I meet Him all the time, whenever I attend Holy Mass & receive Holy Communion, or when I am adoring the Blessed Sacrament (It is Christ's Literal Presence) in all the Tabernacles throughout the entire world.
We all need to remember that Jesus before He departed promised that He would have sent another to be with us, that another was the Holy Spirit that if we belief and accept that Jesus was the Son of God and was crucified for our sins, Jesus would continue to dwell with us in the form of the Holy Spirit.
Hey Brothers and Sisters. I'm very excited to follow you from home, here in BURUNDI, AFRICA. May God bless you all for this Job, you're doing. Blessings.
This was so wonderful to hear and be reminded what is coming and why we are here. Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on Earth. I am going to go back and listen to this again to make sure I’ve got it.
Was I sent to the whole world or to certain people, O Jesus? Jesus: He answered and said: I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Matthew 15:24). Ok, why were you sent and what is your message to the Children of Israel for which you came? Jesus: And Joshua answered him, “The first of all the revelations is: Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God is one Lord. (Mark 12:26) Since you say that the Lord is your God, and you are not the Lord, as some say, who are you then? Jesus: I am a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God (John 8:40). And what do you say about those who claim that you are the Lord? Jesus: 22 Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord! Did not in your name prophesy, and in your name we cast out demons, and in your name we did many miracles? 23 Then I will declare to them: I don't know you, wake up! Go to me, you who work iniquity! (Matthew 7:22, 23) But you were saying to God, my father, does this not mean that you are the son of God? Jesus: Joshua said to her: “Do not touch me, for I have not gone to my Father tomorrow. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am most in love with my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.” (John 20:17) There are those who say that you are a god with God, so what do you say? Jesus raises his eyes to heaven, saying, and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. (John 17:3) You are the one who decides because you are responsible for yourself, so search for the correct religion, for it is the way to your salvation. Read, and research it yourself, and be impartial in your search, and do not rely only on what is mentioned in the Bible, your books and your heritage. This is not considered a search for the truth. You may be mistaken in your choice. There is no shame in searching for the truth in more than one way. Here we have shown the way. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers. )The religion with Allah is Islam ( IFLAF.

I must say that Rick Steves did a wonderful job on this video about the Apostle Paul . Along with other very interesting speakers , the journey Paul takes comes to life here . Thanks very much .
@@jrhunter007 What are you talking about John ? With all due respect , I need to point out that the life of Peter and Paul and the journeys they took on behalf of the news about Jesus Christ is historical . Witnessed - documented , and known to be true . Just like the life , death , and resurrection of Jesus is a historical fact , don't dismiss it just because it happened a long time ago .

@Joe Jenkins The Roman Catholic Church consists of the Doctrines of Jesus Christ and became established as the Roman Catholic Church in the 3th century thanks to the Roman emperors who converted from paganism to Christianity after the First Bishop who is St. Peter the Apostle traveled to Rome to Preach the Gospels. St. Paul the Apostle was also in Rome with St. Peter spreading the Holy Gospels and was actually a Roman citizen. The Roman government under Emperor Constantine was the first in the world at that time to legalize Christianity as the official religion of the state. Rome is where Christianity highly flourished since it was legal to practice it.
@@worthwhilediscussion Constantine changed the Sabbath day because he was a sun worshiper, mixed pagan gods and festivals into Christianity such as Christmas and Easter, making the Catholic church the mother of harlots and abominations in the earth, as it says in the book of Revelation.
@Joe Jenkins Wrong. A 4th century Pope (NOT EMPEROR CONSTANTINE) declared Christmas to be celebrated as a commemoration of Jesus' Birth even though the exact day the King was born is unknown.. The Pope declared that it be celebrated on the 25th of December. Also, the Christians who were once pagans used to celebrate their pagan holidays such as worshipping the return of the sun(Spring Equinox), rebirth of life, and worshipping winter solstice but replaced it with Christian meaning. Such as Easter being the celebration of Christ resurrection promising eternal life as opposed to celebrating the goddess of birth or return of the sun. Moreover, Christmas is also celebrated to purposely replace the pagan winter solstice that the Eurooeans once celebrated. The ever green trees and plants you see during Christmas season in Christians' homes are symbolic of ever lasting life with Christ Jesus as opposed to worshipping the winter evergreen tree simply because it has endurance. Plus, the Pope's goal for the Christmas celebration of Christ birth was to overshadow the pagans winter festival and draw them to Christ, with the intent to put the attention on Christ, and it actually worked in converting pagans. Very clever. By the way, both Catholic and Protestants celebrate the glorious Christmas season. So study the facts instead of living as someone pretending to be a so-called Isrealite. Anyone claiming they follow the Lord Jesus and worship Him should celebrate anything related to Him and rejoice. I think it would be more pleasing to God to preach how Christ hated fornication, uncharitable people, liars, adulterers, murderers and people who conceal their sins and preach how to love your neighbor as Christ loved His church. Focus on that because that's what the world is suffering from today.
It was Jesus working through Paul. So it wasn't Paul's wisdom or knowledge or strength but it was God's grace working through Paul. Please remember that and give glory to God
How ridiculous. So is "God" responsible for all the errors, discrepancies and BS? And what of the forged letters that most Biblical scholars agree to? Did a god work through the forgers? Anyone who still believes the myths of the Bible are true needs to get real... if you can.
Nor did i go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me but i went to Arabia and Returned again to Damascus: Thank you Rick.. for sharing this Story..well done 😇 💙🙏🙏
Yes it is true that he did meet Jesus.. Though this has a statement claiming he probably never met him. Jesus Christ set his apostles apart through the laying on of hands and giving them his holy. Melchizedek priesthood.!
Paul allowed himself to be used through the voice of God and Holy Spirit on the Road of Damascus. How many today are brave enough to suffer for the sake of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? What are you hearing in your heart?? Be still, really be still and hear the voice of Holy Spirit. We are here to be Servants in the KINGDOM OF GOD. Just do it and Holy Spirit will guide you. Peace and Blessings and Long Life.
Life? What life? Is there any life thats not in him! Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. Your comment lowered my fear and strengthend my resolve some. Thanks!
MOM As a 5 year old, I aked my Mom what "religion" we were because someone had asked me. A PAULINE Catholic she answered. I still remember her emphasis on that word, 70 years later.
There's a lot to, unpack about your religion, but I'll try to keep it simple and short.. If you pray to our father in heaven, who gave us his only son Jesus to die on the cross so we may have life in heaven, as well as God's Holy spirit; you're not a Pauline catholic but a Christian! You, do not want to be known as a catholic and you surely don't pray to Paul! It's idolic to call a paganic religion as Paul's! Research this if you don't trust my words so you can see the truth for yourself (please do)!
@@Leon-Servant-of-Christ No one asked you. How dare you tell her what faith she does or does not want to be known as. There is a lot to unpack about your narcissism.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Beloved and Blessed Jesus son of Mary was a 1st century Jew a Jewish Rabi and taught Judaism the right way . Excising the greed away , tending to needy and showed true brotherly love . One living God and one human race / family . Plain and Simple.
Muhammad was an imposter criminal pervert not a prophet of anyone or anything...allah is not anyones god of anything....Jesus is son of God and word of God...through whom the father created everything visible and invisible.
It was Paul's writing and more importantly God's inspiration that gave the qualifications for a Pastor. Which qualifications Susan just steps over in order to fullfil her will!
@@priscilla4221, you might try looking at the Didache. It is a early religious text that serves as a format on how the church should operate, it is written by 2 generation disciples around 75 - 80 C.E. One of the items that it addresses is baptism. They recognize that there are many ways of baptism, the first being "living water" which would be a moving stream or such. But the authors also recognize that living waters are not always available. What this illustrates is that it is not about the state of the water; whether it is moving or placid. Instead, it is about who is within the water, meaning God. We invite God into the water and the activity of baptism. Also, we honor God in this act as we are told to go forth and baptize. Note, Jesus didn't say how the baptism should take place, just that we be baptized. We have to recognize that the state of the water is not going to stop God from being in the middle of the act, if we presume to say, "God can't," then we put limits on God... are we so bold to presume that? In the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy, "Get her done." I pose this scenario, what of a child born in a hospital that is not expected to survive the night, are we to say that they are not worthy of God's grace as given through baptism? We need to be very careful in how we seek to restrict that which God gives freely.
@@Jay-kw2kb, no, I am not. Jesus Christ and our believing into him is the path of salvation. However, Jesus, in Matthew, told us to go forth and baptize "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus did not mandate that manner in which it was to happen, just that they baptize.
@Rusty Kehl 1 Peter 3:21 "and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.."
father tells us to honour no man on earth (remember they were much more spiritual at that time) and another scripture tells about who is in which service...the prideful the least esteemed and the lesser more...so i am thinking the rock was the faith peter had in immediately confessing the savior was the son of our spiritual father in heaven...he had no doubt at all...the savior makes us know he ordained who and for what...like paul was ordained for us this day...and it would make more sense to build the house (it is the house of...man made it church) on faith rather than a certain person to be above all the others...he says we are equal...we are one body...one fellowship with no division...

