@@Jesusislord4569 Dylan, Saw your comment. I, as a practicing Catholic, agree with you on the need to read the Bible often in order to be inspired with its taching. On the other hand, I must emphasize that our Lord Jesus Christ founded one Eklessia or Church to whom He asked to be perfectly one. Nowhere did our Lord hinted of division based on personal reading of inspired writings. Remember, our Lord setup a Magisterium with Peter as its head to feed and tend His flock in his absence. Moreover, our Lord prayed personally for Peter for the strengthening of his faith in order to guide His one Church. Ask yourself: Did our Lord's prayers for the leader of His Church stopped with Peter in the first century? The answer is NOT! Our Lord, as you know, went on to say in: Matthew 28:19-20 19. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, 20. teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE.” Therefore, the promise given to Peter is carried forward to all his future successors for the benefit of all Christians down to the ages, in order to remain "perfectly one" just as Jesus wanted.

@@geoffjs That passage says nothing about Jesus starting the catholic church. Paradoxically, Jesus destroys the catholic church in Revelation chapter 18
For the first 300 years of Christianity, there was no Bible as we know it today. Christians had the Old Testament Septuagint, and literally hundreds of other books from which to choose. The Catholic Church realized early on that she had to decide which of these books were inspired and which ones weren't. The debates raged between theologians, Bishops, and Church Fathers, for several centuries as to which books were inspired and which ones weren't. In the meantime, several Church Councils or Synods, were convened to deal with the matter, notably, Rome in 382, Hippo in 393, and Carthage in 397 and 419. The debates sometimes became bitter on both sides. One of the most famous was between St. Jerome, who felt the seven books were not canonical, and St. Augustine who said they were. Protestants who write about this will invariably mention St. Jerome and his opposition, and conveniently omit the support of St. Augustine. I must point out here that Church Father's writings are not infallible statements, and their arguments are merely reflections of their own private opinions. When some say St. Jerome was against the inclusion of the seven books, they are merely showing his personal opinion of them. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. However, A PERSONS PRIVATE OPINION DOES NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH AT ALL. There are always three sides to every story, this side, that side, and the side of truth. Whether Jerome's position, or Augustine's position was the correct position, had to be settled by a third party, and that third party was the Catholic Church. Now the story had a dramatic change, as the Pope stepped in to settle the matter. In concurrence with the opinion of St. Augustine, and being prompted by the Holy Spirit, Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus", in which he listed the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. He then asked St. Jerome to use this canon and to write a new Bible translation which included an Old Testament of 46 books, which were all in the Septuagint, and a New Testament of 27 books. ROME HAD SPOKEN, THE ISSUE WAS SETTLED. "THE CHURCH RECOGNIZED ITS IMAGE IN THE INSPIRED BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. THAT IS HOW IT DETERMINED THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE🤦♀️
The old testament was not meant fir all people but only fir the Hebrews and later Jews. Jesus actually stated that HD was sent to the list sheep of Isreal. Again by whise authority did the protestant Church reject the bible authorised by the Catholic Church?
the church compiled it and thru the holy spirit determind which books were canonical and approved the canon. not every book in the nt was immediatly recognized as inspired
by 4 minutes in, the Truth is turned upside down, as I expected from a Catholic perspective The RCC did NOT decide which writings were Canon...GOD wrote both Testaments- the recipients RECOGNIZED them. The CHURCH did not write the Bible. My computer is NOT writing these comments, I am. The laptop is my instrument. If I say, "there sits a blue pickup truck"; it is NOT a blue pickup truck because I say it is...I recognize what it is. The holy Spirit testifies to what is scripture. The moment an epistle/book was written, it WAS canon, whether anyone believes it or not. By the mid second century all 27 books were written, copied and shared among the churches throughout the Roman empire. As for the Old Testament, same thing. As soon as a "book" was written, it was CANON, as it was written by God. The Jews had the complete canon by 400 bc. The RCC ADDED the extra books after the reformation began.
@@lois2997 Which books in the Bible are written by catholics? Which books in the Bible are written to catholics? Which books in the Bible talk about the catholics and the catholic church? What books in the Bible use the word Catholic?
@@casey8726Catholic just means “universal”. Is is the One, Holy, UNIVERSAL and Apostolic church founded by Jesus. When the Bible talks about the church such as “the church is the pillar and bulwark of truth” in 1Timothy 3:15 it is referring to the only church that existed at that time which is now called the Catholic Church. It’s an historical fact.
The idea that disciples of Christ wrote the Gospels is purely based on tradition as far as I can gather. They may have, but I don’t think we can categorically say this about the Gospels.
The holy spirit involved during the writing process, the gospel of mark even though it was written by mark, but the source of the story came from peter. So they can assure that it was the truth. The same goes with other gospels.
You can find it in Eusebius' book, Historia Ecclesiastica (Book iii. No 39, verse 15), Eusebius of Caesarea provides both information about Papias and quotations from Papias. Papias (60 - 130 AD) was the bishop of Hierapolis, he was one of Apostle John's (15 - 100 AD) disciples along with Polycarp. This is also confirmed by Irenaeus (Polycarp's disciple) Meanwhile the Eusebius (260 - 339 AD) was bishop of Caesarea, he wrote several book related to Apostles, their disciples, and their teachings. "(15) “This also the presbyter said: Mark, having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately, though not in order, whatsoever he remembered of the things said or done by Christ. For he neither heard the Lord nor followed him, but afterward, as I said, he followed Peter, who adapted his teaching to the needs of his hearers, but with no intention of giving a connected account of the Lord’s discourses, so that Mark committed no error while he thus wrote some things as he remembered them. For he was careful of one thing, not to omit any of the things which he had heard, and not to state any of them falsely.” These things are related by Papias concerning Mark." (Eusebius, Historia Ecclesiastica, Book iii. No 39, verse 15) or in original text written as below : ‘ [15] τοῦθ̓ ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἔλεγεν: Μάρκος μὲν ἑρμηνευτὴς Πέτρου γενόμενος, ὅσα ἐμνημόνευσεν, ἀκριβῶς ἔγραψεν, οὐ μέντοι τάξει, τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου ἢ λεχθέντα ἢ πραχθέντα. οὔτε γὰρ ἤκουσεν τοῦ κυρίου οὔτε παρηκολούθησεν αὐτῷ, ὕστερον δέ, ὡς ἔφην, Πέτρῳ: ὃς πρὸς τὰς χρείας ἐποιεῖτο τὰς διδασκαλίας, ἀλλ̓ οὐχ ὥσπερ σύνταξιν τῶν κυριακῶν ποιούμενος λογίων, ὥστε οὐδὲν ἥμαρτεν Μάρκος οὕτως ἔνια γράψας ὡς ἀπεμνημόνευσεν. ἑνὸς γὰρ ἐποιήσατο πρόνοιαν, τοῦ μηδὲν ὧν ἤκουσεν παραλιπεῖν ἢ ψεύσασθαί τι ἐν αὐτοῖς.’
Why do so many people want to substitute the God-given name of "Christian" (Acts 11:26) for the name of a DENOMINATION? Catholic, Baptist, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness etc. etc. They are all just TRIBAL names, not the name of the RELIGION - Christianity!

