I appreciate your concern Patrick but realise that I do come from a predominantly Protestant/Evangelical country and as a practicing catholic in such a country means that I know my bible well enough for the sake of my own soul. That said, do your self a favour and worry about expanding on your own knowledge of history and bible. Thank you and God bless
@Patrick Montgomery you do realise that the very bible that you hold on to so dearly was put together (through the power and grace of the Holy Spirit) by the very Christians (rc's) you accuse of not being saved or even being Christians.. I challenge you to find out how the bible came about and while you're at it learn more about the Church fathers. It was the RC's (again, by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit) that defended the Holy Trinity against Arian hersey..
The Good Shepherd, our blessed Lord Jesus found me 18 years ago and I have been following him ever since and there were many times when I would stumble and kind of lose my way but he always came and got me and took me into his arms, comforted me and spoke to me in my heart and I know his voice and I trust completely that no matter what happens he will always find me because he is my shepherd!! Blessed Be His holy name!!!
@Patrick Montgomery Galatians 3:38 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." The sheeps are not just the Roman Catholics.
God is so good. He came to seek us when we were so completely lost, He found us and brought us home on the day of cloud and darkness. What it cost Him was Crucifixion but He did not count the cost. All for a lost soul who had nothing to give in return. Thank You, Jesus.
Thank you I am happy Jesus brought me to listen with all your teaching , I could believe how you open my heart and soul to understand what really meant what Holly Bible all about . Thank you
This passage reminds me of why Jesus is my King. In truth i am a sinner but too see him and embrace him will be everything for me and for all those who desire Christ. May Christ bless everyone today including those who hate us. 18“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ c
Thank you! You have shared so many explanations of the Gospels, making them understandable! I see the GOSPELS IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT! God bless you & yours🙏🏻🐾
@Patrick Montgomery who sent you to preach??? Did you know you that you cannot preach unless you are sent??? Read and reflect and relearn: Romans 10:15 "And how shall they preach, EXCEPT they be sent? "
Mt 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate... The narrow gate is the Sacred Heart of Jesus which is found in the Eucharist by where His sheep pass through to eternal life.
Beautiful explanation like always. Thank you Dr. Pitre. I always enjoy listening to all your videos for years now....they helped me tremendously in my spiritual life. You and Dr. Michael Barber and Dr. Kincaid are precious gift from heaven and many, many brilliant Catholics theologians and apologists! Still need to buy the book you co-wrote with them ^Paul the New Covenant Jew". My friends have read it and they loved it! I met Dr. Barber at the Annual Scripture Conference last February here in Fort Myers, FL. He talks highly about you! Hopefully our diocese, the Diocese of Venice will invite you next year. I will definitely attend your talk! May the Lord bless you always and continue to use you as His instrument.
@Patrick Montgomery I see you are in every comment on Dr. Pitre's video... :) Listen sir, thanks for actually taking your time to comment. However, I am not going to comment back to what you're stating. I will be praying the Holy Rosary and the Chaplet Divine Mercy for you today. May the Holy Ghost enlighten your heart and mind. O Great Saint, St. Patrick pray for us. Most Holy Trinity cover Patrick Montgomery with your love and mercy.
This is the first time that when I have compared Dr Peter Kreefts Food for the Soul and Dr Brant Pitre, and he has given me opposite interpretations of something. I've been doing this once a week for a year, and they always agree. This is the first time. WOW.
Really a very difficult passage. One can only imagine what this sounded like at the time to a Jew who knew his Torah: Jesus saying he was actually Ezekiel's Lord God and the authentic shepherd come on earth in the flesh to rescue his sheep. This must have been the mother of all blasphemies. So one either accepts Jesus as his word or one has to try and figure out some other explanation for Jesus saying such an outrageous & blasphemous thing. Thanks Dr. Pitre for this truly enlightening explanation
Yup In the past I was raised catholic then practiced judaism then went back to Catholicism all I saw was proof that Jesus was the messiah and was God. Trust me Catholics should study judaism it is soo enlightening ❤
But how do you find Jesus? By reading the scriptures and going within the "I AM" within yourself-----the sense of presence. Be still and know that I AM god. This is the way and the gate.
