I take it you don't believe in Heaven or Hell do you? There is a sea of NDEs, people who have died and seen either Heaven or Hell. Heaven is always beautiful, and Hell is always terrifying. I highly recommend you look into that.
Catholics argue with me all the time that if it were not for the Catholic church putting the bible together in 325 A.D., we would not have the bible today. I remind them that God can use anyone to bring the bible together but that does not make them the authority of the Bible - only God is the authority of the Bible. Also remind them that the bible is made up of letters from prophets and the new Testament from letters and writings from Jesus' disciples. Therefore the bible already existed before the councils.
It really disappoints me too. I think they just haven't discovered the difference between a true relationship with Jesus Christ and religiosity. When they're in it for the religion only, I have noticed, they'll go for Catholicism. True born again Christians like yourself, know there's a huge difference between the two.
I feel sorry for the Christian that have listen to Satan and not Jesus; Satan has the Christians believing, that at death they go to heaven, Jesus taught His disciples that HE (Jesus) was the only one that went to heaven; "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." John 3:12-13
I think both were looking for traditional faith, original faith, and I hope that as they grow in personal study and prayer they will realize sound doctrine.
@@speedchaser4991, witnesses for Jesus will be with Jesus in heaven, because we were already with Jesus in heaven in the beginning. Many descended down in order that others may be raised back up after their fall.
Preach it! The comments demonstrate that there is SOO Much confusion and opinion out there. People! Read God's words in the Bible, if you care for truth! Quit listening to the talking Heads , listen to God -- or be "driven about with every wind of doctrine" Note: Apostle John wrote "he that is of God heareth God's words." He was Quoting Jesus.

Hollywood knows that when you watch a movie, on the screen or by video, what you watch bypasses the logic centers of the brain and goes straight to the imagination. Its entertainment, so we just accept it as true within that venue, entertainment. Unfortunately we have just accepted something that is not true as if it is true, for the sake of "our" entertainment. Therefore it becomes part of "our" truth and we must now defend it. Our pride demands it. To make truth true again what we have subconsciously accepted as true must be argued against since it has now become "our" truth and we not only must but will defend it as being true. Pretty slick, right?

Yeah the DaVinci Code is jammed full of absolute nonsense, and strangely its been taken as gospel, so to speak, by an awful lot of people. Dan Brown already ha to answer for stealing ideas from other authors, but the way he treats history and the Bible is just shocking.
There were other books they left out that also spoke of the messiah and that were referenced in the Bible, like how the book of Jude referenced 1 Enoch. Why did they leave those out though? I believe that the Bible is God’s inspired word, but what of the other books that also go along with the Bible as well?
Because the Book of 1 Enoch we have now is not the Original Book of 1 Enoch, even if there ever was an Original Book of 1 Enoch, which I very much doubt! Saint Jude did not Reference a Book, but the very Spoken Word of Enoch the man! if there ever was a Book of 1 Enoch, which, again, I Doubt, it was most likely Lost in the Flood! Saint Jude referenced Enoch the Man, not a Book! so there may have never even been a "Book of 1 Enoch" before the Gnostics wrote one! Either way what we have now is a Blasphemous Forgery, created many Years later, in 200BC, during the "Second Temple Period" which is long Regarded to be the most Apostate and Heretical Period in the Entire History of Ancient Israel by Messianic Jewish Scholars, for the Second Temple Period was the Breeding Ground of the Countless Satanic Lies and False Religions of the Pharisees and the Sadducees! The Book of 1 Enoch that we have now was created by Jewish Gnostics, a Sect that even in their Day were seen as a Cult! seeking to Impart Jewish Fables of the Kind that Saint Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles Explicitly warned People to Avoid!, The "1 Enoch" we have now is pure Science Fiction! it is Perhaps the first ever Example of Science Fiction! it is based purely in Gnostic Lies and it is utterly Uninspired! God had nothing to do with it! In fact, 1 Enoch was Denounced as Heretical by the Early Church! as Recorded in the Second Century by Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, who Denounced 1 Enoch, along with Multiple other Forgeries such as Thomas, Judas, and Barnabas (that third one created by Early Muslims to Discredit Christianity, but Thomas and Judas are Gnostic, although Islam spawned from Egyptian Gnosticism) , in "Against Heresies", and we need to Remember that Saint Irenaeus knew what he was Writing about, as he was the Disciple of Saint Polycarp of Smyrna, who was the Disciple of Saint John the Divine Apostle, who was the Disciple that Jesus Loved! the Writer of the Gospel of John, 1, 2 and 3 John, and Revelation! The Original Book, even if there Ever was one! which I doubt! is long lost, and why? because, even if there was an Original Book, it was never canonical! all 66 Canon Books are Preserved, Anything that was not Preserved was never Canonical, because it was not Inspired by God! the Fact it was Not Preserved, can mean only one of Two things, One is that it Never Even Existed! which is the View I hold to, or Two, there was a Book of 1 Enoch, but it was not Inspired by God and it was lost in the Flood. Either way, Saint Jude Referenced the Man, Enoch, and would never, ever, Reference something as Utterly Blasphemous, Heretical, and Uninspired as the Forged, Gnostic, Trash known today as 1 Enoch! Stick to the Canonical 66! Sola Scriptura!
Jude does not mention the Enoch book. The "Enoch" Jude speaks of is NOT the one from Genesis. Look at the genealogy. He was clearly NOT the 7th from Adam. Matter of fact, the "Adam" Jude is talking about is Christ, the spiritual Adam. That is what the "Enoch book should be canon" crowd fails to understand.
Paul referenced pagan poets when speaking to the Greeks. That didn't elevate that particular poem to the status of scripture. He just pointed out one single reference where the poet got it right. Book of Enoch is a different subject. Jude doesn't reference the book...he references Enoch and we're not told the source. My understanding is that the Books of Enoch were postdated and crafted around this Biblical reference.
If you truly believe that GOD is in control of all things and that nothing escapes his purview, If you believe he created ALL that exists and that He is OMNISCIENT then you’ll understand that the current Holy Bible we have today….(’NOT the Catholic Church version, Mormon, Queen James etc;’) Is inspired, ordained and authentic. Although put together in the form of a book by man/men then centuries latter into our hands for mankind like you and me to know HIM, to love Him, and to live with HiM in His glory eternally, you must believe GOD guided those individuals who he would use to put the book/Bible together as HE GOD intended. For now all we must do for the master out of sheer obedience as humble slaves to our king is to serve HIM by sharing the gospel to the lost as commanded 😇🙏🏻❤
The problem I have with the council of Nicea is that they were all scholars. Well meaning,but none of them claimed to be called by God as an authority to decide anything. If any of them where, all he had to say was; "Thus saith the Lord". and that's that. Peter did not have a discussion with his fellow apostles. When he had the vision on the rooftop, that was it. No ifs, ands or buts. What makes anything about the council is that it was a Catholic group, and yet all the Protestants that broke away from the Catholic church refer to it as authoritative. How can the break from the Catholic Church with accusations of heresy, yet still accept its doctrines?

