    Pope Benedict's Trilogy - was mainly responsible for my Anglican Uncle Clarence choosing to become Catholic at age 81 yrs! He said he wept when he read Jesus of Nazareth and believed that the Catholic Church is the true church established by Jesus and that He is truly present in the Holy Eucharist and wanted to receive Him! God gave him 5 years as a Catholic before calling him home in Jan 2018!

    Timely sermon. Believe me when I say , the devil is INSIDIOUS. He knows what you love and want...in my case as a recovering addict, he tempts me with my drug of choice in the homes of the two women I do private duty care for: Tramadols. I have no intention and /obsession to use it...I can only PRAY to the fortitude to resist... it would end badly; trust me! Thanks, Father..😔

      Subwaygirl NYC God bless subway girl / sister in Christ from a fellow NYer. Just a thought: to reduce temptation re tramadol, would it help to keep a pill diary with your patients where you record each dose dispensed (time, date, number of pills) and ask them to sign/initials. That way there would always be a record someone could check that would tell them how many pills should be left i(before next refill). Increasing the probability of getting caught would reduce my temptation to try. Just a random idea.

      Tramadol caused my sister to stop breathing. She was not discovered until she was brain dead for 45 minutes. Her heart was still beating at the hospital and her respiration was on a machine. Her son came a day later as he was across the state, and working, and pulled the "plug." Because they told him she would be a vegetable if by a miracle she woke up. Tramadol kills period. You need to find another drug of choice.

    Definitely true for me that ultimately I fail miserably and have crashed and burned and had no idea why until God in his mercy has allowed me to turn to him and now I invite him back to take first place in my life. It's a process for me. I guess I'm pretty slow..I must exercise listening quietly first.

    Im a little late to the party, have been watching your homilies and presentations the last few days and am challenged by each one .God does have a great sense of humor, through the power of the holy spirit, caught myself laughing, because you painted the mental picture of the devil as the character that Owen Wilson portrays so well, and you nailed the devil's m.o. thank you, it's ok to laugh at his tatics but he is deadly serious and after a good laugh ,pray for the wisdom to spot that crazy surfer dude coming at least a mile down the beach and keep that purple beach Stoll close by, that means check in at the reconciliation surf shack regularly

    Ignorance is claiming that "those who are devoted to dogmatism" have not contributed anything to science. There are literally hundreds of people of Faith who played an integral and irreplaceable role in the development of the West and the development of science. Your statement highlights your lack of historical knowledge, which is quite ironic

  • @drdst17
    @drdst17 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'd wager David Hume and the others wish they could take back all the damage they did as they spend eternity apart from the very God who created them. Hopefully, they made deathbed confessions and in the icy grip of the Reaper repented their evil ways. Eternity is a long time and death ultimately claims us all no matter how hard we try to escape it. Ultimately, both the good AND the evil we do in this life is judged at the moment of our death - I hope we are all ready for it when it comes.

    Temptation is also just physical suffering. When the satisfaction of life is not at its fullest and there are options to temporary quench that dissatisfaction or distance from the satisfaction from life. So I see it as Jesus Christ probably or definitely never "thought" about giving in or was as we perceive "tempted", but he was suffering from the fact that there were other options to quench his suffering other than life and God himself. But it's impossible for him to actually succumb.

    Truth is that which exist, truth is not an object of belonging, what you believe to be true is either true or it is false, and if it is true anyone who believes is something contrary to your belief happens to be wrong, unless of course you believe all reality to be subjective.

    Except that if you consult the scholastics, to be tempted means that an external entity is attempting to entice you into an action and does not require any internal movement towards that end.

    I must say that I so want to come back to my Catholic roots and the faith I was brought up in but there is only one wall that I always hit and it's called "Mary" The worship of Mary and the teaching that she is Co-redemptress are so repulsive to me when the bible clearly states that there is only ONE Saviour If it wasn't for Mary I would be back in Confession, Eucharist and Mass and all the sacraments. It breaks my heart cause I do want to come back.

    Interesting homily but misses a few important points. Christ in his divinity would not have been tempted. Christ in his full humanity would have know temptation. And this humanity, this suffering love to the point of death on a cross, this is the very thing Satan in his temptations wants Christ to renounce. Cf. Johannes Metz 'Poverty of Spirit'.

  • @drdst17
    @drdst17 11 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    There no goodness that is outside of God. Any desire you have to do a "good" act, comes from God. A "good" act is an act that is in line with how God wants us to live.
    An evil act is something OUTSIDE of God's law that ultimately injures the self or others. You lack the authority to define what is "good" or "evil" in of yourself, because you are a fallen human being who is not very long for this Earth (as are we all).

