As an ex-Protestant, I really struggled to understand why appealing to Mary could benefit me when I could approach God directly. But, much prayer, experience and time revealed to me that I could not master my weaknesses and failures nor acquire the graces I so desired. I realized that I needed the help of additional intercession. Asking Mary to pray for me was the obvious choice. I began to say the Rosary - regularly and in a disciplined way. After some time, I began to notice significant changes in me. Gradually I began to recognize Mary as a gift of God to us Christians. She does indeed intercede for us and God hears and honors our appeals to her.
May I ask why you need Mary to interceed for you? Do you think God will not answer you or would respond faster if you asked Mary for “help” because all we need is God! He can do it all and do it all alone.
@melissaa6532 remember the wedding of Canah? Mary told Jesus that the people ran out of wine, what did He respond? It is not my time yet. She told the people to do whatever He said, and Jesus went out of the Father's schedule to call it someway, just to please His Holy Mother, and He only did it for Her, nobody else. Why? You may ask, well, He being a perfect man followed the law perfectly, so He honored His Father and His Mother perfectly, He could not let Her look bad in front of all the people. Now, even after His resurrection He is still fully man, therefore He is still the Son of Mary, why do you think He would stop honoring Her? And She, being our loving mother, wouldn't it be nice to have Her asking Him in our behalf to go out of His way to help us get closer to Him? And if our goal in life is to follow and imitate Jesus in everything, why not also in honoring His Holy Mother.
As a protestant believer, I'm definitely taking down notes for my family. For they can see the truth of The Holy Apostolic Catholic teachings... Thank u so much, & God bless you all 🙏🏼💯
Take the notes. That’s helpful. But as you and you family are in this time of transition, be sensitive to them. Be the most loving person you can be. Pray with them , read scripture together, etc. but avoid arguments at all costs. Explain if they ask a legitimate question, but stop the conversation if it’s turning into an argument. I had to learn the hard way.
@@HeavnzMiHome yes thank u, even though I'm not baptized a Catholic yet, but I'm Catholic at heart that's why I say I'm a ex Protestant, but technically I'm still a Protestant cant wait till im a baptized in the Catholic Church. but yeah I appreciate your knowledge, & advice God bless u
@@danpozzi3307 i grew up a protestant Christian, & we never really stuck to One Church. So my dad bounced around alot, we went to Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Methodist churches, Baptist Churches. But that actually helped me see the truth when I got older, bc I remember all the diff churches we would go to, then yrs later we would change churches . and my dad would say this church was doing falsehood, that it's not a good church, so as I got older that's what helped me see the problem in protestantism. So when I became an adult I learned more, that Assemblies of God believed in things I didn't know the Methodist didn't believed in, I didn't know Pentecostals taught diff things. Then i realized these churches are not just teaching diff things, they have a totally diff Gospel. All these churches have salvation issue differences, I basically saw the problem with protestantism 1st. then I started studying other religions, and helped me see Catholicism was Biblical 100% It was the scriptures that I couldn't deny anymore, I just finally realized I had the wrong interpretation of the scriptures, & I saw that sola scriptura is a self refuting argument💯 But did that answer your question my friend
@@danpozzi3307 and basically I could add as a adult who never married when I came back to the faith I used to believe the Baptist Church was true. cuz I left Christianity, and became an atheist, so when i came back to christianity I believed the Baptist Church was the true church. but I never truly committed myself to a church, as an adult. growing up protestantism just messed me all up so bad, I just became an atheist most my life, and I believe that was because of protestantism, I realize that there's no way God has all this confusion for his church. that this is all man-made religions, that Jesus wasn't real to me, because it was just too much confusion for me I couldn't see the truth. So I believe that God just put me through that path to see the confusion in protestantism, so when I came back to the faith all I wanted to do was study to find that 1st church, & be just like the first Christians.💯
Mary's song of praise to the Lord. "My very being magnifies the lord, my spirit rejoice on account of God my Savior, because He looked upon the humble station of His servant. For behold from now on all generations will bless me, because the Almighty did great things for me. And His name is Holy, and His mercy is for generation after generation with those who fear Him. He did mighty deeds with His arm, he scattered the proud with their understanding hearts: He pulled down rulers from thrones and He raised up the lowly, He filled those who hungered with goods and sent away empty those who were rich. He helped his child israel, by remembering mercy, just as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever." Luke 1:46-55.
New to the channel. Glad I came across it because I just learned a lot also I enjoyed watching. I’m a Catholic myself who also wants to learn apologetics. God Bless 🙏🏼
Yeah it is, I am always amazed, I got really lukewarm over the past couple years. got the itch to listen to one of Peter Kreeft's books, and it was so satisfying, but I still needed more. I came back to the Church, kicking and screaming, and yet so full and grateful for God reaching out to me, even when I am a crappy child.
