Hi Kenny, I just watched your interview with Keith Nester and looked for your channel. USA is so much blessed with great converts like Dr. Scot Hahn, you, and others. I am a cradle Catholic from Sri Lanka. We and I believe it's true with much of Asia (including India), don't have such dynamic lay preachers. The American Evangelicals have and continue to make inroads into Catholic Asia. Perhaps if you or others can find a way to do the same, we may be able to counter them better and, more importantly, bring Catholism to more Asians. God bless you.
Hi Kenny. As Catholics, while we hold the Bible as the inspired Word of God, we also deeply value the teachings of the Church Fathers, who have helped guide the interpretation of Scripture and the development of our faith. St. Augustine, for example, emphasized the harmony between faith and reason, famously stating, ‘I believe in order to understand’ (Credo ut intelligam). St. Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologica, built upon the Scriptures and early Christian thought, offering profound insights into theology, morality, and the nature of God. Their writings continue to be a cornerstone for understanding the Catholic faith in its fullness. Can you reference some of these as well in your recordings. Thanks Kenny! Keep up the good work!
Yes, I really do understand that. At some point, I may do this but my aim in the series is to help non-Catholic Christians (and Catholics who are working with them) answer the question, "Where does it say that in the Bible?" There is so much great stuff integrating the early fathers, philosophy, various strands of theological disciplines, propositional apologetics, etc. that I want to keep these very very very rooted in tracing the breadcrumbs through the Biblical texts. There may be occasions where I use the Fathers, the Deuterocanon, and even propositional apologetics, but only sparingly due to the nature of the series - Catholic BIBLE highlights. I sincerely love (and agree with) the truth that the "Fathers Know Best" when it comes to interpreting Scripture.
I'm here after watching your interview with Keith Nesther. Really amazing discussion i finished it even if its more than 2hrs, so enlightening and inspiring. I am a cradle catholic and I wanted to learn more.
I looked you up after watching your sit down with Keith Nester. Boy am I glad I found you. Love how you go in depth explaining Ephesians 4:11-14. You are a very good teacher. Love it when I learn something new and think I will learn lots from you. THANK YOU!!
I received my Catholic Bible Highlights stickers and have started taking notes! This series is so helpful in explaining our Catholic faith to non-Catholics. Thank you so much, Kenny!
Bought my highlighters; will be trying to regularly mark up an old study Bible I have (not a very fancy one, but a well-read one, anyway) to help deepen my relationship with scripture. Thank you for this immense resource you provide.
Thank you Kenny I learn so much from you. You are my Bible study teacher. Your explanation are so easy to understand. I appreciate what you’re doing. All glory to God!
Awesome video. I always like asking my Protestant friends under what authority did Peter and Paul decide that circumcision was no longer required. It was a vision from God. Had they just relied on scripture alone they would have had to refer to Genesis and see that it teaches Circumsicion is required.
well except that protestants see the old testament as mreely symbolic. They would say that the old testament rules were completely trumped by Jesus' arrival. They don't really believe that Jesus taught solely from the old testament as far as His scripure references are concerned.
Wow thanks so much Kenny never seen these passages with this historical, and contextual perspective. Praise the Lord and may he keeps lay his blessing upon you and your ministry.
Well done Kenny Burchard. I hope you do a deep dive on one of my favorites, 2Pet1:20, “First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation” It’s in the Bible!
@@Spiritof76Catholic not in my experience. The defender of Sola Scriptura will focus on the word “prophecy” and say they agree, no prophecy of scripture is ones own interpretation. But the entire Bible is not prophecy, so this verse kind of bounces off them.
Always worth pointing out who Timothy was. Not a random person who just wondered in and got a Bible but a Bishop. Also in 1 Timothy 3:15 Saint Paul says the Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth. Biggest problem with Sola Scriptura is who is doing the interpreting.
I would add 2 Timothy 2:2 as an alternative to Sola Scriptura. You can show the contradictions of Sola Scriptura but the Protestant will just fall back on the idea that this is the best we have. But Paul clearly tells Timothy to guard what Paul taught Timothy and to teach other men who will be able to teach others. Right there is apostolic succession and is a clear teaching for how the faith is supposed to be passed on. There is not a single command from Jesus or the Apostles about copying the writings of the apostles and that Christian’s are to hold to only those writings. Not a single verse although they try to use 1 Tim 3:15-16 to support this idea. But not only does 2 Tim 2:2 refute Sola Scriptura but it also explains how the faith is supposed to be transmitted.
The Bible is the main reason why I became Catholic. My wife bought me a notetaking Catholic Bible for Father's Day. That Bible is highlighted all over and I write what God tells me in the margins.
This is singlehandedly the best way to battle sola scriptura and any minority that deviated from the body of the larger apostolic church. Thank you for this!
The funny thing about “Sola Scriptura” I never see discussed is *no one reads the Bible in a vaccum*. To use ANY study bible or ANY ‘extra-biblical’ help in understanding implies a Biblical tradition! So why on earth would I trust, say, John MacArthur or Martin Luther or Charles Spurgeon when we have over 1,500+ years of writings of church fathers and saints?
