I am standing on the brink of converting from Baptist to Catholic. Please pray for me. I have felt the draw of the Catholic faith for years, always ignoring it, but it now it seems to be to greatest truth and the way my heart and soul is fixed upon.
"As faithful people who want to know God, we have an obligation to uphold the truth, even if others won't accept it." Thank you Br. Casey for your fine work and this simple yet vital exhortation. God bless you and Holy Mother Church!
You mean the the harlot of revelation. Who "makes the brethren" consume "meat sacrificed to idols". Or what else do you call taking communion amongst carved images of saints? Framing up holders of true faith and commandments as iconoclasts doesn't make the church any more believable thatln her violent crimes in the past. "She is drunk on the blood of saints" just as the catholic church boasts in martyrdom of saints it doesn't own.
Curiously this is my favourite Catholic yt channel. The curious side is that I'm protestant and I learn about my beliefs watching this. I would never condemn the Catholic Church as some others do. I praise God for his works in Catholic Church! I have so much to learn with it's history and wisdom!
@@dnznznfjsnsnsms9996 Your words show no knowledge. What you say simply isn't true. Seems you only want God to act according to your will, instead of His. Why is it you want to hurt people?
I'm also protestant and, despite I've seen only two videos from this channel, I already like it. Surely we have our differences, but we also share a lot of things in common. I believe there is only one true, and where we disagree, only one can be right. But more than this, I believe God is sovereign upon everything and He is acting actively in this world and in/by his Church. Heaven will be a place of great surprises for a lot of Christians.

We, Oriental Orthodox, believe that Jesus was fully human, and fully divine. Not a half-god, not only divine, nor only human. Jesus Christ is out of two natures, but exists in one nature after the union. The natures being united without mingling, alteration or confusion. In this we simply follow the formula of St. Cyril of Alexandria: One Nature of the Word Incarnate. The 5th Ecumenical Council clarified that the one-nature formula is allowed, provided that this is understood in an Orthodox manner: the two natures remain distinct and do not mix or change. This is exactly how the Oriental Orthodox believe in the one nature of Christ. We have utterly condemned Eutychianism which states that Christ's human nature was absorbed by the divine, or any form of docetism which states that Christ did not have a divine nature at all. Naturally, we also condemn any teaching that states that Christ only had a human nature.
DKCoptic as Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus is both human and divine. In The Catholic Apostles creed, the doctrine states, CONSUBSTANTIAL with the father, from what used to be, "one in being with the father." Hence, same Substance with the Father. Furthermore, the Holy spirit is also one with the Son and the Father. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God that enlightens us to understand the Word of God.
4:13 We Orthodox make the distinction of 'Eastern Orthodox' and 'Oriental Orthodox' for those who believe in the Hypostatic Union and those who don't, respectively. The Eastern Orthodox are *not* in communion with the Non-Chalcedonians.
This completely confused me. Sorry. I’m not that smart. 🤓 Could someone just say which believe in the Hypostatic Union and which don’t. (I think double negatives were used here???) 🤎
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 both Eastern and Oriental Orthodox bogh believe in hypostatic union ..Hypostatic union simply means the Word took flesh (divine and human nature union of jesus christ)
As Oriental Orthodox, We believe in the Hypostatic union of the two natures Human and Divine, without confusion, mixing, division, separation, etc (which is similar to the Chaldean formula actually) since conception We also believe that Christ is perfect in humanity and perfect in divinity The difference is the we say that after the Hypostatic Union, there is 1 nature of the word incarnate (Hypostasis of the Son) as St. Cyril of Alexandria taught his church. This has always been the case, and you can double check this by reading what was written in that era, by Saints like St. Severus of Antioch or St. Dioscorus of Alexandria the disciple of St. Cyril For both held the orthodox faith that we hold today I'm sorry your friends couldn't see it 1500 years ago I understand it's a tricky subject, I'm not attacking you, may the Holy Spirit guide us all We should let theologians and our clergy study these and decide whether they're doctrinal or just semantics Peace and love from your Coptic brother in Christ ❤
"Truth does exist..." those words are a breath of fresh air in this post modern world where everything is considered subjective and absolutes are seen as a thing of the past.
Catholics believe that there is objective truth, though we do not possess it in its entirety because it is subject to advancement in history. We will only possess complete objective truth at the end-time. That is why Catholics profess truth but do so tentatively. We need to be humble to revise our teaching, even as we profess them.
@@MutohMech Again, we do not possess absolute truth; absolute truth is only possible outside of history, and until the parousia arrives we live in history. All dogmas are subject to refinement. Our best way to live in the truth is to subject oneself to a teaching authority (Catholics call this the Magisterium) and to be open to revisions. I know people who are closed to Magisterial teaching; yet, if you called them schismatics, they would be offended.
Not only catholics, but everyone in the STEM fields is believing that "truth exists", which is why there is a cultural battle in academia surrounding the issue. As people who work based on the scientific method, tend to have some very strong view about postmodernism. (Along the lines, of "jump out of the window to see if you are superman, if reality is subjective")
@@MFM230 my friend, what the Pope says ex cathedra (meaning from St. Peter's throne) is out of question. That's called the Papal Infability, and it is only used in very rare occasions, when talking about dogmas (such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary, which is an nonnegotiable truth). Ever since the 1st Council of the Vatican (1869), when this power was made official, it was only used once. So, as Catholics, we acknowledge there is one Truth, one Objective, Immutable and Eternal Truth, and that the Truth created the Cathokic Church, which itself can bare the truth. Ave Maria!
@@alexrad8950 I call him dad. He doesn't like to be called father. It's not sinful to call someone father, but generally from people I know if something is holy you capitalize the first letter.

I love how in the council of Nicaea, Arius was smacked in the face by the bishop of Mya, one bishop Nicholas, later known as Saint Nicholas, or St Nick.
The split of the Oriental Churches from the Universal (in those days) Orthodox Church is not as simple as they accepted only one nature of Christ. The oriental Churches (non Chaledonian) walked away from the Council of Chalcedonia in 451 thinking that the issue how to address or explain the two natures of Christ had not been solved and the Council has not come to an end. The schism came about when the Patriarch of Constantinople dismissed the Patriarch of Alexandria for not accepting the existence of the two natures of Christ and declared him heretical. The Patriarch of Constantinople named another patriarch and the Schism was created. The Oriental Churches did not endorse neither Eutychianism nor Apollinarianism (two versions of Monophysitism). For the Oriental Churches, Jesus is a perfect full human and a perfect full God. Greeks did not understand how the Copts were explaining the union of the two natures and simply rejected hearing anymore from them. It was actually a miscomprehension because they did not understand each other among other things because they spoke different languages. For the Greeks (and Catholics as well) the union of Christ’s two natures, one fully human and one fully divine is explained as a union of the Christ‘s humanity and Christ’s Divinity in one hypostasis (Hypostatic Union). However, the Oriental Churches accepting that Christ is fully Human and fully Divine came to a different explanation of the same conclusion. Jesus Christ, both natures Divinity and Humanity are united in one “new nature" ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without alteration. For them Jesus is fully God and fully human. The human nature and the Divine Nature came to exist in one “new nature”, the “nature of Christ”. All the Oriental Churches reject being called Monophysite; they emphasize that they are Miaphysites. Some theologians (neither catholics not orthodox) have begun to embrace the idea that this Christology (Miaphysitism) is consistent with, but different from the formulation at the Chalcedonian Council in 451.