1 Timothy 2:5 - "There is one God, and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." `The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.…For in him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.` "The Lord created me at the beginning of His work, the first of His acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the Earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth- when He had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When God established the heavens, I was there, when He drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He made firm the skies above. When He established the fountains of the deep, when He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command and when He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him, like a master worker. I was His daily delight, rejoicing before Him always."
@@marcihf217 I believe it, I come from a Protestant background (Southern Baptist) my dad is a Pastor with years of study in Theology. so yeah I think there is some truth to that saying.
Mich mind-blowing stuff here. Dr Pitri is a blessing. Somewhere around 14:16 when he talks about Mary being the New Ark of the Covenant- and how the Jews took the Ark of the Covenant into battle- he ties this into prayers to Mary as out new weapon in battle against evil- I had never realized this- beautiful
...well, at the Lord’s Supper of the Mass which He instituted at the Last Supper, Holy Thursday, He commanded us to eat his flesh...word He used was trogo, to munch or gnaw. “Give us this day our daily bread.”
If they would know how antibiblical Roman Catholicism is - they wouldn’t! Listen to: “30 major mistakes of Catholic Church “ - unfortunately all this is t r u e ! I was Catholic for 57 years of my life until I started to read The Bible and saw that The Catholic Church is preaching… what GOD forbids!!! You better compare The BIBLE and their Catchetism-they contradict each other! Listen to : Walter Veith “ The total onslaught “ - unfortunately…. it’s t r u e !
@@kennethhoward8627 We are baptized because *Jesus told us to be baptized* and therefore it is tradition. It's literally how Jesus began his public ministry here on Earth and the last thing he told the Apostles before ascending into heaven "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you..." -Jesus (Mt. 28:19,20) It seems you think that Jesus went around doing meaningless things and commanding us to do meaningless things. Not a very defendable position I'm afraid.
@@SeanzGarage grateful for my parents who had me baptized in the Catholic Faith. And then you quote Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you... So as a child / infant when you were baptized were you a disciple of Jesus? Were you cognoscente of sin and repentance? Were you taught all that Jesus commanded? Baptism does not save you .
@@SeanzGarage At what age was Jesus baptized? Can you show any scripture where it tells you to baptize an infant? Can you provide any reasoning to baptize someone who is not capable of knowing sin and repenting of it??
Allen Lichner all that matters is that he has received his free gift of forgiveness and salvation and Paradise and eternal life, We all need to do business directly with Jesus by calling on Jesus to forgive us of all our sins past present and future sins. And ask Jesus to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Renewing our minds by god’s word daily is a life long commitment and going from being a believer to a disciple of Jesus Christ while making other disciples. Baptism always followed immediately after believing and is always full immersion in water into Christ Jesus
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 Sean, That is not all. Remember as well that Jesus gave power to His Church to forgive sins. A power not present in protestant churches and sects. Only available in Catholic and Orthodox churches. Here is why: ●JOHN 20:19-23 19. When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 20. After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ 22. When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. 23. If you FORGIVE the sins of any, they are FORGIVEN them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ The Apostle James confirms the practice of confession of sins. ●JAMES 5:14-16 14. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16. Therefore CONFESS your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. -St. Paul confirms the reception of the power to forgive sins from Christ: ●2 CORINTHIANS 5, 18-19 18. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and GAVE US the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION; 19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and ENTRUSTING TO US the message of RECONCILIATION. It is therefore a clear Catholic doctrine that the Church, from the earliest times of its existence, believed in the power to forgive sins as granted by Christ to the Apostles and passed on to their successors, by the imposition of hands. THE APOSTLES IMPOSED HANDS 1.- On the newly baptized, that they might receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost in confirmation (Acts 8:17, 19; 19:6); 2.- On those to be promoted to holy orders (Acts 6:6; 13:3; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6; Matthew 13); 3.- On others to bestow some supernatural gift or corporal benefit (Acts). The imposition of hands rite was so constantly employed that the "imposition of hands" came to designate an essential Catholic doctrine HEBREWS 6:2 2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. May God bless your discernment.
Joe Castillo Jesus Church is Jesus body on earth with Jesus as its only head. Ephesians 1:22. How do we become children of God? As many as believe in Jesus God gave the right to become children of God John 1:12. Then we are baptized into Christ Jesus body his church. Saint Peter says that we are living stones of the spiritual temple 1 Peter 2:4-10 We become a royal priesthood of believers with power to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of god unto salvation to all who believe Romans 1:16.
Brant Pitre is the best. I have studied many of his Bible studies and each one is better than the next. Studying A Case for Jesus now. The Eucharist really helped me to reverence the Mass in a whole hew way.