It's funny that even though Todd mocks the widely held assumptions about the Bible as being misinformed, his own assumptions are just as bad. Barnabas and Apollos were apostles, but there is nothing in scripture that says that they were part of the 120 or even that they ever saw Christ. Todd clearly doesn't understand what an apostle is.

Hi. I'm an ex-Lutheran turning Catholic. I just had a class today talking about the compilation of the Bible as we know it. I mistakenly believed the Council of Nicaea canonized the Bible, but no that is not correct. There is also no discernable "tone" that tells you that the Scriptures are inspired. It was the church *as an institution* that decided on an canonized the Bible. It was this magisterium that declared the Bible as the Bible. The title "Catholic" for this institution started being used around 110 AD, around the time of the compiling of the Scriptures by the early Christians. The name of the game in those times was oral tradition. The stories, accounts, testimonies, correct interpretations, and traditions of the early Christians were passed down *verbally.* Just as Paul wrote himself, "We must honor what has been written AND what is said." Long story short: it is thanks to the explicitly Catholic Church of the earliest centuries that we have the Bible. It has existed as an institution for 2000 years now. As well, the Council of Nicaea was a real council, a council of bishops, a uniquely Catholic position. They made the Nicene Creed that many Protestants still recite.
Mr. Friel keeps alluding to the testimony of the historic Church concerning the "canon" of the New Testament but does he listen to the same Church history on how we should understand the New Testament? He seems to put out maximum effort to elevate the Bible over the Church. Jesus never said, "On this rock I will build the Scriptures," no, "On this rock I will build My Church." Even the New Testament book of 1 Timothy asserts that the Church is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15), not the Scriptures. The Bible exists within the Church and is not a book over the Church or for others to use to attack the Church.
Mostly Good Stuff!..mr Wretched...But lay off the False "Cessationism" non-sense that u try and put into all your videos...like "no apostles in the church today..." and etc... Knock it off... God is certainly NOT pleased with this behavior... Thanx -- :)
@@NoChoke I am sure that U are familiar with Ephesians chap. 4 and others....Leave the false Cessationism and embrace the Holy Spirit and the truth of the Word... :)
Can you Biblically prove “Continuationism” over “Cessationism”? Continuationism is the reason why we have crazy doctrines and false gospels in the Christian community today. And I hope you know that “Cessationism” is not saying that all spiritual gifts have ceased, but specifies “miraculous gifts”. This does not mean God cannot give miracles today; God is almighty and sovereign. It simply means that He does not often give it through human channels, like he did in three eras of the miraculous, in the Bible-Moses/Joshua, Elijah/Elisha and Jesus/Apostles.
And of course YOU cannot prove Biblically the things that u just asserted....as some of your own Cessationists have admitted ...But certainly Hebrews 13:8 completely blows away any idea of Cessationism...and in 1 Corinthians chap 1 "so that you are not lacking in any gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, beyond reproach in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ"...from your own LSB Bible...any gift, it says, all the way to the end, the day of Lord Jesus, NOT just until about the year 100 AD...! ...and many things in the Bible make no sense at all if it was just for that time, with an expiration date...according to u , on much of Scripture...but the Word itself never says any such a thing. Instead, Pray with me that God Yahweh Jesus will pour out his holy Spirit just like on the day of Pentecost...! This country really needs it! And it says "but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind..." and on sons and daughters and on young and old, ya' know...not just on a few leaders for about 100 years only. --- It's Like what Jesus told the Sadducees ..."you are Badly Mistaken!"...
