Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us
Amen 🙏
Weirdo
Heathen
@kervet6046
A heathen is someone that doesn't worship the one True God. We, as Catholics, only worship that one true God. We do not worship Our Lady if Guadalupe, we only ask her to pray for us.
Amen!
Michael is correct
How so?
Name a way in which he could be correct on this topic, and he is correct.
You don’t know that. Humble yourself and do not assume the opinion or truth of the creator.
He’s wrong, also he’s no expert anyway
@@Sam-m6o3jYou misunderstood. Michael is right because he's following the Creator's(and Redeemer's) wishes. That's why he's right. And that's true humility on the part of Michael or anyone else
The only reason I am Catholic (a Traditional one) is b/c I went down the rabbit hole of objective reality via reason, logic, historical fact etc. It was the writings of the Early Church, the Apostolic and Early Church Fathers, that showed me Catholicism is the one true faith. May ALL people find that truth and may they be set free as they come home:+) God bless~
Just don't go around calling yourself a Christian, please
Please tell me which church fathers did you start with?
@@kervet6046he is a christian bro
@@a-medee catholics are not Christian. Deal w it
@@kervet6046 The term Christian was first used in Antioch within a decade of Pentecost, around AD40. The term Catholic was also used/noted in Antioch but a little later, around 110AD. St. Ignatius of Antioch, an Apostolic Father who learned at the feet of St. John the Apostle was the first to use it. So Catholic and Christian are basically the same thing:+) God bless~
Good having him on the podcast. God Bless.
I love how he asks the question of "what if your wife doesn't want to convert with you ?'. It comes back full circle to the choice of Catholicism. Because Catholicism actually even allows marriage between different religions. It does not recommend it, because it does note it's complicated and there are some things you have to do, like making an effort to raise the children catholic, but compared to several other religions, it's way more flexible in that aspect.
It's not Catholicism that allows it, the Bible does. If it were not so, your Catholic religion would be heretical.
Just become "born again" like the Bible talks about and forgrt "religion". The clear distinction in the Bible is those who know Jesus and those who don't.
damn I love this video. Michael’s explanation is soooo spot on. The Catholic life is just great and most true!
First, Christ has redeemed the world. Christ has conquered the powers of sin and death. The Gospel is good news for a reason!
Second, Christ actually instituted a single, unified Church while he was on Earth in order to confer his salvific divine life to the rest of humanity. We call this Church, this body of humans, the Catholic (aka "Universal") Church today. The Church is Christ's bride, whom Christ has come to wed himself to on Earth, a wedding which will extend forever in Heaven.
The Bible begins with an earthly marriage between Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and ends with a supernatural marriage between Christ and His Church in Heaven.
Heaven is an wedding feast. And God wants to marry us, now and extending forever into eternity. To all who read this comment, I exhort you, for your own good, to join the Catholic Church, the eternal bride of Christ, instituted on the authority of Peter and his successors (Mt 16:18-19), which will last until the end of time.
God love you.
There is no denomination that is the true church. The true church, (the body of Christ), consists of inividuals who have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Saviour.
I’m pleasantly surprised that you had Michael Knowles on. My level of respect for you guys has gone way up 👏🏻
We are not able to have the capacity to judge who will enter the kingdom of God. That's none of our business. Christ is the only real judge, because he truly knows everyone's heart, motive and intention.
It’s a difference between different faiths and religions
It's so damn easy! Read the historical writings of the Apostolic Fathers! It is this type of ignorance among men that has led people to join other religions. No matter how messed up the Catholic Church is today, it's still the Church that was started under Christ.
You said YES to Grace from the God who loves you!
So good!!
Great answer
Very well put!
I hope, the guys also come to this only correct conclusion and accept Christ !)
Here’s what Michael and these guys all get wrong, if maybe just in this clip.
Religion doesn’t need to explain science. It doesn’t need to explain that we exist or how we were created (evolution vs creation). It does need to explain why we are here . We’re here to exercise our agency and be tested in a mortal life. The purpose of that is so that we can learn to trust God and gain faith. Because we will be imperfect and make mistakes, a merciful and just god provided a savior; his son Jesus Christ. His atonement for our sin allows us as imperfect people the opportunity to make it through this life and return to our father in heaven after we die.
You can certainly find joy and happiness in this life without believing this. But the purpose of this life isn’t simply to be happy. It’s to be tested and given the opportunity to become like Him.
Ephesians chp 4.There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. & “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.””
John 14:6-7
The level of discomfort from the homosexual next to Graham is hilarious 😂
Ha brutal
He is?
Catholicism ❤
The truth and fullness are found in the unchanged Orthodox Church.
The orthodox church is great, but they don't evangelize. They don't spread the word. They they in Asia and Africa spreading the word?
There are a lot of theories WITHIN physics. But scientists all agree on the basic concepts of physics. They don't believe in different physics.
They’ll all be studying Terryology in the future. We will save Uganda
This is SO SO simple...most of the different "religions" agree on the Salvational issues. It's the offshoot rituals of each where the arguments occur.
Sorry Michael but The Pope disagrees 🤠
It's a good thing the Pope can be wrong on things.
@@HeHasRisen. "The Pope just unabashedly and directly contradicted the very words of Jesus and completely compromised the very core message of the Gospel and salvation? He then doubled down on it again when he got back to Rome? Whoops, I guess he made an oopsy 👉👈. Why are calling him out? It's not like he's *THE VICAR OF CHRIST."*
@@GoofyAhOklahoma Yea and he's wrong, dosent mean the faith is wrong tho. Remember how many times Peter was wrong in the gospels?
@@HeHasRisen. Agreed. But it sure as heck doesn't make me want to be a Catholic. Especially after seeing many Catholics are trying to defend him.