There is more than one way to teach Scripture: Passion plays, drama, song, poetry, hymns, story-telling, high crosses with biblical scenes embellishing them, paintings, stained glass windows... These tools were used when people were illiterate or unable to afford a bible. They are still used.

The Bible is Gods divine canon Word reveled to us through his divine power and wisdom, and I trust in Him to have revealed it perfectly and through which ever medium was most effective by His perfect choices. Everything and everyone else is man taking credit for what God established for us to know before the creation of the universe.

First of all Jesus was not a religious man, and what ever happened to the other Apostles books, the word bible (biblia)is in Greek meaning book or books, and why were the Gnostic books burnt and the Gnostic people killed , if you read (John 8:42-46) it say something like you do your fathers work your father the devil, and Jesus is not God it says so in ( John 5:41) ,( Rev 19:10)( Rev22:9) he is just a servant and does not want humans to worship him read it, Jesus was a spiritual homeless man, religion is manipulating everyone, the book of Tobias the Angel Raphael showed Tobit how to do a ritual by burning a fish liver,heartland gallbladder to get rid of an evil spirit from a girl and to restore the eye sight of Tobias that sounds like witchcraft to me , and the bible say divination is evil , but Jesus is a divine being and he also used divinity , the prophets also used divination to foretell the future, so did Jesus foretell the future, take the blind folds off religion and the government are using mind control, did Jesus not say the truth will set you free, Jesus was an ascended master , religion is using Jesus for clout
4TH CENTURY THE FIRST USE OF THE WORD "BIBLE": It came from the Greek word "biblos" which means the inner bark of the papyrus, paper-reed, from which paper was originally made, in Egypt. The Latin form "Biblia" spelled with a capital letter, came to mean "the Book of Books," "The Book" by way of pre-eminence, the inspired Book, etc. The Holy Scriptures were first called the Bible by St. Chrysostom, the Catholic Archbishop of Constantinople, in the 4th century.

