- Dr. Hahn spills the beans on Holiness, and how only God is truly holy, but through Him, by grace, we can also share in His holiness.

The “holiest” person I know is my 22 year old daughter who is a nonverbal special needs young lady. When you talked about the “still small voice” when God spoke to Elijah, I thought of my daughter. She has no use of her hands and has to be fed, dressed, walked, etc. When she does make a sound, it often sounds like a kitten. God made her this way. She is the opposite of this world’s definition of a “productive citizen,” and yet, there are no words for me to describe how she effects me, my wife, her three brothers, and all those who encounter her. She is able to receive Christ in the Eucharist and was confirmed this past June. I feel like a saint lives in my house! Her little face glows with the love of Christ. It is beyond me why God chose to bless me with this precious child. I praise God for this teaching Dr. Hahn! I sometimes grow weary, but God has used this truth you are speaking about to renew my strength.
It sounds like there are many saints in your home. Blessings.
Glory to God!!!
What a beautiful testimony! Thank you for sharing and God bless you, your daughter, and your whole family!
an Angel living amongst us.......the lowly will inherit the Kingdom of God
Thank you for sharing that, brother.
May God bless you and your family.
2 hours! Praise the Lord!
This channel makes my wife and I want to become Roman Catholics. We’re in a very tough spot church wise. Prayers are appreciated.
God Bless
Praying for you both.
May our Lord help you discern the path you should take.
So grateful for this. I had an “aha” moment when Dr. Hahn was talking about how we are supposed to work for 6 days and then rest on the 7th IN ORDER to allow God to work. And that was partly why the Pharisees were so upset with Jesus for healing on the sabbath; only God was supposed to “work” that day, so Christ was revealing His divinity to us once again in that moment. But it is a powerful lesson that I intend to apply to my own life and that of my families: on Sundays, I dedicate the day not only “to the Lord” but IN ORDER to allow Him to work in me. Praised be to Jesus Christ. Thank you both.
I let him work in me everyday. All day long always praying and singing in spirit during my labors.
Wow !! this is something we don't think about... yet so true and counterintuitive! We are indeed are made perfect in our waiting and resting in God's holiness alone!!
At what min is that part?
Yes!!! Me too, I was amazed🙌🙏🏼🙏🏼
The authentic Genesis 2:2,3 seventh day 'Shabbat' (Hebrew for the Sabbath Day) is not "the first day of the week." It's the day defined as "the Holy of YHWH" in Is 58:13 as THE DAY BEFORE the first day of the week, just as Friday (the sixth Biblical day of the week), is "The Preparation" for the true Sabbath (Lk 23:54-56).
Besides, Sunday begins six hours after the start of the first day of the week and ends six hours earlier.
Genesis teaches us that God's days are measured from sunset onward, through the morning, and back to sunset. Not as pagan culture keeps time, from midnight to midnight. "And the evening and the morning were the sixth day" (Gen 1:31 KJV)
The sanctified and blessed Shabbat, the sign of the everlasting covenant (Ex 31:13,16; Is 56:6; 58:13,14; 66:22-24; Mk 2:27,28; Heb 13:20,21) is perpetually from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, as was Jesus' custom. All things are delivered to Him (Matt 11:27) so He becomes LORD, even of the Shabbat He made to receive our worship. This is the one and only Sabbath within Jesus' yoke (Matt 11:29,30; 12:8,50)
Don't expect to experience the promise of Is 58:14 if not treasuring the specific day preset from Creation itself as an everlasting covenant in its own right (Ex 31:13,16; Is 56:6)
The blessing on THIS Sabbath of the Ten Commandments is immutable and incomparable (Is 58:14; Matt 5:17-19; Rom 3:31; 1 Jn 2:3-6; 5:3).
Its promise and benefits are non-transferable.
Sunday has none of the recuperative and regenerative potential of the Ps 42:2,4 Sabbath.
Israel only needs a one day weekend to be replenished, whereas we need two, because Sunday can't match the quality of the promised rest and refreshing God Himself experienced in Eden (Heb 4:1-11)
HUMAN tradition has no authority.