There's many other little topics in here that the Bible project xpands on if anyone's Interested. I want those people that just can't get enough of the stories in the Bible. I enjoyed the Shakespearean song of the King James Bible I also believe it to be the word of God preserved. I let Bible scholars prove this not I myself
Matthew Chapter 7 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
@Fight the good fight of faith ministries Jesus said: Matthew 7:21 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. Jesus also said: JOHN 6:53-55 53. So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have NO life in you; 54. he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has Eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. For my flesh is FOOD INDEED, and my blood is drink indeed. These are the two commands: "Unless you eat and drink" How are you supposed to carry out such order from our Lord? He shows you in: ▪︎LUKE 22:19-20 19. And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “THIS IS MY BODY which is given for you; *DO THIS in remembrance of Me.” 20. And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD. That peactice has been actively repeated for 2,000 years in the Catholic Church. God bless.
At 3:57 they state that Paul probably never met Jesus! Have they not read the New Testament! Paul meets the risen Lord on the road to Damascus That was his conversion. I stopped watching after that statement.
Paul DID see Jesus. On the road to Damascus. He was a " chosen vessel" . Hand picked by Jesus Himself. Just like the other Apostles. PAUL was an eye witness of the resurrected CHRIST. IT IS NOT IN HIS MIND. It was not a feeling. He gad actual discourse with the resurrected Christ. PAUL was the last personally called apostle.
I concur! Peter walked with Christ in the flesh. Paul encountered (and engaged with) Christ in the Spirit. Although initially in different forms...both met and grew to know Jesus Christ. To know our Lord...what a wonderful thing it is!
And STILL men and women of God continue to do! I read the word and can see and hear where I fit in I don’t read the word and wonder where I fit in! I identify with those who have gone before me! This IS the Kingdom of God
@@e.s.7520 Amazing. Yea because since Peter actually met him in flesh and Paul didnt, then Peter wouldve known if he was faking knowing and having spoken with Jesus one would imagine.
I don’t think Saul really met Yeshua. Given the fact that according to the Jewish Historian Josephus Saul was seen leading a Mob in Jericho a month after his supposedly transformation in killing two members of the Way. Just like old times. And the leaders of the early church despised Saul and Saul reciprocated those feelings. Because Saul did his own thing with the Gentiles. Saul never followed any directives from James, Peter and John.
Jesus came down as man and HE did so many miracle which only God can do as understood by the High priest and written in the old testament. Yet many did not proclaim Him as God. Paul did miracle in Jesus name they say he is God ????.
there was no actual wind nor actual fire on the day of Pentecost..but Acts says there came a sound like a mighty wind and tongues like as fire appeared ..the whole event was beyond words so similies were used to describe it