FACTS: Christ NEVER taught that Peter is a pope. Christ NEVER taught that Mary will go to heaven. Christ NEVER taught that Mary is a mediator/intercessor. Christ NEVER taught that Mary never sinned. Christ NEVER taught that Mary remained virgin. Christ NEVER Taught that a mere man is head of His church. Christ NEVER taught about a church named Catholic. Christ NEVER taught that we can pray to the dead. Christ NEVER taught that the dead can hear our prayers. Christ NEVER taught that anyone can change the day of worship. Christ NEVER taught to confess to a "priest" Christ NEVER Taught a priest can forgive your sins. Christ NEVER taught salvation is through a church. Christ NEVER taught to pray to, or with beads!!! >>>> Question where can I find in scripture? Indulgences? Penance? Black Pope? The Church's records tell us there were potentially three Black popes in Catholic history: Pope Victor I, who headed the church from 189-199, Pope Miltiades (311-314), and Pope Gelasius I, who was pope from 492-496 Confession booth? Purgatory? Baby baptism? December 25th Easter? Monstrance? Unmarried priest? Priest drinking wine ? Wizard hat? Mitre Kissing of statues? Burning incense to statues? Sprinkle “ so called Holy Water “ on statues and people? The use of Coptic shell decoration on baby baptism bowl? Praying to the dead? Please attach scripture of any Hebrew keeping SUNDAY as a holy day? You think this is fun right you think I have nothing better to do with my life???? You think Satan cares about you? I know he hates me…. He can use his servants as vipers Christ has given the solution….HIS WORD ! This is not personal.

@@tasiaflynn3549 Why ask adead mortal spirit alive in the heavenly realm with Jesus to pray for you when 73 books of the bible gives you the believer in God's written word the example to follow and that is NO one prays to anyone other than God . Asking Mary is the same as praying to Mary and God;s written word does not support praying to anyone other than God.
I was saying my rosary even though I was going through doubts, I asked for clarification that I was doing the right thing by praying my rosary. That was today and yesterday as well. Here I come upon this beautiful UA-cam video, and POW ALL THE ANSWERS ARE THERE! Wow amazing thank you God the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Thank you so much, and thank you for sharing this message so quickly. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, as a Protestant, starting to read the catechism and just got done reading your book on the Eucharist. Eye opening and gave a lot of insight into the teachings. Now as I read the catechism I’m trying to understand Mary . Thank you.
I have been a huge fan of Mother Marys for over 19 years now. I thought I had heard everything there was to hear about Mother Mary. Nope! Thank you fellas! Matthew Leonard and Dr Brant Pitre you just made me fall in love with Mary and God all over again!
I have read many comments moments just now and feel that I missed the boat. Instead of seeing that the information in the interview was the whole point here, I criticized the silliness of the guys. I still don't understand it but the discussion itself was wonderful. Anything about Mary that is truthful is what I want to learn.
Also read Luisa Piccarretta’s written works on the Blessed Mother. There is a book that takes all statements on Mary into one book. Also read Mary of Agreda ‘s book on Mary( it is an autobiography) Also Fr. Roschini ‘s book on The Virgin Mary in the Writings of Maria Valtorta. They will blow your mind❤
Just now downloaded the book on Google Books. I'm a poor man who has an aversion to the act of reading and this podcast about this book caused me to spend my money. God bless you both, my Catholic Brothers.
I've listened to this again and again. It continues to feed me. Thank you Matt and Brant. Love your humour too. Blessings, love and Light to all on this site...
Just by the way. It's as though God himself knows nothing of the Catholic doctrines of Mary because... In the Bible, in both the Old and the New Testament, all Believers always pray DIRECTLY to God the Father. And in the New Testament it's always directly to God the Father, "in the name of Jesus". In fact when the disciples asked Jesus himself how to pray he said: "... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..." Matthew 6:8-9 And... "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you." Matthew 6:6 And in God's Word Jesus himself intercedes for us, not his human mother. This is exactly what it says: "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25 Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Romans 8:34 And the Holy Spirit: In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Roman 8:26 That's good enough for me. So, in conclusion, in the Bible the idea is NOT to go to the Son's human mother (or to anyone else), who then goes to the Son, who then goes to the Father with your request. No, your Heavenly Father's wish and desire is that you come DIRECTLY to Him with all your prayers and petitions. I'm not kidding. Check it out for yourself. So why go in little circles when the Father wants, and even commands, that we come directly to Him. "In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father." John 16:26-27
I don't know which file to save this...Catholic Teaching or Entertainment! You guys are wonderful and make me laugh while learning..I mean really..foot loose..Dr.Smarty Pants! Great stuff...Love being Catholic!
Matthew Leonard ..Great idea..something to look forward to..a little love, a bit of laughter, all while learning...with a little help with our Catholic friends!
❤❤Our Blessed Mother is irresistable,I beg that She is allowed to make herself known to each person inthe world, it is impossible not to love Her, and offer to do anything She wants of us and that is to give ourselves to Jesus❤❤❤❤❤
The Catholic faith is so deep and so beautiful. It's satisfying in every way; intellectually, spiritually and emotionally. Just exactly what you'd expect of a religion from a God who loves us so much that He became Incarnate. He gave us an incarnate faith. Thank you Dr. Pitre and Matthew.