The tradition referred to in 2 Thess 2:15 is not HUMAN tradition. Look at Strong's definition of 'paradosis,' as 'Hebrew traditionary law,' meaning the Set/Appointed Times of YHWH, being perpetual, continue ad infinitum under the Hebrew New Covenant, as Is 66:22-24 makes so plain.
Mk 7:6,7,9,13 lays down the principle. Apostasy begins with repudiation of God's own ordering of time.
Sunday's MISUSE as a substitute sabbath by presumptuous ecclesiastical invention, causes the true Sabbath to be polluted by its DISUSE (Is 56:6).
Rather keep the Sabbath that's commanded by God as the amalgam of the one new man (Ex 20:8-11; Matt 12:8), and then meet on Sunday, not under false pretences in the guise of Shabbat, but acknowledging that Sunday is not what human tradition has made it out to be (He was raised on the first day of the week but neither institutionalized every Sunday as Resurrection Day, NOR transferred His Father's Sabbath to Sunday). Then we don't corrupt the truth and defile Friday evening to Saturday evening (Is 56:6), and ourselves, by misrepresenting "the first day of the week," WHICH EVEN JESUS' MOTHER AND CLOSEST HANDMAIDS DID NOT KEEP AS THE COMMANDMENT WRITTEN FOR US ALL IN EX 20. They rested their works (even embalming the Son of God in death, being unacceptable to the Father, as a breach of the commandment) "according to the commandment" (Lk 23:54-56; 24:1).
In short, Shabbat, coming around every seventh independently of tbe Jewish people and the calendar because it was made for mankind (Gen 2:2,3; Mk 2:27,28), is fixed by eternal commandment as the day between "The Preparation" (Yom Shishi, the sixth day) and "the first day of the week" (Yom Rishon, head of the working week which apostate Gentiles disavow, preferring the Babylonian Mon-Frid workweek). Shabbat is forever the day which Israel as timekeeper has preserved and which Jesus unequivocally confirmed in doctrine and practice (Matt 5:19).
Any other formula for proposing the identity of the covenanted sabbath is a "cunningly devised fable" (2 Peter 1:15,16) of a "seducing spirit" (1 Tim 4:1), as the genuine Mary, Peter and Paul fully concede. Apostasy BEGAN with repudiation of the Sabbath.
If we continue in this contempt for the indivisible marriage covenant (Ex 34:27,28,32), our sin WILL find us out (Nu 32:23), because Mary couldn't be holy had she not kept the Day the Father sanctified for all of us in the eternal House of Jacob (Lk 1:33; Eph 2:11,12) as His sign between us that He alone sets apart a people for Himself (Ex 31:13,16); Paul no less; and at no point does Peter's Gospel vary from Paul's (Gal 2:6-10; 2 Peter 3:16-18).
So, better to be divided by the truth (Lk 12:47-53) than united with the deceived, by trying to dignify a lie which told often enough, becomes truth in the eye of the beholder.
In other words, better to choose sanctification by the Truth of God and His Word (Jn 17:17,19) to find "the unity of the faith" (unanimity in sound doctrine - Eph 4:11-14) in two's and three's as a quorum sufficient to attract the reward of the genuine Presence (Matt 18:20), than "follow the crowd to do evil" (Ex 23:2), for God will not be mocked by His precepts being set aside, for whomsoever does so or who condones such deviation to the left or to the right, sows to his flesh and will reap corruption (Gal 6:7-9).
Prayers appreciated for myself … I’m in RCIA this year, and will be confirmed at Easter. Some of my closest friends do not support me whatsoever in this journey of mine. I cried for over twenty minutes today - the loneliness is real and heavy to bear.
I will say a prayer for you. I pray for you to find Catholic community where you are and hold on tight to Jesus. I was confirmed at Easter this year and my grown children are having a hard time adjusting. They are reformed Presbyterian (the way we raised them) so want to argue the Catholic out of me. I’ve found some good support in my priest and friends. Praying for you to walk faithfully in what God has shown you. Much love.
Forgive them, for they know not what they do...
I'm converting as we speak. will be confirmed at Easter. It's almost socially awkward. Almost nobody understands. I imagined it differently. The Lord will give you the peace of mind. As I pray for you, do the same for me.