it's true it was The Holy Spirit! , through Paul. La Fe y obediencia a DIOS, no es religion es una relacion personal con EL atravez de SU Santo ESPIRITU
@Silvia Valenzuela Silvia, No deberías repetir tan ilógica y contradictoria frase. Debes saber que tal expresuón fue creada como objeción, sin tomar conciencia de su verdadero significado. Jesús, quien pertenecía a la religión judía, edifica una Sola Iglesia de la cual emana su nueva Religión. Es necesario aclarar que los católicos tenemos una buena Religión porque la funda Jesucristo y por ello cuando un católico dice que es religioso, sólo expresa que tiene una muy buena RELACIÓN con Dios. La palabra Religión se origina del latín y esta es su etimología: RE, indica intensidad. LIGARE es amarrar IÓN indica acción y efecto. O sea es: ▪︎Acción y efecto de ligarse fuertemente con Dios. En términos específicos, significa tener una íntima, fuerte y constante relación con Dios. Por eso el Evangelio citado por la Biblia de Jerusalén dice en: ▪︎JUAN 9:31 31. Sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores; mas, si uno es RELIGIOSO y cumple su voluntad, a ése le escucha. Este pasaje narra la forma en como el ciego refuta a los fariseos que no se explicaban como pudo haber sido sanado por Jesús. Cuando los fariseos le insultan, él les da a entender que si Cristo lo sanó es porque Dios le escuchaba. Lo mismo Pablo, en sus dificultades con los judíos, dice la Biblia que fue perseguido por "SU RELIGIÓN". ▪︎HECHOS 25,19 19. solamente tenían contra él unas discusiones sobre su propia RELIGIÓN y sobre un tal Jesús, ya muerto, de quien Pablo afirma que vive. Muchos pretenden decir que no tienen religión. Yo pregunto: ¿Acaso Pablo no era cristiano? La Biblia dice claramente que Pablo tenía "RELIGIÓN" y si era perseguido por ella, ¿por qué algunos como tú buscan huir de esa palabra? Debes saber que la Biblia misma informa que Pablo había sido fariseo y que él afirma que el judaísmo era "su religión": ▪︎HECHOS 26:5 5. Ellos me conocen de mucho tiempo atrás y si quieren pueden testificar que yo he vivido como fariseo conforme a la secta más estricta de NUESTRA RELIGIÓN. Importante notar que no dice que ya no es su RELIGIÓN, porque Pablo habla de "NUESTRA RELIGIÓN" implicando que la considera suya también. Recuerda, el judaísmo fue una vez la religión verdadera, que ahora llegaba a su plenitud con Jesús. Es obvio que Pablo no cambió de Dios, sino que le conoció en plenitud por la revelación de Jesucristo. Uno de los pasajes más contundentes que menciona la controvertida palabra "Religión", es el siguiente: SANTIAGO 1:26-27 26. Si alguno se cree religioso, pero no pone freno a su lengua, sino que engaña a su propio corazón, su religión es vana. 27. La RELIGIÓN pura e intachable ante Dios Padre es ésta: visitar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en su tribulación y conservarse incontaminado del mundo. El pasaje NO dice que la RELIGIÓN es mala, o que el cristiano no tiene religión, sino que hay una "RELIGIÓN pura e intachable ante Dios Padre". Nuestra RELIGIÓN se caracteriza principalmente en que se vive desde el interior, no con cumplimiento de preceptos, sino impregnada de una FE viva que se manifiesta en obras, en caridad para los necesitados y en mantener una vida limpia de pecado. Honrando de tal forma a Dios, nuestro Creador y Salvador. Que Dios bendiga tu discernimiento.
Paul died by decapitation. His body is located at the Church of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome. His Head is located at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. God bless.
It is a statement you said that Paul didn’t meet him. When he clearly met him on the road to Damascus??? Where he is blinded? And the question he asks “Who are you Lord? To say he didn’t meet him…..
Peter is not the Rock. Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Messiah. "On Christ the solid Rock." MY faith is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness."
Peter is the Rock. Jesus obviously stated it. Read and reflect on this. Matthew 16:17-18- And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
@@robertagabor3736 Hello, brethren in Christ. Peter is obviously the rock. You can search up that the name Peter means rock in Greek or Hebrew (Cephas). The logic in the mentioned is obvious also.
@@robertagabor3736 Peter is a common masculine given name. It is derived from Greek Πέτρος, Petros (an invented, masculine form of Greek petra, the word for "rock" or "stone"), which itself was a translation of Aramaic Kefa ("stone, rock"), the nickname Jesus gave to apostle Simon Bar-Jona. Jesus surely wouldn't give Peter that name if he isn't the rock. Peace and God's blessing be with us
@@ite_ad_iosep Yeshua didn't say , Peter You are the Rock! HE said "On this Rock I built the Church!" He wasn't talking about Any particular Church, but a Church that builds on Messiah Yeshua!!
Why? Rick Steves has no real Biblical understanding or authority to expound on Paul or any Biblical prophet. He uses a worldly focus and understanding. He lost me at "Paul probably never met Christ. He had a vision that he 'thought' was Christ." Hogwash.
By the way, the word "satan", when referring to Peter, means "the opposer". Jesus wasn't referring to his chosen Apostle as his "Adversary", which is the other meaning of the word "Satan". God bless.
As a student of the KJV Bible, why is Vision Video advancing false New Testament heresies that circumcised Jewish Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) ever became a “Christian”? It was Gentiles, who first called disciples “Christians” in Antioch. (Acts 11:26). Instead, Paul emphatically called himself a “Hebrew of the Hebrews,” a “Pharisee,” “of the tribe of Benjamin” (Philippians 3:5), and an “Israelite, of the seed of Abraham” (Romans 11:1). Further, Paul never renounced the law (Torah), but said the “law is holy,” and the “commandment holy, and just, and good.” (Rom. 7:12). He also said “the law is not made for a righteous man,” but for the “lawless,” disobedient,” “ungodly,” “sinners,” “unholy,” “profane,” “murderers,” “whoremongers,” “menstealers,” and “liars,” etc. (I Timothy 9,10, in part). Because Paul also wrote: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23), every soul on earth today needs the Torah law to teach Jews and Gentiles how to walk on a path of righteousness before the Almighty Holy God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of the Bible. Indeed, Paul warned; “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” (I Corinthians 6:9). Lastly, Paul clearly said . . . “so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.” (Acts 24:14). This Vision Video (“Lives of the Apostles Paul and Peter”) epitomizes why Paul strongly rebuked “vain jangling.” He said “some” had “swerved” and “turned aside unto vain jangling” . . . “Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” (I Tim. 6,7).
St. Paul became a follower of Christ, led by the Holy Ghost and became an Apostle ordained by St. Peter the Rock. The fact is, if someone claims to be a follower of Christ Jesus, who is Lord, then they would be called a Christian. The name Christian is just labeling someone or a group as followers of Lord Jesus Christ. If someone follows Christ, I don't think they should get offended when being called a Christian. Also, about the old testament Patriarchs such as Abraham. I think you should re-read St. John 8. Discern and meditate on that chapter. And Afterwards, you may be glad when someone calls you a Christian. BHI is okay, but Christian is showing no fear or hesitation of being a follower of the Lord of Lord's and King of Kings. And see if you can get your hands on the original Bible text, which was written in Greek. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian clergy ONLY uses the original language in which the Bible was written which is Greek. KJV have strange translations and I learned there were some editing of scriptures too. This version of the bible originated from the protestant Church of England published in 1611. God be with us all✝️
Why would people, that is you, say something like Paul probably never met Yashua? You said Jesus a name He was never known by in His life. Is it because they don't see that as possable? The risen king? The one that was dead but now lives, the one that came to the apostles time and again after the resurrection? The entire reason for Christianity? Why? If you can say a thing like that, I assume you have never encountered our Lord either? In which case why call yourself a Cristian; so many today hear an argument, believe it and say now I'm saved......now I am in a relationship with God? Saul set out to destroy the witnesses of our Lord it was meeting Him that turned Paul's life around, so why say he probably never met Yashua? How would he become the witness he was? The implication is he just made it all up .... he gave us his personal opinion? I think if you thought this through it would not have been said and TBH I wish people would think before speaking.
Man's problem comes from Adam, God said he already prepared the lamb slain from before the Foundation of the World to be the propitiation for all . Jesus did all the works no man could do... completely fullfiled the full weight of the law ( not just 10 commandments but 600+, 24/7 in every possible way in being) God used willing hearts of men that believed the gospel because they saw the Son themselves. And Yahuah by His spirit sent His Holy Spirit and strengthened those men and spoke into them and THEY WROTE!!!! THANKS BE TO GOD Yahuah The Heavenly Father of all who believe on Him by Christ Jesus.
Why would be why would there be more than one God If thy father speaks as all people on Earth he does love cuz that's what he has spoken us and Heaven back to me spoke with me that he loved all vacation and all people and I all are welcomed in his heaven
1. Part B 4 Truly, God the Father has bought you, is your desire to be a willing participant in the transaction? Friends, let us transform this transaction into genuine practical, tangible results. The transaction proceeds, purchasing us with blood, the life of His Son. Surprisingly, He paid an exorbitant price for us, talk about inflation. No one prompted God, the rescue was His idea. The rebel leader will cause his own annihilation, his followers shall share the same fate. But no, God says the cases are not the same, mankind fell by trickery into rebellion. A decision for God takes place, while chains of evil manners still linger; He accepts us fully into His family, at this point nothing has changed, the chains still bind us to sinful habits. Whose are we at this point in time? God our Father has shown His will on that subject by paying the price for our freedom. And when we publish our will on the subject by saying, "Lord, that is my choice, too; the direction of my future focuses on you.” The question lingers, how in the universe is anything able to preclude us from growing up into a child of God all mighty? OK, so you still have faults, if you have children or even friends, have they, faults? Yet they remain your children and friends. Matthew7:11 God’s word is assurance, He has adopted you into the Heavenly family, nothing can terminate that family relation except you. During WWII under interrogation having fingernails pulled out a young native Christian man answered, “Seven-day boy no tell.” Such loyalty is the manner of heavenly family members, likewise God himself, I John 1:9 God is faithful and just. Suppose you awake in the morning, after a poor night’s sleep with a headache, and indigestion, fearing Omicron just attacked. Is there assurance of being a son or daughter? How to know you are to wear a mask, the president spoke, “Wear one.” Conversely, suppose you awake in the morning bright and shinning, exuberant with energy, hilariously smiling for ear to ear, Is there assurance of being a son or daughter? You believe what minor authorities say, why not believe what the major authority says? Sometimes people answer when asked, "Are your sins forgiven?" "Yes, ayah, convinced for a period of time." "What convinced about forgiveness in the first place?" "I felt as though they were forgiven." Was there even a particle of evidence concerning forgiveness? Honorable, brothers and sisters, the only evidence available is God’s word. Evidence established requires a minimum of two witnesses. Deuteronomy 17:15 If needed, God can sound like a thousand witnesses. Put feelings in their place. Feelings are as variable as the wind. Never pay a speck of attention to them. Feelings fluctuate and food, sounds, or a nightmare influence the effect. Enjoy invigorating feelings, eliminate depressing ones. Everything in our individuality is part of God’s creation, feeling, and emotion are part of our total being, but they are not brains. When God declared, “Let there be light.” Light immediately appeared. When God declares, “I forgive Your sins,” who is there to protest. Sins are not observable as light, apparently, the proof is lacking, but God spoke in both cases, they are both true and trustworthy. On a sunny day try proclaiming there is no light. Hope you are comfortable in your padded cell. Many, experience immediate freedom from addictions they know are harmful, however, the cleansing process continues for our entire life, believe, this takes elbow grease type spring cleaning. Twice two is four. At some point you did not know that fact, but when 2+2=4 came to light, you were as jubilant as if Einstein had just explained the theory of relativity. Did the victorious feelings cause the calculation to be correct? Now that is not saying that there will be no experience as the fruit of this, but it is saying that if serious disappointment could result. I just love that 2+3= 6, I feel so warm and friendly about it, it has to be correct. Counting on feelings as evidence, will ever end in disappointment, but probing in the word of God reveals all the proof needed, accompanied by exuberant feelings. Divine power is divinely speaking, effectively working in the person who believes.
Peter and Paul separated gospel in.. Galatians 2 : 7.. his accusations ..Acts 21: 21.. / Titus 1 : 10...