I meet with my protestant friend monthly and discuss a topic. This verse comes up a lot. I have to always remind him that we agree on this yet he has made this verse say something it doesn't. Then we go to why we worship Mary (his words not mine). Interesting point of the timeline.
Wonderfully excellent resplendent informative presentation Catholic Brother Kenny, I truly hope that you’ll be able to reach out to countless Catholics who are so unlearned in the Catholic Church and faith.May the All Glorious Exalted Praise worthy Thankworthy and All Powerful Holy Trinity Bless Guide Increase and Protect Your Holy Works in the Catholic Church for the rest of your Day’s AMEN DEO GRATIS ALLELUIA HOSANNA IN EXCELSIS DEO GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO 🙏🐑🕊️✨🔥
Thank you, Mr. Burchard! Excellent pinned comment about blocking 🚫 Intellectual honesty is lacking with some "opposing" views. Regurgitation of the same ole' talking points is not useful. Before spewing nonsense, an honest attempt to research would quickly dispel many misunderstandings and assumptions. I am personally looking forward to the series.
This is one of the best explanations of an issue I have had with my Protestant friends and extended family members. I look forward to future conversations about other Bible verses. This is very helpful! Thank you, Kenny!
I also take issue with the word "profitable" as it does not mean "sufficient". An analogy I use is "are hand tools profitable in the building of a cabinet?" Obviously, yes, but are they sufficient? Obviously, no. One still needs lumber, fasteners, plans and someone who can teach one how to use the tools, read the plans, etc.
Yes, we differentiate between MATERIAL and FORMAL sufficiency as Catholics. It may have everything you need, but YOU don't have everything you need without the Church to guide you. Nobody is a Christian alone, and Christianity isn't a solo act.
TY for the straight to the point answer using the very doctrine and man made traditions that the followers of heretical apostates (aka protestants) follow. Excellent Christmas gift. TY. Tenete Traditiones God bless.
I would like to add 3 more verses - John 20:30, John 21:25, & 2 Thessalonians 2:15 All three of these verse reinforce not everything is in the Bible, so we must hold fast to the traditions we have been taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter...
Another point which I'm sure Kenny has made before is that some translations use the English word 'tradition' when the passages refers to men's tradition but 'teaching' when used in something taught orally. My understanding is the Greek words are the same in both cases.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 Paul specifically says, to "stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we have passed on to you, whether by word or letter." Thus clearly states that all the teaching was not only the scripture but also the oral teachings of the apostles (using their teaching authority). In essence, it is the teaching authority of the Chirch. Igantius of Antioch, Polycarp, and other 2nd century Christians also wrote about this.
Thank your for doing this video and hopefully many more. I had looked into this text before, but didn't make the connection to Ephesians 4:11-14. This has been very enlightening and I'm looking forwards to future "highlights". Thank you for your ministry. God bless you.
Wow Kenny, great video and your troll patrol is a great idea. I would love to see all YT videos, both Protestant and Catholic, do the same. That's a great way to help train us all to develop a respectful approach to dialog. Is that a YT feature available to every channel host like yourself? If so, I'm going to start recommending it in comments. Thanks.
It’s available to anyone with a channel and should be done whenever possible. Bridge building conversations and dialogue with respect (especially when coming into someone else’s channel) are the only way to pursue the healing of wounds to unity.
I love this!! Looking forward to more videos on Bible highlights. A lot of my Bibles are highlighted but I only had three words in this passage highlighted; "unity of the faith". I'm highlighting the entire passage now. Thank you for the apologetics and inspiration.
As Catholics; we by tradition learn the faith through stories vs verse vomiting out of context. Memorizing verses isn’t the same or knowing the story of salvation
@@Idishrkdmd I was Protestant most of my life - I never thought that or knew anyone who did. Sometimes I just like to type a little faster & not look up spelling.
@@KennyBurchard As an RCIA Convert, I know The 66 Books fairly well - relatively clueless re the "7 extra books" and it is so frustrating to not be able to find anything.
@@cindiloowhoo1166I get it. As a convert myself I spend a good amount of time in the deuterocanon along with commentaries. I spent most of my life not knowing them. I have catching up to do!!
Thanks for the tips, Kenny. I also highlight bible verses on my bibles. I use a community Catholic Bible, Good News Bible and a KJV. I'm alao going to order the new Ignatius Bible with reviews by Scott Hahn. God bless us all in our journey to the Christian truth of our Catholic faith.
The Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church around 400 AD. Then, around 1800, the Protestants removed the seven books. So, if we assume that the 66 books are the proper canon, then for around 1800 years, there was no authority or reliable authority. Our understanding of the faith before the 1800 period is all questionable. And God waited 1800 years before He revealed the true and complete understanding of the Christian faith.
Hey. I really appreciate and agreed with this video. My question to you is, Why then does the offices mentioned in Ephesians not exit in the Catholic Church today? I’ve never heard of a functioning prophet or apostle in Catholicism.