If you see a defense of Pope Francis it’s because many Catholics believe he was taken out of context and he didn’t do himself any favors with loose language. But the Pope does NOT disagree with Catholicism as the one true church founded by Christ.
This is a wild crossover
Eastern Orthodoxy is the fullness of truth. No changes have EVER been made to its doctrine. Check your history and see what changes Catholicism has made after the schism in 1054.
@@pantelitsafridas6730 no changes. There are no new revelations after the death of the last apostle.
Study other religion is the only way to know the truth .
Not necessarily. Most pagan religions can't be true.
'Religion is man's search for God, Christianity is God's search for man' - Peter Kreeft.
I studied other religions, they are trash. Catholicism only
I’m Christian. I’m not Catholic
So you believe in man made belief (Luther)?
@@AK_Catholic_Traditional "Man made belief." You mean like the RCC believes man's tradition is equal to the Bible?
@@johnbrowne2170 The Catholic Church gave you the Bible. Furthermore - Tradition precedes the Bible. It’s a Catholic book, compiled of many books of itself which Church decided (by the guidance of the Holy Ghost) which books belong there.
There was no Bible for hundreds of years after Christ, only his Church.
Read the Holy Bible for yourself. Jesus is the Way the Truth & the Life no one comes to the Father but through Him. John 14:6
The filioque contradicts the cappadocian model of the trinity defined at the council of constantinople. Vatican 1 descriptions of ecclesiology are not found in the first thousand years of the church as conceded by the vatican in the alexandria and chieti documents. Moral judgments like the death penalty have been completely changed with vatican 2. Papal supremacy is not found in the first thousand years of the church. In fact according to apostolic canon, no bishop can enact power outside of his own jurisdiction.
Christianity is not = Catholicism.
Many religions believe that they are helpful rather than insisting that they are right.
I think Michael Knowels is an angel.
These guys are the soyboy Millennial version of the Muppets’ Statler and Waldorf.
As long as you hold on to the 3 Gods=1 God, you have not found the one true faith yet.
It’s the EO Orthodox Church l, Roman Catholics are in schism, to have the one true religion it needs to be the church that dates back to the time of the apostles and must remain with the same teachings from the beginning.
All other church would be considered heterodox
Ok wait "space aliens" from scientology sounds crazy but "sky man" and "made from dirt and a rib" these sound acceptable it amazes me the crap people are willing to over look or just flat out through all critical thinking out the window when it comes to things that sound just as ridiculous it's just not the same ridiculous thing.
Isn’t Catholicism the first Protestant? Orthodox first.
Logic and reason lead people to Catholicism.? Let's see the data Knowles.
His argument makes no sense. He's saying there had to be something that put everything into motion. Why does there have to be a someone why can't it just naturally happen through natural process.
The more philosophically phrased argument is less about actual motion and the idea of philosophical potential, the ability to be changed or moved from a prior state to a more developed one. The Thomist argument concludes that a being that cannot be changed by any other being must exist to prevent the infinite regression of beings acting upon one another. It's similar to tracing the expansion of the universe back to a moment of infinite density, the Big Bang.
The natural processes also leave open an important question: why do these natural processes occur the way that they do?
Im not an intelectual or theologian. But I thought about your comment for a little bit. Where did the natural process come from ? Before the earth stars, moon and galaxies im assuming there was nothing. Imagine a pitch black void. How does something come out of a pitch black void ? In that pitch black void there has to be something that gets things in motion. Well you could say that a pitch black void IS also something. Where did that pitch black void come from ? The only thing that makes sense to me is that it comes from something that has always been. God wasnt created . He has always been. And that God created us with the ability to ponder our existence. That void in our hearts that longs for happiness. A longing that cant be fulfilled by earthly pleasures. That longing is Him calling us back to Him our creator.
Pax Christi
@@jron772 You argument is called the "Kalam cosmological argument" and it's a logical fallacy. Just becasue the universe had a beginning doesn't mean it's more likely that something supernatural made it. You also cannot backup your claims and statements of God always existing let alone any evidence for any god or gods. So I'm curious as to why you think this.
@@guitargod259 it's not that there's no evidence of any gods, but that the evidence needs to be weighed and found either strong enough or too weak to point the way to that conclusion. There is evidence for religions other than the one I believe in, but based on my evaluation of the evidence and the arguments from that evidence I am convinced that Christ is the way. Examples include the minimal facts of the resurrection, my readings of Goedel's philosophical work (not even a religious text, Goedel was a very lapsed Christian at best and most likely a Deist), and the personal experience I have with trying to implement Christian teachings into my life.
I would advise you to not write off religious claims wholesale, regardless of what you yourself might end up concluding.
An interesting question I often see asked in this type of exchange: if somehow you became convinced that a particular religion was true, Christianity in this context, would you follow it? Maybe you have some personal conversion experience, maybe some argument you've never heard before leaps out at you, whatever might cause this, would the soothing of your intellectual objections be enough to get past that wall in order to live a different life?
✝️✝️🗡️🗡️Amazing
HOW and WHEN is a person saved?
By joining the one true Catholic Church and each one of us attains or fails to attains salvation at our judgement just after leaving this life.
By accepting God's gift of man's salvation through the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ who spilt his holy blood so that we could once again have a path to eternal life, reunited with our creator. Catholics have their own culture of complicating things. The answer is in Jesus and his word.
By following our Lord in all the things he has revealed in His Truth that sets us free from sin. Includes at least 14 things that are necessary for Salvation and NONE of them “alone”.
@@PatrickSteil this is heresy.
@@PatrickSteil what are these 14 things?