@4:05 With all due respect, that is factually incorrect for the following reasons: 1) It wrongly conflates the Eastern Orthodox Churches with the Oriental Orthodox Churches. It is the latter whose doctrine this explanation misrepresents. All of the Eastern Orthodox Churches accept the Council of Chalcedon. 2) The Oriental Orthodox Churches all officially condemn the Monophysite heresy. 3) The Oriental Orthodox use the terminology of St Cyril the Pope of Alexandria & Pillar of Orthodoxy who spoke of "one incarnate nature of God the Word". The correct term for this position is Miaphysite. The prefix "mia-" refers to a compound one whereas "mono-" refers to a singular one. 4) The Church of Rome has signed agreements with various Oriental Orthodox Churches recognising that the different terminologies are both acceptable when properly understood.

However, "Over the centuries, the stance of these Churches has become refined and they have resolved many, if not all, of the theological problems. Today, they would not consider themselves monophysite, but "miaphysite." " This is still problematic from the non-chalcedonian perspective. The non-chalcedonians would not agree at all that they have "refined" their theology. They would say they've kept the faith they were handed down and are not "today" miaphysite but rather have always been miaphysite. The way it is worded seems to take the position that they may once have been monophysite but are no longer so. That is also a statement they would dispute.
OK, the real short version.

In the Matrix, you've got sentient computers who imprison humans in vats so they can use CNS electrochemical reactions as batteries, but to keep humans quiescent, the induce a hallucinatory "real world".

I don't know, the JW teaching about God and Jesus is logical for me and the bible support it as well. For an example, where does the bible says that Jesus is eternal and always existed? I don't know if there is any scripture that says so, but that he is begotten or have a beginning: John 1:18, Proverbs 8:22, Revelation 3:14, Colossians 1:15. No offense. I just don't see if it is a heresy. There are more evidence in the Bible for this form of arianism, than trinitarianism.
"Begotten" doesn't mean that there was a time when the Logos didn't exist. If there was, it would mean that the Son was created, not begotten. The word 'begotten' doesn't refer to a temporal act of birth. Neither does the original Hebrew in Proverbs 8:22. Revelations 3:14 refers to the fact that everything was created through the Logos: 'Through him all things were made'.(John 1:3). It doesn't mean that the Logos was the first of created beings. Besides, claiming that the Logos was created is also illogical: if God created everything through His Logos, what did He create the Logos with? The original Greek text in John 1:18 says "the only begotten God", and God is by definition eternal. Furthermore, Christ refers to himself as "I Am" throughout the Gospel of John. Jesus Christ is therefore YHWH, the Eternal.
@@mihai5456 Wrong. You are hardly assuming trinitarianism. God by definiton doesn't mean always existed. God by definition is "mighty-one". Jesus said "ye are Gods". Were they eternal? Lol. You have no real explaination for John 1:18. Therefore your logic falls, because you as I said, assuming trinitarianism. Revelation 3:14 doesn't refer to that at all. The beginning of God(Father) creation. And it's Jesus. That's all what it says, if we don't assume the Trinity. Proverbs 8:22, wrong again, if you check the context there is no way it refers to an eternal being who had no beginning. God created everything through the son. The son created everything, therefore they both created everything in a sense. No contradiction at all. If you are doing something through someone, you are doing it with him. Stop assuming trinitarianism. Jesus could easily created everything, because he doesn't have to create himself, since he is begotten. But in a sense he is created, but more accurately he is begotten. So if you stop assuming trinitarianism, can you prove that this view is wrong?
@@Michael-dq8xc If you say that God created a creator god, Jesus, who in turn created everything, you are a polytheist. It is that simple. You are outside monotheism, and therefore outside the Bible and Christianity.

I have to say, I see a great deal of Gnostic tendencies these days among Catholics and I'm surprised that didn't make it into this video. Sadly I see this affect both liberals and conservatives and in all cases puts a division between the person and the Church.
You should really call out examples of these heresies. The two most obvious are Jevohas Witnesses and Mormans, both who believe Jesus was a created being lesser than God. They are cults.
I'm a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints or what you called "mormams". We believe that Jesus is just as much of a God as his father. He has a different role, but he is just as powerful.

I've always thought it was fascinating that so many people wanted to contemplate/argue over the "dual nature of Christ," but nobody ever asks which of those two natures made him a force of good. Was it Christ's human or divine nature that made Him think that self-sacrifice was the better than fighting for self-reservation? Was it Christ's human or divine nature that made Him see value in healing the sick or feeding the hungry? Was it Christ's human or divine nature that saw something worth redeeming in humanity?
As a lifelong Southern Baptist I have to score this presentation a full and complete 'Amen!' I think I have a quibble with how you refer to Jesus' nature but it strikes me as a quibble, not a 'hold my breath until you turn blue' argument.

@@crusaderACR I have to agree. Christ is indeed God (and whereas I can grasp that concept it does seem a bit odd and sometimes contradictory). No, I do not know of obvious and critical differences. Probably the biggest difference is the nature of Communion, or as 'we' call it, the Lord's Supper.

Pelagius didn't say that we didn't need help in doing what is right. He said that because human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, their primary nature is good - though it had been corrupted by the fall in the Garden of Eden. Therefore it is possible for human beings to choose not to sin. However, it is extremely unlikely due to our corrupted, fallen state. Jesus, therefore, came and provided us with an example of what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God. Furthermore, Pelagius claimed that if human beings were completely incapable of being good - if we couldn't possibly follow God's commandments due to a fallen state (which is like having a disability), then it would be unfair for God to hold us accountable for our sins. If we're so morally disabled that we can't possibly live up to God's commandments, then it is unfair to punish us for failing to follow God's commandments. Punishing a disabled person for their disability would be an injustice - and the God of Justice cannot commit an injustice. What Pelagius is accused of saying, he didn't actually say. Furthermore, the only reason Pelagius (who was only preaching what the Church had been teaching from the beginning) was convicted as a heretic is that St. Augustine didn't like him. Pelagius challenged Augustine's view of original sin as Manichaeism. In fact, the first Pope to hear the charges against Pelagius cleared Pelagius of all charges. When that Pope died and a new Pope who was more enamored by Augustine came to power, Pelagius was condemned as a heretic without a chance to defend his position. Pelagius being declared a heretic was nothing more than politics and the Church, as an institution, should go back - review the trial - and officially bring Pelagius back into the Church as a saint, especially since there were many bishops at the time who agreed with Pelagius - some of whom are considered saints today (like St. Gregory). I will totally defend Pelagius outright - in fact, I took the name Pelagius as my confirmation name - and the bishop not only allowed me to take that name but agreed with my stated reason for doing so.
But to be fair, non-chalcedonian churches were misrepresented in council of Chalcedon, they reject to be called monophysites, they call themselves miaphysites, they don't believe in one nature like Eutychians, they believe in both natures full god and full human united in one nature without mixing, they call it the incarnate word god nature. They made many ecumenical dialogues with the eastern orthodox churches ending up to the conclusion that they hold the same faith but in different theological terms, therefore Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria (who is moderate according to the previous Pope Shenouda III) convinced the Coptic holy synod to sign a religious document to stop re-baptism of eastern orthodoxes and to allow them to share the holy sacraments like marriage and eucharist with the copts and all non-chalcedonians. He also tried to end the re-baptism of catholics and allow for mutual marriage and eucharist but the holy synod rejected, they consider catholics as heretics untill solving the main seven differences (heresies according to them) between orthodoxy and catholicism, they are: 1-filioque addition to the creed 2-the immaculate conception 3-purgatory 4-papacy 5-marriage with non-believers 6-salvation of non-believers 7-baptism without immersion and accepting of the baptism performed by heretics.
Two uniquely distinct natures in one *other* nature without mixing... is not even a possibility. That would completely separate the Son from the Father and Holy Spirit, ultimately amounting to denying the Holy Trinity, which contradicts the Gospel entirely. Hypostatic Union. The fullness of two natures distinct but united in one divine Person (the Second divine Person of the Holy Trinity). That is the only way to refute heresy on the topic. And it is the one given to the Church.