I'm not fully read on prophets but my understanding on bishops, and I believe the NT supports it, is that all the successors of the Apostles were called bishop. As I recall, the English words overseers and elders were used interchangeably in the NT but, over time, my understanding is the overseers were later called bishops and the elders came to be known as priest. I can't recall if 1 Clement uses the Greek word for bishop but, with Ignatius of Antioch in 107 AD, bishop, priest and deacon are household titles requiring absolute respect and authority. Ignatius instructs his hearers to follow the bishop as they would the Apostles. I did hear recently that the Church does consider that Revelation ended with the last Apostle. I also seem to recall prophets were mentioned in the Didache but some scholars believe that document could be from the 1st C.
As the church has the authority to determine proper doctrine and decide how best to govern (none of that is in the Bible), it can decide these types of things. I’m sure there are more specific answers but this is a general rule.
To me i always ask to them who made the bible before we discuss every words writen on it. and many of them become neutralize from being aggresive talking about bibble, so that question make them uncomtable to answer becuase if the aswer it it will shown that catholic is mainly the responsable .
Thanks Kenny! Please bear with me if I am a bit long in debunking sola scriptura which even the Bible itself does not teach. I hope you can read my whole posts [in 3 parts] as additional inputs for you and your viewers. Part 1 ✔ You said correctly that historically, no Bible existed in AD64-65 when Paul wrote to Timothy at Ephesus. The Bible officially came to existence only in AD382 (when Pope Damasus, Bishop of Rome, proclained the official canon of the Bible) and in AD397 when the council of Carthage promulgated the same official list of 72 books to combat the proliferations of pseudo-epigrapha or fake or un-inspired writing proliferating in those days. ✔ Moroveor, Paul and Timothy were both Jewish converts, and what Paul called πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not the Bible we have today, but about the Hebrew Scripture called the Tanakh which they have in its Greek Septuagint version. So contextually, the πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not pointing nor pertaining to the Bible that we know today. ✔ You also correctly pointed out that the word μόνος (mónos) was not in the text. But even if ONLY was used an adverb for the past-participle θεόπνευστος (Theo-pneustos) which literary means 'God-breathed' or dynamically rendered as 'inspired' - it still does not present or presuppose any authority on the Tanakh nor did the text present the Tanakh as a basis of authority. ✔ Moreover, Paul has absolutely no right to designate who was supposed to be the authority over his Church other than those under his jurisdiction as an ἐπίσκοπος (Episkopos or Bishop i.e. all the Episkopos (like Timothy) and πρεσβύτερος (Presbyteros or priests) and διάκονος (diakonos or deacons) whom he ordained under his ecclesiastical jurisdiction. ONLY JESUS CHRIST has this right to appoint the authority of very his Church being its founder.
@@KennyBurchard - Thanks! ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD! I hope you read also PARTS 2 AND 3 on separate posts. By the way, it was NOT 2Tim 3.16-17, NOT St Paul who declared the Bible as God-breathed or inspired but rather they were Pope Damasus (AD 382) and the Council of Carthage (AD397) who declared the official canon of Scriptures, selecting ONLY INSPIRED Books to be included into the Canon or List of Books. Indeed it is the Church, the household of God, that Jesus founded on the Apostles (Eph 2.20), NOT on the Bible - because the Church is the bulwark of Truth (1 Tim 3.15), NOT the Bible alone! Pray for me, a sinner!
It's interesting what the more bare-bones conception of sola scriptura has become. Jews appealed to the old testament vs the teachings of Christians which were not written at the time the former first objected to them
I don’t see the point of the not-yet-written New Testament books. Because protestants are not looking at when, whatever books, were written. They simple say all of scripture, is the sole authority for the Christian. John 16:12&13, says His Bride Church is Holy Ghost guided….the guidance per verse 13, which is, what Bridegroom is telling His Bride, which is what verse 12 is saying. Ask 10 protestants to define the church, and you will get 5 to 10 different answers. They say there is no authority of the church because there is no real body of people called the church, to the protestant mind. Allegedly they go by the Bible. Yet the Bible always says, the church in or the church at, a particular location. It’s never Susie‘s church here or Jimmy’s church there. It’s always, THE church in such & such location.
So Kenny, nice video. First one of yours I've watched. My only question after all your explanation is, what do I need outside of scripture to enter into the gates of Heaven and spend eternity with my Lord and Savior? Also, do you call yourself a teacher? By what authority are you a teacher as you talked about them in Eph 4?
Peace be with you Dan. I'll let Kenny answer your questions if he so chooses. But I can and will step in as needed if he isn't able to respond to you. I wanted to point out regarding your first question that, before stepping out of the Bible, that perhaps you ought to observe what the Bible teaches first. For example, do you observe the Sacraments instituted by Jesus and the Apostles, such as the Eucharist?