What part does Mary and the pope have in Pauls and Peters ministry. Do catholics not bow down to and kiss the feet of Mary, why do you kiss the hands of catholic priests whom you call father ?
We venerate their existence. We kiss, we give honor for living their holy lives. But we DO NOT WORSHIP them, nor the statues they represent. We are sane, we know what we're doing. The way we call the priests father doesn't equal to that of God's title, please. God's title as Father means you rely to Him on everything, you rely on His Divine providence as the Father. The way we call the priests father just simply means they're spiritual leaders chosen by God. You took the verse literally, will God be mad if your call your Dad "Father"? If God is really mad on the Catholics, he wouldn't have let the Church stand for 2000 years. God bless
@@ite_ad_iosep The Catholic church is the epitome if idol/paganworship. When I went to the Vatican, I saw that it is full of statues that I saw people kiss and rub and bow before. It is clearly stated in the 10 Commandments " And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ... The Catholic verses conveniently deleted this Commandment from their Cannon. Creating, praying, bowing before, and rubbing and kissing the hands of Popes/bishops, etc. and of carved images/statues are considered "worship" and God forbids it. Praying to Mary and prayers for the dead are also expressly forbidden by God. When He said to call no man "Father" because He is your Father, he was not referring to your parent. If He were referring to your parent,the Bible would not be full of begots and the Father of's. It's concerning that you would try and manipulate the scriptures that way. The Pharisees constantly tried to manipulate the scriptures as you seem to also be doing and Jesus reprimanded them and shut them down. When one is filled with the Holy Spirit, that Spirit...Jesus ...said, will lead us into all TRUTH. You must read the real bible scriptures for yourself so that you will not be lead astray because we are nearing "The End of the Age" and Jesus will return. Those who remain deceived will be lost.
BAD BLOOD The original Jerusalem faction, headed by James, stayed upset and/ or furious with him, they were a strictly "Jewish" faith , I was taught. They sent spies to observe and report back, and his irregular visits were replete with admonishments, blandishments, heated arguments and serious questions regarding his creative monies collection and "accounting" methods.
Why can't Peter's confession mean both? Why do so many faith traditions paint themselves into a corner of one or the other? Same thing with science, it and faith do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Sorry, but it's not scriptural for a woman to be a pastor. There was one woman, Debra which was a judge in the old testament. These comparisons are two different things!
Then after that, Paul met Peter and other Apostles as well as James the brother of Jesus. Galatians 1:18-19 18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days. 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
Paul lacked the authority to change times and laws. As 2 Peter 3:15-16 says 15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
The concept of Peter being the first Pope doesn't fit well with the Scriptures in my opinion Peter was married unlike the unmarried papacy Peter being Jewish might not have been praying to so-called dead saints - that would be idolatry Peter emphasised preaching Jesus and calling people to salvation The mixing of Roman traditional rites in the Church associated with Rome might have come at a later stage especially since Christianity was the main religion in the empire.
Christ told all His Apostles that if they want to follow Him they have to deny themselves. Peter left his wife and family behind for the Lord and that's why I love Catholic and Orthodox Bishops and Priest because they follow Jesus' orders. How many men will do that? Luke 14:26 "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." LUKE 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God." MATTHEW 19:29 "And everyone that hath forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life."
In the old testament and in Revelations talks about how the Saints are praying for us on earth since the earth is actually damned in a sense. So, asking the Saints who were devoted to Jesus, was martyred for preaching the Gospels' experience horrible deaths for being Christian is acceptable. Read and meditate on scripture.
@@worthwhilediscussion Hi thanks for your reply. I note your points put forth. While it is true that the Disciples received that instruction when following Christ, it is equally true for ANY person who follows Jesus. However, the Bible does not mention that Peter left his wife to follow this command. Instead, Peter was still married even when Jesus had already ascended to heaven after his death. How do I know this? Apostle Paul (commissioned by Jesus after his ascension) writes the Corinthian believers about his voluntary denial of the privileges of the Apostolic Office including getting a believing wife as Peter himself and OTHER APOSTLES did as part of their ministry "Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?" (1 Cor 9:5) So it was not a requirement that the Apostle Peter himself and others would remain celibate to serve God. However there are those who chose to remain celibate (Matth 19:12) for the sake of God but it wasn't in the case of Peter, unfortunately. Concerning the saints, ALL believers are saints and there is only one mediator between man and God, the man Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:5) Shalom
@Gistone Walusiku At the time when Jesus was still physically with His Apostles, He specifically told them what they need to do if they want to follow Him and to take up their cross. Please stop trying to fit personal narratives and desires into Christ's teachings. Don't create unnecessary heresies. I gave proof of what EXACTLY the Lord said in scripture in the previous comment. If you argue with me, you're arguing with Christ, actually--not me. God bless you.
@@worthwhilediscussion Those are not heresies. In the spirit of timidness, I am not even arguing with you my brother/sister but pointing you to what the HOLY SCRIPTURES say about Peter and the so-called dead saints some people pray to. Saints are dead and they will NEVER be a medium for prayer. Sorry, but this is the truth! No dead man or woman plays a mediator role in biblical understanding. Jesus is the only High Priest and every Christian has the privilege to access him anywhere at any time. No wonder he sits on the right hand of God interceding for his children. "It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, WHO ALSO MAKES INTERCESSION for us" (Rom 8:34) Now, about Peter; Scripture does not even state whether he divorced his wife. Actually, even after his commission, Peter was still married and even his mother in law was healed by the Lord Jesus.. "Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them" (Matthew 8:14) How about after the Ascension of the Lord Jesus? He was married still. At the time Apostle Paul was writing 1 Corinthians, Peter was still married even after Jesus had already ascended to heaven. "Do we have no right to take along a BELIEVING WIFE, as do also the OTHER APOSTLES, the BROTHERS OF THE LORD and Cephas ?" (1 Cor 9:5). From this verse, you can still deduce that Peter as well as other apostles who were commissioned were married. God bless you
@Genesis 12:3, Divine Oath to Abraham. The sincerity of God in the Genesis 12:3 promises given to Abraham for the benefit of all mankind, beginning first with the Jews and then to the Gentiles, as noted of God's faithfulness: where it's again spoken in Genesis 18:18, Gen. 22:18, Gen. 26:4, Gen. 27:29, and Genesis 28:14. And also mentioned in Numbers 24:9, some 800 hundred years later after the death of Abraham, when that greedy man named Balaam voiced God's promise in the wilderness. More explicitly, Jeremiah in 610 b.c. had it recorded in verse 4:2 despite the Babylonian seize. 1900 centuries ago unto now, Peter addressed the crowd at the gate of Beautiful in Acts 3:25. And Paul preached it in 62 a.d. while admonishing the bewitched Galatians in verse 3:8. But then in 1983, with much persecution and controversy from his own, the late great Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews Organization, began proclaiming his ministry to all mankind, and the rest is history. Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein's earnest endeavor has made Genesis 12:3 and the Isaiah 58 promises a beacon in the reality of God's word of truth that's now and forever blessing those that bless Israel today. Paslms 112:9. Rabbi Eckstein's success under scores God's faithfulness until there are a host of legally registered Jewish Organizations who compliment the Humanitarian words of Genesis 12:3 in services to all the world whether they be friend or foe as God had promised in times passed, " in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. " Ecclesiastes 11:1,2. & Luke 6:38.
"There's a lot of things said about Peter that I would edit out" Seriously dude? I hope you had nothing to do with anything biblical. Christ is the true Rock, He was the rock in the desert in Exodus, He's the Chief cornerstone of our faith. What if Christ was referring to Himself? Either way, the church is not our model of perfection, yet by the time Christ has finished with us, 'she' will be; perfect that is, through His blood & sanctification by the Holy Spirit.
Please read, and comprehend. Matthew 16:17-19- And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Jesus referred Peter as the rock, this is obvious. Please read the whole context, not just one verse. Be not selective just to satisfy your own belief. Also, the name “Peter” comes from the Greek word for “rock.” Jesus makes him the foundation on which the church is to be built. God bless us all.
I long to meet Jesus in person. All Praise and Glory to our King Jesus. 🔥🙏🔥🙏
I meet Him all the time, whenever I attend Holy Mass & receive Holy Communion, or when I am adoring the Blessed Sacrament (It is Christ's Literal Presence) in all the Tabernacles throughout the entire world.