This was actually a good video. Arianism is found in Non-Christian cults such as the Jehovah Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, and Mormonism. A rejection of the Divinity of Christ as God and the Holy Trinity is what separated the Arians and Semi-Arians from the Christians. Pelagianism is found in Evangelical Protestant denominations in which they believe that the Sacrament of Baptism is not necessary for salvation. While St. Augustine stated it would be impossible to have salvation without Baptism as such Baptism is a requirement of salvation as such no one could enter into the Kingdom of God without being Baptized in Christ's death. Monophysitism the Church of the East and the Oriental Orthodox Church. However, the Oriental Orthodox Church regards themselves as Miaphysite being they believe their view is the same as St. Cyril of Alexandria. I do have to correct you on this one the Eastern Orthodox Church sided with the Western Church in accepting the Tome of Leo (Pope St. Leo the Great).
It is a common misconception that Mormons are Arians. That is not quite accurate. Mormons have many verses in their own scripture that affirm the oneness of God and Jesus being co-qual and co-eternal with the Father. They have very different formulas and language on how that oneness is achieved, and traditional Christians have loads of objections to those, (and that may make them semi-Arians depending on how you judge those things, I disagree, but then to some Catholics, Orthodox are practically social trinitarians and to some Orthodox, Catholics are practically Sabelians but I digress,) but in no way do they suggest that Jesus is merely a perfected man or subordinate to the father. He is fully God and was from the beginning. The difference between Mormon theology is on the other end of the equation. If they are heretics they are Origenists. It's not that they think Jesus isn't co-eternal to the Father, it's that all of humanity is somehow co-eternal with the Father as well. So they do destroy the Creator / Creation distinction, but it's on the other end of the spectrum. Which may seem like splitting hairs but these things do matter as the discussion about miaphysite and monophysite above demonstrates.
The early Christians never upheld the doctrine of trinity. The Bible is clear, there is only one God, the Father in heaven. Christ, the Son of God is truly human (I Tim. 2:5 CEV) and not god (Lk. 24:38-39 & Jn. 4:24)
Baptism is NOT necessary for salvation. BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31). The thief on the cross was never baptised!
@@johngurlides9157 I really pity you. Let me try to help save your soul. Acts 16:31 They told him, 'Become a believer in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, and your household too.' Nowhere in that verse does it say that no other requirements were needed for salvation. The fact that verse is silent doesn't mean that it rejects other requirements. Funny enough you've not noticed that immediately after that conversation, two verses later, the soldier and all of his household got baptised (verse 33). Then again I guess you haven't read your Bible enough to know that EVERYBODY who accepted Jesus Christ got baptised, even Cornelius and his household who had already received the Holy Spirit. The only exception is the thieve on the cross, and that is an EXCEPTION. You probably also haven't read your bible enough to know that baptism was commanded by Jesus Himself (Matthew 28:19). Sometimes wonder if some people are not actually demons that come here to make comments to derail people's faith. Some of the arguments are so flimsy against the facts that they beg such conclusions.
I am Coptic Orthodox and what you said about our beliefs is horribly misunderstood. We believe miaphysitism which means that Jesus Christ was of one nature that is the nature of the incarnate Son of God. It simply means that his divinity abd humanity are completely insperable. Just check this part of the Coptic divine liturgy: "Truly, I believe that His divinity parted not from His humanity for a single moment, nor a twinkling of an eye". This doesn't sound at all like what you said that Christ our Lord was always of one nature, sometimes human others divine. Far from it!
Greetings Karen! As a point of clarification, Catholics too believe that Christ's human and divine natures are one and inseparable, resulting in a unique nature. When the natures were being manifest to the people when Jesus was alive, they just had to take on either human or divine characteristics, depending on the circumstances. So it is an just issue of language we use to explain things regarding the actions of Jesus.
@@BreakingInTheHabit I think, those who do use this therm, use it to lax and those who don't do so, often fall prey to it themselves. It's hard to fight this heresy without many shepherds living a good example...
@@David-fh6rr casey isn't a bad shepard he just teaches the truth but people are just stuck in their own heads constantly and what they think is rigth vs what is actually right
@@BreakingInTheHabit Excuse me? Agree to disagree? Context? The most pernicious set of errors that has ever infected the minds of men isnt the worst heresy? Technically correct because modernism properly considered is not a heresy, in the singular, but a litany of heresies rooted in atheistic thought. A modernist is so steeped in wicked thought, so far from faith, so infested by so many unquantifiable heresies, that he is not so much a heretic as he is a total apostate. Maybe you need to read Pascendi Dominici Gregis and Lamentabili Sane, which you seem to have never read. Pope St. Pius X defined it as "the synthesis of all heresies" and later stated that "Modernism leads to atheism and to the annihilation of all religion." Maybe you are dismissive of modernism because it has become so widespread and so ubiquitous you think modernism is actually Catholicism. Perhaps you should check what you actually believe and see if you are one yourself, God forbid.
Manifestations of Pelagianism also include the myth of "progress", and the excessive celebration of the "individual". IMO Pelagianism is the most pervasive and insidious heresy today.
I think part of the problem is the nature of both the left and right wing. The nature of the left wing looks at things in terms of "the system," and treats "the system" as insurmountable without another (human) system. The right is the exact opposite, and you don't even have to go very far right to get into Pelagianism. the farthest left assumes the greatest weakness of the human being against the state or obstacles in general, the farthest right assumes the greatest strength of the individual against the state, or obstacles in general.
Thank you for that explanation. And as a Catholic, I have always beeb curious, why has the Church for thousands of years addressed the issue of Heracy, not with a dialog, or conversation, not with an explanation or an in depth teaching, but rather by executing or burning at the steak? Is not murder a mortal sin, and listed in the ten commanents? You yourself stated that an error of thought or difference in a theological detail does not necessarily mean the person will go to hell, but what about the murder committed when the Heratic was killed? To me that is very clear that it is a mortal sin. Please explain this Father for I have always been confused by this behavior in the Catholic Church.
But that’s not even the case and I’m pretty sure you know it. When someone teaches something opposing to Christianity, they are given a trial, a chance to defend their teachings. This trial is filled with many bishops, priests and defenders of the faith. If the teaching is declared a heresy and against Christianity, then an official statement is made. That anyone who teaches this heresy shall be anathema(excommunicated). The person who teaches this heresy is not called a heretic but is asked to stop teaching it. If he doesn’t comply, then he is labeled a heretic and if it is seen that he is leading many faithful astray then the burning progresses. (Didn’t burning begin in like the Middle Age Western Europe, they would usually just exile them to an island or something). As you can see, there’s a lot of chances for conversation. If they let the heretic continue, then Christianity would be in complete disarray.
And what about the roman-catholic doctrinal abuses? Let’s see: Filioque, papal primacy, imacullata ..., the cult of the heart, the use of waffles for the comunion instead of bread, not giving the blood for the comunion...shall i continue?
And what about the division and hatred among the orthodox communities. Totally unable to organise a council for 12 centuries. The 2016 attempt was a total failure. The bishops of Constantinople and of Moscow hate each other and fight to be the chief. The so-calling ‘diverse but united in faith’ is a joke. The orthodox have been unable to convert any people since 1054. Result: the orthodox don’t obey the Christ when he demand his disciples to stay united, and to go around the world to spread the gospel. The only unity among the orthodox is their hatred towards to Catholic Church. They spend all their time and energy criticizing the straw in the Catholic eyes, instead of noticing the beam in theirs. And they call themselves ‘christians’. Poor Christ!
That is something I have pondered as well. If the Christian god is omniscient then he already knows who will be accepted into heaven and who will be rejected and sent to hell before they have even been born.
@@redclayscholar620But it's God's intention to gather as much of His Creation as He is able to. Free Will was a gift that unfortunately became a double-edged sword due to Satan's temptation and the Fall. Remember the Parable of the Master and the Banquet - ultimately all are welcome. There will absolutely (and very sadly) be those who will refuse to answer the Master's summons; but the invitation was sent out everywhere to all who would listen to and answer that call. Which is entirely up to us if we are the ones who make excuses and rebuff His call, or the ones who heed it and follow. That's why I frankly state what should be the obvious - the Master's House has no occupancy limit, as intended. Though we should never forget that there is a time limit, though we may not be privy to it. That's why we must be ever watchful for the Master's return, to use another Parable. To summarize, Predestination is frankly absurd, and saying as such doesn't deny God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence.