Shilomonroe-donovan4, praying for you now! Look up! ❤️ The Lord is with you! He is for you! Make up your mind to not let the enemy have a foot in the door if family members want to argue it…Tell them that you love them, and that you are following your conscience and your heart as the Lord has set this in front of you. Continue to love and serve your family as you have before. I will pray for your joy and your peace to be visible to all those around you. I imagine I will be in the same situation very soon as I’m about to start RCIA classes myself. I’m thinking about typing some things out and making some copies and giving them to my family members who may be shocked, surprised or upset ,because there’s one thing I’m not going to do… And that is to feel like I have to argue my way through. The enemy thrives on strife. And I will not do it. The things that I am learning are too beautiful! I’m not gonna let anybody take my joy. Blessings to you! You are not alone! you have a cloud of witnesses praying for you! 😃❤️
Praying for and with you as I’m entering the Church as well this Easter. Try and connect with fellow Catholic faithful, it will help.
I was told today that if I leave protestantism and affirm justification by infusion and not imputation, I'll be committing apostasy. Please pray for me that I'll find the truth and have the strength to go where God leads me. I'm strongly considering both Catholicism and Orthodoxy and don't see protestantism nearly as valid anymore.
Hope everything has worked out for you, brother!
It's been a year
Are you still doing okay?
There's a video by Scott Hahn where he explains why he didn't choose Orthodoxy.
In my opinion, Scott Hahn is the greatest catholic theologian of the 21st century. Few people in the world can talk about the beauty of faith in such a brilliant way. Hahn is primarily a witness of the Lord Jesus, therefore his theology is full of the Holy Spirit!
Greetings from Poland!
May the Lord prevent the russian-ukrainian war from spilling into your country.
Greetings from South Africa
I can’t help but agree friend
Agree! God bless you, Dr. Hahn!!
He’s a convert to the faith. He was a Presbyterian Pastor and vehemently anti Catholic. I couldn’t agree more. He make scripture sing.
There's lots of theologians like Scott Hahn in the tradition he came from, conservative Presbyterianism. He makes mention earlier in the video about R.C. Sproul, who wrote a book called The Holiness of God.
There's a flare of presbyterianism that Scott has that is not found in many traditions. It's no accident.
Scott Hahn talks about the Davidic Kingdom, but forgets 1st 1 Samuel chapter 8, where the establishment of the earthly monarchical system is being described in negative terms.
Such an earthly way to think about temporal rule was not initiated by God, but a rejection of G-d, so I think Dr
Scott Hahn is off when it comes to the Davidic Kingdom typology.
He knows well and I think he focuses on things that suit his typological view.
Scott Hahn is a gift from God to the believers.

This is amazing. I love when Dr Hahn talked about Jesus wants to heal us from the FEAR of suffering. I fear suffering like none other.
Thank you so much!
I have pondered that soooo much since I first heard it. That phrase--and the theology behind it--is changing my life. I am a 40-year Christian but only 1 month old in the Catholic faith.
Dr. Hahn is such a joy to listen to, thank you so much for having him on again! I ordered his book, and the other book he recommended, I know that both will be enriching spiritually, as well as intellectually.
Just last night I took one of my closest friends to his first Mass (an extremely reverent N.O) naturally afterward he had a hundred questions regarding The Mass. I knew this would happen so brought along “The Mass as Heaven on Earth.” By Dr. Hahn. I had finished it just afew weeks ago, and massively recommended it to whoever is reading this! Godspeed and God bless!
Just listening to Scott's voice and words intantly makes me feel Holier. God love him.
Just love listening to Scott Hahn.. even when hes going to fast for me and I can’t keep up. Lol I will need a recap, and I look forward to more sinking in.
Thanks be to God that we have people like Scott Hanh in our time.
Glory be to Jesus Christ!
I'm finishing out a semester of an online course at Franciscan University taught by Dr. Hahn. It has been so profound and has deepened my faith immensely. I'm so grateful! :)
Dr Scott Hahn is a Wonderful Catholic and human being. Glory to God!🙏
He is a wonderful Christian.
Thanks for answering my question Scott. I actually do own the book you referenced and have been working through it. It's hard when Penal Substitution is literally the air you used to breathe fir so long...