Thanks, Dan -- I do not call myself a teacher (if by that term, you mean the office gift of Teacher in Eph. 4). I am a layman and a Catholic who was formerly a non-Catholic (from 1986 to 2019), and a Pastor for 20 of those years. I was ordained in the Foursquare Church, and seminary trained (M.A. in New Testament) from the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in California. When I was in that form of Christianity, I thought of myself as a Pastor-Teacher because I felt I was one, and because my denomination was willing to ordain me (though they had no biblical authority to ordain anyone, having no apostolicity, and having been started by people vs. having been started by Jesus). As far as what a person needs, outside of scripture (by that I take you to mean "apart from what is contained in scripture") to "enter the gates of heaven and spend eternity with your Lord and Savior?" -- I guess my question back to tease out the implications of the question a bit is; Do you believe some religions say they believe the Bible but have wrong interpretations of it to the degree that you would say, "That's not a Christian group, regardless of their claim to believe the Bible?" If you would answer yes, I'd say *you* have some things in mind in answer to your own question (since any group you might be thinking of also has a Bible). So -- what are those things?
@KennyBurchard tha ks for the response. I really appreciate it. You didn't really answer my question, just gave me a different question. 2nd question. Whobwoukd be the spiritual leader of a family. Do parents have no authority to teach the gospel to their children, or was it Jesus's plan simply to load them in the car and take them to church for the authoritarian? Finally, what is the Holy Spirit's role in the life of a believer?
If you talk to every Protestant it seems the Holy Spirit is confuse because each one of them is telling that they are being touch by the Holy Spirit but they have different interpretation with the scriptures that is why they are more than forty thousand Christian denomination in the world because their authority is the bible not the church. 1 Timothy 3-15
Disappointed that Ken did not quote 2nd Thessalonians' 2: 15 "So then brethren stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us , either by word of mouth or by letter" The traditions being what was handed down by the apostles and their successors and word of mouth is that which may or may not have been written in the Bible
A catechist once told me “Text without context is pretext.” Any two people can read the same text, but without context, each can declare himself correct even though they are opposed. The Catholic Church has always taught the correct context because they have had the teaching authority (Holy Spirit) since the canon was set. Pretext allows for human agendas and now here we are, with 30k+ Christian denominations, each with their own interpretation of Scripture. The Protestant rebellion makes every man his own pope!
Love you Kenny, but I absolutely cannot bring myself to highlight books and certainly not the Bible. The most I'll do is flip down a corner of the page when I come across something thought provoking, but in the context of the Bible, every page corner would need to flipped down 😂 Ever since I saw your testimony with Marcus Grodi, I've always thought you'd be a good candidate to start a online channel. May the precious blood of Jesus cover you, your family, those who work with you, for you and their families, preserve you from sin, and make you a stalwart defender of our Lord and Lady, through Christ our Lord, amen. ✝️
@@KennyBurchard Hi Kenny, yes that's my usual approach with the notebook. Although I'm considering getting a simple KJV, with a note section, and marking that up. I find that using a translation such as KJV, that all if not, most Protestants would find acceptable, makes for a compelling argument. If I can show Catholic doctrines from one of the most Protestant translations, then that ought to give people pause. The translation objection used to be a big one in decades gone by, but seems to have virtually disappeared in the last 10 years.

I'm here after watching your interview with Keith Nesther. Really amazing discussion i finished it even if its more than 2hrs, so enlightening and inspiring. I am a cradle catholic and I wanted to learn more.
I looked you up after watching your sit down with Keith Nester. Boy am I glad I found you. Love how you go in depth explaining Ephesians 4:11-14. You are a very good teacher. Love it when I learn something new and think I will learn lots from you. THANK YOU!!
Great teaching. Thx. We are very blessed to have you in the Church.
I received my Catholic Bible Highlights stickers and have started taking notes! This series is so helpful in explaining our Catholic faith to non-Catholics. Thank you so much, Kenny!
So glad! Keep us posted on your progress!!!
Bought my highlighters; will be trying to regularly mark up an old study Bible I have (not a very fancy one, but a well-read one, anyway) to help deepen my relationship with scripture. Thank you for this immense resource you provide.
Go for it!!
My Bible is highlighted and I have a better understanding of these two versus. Ready for the next episode. Thank you
🎉❤
Brilliant idea for a series, Kenny.
Thak you for coming over to our side and home to Jesus' one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
It’s good to be home
Wow , great video with important information and truth .
KENNY you blow me away every time you teach. Keep it up brother.
Thanks!!
Thank you Kenny I learn so much from you. You are my Bible study teacher. Your explanation are so easy to understand. I appreciate what you’re doing. All glory to God!
Wonderful!
Yes, it is! Praise be to God!
Thank you so much, Brother Kenny Burchard, for this amazing explanation!
Welcome!
A+!!!! Can’t wait to highlight my Bibles and have this conversation with dear Protestant friends.
I have now written these in my note taking Bible.
