What is the "Sacred Heart of Jesus?" (#282)
Просмотров 13День назад
Source: www.podbean.com/eau/pb-iatug-1740dfb Catholics talk about the "Sacred Heart of Jesus." There are images, paintings, and devotional prayers dedicated to it, and Pope Francis just released a 30,000 word encyclical about it. To Protestants or American Evangelicals, the language and images feel kind of weird. But what is it? Greg and Cory unpack the concept, imagery, history, and practices....
From the Vault: What is Purgatory? (#280)
Просмотров 2014 дней назад
Source: www.podbean.com/eau/pb-mtt4i-1710cd1 The Catholic Church teaches that in addition to Heaven and Hell, there is a third possible destination for a soul upon death: Purgatory. Protestants reject this, but most don't really understand what Purgatory is and why it is vital to God's justice and the soul's journey toward full communion with Him.

Does Science Disprove Religion? (#266)
Просмотров 542 месяца назад
Source: www.podbean.com/eau/pb-dij46-16d2f08 A common objection to religious faith or belief in anything supernatural is that "Science" has disproved that there is anything outside of the material universe. This objection is often delivered with mockery and condescension for those ignorant fools clinging to religion. In this episode, Greg says, "Wait a minute? Is that actually true? How could t...

Why is Catholicism Hierarchical? (#195)
Monks determined how much of the funds they collected should be given to God in an interesting way too. They held the cash in their hands, said a prayer and tossed all of it skyward to God in the heavens. Whatever God did not keep and allow to fall back to them, they kept for themselves.
Same as they do today. Pray , preaching , work whether in farming, building small niche businesses ( wine , cheese , chocolate, baking ). Their goal is to be self sufficient . So they can spend their lifes living for God. ❤ And helping their neighbors.
Reminds me of Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi who famously: chopped wood for 3 hours, prayer for 3 hours and studied the Torah for 3 hours.
The job of science isn't to prove or disprove anything. Its function is to make observations. If those observations eliminate the need to explain things using stories of a god, so be it.
Does Science Disprove Religion? OF COURSE IT DOES..
😂 You cannot disprove that which reslly doesnt say anything...
41:03 🙏
1:48 "sext" is where the word "siesta" in Spanish comes from. In the Orthodox Church we call the prayer cycle "the Hours" or "Horologion" 🕯🕯🕯
This is such a quality show. Smart hosts, nice sound, good topics
Very well done. Thank you.
Most of the things we have today were created and founded by monks....
Obedience to God is through work.
It's always been corrupt. How come it lasted 2,000 years and hasn't folded?
This church caused my family's multigenerational trauma with its support for fascist regimes.
Define what you mean by "the church"?
Roman Catholic Church and in particular San Franciscan orders support of the WWII fascist regimes in Europe.
Cry some more lmao
This comment caused my family's multigenerational trauma with its whining and support of Democrat regimes.
Americans they have a huge lack of history, I thank the lord for me being born in a nation that was born for Christ and this nation is Portugal the first Europe’s nation state with one of their own as king and how the first king of Portugal a secret Templar was related to Bernard de Clairvaux, head of the Cistercians. who he was related to and how eleven knights created a new country and a refuge for the holy grail 🙏 and than later on after 500 years to evangelized over the whole world to make known the name of our lord Jesus as our true god and true man,among our brothers from Spain later on, all thanks for these nine men who formed a brotherhood called the night Templars in Jerusalem in 1118 to provide protection for pilgrims from traveling to the holy land, but this order of the temple existed a decade earlier on the opposite side of Europe ( Portugal ) that the protection of pilgrims was entrusted to a separate organization, and that in league with the Cistercian monks and the equally mysterious Order of Sion, the Templars executed one of history’s most daring and convert plans, the creation of Europe’s first Templar nation, Portugal, with night Templars who came from Israel to my little Portugal to establish a powerful nation to defend our true Christian faith of the divinity of Christ as true man and god, the mother of god,her virginity of our blessed mother and the holiness of Mary Magdalena etc. and to protect the holy grail because our enemies the Islamic and Muslims were invading Portugal and Spain and also they wanted to destroy the holy land and to make it disappear Christianity but all thanks to God in the first battle in Portugal by the power of our mighty God, as Afonso was praying the whole night our lord Jesus appeared to him on the cross and instructed him to draw his cross on their clothes of arms and on the flags and that Jesus himself with his legions were going to battle with them, so Jesus said to Afonso do not be afraid and that his cross was going to win against all of his enemies, viva Portugal 🇵🇹 and viva Spain 🇪🇸 the only nations in the world who evangelized over the pagan nations 🙏❤️and this brings me to Ephesians 6,10-17
You sure spit a beak full .. But yeah.
It’s funny you talking about people wanting to see the bible in your hands, my understanding is that in the early church with the priest facing east the congregation wanted to see the host after the consecration. So they would say “let us see” so priests started to lift the host above their head.
Great video!
Hey, great content! But, why are there only 4 episodes of this series? Where are the remaining sins? I can't find them on your channel 😐
This is fascinating and uplifting, but I'd like to see a video about the life and work of nuns in Medieval times.
Wealthy, and generous to a fault.
The best way to understand the basics of classical western monasticism is the maxim at Benedictine chapel doors “prayer is work” on the outside and “work is prayer” on the inside
We should put that on the front door of our houses or apartments.