Statement about Eastern Orthodoxy is completely incorrect. Eastern Orthodox accept the council of Chalcedon. I’m surprised a Catholic priest doesn’t know this since the Great Schism didn’t occur until 1054. It’s the Oriental Orthodox that are called monophysites, but more accurately miaphysites. Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox are not in communion most notably because of the different articulation of this Christological statement. This is an odd statement for a Catholic priest to make unless he is quite unaware of the Eastern Church or unless he is intentionally presenting the Eastern Orthodox Church as heretical. Even the pope has affirmed the validity of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
I don't know if it is a named heresy but in my mind the "health and wealth" or "name it and claim it" doctrine is so pervasive and so against Scripture that I wouldn't hesitate to call it a heresy.
The dislikes are from the people who see that this, is just another extremist with extremist teachings, currently packaged in a sly and plush consumer-friendly form.
People were burned for heresy, and you will never be able to remove that stain from your organization. There is not enough water in the world to wash that blood off your hands.
If that is the standard, then every country, people, government, and religion would suffer the same condemnation. In fact if you compare other parts of the world that were not under Christian influence, the record becomes even bloodier. Now if you are saying that Christians should be held to a higher standard, then I would have to concur.
I was excommunicated by a cardinal in 1970 for being a heretic. I showed the letter to a Jesuit theologian a few years later and he explained it meant that I am eternally damned with zero chance of ever being redeemed due to the nature of my heresy. So I find this discussion rather amusing. Nothing but hair splitting on trivial matters.
Hi. I can suggest first just talking to our Father and praying and finding personal relationship with Him. Then find a nearest catholic church. Go there, pray or go to the holy mass and talk to people, priest. They will help you and guide you to RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), to connect and become part of The Holy Catholic Church. God bless you on your journey!
Pax Christi! Please find your closest Catholic church-or a familiar Catholic church if you’ve been visiting one-and speak with the priest there about converting. This is best done after a Holy Mass. You can also call the parish office and speak with an administrator. I hope this helps you! God bless!
@ A Cyr Welcome to the family ! Besides talking to a priest and taking up RCIA, I would suggest that you build up a personal relationship with Jesus by 1. spending more time in prayer and reading up Church history, bible history as well as apologetics to deepen your faith and spirituality. 2. Join a church to surround yourself with practising Catholics who can support you in your faith journey. Praying for you, from another convert to Catholicism 🙏
Worshiping the Personality of Christ for a better material existence and a pass into heaven is spiritually immature and manipulative. It takes more than that to link the soul with the kingdom of God. We want to live like Jesus and understand the metaphysical nature of his eclectic spiritual disciplines. We shouldn't Idolize his personality like how the romans idolized there gods. The problem with mainstream religion is that now its watered down to lectures and modern ideas. "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” Luke 11:52

I grew up baptist, and once held the "once saved, always saved" doctrine. I came to reject it as a teenager as a result of studying scripture. But as I've grown to appreciate the nuances of this doctrine, and comparing it to the official doctrine of thr Catholic Church, I think both are saying largely the same thing. Of course, the two views have their important differences. I believe it is right to say that no good works or efforts we put forth merit salvation for us. It is only the saving work of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection that merits our salvation. However, it is by faith in this that we are saved. Faith is not a passive acceptance of an idea. It is an active cooperation with a proposition such that one's life is oriented toward it, living according to the idea's implications. And what does it mean to be saved? It means not just to be forgiven of sin, but to be freed from slavery to sin. Our faith, in cooperation with God's grace, offers forgiveness for our constant failings, while at the same time working sin out of our hearts, leading us to holiness before God. God's grace produces in us the goodness lacking for our salvation, which is provided by Christ. In my own life, I still struggle with various sins. But I've learned not to let the disappointment at my failings lead me into a giving up attitude. I let it drive me to my knees in prayer and repentance. I pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance in changing my ways that need changing so that I can do what is pleasing to God.
Catholics do that alot...legalism is their thing...these nitty gritty details definitely aren't in the bible...they're the opinion of church elders from centuries ago...doesn't make them correct...🤷♂️ just a bunch of bishops sat around arguing to consensus...and kicking out the one or two who don't agree and their followers...something murdering them...not exactly a holy process...
I am standing on the brink of converting from Baptist to Catholic. Please pray for me. I have felt the draw of the Catholic faith for years, always ignoring it, but it now it seems to be to greatest truth and the way my heart and soul is fixed upon.

We, Oriental Orthodox, believe that Jesus was fully human, and fully divine. Not a half-god, not only divine, nor only human. Jesus Christ is out of two natures, but exists in one nature after the union. The natures being united without mingling, alteration or confusion.
In this we simply follow the formula of St. Cyril of Alexandria: One Nature of the Word Incarnate. The 5th Ecumenical Council clarified that the one-nature formula is allowed, provided that this is understood in an Orthodox manner: the two natures remain distinct and do not mix or change. This is exactly how the Oriental Orthodox believe in the one nature of Christ.
We have utterly condemned Eutychianism which states that Christ's human nature was absorbed by the divine, or any form of docetism which states that Christ did not have a divine nature at all. Naturally, we also condemn any teaching that states that Christ only had a human nature.
We believe that there are still 2 natures, divine and human, but one union.
Excellently put. Thank you for your contribution to the discussion.
Good to have an Oriental Orthodox clarifying this issue in every video that mentions it. Thank you.
DKCoptic as Roman Catholics, we believe that Jesus is both human and divine. In The Catholic Apostles creed, the doctrine states, CONSUBSTANTIAL with the father, from what used to be, "one in being with the father." Hence, same Substance with the Father. Furthermore, the Holy spirit is also one with the Son and the Father. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God that enlightens us to understand the Word of God.
As it was said in the SOME eastern Orthodox Churches ( actually very few are Nestorians, or Monophysits), not all of them
4:13 We Orthodox make the distinction of 'Eastern Orthodox' and 'Oriental Orthodox' for those who believe in the Hypostatic Union and those who don't, respectively. The Eastern Orthodox are *not* in communion with the Non-Chalcedonians.
The Non-Chalcedonians aren't in communion with Rome.
This completely confused me. Sorry. I’m not that smart. 🤓 Could someone just say which believe in the Hypostatic Union and which don’t. (I think double negatives were used here???) 🤎
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 As an example: Syrian Orthodox are in communion with Rome.
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 both Eastern and Oriental Orthodox bogh believe in hypostatic union ..Hypostatic union simply means the Word took flesh (divine and human nature union of jesus christ)
As Oriental Orthodox, We believe in the Hypostatic union of the two natures Human and Divine, without confusion, mixing, division, separation, etc (which is similar to the Chaldean formula actually) since conception
We also believe that Christ is perfect in humanity and perfect in divinity
The difference is the we say that after the Hypostatic Union, there is 1 nature of the word incarnate (Hypostasis of the Son) as St. Cyril of Alexandria taught his church.
This has always been the case, and you can double check this by reading what was written in that era, by Saints like St. Severus of Antioch or St. Dioscorus of Alexandria the disciple of St. Cyril
For both held the orthodox faith that we hold today
I'm sorry your friends couldn't see it 1500 years ago

