Talking of idolatry, we all have the little megalomaniac god of ego inside, who demands tribute. We have made an image of ourselves, and that false image is quick to want things. “I know this thing is wrong but IIIII must know it, IIIII must have this thing or experience, or i am foolishly missing out”. To be rightly worshipping is to be truly humble, meaning not missing a single opportunity of expressing gratitude for the tiniest of instances we can be grateful for.
Agree with your statement, except “rightly worshipping is to be…” The word worship that was mentioned,biblically and literally means sacrifice as in action. Virtues (humility, etc.) are not related to action of sacrifice, rather it’s a way to show love, dedication, to your Beloved (the Holy Trinity). In the Old Covenant of the Bible animal sacrifice was required as an offering to God, where as Christ became the ultimate sacrifice fulfilled in the New Covenant by his sacrifice on the “altar” of the cross, which, again, was the fulfillment of the Passover from the Old to the New: the Israelites were required to sacrifice an unblemished spotless lamb (in the NC=Jesus) which is in Exodus 12 and fulfilled in John 6:28-70. Unleavened bread like Manna/Eucharist/ Bread from Heaven (NC=Jesus) They were to have the 4 cups of wine ( NC= wine to blood= Jesus). The Passover was simple. Jesus consecrated the bread as his body and the cup of his blood in the new and EVERLASTING covenant. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME/ A MEMORIAL. Not “remember, but in memorial and everlasting until the end of time (on earth). There’s so much more on the details. Read Dr. Scott Hahn’s The Lamb’s Supper and Fourth Cup.
The three munera, offices, of all catholics is: prophet, priest, and king. Offices, duties, and obligations that we share in with Jesus Christ by virtue of our baptism. Thus, we are able to rightly worship God and live our lives in union with Jesus.
@@bcalvert321you have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 man made protestant CULTS. Protestant’s are NOT Christian. Protestant”baptism”IS INVALID. The Bible a Catholic book condemns protestantism
@@tjseaney_we are baptized priest, prophet and king. Catholic Catechism “1268 The baptized have become "living stones" to be "built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood." By Baptism they share in the priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal mission. They are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that [they] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [them] out of darkness into his marvelous light." Baptism gives a share in the common priesthood of all believers.”
@tjseaney_ all baptized persons have the common priesthood and can offer to God prayer and sacrifice, but only ordained priests can offer the sacrifice of the Holy Mass.
The Catholic priest is unlike any other minister, being able to consecrate bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. They are celibate as was Christ and devote their entire being to God and His ministry. They lay down their lives, body, soul and spirit as Christ did. This was ordained by Christ himself and testified to in the bible by his apostles and disciples. Jesus instituted only ONE church and prayed to the Father that they all may be ONE as Jesus and the Father are ONE. Don't take my word for it. Go to the source, Jesus himself, and ask to be shown without question the identity of the church He established. God bless you.
This is going to be long and I hope thorough enough. To explain it, hopefully better, the priest doesn’t change it. God’s power comes down at the point of the epiclesis which is the priest “calling down”, invoking the Holy Spirit’s intervention, if you will, which Jesus did at the Last Supper, to change the accidents: the physical appearances of bread and wine that remain after the Holy Spirit changes their substance into the body and blood of Christ during the Eucharist. "There are a number of ways in which God has “foreshadowed”the work of Christ in the Eucharist. He has done so through the various signs of bread and wine in the Old Testament, Abram’s interaction with Melchizedek, the Passover, and the manna and quail the Israelites ate in the desert." Jesus fulfills the Old Covenant in what is also called “prefigurement” in the New Covenant. There are so many prefigurements from the Old to the New. It’s amazing, beautiful and intertwines the Covenants. The Old is not thrown out, it fulfills what was in the Old to the New. Continued….⬇️
Read John 6: 28-70. Especially, verses: 28-29 - ‘how can we do the WORKS of God’ 30-35 - the “Sign” 36-43 - their unbelief-especially the Jewish Pharisees 44-47 - responds to their unbelief 48-53 - “Amen,Amen”/so be it; he starts his discourse of HIS body, HIS FLESH as the new manna to EAT. Written in the Greek, “John uses the words “esthio” and “trogo” to emphasize the physicality of eating- literally eating His flesh. “Esthio” appears in verses 5, 23, 26, 31, 49, 50, 51, 53, and 58, while “trogo” appears in verses 54, 56, 57, and 58.” That’s why the Pharisees and some of his disciples walked away. Yes, Jesus meant “EAT” his “REAL FLESH”. What they didn’t do was to TRUST and BELIEVE that he would feed them spiritually through physical, tangible means of his real flesh and blood through “bread/manna” of the OC, to the Word made Flesh, Who is the new Manna and Bread from Heaven. 