And why go and pray in a church or a temple if out body is a temple, did Jesus not say don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray standing so others can see them , but go in your room and pray to the father so that he can see you, what did Jesus mean in (John 8:42-46) and why would God allow a girl that's gets raped to marry her rapists? And if the Bible God is loving and forgiving, why did he have innocent woman and children kill (Numbers 31:17-18) and they were to keep all virgin girls for themselves, when the 10 commandments say you shall not kill and why is there slavery in the Bible ?

I, as a practicing Catholic, agree with you on the need to read the Bible often in order to be inspired with its taching.
On the other hand, I must emphasize that our Lord Jesus Christ founded one Eklessia or Church to whom He asked to be perfectly one. Nowhere did our Lord hinted of division based on personal reading of inspired writings. Remember, our Lord setup a Magisterium with Peter as its head to feed and tend His flock in his absence. Moreover, our Lord prayed personally for Peter for the strengthening of his faith in order to guide His one Church.
Ask yourself: Did our Lord's prayers for the leader of His Church stopped with Peter in the first century?
The answer is NOT! Our Lord, as you know, went on to say in:
Matthew 28:19-20
19. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,
20. teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, UNTIL THE END OF THE AGE.”
Therefore, the promise given to Peter is carried forward to all his future successors for the benefit of all Christians down to the ages, in order to remain "perfectly one" just as Jesus wanted.

If catholics read the Bible, they don't, they would learn the truth and see that they have been deceived by the catholic church. Catholic lies and the Bible don't mix.
Very good
I read somewhere that Matthew didn't write Matthew but that the members of a church he founded wrote it in Aramaic originally.
"The gospel according to Matthew" wouldn't have to mean he specifically wrote it but that his journey with Jesus and His teachings that Matthew passed on to others were written down and thus attributed to him.
The problem is there is absolutely no evidence of this. Every single full copy of Matthew we ever had attributes it to Matthew, who was one of the Apostles who could definitely write.
What church did Mathew found and start?
what version is the bible?
The Catholic Bible. Remember when Constantine ran the Roman Empire he made his bible the official Bible and religion.
i love reading bible i have my own catholic bible
Please read and understand what Jesus says about prayer. Matthew chapter 6 verses 1-15. Jesus condemns the rosary.

Who founded the catholic church?