The Pope is the direct successor of St. Peter. He is the lawful successor of the Pope who preceded him, until we reach St. Peter, the first Pope, chosen by Christ Himself. All the sees founded by the apostles perished or were interrupted, except the see of St. Peter alone. Where Peter is there is the True Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, which He gave authority to teach to follow the doctrine and traditions of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.
Dr Brant must make a correction on the scriptural passages that talks about Mary being queen mother reminiscent to Bathsheba in I Kings 1. So, the typing mistake was 2 Kings 2 & 2 instead of 1 Kings 1 & 2
I love Dr. Pitre...when I listen to his teaching I am always left saying ..wow! But this video deserves a super wow! I love our blessed Mother! God bless! 💕
Nathan Wilson maybe this will reveal to you how you have No Sense! Jesus said make sure in the last days that you are not deceived. Just a warning 🙏🏿🙏🏻✝️🔯🙏🏻🙏🏿
@William Cloud I would be careful here: If you are right about being the only one here with the Holy Spirit, you boast and are prideful about having something you have recieved as a gift, that was utterly unearned and unmerited. The Spirit can show up in some very unlikely places. For example, among us ghastly papists. If you are wrong, you have failed to recognize your fellow Christians; others who are also temples of the Holy Spirit. Either way, you imperil yourself.
@@gregs3220 Only a priest can execute these sacraments and they must be done correctly. Would you have any scriptural back up to this statement? No priest, no Church, no sacraments = no Grace and thus no salvation. Salvation is by Grace and has nothing to do with us being good enough or doing anything for the gift of salvation. No priest is mentioned in the new testament that is to listen to our confessions, except God. Hebrews 4:15-16
Hi there, you can stay at home instead of being seen with heretics Infamy is real. Love ❤Mary and Jesus. Say a perfect act of contrition if you fall . Sin offends Almighty God. Keep safe 🙏🙏🙏
The end of this talk is powerful. I was praying the rosary and fell asleep or, in that in between state and had a dream in which I briefly saw a beautiful icon type image of Mary staring at me. Your words that Mary was already staring at us as a mother and praying for us before we even opened our eyes as new born babies to look at our mother, that is Powerful stuff. God bless! Ave Maria!
When I was a teenager, long before my conversion to Catholism, an evangelist was whipping the crowd into a frenzy of what we viewed as worship. This was Alabama and he was trying to make the point that the Ten Commandments demanded we put God first in worship so we should get more excited and give God more applause than the Crimson Tide. I was all for spirited worship, but the moment caught me off guard because I knew he was misquoting. The Ten Commandments demand we worship ONLY God. Only. I immediately realized that there was nothing we were doing to "worship" that we didn't already do to honor, cheer, comfort or encourage living human beings. Even prayer. How many times had pastors emphasized that prayer just meant "talk to." This bothered me for a long time.
This is because worship is different than praise. Worship is done in the liturgy.. otherwise it is in vain because only when our worship is united to Christ does it actually qualify as worship!
@@joeypuvel1228 Exactly! I have been discussing this point with others but they always seem to walk away unsure. I need to utilize your reasoning to clarify that difference between praise and worship.
Diana Mitchell, more like from 3rd or 4th grade! There are ways to make the teachings to each level but they have to start young. I was a catechist for 5 year olds and I taught them more than what was in their remedial books. Never underestimate the power of young brains. Make their brains work! They are sponges! 😃🙏🏼❤️
THANK YOU FOR TELLING THE WONDERS OF MARY IMMACULATE. Most I have had the grace to know. So many are gems bestowed by GOD. BLESS HER “Fiat”, and PRAISE GOD❤ 🌹AVE MARIA🌹
For those who say they believe every word in Scripture, " For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." (Luke 1:48) Question: when was the last time you called her blessed?
A bit of a self-destructive question! "Hail Mary, full of grace......blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus" - how many times is this uttered by Christians all over the world a day???
She was the most blessed woman in history but she has passed on and her body is in the grave waiting with all the other saints for the resurrection while her spirit is in the heavenly realm along with all the spirits of the saints whose bodies are in the grave. Yes Mary was the most blessed woman but the entire new testaments focus is on her son Jesus and what He did for us. You have 20 verses in the new testament that reference Mary by name and yet not one verse to promote her past being the mother of Jesus and being the most blessed woman in history. The writers of the new testament point out the children of Mary and the brothers and sisters of Jesus and yet do not point out the amazing attributes that you ascribe to her? I call her Mary the mother of my savior , I do not call her a verb.
