Dr. Pitre is the best i have come across, and i am happy to learn so much of our catholic faith and opening up our minds in understanding better and clearly the in-depth theology. love from India.
St Paul is fascinating, esp as you expertly dive into his letters with orig translations, historical setting, Paul's own powerful person, all wrapped in Scripture. Thank you so much for sharing here! God bless and Happy 2023!
Again another great teaching & reflection. Thank u Dr Pitre. God bls u & keep u well, now & always, 2gether wit ua loved ones, thr Christ Jesus, amen. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
its important to note that when Paul emphasizes "according to Scriptures", he does not mean the Scripture or the Bible that we have today, since most books of the NT are not written yet during this time. Pau is referring specifically to the prophecies of the Old Testament books.
He was probably talking about the Gospel of Matthew in 1 Corinthians 15:4. The Ante-Nicene Fathers suggest a very early writing date for Matthew, and Paul's writings imply familiarity with it.
@@franciscoscaramanga9396 Does it have to be Matthew? Couldn't it have been Mark, which is generally recognized as the earliest? (i.e. 50ish AD). Most of the content is similar.
@@samueljennings4809 It's not recognized as the earliest; the unanimous assent of the *actual* historical evidence is that Matthew was written first. Literary inheritance theory is the intellectual equivalent of the guy with a bunch of newspapers and strings on his wall.
Dr. Pitre, thank you for interpreting such difficult interpretation for someone like me. Last year I started reading the Bible for the first time in my life, and having gone to catholic school 1-8th grade, 3 1/2 decades ago, but back then school never made students read the Bible, it was very like you're alright, life is great, very cheesy picturesque type of catholicism books, really a joke. If that CORNY idealogy was to take place today, there wouldn't be anyone going to church. I'm making up for loss time. Also I know for a fact if these vids were interpreted in spanish for my mom and other people I know that go to her Bible class, they would gain valuable clarity through your scholarly knowledge and there would be 10 times as many people going to Bible class and the church would be larger, thank you!
One thing I learned as an adult Catholic: Two groups you would never learn the Catholic education from: a. Catholic Schools/universities b. priests Catholic universities and schools are breeding ground of evangelicals that target Catholics. And the school is ok about it. There are more devout evangelicals in Catholic universities than devout catholics. The priests rarely, very rarely, make sermons about specific Catholic doctrines. Most of the time, their sermons are about practical life experiences and are disconnected from the Mass readings thank God, there people like Dr Pitre, who explain it all in simplest ways possible.
Because for me it was a joke, back in the 80's nothing was explained and during the holidays we had projectors, which looking back now it's hard to believe they played movies like the Ten Commandments, I mean that's my mom's childhood generation of movies.
Thank you, Dr. Pitre, for your very educational videos. What I love about St. Paul in this segment is that he said he passed on what he "received" from ____. Can I infer that Paul received this information or articles of faith from God/Jesus? St. Paul's conversion and evangelization are so worthy of wonder. Did Jesus instill all this information to Paul on the road to Damascus? I love this. Thanks!
In heaven we will all believe the same. We will know our Father and our mother. We will see the King and the Queen. Our Faith tradition makes us a community of communion. So important for increasing the body of believers. Division blocks our community of Faith!
Really enjoy watching these videos from here in the UK.Saint Paul refers to those who saw Christ but makes no mention of the disciples on the road to Emmaus.Is there an explanation?
I also think that people often confuse tradition with liturgical practices. The beginning of the Catechism makes it clear that those are two separate things. The tradition is what Jesus taught and handed down to his disciples, who then handed it to others. Tradition can't change. But liturgical practices can change, and have changed, and do differ.
Contrary to what your religion wants you to believe, Paul was baptised by Ananias, one of the leading Christian in the town of Damascus. (c/ref: Acts 9:10-18) So through the act of baptism, he has received the faith of the Apostles that Jesus Christ died, buried and rose from the death to atone for your sins and save you from eternal death or damnation. Peace.✌
@@eddixxon Contrary to your conjecture, my religion has never mentioned such a trivial person by name. My religion, however warns about those who associate partners with God, claime falsely to be prophets of God, abolish the laws of God and make what has been prohibited by God permitted and visa versa such as this imposter. May God curse him in hellfire along with the church fathers who followed his heresy as the have mislead many people and caused blood shed throughout history such as in crusaders wars, inquisitions, Nepolean wars, WWI, WWII, Hiroshima, Nagazaki, Afganistan, Irag and many other places. And if you dip such a person in acid he will stay filthy. He is a devil walked on earth. He hijacked the monotheistic message Jesus came up with frm God and turned it into polytheism.
@@shihabshihabi Congratulation, spoken like a true disciple of your prophet. Give yourself a pat on the back! Btw, you forgot to mention the massacre of Shias by the Sunnis and vice versa and the murder of Caliph Ali by the very followers of the way in the early days of the spread of the religion of peace which has nothing to do with the Crusaders. Another pat on the back for hiding the truth, err....in the name of taqiyyah?