Excellent use of Thomas Aquinas
I don’t believe in sects before marriage 😂
I did a double take when he said that 🤣
He is so well spoken and well read
Bishop Barron said it best, “the Catholic faith is not a faith that says we’re right and you’re wrong, but that we have the fullness of truth instead of parts of truth”.
He also mentions, the Jewish faith only accepts people within their bloodline, Muslims often authoritatively converted, but the Catholic faith accepts all from all walks of life.
The jews only except their bloodline? Thanks for showing us agin how catholics just make it all up. Your all idol worshipping pagans
The Orthodox Church says the same: the fullness of faith and the way of being are found within the one true Church of Orthodoxy. Christianity without "theosis" is arbitrary, which I believe Orthodoxy articulates and acts out more fully.
@@dominicdarmanin9866 I have a lot of respect and love for my Orthodox brothers and sisters.
@@ronniemartillo I do too for my Catholic brothers and sisters, may we one day be reunited!
Romans 3:23-25 ESV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, [24] and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, [25] whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Faith produces good works but good works play no part in obtaining or keeping salvation

The Catholic Church preserved, compiled, translated, chose the books to include and declared the Bible canon in 382 under Pope Damasus at the Council of Rome. Jesus didn’t leave us a Bible but He did leave us a church (Matthew 16:18).
”Wherever the bishop shall appear, there, let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the *Catholic Church.* “ (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Chapter 8) -St. Ignatius of Antioch, 107 AD
Scriptures, history, logic and reason is all he had to say.
Scriptures? Like the ones endorsing rosaries, scapulars, Mary worship, holy water, forbidding priests to marry, confessionals, purgatory, infallible Pope, and all kinds of other made-up doctrine?
History? Really? The Catholic church, with one of the most abominable histories (second only to Nazi Germany, which it had alliance with) in mankind's existence, is justified by it??
As many outright false scriptures as the Catholic church has concocted, there are many that are indeed true. It is up to every Catholic, and indeed every one of us, to seek out that which is true, and reject, even expose, that which is not. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," God tells us. Trust in him alone, not people. When we stand before God in judgement, he couldn't care less what "religion" we affiliated with - only what we did with, for his Son.
@@johnboehmer6683 Michael Knowles is so wise yet so foolish. All religion is partially man made therefore imperfect. There is only ONE Church and Jesus Christ is the head of it.