@@BensWorkshop what wide margin bible did you purchase? Thank you
Awesome video. I always like asking my Protestant friends under what authority did Peter and Paul decide that circumcision was no longer required. It was a vision from God. Had they just relied on scripture alone they would have had to refer to Genesis and see that it teaches Circumsicion is required.
Man, I getting some really great comments from you guys I've not heard before.
well except that protestants see the old testament as mreely symbolic. They would say that the old testament rules were completely trumped by Jesus' arrival. They don't really believe that Jesus taught solely from the old testament as far as His scripure references are concerned.
Wow thanks so much Kenny never seen these passages with this historical, and contextual perspective. Praise the Lord and may he keeps lay his blessing upon you and your ministry.
Just completed my first Bible highlight episode with my Ave Catholic note taking Bible! Love this format, thank you for making these videos!
Thank you brother Kenny. This was sooo helpful.
Well done Kenny Burchard. I hope you do a deep dive on one of my favorites, 2Pet1:20, “First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation”
It’s in the Bible!
And what about the eunoch's story? “Acts 8:30-31 Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?”
@@DadoMac yep. Good point.
@@DadoMac Yes. Thats why I quoted 2Pet1:20. It rules out sola scriptura. It’s the Magisterium of the Catholic Church that guides us.
@@Spiritof76Catholicamen it’s the way Jesus keep his promise to guide us into all truth. The gifts of God to His Church!
@@Spiritof76Catholic not in my experience. The defender of Sola Scriptura will focus on the word “prophecy” and say they agree, no prophecy of scripture is ones own interpretation. But the entire Bible is not prophecy, so this verse kind of bounces off them.
Excellent point about Ephesians 4. Definitely highlighted that. Thanks.
Well done. Love the concept. Great balance of apologetics and how-to. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Dear friend thank you for the gift. I do not take these for granted and will put it to use for the channel. Peace to you!! - Kenny
Always worth pointing out who Timothy was. Not a random person who just wondered in and got a Bible but a Bishop. Also in 1 Timothy 3:15 Saint Paul says the Church is the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
Biggest problem with Sola Scriptura is who is doing the interpreting.
❤
God bless you and your family for defending our Catholic faith in which should every Catholic suppose to do.
Thank you. Let’s get to work!!!
Thank you for this series!!!
This is simply a AMAZING idea! This is Holy Spirt lead to edify the Body of Christ.
I would add 2 Timothy 2:2 as an alternative to Sola Scriptura. You can show the contradictions of Sola Scriptura but the Protestant will just fall back on the idea that this is the best we have.
But Paul clearly tells Timothy to guard what Paul taught Timothy and to teach other men who will be able to teach others. Right there is apostolic succession and is a clear teaching for how the faith is supposed to be passed on.
There is not a single command from Jesus or the Apostles about copying the writings of the apostles and that Christian’s are to hold to only those writings. Not a single verse although they try to use 1 Tim 3:15-16 to support this idea. But not only does 2 Tim 2:2 refute Sola Scriptura but it also explains how the faith is supposed to be transmitted.
The Bible is the main reason why I became Catholic. My wife bought me a notetaking Catholic Bible for Father's Day. That Bible is highlighted all over and I write what God tells me in the margins.
🎉❤awesome
This is singlehandedly the best way to battle sola scriptura and any minority that deviated from the body of the larger apostolic church. Thank you for this!
Thanks. FIght the good fight!
God bless you Sir Kenny!
Thanks!
Thank so much Kenny for these tips.. I'll also mention 1 Timothy 3,15 .
Yep!
The funny thing about “Sola Scriptura” I never see discussed is *no one reads the Bible in a vaccum*. To use ANY study bible or ANY ‘extra-biblical’ help in understanding implies a Biblical tradition! So why on earth would I trust, say, John MacArthur or Martin Luther or Charles Spurgeon when we have over 1,500+ years of writings of church fathers and saints?
Exactly 👍🏻
Bravo! Well done, Kenny! I knew both passages but never made that connection.
“Verses I never saw before!”
Thank you for your word of God, teach all who has lost and gone astray , keep up the good work one love brother man.
Wow!! Rock solid argument!!
Thank you Brother for your Catholic clarity.GOD BLESS YUOR WOORK FOR THE CHURCH
Thank YOU!!!🎉🎉
I meet with my protestant friend monthly and discuss a topic. This verse comes up a lot. I have to always remind him that we agree on this yet he has made this verse say something it doesn't. Then we go to why we worship Mary (his words not mine). Interesting point of the timeline.
I understand. It’s the shell game. It’s part of the process. Keep it up!
Scripture to be highlighted
2 Tim 3 : 16 - 17
Ephes 4 : 11 - 14
God Bless you brother!
Great job, as always!
So good
Thank you brother for this amazing helpful video! Please keep them coming! God bless you🙏
Wonderfully excellent resplendent informative presentation Catholic Brother Kenny, I truly hope that you’ll be able to reach out to countless Catholics who are so unlearned in the Catholic Church and faith.May the All Glorious Exalted Praise worthy Thankworthy and All Powerful Holy Trinity Bless Guide Increase and Protect Your Holy Works in the Catholic Church for the rest of your Day’s AMEN DEO GRATIS ALLELUIA HOSANNA IN EXCELSIS DEO GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO 🙏🐑🕊️✨🔥
Thank you!!