Tom Jenkins Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do." - St. Thomas Aquinas
Tom Jenkins One of the most formidable obstacles to the conversion of a soul is the fact that God is a hidden God: Deus absconditus. But God, in His goodness, reveals Himself, in a certain manner, through His saints, and even through fervent souls. In this way, the supernatural filters through and becomes visible to the faithful, who are thus able to apprehend something of the mystery of God . . . make no mistake, there is a sort of instinct by which souls, without clearly defining what it is they sense, are aware of this radiation of the supernatural." - Dom Jean-Baptist Chautard, p. 124-5 AN EXCERPT FROM Soul of the Apostolate
davidgs400 ...God makes Himself very easy to find “when we seek Him with all of our hearts.” Jer. 29:13. There is no mystery there...nothing mystical either (whatever that means). God desires a relationship with us...always has, & He makes it very easy to find Him. Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world God’s qualities-His eternal power & divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Thankfully He hasn’t made Himself hidden from those He has chosen.
Patrick Montgomery I have heard too many dumb people on UA-cam but you take the prize of the dumbest of all I’m sure you know that the Catholic Church is the one true church instituted by Jesus Christ himself but you are either a homosexual or atheist or Protestant or really just oblivious to anything Holy
I am a Pre Vatican II cradle Catholic. I need this more than most I suppose. Everything I had learned about worshipping as a young boy was thrown away with the advent of Vatican II. In my late 30s, I returned to school and have an advanced degree from a Jesuit university in Pastoral Studies. I left feeling like someone had pulled apart their Father’s watch but had no clue how to reassemble it. The pages of scripture, once a complete Bible, were left spread across the floor of the classroom. Thank you Brant. Especially for the lifelong commitment you have made and the years of work you’ve done to help others understand the Faith.
Stay away from those Jesuits my friend. They will mess with your mind and undermine your true faith in Jesus and the true Catholic Church that HE established. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻

Dr. Brant Pitre, you just strengthen my Catholic Faith, These facts is not or will never be discussed in the church. I hear lots of Protestant pastors on TV, and I don't know how to defend my belief as a Catholic, you're God sent and from the virgin mother. Thank you.
In my experience, life has a way of helping us understand why intercession is so precious. Think if those you have orayed for because they were not ready to stand before God. Even ourselves at times. If I get to heaven and Mary was a lie, I will be angry and confused. As a woman, Ive desperately needed to identify my strength and find my strength in kindness, forgiveness, femininity. God loves women, female, he gave us the gift to bear the ultimate fruit of the proverbial tree of life
Hebrew Catholic here; I got convince when you illustrated Bathsheba..as Queen Mother , David's mother. Mary is the Queen Mother and Jesus is King! She is daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, and Spouse of the Spirit. Baruch HaShem!
Are you saying Mary is an adulteress. because she is the Spouse of Joseph and there is no queen of heaven , she is a spirit like all spirit she has no title or is she Omnipresent . she is dead only her spirit remains in heaven .
@@MrCripster76 Again They were mocking him hi there king of the Jews Because he claimed to be the Christ and was to rule over the Kingdom . Christ was the savior of the world for those who excepted him as their savior . Mary she was a woman that God used to bring his son into the world that was her mission , Nothing else
Blessed Mother is Jesus biggest fan ! And appeared to a million people in Egypt in 1968, preventing a war, said yes to God’s plan, hold a special place in heaven !😊👍❤️
Warm greetings from Australia 🦘 Brilliant podcast. Thank you very much Matthew and Brant. WOW!! Just what wayward, truth seeking Catholics need (and desperately). You are saving souls. God bless you both in your ministries.
Thank You Matthew Leonard ... Good to see you again .. we met on a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem back in May of this year with One of my Favorite Priest, Fr Donald Calloway and Actor (Jesus), Jim Caviesal .... What a Trip Matthew !!! and Also i wanted to especially let you folks know that i met Dr. Brant Pritre 3 years ago on Catholic Productions Online .... Dr Brant Pitre has been a huge help for me "My Rock" on my Sunday Readings ... I refuse to skip a Sunday Readings without checking in with Dr. Pitre at Catholic Productions .... Thank You Dr. Pitre and Mathew Leonard for such an Exciting Video Now I'm a Fired Up Catholic .... haha !!! .... Buying the Book now !!!
Had the same experience as Brant..cradle Catholic, devoted to Mary as a child, became ambivalent in my teens, but eventually went back to Her as I grew older...She's more real to me now that at any point in my life...and I love that comment, Mary as the new Rachel :)

I can hardly wait for your next one together. I didn't realize how much I needed to hear all the joy, banter, and laughter that was so spontaneous. And all the while you were showing us our Beautiful Holy Mother! What an important and delightful video you have gifted us.
Christ NEVER taught that Mary will go to heaven. Christ NEVER taught that Mary is a mediator/intercessor. Christ NEVER taught that Mary never sinned. Christ NEVER taught that Mary remained virgin.