The Catholic Church preserved, compiled, translated, chose the books to include and declared the Bible canon in 382 under Pope Damasus at the Council of Rome. Jesus didn’t leave us a Bible but He did leave us a church (Matthew 16:18). Every Catholic essentially reads the entire bible (OT & NT) every 5yrs at Sunday Mass.

To be steeped in history is to leave Protestantism and become Catholic, because it is the fulness of truth.
'Fullness of truth' is a ridiculous meaningless statement that spotlights the catholic church made up rubbish
Wrong.
@@Rockafella1861 'fullness of truth' is a ridiculous baseless statement, transubstantiation limbo and the holy spirit are all so far from truth it's laughable.
@Renny-c9h the Holy spirit is far from truth?
The idea that one way is true while other ways are wrong, is the basic premise for our entire school system or any type of truth. It's the single worst argument against a belief. Many people can be wrong, while few people are right. That's usually how things work. And ultimately, the view that all religions are wrong, or all religions are true, simply becomes another truth-claim added to the bunch. Not somehow above the question of what is right or wrong. Great job by Michael.
That’s cool and all, but my god squats ass to grass so your point is invalid probably

Shocking fr
Yes, the religion with the LEAST amount of ridiculous claims is the most “plausible”.
The one true way to God is Christianity, not Catholicism, with all its human based dogma. The one true church is comprised of true believers from many denominational backgrounds.
Got that right. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
'fullness of truth' hahaha
We all land roughly in the neighbourhood of the beliefs we grow around. What irony! We are driven by biases to know the ultimate perfect God. God is infinite and the ways to reach Him are infinite.

Michael Knowles is so wise yet so foolish. All religion is partially man made therefore imperfect. There is only ONE Church and Jesus Christ is the head of it.
God is defined as a being than which none greater can be concived.
A being that necessarily exists is greater than one that does not necessarily exist.
If God exists only in the mind and not in reality, then a greater being could be imagined-one that necessarily exists.
But no greater being can be imagined than God.
Therefore, if God exists in the mind, God must necessarily exist in reality.

Jesus is prophesied to the smallest detail in the Old Testament.
Excellent Thomistic arguments. I was a Pentacostal, descended into agnosticism, and the ascended into Catholicism. Even CHAT-GPT knows that God exists, Christianity is True, and of all Christian sects only Catholicism makes sense. You just have to make it make a decision :)
What a great clip!! Had no idea you were Scientologists lol he chose the wrong example there. Not that I believe in the alien sci-fi stuff, but I could understand how him calling your religion unreasonable might throw you off. Super glad you had him on!
It's funny the later question they asked about whether or not it would be a deal breaker if Michael's wife did not go along with the religion. I came to religion the same way he did. I came to the logical conclusion that there must be a creator, So did the creator create and just disappear or is it a personal creator? If it's a personal creator then which religion seems most logical? When I came to Christianity I said okay which denomination seems most logical? I became a devout protestant and well catechized. It wasn't until recently that I started to become challenged by Roman catholics that I decided I would learn more than the average catholic so that I could convert catholics to protestantism, And through all of the extensive and in depth studies and reading I did, I wound up backing myself into the front door of the Catholic Church. I had to admit I was wrong, And that catholicism is correct.
But back to my original point, Is my wife and I were not religious initially. She lets me have my religion, She lets me engage our children in it, But she wants no part of it. Is it has been difficult, I would be lying if I said differently. But it is possible.
Literal scientologists..