Wait!!! I.wanna understand; THE CHURCH WAS FOUNDED BEFORE THE BIBLE... AND .. AROUND WHEN
For the first 300 years of Christianity, there was no Bible as we know it today. Christians had the Old Testament Septuagint, and literally hundreds of other books from which to choose. The Catholic Church realized early on that she had to decide which of these books were inspired and which ones weren't. The debates raged between theologians, Bishops, and Church Fathers, for several centuries as to which books were inspired and which ones weren't. In the meantime, several Church Councils or Synods, were convened to deal with the matter, notably, Rome in 382, Hippo in 393, and Carthage in 397 and 419. The debates sometimes became bitter on both sides. One of the most famous was between St. Jerome, who felt the seven books were not canonical, and St. Augustine who said they were. Protestants who write about this will invariably mention St. Jerome and his opposition, and conveniently omit the support of St. Augustine. I must point out here that Church Father's writings are not infallible statements, and their arguments are merely reflections of their own private opinions. When some say St. Jerome was against the inclusion of the seven books, they are merely showing his personal opinion of them. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. However, A PERSONS PRIVATE OPINION DOES NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH AT ALL. There are always three sides to every story, this side, that side, and the side of truth. Whether Jerome's position, or Augustine's position was the correct position, had to be settled by a third party, and that third party was the Catholic Church.
Now the story had a dramatic change, as the Pope stepped in to settle the matter. In concurrence with the opinion of St. Augustine, and being prompted by the Holy Spirit, Pope St. Damasus I, at the Council of Rome in 382, issued a decree appropriately called, "The Decree of Damasus", in which he listed the canonical books of both the Old and New Testaments. He then asked St. Jerome to use this canon and to write a new Bible translation which included an Old Testament of 46 books, which were all in the Septuagint, and a New Testament of 27 books.
ROME HAD SPOKEN, THE ISSUE WAS SETTLED.
"THE CHURCH RECOGNIZED ITS IMAGE IN THE INSPIRED BOOKS OF THE BIBLE. THAT IS HOW IT DETERMINED THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE🤦♀️
A person's private opinion does not change the truth at all.
The old testament was not meant fir all people but only fir the Hebrews and later Jews. Jesus actually stated that HD was sent to the list sheep of Isreal. Again by whise authority did the protestant Church reject the bible authorised by the Catholic Church?
Did catholics write the Bible?
the church compiled it and thru the holy spirit determind which books were canonical and approved the canon. not every book in the nt was immediatly recognized as inspired
@@wjm5972 Did catholics write the Bible?
No. catholics did not write the Bible
No
jewish converts , the 1st catholics@@casey8726
by 4 minutes in, the Truth is turned upside down, as I expected from a Catholic perspective
The RCC did NOT decide which writings were Canon...GOD wrote both Testaments- the recipients RECOGNIZED them. The CHURCH did not write the Bible.
My computer is NOT writing these comments, I am. The laptop is my instrument. If I say, "there sits a blue pickup truck"; it is NOT a blue pickup truck because
I say it is...I recognize what it is. The holy Spirit testifies to what is scripture. The moment an epistle/book was written, it WAS canon, whether anyone believes it or not.
By the mid second century all 27 books were written, copied and shared among the churches throughout the Roman empire.
As for the Old Testament, same thing. As soon as a "book" was written, it was CANON, as it was written by God. The Jews had the complete canon by 400 bc.
The RCC ADDED the extra books after the reformation began.

@@casey8726Catholic just means “universal”. Is is the One, Holy, UNIVERSAL and Apostolic church founded by Jesus. When the Bible talks about the church such as “the church is the pillar and bulwark of truth” in 1Timothy 3:15 it is referring to the only church that existed at that time which is now called the Catholic Church. It’s an historical fact.
The idea that disciples of Christ wrote the Gospels is purely based on tradition as far as I can gather. They may have, but I don’t think we can categorically say this about the Gospels.
The holy spirit involved during the writing process, the gospel of mark even though it was written by mark, but the source of the story came from peter. So they can assure that it was the truth. The same goes with other gospels.
@@MyPoincare What documentation suggests this is the case?
You can find it in Eusebius' book, Historia Ecclesiastica (Book iii. No 39, verse 15), Eusebius of Caesarea provides both information about Papias and quotations from Papias.
Papias (60 - 130 AD) was the bishop of Hierapolis, he was one of Apostle John's (15 - 100 AD) disciples along with Polycarp. This is also confirmed by Irenaeus (Polycarp's disciple)
Meanwhile the Eusebius (260 - 339 AD) was bishop of Caesarea, he wrote several book related to Apostles, their disciples, and their teachings.
"(15) “This also the presbyter said: Mark, having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately, though not in order, whatsoever he remembered of the things said or done by Christ. For he neither heard the Lord nor followed him, but afterward, as I said, he followed Peter, who adapted his teaching to the needs of his hearers, but with no intention of giving a connected account of the Lord’s discourses, so that Mark committed no error while he thus wrote some things as he remembered them. For he was careful of one thing, not to omit any of the things which he had heard, and not to state any of them falsely.” These things are related by Papias concerning Mark."
(Eusebius, Historia Ecclesiastica, Book iii. No 39, verse 15)
or in original text written as below :
‘ [15] τοῦθ̓ ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἔλεγεν: Μάρκος μὲν ἑρμηνευτὴς Πέτρου γενόμενος, ὅσα ἐμνημόνευσεν, ἀκριβῶς ἔγραψεν, οὐ μέντοι τάξει, τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου ἢ λεχθέντα ἢ πραχθέντα. οὔτε γὰρ ἤκουσεν τοῦ κυρίου οὔτε παρηκολούθησεν αὐτῷ, ὕστερον δέ, ὡς ἔφην, Πέτρῳ: ὃς πρὸς τὰς χρείας ἐποιεῖτο τὰς διδασκαλίας, ἀλλ̓ οὐχ ὥσπερ σύνταξιν τῶν κυριακῶν ποιούμενος λογίων, ὥστε οὐδὲν ἥμαρτεν Μάρκος οὕτως ἔνια γράψας ὡς ἀπεμνημόνευσεν. ἑνὸς γὰρ ἐποιήσατο πρόνοιαν, τοῦ μηδὲν ὧν ἤκουσεν παραλιπεῖν ἢ ψεύσασθαί τι ἐν αὐτοῖς.’