54-58 - Jesus doubles down, knowing they can’t believe he wants them to really eat his body and blood (which is at the same time, spiritual food and drink under the accidents of bread and wine, so that it isn’t pagan cannibalism and is given in a tangible way). The last supper was the beginning of the priesthood to the Apostles. When they murmur and question, Jesus says, “Amen, Amen”/so be it…… 59-70 - Jesus triples down “ Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. 71-72 - Judas, the betrayer, is to show that there will always be a wolf among the sheep; it won’t be perfect, but it must be passed on in the worship (means “sacrifice”;this is why the Church for 2000 years has the Sacrifice of the Mass/ Jesus’ sacrifice given to us to be supernaturally and spiritually fed; to offer our heart and souls, trust and obedience to him along with our petitions; and in remembrance of Christ, which the Apostles and early church fathers (please research and read their writings) did and is still to this day. It was the Church). Continued⬇️…. Caveat about the church fathers, you’ll read a few variations of the. Mass and how they received the Eucharist. Remember,the Apostles and early church fathers/bishops/priests eventually realized God want it to be in unity in a universal manner, so wherever you go it will be the same. Much was defined in the Church councils as to the most reverent and holy way of doing what would be pleasing to God, not man. Also, the history of the Roman Empire goes back to 31 B.C. to 1453 A.D. with the fall of Constantinople. “The Catholic Church used Latin for its masses for many reasons, including: Unity Some say that Latin expressed the unity of the Church across the world, as a single family undivided by language or culture. Dignity Latin was considered an elevated language, well-suited for the liturgy's lofty nature. Theological opinion at the time held that the Mass, or Divine Liturgy, should use the language of scholars as a sign of dignity. Preservation Latin doesn't change in meaning, making it suitable for preserving doctrine. History Latin was the language spoken in the area that is now Vatican City during the Roman Empire. Christians in Rome also adopted Latin, and it became the Church's language in the fourth century.” So that ALL BE ONE!!!
Just reading scripture, the text in the Bible, is it the same as understanding the translation of the language at the time, but also the language of the actual writings of the Bible. Hebrew in mostly Greek, some Aramaic and some Latin in NC. Re: NC “Currently, 1,600 Jewish epitaphs (funerary inscriptions) are extant from ancient Judea dating from 300 BC to 500 AD. Approximately 70 percent are in Greek, about 12 percent are in Latin, and only 18 percent are in Hebrew or Aramaic.” So, one needs to understand the difference in meaning of the English translation related to the original language.
TJ the Church needs your enthusiasm, knowledge and leadership. I've been Catholic since 2017, was raised southern Pentecostal. You have skills man!! Peace, Joy and Love in the Most Holy Light of Christ Jesus ❤
Great video, I'd have to say though I don't think Catholics and Protestants differ too much on their position on priest. The Catachism of the Catholic Church has this to say 1547 "The ministerial or hierarchical priesthood of bishops and priests, and the common priesthood of all the faithful participate, "each in its own proper way, in the one priesthood of Christ." While being "ordered one to another," they differ essentially.22 In what sense? While the common priesthood of the faithful is exercised by the unfolding of baptismal grace --a life of faith, hope, and charity, a life according to the Spirit--, the ministerial priesthood is at the service of the common priesthood. It is directed at the unfolding of the baptismal grace of all Christians. The ministerial priesthood is a means by which Christ unceasingly builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its own sacrament, the sacrament of Holy Orders" It seems while all people are called to be priests it comes to your vocation as far as how you will carry out your priesthood. May God bless you all!
You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 protestant CULT. Protestant’s are NOT Christian. Protestant”baptism”IS INVALID. The Bible a Catholic book condemns protestantism
One of the biggest temptations we Catholics face is to turn the Roman Catholic church itself into an idol. We need to remember that we are followers of Jesus sent to evangelize the world, and that is the essence of what it means to be Catholic...
@@andy41417 A holy, catholic, and apostolic church is not confined by sectarian boundaries. "...a lawyer, asked Jesus a question to test him. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’" (Matt: 22: 35-37). The biggest temptation for any person is the temptation that succeeds in luring that person into sin. When anyone - including Catholics like me - yields to the temptation to think their Church has a monopoly on the flow of God's grace, that person has fallen into the sin of idolizing their church. I know people of many denominations, including Catholics, who think only the members of their church will be saved. Quite frankly, for any mere mortal or any church to usurp the role of Jesus and judge who God will find accept is idolatry. The seven deadly sins most certainly do lure people to sin because whatever the deadly sin they commit, they first turn it into an idol and give it priority of God's will...