“In the Beginning” by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI/Joseph Ratzinger (super short collection of four of his homilies) touches on this too!
01:41:00 saving timestamp for future reference
❤️ Matt you always have the guest I need to hear, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
New subscriber. I could listen to Dr. Hahn talk all day. So spiritually enlightening.
This man is so amazing! Thank you, dear Lord, for giving us Dr. Scott Hahn.
To all on here who are converting to Catholicism. Do not be afraid. Always remember to keep your focus on God. He is perfect and so is His plan. He should always come first, before yourself, before family, friends, anyone. You will never be alone, for God Himself suffices. I hold the world in prayer when I pray my rosary. We are all going through something when it comes to our faith. The devil will not prevail. Believe with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind in the Holy Eucharist. May the Holy Spirit descend down upon all who will be receiving the Holy Sacraments this Easter and your families. May He also reunite those who have strayed away from our church. God Bless you all.
Such a wonderful video. Getting ready to watch this again! So many things I didn't know. Thank you, Dr. and Matt.
I echo the sentiments of the people here. Dr. Hahn is such a great gift from God. I was previously a lost catholic he brought me back thru his books, specifically Rome Sweet Home.May our Lady continue to guide him and strengthen him in his works
I bet Jesus would do a WAY better job guiding him and strengthening him 😉
@@MicahMarshall4TruthAgreed. It is the Holy Spirit that guides us into truth.
I am watching this on Ash Wednesday and I feel like it is a confirmation from God about the anguish I feel about my children. God really ministered to me through this talk and showed me how I should respond and pray for my children. Thank you so much.
Oh and yeah I am ready to forgive Dr Hahn now lol . I didnt realize he despise the celebrity thing. I remember bearing the brunt of that...totally embarrassed going up to get a signature when he and his wife came to Jamaica ...so I am very happy to hear him say God told him , they dont want you they want Me :)
Just listening to this lovely conversation, in my loneliness, looking to learn at this late year of my life...and just now you mention our precious Cardinal Pell who has been taken from us, suddenly, tragically, when the Church needs his earthly guidance. Lord have mercy.
Wow! Dr Scott Hahn is so great! I feel like I should be taking notes! This is so good!
Soooooo happy to listen to Dr Hahn anytime
As a Protestant inquiring into Catholicism. Dr Scott Hahn is such a treasure. Helping me to understand Catholicism and hearing about the faith firsthand rather than from prots who have no clue or have been misguided in their critiques of the faith. Thanks also to Pints With Aquinas for your zeal and enthusiasm. Your willingness to have guests on who illuminate these important topics is excellent!
Everything Mr Hahn says I agree with and was raised with.. and yet I’m a Christian raised in a Protestant church. I’m so confused. I never studied Calvinism so I don’t know what hill he died on.
Dr Scott Hahn was dropping such powerful knowledge, amazing!!
Quite an excellent conversation. Will listen to again. Thank you
To GOD be the GLORY 🙏 highly appreciate Matt's interview of Dr. Hahn, touches one's heart and soul, because of GOD The FATHER'S Love and our Lord JESUS lifegiving sufferring🙏
I can’t believe this has only 1.5 k likes!
This is a great episode !
I think we all want the 7 day, 90 day, whatever specified amount of “days” to holiness because it is something we have control over and can do ourselves. But as Dr. Hahn says, holiness is not what we make ourselves because we can’t achieve or earn our own justification, which is hard to accept sometimes! 😅
You’re absolutely right. It is not our holiness, but the spirit of holiness that Christ shares with us as we grow in him and his Word.
It's always great to listen to your talks with Dr. Hahn! I have some notes made, some new thoughts - and I always feel that Dr. Hahn is trying to simplify the ideas, to reach everyone, never trying to artificially impress us with sophisticated words or mind constructs. I'm grateful and inspired.
Dr. Scott Hahn, thank you very much for sharing us your wisdom and Mr. Matt Fradd Pints With Aquinas really inspires the faithful to be good.
Loved it! There is sooo much depth in our Catholic Faith! Mind blowing. I'm so grateful.
Christian faith.
