I love you Bishop Barron ❤️ may the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you to speak the truth of the Gospels ❤ Praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️
I like this video because it made me think about how important it is to know how the Catholic Church is different from other major religions. I think everyone catholic should know.
Amen. The resurrection Christ defeated death we all have free will how do we use our free will Sincerely repentance liberated from everything I am terrified of
Catholicism is a contemplative faith. The intelligent will find an endless quenching well to pursue God intellectually. I have hope that contemplating the Mysteries of our faith is analogous to the Beatiific Vision. There aren't enough hours in the day to think about God. The more you learn, especially in reading the church doctors or listening about them, the less you want to waste time on thinking about anything else but God. Think more!
I think christian’s taking the cross and using it as jewelry is extremely symbolic. The victors of conflict have always taken souvenirs from their opponents to commemorate their victory. But in Christ we have victory over death and our animalistic natures symbolized in the cross. When we wear the cross we our saying our lord has won and we are not afraid of even death because he has already triumphed
This young man has been sincerely seeking God for so many years that he finally gave up and accepted atheism, possibly very reluctantly. He was raised a Christian and even studied theology. I feel for him and pray he will be shown the Light of Christ and His Love. He needs to study the writings of the early saints and church fathers. Those men understood bc they experienced Christ. The explanations always fall short. These men experienced Christ thus Christ IS ALIVE and resurrected. Like Thomas this young man wants to see for himself. He will find Christ in repentance. That is what opens the Door where Christ can come and sup with us and become one through the Father and Holy Spirit. Again explanations are never enough. Repent and then the Kingdom can shine forth. This is the Truth and the Good News Christ Jesus died to show us.
Well actually they didn't stopped at 70AD. When the temple was destroyed. The early jewish christians did on occasions still bring sacrifices at the temple.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. He laid down his life that our sins might be forgiven. He rose from the dead. Acceptance of this truth is what sets us free. We can choose to reject it but rejection of this truth does not alter the truth of it.
Truth is slippery no matter how you go about it. Science or religion, it doesn't matter. Calling anything **truth** requires a high degree of arrogance, and an even higher degree of wishful thinking. Christians pride themselves on humility, but the very fact that they call something "truth" is **as arrogant as it gets.**
If you delete my comments, you are a coward and a fraud. To believe something as truth in this world is to be arrogant. We can put a probability on something based on our observation or intuition, but truth is in essence intangible. Religious people pride themselves on their humility by arriving at"truth" through faith, but literally nothing could be more arrogant. YOU choose to believe the story.
The problem is that there is no proof that he rose from the dead. There are just claims that he did so. Not the same thing. I'm glad to accept Christ as an ethicist.
Yep, everything in the catholic church is highly thought out reason, that atheists have no idea about Catholic means universal for a reason How true these words are, for people who understand We come into this world through pain, and we leave this world through pain Anyone dying will have alot of thoughts that they never had before in there life, preparing them. Catholic church and what it stands for, was humans mixing with the unknown, and how humans can understand the unknown with reason and logic Bishop here explains this very well Death is scary, and what jesus brought was enlightenment with his life. Before jesus, all religions were based on god being dark and evil. This world without the teachings of jesus would never of saw civil ideas manifest from the human brain.
Something I appreciate about Anglicanism is that I can learn from both Protestant and Catholic arguments. I can appreciate the importance of religious tradition and episcopacy from the Catholic side but also many of the theological arguments of the Protestants. You're not rigidly committed to one camp or the other because of an argument that took place 500 years ago.
Great conversation ! 6:22 I've always thought this understanding of "ransom" a bit strange. It seems to me quite medieval / modern, but not that much biblical. I'm more inclined to understand it as being thrawn in prison for debt (the Bible actually mentions that), and kept in prison until someone pays your ransom. As such, you are kept captive, and someone paying your ransom is a liberation. That sounds more biblical to me, and closer to christian faith. It also eliminates the "to whom is the ransom paid" question : we are indebted to God (debt being a classical image of sin), and thus ransom is paid to God. Which is another way of saying it is pure divine grace. My ransom is paid, I am debt free, liberated, saved, justified. It all makes more sense with the prison analogy than with the kidnaping analogy. Plus prison for debt is a consequence of my act (I've taken debt), while kidnapping is against my will.
