@@kellywhite2715 Thanks much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@michaelpcooksey5096 I’m doing the best I can brother, don’t let good be the enemy of great. It’s Brian’s message that I’m focused on. Thanks for watching!

@@thedomesticmonk772 Yup ... I know you want a good presentation ... thats why I gave you a heads up. This is not a troll comment. You are doing a sort of public speaking ... To improve ... one needs to look at things objectively through the eyes of others ...and keep working on it. Check out the other youtube channels who host conversion stories ... study their methodology and focus, and body language during their interviews. We all start at point A and go from there. Your selection with Brian seems spot on ... the little square with your face insert in the upper right corner is a nice touch. Maybe imagine your guest sitting directly across from you at the kitchen table ... would you bob and weave there? My guess is you'd be much less anxious. So ... keep going ... and thank you for the comeback.

@@robertoescobar6977 you and me both. Thanks for watching!!!

@@jimbobxcityguy5338 thanks very much for watching and commenting. I am sorry for your loss.

I’m jealous!

I can defend it because Jesus founded it and guaranteed he’d protect it. People who make this argument are being disingenuous at best. The Church is made up of human beings and all of us are fallible and all of us are sinners. There is no organization, including YOUR denomination, which you have failed to identify, that has not had bad people associated with it. The Church isn’t wicked because there have been bad people in it, which they most defiantly have been. These men and women have the same free will we have and will be held to account just as we will be. In every generation from Judas to disgraced former Cardinal McCarrick there have been those who have caused scandal in the church. But there were 11 other Apostles who lived holy lives and built a Church that has lasted over 2000 years. Longer than any institution, nation or empire in the history of the world, as foretold in the book of Daniel. Likewise McCarrick’s shame in the last century has been offset by the likes of St. John Paul II, Saint Mother Theresa, Bishop Fulton Sheen, St. Maximillian Kolbe, Mother Angelica and countless other holy men and women who have lived the lives Jesus called them to live in His Church. I am a member of this Church because it is the only one Jesus founded. All others, yours too I’ll wager, were founded by man for man, proclaiming to know better than Jesus what he intended for His Church. It’s ironic you can see the sins of some in the Church but cannot see the pride and arrogance of that. How can I stay in the Catholic Church? Like St. Peter, upon whom the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church was founded, I ask, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6:68 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it!

Thank you, I am subscribed to Formed and will look for it.

@thedomesticmonk772 oh I hope you can find it. It's absolutely wonderful

Wow, that is pretty crazy. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Thanks much for commenting!

That is an amazing story, welcome home! Thanks very much for sharing.

I think it does, thanks very much for sharing!

Thanks for the comment. I do think both faith and works play a part in our salvation as both scripture and the Church teach; Mark 16:16 “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” John 3:5 “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the truth, unless a man is born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.’” Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Matt 24:13 “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (quotation from Jesus). James 2:24 “You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.” Matt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” In just these few passages we have baptism, faith, confession in Christ, perseverance and works all cited as being necessary for salvation. How can they be ignored? Scripture must be interpreted in its entirety and in context. That’s why the Church has always taught that salvation is a process of grace that we must cooperate with. We were saved through baptism, we are being saved by cooperating with grace and we hope to be saved through perseverance. It is all summed up nicely by St. Paul; “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” 2 Timothy 4:7-8. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@thedomesticmonk772 faith and works are both necessary for salvation. Also faith and works have no savings merits. When Adam fell, his previous good works could not take him back to the garden of Eden. The only thing that saves us is unmerited Grace. Adam and Eve sinned and Died. "If you eat you shall die" My faith and works show my gratitude. But the faith and works of a doomed "dead" man cannot even contribute to his salvation as far as merits.

@@medusa210562 so to clarify, they’re both necessary and unnecessary….🤔

@@thedomesticmonk772 they necessary as they reflect the life of a person who is following Jesus. But we are saved by Grace. Grace is an unmerited gift. There is only one meaning to Grace. Someone else takes your punishment and you are set free. If you deserve it you have earned it. We cannot earn it. When Adam and Eve sinned the fall Was bigger than most Christians understand. They were hopelessly lost. Infact they were as good as dead. God didn't say to them "be good now and you can fix your mistake" HE Himself took the penalty due to Adam Acts 20:28

@@medusa210562 thanks for your comment. I disagree with your analogy however. What happened before and after Adam’s fall are two different things. In the first he was in a state of grace, working with God and in that case his works most certainly did have merit. Good deemed them good. After the fall he was in a state of sin and needed to be redeemed. Cooperation with grace is required for salvation. That’s why both the Church and scripture teach the importance of works. Scripture is loaded with references to it, here are just a few examples; “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Quote from Jesus) Matt 7:21 “God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.” Romans 2: 6-7 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. John 3: 20-21 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:22-25 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. James 2:24 And let’s not forget the parable of the sheep and the goats which I omit due to it’s length. These teachings cannot simply be discarded for some theory that was developed by Martin Luther. It had never been taught previously and for good reason. It is contrary to scripture which he also claims is the highest authority. You cannot have it both ways.