Why do you propose a monk's report to me is still unreasonable.
This was brilliantly presented. Perfect timing for me to renew my faith and a reminder to invite God into all my activities. Thank you very much. I just subscribed. :)
We need to reintroduce this model in modern times. If not as rural recluses, as academics and technocrats.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for. Ask any Catholic convert if they think it is too hard to become a Catholic.
Acts 2:38-41 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added THAT DAY about three thousand souls.
Being in “communion with the Catholic Church” does not save you. Even if you follow all the rules and go to every mass. Jesus said you’ll know them by their fruits. Becoming a member of the church cannot save you and doesn’t make you somehow more holy in the eyes of God. Jesus never said to join his church. He said to repent and be baptized and you shall be saved. He said to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself. He never commanded to sit through a theology course and join a church. So by making people go through months of classes to be baptized the Catholic Church is creating a very unnecessary barrier and burden between people believing and then actually becoming baptized. Someone could potentially go through all of those things and get baptized without ever truly believing and still go to hell. Whereas a genuine believer would be denied the chance of Heaven because they were refused baptism on the basis of not having enough knowledge of the Catholic traditions. Mark 16:16, John 3:5
There’s no registration fee to join a Protestant church and you do have to be attending the church for some time and be involved to generally become a member. HOWEVER, if you decide to give your life over to Christ you can do so with a heartfelt repentant heart. And then moving forward you live your life for Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit, prayer and genuine faith in love for the Lord. In the Bible when someone decided to follow Christ it was always in that instant! They heard the gospel, repented and believed. They were immediately Christ’s followers. There was no half a year’s worth of classes and membership paperwork. You just followed Christ. So why would someone have to go through all of that now? It truly makes no sense.
I am writing this comment before having listened to the podcast, but in the Bible when the apostles preached to crowds they heard the gospel and were immediately baptized that day “having heard & believing”. It really should just be that simple.
stop showing the same fire image it's annoying and cheap
I love the clear boundary of our priests being celibate so that they can be a father to their parishioners. I was at a greek wedding in Greece and could not help noticing the priest enjoying the attention lavished upon him by an entourage of widowers of his parish.
Why you choose Orthodox headed by emperor's while Roman Catholic headed by the Pope the apostle of Christ the church of Jesus Christ
Great point! As I said in this and the previous episode, that's one of the reasons I did choose Roman Catholicism: because I believe in Petrine succession and that the pope is the legitimate head of the Church rather than the emperor.
Heyo! THanks for the podcast.
Very nice
Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing
Im sorry. No matter how much the modern day "christian" model of the church is evil, how does that equate to moving to a church that has done the greatest evil (over time of course)? Catholithism is not evil, but what about its history?
Didn't listen to the end because you are too loose in your comments. No, Catholics cannot use NFP because they have discerned and decided that's what's good for their family. It is made very clear that it must be for a*grave* reason with the help in discernment of a confessor.
I listened to every single word you pronounced in this podcast. And I must say it was a winding ride but trust me it was good.. I’m from Cameroon in Africa, and I would humbly like to reach to you personally..
This is great. I'm considering Catholicism so this podcast is quite useful. Keep up the good work.
There is such a large number of christians that embrace the lies of Trump, Globe Earth Denial, Evolution Denial, Vaccine Denial, etc...why, if christ leads them to "truth"? Christians clamor daily about embracing the so called "truth" of christ. Personally, I would never be able to trust the testimony of christians when it comes to christ because of the countless lies they embrace. The overwhelming examples of christians embracing lies makes their so called "truth" irrelevant and moot.
Religion is only crazy if you believe in it as factual. Like any fiction, it's fine if enjoyed as such and not forcibly inserted into others lives.
lmfao this is peak satire
Are christians crazy? No. However you're not even half baked, you're fully baked.
Cat-holicism is crazy, and unbiblical
Great video! Gracias! Indeed, Catholicism is the sanest you can get in a world gone crazy!
Christianity is built on lies... because God is against human sacrifice, silly christians.
Far from being impractical, it's the most "practical," common-sense thing to do because it's the most real way for anyone to live. I've lived as a non-believer and as a Catholic. I know many non-believers and many Catholics. The difference is palpable. There is no true joy and peace of soul, nor full forgiveness without Christ. A non-believer can only forgive up to a certain point. A non-believer can have plenty of pleasure but no true and permanent joy.
Excellent video! Thank you!
No, Christians are asked to provide evidence of credibility, reliability and plausibility -- to point to ANY source that can provide proof of or even compelling evidence for their central claims. That's not a different standard.
The Nazi movement was not, on the whole, atheistic. It inherited and built upon centuries of religious-based prejudice. While Hitler himself indulged pagan (not atheist) symbolism and mythos, the lion's share of Nazi leadership was soundly, unambiguously Christian.
I'm sorry Christians, you're not crazy, you are just really, really, really impressionable and you believe in magic. In a normal world that makes you silly if you are an adult. We don't hate you. We want you to practice your religion as you wish. The problem is that you have way too much political power and your beliefs in magic and spirits and ghosts and Jesus is starting to affect the day to day life of people who do not believe in those thing. We need freedom from religion too and this video just popped up on my feed.