  • @johnshiels885

    Luke 1:47-49
    47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my (Saviour.)48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
    49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is (his) name. Not Holy Mary
    Handmaiden Means female servent..Yes Mary was blessed for being the Vessel that delievered our saviour to the world.
    She was not saying we have to say it or its a command, Its simply a observation That we will say that, No more is said about any worship.
    Its a misinterpretaion. She was saying people will envy me. Satan is very clever and knows how to twist scripture to suit his deception. As far as catholics go they dont believe Satan is able to pull such a deception as the cathoilc teachings and tradition, All religion will clam to be right,
    They say the other is wrong but they cant all be right so who is wrong? All, Relgion is of the world and satan is the god of this world,
    Matthew 4:7-10
    8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
    9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
    10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
    Did he say they are not your kingdoms to offer? No. He confirmed they do below to him,
    1 Peter 5:8
    8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
    ,He walks the earth, He owns every Government, Government means God He owns the music indestry, HELLYWOOD, all the actors and singers, all the banks and royals and world leaders and every single religion. And he is also the fake visions of mary, Leading millions from Christ/salvation. He is very powerful and the bbile tells us there will be great false signs and wonders in the last day, You believe these false signs and wonders to be miricals from Mary.
    Christian is not a religion, its a relationship with our saviour Jesus Christ, Made possible by his blood sacrifice made for the forgivness of any man that recieves me unto him self?
    1 Timothy 2:5
    “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
    John 14:6
    “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
    1 John 1:9
    9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
    Another scripture satan wisted to form your religion. Of course we confess, but to who? Not a earlthy priest, but to the LAST priest who offered him SELF up for our sins. If you gave your sins to a priest to offer up with a blood sacrifice on your behalf in old testament, Then we give our sins to the priest who offered up his own blood on our behalf witch by doing so created the new testament. I already know that makes sense to some and is going to bug you?
    We are saved underchrist, cant lose salvation, so why confess? Your soul is saved, Jesus never came to save the flesh, The flesh will die and rot, the soul lives for ever. but even though our soul is saved and clean from sin, sin still damages the flesh and also each sin is like a brick that when high enough prevents Gods will and blessings for your life. He still has a plan for you while you live, but sin prevents is, so although your saved, Gods blessings for this life is just not going to happen while you carry unconfessed sin on your shoulders and flesh, You confess to God as soon as you sin. your already saved so you dont say forgive me, your sins are forgiven, you say sorry and its clean and new again,the flesh is forgiven and will no longer reap the punishment, and the door is wide for his blessing in life to restart :)Even though we are saved, sin can still destroy the body, Our soul belongs to Jesus but if we repeat sin? Our boby can be turned over to satan to do with as he wishes? and if bad enough? even early death.
    Satan wants to be God so he has you confess to the very ones who murdered our saviour, and who call them self God by there very titles, Father, there is only one Father that is in Heaven (GOD) And pope witch means Holy father. So when you Confess to a priests? You are confessing to satan, he calls him self God by wearing Gods titles. read below to see for your self.
    Luke 2:24
    “And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.”
    See how it says According to the law of God? what was the law of God, A sacrifice for the covering of sin, So By doing this sacifice according to that law, It was for the covering of her sins.
    Romans 8:5-39
    5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
    Romans 3:10
    10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
    NOT ONE, ddint say none accept Mary.Romans 3:23
    23 For( all) have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Not all, BUT NOT MARY??
    7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
    8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
    9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
    10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
    11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
    12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
    13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
    The above shows that the flesh and mind is off sin, By nature. When we are saved, we are no longer of the Flesh but of the Spirt that twells with in, The Holy spirit that we recieve when saved by accepting the blood sacrifice of our saviour Jesus when we are given the free gift of eternal life, a gift of God.The flesh can still sin but sin no longer charged to our soul, but rather to Jesus account witch was paid for in full 2000 years ago. Catholics reject this free gift from Christ and contiue to believe in man and man made saints, satanic visions of mary and trusting Prists and rome for there salvation, Priests and Rome that murdered Jesus to start with.
    Praying to Saints And Mary (The dead).
    ESSLESIASTES 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
    Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
    This means all things done and said and know under the son (While alive) Are gone and they know and remember nothing of this world or life. And they have no more portion (anything to do with what happens or goes on under the son) worldly things. But again another word of God ignored by Catholics as they continue to pray to the dead, there for calling God a liar and there satanic religion and visions of demons, i mean mary right.
    Matthew 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
    Praying same prayer over and over, chanting. This by Gods words makes catholics Heathens. (The rosary. More of satan leading you to disobay more of Gods commands, It amazes me just how much of there practice id forbidden by God and yet they still do it and call God a liar.