Man he’s so smart and good at explaining things. Love my Catholic brother!
Gotta Love the brilliance of Michael Knowles!
Viva christus rex🙏. I often forget how baded Michael is.
No other faith washed away our sins... only Jesus Christ ❤ 😊
One once of Michaels intellect hurts my peace brain head and spins me into a huge smile of faith for what he states.
Catholicism is the most logical and reasonable faith because it was started by Jesus and he is the logos of God.
Why do I need catholicism when I have a Bible and the Holy Spirit who "leads all believers into truth".
Jesus was Jewish
The Orthodox Church says the same thing.
The fact that Catholicism is still around in spite of everything says everything 2000 years down the road. Everything else have come and gone
Judaism has been around almost 4000 years, yet they reject Jesus as the Messiah, so................
Hinduism is much older.
So ignorant
Knowles is spot on.
Jesus Christ is Lord!
Orthodox ☦️ 👌
The little horn power that rises out of the ten divisions of the Roman Empire is the papal system. Catholic faith is the antithesis of the gospel of Christ. If you set Catholicism and Jesus side by side you would see the promised Messiah and the prophesied Antichrist. Did Jesus compel the conscience by force? Did Jesus live in luxury and pomp or did He have no place to lay His head?
Catholic faith is perfected paganism through and through.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved!

He implied the grace of God expands your intellect to keep searching, find reasonable evidence, and after and abundancy of it, you come to a logical conclusion, which prepares you to make an act of faith that reaches farther than the evidence you have. This is what Michael implied, that God was a guiding force because He has made Himself known and wants others to encounter by any of the means He set up. “Faith seeking Understanding”.
The Catholic Church is TRUE
God equipped us to search for the Truth and find It. He revealed Himself to us through His Only Son Jesus. If we investigate His claims, history and the evidence in the lives of people around us and all over the world we will come to see that Christ is Who He says He is.
I think this culture cannot see the truth because it has grown effete and attached to its sins.
Jesus Christ is alive in the eucharist. Transubstantiation only takes place when it is ministered through a priest that has been appointed through apostolic succession. So for one unless you’re taking the Eucharist regularly, Jesus Christ is not alive in you. Secondly, if that Eucharist wasn’t given by a TRUE PRIEST then it is void of life, it’s just bread. Those are facts READ.

Martin Luther would disagree
Nobody cares what that hell-bound heretic of the Devil says.
So does the devil
But do you disagree?
Martin Luther, a sexual depraved drunk who couldn’t win a debate, refused to accept scripture that disagreed with his man made doctrine and typically ended with ad hominem attacks on those he debated. The entire Protestant reformation was nothing more than a power grab. It was all the kings of individual countries wanting to break ties between Catholicism aka the Church and that countries citizens.
Martin Luther was also a terrible theologian so that doesn’t hold any weight.
Orthodoxy is original Christianity church structure before great schism and Roman Catholicism, “creating” the pope
The Catholic Church teaches that truths can be found in other religions. Obviously it’s the Catholic view that Catholicism is the fullness of truth and other religions, although there are truths to be found in them, are not fully true. So I think the question “which religion is true?” Misses the notion that you can land on a religion, still be wrong to an extent, but still be right to an extent.
Truth can be found elsewhere but the fullness of truth is only found in the Catholic Church.
It doesn’t teach that.
@@vincenzobarassi5549 yes it does. Here’s the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
The Church’s bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race:
All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city … * The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as “a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”* In their religious behavior, however, men also display the limits and errors that disfigure the image of God in them:
Very often, deceived by the Evil One, men have become vain in their reasonings, and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and served the creature rather than the Creator. Or else, living and dying in this world without God, they are exposed to ultimate despair.* To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son’s Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is “the world reconciled.” She is that bark which “in the full sail of the Lord’s cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world.” According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah’s ark, which alone saves from the flood.*
“Outside the church, there is no salvation.”
How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?* Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:
Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.* This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:
Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may achieve eternal salvation.* “Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men.”* - I Believe in the Holy Catholic Church, CCC 842-848

The problem with catholism is that you have to go through another human to get to heaven. That's incorrect practice according to bible.