We Catholics believe in the priesthood of all, but ordained priesthood & episcopate is elevated because Jesus didn't ordain everyone. He chose the 12 and in the Acts, they chose Matthias to replace Judas who has abandoned his office. But we all can offer up everything we have to God as we are all priests. In Numbers, there are different kinds of priesthood, in Timothy, there's diaconate, presbyterate, all performing sacrificial offering to God but each doing what is rightly ordered for him to do. Not scattered but one, so effectively, it is One if everything act their part. That's why we hv one body but different organs.
Very good video. But one thing, you have the doctrine of Catholicism incorrect. We are all called to be "God-Like.". And yes, Idolatry is original sin. If you don't worship God, you end up worshipping something else.
@fredricos9468 A 2018 study by three criminologists revealed that hundreds of claims of abuse are made every year against pastors and other Protestant church leaders (despite the fact that most Protestant pastors are married). According to the study’s authors:
@@brianmelville520 I think they don't allow priest to marry because along the way they accumulate wealth. If they have no wife or children, the money stays with the church. Just a thought 🤔
I never heard his "scriptural" reasoning as to why a multitude of priests etc committed sexual battery on people in their care, with the knowledge and implied consent of their superiors, for decades if not centuries.
Not reasoning. Explanation. Based on a false vision (ie evil) of their role. Similar to any “caring” professional who abuses those on their care. Whether they follow a religion or not. Don’t blame God for the sin.
@@anthonyhulse1248 I never blame God for anything. Although I have to admit, if God wanted to prove he has nothing to do with catholicism, he chose a fairly effective method! You're missing the most important part of the entire disgusting mess. According to catholics, this is God's church. This is the God that created the heavens and the earth and everything therein and on. This is the church that Jesus is returning to take up with him to rule and reign for eternity. It is also the church that, according to scripture, is clothed in pure white and is spotless and blameless and an outstanding testimony to God. Point A. If this was indeed God's Church, God would have dealt with that mess at its inception. Point B. Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Do you actually believe that that scripture describes the catholic religion? Or, if indeed this is God's church (which it absolutely isn't) that God was powerless to intervene?
@@brucedavenport7016 the Catholic Church doesn’t believe it is blameless and spotless. The head of the church was Peter. The one who denied Jesus, the one Jesus rebutted. So no we do not think we are spotless. Anything that has happened in the Catholic Church all the scandals etc , that doesn’t mean the church is bad. For one it never taught us to do anything out of scripture. Recently there have been two big name Protestants pastor on the news I can only think of Tony Evan’s. There have been plenty who have done bad things, Protestants have killed several Catholics. Here in America during colonization, you guys forced us to go to your churches, we couldn’t have our churches or even own land or vote. You came out with the Manifest destiny in order to kill all the native Americans. Came out with the sin of Ham to own slaves. As charity gave Native Americans blankets full of smallpox. You have sects where mass suicides happened. The same Protestants that claim They are Jesus church. You read the Old Testament you can own slaves. Does all the murder, rape mean God is not real or does it prove Protestants and Catholics are wrong. None it proves we have bad people. There is nothing you can do about that. On the other hand it looks like you don’t read scripture. Timothy is probably the most important to show Jesus left a visible church. 2: Timothy 2:2 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 1 timothy 5:22 22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure. 2 Timothy 1:6 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. Acts 6:5-6 This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. 21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you The apostles choose church elders, no one just popped and went to seminary school Where is seminary school in the Bible? Jesus promises he would build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail. Matthew 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 18 15 “If your brother or sister[a] sins,[b] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[c] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as a tax collector We see early Christian’s use the church to settle the dispute of circumcision. The council of Jerusalem. The Catholic Church is a continuation of it. As you see Jesus left a church a visible church to feed our spirit. He didn’t just drop a book and told us to figure it out.
It was largely tied to the admittance to the priesthood of people with strong homosexual tendencies. It was 81% homosexual abuse, not pedophilia. Every institution in the west from public schools (" a hundred times worse" - Charol Shakeshaft President's Commission on abuse in the public schools) . The BBC, all religious institutions. Of more interest is why do people overwhelmingly focus on the abuse in the Catholic church. Incidentally, it was the "psychology experts" who advised the church that declared some offenders as fit to resume service. We learned better. Cheers .