"Truth does exist..." those words are a breath of fresh air in this post modern world where everything is considered subjective and absolutes are seen as a thing of the past.
Catholics believe that there is objective truth, though we do not possess it in its entirety because it is subject to advancement in history. We will only possess complete objective truth at the end-time. That is why Catholics profess truth but do so tentatively. We need to be humble to revise our teaching, even as we profess them.
@@MFM230 Not all teaching is available for revision. The dogmas, for example, are non-negotiable.
@@MutohMech Again, we do not possess absolute truth; absolute truth is only possible outside of history, and until the parousia arrives we live in history. All dogmas are subject to refinement. Our best way to live in the truth is to subject oneself to a teaching authority (Catholics call this the Magisterium) and to be open to revisions. I know people who are closed to Magisterial teaching; yet, if you called them schismatics, they would be offended.
Not only catholics, but everyone in the STEM fields is believing that "truth exists", which is why there is a cultural battle in academia surrounding the issue.
As people who work based on the scientific method, tend to have some very strong view about postmodernism.
(Along the lines, of "jump out of the window to see if you are superman, if reality is subjective")
@@MFM230 my friend, what the Pope says ex cathedra (meaning from St. Peter's throne) is out of question. That's called the Papal Infability, and it is only used in very rare occasions, when talking about dogmas (such as the Immaculate Conception of Mary, which is an nonnegotiable truth).
Ever since the 1st Council of the Vatican (1869), when this power was made official, it was only used once.
So, as Catholics, we acknowledge there is one Truth, one Objective, Immutable and Eternal Truth, and that the Truth created the Cathokic Church, which itself can bare the truth.

The split of the Oriental Churches from the Universal (in those days) Orthodox Church is not as simple as they accepted only one nature of Christ. The oriental Churches (non Chaledonian) walked away from the Council of Chalcedonia in 451 thinking that the issue how to address or explain the two natures of Christ had not been solved and the Council has not come to an end. The schism came about when the Patriarch of Constantinople dismissed the Patriarch of Alexandria for not accepting the existence of the two natures of Christ and declared him heretical. The Patriarch of Constantinople named another patriarch and the Schism was created.
The Oriental Churches did not endorse neither Eutychianism nor Apollinarianism (two versions of Monophysitism). For the Oriental Churches, Jesus is a perfect full human and a perfect full God. Greeks did not understand how the Copts were explaining the union of the two natures and simply rejected hearing anymore from them. It was actually a miscomprehension because they did not understand each other among other things because they spoke different languages.
For the Greeks (and Catholics as well) the union of Christ’s two natures, one fully human and one fully divine is explained as a union of the Christ‘s humanity and Christ’s Divinity in one hypostasis (Hypostatic Union). However, the Oriental Churches accepting that Christ is fully Human and fully Divine came to a different explanation of the same conclusion. Jesus Christ, both natures Divinity and Humanity are united in one “new nature" ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without alteration. For them Jesus is fully God and fully human. The human nature and the Divine Nature came to exist in one “new nature”, the “nature of Christ”.
All the Oriental Churches reject being called Monophysite; they emphasize that they are Miaphysites. Some theologians (neither catholics not orthodox) have begun to embrace the idea that this Christology (Miaphysitism) is consistent with, but different from the formulation at the Chalcedonian Council in 451.

1) It wrongly conflates the Eastern Orthodox Churches with the Oriental Orthodox Churches. It is the latter whose doctrine this explanation misrepresents. All of the Eastern Orthodox Churches accept the Council of Chalcedon.
2) The Oriental Orthodox Churches all officially condemn the Monophysite heresy.
3) The Oriental Orthodox use the terminology of St Cyril the Pope of Alexandria & Pillar of Orthodoxy who spoke of "one incarnate nature of God the Word". The correct term for this position is Miaphysite. The prefix "mia-" refers to a compound one whereas "mono-" refers to a singular one.
4) The Church of Rome has signed agreements with various Oriental Orthodox Churches recognising that the different terminologies are both acceptable when properly understood.
Good for the Orthodox then
Stupid. East and oriental mean exactly the same. Orient means east, like occident means west.

It never did. Inquisition was just interrogation till the heretic confessed. The inquisitors would apply the sinner the terrible fine of... Praying 100 Hail Marys or so... Torture was very rarely used (like, very rarely, because the inquisitors knew the weak wouldn't need to be tortured to confess, and the strong would resist).
It was super rare for the inquisition to condemn people to death, and when it did, they rarely never actually executed...

On Monophysitism... "This is actually the official stance of 6 Eastern Orthodox Churches." No, it's not. There are 2 problems with this statement. Firstly, those churches are not Eastern Orthodox. They are Oriental Orthodox. They are not in communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church. Secondly, those churches deny that they are Monophysites and instead prefer the term Miaphysite.
@@xunqianbaidu6917 I don't recall that being in the description when I made the comment though it may have been. However, "Over the centuries, the stance of these Churches has become refined and they have resolved many, if not all, of the theological problems. Today, they would not consider themselves monophysite, but "miaphysite." " This is still problematic from the non-chalcedonian perspective. The non-chalcedonians would not agree at all that they have "refined" their theology. They would say they've kept the faith they were handed down and are not "today" miaphysite but rather have always been miaphysite. The way it is worded seems to take the position that they may once have been monophysite but are no longer so. That is also a statement they would dispute.

I watched the whole video but I still don't get how the Matrix plays into all of this...
OK, the real short version. Gnosticism in most forms said the world of sense impressions was illusion or a much removed from real reality corruption, created by a evil entity, known as the Demiurge in order to trap souls into his prison of illusion so these trapped souls will worship him as Creator. In the Matrix, you've got sentient computers who imprison humans in vats so they can use CNS electrochemical reactions as batteries, but to keep humans quiescent, the induce a hallucinatory "real world". For the Gnostics, initiating secret knowledge ( gnosis, to know) or in the Matrix, the red pill, strips away the illusions.