This was so wonderful to hear and be reminded what is coming and why we are here. Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on Earth. I am going to go back and listen to this again to make sure I’ve got it.
Was I sent to the whole world or to certain people, O Jesus?
Jesus: He answered and said: I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Matthew 15:24). Ok, why were you sent and what is your message to the Children of Israel for which you came? Jesus: And Joshua answered him, “The first of all the revelations is: Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God is one Lord. (Mark 12:26) Since you say that the Lord is your God, and you are not the Lord, as some say, who are you then?
Jesus: I am a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God (John 8:40).
And what do you say about those who claim that you are the Lord?
Jesus: 22 Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord! Did not in your name prophesy, and in your name we cast out demons, and in your name we did many miracles? 23 Then I will declare to them: I don't know you, wake up! Go to me, you who work iniquity! (Matthew 7:22, 23)
But you were saying to God, my father, does this not mean that you are the son of God?
Jesus: Joshua said to her: “Do not touch me, for I have not gone to my Father tomorrow. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am most in love with my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.” (John 20:17)
There are those who say that you are a god with God, so what do you say?
Jesus raises his eyes to heaven, saying, and this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent. (John 17:3)
You are the one who decides because you are responsible for yourself, so search for the correct religion, for it is the way to your salvation. Read, and research it yourself, and be impartial in your search, and do not rely only on what is mentioned in the Bible, your books and your heritage. This is not considered a search for the truth. You may be mistaken in your choice. There is no shame in searching for the truth in more than one way. Here we have shown the way.
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers.

Jesus change Paul Paul takes the word of God to all people Paul was a great man of God
Paul wrote a lot of lies as well to benefit the Roman/catholic
@@mikelatu5155 Paul lived before there was a Roman Catholic Church.
@Joe Jenkins The Roman Catholic Church consists of the Doctrines of Jesus Christ and became established as the Roman Catholic Church in the 3th century thanks to the Roman emperors who converted from paganism to Christianity after the First Bishop who is St. Peter the Apostle traveled to Rome to Preach the Gospels. St. Paul the Apostle was also in Rome with St. Peter spreading the Holy Gospels and was actually a Roman citizen. The Roman government under Emperor Constantine was the first in the world at that time to legalize Christianity as the official religion of the state. Rome is where Christianity highly flourished since it was legal to practice it.
@@worthwhilediscussion Constantine changed the Sabbath day because he was a sun worshiper, mixed pagan gods and festivals into Christianity such as Christmas and Easter, making the Catholic church the mother of harlots and abominations in the earth, as it says in the book of Revelation.
@Joe Jenkins Wrong. A 4th century Pope (NOT EMPEROR CONSTANTINE) declared Christmas to be celebrated as a commemoration of Jesus' Birth even though the exact day the King was born is unknown.. The Pope declared that it be celebrated on the 25th of December. Also, the Christians who were once pagans used to celebrate their pagan holidays such as worshipping the return of the sun(Spring Equinox), rebirth of life, and worshipping winter solstice but replaced it with Christian meaning. Such as Easter being the celebration of Christ resurrection promising eternal life as opposed to celebrating the goddess of birth or return of the sun. Moreover, Christmas is also celebrated to purposely replace the pagan winter solstice that the Eurooeans once celebrated. The ever green trees and plants you see during Christmas season in Christians' homes are symbolic of ever lasting life with Christ Jesus as opposed to worshipping the winter evergreen tree simply because it has endurance. Plus, the Pope's goal for the Christmas celebration of Christ birth was to overshadow the pagans winter festival and draw them to Christ, with the intent to put the attention on Christ, and it actually worked in converting pagans. Very clever. By the way, both Catholic and Protestants celebrate the glorious Christmas season. So study the facts instead of living as someone pretending to be a so-called Isrealite. Anyone claiming they follow the Lord Jesus and worship Him should celebrate anything related to Him and rejoice. I think it would be more pleasing to God to preach how Christ hated fornication, uncharitable people, liars, adulterers, murderers and people who conceal their sins and preach how to love your neighbor as Christ loved His church. Focus on that because that's what the world is suffering from today.
It was Jesus working through Paul. So it wasn't Paul's wisdom or knowledge or strength but it was God's grace working through Paul. Please remember that and give glory to God
TRUE statement. Very TRUE statement. God works well through people.
How ridiculous. So is "God" responsible for all the errors, discrepancies and BS? And what of the forged letters that most Biblical scholars agree to? Did a god work through the forgers? Anyone who still believes the myths of the Bible are true needs to get real... if you can.

there was no sprinkling for baptism if you look to the scriptures. It was immersion
Paul the Apostle movie that came out in 2018 is excellent! I think Rick Steves would enjoy it very much
@@priscilla4221, you might try looking at the Didache. It is a early religious text that serves as a format on how the church should operate, it is written by 2 generation disciples around 75 - 80 C.E. One of the items that it addresses is baptism. They recognize that there are many ways of baptism, the first being "living water" which would be a moving stream or such. But the authors also recognize that living waters are not always available. What this illustrates is that it is not about the state of the water; whether it is moving or placid. Instead, it is about who is within the water, meaning God. We invite God into the water and the activity of baptism. Also, we honor God in this act as we are told to go forth and baptize. Note, Jesus didn't say how the baptism should take place, just that we be baptized. We have to recognize that the state of the water is not going to stop God from being in the middle of the act, if we presume to say, "God can't," then we put limits on God... are we so bold to presume that? In the immortal words of Larry the Cable Guy, "Get her done."
I pose this scenario, what of a child born in a hospital that is not expected to survive the night, are we to say that they are not worthy of God's grace as given through baptism? We need to be very careful in how we seek to restrict that which God gives freely.
@@rustykehl4481 Are you saying that baptism is salvation?
@@Jay-kw2kb, no, I am not. Jesus Christ and our believing into him is the path of salvation. However, Jesus, in Matthew, told us to go forth and baptize "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus did not mandate that manner in which it was to happen, just that they baptize.
@Rusty Kehl
1 Peter 3:21 "and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.."
father tells us to honour no man on earth (remember they were much more spiritual at that time) and another scripture tells about who is in which service...the prideful the least esteemed and the lesser more...so i am thinking the rock was the faith peter had in immediately confessing the savior was the son of our spiritual father in heaven...he had no doubt at all...the savior makes us know he ordained who and for what...like paul was ordained for us this day...and it would make more sense to build the house (it is the house of...man made it church) on faith rather than a certain person to be above all the others...he says we are equal...we are one body...one fellowship with no division...

21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

@Fight the good fight of faith ministries
Jesus said:
Matthew 7:21
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.
Jesus also said:
JOHN 6:53-55
53. So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have NO life in you;
54. he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has Eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
55. For my flesh is FOOD INDEED, and my blood is drink indeed.
These are the two commands:
"Unless you eat and drink"
How are you supposed to carry out such order from our Lord?
He shows you in:
▪︎LUKE 22:19-20
19. And when He had taken some
bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “THIS IS MY BODY which is given for you; *DO THIS in remembrance of Me.”
20. And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying,
“This cup which is poured out for you IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD.
That peactice has been actively repeated for 2,000 years in the Catholic Church.