I can tell you without hesitation that we have seen cases in many religious settings, from traveling evangelists to mainstream ministers to rabbis and others.”
Until God DRAWS me to Christ for salvation (John 6:44), until God circumcises (Deuteronomy 30:6) my deceitful and wicked heart (Jeremiah 17:9), I am not capable of pleasing HIM in any way.
Yes and the Catholic Church has yet to do anything about the clergy and sexual abuse ! They say they do and it’s so obvious they do not follow through but continue to move the abusers to another job or another country !
That is simply not true. There has been an immense response and Catholic churches have the lowest abuse rate in the world today as independently tested.

You're missing the most important part of the entire disgusting mess.
According to catholics, this is God's church.
This is the God that created the heavens and the earth and everything therein and on.
This is the church that Jesus is returning to take up with him to rule and reign for eternity.
It is also the church that, according to scripture, is clothed in pure white and is spotless and blameless and an outstanding testimony to God.
Point A. If this was indeed God's Church, God would have dealt with that mess at its inception.
Point B. Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Do you actually believe that that scripture describes the catholic religion?
Or, if indeed this is God's church (which it absolutely isn't) that God was powerless to intervene?
@@brucedavenport7016 the Catholic Church doesn’t believe it is blameless and spotless. The head of the church was Peter. The one who denied Jesus, the one Jesus rebutted. So no we do not think we are spotless.
Anything that has happened in the Catholic Church all the scandals etc , that doesn’t mean the church is bad. For one it never taught us to do anything out of scripture.
Recently there have been two big name Protestants pastor on the news I can only think of Tony Evan’s. There have been plenty who have done bad things, Protestants have killed several Catholics. Here in America during colonization, you guys forced us to go to your churches, we couldn’t have our churches or even own land or vote. You came out with the Manifest destiny in order to kill all the native Americans. Came out with the sin of Ham to own slaves. As charity gave Native Americans blankets full of smallpox. You have sects where mass suicides happened. The same Protestants that claim They are Jesus church.
You read the Old Testament you can own slaves.
Does all the murder, rape mean God is not real or does it prove Protestants and Catholics are wrong. None it proves we have bad people. There is nothing you can do about that.
On the other hand it looks like you don’t read scripture.
Timothy is probably the most important to show Jesus left a visible church.
2: Timothy 2:2
2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
1 timothy 5:22
22 Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
2 Timothy 1:6
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Acts 6:5-6
This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. 6 They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you
The apostles choose church elders, no one just popped and went to seminary school
Where is seminary school in the Bible?
Jesus promises he would build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail.
Matthew 28:19-20
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 18
15 “If your brother or sister[a] sins,[b] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[c] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as a tax collector
We see early Christian’s use the church to settle the dispute of circumcision. The council of Jerusalem.
The Catholic Church is a continuation of it.
As you see Jesus left a church a visible church to feed our spirit. He didn’t just drop a book and told us to figure it out.
It was largely tied to the admittance to the priesthood of people with strong homosexual tendencies. It was 81% homosexual abuse, not pedophilia. Every institution in the west from public schools (" a hundred times worse" - Charol Shakeshaft President's Commission on abuse in the public schools) . The BBC, all religious institutions. Of more interest is why do people overwhelmingly focus on the abuse in the Catholic church. Incidentally, it was the "psychology experts" who advised the church that declared some offenders as fit to resume service. We learned better. Cheers .
@@brucedavenport7016 A 2018 study by three criminologists revealed that hundreds of claims of abuse are made every year against pastors and other Protestant church leaders (despite the fact that most Protestant pastors are married). Ernie Allen, the director of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said in an interview with Newsweek magazine, “We don’t see the Catholic Church as a hotbed of this or a place that has a bigger problem than anyone else. I can tell you without hesitation that we have seen cases in many religious settings, from traveling evangelists to mainstream ministers to rabbis and others.”
All you need to understand. is already out there in creation .MICAH. 8TH Centurybc old testatment
Until God DRAWS me to Christ for salvation (John 6:44), until God circumcises (Deuteronomy 30:6) my deceitful and wicked heart (Jeremiah 17:9), I am not capable of pleasing HIM in any way.
Yes and the Catholic Church has yet to do anything about the clergy and sexual abuse !
They say they do and it’s so obvious they do not follow through but continue to move the abusers to another job or another country !
That is simply not true. There has been an immense response and Catholic churches have the lowest abuse rate in the world today as independently tested.
Barron's ability to talk baseless waffle is acceptional
A message for you - Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt - someone probably.