    Your argument was that atheism was ok because when atheist do things their own way, things work out fine. You used the example of BG and MDGs to prove that point. My point was the MDGs were not done Bill Gates' way. Many people and groups got together to decide on them and to work towards their achievement; a lot (not all) of those groups were religious/faith-based NGOs and individuals who acknowledge being inspired by their adherence to Judeo-Christian beliefs.

    "When we try do things our way, we ultimately fail miserably."
    Tell that to atheists like David Hume, one of the most successful advocates of reason in the Enlightenment; Thomas Paine, who successfully engineered an entire revolution; and Charles Darwin, who successfully formulated the theory that forms of basis of modern biology. These brilliant men are from from the "corrupt" "fools" Psalm 14:1 claims them to be.
    By contrast, devotion to dogmatism only leads to ignorance.

    Okay, fine. Then I have one simple question for you. If you are right, and the people are behind you, then please answer the question drdst17 didn't.
    Please state for the record what you think should be the punishment for gay people who have homosexual sex? Obviously if we're going to make it a crime, then there has to be some kind of punishment involved. If what you preach is God's truth, and God made mankind, what's stopping you from legislating His truth?

    If that is true, it doesn't make an argument for atheism being ok just because the person saying so is atheist. MDG targets were set and achieved by a multidisciplinary body--including faith-based NGOs.

    I know it may come as a shock to you, but believe it or not we use our brain. Even Pope Ratzinger said it himself, the real question is do we need God to be good? Because if goodness exists outside of God, then that means the church is pretty useless. But then again, being good for goodness sake (without the need for a belief in the supernatural) is what the Pope calls evil, right? :)

    Did I say "atheism is ok just because the person saying so is atheist"? I responded to the specific claim that "when we try to do things our way, we fail miserably," which is demonstrably false, as exemplified by the case of Bill Gates.
    To cite Dr. Peter Boghossian, "Currently, people of faith are viewed as good people. This is not true. They are neither good people, nor bad people. Faith has nothing to do with being moral. Faith is pretending to know things you don't know."

    Did I claim that believers have never devoted anything to science? The human brain is entirely capable of compartmentalization. Amartya Sen was a Hindu, and Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī was a Muslim, for example. But the more we learn about the world, the more difficult compartmentalization becomes--which is why fewer and fewer scientists believe in a personal god as time progresses.
    True total devotion to Christianity resulted in the Dark Ages. Humanism led us out of it.

    So the pope who said that evil "pretends to show us a better way, where we finally abandon our illusions and throw ourselves into the work of actually making the world a better place", once the head of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, becomes the Pope so he can change the world, realizes how empty it is, loses his faith that God exists, and quits.
    If irony were made of strawberries, we'd all be drinking smoothies right now.

    It's your truth, not my truth. That's why it's really wicked and evil for you to say I'll have to accept your truth on my deathbed. If there's a God, then that God is on my side since I'm the more honorable out of the both of us.

    MORE CHRISTIAN CRAP AND LIES.
    No devil has any plans for me or for you.
    EVIL exists THE DEVIL DOES NOT.
    EVIL EXISTS IN OUR MINDS, there is NO FORCE OF EVIL.
    EVIL exists in mankind and so does GOOD.
    This STINKING MORON IS LYING TO YOU.
    He is simply trying to SCARE YOU INTO DOING AS HE TELLS YOU.
    HE PROMISES THAT IF YOU OBEY HIM GOD WILL PROTECT YOU.
    THESE ARE SIMPLY LIES.
    Try this instead, go to your family and hug them and kiss them, if you have grandchildren hug them even more and tell them all how much you LOVE THEM.
    Turn to your NEIGHBOURS and community and ask them this question, HOW CAN I HELP YOU.
    This will accomplish more GOOD THAN ALL THE USELESS PRAYER EVER SAID IN HISTORY.
    Remember, the church WANTS TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE, PRAYER IS JUST ONE OF THEIR VILE TRICKS TO HOLD ONTO YOU.
    The church has NO ANSWES TO ANY QUESTIONS THAT IS WHY THEY THREATEN YOU WITH ETERNAL DAMNATION IF YOU DELVE TO DEEPLY INTO THEIR EVIL WAYS.
    The Bible is USELESS except for one thing, THE BIBLE MAKES VERY GOOD TOILET PAPER.
    STOP LYING.