So true brother. My analytical mentality has at times ripped me far from God. It certainly often is how you explain that faith is very experiential and spiritual. Trying to conceptualize God in one’s mind and through language is often futile, but to experience his Love with your heart is extremely powerful. May god bless you all Amen 🙏🏻
I’d think the logic of god is pointless and really a non starter. It’s all about the experience, after all this god exists outside of the physical reality we normally can sense except for the one time he came as a human 2000 years ago. If that’s the case then biblical study is more akin to interpreting a piece of art. From there I could derive similar feelings from all art created by man, and achieve the same effect. I don’t suppose god is meant to be a logistical problem but the act of immersing oneself in the human experience and shedding off the fear of death that would otherwise hold us back
According to some Protestant movements by his stripes we are healed means no Christian should ever be sick..or if they are they rebuke the sickness and it goes…anyone..?
Inner wounds like past traumatic experiences such as molestation,abusive relationship,addiction and so on. I’m a witness to the healings Jesus Christ gives and no more am I troubled or angry about my past. He has created me a new man and so it isn’t I who lives but Christ who lives in me.
We really don’t know about this, but if you believe and God isn’t there - what have you lost? Nothing. However, if you don’t believe and he is there - what then? You are screwed then. I see suffering everywhere and no intervention by God, but maybe I just don’t know….
The Problem of Evil (the philosophical concept of what you're describing). It's a hard one man. The better question (imo) is what do you have to lose by continuing to investigate?
there is a creepy guy popping up randomly in this video... doesnt say anything, doesnt do anything. He just stands there, like some weirdos coming uninvited to a chat between people in a pub.
I have a question for the padre: what credible and verifiable evidence can you provide that demonstrates that jesus was the son of god? if you can answer that I would be amazed (and impressed). Good luck my friend.

Exactly, the good thief accepted God's power to be forgiven; Father forgive them for they know not what they do: Besides, Jesus Christ lord of His Kingdom that what the good thief believed n accepted to fear God in his state,his own cross of suffering for his sin̈s......... 12:17
@FiatVoluntasTuaAmen good priests are good psychoanalysts, and good psychoanalysts are good priests. It's refreshing to see old and new trying to meet in the middle.
Jesus is so Lord that he predicted his coming in the OT, as christians claim, he got here and did thousands of miracles and preached for years, as christians claim, and well - his own people killed him. The most likely reason? The gospels are not accurate.
Jesus is a failed Messiah, he never fulfilled the quantifiable Messianic prophecies, world peace, rebuilding the third temple, returning the exiles and spreading the Jewish god to the whole world And yes the gospels are hugely contradictory and fiction, there was no Roman census sending Joseph to his ancestral home, fiction
Seems to me the good priest spews a lot of very edible word salad but does very little to utter any real proof. Lead a horse to water he says without positively defining what the horse essentially is or even what water tastes like. His words are pretty & meant to confuse you into thinking he's saying something very profound but take the time to break it down. To discuss the meaning of a thing you first have to clearly define the parameters of the thing itself. Catholics like it complicated for good reasons.
@@grannythebuilder395 Could be & that's exactly what I would say to me if I was you but ur not really saying anything of substance ur self now are you?? Just sarcastic put downs with no real grounding in truth.Please, enlighten me on what u think he is trying to say in a nutshell.
Miraculous claims are not compelling, especially without any good evidence. The theology doesn’t even make sense. God sent himself as a sacrifice to himself, to appease himself. To somehow exploit a loophole in his own rule? Super weird theology. You can see why Jews don’t accept Jesus as their messiah. It doesn’t make any sense.
Yeah I was having this issue too. They so often sidetrack from the logistics of it to talk about the experience and feeling of it all. It often sounds to me like what people get from art and other immersive or ‘spiritual’ feelings. If that’s the primary focus of faith than why even try to sort out the faulty logistics of it all? Oh I guess it’s because the scripture says they should provide an answer
Got it wrong when you thought that God is ONE PERSON. NO. God is THREE PERSONS; The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. And the Second Person of the Trinity became flesh. So no, he did not “send himself”. So much of your intellectual statement attacking a strawman argument.
