of the best in recent years. Certainly way better than Obama. A president who is not afraid of saying the core principles of the country is the right president by all aspects. Much respect. Thank you for standing for him. That's what good brothers and sisters do. 😊
The end of Judges really shook me.
Remind us about that. What happened?
Miss hibbins loves you
;)
With an ex protestant sola scriptura mindset it's quite hard to not get fundamentalist about the bible. I try to trust the Church as the keeper and preacher of the Bible, otherwise I would probably have fallen into despair because there's so much I don't understand.
Exactly my problem, understanding scripture.
One thing I found when I read the bible is the book is written more about God, than us. It is how God deals with humanity. God is holy and humanity is sinful. The more I read it, the more patient I view God. Some things seem to contradict or confuse; but after a time the books come together and the Truth starts to reveal itself piece by piece. They link back and forth; and back and forth. In the Gospel of John Jesus asks: "Why do you not understand what I am saying?" Then, He answers His own question, "It is because you cannot hear My Word. You are of your father the devil and you want to do the desires of your father." Sounds pretty harsh. But, Jesus came to speak the truth, as so often He says "I tell you the truth ..." The truth will set you free from sin and death (not physical death, but the second death - the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:14)). But, you must "continue in My Word..." If you give up, because it seems too confusing, then you will never "hear" the miracle of the book. But, if you truly want something, you go for it. So, just keep going. It is far more amazing then you could ever imagine. This is one thing that proves it is God's Words. All these different people, all these different authors, over all these thousands of years, and the miracle of salvation, eternal life, and the existence, love and righteousness of God and His plan are all truly contained in this one book. But, if you give up ... you'll never HEAR it. He reveals it to those who truly want it and keep searching for it as a :"Hidden Treasure" (Matt. 13:44; a "Costly Pearl" (Matt. 13:45, 46)

"There must have been no one righteous on the face of the earth." Explain to me how a bunch of 3 year old kids who drowned in the great flood are wicked sinners. This video echoes the sentiment "I believe that every word in the Bible is the literal truth, except for the parts that I disagree with. Those are just allegory." If the Bible says something I don't understand, I need to twist it until I can rationalize that it makes sense, no matter how ludicrous that gets. WHY COULD GOD NOT HAVE PRODUCED A SIMPLE, CLEAR, UNAMBIGUOUS DOCUMENT? I mean, he IS omniscient and omnipotent. Ife he can part the seas and turn Lot's wife into salt, writing a book that people can agree upon what it says and means shouldn't be too difficult.
I'm really looking forward to this podcast, I had a new years resolution to read the Bible this year 2020 but I kept getting stuck or had to take breaks because ’life happened’ I had new family members born, deaths in the family, the pandemic, etc. I signed up for the Jeff Cavins timeline course along with purchasing the great adventure Bible and it was a huge help but I am still on this journey to finish the bible. God willing, 2021. So far, I love my progress. I can't wait for this podcast. I even bought the Spanish version of the great adventure Bible for my Godmother.
Amen❤

I know I’m 6 months late but Fr. Mike there’s a scammer going by your name on TH-cam asking people for donations. I wanted to let you know just in case.
Also great video! 👍

I would propose that the 6th and 7th things differ in that sometimes figurative can be about something being a symbol or phrase and othertimes the thing is is god saying something that its more about it being a parable. So if we arent understanding rightly what parts of the parable are figurative and literal and when, we could be missing out.
I'm having trouble with the phrase don't go by your own understanding
Can someone explain to me what this means
First of all if you dont pray you ain't goin to understand lots ,
I don't mean just 15 minutes you really need prayer .
*The bible says and gives you a clue
🔎Jesus told his disciples
Mark14:37,38
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?
38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
I can tell you what it means the thing is I don't like revealing it over the Internet because there's a lot of bad people fakes and they use it to get money
When I first read through the Bible I watched the Bible Projects summary of the books. however as Protestants it does not have videos for the 7 deuterocanical books…
How can we contact Father Mike if we have a question about a verse from the bible?

deiverbum.org has commentary from different sources on any passage you search for. It's a great tool.
I found it disturbing that Lot's daughters impregnated themselves with their father. Could someone shed some light on that?
"Lot keep the purity in a place of promiscuity but couldn't in a place of solitude." If I'm not mistaken was Saint Jerome's quote. It's not because we had won a more difficult battle that a easy one should be won too.
At least that was the explanation I got.
If someone could answer my question that would be great.
So I have respect for the catholic church.
I disagree with a couple of things:
1. Purgatory: To say we must atone for our sins by cleansing in purgatory is to deny the sufficiency of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.
2. Confession: In the catholic church you must confess once per year to have good standing with god. (Which I do not totally disagree with.)
3. Communication to god: It appears to me (I may be wrong) that to communicate with god in the catholic church you have to go through a preist.
I would disagree because when jesus came down on earth he gave us the direct way to talk and pray to him.
4. Suicide: It is a teaching in the catholic church that you cannot go to heaven if you commit suicide. I find this completely ridiculous because jesus came to earth and died and took the punishment for us.
I began to wonder, what was the whole point of the flood and the arc if at the end of it all we still wound up with the same problems of a bunch of unrighteous people still being around. While I still do not fully grasp it, putting the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the same perspective helped me understand it a little better.
Needed to hear this
The Bible Project is fantastic for learning and understanding the Bible. Interesting video Ft Mike, check out the Bible Project, would love to hear your opinion on it.
I would not say that the Bible Project has a very Catholic view on the Bible. Both Tim and John are Evangelicals. They do try there best to be as nondenominational as they can and don't upfront claim any denomination. Great stuff, Tim's knowledge of the Bible is amazing. Im actually having the honor of sitting at the feet of one of his most influential teachers for him