Dear rolinolandi, That is one way Jesus can find you. Each of us is precious in His sight, and unique. He usually sends people to find us -- very often our own parents, who have us baptized into His Body and are our first teachers in the Faith. But we can also find Him by listening to great teachers like Brant Pitre and Bishop Barron. (Remember how many people in the world cannot read the Bible!)
@@susand3668 Jesus is the ONESELF who lives in hearts of all beings. This is why he said, "Whatever you do to the least of these you do to me." HE never was separate from you and me. And of course, people like Brant Pitre and Bishop Baron point to THAT. I discovered this in the eastern approach to the SELF. Then when I read and still read the bible it is the same.
The Bible does not record anyone being baptized by Jesus. There are a couple of verses that seem to indicate that Jesus baptized people, but when we compare Scripture with Scripture, we conclude that Jesus did not personally baptize anyone. Opening the possibility that Jesus did baptize is Matthew 3:14, where John the Baptist says to Jesus, “I need to be baptized by you.” Taken by itself, John’s statement could imply that Jesus was in the habit of baptizing people in water. But the context suggests otherwise: previously, John had said, “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I. . . . He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire” (Matthew 3:11). John distinguished his baptism (with water) from the Lord’s baptism (with the Holy Spirit). When John spoke of his need to be baptized by Jesus, he was most naturally referring to his need for the Holy Spirit. Two verses in John 3 seem to say that Jesus did indeed baptize: John 3:22 says that “Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.” And in John 3:26 Jesus’ actions are reported to John: “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan-the one you testified about-look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.” But in the next chapter John clarifies what was happening: “Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John-although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples” (John 4:1-2, emphasis added). So, Jesus was “baptizing” in that the disciples were doing so by His direction and under His authority. John, after a couple of mentions of Jesus’ work of baptism, explains that Jesus was not personally baptizing anyone.
The "DOOR", is the "HOLY EUCHARIST", which one should only receive, after all the "SACRAMENTS" of God are fulfilled. The Holy Eucharist can only be received in His church, One, Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church.
Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth and then not deliver it?" asks the LORD. "No! I would never keep this nation from being born," says your God. 66:9 Isaiah The Pharaoh rewards himself all the financial power, and sits his Son at his right hand instead. If the Mother is not honored equal then my body would be removed from the trinity. The Son would learn from the Father who leaves his children to suffer, and die. Setting the example he becomes the beast he worships, and Hitler oppresses my people into slavery. Silencing the truth there are no limits to how far he will go to keep me from wiping the tears of my children. Ark of Joan defends the honor of her Mother to be treated equal. Heaven is a place where there is no conflict or violence. Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, and we can't even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. 3:2 1st John No one can know what anyone else is really thinking except that person alone, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own Spirit. 2:11 1st Corinthians “She was pregnant, and she cried out in the pain of labor as she awaited her delivery.” Revelation 11:2 “Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, SHE BECAME PREGNANT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.” 1:18 MATTHEW Just as you can hear the wind but can't tell where it comes from or where it is going, so YOU CANT EXPLAIN HOW PEOPLE ARE BORN OF THE SPIRIT." 3:8 John VIII:XV 8:15 Romans So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “ABBA, Father.” For our Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children ruclips.net/video/t_3vKTM3f84/видео.html They are REBORN! This is NOT A PHYSICAL BIRTH resulting from human passion or plan--this rebirth comes from God. 1:13 John 1:23 1st Peter For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the HOLY SPIRIT GIVES NEW LIFE FROM HEAVEN. 3:6 John Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the SPIRIT OF WISDOM upon you and make you WISE. 23:1 Proverbs The instruction of the WISE is like a life giving fountain those who accept it avoid the snares of death. 