@@atgred trinitarianism is nonsense. Either you worship three gods or you worship one. You can’t have it both ways and think you are speaking rationally. So, gos sent himself to appease himself. It is nonsense.

You can’t reasonably expect that a a video clip where the Bishop is explaining about something else to answer the question,why God exists. As a former agnostic I sympathize. Allow me to direct you to Catholic apologetics. Catholic Answers with Jimmy Aikens or Trent Horne. There are others on TH-cam. Good day and God bless.
The Barron bishop, excuse the pun, demonstrates his lack of understanding what the story is about and how it 'metaphorically' describes the method of perceptual-ascension prophesied in the 'son-of-man' (aka humanity) cryptic verses of Daniel? The bishop shows his self-interested need to feel good by advising people to remain child-like & not educate themselves out of ignorance & suspicion by learning to think for themselves, IMHO.
I can see your point. Try tuning in to the Oxford mathematicians and scientists whose arguments might be harder to resist Unless you are afraid to try to believe. Although you regard yourself as imminently logical, there is nothing logical about failing to seek. The beneficial effects of faith on all cause mortality makes failure to seek totally irrational
@FiatVoluntasTuaAmen The bishops thought processes exemplify humanity's feel-good 'fantasy' relationship with reality, which exactly what the story of Jesus, the Christ is designed to correct even though inevitably the narrative falls to the very reason Jesus taught parables, because "they seeing, see not, hearing, hear not, and neither do they understand!" Which the Barron bishop demonstrates perfectly because like everyone else he cannot explain his own reality & recognise the fantasy-of-knowing inherent in language, as the very reason Jesus said "my kingdom is not of this world." Like other 'reality-wise' teaching stories his story is about the paradox of perception inherent in the human condition, like the optical illusion of seeing the Sun 'appear' to be moving? Hence the post-resurrection 'appearance' narrative is about resurrecting the 'visceral' sense-of-reality we are all born with before we become 'inducted" into the fantasy of consensual reality. An induction process the ancient practice of living resurrection is designed to resolve so we realise the reality that heaven is always at hand, before we die. "Repent, the kingdom of Heaven is at Hand." Who said that?
A bishop who is fluent in 4 additional languages, has written many many books, has a masters in philosophy and sacred theology, honorary doctorates in like 8 related subjects, lectured all over the world, been the president of a seminary and a visiting professor… I don’t think he lacks understanding, I think you’re making a judgment on a short clip when there is a wealth of resources you could access through his Word on Fire ministries.
Sad statement that I used to make because I was on the outside looking in. Come inside the church and lay down for a moment any preconceived ideas then you will see for yourself there’s much more here than you could have imagined. Good evening and God bless.
The church is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, and faithfully preserving the fullness of divine revelation. Open the eyes of your heart and mind to know the fullness of salvation.
I love you Bishop Barron ❤️ may the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you to speak the truth of the Gospels ❤ Praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️

A bishop who is fluent in 4 additional languages, has written many many books, has a masters in philosophy and sacred theology, honorary doctorates in like 8 related subjects, lectured all over the world, been the president of a seminary and a visiting professor… I don’t think he lacks understanding, I think you’re making a judgment on a short clip when there is a wealth of resources you could access through his Word on Fire ministries.
You lost me at catholic priest.
You were lost way before.
And you would know?
@@beeelzeebub9590 indeed.
You stopped listening at Catholic priest you mean.
they just want you to bow to the rcc
We do not bow to the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
We bow to the one, holy Triune God; Father, Sun and Holy Spirit.
@@rosaharris4750 Sun?

Sad statement that I used to make because I was on the outside looking in. Come inside the church and lay down for a moment any preconceived ideas then you will see for yourself there’s much more here than you could have imagined.
Good evening and God bless.
The church is the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, and faithfully preserving the fullness of divine revelation. Open the eyes of your heart and mind to know the fullness of salvation.
your uniform means you preach the wrong thing