Paul DID see Jesus. On the road to Damascus. He was a " chosen vessel" . Hand picked by Jesus Himself. Just like the other Apostles. PAUL was an eye witness of the resurrected CHRIST.
IT IS NOT IN HIS MIND. It was not a feeling. He gad actual discourse with the resurrected Christ.
PAUL was the last personally called apostle.
I concur!
Peter walked with Christ in the flesh. Paul encountered (and engaged with) Christ in the Spirit. Although initially in different forms...both met and grew to know Jesus Christ.
To know our Lord...what a wonderful thing it is!
Paul saw jesus as a vision in the sky. No a physical being he could touch.
And STILL men and women of God continue to do!
I read the word and can see and hear where I fit in
I don’t read the word and wonder where I fit in!
I identify with those who have gone before me!
This IS the Kingdom of God
@@e.s.7520 Amazing. Yea because since Peter actually met him in flesh and Paul didnt, then Peter wouldve known if he was faking knowing and having spoken with Jesus one would imagine.
St. Petrus and St. Paulus ☦️✝️🙏
Paul was Apostle cuz he did see Christ on the road to Damascus and he was called to do what he was doing to the Gentiles
If you think that Paul never met Jesus then you just need to read of the bible.
I don’t think Saul really met Yeshua. Given the fact that according to the Jewish Historian Josephus Saul was seen leading a Mob in Jericho a month after his supposedly transformation in killing two members of the Way. Just like old times. And the leaders of the early church despised Saul and Saul reciprocated those feelings. Because Saul did his own thing with the Gentiles. Saul never followed any directives from James, Peter and John.
I’m the commandments are there to remind us of how sinful we are. A covenant that no ordinary man can keep all the time. Only one Man did
Jesus came down as man and HE did so many miracle which only God can do as understood by the High priest and written in the old testament. Yet many did not proclaim Him as God. Paul did miracle in Jesus name they say he is God ????.
Peter is my favourite Apostles .A pleasant but thin presentation.
Jesus founded Christianity and Paul marketed it to the known world✝️⛪👼🕊️
Im a Christian do not forget
there was no actual wind nor actual fire on the day of Pentecost..but Acts says there came a sound like a mighty wind and tongues like as fire appeared ..the whole event was beyond words so similies were used to describe it
Very good video peace be with you and your family follow to the commandments of God and Jesus Christ to overcome sin and death and evil devil Satan minister of God from Abraham peace project pakistan thank you for sharing
Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus.
It is for Jesus not against Him
it's true it was The Holy Spirit! , through Paul. La Fe y obediencia a DIOS, no es religion es una relacion personal con EL atravez de SU Santo ESPIRITU
@Silvia Valenzuela
Silvia,
No deberías repetir tan ilógica y contradictoria frase. Debes saber que tal expresuón fue creada como objeción, sin tomar conciencia de su verdadero significado.
Jesús, quien pertenecía a la religión judía, edifica una Sola Iglesia de la cual emana su nueva Religión.
Es necesario aclarar que los católicos tenemos una buena Religión porque la funda Jesucristo y por ello cuando un católico dice que es religioso, sólo expresa que tiene una muy buena RELACIÓN con Dios.
La palabra Religión se origina del latín y esta es su etimología:
RE, indica intensidad.
LIGARE es amarrar
IÓN indica acción y efecto.
O sea es:
▪︎Acción y efecto de ligarse fuertemente con Dios.
En términos específicos, significa tener una íntima, fuerte y constante relación con Dios.
Por eso el Evangelio citado por la Biblia de Jerusalén dice en:
▪︎JUAN 9:31
31. Sabemos que Dios no escucha a los pecadores; mas, si uno es RELIGIOSO y cumple su voluntad, a ése le escucha.
Este pasaje narra la forma en como el ciego refuta a los fariseos que no se explicaban como pudo haber sido sanado por Jesús. Cuando los fariseos le insultan, él les da a entender que si Cristo lo sanó es porque Dios le escuchaba.
Lo mismo Pablo, en sus dificultades con los judíos, dice la Biblia que fue perseguido por "SU RELIGIÓN".
▪︎HECHOS 25,19
19. solamente tenían contra él unas discusiones sobre su propia RELIGIÓN y sobre un tal Jesús, ya muerto, de quien Pablo afirma que vive.
Muchos pretenden decir que no tienen religión. Yo pregunto: ¿Acaso Pablo no era cristiano?
La Biblia dice claramente que Pablo tenía "RELIGIÓN" y si era perseguido por ella, ¿por qué algunos como tú buscan huir de esa palabra?
Debes saber que la Biblia misma informa que Pablo había sido fariseo y que él afirma que el judaísmo era "su religión":
▪︎HECHOS 26:5
5. Ellos me conocen de mucho tiempo atrás y si quieren pueden testificar que yo he vivido como fariseo conforme a la secta más estricta de NUESTRA RELIGIÓN.
Importante notar que no dice que ya no es su RELIGIÓN, porque Pablo habla de "NUESTRA RELIGIÓN" implicando que la considera suya también.
Recuerda, el judaísmo fue una vez la religión verdadera, que ahora llegaba a su plenitud con Jesús. Es obvio que Pablo no cambió de Dios, sino que le conoció en plenitud por la revelación de Jesucristo.
Uno de los pasajes más contundentes que menciona la controvertida palabra "Religión", es el siguiente:
SANTIAGO 1:26-27
26. Si alguno se cree religioso, pero no pone freno a su lengua, sino que engaña a su propio corazón, su religión es vana.
27. La RELIGIÓN pura e intachable ante Dios Padre es ésta: visitar a los huérfanos y a las viudas en su tribulación y conservarse incontaminado del mundo.
El pasaje NO dice que la RELIGIÓN es mala, o que el cristiano no tiene religión, sino que hay una "RELIGIÓN pura e intachable ante Dios Padre".
Nuestra RELIGIÓN se caracteriza principalmente en que se vive desde el interior, no con cumplimiento de preceptos, sino impregnada de una FE viva que se manifiesta en obras, en caridad para los necesitados y en mantener una vida limpia de pecado. Honrando de tal forma a Dios, nuestro Creador y Salvador.
Que Dios bendiga tu discernimiento.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a Pauline Epistle was found in which Paul had visited a Spanish community.