13:14 Proverbs "God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. YOU WILL BECOME JUST LIKE GOD, knowing everything, both good and evil." The WOMEN was convinced. The fruit looked so fresh and delicious, and it would make HER SO WISE! 2:5-6 GENESIS 1:30 1st Corinthians God alone made it possible for you to be in Christ Jesus. For our benefit GOD MADE CHRIST TO BE WISDOM ITSELF. He is the one who made us acceptable to God. He made us pure and holy, and HE GAVE HIMSELF to purchase our freedom. 4:9 Ecclesiastes Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor. So God created PEOPLE in his own image; God patterned them after himself; MALE and FEMALE he created them. 1:27 GENESIS Then the LORD God said, "THE PEOPLE have become as WE are, knowing everything, both good and evil. 2:24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his WIFE, and the two are UNITED into ONE. GENESIS 3:22 2Then the LORD God said, "THE PEOPLE have become as WE are, knowing everything, both good and evil. What if they eat the fruit of the tree of life? Then they will live forever! WE THE PEOPLE of UNITED States in order to form a more perfect UNION establish JUSTICE ensure domestic tranquility provide for the common defense the general welfare and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our prosperity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the UNITED States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands ONE nation under God INDIVISIBLE with Liberty, and Justice for All. I am an American parent, and it is my responsibility to protect my children from harm. I understand conflict begins when one child is favored over the other, and my role is to sustain peace by ensuring all are given equal treatment. I take time to understand each perspective, and resolve the problem by means of effective communication skills before a tragedy occurs. Children learn by example, and how you treat others determines how you are treated in return. 5:8-9 Matthew God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. 6:8 Isaiah Then I heard the Lord asking, "Whom should I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go for us?" And I said, "Lord, I'll go! Send me." 3:31 Jeremiah Long ago the LORD said to Israel: "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. 4:10 John Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water." 4:7 John Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink." “Suddenly, Jesus himself came along and joined them and began walking beside them. But they didn't know who he was, because God kept them from recognizing him.” XXIV:XV-XVI 24:15-16 LUKe 19:6 MATTHEW Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together."
XXI:XVII 21:17 Genesis But God heard the boy crying, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “Hagar, what's wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. 8:2 Zechariah "This is what the LORD Almighty says: My love for Mount Zion is passionate and strong; I am consumed with passion for Jerusalem! 52:2 ISAIAH Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Remove the slave bands from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
This works if you consider yourself to belong to a herd of sheep. Jesus also called himself the son of God who drowned nearly all of his creations in a global flood because "He was sorry He had made them"
Dear James, yes, yes, the Flood of Noah shows God's great power against the powerful! The society of that time was truly horrible, with the poor ground into the dust by the few "powerful" kings -- the bad shepherds. But that is not the end of the story. The Creator does not un-create. (That would not be logical, now would it?) So what happened to the many many poor, the sheep at the time of Noah? Through the Crucifixion, God has shown us that He identifies with the poor. And through Resurrection, He shows us He has the power to raise His Own -- including the Little Ones at the time of the Flood. The Gospel is News!
Dear@WeaponOfChoice, yes, you are not wrong. And we are not at odds. But I would suggest that some of your comments to other people have been less than charitable. And that's not the way to promote the Gospel, if you know what I mean? By saying things in a more respectful way, you have an opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life. Which means a lot more than being clever. Of course I'm not saying to write the way I write! -- you have your own voice. Just, please, hone your skills, for the greater glory of God. Okay? (And you needn't say that I sound like an old lady, because that's what I am -- I think of you as maybe my grandson!)