@@shihabshihabi Yeah right, defend with lies and claims that are not Apostolate in origin? Who are you trying to kid? So according to the Quran, if Allah had spared Jesus from the dying on the excruciating cross and put Judas in His place, then why didn't Allah spared Muhammad from dying as the result of eating the poison roasted lamb prepared by the Jewish widow, Zaynab bint Al-Harith after 3 long years of suffering, until your prophet felt like his aorta was cut in two? Does that mean that Allah love Jesus Christ more than Muhammad? If that is the case, than you should bear witness that Jesus Christ is the true prophet of God and not Muhammad because Allah didn't save him (Muhammad) from that terrible suffering and eventual death like what He did to Jesus.
Where is justice ?in Islam or in Christianity? * Imagine with me that there is a bad Muslim who kidnapped a young girl (Muslim or non-Muslim) who did not reach puberty, so he raped her, and for fear of arrest, he killed her and buried her in a place that no one would find - a typical crime - What will be his fate in the hereafter? With regard to Islam, this criminal - even if he was a Muslim - will be cast into the Fire for eternity in it and he will not die there. As for the girl, he will live in Paradise. A Christian raped an immature, non-Christian girl and did the same thing that a bad Muslim did to hide his crime. His reward in Christianity is that he will perpetuate in heaven, and as for his victim, he will perpetuate in hell!
The Apostles creed came after Paul was long dead. It was made from the Gospels, not any "church" tradition. Paul working hard had nothing to do with Him getting saved. He did His works because Paul was saved by grace. This made him work harder for others to be saved. It has nothing to do with Him getting saved. This is the same thing James referred to. We are saved by Grace but that should produce works. It does not have anything to do with our salvation. Grace is for Salvation, that salvation and grace should produce works.
Mattthew 7:21 Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those *who actually do* the will of my Father in heaven will enter. Unless you were not created with a free will, work will come automatically after grace and faith. And Agape Love would be fake in the absence of free will as well as all loving efforts or acts of kindness, not to mention your wife's Eros love for you! And the Love of the Sacred Heart who offered His Life on the cross in obedient to His Father for us was and is nothing more than an automated and a natural act not something to be thankful for. Meaning to say, all your worship songs in your Sunday services are all fake and nothing more than lip services, devoid of gratitude and thankfulness. Shame on you, Ben the cyborg! Go ahead then and pour scorn on the cross.
@@Richie_roo We are saved by faith. That faith should produce works. If it doesn't then a person is very lazy. Works will not get you into heaven but it will get you a better standing in heaven.
Paul spoke against the changes that catholics made in the gospel because as a prophet he knew the works of catholicism before they turned away. Galations 1:8 clearly accursed the catholic changes in the gospel that catholicism has embraced. Petre refuses to acknowledge those changes. Petri quoted catholic doctrine not the gospel preached by Paul. The " Apostles Creed " exists no where in the scriptures of Paul. Catholicism is accursed.
The"traditions" Paul handed down were Christ crucified, that He hung in the cross and was dead and buried, and the third day He arose from the grave. Others He may have passed were communion and baptism and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The only other traditions Paul knew were Jewish traditions. What he never passed on was any stupid idea about Mary being a queen or the dead interceding for us in prayer.
@@alejandrocanela691 You must be reading the lies of Jerome. Maccabees and the others are useless. They are okay to read but they have nothing of value for us.
@@alejandrocanela691 Luther did not write the KJV. It has some mistakes in it. Such as Holy Ghost instead of Spirit. That is why I never use it for a study guide. I use the NIV and the NASB to study the scriptures. They are taken from the original Greek. Jerome changed Luke 1:28 when he made his Latin Vulgate. The word he uses for grace is wrong, The original Greek says highly favored. The word he wants to use is found only twice in the Bible, John 1:4 and Acts 6:8.
@@bcalvert321 1.In case you hadn't notice, Mary was declared Full of Grace by the angel Gabriel, meaning she was sinless. And if you believe that you are saved by Grace through Faith, then, all the more you should honour the Adulation given by God to Mary through the angel Gabriel, if not your adherent of the doctrine of Sola Fide would be pointless. Btw, I didn't see your name specifically anywhere in the bible with the fraction of that honour. Care to quote? 2. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!” If Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are declared alive before the historical timeline of Jesus' resurrection, how much more alive is His Mother after His resurrection? If Mary, Jesus' Mother who is honoured with the title Full of Grace is declared death as you would love to believe, then your faith in Jesus Christ would be in vain and would make God an ultimate liar. You know the consequences for that, don't you?

Thanks Dr. Pitre! I always appreciate insights into the issues of tradition and the relationship between faith and works. And you do it so well!!

It literally makes this distinction in the catechism.