Romans 15:24
Paul died by decapitation. His body is located at the Church of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome.
His Head is located at the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome.
God bless.
It is a statement you said that Paul didn’t meet him. When he clearly met him on the road to Damascus??? Where he is blinded? And the question he asks “Who are you Lord? To say he didn’t meet him…..
That A-OK image at the beginning was 666: unbelievable!
What does ELCA stand for What Church ⛪ are you What are your beliefs about Baptism who do you say Jesus is ?
I fear God in Spirit is 3 oh also Jesus in He
Peter is not the Rock. Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Messiah. "On Christ the solid Rock." MY faith is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness."
Peter is the Rock. Jesus obviously stated it. Read and reflect on this.
Matthew 16:17-18- And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
@@ite_ad_iosep What was it that "my Father who is in heaven" revealed to Peter? What is the "this?" It certainly was not Peter.
@@robertagabor3736 Hello, brethren in Christ. Peter is obviously the rock. You can search up that the name Peter means rock in Greek or Hebrew (Cephas). The logic in the mentioned is obvious also.
@@robertagabor3736 Peter is a common masculine given name. It is derived from Greek Πέτρος, Petros (an invented, masculine form of Greek petra, the word for "rock" or "stone"), which itself was a translation of Aramaic Kefa ("stone, rock"), the nickname Jesus gave to apostle Simon Bar-Jona.
Jesus surely wouldn't give Peter that name if he isn't the rock. Peace and God's blessing be with us
@@ite_ad_iosep Yeshua didn't say , Peter You are the Rock! HE said "On this Rock I built the Church!" He wasn't talking about Any particular Church, but a Church that builds on Messiah Yeshua!!
The Faith of Jesus Christ Yashuah! Not my own!
Please do one about Jeremiah chapter 10 for "christmas" please
Why? Rick Steves has no real Biblical understanding or authority to expound on Paul or any Biblical prophet. He uses a worldly focus and understanding. He lost me at "Paul probably never met Christ. He had a vision that he 'thought' was Christ." Hogwash.
By the way, the word "satan", when referring to Peter, means "the opposer".
Jesus wasn't referring to his chosen Apostle as his "Adversary", which is the other meaning of the word "Satan".
God bless.
As a student of the KJV Bible, why is Vision Video advancing false New Testament heresies that circumcised Jewish Rav Shaul (Apostle Paul) ever became a “Christian”? It was Gentiles, who first called disciples “Christians” in Antioch. (Acts 11:26). Instead, Paul emphatically called himself a “Hebrew of the Hebrews,” a “Pharisee,” “of the tribe of Benjamin” (Philippians 3:5), and an “Israelite, of the seed of Abraham” (Romans 11:1). Further, Paul never renounced the law (Torah), but said the “law is holy,” and the “commandment holy, and just, and good.” (Rom. 7:12). He also said “the law is not made for a righteous man,” but for the “lawless,” disobedient,” “ungodly,” “sinners,” “unholy,” “profane,” “murderers,” “whoremongers,” “menstealers,” and “liars,” etc. (I Timothy 9,10, in part). Because Paul also wrote: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23), every soul on earth today needs the Torah law to teach Jews and Gentiles how to walk on a path of righteousness before the Almighty Holy God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of the Bible. Indeed, Paul warned; “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” (I Corinthians 6:9). Lastly, Paul clearly said . . . “so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets.” (Acts 24:14). This Vision Video (“Lives of the Apostles Paul and Peter”) epitomizes why Paul strongly rebuked “vain jangling.” He said “some” had “swerved” and “turned aside unto vain jangling” . . . “Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” (I Tim. 6,7).
St. Paul became a follower of Christ, led by the Holy Ghost and became an Apostle ordained by St. Peter the Rock. The fact is, if someone claims to be a follower of Christ Jesus, who is Lord, then they would be called a Christian. The name Christian is just labeling someone or a group as followers of Lord Jesus Christ. If someone follows Christ, I don't think they should get offended when being called a Christian. Also, about the old testament Patriarchs such as Abraham.
I think you should re-read St. John 8. Discern and meditate on that chapter. And Afterwards, you may be glad when someone calls you a Christian. BHI is okay, but Christian is showing no fear or hesitation of being a follower of the Lord of Lord's and King of Kings.
And see if you can get your hands on the original Bible text, which was written in Greek. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian clergy ONLY uses the original language in which the Bible was written which is Greek. KJV have strange translations and I learned there were some editing of scriptures too. This version of the bible originated from the protestant Church of England published in 1611. God be with us all✝️
Why would people, that is you, say something like Paul probably never met Yashua? You said Jesus a name He was never known by in His life. Is it because they don't see that as possable? The risen king? The one that was dead but now lives, the one that came to the apostles time and again after the resurrection? The entire reason for Christianity?
Why?
If you can say a thing like that, I assume you have never encountered our Lord either?
In which case why call yourself a Cristian; so many today hear an argument, believe it and say now I'm saved......now I am in a relationship with God?
Saul set out to destroy the witnesses of our Lord it was meeting Him that turned Paul's life around, so why say he probably never met Yashua? How would he become the witness he was? The implication is he just made it all up .... he gave us his personal opinion?
I think if you thought this through it would not have been said and TBH I wish people would think before speaking.
why are paul and peter portrayed as old men when they were upto the age of 30
Man's problem comes from Adam, God said he already prepared the lamb slain from before the Foundation of the World to be the propitiation for all . Jesus did all the works no man could do... completely fullfiled the full weight of the law ( not just 10 commandments but 600+, 24/7 in every possible way in being) God used willing hearts of men that believed the gospel because they saw the Son themselves. And Yahuah by His spirit sent His Holy Spirit and strengthened those men and spoke into them and THEY WROTE!!!! THANKS BE TO GOD Yahuah The Heavenly Father of all who believe on Him by Christ Jesus.
Why would be why would there be more than one God If thy father speaks as all people on Earth he does love cuz that's what he has spoken us and Heaven back to me spoke with me that he loved all vacation and all people and I all are welcomed in his heaven

Truly, God the Father has bought you, is your desire to be a willing participant in the transaction? Friends, let us transform this transaction into genuine practical, tangible results. The transaction proceeds, purchasing us with blood, the life of His Son. Surprisingly, He paid an exorbitant price for us, talk about inflation. No one prompted God, the rescue was His idea. The rebel leader will cause his own annihilation, his followers shall share the same fate. But no, God says the cases are not the same, mankind fell by trickery into rebellion.
A decision for God takes place, while chains of evil manners still linger; He accepts us fully into His family, at this point nothing has changed, the chains still bind us to sinful habits. Whose are we at this point in time? God our Father has shown His will on that subject by paying the price for our freedom. And when we publish our will on the subject by saying, "Lord, that is my choice, too; the direction of my future focuses on you.” The question lingers, how in the universe is anything able to preclude us from growing up into a child of God all mighty? OK, so you still have faults, if you have children or even friends, have they, faults? Yet they remain your children and friends. Matthew7:11 God’s word is assurance, He has adopted you into the Heavenly family, nothing can terminate that family relation except you. During WWII under interrogation having fingernails pulled out a young native Christian man answered, “Seven-day boy no tell.” Such loyalty is the manner of heavenly family members, likewise God himself, I John 1:9 God is faithful and just.
Suppose you awake in the morning, after a poor night’s sleep with a headache, and indigestion, fearing Omicron just attacked. Is there assurance of being a son or daughter? How to know you are to wear a mask, the president spoke, “Wear one.” Conversely, suppose you awake in the morning bright and shinning, exuberant with energy, hilariously smiling for ear to ear, Is there assurance of being a son or daughter? You believe what minor authorities say, why not believe what the major authority says?
Sometimes people answer when asked, "Are your sins forgiven?" "Yes, ayah, convinced for a period of time." "What convinced about forgiveness in the first place?" "I felt as though they were forgiven." Was there even a particle of evidence concerning forgiveness? Honorable, brothers and sisters, the only evidence available is God’s word. Evidence established requires a minimum of two witnesses. Deuteronomy 17:15 If needed, God can sound like a thousand witnesses. Put feelings in their place. Feelings are as variable as the wind. Never pay a speck of attention to them. Feelings fluctuate and food, sounds, or a nightmare influence the effect. Enjoy invigorating feelings, eliminate depressing ones. Everything in our individuality is part of God’s creation, feeling, and emotion are part of our total being, but they are not brains. When God declared, “Let there be light.” Light immediately appeared. When God declares, “I forgive Your sins,” who is there to protest. Sins are not observable as light, apparently, the proof is lacking, but God spoke in both cases, they are both true and trustworthy. On a sunny day try proclaiming there is no light. Hope you are comfortable in your padded cell.
Many, experience immediate freedom from addictions they know are harmful, however, the cleansing process continues for our entire life, believe, this takes elbow grease type spring cleaning.
Twice two is four. At some point you did not know that fact, but when 2+2=4 came to light, you were as jubilant as if Einstein had just explained the theory of relativity. Did the victorious feelings cause the calculation to be correct?
Now that is not saying that there will be no experience as the fruit of this, but it is saying that if serious disappointment could result. I just love that 2+3= 6, I feel so warm and friendly about it, it has to be correct. Counting on feelings as evidence, will ever end in disappointment, but probing in the word of God reveals all the proof needed, accompanied by exuberant feelings. Divine power is divinely speaking, effectively working in the person who believes.

