I'm just going to say, and I mean this with all sincerity and humility, but your videos are some of the best Catholic apologetics material out there. Why are you not working for Catholic Answers or the Augustine Institute? I really mean that, your understanding and your no-nonsense approach to these deep, complex topics amazes me! I've only been in the Church for about a year, so I'm still trying to get my footing and at the same time defend the Church from the constant barrage of attacks from Protestants. I'm absolutely floored that your videos don't have more views. The content, narration, and video are all on point. You, my brother are being called to a higher purpose. To whom much is given, much will be required. I live in the KC area and I really hope that we can cross paths someday. Just know that I'm your number one fan and if you ever wonder if what you do matters, it does! Keep going!
To join Catholic Answers would be a huge mistake. They are a bunch of Modernist Vatican ll types that should be avoided. Stick with the Traditional Latin Mass Parishes and Priest. The Mass Of The Ages that has been said for 2000 years. The Novus Ordo Parishes are dying and on Life Support and will soon fade away in time. The Traditional Latin Mass Parishes will remain until the Second Coming no matter how small the Remnant becomes. Many Are Called But Only Few Are Chosen. As Saint Athanasius said: (They Have The Buildings But We Have The Faith Of The Apostles.) May The Lord Saturate Our Souls With The Holy Spirit. 🔥✝️🙏
Hey any chance you could do a video on Jesus in the old testament, whether you believe he/ his coming is referenced or not - or you believe that we shouldn’t view the old testament this way. I.e. the fiery furnace being the Son of Man, etc. I’m curious how the Catholic Church views how the Old and New testaments work together. Love your work, thank you.
Peter is the rock, the foundation of the church, Jesus, and Jesus is the church, to be built on the rock. Jesus wasn't the rock that He wanted to build the church on! Only Peter and his successors hold the key to heaven. No others!
Nice Catholic propaganda. Oh you Catholics. Twist here, twist there and a Peter is the rock. This scripture IS NOT about Peter. Matthew 16 does not say Peter is the rock, the pope or it does not say Roman Catholic church. Please tell me what these two scriptures mean. 1 Samuel 2:2 "there is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there ANY ROCK like our God." Can you tell me what does ANY ROCK mean? Isaiah 44:8 "do not tremble, do not. Be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses-is there any other God? No! There is NO OTHER TOCK- NOT ONE! Tell me what the last part of that text means. Specifically what does NO OTHER TOCK mean? That Daniel and Isaiah are right and God is wrong? Or does no other God true and no other rock means there are two? How about the scripture that says"He is the rock of my salvation." Is Peter the rock of your salvation? Or how about this scripture. "He is my rock and my fortress." Is this Peter too? Does the bible say Peter was given primacy? Or did you just sneak that in there? I noticed you did not quote a scripture that EXPLICITLY says that. I know of only one scripture that makes reference to anyone's primacy or being superior. Matthew 11:11 "Verily I say unto you, of them born of women, there HAS NOT risen a greater than John the Baptist." That from Jesus himself. Now if Jesus had said this about Peter, we would never hear the end of it. The church would call it icing and this and that. So not only is Peter not the rock , he was not a pope. The gospel of Luke gives the account of a "strife" amongst the apostles, Peter in cluded. So here are the questions. What was this strife about? They were contending as to who should be the greatest among them. What???? If Peter was the pope why was HE involved? If he was the pope shouldn't he have settled the dispute? Didn't the other apostles know that Peter was the pope? Better yet. How did Jesus react? Did he stand up and defend "his pope?" Did Jesus ask Peter to settle the strife? Jesus did no such thing. Lastly, why did Peter reject the gestures of Cornelius. He told him to "get up I am just a man.? Are those the words or actions of a pope? Or did Peter not feel like being a pope at that moment? Please respond accordingly.
@@sulongenjop7436 yes, that's what the bible says. That the natural man, which you are, can not receive the things of the spirit of God because they are foolishness to him. Just like you say, it's nonsense. See the bible doesn't lie, you just confirmed it.