Loved this video. Such a good and concise breakdown of complex theological concepts.
The doctrine of the Jehovah's Witnesses about Christ is basically a form of Arianism.
Yes, there are some problems there. The Catholic Church does not accept their baptism as valid.
I don't know, the JW teaching about God and Jesus is logical for me and the bible support it as well.
For an example, where does the bible says that Jesus is eternal and always existed? I don't know if there is any scripture that says so, but that he is begotten or have a beginning:
John 1:18, Proverbs 8:22, Revelation 3:14, Colossians 1:15.
No offense. I just don't see if it is a heresy. There are more evidence in the Bible for this form of arianism, than trinitarianism.
"Begotten" doesn't mean that there was a time when the Logos didn't exist. If there was, it would mean that the Son was created, not begotten. The word 'begotten' doesn't refer to a temporal act of birth. Neither does the original Hebrew in Proverbs 8:22. Revelations 3:14 refers to the fact that everything was created through the Logos: 'Through him all things were made'.(John 1:3). It doesn't mean that the Logos was the first of created beings. Besides, claiming that the Logos was created is also illogical: if God created everything through His Logos, what did He create the Logos with? The original Greek text in John 1:18 says "the only begotten God", and God is by definition eternal. Furthermore, Christ refers to himself as "I Am" throughout the Gospel of John. Jesus Christ is therefore YHWH, the Eternal.
@@mihai5456 Wrong. You are hardly assuming trinitarianism. God by definiton doesn't mean always existed. God by definition is "mighty-one". Jesus said "ye are Gods". Were they eternal? Lol.
You have no real explaination for John 1:18. Therefore your logic falls, because you as I said, assuming trinitarianism. Revelation 3:14 doesn't refer to that at all. The beginning of God(Father) creation. And it's Jesus.
That's all what it says, if we don't assume the Trinity.
Proverbs 8:22, wrong again, if you check the context there is no way it refers to an eternal being who had no beginning.
God created everything through the son. The son created everything, therefore they both created everything in a sense. No contradiction at all. If you are doing something through someone, you are doing it with him. Stop assuming trinitarianism.
Jesus could easily created everything, because he doesn't have to create himself, since he is begotten. But in a sense he is created, but more accurately he is begotten. So if you stop assuming trinitarianism, can you prove that this view is wrong?
@@Michael-dq8xc If you say that God created a creator god, Jesus, who in turn created everything, you are a polytheist. It is that simple. You are outside monotheism, and therefore outside the Bible and Christianity.

I have to say, I see a great deal of Gnostic tendencies these days among Catholics and I'm surprised that didn't make it into this video. Sadly I see this affect both liberals and conservatives and in all cases puts a division between the person and the Church.

Your videos are unique and so helpful. Way to go.
You should really call out examples of these heresies. The two most obvious are Jevohas Witnesses and Mormans, both who believe Jesus was a created being lesser than God. They are cults.
I'm a member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints or what you called "mormams". We believe that Jesus is just as much of a God as his father. He has a different role, but he is just as powerful.

This is a very good video. Learned some things watching it. Thank you.
I've always thought it was fascinating that so many people wanted to contemplate/argue over the "dual nature of Christ," but nobody ever asks which of those two natures made him a force of good. Was it Christ's human or divine nature that made Him think that self-sacrifice was the better than fighting for self-reservation? Was it Christ's human or divine nature that made Him see value in healing the sick or feeding the hungry? Was it Christ's human or divine nature that saw something worth redeeming in humanity?
Why not both? Both god and man have the capability to be good and wise
As a lifelong Southern Baptist I have to score this presentation a full and complete 'Amen!' I think I have a quibble with how you refer to Jesus' nature but it strikes me as a quibble, not a 'hold my breath until you turn blue' argument.

Pelagius didn't say that we didn't need help in doing what is right. He said that because human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, their primary nature is good - though it had been corrupted by the fall in the Garden of Eden. Therefore it is possible for human beings to choose not to sin. However, it is extremely unlikely due to our corrupted, fallen state. Jesus, therefore, came and provided us with an example of what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God. Furthermore, Pelagius claimed that if human beings were completely incapable of being good - if we couldn't possibly follow God's commandments due to a fallen state (which is like having a disability), then it would be unfair for God to hold us accountable for our sins. If we're so morally disabled that we can't possibly live up to God's commandments, then it is unfair to punish us for failing to follow God's commandments. Punishing a disabled person for their disability would be an injustice - and the God of Justice cannot commit an injustice.
What Pelagius is accused of saying, he didn't actually say. Furthermore, the only reason Pelagius (who was only preaching what the Church had been teaching from the beginning) was convicted as a heretic is that St. Augustine didn't like him. Pelagius challenged Augustine's view of original sin as Manichaeism. In fact, the first Pope to hear the charges against Pelagius cleared Pelagius of all charges. When that Pope died and a new Pope who was more enamored by Augustine came to power, Pelagius was condemned as a heretic without a chance to defend his position. Pelagius being declared a heretic was nothing more than politics and the Church, as an institution, should go back - review the trial - and officially bring Pelagius back into the Church as a saint, especially since there were many bishops at the time who agreed with Pelagius - some of whom are considered saints today (like St. Gregory).
I will totally defend Pelagius outright - in fact, I took the name Pelagius as my confirmation name - and the bishop not only allowed me to take that name but agreed with my stated reason for doing so.
I today discovered that I am a heretic, but I am not afraid, God will help me and save me from my heresy. Alleluia
Repent. It's easy! 💗🙏💗
But to be fair, non-chalcedonian churches were misrepresented in council of Chalcedon, they reject to be called monophysites, they call themselves miaphysites, they don't believe in one nature like Eutychians, they believe in both natures full god and full human united in one nature without mixing, they call it the incarnate word god nature.
They made many ecumenical dialogues with the eastern orthodox churches ending up to the conclusion that they hold the same faith but in different theological terms, therefore Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria (who is moderate according to the previous Pope Shenouda III) convinced the Coptic holy synod to sign a religious document to stop re-baptism of eastern orthodoxes and to allow them to share the holy sacraments like marriage and eucharist with the copts and all non-chalcedonians.
He also tried to end the re-baptism of catholics and allow for mutual marriage and eucharist but the holy synod rejected, they consider catholics as heretics untill solving the main seven differences (heresies according to them) between orthodoxy and catholicism, they are:
1-filioque addition to the creed
2-the immaculate conception
3-purgatory
4-papacy
5-marriage with non-believers
6-salvation of non-believers
7-baptism without immersion and accepting of the baptism performed by heretics.
"Miaphysites" content is still heretical regardless of misrepresentation.
Two uniquely distinct natures in one *other* nature without mixing... is not even a possibility. That would completely separate the Son from the Father and Holy Spirit, ultimately amounting to denying the Holy Trinity, which contradicts the Gospel entirely.
Hypostatic Union. The fullness of two natures distinct but united in one divine Person (the Second divine Person of the Holy Trinity). That is the only way to refute heresy on the topic. And it is the one given to the Church.
@Meghan that not what they believe... sorry
Hi, Maronite Catholic. I was wondering where I can find a source regarding the decision of the Coptic synod. I have tried, but I can't seem to find one.
@@mellowmartin4334 orthodoxwiki.org/Pastoral_Agreement_between_the_Coptic_Orthodox_and_Greek_Orthodox_Patriarchates_of_Alexandria_%282001%29
There is still no full communion, it still needs agreement of all patriachs of both families of churches, Pope Tawadros II said in a video but in Arabic that the coptic synod accepted the full communion with the eastern orthodox churches but still no official document because he said they are waiting an answer about the same from the eastern churches, but yet no answer, and it doesn't seem that an answer will come, specially after the new division inside the eastern orthodox churches after pope Kirill of Russia excommunicated the patriarchate of Costantinople and the newly formed independent patriarchate of Kiev.
In the last visit of Pope Francis to Egypt he tried to end the rebaptism between the two churches but the holy synod refused. ww.egyptindependent.com/baptism-rift-hits-francis-tawadros-ii-declaration/