Peter and Paul separated gospel in.. Galatians 2 : 7.. his accusations ..Acts 21: 21.. / Titus 1 : 10... Peter elected Matthias 12 apostol in acts 1.. through Paul Christianity was established and he established himself in Rome.. the covenant:
Genesis 17 : 9- 11.. Exodus 12 : 48- 49.. Joshua 5.. Ezekiel 44 : 8- 9.. Luke 2 : 21.. John 7 : 23.. Acts 7 : 8.. Acts 15 : 1.. Peter was left to feed the flock
What exactly is your point? I'd like know. God bless.
What part does Mary and the pope have in Pauls and Peters ministry. Do catholics not bow down to and kiss the feet of Mary, why do you kiss the hands of catholic priests whom you call father ?
We venerate their existence. We kiss, we give honor for living their holy lives. But we DO NOT WORSHIP them, nor the statues they represent. We are sane, we know what we're doing. The way we call the priests father doesn't equal to that of God's title, please. God's title as Father means you rely to Him on everything, you rely on His Divine providence as the Father. The way we call the priests father just simply means they're spiritual leaders chosen by God. You took the verse literally, will God be mad if your call your Dad "Father"? If God is really mad on the Catholics, he wouldn't have let the Church stand for 2000 years. God bless
@@ite_ad_iosep The Catholic church is the epitome if idol/paganworship. When I went to the Vatican, I saw that it is full of statues that I saw people kiss and rub and bow before. It is clearly stated in the 10 Commandments " And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ... The Catholic verses conveniently deleted this Commandment from their Cannon. Creating, praying, bowing before, and rubbing and kissing the hands of Popes/bishops, etc. and of carved images/statues are considered "worship" and God forbids it. Praying to Mary and prayers for the dead are also expressly forbidden by God. When He said to call no man "Father" because He is your Father, he was not referring to your parent. If He were referring to your parent,the Bible would not be full of begots and the Father of's. It's concerning that you would try and manipulate the scriptures that way. The Pharisees constantly tried to manipulate the scriptures as you seem to also be doing and Jesus reprimanded them and shut them down. When one is filled with the Holy Spirit, that Spirit...Jesus ...said, will lead us into all TRUTH. You must read the real bible scriptures for yourself so that you will not be lead astray because we are nearing "The End of the Age" and Jesus will return. Those who remain deceived will be lost.
@@ite_ad_iosep Catholic Church added and Pope removed Yeshua from ALL the Bibles!! God commands not to do either!!
BAD BLOOD The original Jerusalem faction, headed by James, stayed upset and/ or furious with him, they were a strictly "Jewish" faith , I was taught. They sent spies to observe and report back, and his irregular visits were replete with admonishments, blandishments, heated arguments and serious questions regarding his creative monies collection and "accounting" methods.
Why can't Peter's confession mean both? Why do so many faith traditions paint themselves into a corner of one or the other? Same thing with science, it and faith do not have to be mutually exclusive.
Paul was beheaded.
He be headed towards Jesus.
Sorry, but it's not scriptural for a woman to be a pastor. There was one woman, Debra which was a judge in the old testament. These comparisons are two different things!
Is there still apostle now?
Why do you sat that we may not know how Paul died!
Was he not beheaded?
Hi Paul was with Luke more than with Peter
GALATIANS 1:17- Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me: but I went to Arabia,and Returned again to Damascus,🙏😇
Then after that, Paul met Peter and other Apostles as well as James the brother of Jesus.

18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
CAESAR'S MESSIAH: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus - OFFICIAL VERSION - UA-cam
Paul lacked the authority to change times and laws. As 2 Peter 3:15-16 says 15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
Many statements that simply are not accurate or true…
And, alas, this is the secular, worldly "truth" that is now being disseminated as "Christianity."
The concept of Peter being the first Pope doesn't fit well with the Scriptures in my opinion
Peter was married unlike the unmarried papacy
Peter being Jewish might not have been praying to so-called dead saints - that would be idolatry
Peter emphasised preaching Jesus and calling people to salvation
The mixing of Roman traditional rites in the Church associated with Rome might have come at a later stage especially since Christianity was the main religion in the empire.
Christ told all His Apostles that if they want to follow Him they have to deny themselves. Peter left his wife and family behind for the Lord and that's why I love Catholic and Orthodox Bishops and Priest because they follow Jesus' orders. How many men will do that?
Luke 14:26 "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
LUKE 9:62 "And Jesus said unto him, “No man, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
MATTHEW 19:29 "And everyone that hath forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life."
In the old testament and in Revelations talks about how the Saints are praying for us on earth since the earth is actually damned in a sense. So, asking the Saints who were devoted to Jesus, was martyred for preaching the Gospels' experience horrible deaths for being Christian is acceptable. Read and meditate on scripture.
@@worthwhilediscussion Hi thanks for your reply.
I note your points put forth. While it is true that the Disciples received that instruction when following Christ, it is equally true for ANY person who follows Jesus. However, the Bible does not mention that Peter left his wife to follow this command. Instead, Peter was still married even when Jesus had already ascended to heaven after his death. How do I know this? Apostle Paul (commissioned by Jesus after his ascension) writes the Corinthian believers about his voluntary denial of the privileges of the Apostolic Office including getting a believing wife as Peter himself and OTHER APOSTLES did as part of their ministry
"Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?"
(1 Cor 9:5)
So it was not a requirement that the Apostle Peter himself and others would remain celibate to serve God. However there are those who chose to remain celibate (Matth 19:12) for the sake of God but it wasn't in the case of Peter, unfortunately.
Concerning the saints, ALL believers are saints and there is only one mediator between man and God, the man Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:5)
Shalom
@Gistone Walusiku At the time when Jesus was still physically with His Apostles, He specifically told them what they need to do if they want to follow Him and to take up their cross. Please stop trying to fit personal narratives and desires into Christ's teachings. Don't create unnecessary heresies. I gave proof of what EXACTLY the Lord said in scripture in the previous comment. If you argue with me, you're arguing with Christ, actually--not me. God bless you.
@@worthwhilediscussion Those are not heresies. In the spirit of timidness, I am not even arguing with you my brother/sister but pointing you to what the HOLY SCRIPTURES say about Peter and the so-called dead saints some people pray to. Saints are dead and they will NEVER be a medium for prayer. Sorry, but this is the truth! No dead man or woman plays a mediator role in biblical understanding. Jesus is the only High Priest and every Christian has the privilege to access him anywhere at any time. No wonder he sits on the right hand of God interceding for his children.
"It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, WHO ALSO MAKES INTERCESSION for us" (Rom 8:34)
Now, about Peter;
Scripture does not even state whether he divorced his wife. Actually, even after his commission, Peter was still married and even his mother in law was healed by the Lord Jesus..
"Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them" (Matthew 8:14)
How about after the Ascension of the Lord Jesus? He was married still. At the time Apostle Paul was writing 1 Corinthians, Peter was still married even after Jesus had already ascended to heaven.
"Do we have no right to take along a BELIEVING WIFE, as do also the OTHER APOSTLES, the BROTHERS OF THE LORD and Cephas ?" (1 Cor 9:5). From this verse, you can still deduce that Peter as well as other apostles who were commissioned were married.
God bless you

@Genesis 12:3, Divine Oath to Abraham.
The sincerity of God in the Genesis 12:3 promises given to Abraham for the benefit of all mankind, beginning first with the Jews and then to the Gentiles, as noted of God's faithfulness: where it's again spoken in Genesis 18:18, Gen. 22:18, Gen. 26:4, Gen. 27:29, and Genesis 28:14.
And also mentioned in Numbers 24:9, some 800 hundred years later after the death of Abraham, when that greedy man named Balaam voiced God's promise in the wilderness.
More explicitly, Jeremiah in 610 b.c. had it recorded in verse 4:2 despite the Babylonian seize.
1900 centuries ago unto now, Peter addressed the crowd at the gate of Beautiful in Acts 3:25.
And Paul preached it in 62 a.d. while admonishing the bewitched Galatians in verse 3:8.
But then in 1983, with much persecution and controversy from his own, the late great Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, founder of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews Organization, began proclaiming his ministry to all mankind, and the rest is history.
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein's earnest endeavor has made Genesis 12:3 and the Isaiah 58 promises a beacon in the reality of God's word of truth that's now and forever blessing those that bless Israel today. Paslms 112:9.
Rabbi Eckstein's success under scores God's faithfulness until there are a host of legally registered Jewish Organizations who compliment the Humanitarian words of Genesis 12:3 in services to all the world whether they be friend or foe as God had promised in times passed, " in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. "
Ecclesiastes 11:1,2. & Luke 6:38.
"There's a lot of things said about Peter that I would edit out"
Seriously dude? I hope you had nothing to do with anything biblical. Christ is the true Rock, He was the rock in the desert in Exodus, He's the Chief cornerstone of our faith. What if Christ was referring to Himself? Either way, the church is not our model of perfection, yet by the time Christ has finished with us, 'she' will be; perfect that is, through His blood & sanctification by the Holy Spirit.
You are right. When Christ said to Peter upon this rock I will build my Church He was referring to himself as the rock.
L
Please read, and comprehend. Matthew 16:17-19-
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Jesus referred Peter as the rock, this is obvious. Please read the whole context, not just one verse. Be not selective just to satisfy your own belief. Also, the name “Peter” comes from the Greek word for “rock.” Jesus makes him the foundation on which the church is to be built. God bless us all.
Its wase Jakov-(brother of Christ) first Head of Church!!!