We need more
Thank you, Mr. Burchard!
Excellent pinned comment about blocking 🚫
Intellectual honesty is lacking with some "opposing" views.
Regurgitation of the same ole' talking points is not useful.
Before spewing nonsense, an honest attempt to research would quickly dispel many misunderstandings and assumptions.
I am personally looking forward to the series.
I simply cannot allow trolls on my channel. 100% forbidden.
This is one of the best explanations of an issue I have had with my Protestant friends and extended family members. I look forward to future conversations about other Bible verses. This is very helpful! Thank you, Kenny!
I’ve never heard anybody mention this parallel verse in Ephesians. Very cool. Thanks!
Mirror image
I also take issue with the word "profitable" as it does not mean "sufficient". An analogy I use is "are hand tools profitable in the building of a cabinet?" Obviously, yes, but are they sufficient? Obviously, no. One still needs lumber, fasteners, plans and someone who can teach one how to use the tools, read the plans, etc.
Yes, we differentiate between MATERIAL and FORMAL sufficiency as Catholics. It may have everything you need, but YOU don't have everything you need without the Church to guide you. Nobody is a Christian alone, and Christianity isn't a solo act.
this a great thanks bro, i have a question about the sabbath maybe you can answer it. why is it no longer worshipped on saturday and instead sunday
TY for the straight to the point answer using the very doctrine and man made traditions that the followers of heretical apostates (aka protestants) follow.
Excellent Christmas gift. TY.
Tenete Traditiones
God bless.
Another great vídeo. Graças a Deus!
I would like to add 3 more verses - John 20:30, John 21:25, & 2 Thessalonians 2:15 All three of these verse reinforce not everything is in the Bible, so we must hold fast to the traditions we have been taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter...
Really great!
Another point which I'm sure Kenny has made before is that some translations use the English word 'tradition' when the passages refers to men's tradition but 'teaching' when used in something taught orally. My understanding is the Greek words are the same in both cases.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 Paul specifically says, to "stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we have passed on to you, whether by word or letter."
Thus clearly states that all the teaching was not only the scripture but also the oral teachings of the apostles (using their teaching authority).
In essence, it is the teaching authority of the Chirch. Igantius of Antioch, Polycarp, and other 2nd century Christians also wrote about this.
Thank your for doing this video and hopefully many more. I had looked into this text before, but didn't make the connection to Ephesians 4:11-14. This has been very enlightening and I'm looking forwards to future "highlights". Thank you for your ministry. God bless you.
Great! 🎉🎉
Excwllent!
Wow Kenny, great video and your troll patrol is a great idea. I would love to see all YT videos, both Protestant and Catholic, do the same. That's a great way to help train us all to develop a respectful approach to dialog. Is that a YT feature available to every channel host like yourself? If so, I'm going to start recommending it in comments. Thanks.
It’s available to anyone with a channel and should be done whenever possible. Bridge building conversations and dialogue with respect (especially when coming into someone else’s channel) are the only way to pursue the healing of wounds to unity.
I love this!! Looking forward to more videos on Bible highlights. A lot of my Bibles are highlighted but I only had three words in this passage highlighted; "unity of the faith". I'm highlighting the entire passage now. Thank you for the apologetics and inspiration.
@@30321495 you’re welcome!!
Thank you
Thank you for your video brother it was helpful.
Really good stuff! Keep it up, saving this vid to my verbum highlight
As Catholics; we by tradition learn the faith through stories vs verse vomiting out of context.
Memorizing verses isn’t the same or knowing the story of salvation
Thank you
Chapter by Chapter, Verse by verse Catholic Bible Studies are sorely needed! Especially for the Apocryphal Books!
I agree. I talk about this with my wife all the time. Perhaps I’ll look at doing at least one book to see how it goes.
I would call them deuterocanonical not apocryphal that term is used by Protestants to demean the books by delegitimising them through the name.
@@Idishrkdmd I was Protestant most of my life - I never thought that or knew anyone who did. Sometimes I just like to type a little faster & not look up spelling.
@@KennyBurchard As an RCIA Convert, I know The 66 Books fairly well - relatively clueless re the "7 extra books" and it is so frustrating to not be able to find anything.
@@cindiloowhoo1166I get it. As a convert myself I spend a good amount of time in the deuterocanon along with commentaries. I spent most of my life not knowing them. I have catching up to do!!
Thanks for the tips, Kenny. I also highlight bible verses on my bibles. I use a community Catholic Bible, Good News Bible and a KJV. I'm alao going to order the new Ignatius Bible with reviews by Scott Hahn. God bless us all in our journey to the Christian truth of our Catholic faith.
I ordered my copy too. Can’t wait for it. Awesome!