This was actually a good video.
Arianism is found in Non-Christian cults such as the Jehovah Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, and Mormonism. A rejection of the Divinity of Christ as God and the Holy Trinity is what separated the Arians and Semi-Arians from the Christians.
Pelagianism is found in Evangelical Protestant denominations in which they believe that the Sacrament of Baptism is not necessary for salvation. While St. Augustine stated it would be impossible to have salvation without Baptism as such Baptism is a requirement of salvation as such no one could enter into the Kingdom of God without being Baptized in Christ's death.
Monophysitism the Church of the East and the Oriental Orthodox Church. However, the Oriental Orthodox Church regards themselves as Miaphysite being they believe their view is the same as St. Cyril of Alexandria. I do have to correct you on this one the Eastern Orthodox Church sided with the Western Church in accepting the Tome of Leo (Pope St. Leo the Great).
It is a common misconception that Mormons are Arians. That is not quite accurate. Mormons have many verses in their own scripture that affirm the oneness of God and Jesus being co-qual and co-eternal with the Father. They have very different formulas and language on how that oneness is achieved, and traditional Christians have loads of objections to those, (and that may make them semi-Arians depending on how you judge those things, I disagree, but then to some Catholics, Orthodox are practically social trinitarians and to some Orthodox, Catholics are practically Sabelians but I digress,) but in no way do they suggest that Jesus is merely a perfected man or subordinate to the father. He is fully God and was from the beginning. The difference between Mormon theology is on the other end of the equation. If they are heretics they are Origenists. It's not that they think Jesus isn't co-eternal to the Father, it's that all of humanity is somehow co-eternal with the Father as well. So they do destroy the Creator / Creation distinction, but it's on the other end of the spectrum. Which may seem like splitting hairs but these things do matter as the discussion about miaphysite and monophysite above demonstrates.
The early Christians never upheld the doctrine of trinity. The Bible is clear, there is only one God, the Father in heaven. Christ, the Son of God is truly human (I Tim. 2:5 CEV) and not god (Lk. 24:38-39 & Jn. 4:24)
Baptism is NOT necessary for salvation. BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31). The thief on the cross was never baptised!
Travis Clark Mormons believe that Jesus was sent to Earth by decree of a council of the gods.
@@johngurlides9157 I really pity you. Let me try to help save your soul.
Acts 16:31 They told him, 'Become a believer in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, and your household too.'
Nowhere in that verse does it say that no other requirements were needed for salvation. The fact that verse is silent doesn't mean that it rejects other requirements. Funny enough you've not noticed that immediately after that conversation, two verses later, the soldier and all of his household got baptised (verse 33). Then again I guess you haven't read your Bible enough to know that EVERYBODY who accepted Jesus Christ got baptised, even Cornelius and his household who had already received the Holy Spirit. The only exception is the thieve on the cross, and that is an EXCEPTION. You probably also haven't read your bible enough to know that baptism was commanded by Jesus Himself (Matthew 28:19).
Sometimes wonder if some people are not actually demons that come here to make comments to derail people's faith. Some of the arguments are so flimsy against the facts that they beg such conclusions.
I am Coptic Orthodox and what you said about our beliefs is horribly misunderstood. We believe miaphysitism which means that Jesus Christ was of one nature that is the nature of the incarnate Son of God. It simply means that his divinity abd humanity are completely insperable. Just check this part of the Coptic divine liturgy:
"Truly, I believe that His divinity parted not from His humanity for a single moment, nor a twinkling of an eye".
This doesn't sound at all like what you said that Christ our Lord was always of one nature, sometimes human others divine. Far from it!
Greetings Karen! As a point of clarification, Catholics too believe that Christ's human and divine natures are one and inseparable, resulting in a unique nature. When the natures were being manifest to the people when Jesus was alive, they just had to take on either human or divine characteristics, depending on the circumstances. So it is an just issue of language we use to explain things regarding the actions of Jesus.

@@BreakingInTheHabit Excuse me? Agree to disagree? Context? The most pernicious set of errors that has ever infected the minds of men isnt the worst heresy? Technically correct because modernism properly considered is not a heresy, in the singular, but a litany of heresies rooted in atheistic thought. A modernist is so steeped in wicked thought, so far from faith, so infested by so many unquantifiable heresies, that he is not so much a heretic as he is a total apostate. Maybe you need to read Pascendi Dominici Gregis and Lamentabili Sane, which you seem to have never read. Pope St. Pius X defined it as "the synthesis of all heresies" and later stated that "Modernism leads to atheism and to the annihilation of all religion."
Maybe you are dismissive of modernism because it has become so widespread and so ubiquitous you think modernism is actually Catholicism. Perhaps you should check what you actually believe and see if you are one yourself, God forbid.
Manifestations of Pelagianism also include the myth of "progress", and the excessive celebration of the "individual". IMO Pelagianism is the most pervasive and insidious heresy today.
I think part of the problem is the nature of both the left and right wing. The nature of the left wing looks at things in terms of "the system," and treats "the system" as insurmountable without another (human) system. The right is the exact opposite, and you don't even have to go very far right to get into Pelagianism.
the farthest left assumes the greatest weakness of the human being against the state or obstacles in general, the farthest right assumes the greatest strength of the individual against the state, or obstacles in general.
@@anahata3478 Huh?
Greetings from a Muslim,
lots of love and respect!
Your ancestors before Arabs conquered Algeria were Catholic.
Thank you for that explanation. And as a Catholic, I have always beeb curious, why has the Church for thousands of years addressed the issue of Heracy, not with a dialog, or conversation, not with an explanation or an in depth teaching, but rather by executing or burning at the steak? Is not murder a mortal sin, and listed in the ten commanents? You yourself stated that an error of thought or difference in a theological detail does not necessarily mean the person will go to hell, but what about the murder committed when the Heratic was killed? To me that is very clear that it is a mortal sin. Please explain this Father for I have always been confused by this behavior in the Catholic Church.
But that’s not even the case and I’m pretty sure you know it. When someone teaches something opposing to Christianity, they are given a trial, a chance to defend their teachings. This trial is filled with many bishops, priests and defenders of the faith. If the teaching is declared a heresy and against Christianity, then an official statement is made. That anyone who teaches this heresy shall be anathema(excommunicated). The person who teaches this heresy is not called a heretic but is asked to stop teaching it. If he doesn’t comply, then he is labeled a heretic and if it is seen that he is leading many faithful astray then the burning progresses. (Didn’t burning begin in like the Middle Age Western Europe, they would usually just exile them to an island or something). As you can see, there’s a lot of chances for conversation. If they let the heretic continue, then Christianity would be in complete disarray.
Finally something good suggested to me by RUclips. God bless you!
Good. Very interesting. Like to see more of it.God bless you dear.
And what about the roman-catholic doctrinal abuses? Let’s see: Filioque, papal primacy, imacullata ..., the cult of the heart, the use of waffles for the comunion instead of bread, not giving the blood for the comunion...shall i continue?
And what about the division and hatred among the orthodox communities. Totally unable to organise a council for 12 centuries. The 2016 attempt was a total failure. The bishops of Constantinople and of Moscow hate each other and fight to be the chief. The so-calling ‘diverse but united in faith’ is a joke. The orthodox have been unable to convert any people since 1054. Result: the orthodox don’t obey the Christ when he demand his disciples to stay united, and to go around the world to spread the gospel. The only unity among the orthodox is their hatred towards to Catholic Church. They spend all their time and energy criticizing the straw in the Catholic eyes, instead of noticing the beam in theirs. And they call themselves ‘christians’. Poor Christ!
And who says they are heresies? You?
What do you think of the denial of free will as professed by Calvinism (e.g. born a sinner or born saved as chosen by God)?
That is something I have pondered as well. If the Christian god is omniscient then he already knows who will be accepted into heaven and who will be rejected and sent to hell before they have even been born.
I find this doctrine to be horrible and opposite to Catholic beliefs so I would like to have a description on how each faith stands on salvation.
@@redclayscholar620But it's God's intention to gather as much of His Creation as He is able to. Free Will was a gift that unfortunately became a double-edged sword due to Satan's temptation and the Fall.
Remember the Parable of the Master and the Banquet - ultimately all are welcome. There will absolutely (and very sadly) be those who will refuse to answer the Master's summons; but the invitation was sent out everywhere to all who would listen to and answer that call. Which is entirely up to us if we are the ones who make excuses and rebuff His call, or the ones who heed it and follow.
That's why I frankly state what should be the obvious - the Master's House has no occupancy limit, as intended. Though we should never forget that there is a time limit, though we may not be privy to it. That's why we must be ever watchful for the Master's return, to use another Parable.
To summarize, Predestination is frankly absurd, and saying as such doesn't deny God's Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence.