The true inerrant, infallible, and perfect King James Bible says... John 10:1-10 King James Version (KJV) 10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he SHALL be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
"If anyone enters in by Me (and the church that claims to be my sole representative on earth, and the pope/priesthood that declares himself/itself to be an "alter Christus" (another Christ!), and all the dogmas and patently unbiblical teachings like the infallibility of the Pope and the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary...), He will be saved." If you think the above quote is what Jesus meant in John 10, repent and trust in Jesus and His Word alone.
i always thought if any protestant ever heard Brant speak they would flip to Catholicism in 90 seconds. I'm sorry it's hot this summer. Maybe it's good to get a head-start with the heat.

I am an American parent, and it is my responsibility to protect my children from harm. I understand conflict begins when one child is favored over the other, and my role is to sustain peace by ensuring all are given equal treatment. I take time to understand each perspective, and resolve the problem by means of effective communication skills before a tragedy occurs. Children learn by example, and how you treat others determines how you are treated in return.
5:8-9 Matthew God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.
6:8 Isaiah Then I heard the Lord asking, "Whom should I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go for us?" And I said, "Lord, I'll go! Send me."
3:31 Jeremiah Long ago the LORD said to Israel: "I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
4:10 John Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water."
4:7 John Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink."
“Suddenly, Jesus himself came along and joined them and began walking beside them. But they didn't know who he was, because God kept them from recognizing him.” XXIV:XV-XVI 24:15-16 LUKe
19:6 MATTHEW Since they are no longer two but one, let no one separate them, for God has joined them together."
@Patrick Montgomery I am trying to be honored equal to the Father. I'm the Mother and my body is missing from the trinity
A tour de force of copy and pasting!
XXI:XVII 21:17 Genesis But God heard the boy crying, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “Hagar, what's wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
8:2 Zechariah "This is what the LORD Almighty says: My love for Mount Zion is passionate and strong; I am consumed with passion for Jerusalem!
52:2 ISAIAH Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Remove the slave bands from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
This works if you consider yourself to belong to a herd of sheep.
Jesus also called himself the son of God
who drowned nearly all of his creations in a global flood because "He was sorry He had made them"
Dear James, yes, yes, the Flood of Noah shows God's great power against the powerful! The society of that time was truly horrible, with the poor ground into the dust by the few "powerful" kings -- the bad shepherds.
But that is not the end of the story. The Creator does not un-create. (That would not be logical, now would it?) So what happened to the many many poor, the sheep at the time of Noah?
Through the Crucifixion, God has shown us that He identifies with the poor. And through Resurrection, He shows us He has the power to raise His Own -- including the Little Ones at the time of the Flood.
The Gospel is News!
Dear@WeaponOfChoice, yes, you are not wrong. And we are not at odds.
But I would suggest that some of your comments to other people have been less than charitable. And that's not the way to promote the Gospel, if you know what I mean? By saying things in a more respectful way, you have an opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life. Which means a lot more than being clever.
Of course I'm not saying to write the way I write! -- you have your own voice. Just, please, hone your skills, for the greater glory of God. Okay? (And you needn't say that I sound like an old lady, because that's what I am -- I think of you as maybe my grandson!)
Ezekiel 34 sounds like today.....
The true inerrant, infallible, and perfect King James Bible says...
John 10:1-10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he SHALL be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
you sound like someone who knows nothing about the scriptures. hahaha!
"If anyone enters in by Me (and the church that claims to be my sole representative on earth, and the pope/priesthood that declares himself/itself to be an "alter Christus" (another Christ!), and all the dogmas and patently unbiblical teachings like the infallibility of the Pope and the Immaculate Conception and Assumption of Mary...), He will be saved." If you think the above quote is what Jesus meant in John 10, repent and trust in Jesus and His Word alone.
i always thought if any protestant ever heard Brant speak they would flip to Catholicism in 90 seconds. I'm sorry it's hot this summer. Maybe it's good to get a head-start with the heat.
THIS TEXT USED TO BE READ BACK IN HE DAY ... BUT THE "SHEPHERDS" HAVE REMOVE IT...