@@sulongenjop7436 no, you're not the first one to pull that lie. Tell me is the God of the OT the same God of the NT? Well I just got done watching your apologist using the book of Daniel and some to try to prove that Peter is the rock of Matthew 16. So what's up? So according to Samuel and Isaiah there is no other rock. So if the OT rock is different from the NT then his assertion is wrong. Truth is there is ONLY one rock and that is Christ. Both OT and NT are in accord. Here is the NT. The last part of 1 Corinthians 10:4 "for they all drank of that spiritual ROCK that followed them and THAT ROCK was Christ." So go ahead put your Catholic spin on it. One last thing. What and who is this scripture talking about? It says "He is the Rock of my salvation." Who is the He in this scripture? Peter or Christ? How about "He is my rock and my fortress." Same questions. These are NT testament scriptures. What say you now? I just gave you all these scriptures. And what do you and your church give? "Upon THIS rock." Peter is a THIS?
The question is how do we know that the seat of Peter is passed down in succession? At the second coming of Christ does the pope still hold the powers to rule?
Well, not everythis in the bible. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 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. One of those things passed down is the succession of the Apostles especially peter the early church fathers testify to this. When Christ returns there will be no need for a Pope. The Pope is in charge until christ returns
@I Miss Christendom I think u r right about peter. However, Christ has come at 70ad. Mt16 28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mt24 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Rev.22 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Nope. The original Greek confirms that petros would be considered the same as Petra, just masculine. And in Aramaic, the word used to call Peter rock translates the exact same.
@@bobizzle1605 not so. And reject the false texts that wescott n hort pushed n anything else that's contrary to truth. So you say without peter there's no salvation hope or church? Bunk. Christ is our focus n no pagan idol
@@bobizzle1605 I'll prove it. Bible says every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus is the Christ is not of God and anti Christ. So this revelation is the foundation. Same as peters
Peter is the rock but as a foundation of the body which is the church Peter and the apostles are one rock one body with its head which is jesus. A foundation of christ is the rock because head and body is one rock. It really doesn't prove the catholic position of Peter being the head.
Listen to yourself going in circles to try to disprove that the Catholic Church is the ONE Church established by Jesus. “Head and body is one rock”? What are you even saying? A rock is a rock, it does not have a body or head. “And I tell you, you are Peter (which means rock), and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” There is ONE HOLY AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Like it or not, you need to accept the truth and stop playing word gymnastics to avoid becoming Catholic. Jesus established ONE church…all these Protestant denominations and “non denominational” churches. You all have no authority. Wake up.
@@SuperFernandinho7 one church one body and ONE head...peter is a foundation of the body as jesus says. You are peter The Rock and upon this rock I build my church (body).. thats not a head
The guy is giving you the run around. That is the way they explain the rapture. Christ can't come to get his church because it would be his second coming. His feet cannot touch the Earth's atmosphere and from space Christ raptures his church. So Jesus would return three times in their mind but can't admit it. Believe it or not that is how Calvary Chapel explains the rapture. Same thing here. They can't take Jesus at his word.
@Bruce Wayne no I'm not the rock can be the foundation of the body or the body itself or the head...peter is referred to as the foundation of The body of Christ...christ didn't make peter the head of anything ..

I had never heard Matthew 16:18 given in context with prophesy from Isaiah and Daniel, this makes so much more sense now!
Nice work. The connection of Matt 16 to Daniel is tremendous. A perfect line of logic and profetic revelation/dissection.
Some of the best apologetics videos online, well done
Another awesome video 👍 I can almost hear James White screeching incoherently in the background 😂
I have watched this video twice
It is so good and full of knowledge I need to watch it again with Bible in hand
Thank you so much
9:00 gave me a good chuckle
"But since Peter was not identifying as female that day, a masculine form of Petra had to be used" 😂😂

I think he would say they are in Schism. Nevertheless, priests are validly ordained and all 7 Sacraments are also valid.