@@ApriluserCatholicism is the pinnacle of Christian faith then 😊
Thankyou Gentlemen. Praise be to God
Curious as to what Matt Frad means by " I think things are about to become way worst way quicker than any of us expect" 5:51 Is he talking about persecution? Chaos in the world? Economic colapse? thoughts anyone?
Easiest way to answer... yes to all those. He mentioned them on his Locals channel.
Hallow is awesome! Best part is Jeff cavins daily reflection
I absolutely love these talks. And the fun questions of "What about Anne Frank or the thief on the cross?" How it was explained to me by my RCIA teacher is that the sacraments were instituted for us but God is not strictly bound to never work outside the sacraments. They should never be downplayed but we also can never say that they are absolute in terms of someone's salvation, especially in those extenuating circumstances. Same idea if the unborn die before they can be baptized. All we can do is place faith in God's mercy in that He can work outside of baptism.
They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." Acts 16:31. Baptism in the Eucharist are very, very important. But the journey begins with believing in what Christ has done for us. As we read the Scriptures for ourselves in our own personal lives, we begin to see how gracious our kind Lord is.
@@Apriluser The journey can begin with belief. Or it can begin with a person’s baptism at infancy. There are many verses that teach what we must do to inherit eternal life, including belief, baptism, partaking if the body of Christ in the Eucharist, caring for the poor, etc. so we should not discount any of them. God is not limited by the sacraments He puts in place but we absolutely should not ever diminish their salvific graces God promised to bestow through them.
Completing the circuitry in Christ is a way of helping your children on the way home. Scott, Matt, your dialogues with each other right now. Are prayers. The Lord will fulfill beyond all understanding. I am estranged from my sons, but I am not estranged from Christ when I pray for them at a distance and discussion with others in Christ in faith incarnate.
Matt interrupts Scott at such an important moment!!! . He was saying that maybe the people who seem holy, maybe are but could not be. What did he say afterwards??? Did he say God knows the heart?
WOW. This was mind-blowing. Had to pause in the middle for mass and I felt like I was seeing things I never saw before. Thank you
Really enjoyed this conversation, thank you both.
Thank you so, so much for this episode. It is much needed in my spiritual life right now
Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Of the grace.
I can listen to Scott all day, wish I could meet him
Is the "lofi" background/waiting video themed uploaded at TH-cam? Really loved the art and music! Need to have it playing at home!
I think you can look up “Catholic Lofi” on TH-cam
It’s also on Spotify!
There is so much integrating activity within Dr. Hahn's mind that what he says sounds more mysterious proper to one who has reached the profundity proper to a mystic. Our best response is to behold the Lord who is shining through him.
Scott Hahn’s voice is so soothing. I want him to be my grandpa🙂
I still remember the album Godspell, 'Day by Day' we would sing at the 9:30 folk mass at the Church's school Cafeteria, "It's all for the Best", the finale at the end of the album that would bring one to tears, later at Campus Ministry, I was baptised in the Spirit, those were glorious times, the Holy Spirit truly united young flesh with the Spirit like our Father gave us the incarnation of His only begotten son, many remember only the 'free love' and woodstock of the sixties and seventies, but like Stuebenville in the mid eighties, it was a glorious time of the Charismatic Renewal, where we would go to Mass and actually sing praise to God, worship at the Eucharistic CELEBRATION, now you got to Mass with overhead projectors that don't work, snobbish ritualists who look down at the average Joe and Jane singing at all and of course your purists priests who want to sublet everything to an over paid 'Music Minister' who is just as snobish, the seventies and eighties were a vibrant time for Church goers, now the purists and perfectionists remain and the only sound perfectionism brings is the sound of silence, we're all quietists now.
It's amazing how intertwined and non contradictory scripture and bible is.
All that Adam & Eve had to do was eat from the Tree of Life FIRST. Then they would have been able to eat freely & safely of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. Adam & Eve had to eat from the Tree of Life FIRST.
By the way, you mention Two Cherubim in the Garden of God, but I thought there was only One? 20:27
I thought the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was supposed to be Adam's guardian angel before wickedness was found in Adam's guardian angel?