The Bible was canonized by the Catholic Church around 400 AD. Then, around 1800, the Protestants removed the seven books. So, if we assume that the 66 books are the proper canon, then for around 1800 years, there was no authority or reliable authority. Our understanding of the faith before the 1800 period is all questionable. And God waited 1800 years before He revealed the true and complete understanding of the Christian faith.
Exactly. He waited 1800 years and decided to reveal it to a rather disgruntled German monk.
This is great
Hey. I really appreciate and agreed with this video. My question to you is, Why then does the offices mentioned in Ephesians not exit in the Catholic Church today? I’ve never heard of a functioning prophet or apostle in Catholicism.
I'm not fully read on prophets but my understanding on bishops, and I believe the NT supports it, is that all the successors of the Apostles were called bishop. As I recall, the English words overseers and elders were used interchangeably in the NT but, over time, my understanding is the overseers were later called bishops and the elders came to be known as priest. I can't recall if 1 Clement uses the Greek word for bishop but, with Ignatius of Antioch in 107 AD, bishop, priest and deacon are household titles requiring absolute respect and authority. Ignatius instructs his hearers to follow the bishop as they would the Apostles.
I did hear recently that the Church does consider that Revelation ended with the last Apostle. I also seem to recall prophets were mentioned in the Didache but some scholars believe that document could be from the 1st C.
As the church has the authority to determine proper doctrine and decide how best to govern (none of that is in the Bible), it can decide these types of things.
I’m sure there are more specific answers but this is a general rule.
To me i always ask to them who made the bible before we discuss every words writen on it. and many of them become neutralize from being aggresive talking about bibble, so that question make them uncomtable to answer becuase if the aswer it it will shown that catholic is mainly the responsable .
Thanks Kenny! Please bear with me if I am a bit long in debunking sola scriptura which even the Bible itself does not teach. I hope you can read my whole posts [in 3 parts] as additional inputs for you and your viewers.
Part 1
✔ You said correctly that historically, no Bible existed in AD64-65 when Paul wrote to Timothy at Ephesus. The Bible officially came to existence only in AD382 (when Pope Damasus, Bishop of Rome, proclained the official canon of the Bible) and in AD397 when the council of Carthage promulgated the same official list of 72 books to combat the proliferations of pseudo-epigrapha or fake or un-inspired writing proliferating in those days.
✔ Moroveor, Paul and Timothy were both Jewish converts, and what Paul called πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not the Bible we have today, but about the Hebrew Scripture called the Tanakh which they have in its Greek Septuagint version. So contextually, the πᾶσα γραφὴ (Pasa Graphe) = All (that is) written (2 Tim 3.15) was not pointing nor pertaining to the Bible that we know today.
✔ You also correctly pointed out that the word μόνος (mónos) was not in the text. But even if ONLY was used an adverb for the past-participle θεόπνευστος (Theo-pneustos) which literary means 'God-breathed' or dynamically rendered as 'inspired' - it still does not present or presuppose any authority on the Tanakh nor did the text present the Tanakh as a basis of authority.
✔ Moreover, Paul has absolutely no right to designate who was supposed to be the authority over his Church other than those under his jurisdiction as an ἐπίσκοπος (Episkopos or Bishop i.e. all the Episkopos (like Timothy) and πρεσβύτερος (Presbyteros or priests) and διάκονος (diakonos or deacons) whom he ordained under his ecclesiastical jurisdiction. ONLY JESUS CHRIST has this right to appoint the authority of very his Church being its founder.
Great!
@@KennyBurchard - Thanks! ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!
I hope you read also PARTS 2 AND 3 on separate posts.
By the way, it was NOT 2Tim 3.16-17, NOT St Paul who declared the Bible as God-breathed or inspired but rather they were Pope Damasus (AD 382) and the Council of Carthage (AD397) who declared the official canon of Scriptures, selecting ONLY INSPIRED Books to be included into the Canon or List of Books. Indeed it is the Church, the household of God, that Jesus founded on the Apostles (Eph 2.20), NOT on the Bible - because the Church is the bulwark of Truth (1 Tim 3.15), NOT the Bible alone!
Pray for me, a sinner!
This is great, and thank you! Also 1 Timothy wasn't part of Scripture when St. Paul wrote it!
It's interesting what the more bare-bones conception of sola scriptura has become. Jews appealed to the old testament vs the teachings of Christians which were not written at the time the former first objected to them
So more videos like this addressing each Protestant argument!
Yep. Do you have a favorite?
@@KennyBurchard baptism is only a symbol!!!
@@truthnotlies great. We can do that one.
My douay rheims was way to expensive to be marking up. It's in latin and English
You need another Bible you can mark up.
Highlighted.
Great! More to come!
@@KennyBurchard can’t wait. And btw. I’m not even Catholic (yet)
I don’t see the point of the not-yet-written New Testament books.
Because protestants are not looking at when, whatever books, were written. They simple say all of scripture, is the sole authority for the Christian.