Catholic theologian? That's kind of an oxymoron when it comes to the vast majority of even the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. But good to know there are a few of them! And of course, the Deuterocanonical books do not bear the earmarks of the rest of Scripture, yet "the Church" includes it? Hm...
God. The Bible is Gods divine canon Word reveled to us through his divine power and wisdom, and I trust in Him to have revealed it perfectly and through which ever medium was most effective by His perfect choices. Everything and everyone else is man taking credit for what God established for us to know before the creation of the universe. Man did not impact that, and man did not contribute to scripture; nor could they if 100% of humans tried altogether to do so.
Step aside Catholics, this is not your book; your book is the Catechism, scripture is the book of Christians.

First of all Jesus was not a religious man, and what ever happened to the other Apostles books, the word bible (biblia)is in Greek meaning book or books, and why were the Gnostic books burnt and the Gnostic people killed , if you read (John 8:42-46) it say something like you do your fathers work your father the devil, and Jesus is not God it says so in ( John 5:41) ,( Rev 19:10)( Rev22:9) he is just a servant and does not want humans to worship him read it, Jesus was a spiritual homeless man, religion is manipulating everyone, the book of Tobias the Angel Raphael showed Tobit how to do a ritual by burning a fish liver,heartland gallbladder to get rid of an evil spirit from a girl and to restore the eye sight of Tobias that sounds like witchcraft to me , and the bible say divination is evil , but Jesus is a divine being and he also used divinity , the prophets also used divination to foretell the future, so did Jesus foretell the future, take the blind folds off religion and the government are using mind control, did Jesus not say the truth will set you free, Jesus was an ascended master , religion is using Jesus for clout
4TH CENTURY THE FIRST USE OF THE WORD "BIBLE": It came from the Greek word "biblos" which means the inner bark of the papyrus, paper-reed, from which paper was originally made, in Egypt. The Latin form "Biblia" spelled with a capital letter, came to mean "the Book of Books," "The Book" by way of pre-eminence, the inspired Book, etc. The Holy Scriptures were first called the Bible by St. Chrysostom, the Catholic Archbishop of Constantinople, in the 4th century.

@@biblealone9201 finally some that knows I've asked a few pastors and they can't tell me ,so why was Jesus missing for 18 years ? And is Divine , Divinity and Divination not the same? And why don't people believe in reincarnation if Jesus said Elijah returned as John the Baptist, (Luke 1:17) we are all spirit living in a human body or was Jesus lying? And why go and pray in a church or a temple if out body is a temple, did Jesus not say don't be like the hypocrites who love to pray standing so others can see them , but go in your room and pray to the father so that he can see you, what did Jesus mean in (John 8:42-46) and why would God allow a girl that's gets raped to marry her rapists? And if the Bible God is loving and forgiving, why did he have innocent woman and children kill (Numbers 31:17-18) and they were to keep all virgin girls for themselves, when the 10 commandments say you shall not kill and why is there slavery in the Bible ? Does the Bible not contradict itself? I was a Christian man but the spirit of God showed me things that are not of God in the Bible now I am a spiritual person
@@JoseSanchez-zq8kg Read the bible with the context that God's revelation of Himself is progressive. If God in the OT is vengeful and punishing is that because God is unloving? OR is it because humankind (collective consciousness) is slow and dim witted?

@@tco13v with all respect I believe in Jesus but he was not this religious figure religion makes him to be , why did the pharisees hated him ?

But religion wants us blinded to the truth , the old testament did the Angel Raphael not show tobit how to do a ritual using the fish's heart, liver and gallbladders, to get rid of an evil spirit, and to heal tobias from blindness that sound like divination to me