I instantly bought the books on the Eucharist and Mary after watching this! My mind was blown to the max 😂, have to note that I'm coming from a heavily anti-Catholic past. It's these last few months that I'm really being confronted with how wrong I am in a lot of things; it actually grieves me a lot. Please pray for me that I may be guided towards the truth, I still struggle with a lot of topics; but I really get drawn more and more into Catholicism.
Still struggling with grasping Mary by heart, but nonetheless I've become Catholic! Both books are really amazing, I can highly recommend them! (and always do :D)
I read the visions by st Anna catherine Emmerich. She had many Re Mary and those last hours during the passion. It’s detailed and fascinating. Much of what she states Re the shroud, were factually revealed in the shroud we know today… revealed to us through science 2000 years later.
Hey @@mustardseed123 right now I am doing great. I've finally sort of settled. It's been a really difficult time, especially since I was shunned by my previous congregation and I lost a lot of people I love. That said, I don't see me ever going back to the way I was. I've really learned a lot, and I am happy that I'm a baptised into the Catholic Church! It took me some effort to find a good parish, but I found a real good parish with loving people and also a priest who takes things seriously. Unfortunately I also encountered some where things weren't taken serious. I think two things really helped me: 1. Understanding that having fellowship is of absolute vital importance, and really doing my best to get to know the people. 2. To not be over-anxious and having anxiety as a basis to study things, but also not to let those nagging doubts or difficulties remain; read some good books on topics that are difficult, it will really help when done with the right motivation. I could say a whole lot more, feel free to ask more if there's anything specific, or if you wish prayers, or whathever 🙂
Wow! Simply, WOW!!! The interaction (and LOVE) between these two gentlemen is truly inspiring. Looking forward to much more. Praise be to the Lord! Y'all Be Safe!
We too love listening to all his episodes and it's just short, sweet and to the point. They answer exactly what we were questioning but had no proper answers. May God bless him in his ministry and may He reach many more looking out for answers IN THE BIBLE.
Amen, Amen!!! Thank you Holy Spirit for this beautiful explanation of the significance of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, and Our Lord's gift of her to us all. Thank you Jesus ❣️ 📿🙏 Great book Brant!
16:50 - "A lot of Protestants aren’t familiar with this because it’s in the Catholic OT and a lot of Catholics aren’t familiar with this because it’s in the Catholic OT!" that was epic :)
@The Lesser Confessor We need both sacred writings and sacred tradition as stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions WE TAUGHT YOU, whether by speech or by letter. That seems to be saying the past tense, not future tense as in new traditions will be taught. and the authority of the Church that Jesus created on the rock of Peter.Matt 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on YOU , I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Hmmmn could be something wrong there? Eph 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. It is far easier to believe in Peter being the rock as long as you ignore Ephesians. Peter is part of the foundation of the church along with the other apostles and prophets.
Constantine's church is a pagan mish mash of many gods, idols, costumed occult rituals, superstition, and lies. For centuries popes have burned or hidden any knowledge that might empower the people to self-realization without the interference of church authority. The Vatican is a den of thieves, the mother of harlots, the Synagogue of Satan. There is no trinity of three equal gods in the Bible, no purgatory, no divine goddess Mary people should pray to. The church burned Jan Hus to the stake, and they have killed millions of innocent people in Crusades, Inquisitions, and holy wars to this day. Scripture tells us not to kill, but Christians have been on a killing spree since the Council of Nicaea.
Thank you Dr, Pitre for all you do. You are a gift to the Catholic Church. I learn so much from watching all your videos. God bless you and Blessed Mother loves you.
Emily Saliling you won’t find any mention of the blessed mother. . Mary is the mother of Jesus who received her free gift of eternal life and salvation and Paradise. Luke 1:46-48 Have you received your free gift of forgiveness and salvation and eternal and Paradise? Call on Jesus directly right now and have eternal life Luke 23:34-44
@william cloud how can you even assume you know the mind of God. Here is what we do know. God started a church and gave it Authority and he would recognize it in heaven and on Earth. Since the church recognizes the importance of Mary and that God recognizes his Church's Authority I think I'll stick with that
I read the book before seeing this and this was so much fun to listen to, I felt it deepened the connections on a spirit so level even more. You guys are funny too.

Oddly, Protestants and Evangelicals don't question why they call each other brother or sister, even though there is no familial relationship between them.
@@joanlynch5271 My comment was limited to whether or not Jesus had blood brothers, e.g. whether Mary had other children. Calling priests "father" is another topic altogether.
Perhaps that is based, among other verses, on John 1 where the apostle declares all believers adopted by God. It would follow that if we have a common Father, we are brother and sister.