John 16:12&13, says His Bride Church is Holy Ghost guided….the guidance per verse 13, which is, what Bridegroom is telling His Bride, which is what verse 12 is saying.
Ask 10 protestants to define the church, and you will get 5 to 10 different answers. They say there is no authority of the church because there is no real body of people called the church, to the protestant mind. Allegedly they go by the Bible. Yet the Bible always says, the church in or the church at, a particular location. It’s never Susie‘s church here or Jimmy’s church there. It’s always, THE church in such & such location.
So Kenny, nice video. First one of yours I've watched. My only question after all your explanation is, what do I need outside of scripture to enter into the gates of Heaven and spend eternity with my Lord and Savior?
Also, do you call yourself a teacher? By what authority are you a teacher as you talked about them in Eph 4?
Peace be with you Dan.
I'll let Kenny answer your questions if he so chooses. But I can and will step in as needed if he isn't able to respond to you.
I wanted to point out regarding your first question that, before stepping out of the Bible, that perhaps you ought to observe what the Bible teaches first. For example, do you observe the Sacraments instituted by Jesus and the Apostles, such as the Eucharist?
Thanks, Dan --
I do not call myself a teacher (if by that term, you mean the office gift of Teacher in Eph. 4). I am a layman and a Catholic who was formerly a non-Catholic (from 1986 to 2019), and a Pastor for 20 of those years. I was ordained in the Foursquare Church, and seminary trained (M.A. in New Testament) from the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in California. When I was in that form of Christianity, I thought of myself as a Pastor-Teacher because I felt I was one, and because my denomination was willing to ordain me (though they had no biblical authority to ordain anyone, having no apostolicity, and having been started by people vs. having been started by Jesus).
As far as what a person needs, outside of scripture (by that I take you to mean "apart from what is contained in scripture") to "enter the gates of heaven and spend eternity with your Lord and Savior?" -- I guess my question back to tease out the implications of the question a bit is; Do you believe some religions say they believe the Bible but have wrong interpretations of it to the degree that you would say, "That's not a Christian group, regardless of their claim to believe the Bible?" If you would answer yes, I'd say *you* have some things in mind in answer to your own question (since any group you might be thinking of also has a Bible). So -- what are those things?
@KennyBurchard tha ks for the response. I really appreciate it. You didn't really answer my question, just gave me a different question.
2nd question. Whobwoukd be the spiritual leader of a family. Do parents have no authority to teach the gospel to their children, or was it Jesus's plan simply to load them in the car and take them to church for the authoritarian?
Finally, what is the Holy Spirit's role in the life of a believer?
the 1st Edition of the KJV had the Deuterocanonicals and all the Saints' Feast days. Apparently, protestants think it wasn't "God-breathed".
I've seen a screenshot of the index of that Bible.
Also acts 8:26-40
What Bible ISBN number do you recommend for highlighting and marking up ?
Here you go! - amzn.to/4dCgBDl
If you talk to every Protestant it seems the Holy Spirit is confuse because each one of them is telling that they are being touch by the Holy Spirit but they have different interpretation with the scriptures that is why they are more than forty thousand Christian denomination in the world because their authority is the bible not the church. 1 Timothy 3-15
Very true!
Immediate subscribe, brother. 👍🇻🇦
Welcome aboard!
Maybe Paul wasn't taking about the NT at all? Maybe just the old testament?

thanks Andrew🎉
This is gold thankyou for this video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Disappointed that Ken did not quote 2nd Thessalonians' 2: 15 "So then brethren stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us , either by word of mouth or by letter" The traditions being what was handed down by the apostles and their successors and word of mouth is that which may or may not have been written in the Bible
A catechist once told me “Text without context is pretext.”
Any two people can read the same text, but without context, each can declare himself correct even though they are opposed.
The Catholic Church has always taught the correct context because they have had the teaching authority (Holy Spirit) since the canon was set.
Pretext allows for human agendas and now here we are, with 30k+ Christian denominations, each with their own interpretation of Scripture.
The Protestant rebellion makes every man his own pope!

Love you Kenny, but I absolutely cannot bring myself to highlight books and certainly not the Bible.
The most I'll do is flip down a corner of the page when I come across something thought provoking, but in the context of the Bible, every page corner would need to flipped down 😂
Ever since I saw your testimony with Marcus Grodi, I've always thought you'd be a good candidate to start a online channel.

Thanks. I understand about the marking up. Maybe a discussion notebook with annotations!! 😊
@@KennyBurchard Hi Kenny, yes that's my usual approach with the notebook.
Although I'm considering getting a simple KJV, with a note section, and marking that up. I find that using a translation such as KJV, that all if not, most Protestants would find acceptable, makes for a compelling argument.
If I can show Catholic doctrines from one of the most Protestant translations, then that ought to give people pause. The translation objection used to be a big one in decades gone by, but seems to have virtually disappeared in the last 10 years.
@@alisterrebelo9013Really blow their mind and find a KJV with all 73 books :)
I do not mark up my Bible. I would use a notebook to make notes in.
It's a great option