You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: carnelian, chrysolite and emerald, topaz, onyx and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
Ezekiel 28: 13-15 (NIV)
Weren't they created in a Holy State of Grace? I suppose we have to distinguish to unite.
@@_grenade_3999 Much prayer is required. But I think we have become so ingrained with the taint of our parent's Original Sin that we need to reflect on what they could have done differently. I really do not think we fully grasp the full measure God's mercy. Adam was supposed to eat of the Tree of Life first then offer it to his wife. Instead the serpent tempted Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil first then offer it to Adam.
This one was really good. Thanks.
I will not be attending my own mothers funeral because it would be bearing false witness. I do try to call and have somebody who is caring for her. Wish her a blessed day the person doing it I know does it in Christ. Scott, in a backhanded way. Your parents honored your baptismal promises they made, and you made for your children. I was that for being humble I did not give Christ to my children and I am estranged. I have prayed, but I see them in heaven and I know I will, and faith.
Very good explanation of the atonement.
Everytime I try to watch this episode it gets stuck loading and never loads. Weird. I'm going to go check rumble.
Lutherans believe PASS / FAIL. You make it or you don't. Jesus opened the gates of heaven but you determine whether or not the privilege is you to go in. You can lose the gift of salvation by sin. You do earn heaven. Not the privilege, but Whether or not you are allowed in is earned. Catholics the same thing but an intermittent step of purgatory to burn off your sin in the event you are not evil enough to go to hll. Non Denominational believe you are in if you accept Jesus. It does not matter how you live. You are guaranteed the privilege of heaven. Heaven is earned. Its just a matter of semantics and how you say it. A misconception Catholics who believe in both hll and purgatory have is that Confession burns away your sin AND punishment. Punishment is NEVER burned away thru being sorry for sinning. YOU MUST SUFFER for YOUR SINS unless you participate in Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy is a matter that all Catholics need to visit. The fact that you must personally suffer for your sins or you are not allowed in heaven is indication that you must EARN IT. If you go to confession and recite enough indulgences you can burn time from your horror in purgatory but you have to work it.
"find a group of men and do it with them" ....phrasing?
Enjoy Scott's discussions and books over the years. His comment of going to Reconciliation/Confession every week 1:17 is interesting. If that is admirable and/or necessary
we need more Priests - at least in our large parish. 😊
Dr. Scott Hahn and Mr. Matt Fradd I cry as I listen to your conversation, I really pray the Holy Rosary for my daughter and son, so much blessings granted. Thanks be to God Amen. I thank God very much for Dr. Scott Hahn and Pints With Aquinas
I'm 9 months late to post this for anyone to see, but THANK YOU! for the book recommendation, What Is Redemption. I was raised Lutheran and have been Catholic now for 20 years, but have only just started a "deep dive" into disentangling myself from the grip of "I'm a pile of dung and the Father can only love me because he's looking at Jesus." I look forward to reading the book and continuing the glorious journey into the heart of the Father that loves ME!
Scott, thank you for saying to Matt what you’re saying in Christ. Even though we are the worst of sinners. Matt, sometimes you have to say nothing so that you do not remove all doubt that we are the words to sinners from our.Dyslexic Quay
Amazing. Praise God for this. So delighted.
When Scott mentioned the feeling he got when his first child was born I could relate completely. I had a similar experience and I felt God's presence, and finally understood what type of love he has for us. It shook me to my core. Now I'm in RCIA because I know God is real.
Homem abençoado!
01:41:00 atonement until 01:51:00
I am a Protestant that benefits from your work,😊 I am an Anglican, but with an evangelical background.
I too am an Anglican and my husband is our priest. We also were/are evangelical in upbringing but have journeyed into the ACNA. The wonderful and blessed thought is that we get to drink from the fountain of the various church traditions: Roman, Orthodox, Anglican, and Protestant traditions. The Spirit has been working everywhere and at all times. These 4 great traditions are, to me, like the four gospels. Not any one of them is complete in itself, but when we see the truth of God‘s word and the work of the Spirit in each one of them, we have afuller picture of the God we serve. Blessings on you!