He did tell the good thief exactly that actually, in just those words; “Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43. Moving the comma doesn’t really change the meaning at all. In either case, Jesus assures him he will be joining him in paradise. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@thedomesticmonk772 Have it your way then". It's your problem".Nothing in the Catholic Church is biblical anyway." So why did Jesus say, "No one has ascended to Heaven except the Son of man who came from heaven". John 3:13. and why did Jesus say, " Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to the Father:?John 20:17. Jesus never ascended to heaven when he died, Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after he was resurrected. If you want to believe lies go ahead. But the good thief wasn't a Catholic, maybe the other thief was. Also, the thief isn't in paradise Jesus is, the thief is still dead, and so is the biblical Mary. Those are the facts straight from the pages of the Holy Bible. I'm an Ex-Catholic, you stay Catholic if you wish to perish.

@@thedomesticmonk772 Moving the Comma from "YOU", to "TODAY", Doesn't change the meaning at all did you say? Are you serious,? Correcting the Comma position to where it is supposed to be, is the difference between the lie, and the truth.

@@benjaminfalzon4622 Are YOU serious? How exactly do YOU know where the comma is supposed to be? There were NO comma’s in the language it was written in.

@@benjaminfalzon4622 we have free will and you are certainly free to exercise yours. But you cannot separate Jesus from His Church. Your claim that the “Catholic Church isn’t biblical” fails on its face. Jesus gave us a Church, it was the Church who gave us what you call the Bible. The New Testament was written, preserved, propagated and canonized by that Church. To assert that you know better what scripture teaches than the Church Jesus vested with the authority to produce it is pretty audacious. God bless brother, thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for sharing that story!

Thanks!

Thanks much and well said!

Tell us the shoe fit and you wore it without saying it.

No, I understood what he said completely, I just disagree with it. It seems like someone who supports Mr. Dawkins would be open to differing opinions. By the way, disagreement does not mean the same thing as hate. It just means we don’t agree. Thanks for watching!

That’s one perspective, but I think it is quite a stretch. No one did more good works than Mother Theresa and she required her sisters to spend a minimum of 1 hour a day in prayer before the blessed sacrament. Prayer is central to our relationship with Jesus and to our faith. Scripture is full of references to Jesus himself going off to pray, they wouldn’t be there if it weren’t important. Scripture, the Church and the lives of the Saints all demand of us prayer and fasting. Let’s face it, prayer was completely lacking in this portrayal of St. Frances Cabrini. We can justify it anyway we want, but it was not present in the movie. Thanks for watching!

Being handed a way of life does not mean it’s easy or lazy. As these survey’s show many people were raised Christian and didn’t do the work required to truly live as Christians and are walking away from the faith. The results have not been positive and they’re none the happier for it. That is what this whole channel is about, encouraging people to do the work to learn their faith, love their faith and love their faith. Thanks for watching!

@@thedomesticmonk772 What do you consider "work required"? Salvation itself doesn't require any work other than believing. The works are a result of believing. Sheep bleat because they are sheep, not to become or remain sheep.

I was thinking something along the lines of; Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Matt 7:21 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.” Romans 2: 6-7 “You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.” James 2:24 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:22-25 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct. Matt 16: 27 The dead were judged according to their deeds, by what was written in the scrolls. Rev 20:12 Behold, I am coming soon. I bring with me the recompense I will give to each according to his deeds. Rev 22:12 For starters…

@@thedomesticmonk772 There's a difference between salvation and rewards.

@@DashRiprock-m3b sorry, but redirection does not work in this case. You simply discount the word of God for your own opinion. That doesn’t work for me.

Thanks much and thanks for watching!

That’s awesome, in my next video I talk about St Augustine, it’s posting today. Thanks for watching!

If you want a Catholic spirituality movie you should be looking towards John of the Cross, Theresa of Leseuix or Maria Faustyna Kowalska. These saints are known for their spirituality while St Patrick’s calling and great contribution to the Church was as an evangelist. Besides, this movie isn’t billed as a movie about Catholic spirituality, it was based upon his two letters, his confession (autobiography) and the one he wrote against Coroticus. It holds very true to the content of those letters. Thanks for watching!

Thanks much and thanks for the correction. I appreciate the support!