So happy we have such podcasts ,thank u so much.People such as Dr Petrie,plus Bishop Baron ,Scott Hahn etc,etc ,etc.We need these talks ,they r so informative,but I advice people to read,read,read as when I was coming into this WONDERFUL CHURCH I couldn't get enough information, read your bible, also."City of God,"mother Mary Agreda,Anne Catherine Emmerich volumes ,more, Saints, Church Scholars,educate yourself along the way,confession weekly,mass daily ,it can be done.God bless u all ,soo grateful.Thanks Dr Petrie.❤🙏
Just saw this video. Amazing, never heard this much detail about Mary, thank you for sharing this! I purchased the book and can’t wait to follow the context in the Bible.
I love your laughter in this conversation😀. I’m SOOO happy that Our Mother, is getting pulled out of the shadows. This is lively, and contains many scriptural references . Thanks for this, and Please continue to bring Her fully front as she leads the faithful 🕊️🙏🛐✝️

Yep, my mind was blown. I thought I knew a lot about the topic. I'm glad to say, I didn't. I enjoyed this very much and am more determined than ever to pray the Rosary every day!
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx I converted from the Protestant faith and at first, I had concerns about Mary being too central to the Catholic teaching. But then I had an experience where I felt Jesus saying to me that all that he had was mine, so therefore, his mother was mine, too. After that, I felt like I had been welcomed into Jesus' family and I could know and enjoy and love all the people he did, particularly Mary and St. Joseph.
Wonderful quote from Pope Benedict at 7:16 Very helpful and inspiring at 7:35 Awesome at 9:4410:58 2 Maccabees chapter 2 tells us what happened to the Ark of the Covenant 16:43
I just want to say thank you two for this video discussion, open my eyes to why Catholics believe what they believe. Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” The Holy Spirit gave me the above verses as I was watching this video. May the grace of our Heavenly Father be with you two, and may the testimony of Jesus Christ be with you both always. (Acts 4:10-12) 10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye (you)crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. That means only through Jesus Christ do we obtain salvation and eternal life. It’s only through his name, not Mary, all authority was given to Jesus when he died and was resurrected by God. We don’t worship Mary but we worship Jesus. Mary is respected and honored, but shouldn’t be worshipped, or even worshipped over Jesus. In Genesis, Father God, Holy Spirit and Jesus created man. Eve and Mary did not breathe life through their nostrils and man became a living creature. Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Absolutely amazing that God chose a women Mary, to be the first person to have Jesus dwelling in her. Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; It was God’s plan for his people from the beginning to have a place for God to dwell. Through history women were looked a pond as lesser than man. But God used a women to express his love towards us. Praise God, that Jesus doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands but he lives within us. What an amazing revelation of the ark of the covenant dwelling inside of us that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Revelations 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Men couldn't touch the Ark of the Covenant, it was forbidden, they would die. Joseph knew this, and he had been revealed that what Mary was carrying in her womb was from the Holy Spirit, so I assumed he wouldn't think! about having sexual relations with her. He was Jew he knew very well how to act in that situation.
Lore , Mary was not the Ark of the covenant there is only one Ark . and mary was not it . where in the scriptures do you get that from . Mary was a woman that God used to bring Christ into the world that all she was stop telling lies like Dr Pitre he is the messenger of satan because it is not scriptural it is fantasy and something God did not have on his mind or it would be written in the scriptures
@@donaldcooley897 You think there was only one covenant? The new covenant required a new ark - Mary. I pray your hatred for Catholicism doesn't blind you to truths that would strengthen your relationship with our God, the Holy Trinity. Jesus is the one mediator to the Father. Mary is our mediator to the Son. If Jesus is the head of the church, Mary is the neck. Don't disrespect your Mother.
IowaRonin You have been listening to False teachers Brant Pitre and reading Catholic dogmas and marian doctrines and Mariology garbage that Is not in the scriptures . God never intended for Mary to be any thing but a woman that Brought the son of God in to the world Gal. 4 : 4 ; that all she was She has no mission on earth or in Heaven she is dead only here spirit is in heaven with all spirits and there is not one above the other they are all one in Christ show me in the scriptures where she has any thing to do with the New Covenant and interceding or mediator to Christ . The scriptures say that no one comes to Christ except God brings them , is says that many times in the scriptures . She is not mention in the New Testament letters to the Church In fact Acts 1 : 14 is the last time she is mentioned . Where do you get that garbage that she is the neck of the Church . it is like I said she has nothing todo with the Church . she has nothing to do with salvation of sinners , she has nothing to do with our relationship with Christ , she has nothing todo with Christians worshiping God . we don`t need a dead woman to lead us to Christ every thing you say in your comment is a lie from the pits of hell . You need to get saved so you will know the spiritual truth of the bible .