Hahns logic on penal substitution is utterly silly. To caricature the opposing view with the same nonsense that could be turned back on your own view is just dishonesty. He says if penal substitution is true, “what would we make of a Father that treats his Son in this way”. And then explains his own view of Jesus paying the “debt” of our sins by being “slaughtered” (I’m using his thoughtless language) on the cross. And anybody actually listening to him can sit back and say, “what do we think of a father who would send his Son to pay a sin debt by being slaughtered on the cross.” I think the arguments needs to be a little more thoughtful
Speechless. “Were not our hearts on fire?” That’s how I felt, riveted watching this
Seriously who can watch 2 hours I can. Thank you 😊
Does penal substitution make sense from the trinity. God the father dumps sins on god the son,!,,,,,,,
Wow this is a amazing man
Rom6:14 Psalm119:133. All things are possible to him that believes ....... John8:11......Do U Believe?
As to first 20 minutes, where Dr Hahn basically saying the vertical ( love for God above) , ie, the first three commandments, precedes and prepares and grounds the soul for loving his neighbor as outlined in last seven commandments. In this vein, recall Bonhoeffer’s cherished “ Jesus, a man for others” thematic thrust of Christ character WHEN Jesus himself was really first “a man for the Father” ie, Theo centric and not homocentric . All these observations from Allred Graham the English Benedictine, found in his “ Contemplative Christianity 1974.
Hahn's love for Scripture and the faith is contagious.
Everything Mr Hahn says I agree with and was raised with.. and yet I’m a Christian raised in a Protestant church. I’m so confused. I never studied Calvinism so I don’t know what hill he died on.
I have watched this four times now. Soooo good.
Goodness I needed this. Thank you thank you.
Anyone else having problems with getting only this video to play on TH-cam? Any other video I click on works fine, but this one won't load anymore for some reason
I wanted to abstain from attending my Aunt's 4th Wedding, but my Mom and siblings threatened to kick me out of the house, and I'd have been homeless.
Who is the author of the book Matt referenced - I Believe in Love? I know someone who struggles with scrupulosity and I would like to recommend it to them.
Fr. Jean C. J. d'Elbée
Dr.Hahn is so amazing, but please don’t listen to him when he misrepresents Pittsburgh. If you do, he becomes less believable about more important things and that would be a tragedy. Really Dr. Hahn, you’ve got to know those things you say about our hometown are not true. Check yourself.
Hi Mat I tried Hollow and they only offer a 15 da trial not 3 months.
Could you help me out on this I live in San Miguel México really enjoy your podcast.
For the 3 months you need to use the link in the description box :)
Yes....food for my soul...ummmm...I yearn for more after that! Thankyou you Dr. Scott Hahn and Matt Frad 🙏
Dr Hahn is great. But all of what he talks about here regarding sanctifying grace ( how to be holy) is very accessible in the Baltimore Catechism. He has a very impressive style of delivery, no doubt. But it's basic stuff.
I love this dialogue, and especially hearing Dr. Hahn answer good questions I’ve had myself.
One suggestion: maybe edit out the sighs into your mic? Just a note for sound aesthetics.😅
27:00 Original Sin and loss of holiness is why Christ finds the righteous patriarchs in limbo of Sheol - the highest expectation for pre-Incarnation men - and then takes them up to Heaven of the Beatific Vision that is opened first and forever by Christ.
If you mentor in Christ, are you listen to Satan to mentor? No? Make your yes yes in Christ and your know I know in Christ. Or listen to Satan trying to use your free will. If you don’t see Christ in what you say or hear from others How can you see God. Or is it self in you who is the god. A foolish person is someone who has a lack of knowledge of God? Or someone who does not see God only themselves. God gave us free will not Satan. But if you can’t see God, what you’re saying and you don’t see Christ in you or others incarnate
Matt, Scott, are your wives not in Christ. Sometimes we are not in Christ when we allow Satan a use our free will. Scott when Kimberly consider leaving you because she thought you were out of your mind from her files that she had in this world. Was that Christ using her or Satan. God gave us free will as he did Adam and eve. Adam didn’t love Eve he was more interested in her one//in an Eros way that was not on his way home.
Do your job in ChristGodHolySpirit not by yourself, yourself, yourself without Christ
So 21:30, he just said our first parents committed spiritual su**ide does that mean they won’t get to be in heaven?