Statement about Eastern Orthodoxy is completely incorrect. Eastern Orthodox accept the council of Chalcedon. I’m surprised a Catholic priest doesn’t know this since the Great Schism didn’t occur until 1054. It’s the Oriental Orthodox that are called monophysites, but more accurately miaphysites. Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox are not in communion most notably because of the different articulation of this Christological statement. This is an odd statement for a Catholic priest to make unless he is quite unaware of the Eastern Church or unless he is intentionally presenting the Eastern Orthodox Church as heretical. Even the pope has affirmed the validity of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
I don't know if it is a named heresy but in my mind the "health and wealth" or "name it and claim it" doctrine is so pervasive and so against Scripture that I wouldn't hesitate to call it a heresy.

The Matrix states that the Jewish Messiah (=Jesus) was a human with his flaws and doubts, ergo, it says that Jesus can't be God, which is a heresy.
The dislikes are from the people who see that this, is just another extremist
with extremist teachings, currently packaged in a sly and plush consumer-friendly form.
@@HexenStar That's a gross insult
People were burned for heresy, and you will never be able to remove that stain from your organization.
There is not enough water in the world to wash that blood off your hands.
If that is the standard, then every country, people, government, and religion would suffer the same condemnation. In fact if you compare other parts of the world that were not under Christian influence, the record becomes even bloodier. Now if you are saying that Christians should be held to a higher standard, then I would have to concur.
Christendom have influenced in killings of people who taught against the unbiblical teaching of the trinity
Nice. I hate to put a label on me, but I'm from an evangelical Anabaptist tradition, and that was very good! Thanks!
I was excommunicated by a cardinal in 1970 for being a heretic. I showed the letter to a Jesuit theologian a few years later and he explained it meant that I am eternally damned with zero chance of ever being redeemed due to the nature of my heresy. So I find this discussion rather amusing. Nothing but hair splitting on trivial matters.
That Jesuit's response - if typed as close to his words as possible - certainly doesn't sound like it was trivial.
Can someone tell me how you become a Catholic?
Hi. I can suggest first just talking to our Father and praying and finding personal relationship with Him. Then find a nearest catholic church. Go there, pray or go to the holy mass and talk to people, priest. They will help you and guide you to RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), to connect and become part of The Holy Catholic Church.
God bless you on your journey!
Pax Christi!
Please find your closest Catholic church-or a familiar Catholic church if you’ve been visiting one-and speak with the priest there about converting. This is best done after a Holy Mass. You can also call the parish office and speak with an administrator.
I hope this helps you! God bless!
@ A Cyr Welcome to the family ! Besides talking to a priest and taking up RCIA, I would suggest that you build up a personal relationship with Jesus by
1. spending more time in prayer and reading up Church history, bible history as well as apologetics to deepen your faith and spirituality.
2. Join a church to surround yourself with practising Catholics who can support you in your faith journey.
Praying for you, from another convert to Catholicism 🙏
Bro Casey made a video of this two years ago: ruclips.net/video/3vuYCjfO_w4/видео.html
Excellent .. Brother you seem to be warming up for something significantl 😀😀😎
Don't hold your breath, he seems to embrace modernism.
First the five heresies, next tilting at windmills, eh Sancho?
I wonder why he hasn’t mention the catholic false doctrines.
You are a teacher guided by the Holy Spirit 💖 of love and compassion! JESUSCRIST smiles and is very proud of you😇
Great video Father Casey 👍🏻
Heresy! Sacrilege!
Sorry, just had an urge... I don’t usually get to say these things xD

Worshiping the Personality of Christ for a better material existence and a pass into heaven is spiritually immature and manipulative. It takes more than that to link the soul with the kingdom of God. We want to live like Jesus and understand the metaphysical nature of his eclectic spiritual disciplines. We shouldn't Idolize his personality like how the romans idolized there gods. The problem with mainstream religion is that now its watered down to lectures and modern ideas. "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” Luke 11:52
Like Saint Nic, slap the heretic!
He biggest cult in the world is THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ITS ALSO THE RICHEST CHURCH THEY OWN THE MONETARY FUND. WORLD WIDE THEY ALSO SPONSOR THE DEMOCRATS. AND THE DEEP STATE THEY WILL USHER IN THE MARK OF THE BEAST. 666 GET OUT OF HER ASAP PLEASE LEAVE HER NOW GOD WILL JUDGE HER IN THE REAL SOON SHE IS FULL OF. PRIDE READ. REVELATIONS 13. THROUGH 18.
Yeshua the Lord ,,love your enemies,,
under no circumstances would I stop being a Christian, commit an act of violence "in the name of God", then go back to pretending to be a "Christian". I know this was done through history by non-christians pretending to be christians, wearing crosses and being very religious, but they are in hell now, crosses and all. "st." nic is roasting with his cross as we speak. so are all his non-'christian" fellows who those they did God service by persecuting others.
@@genemitchell8394 , men , I want to agree with you but...nobody is in fire place right now. All the deaths are in so called ,,sheol,, a place for expectations. In Heaven is same situation, wit 3 exceptions. Enoh, Elijah an Moses. So, all the wicked are in expectation of the second resurrection and judgement, and punishment .The righteousness are in expectations of the first resurrection and big recompense. Read the Bible, don't give credit to ,,mighty preachers,, May the Creator bless you, with eternal life !! If I make grammatical or textual mistake, forgive me please. English is not my first language.
@@genemitchell8394 Are acts of violence evil in and of themselves?
I grew up baptist, and once held the "once saved, always saved" doctrine. I came to reject it as a teenager as a result of studying scripture. But as I've grown to appreciate the nuances of this doctrine, and comparing it to the official doctrine of thr Catholic Church, I think both are saying largely the same thing. Of course, the two views have their important differences. I believe it is right to say that no good works or efforts we put forth merit salvation for us. It is only the saving work of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection that merits our salvation. However, it is by faith in this that we are saved. Faith is not a passive acceptance of an idea. It is an active cooperation with a proposition such that one's life is oriented toward it, living according to the idea's implications. And what does it mean to be saved? It means not just to be forgiven of sin, but to be freed from slavery to sin. Our faith, in cooperation with God's grace, offers forgiveness for our constant failings, while at the same time working sin out of our hearts, leading us to holiness before God. God's grace produces in us the goodness lacking for our salvation, which is provided by Christ.
In my own life, I still struggle with various sins. But I've learned not to let the disappointment at my failings lead me into a giving up attitude. I let it drive me to my knees in prayer and repentance. I pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance in changing my ways that need changing so that I can do what is pleasing to God.
after 2000 years of telephone i feel its sort of hard to say what he thinks
Catholics do that alot...legalism is their thing...these nitty gritty details definitely aren't in the bible...they're the opinion of church elders from centuries ago...doesn't make them correct...🤷♂️ just a bunch of bishops sat around arguing to consensus...and kicking out the one or two who don't agree and their followers...something murdering them...not exactly a holy process...