IowaRonin , as for the New Covenant . There is only one New Covenant there is no new Ark where did you get that from . Christ mediated the New Covenant He is the High Priest , he is the Lamb with out blemish . His blood is at the throne of God to Cover our sin so we can stand righteous before God . Mary is no where in the pictures . Rev. 11 : 19 , Heavens open and there was seen in his temple or tabernacle his body the ark of his testament or testimony the blood of the New Testament . there was no other Ark mary was not an Ark she was a vessel that God used to bring his son Christ into the world . She has nothing to do with our redemption . Redemption comes by the blood of Christ . so put mary in her Rightful place she was the mother of Christ and his brother and sisters that all she was
Offering flowers, bowing to, praying to, kissing her picture/statue is not worship according to catholic theology. We offer flowers to our heroes, we talk to our dead relatives when we visit their graves, we kiss the pictures of our love ones...but we are not worshiping them.
Mary is venerated, she is not a subject of worship. Venerated means respected highly. Worship is a thing unto its own and the difference between veneration and worship is quite clear to Catholics. The nuance of that seems to be unclear to Protestants and the others, such as Baptists.
@MrDoyle07 because you are playing word games like bill Clinton. It's worship and you aren't supposed to contact the dead...but then you pretend like you don't know what dead means.
@@MrDoyle07 quote---Mary is venerated, she is not a subject of worship... unquote What are the 4 dogmas of Mariology? Catholic Mariology - Wikipedia The four Marian dogmas of Mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption form the basis of Mariology. However, a number of other Catholic doctrines about the Virgin Mary have been developed by reference to sacred scripture, theological reasoning and church tradition. >>>Why do Catholics pray to Mary? Catholics do not pray to Mary as if she were God. Prayer to Mary is memory of the great mysteries of our faith (Incarnation, Redemption through Christ in the rosary), praise to God for the wonderful things he has done in and through one of his creatures (Hail Mary) and intercession (second half of the Hail Mary). It still admits they pray to Mary!!! ----Who is the mother of the rosary? Our Lady of the Rosary (Latin: Beatae Mariae Virginis a Rosario), also known as Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, is a Marian title. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, formerly known as Feast of Our Lady of Victory and Feast of the Holy Rosary is celebrated on 7 October in the General Roman Calendar. It is widely believed that in 1214 St. Dominic had a vision of Mary. She is said to have presented him with the rosary, both the beads and the prayers to be prayed. Dominic had a tremendous devotion to Mary and the rosary, which he promoted wherever he traveled to preach. If it was biblical, why invent it??? >>>Only Jesus and the Holy Spirit are qualified to be our intercessors. (Romans 8:26,34). There is only one priest among men who can can go to God in his own right and intercede for us, who himself does not need an intercessor. >>>************** Venerate comes from the Latin root venerārī, which has the various meanings of "to solicit the good will of," "to worship," "to pay homage to," and "to hold in awe." That root is related to Venus, which, as a proper noun, is the name of the Roman goddess of love and beauty. >>> @mikekayanderson408 4months ago By addressing her - Mary - you are praying to her. “ come to my help” praying to her! “ I place my eternal salvation in your hands”. Praying to her. Please stop the charade! You pray to Mary. You elevate her to a divine position. You praise her. You worship her. Please stop denying this fact. I went into a cave at the roadside when I was travelling around the Republic of Ireland. It was full of statues of Mary and others saints too I guess The odd cross. Lots of notes and letters left behind. Mostly to Mary. It did not look in the least bit Christian but like some pagan shrine - it gave me the creeps. You couldn’t drive very far without seeing a statue of Mary. In the Catholic Church Mary has replaced Christ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CCC #2679 Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope. Yet, Catholics insist they do not pray to Mary!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I really appreciate your help to have a more biblical understanding of Mary. I love what Augustine says about Mary, but not many early Church Fathers say she was caught up. I do have some questions, even though I really enjoyed listening to this. I do love to know that Catholics really are thinking theologically and biblical rather than what I was taught - just holding to tradition without thinking through it. But here are some questions I have after watching this. Where does it say the woman was caught up to heaven in Revelation? (29:55) She flies to the wilderness (v. 14) and fled to the wilderness (v. 5) and the earth helps the woman (v. 16). Also the child is caught up to God and his throne (v. 5). But what about the woman? And I wonder if there is a lot of language about Jesus in the New Testament that alludes the Ark of the Covenant in the old testament. Such as how Jesus is the mercy seat (Romans 3:25). So maybe the fact the language Luke puts forward of Mary alluding to the Ark of the Covenant is because she is carrying the manifestation of God. So there would be no doubt that Jesus is God. And concerning the word "until" I wonder how Luke uses it the majority of the time in other places of his gospels. Luke 13:35 seems to identify something not happening until something else happens. I sure hope that that people would be able to spiritual see and know Jesus when they come to a place they can say from their heart "blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord!" And the word "until" can be translated to other words right? And how come Luke didn't explain that Mary took that vow in in Numbers 30. He quotes others old testament passages more clearly in other places of his writings, so why not here if it is such an essential doctrine!?
The laughter you both bring is contagious. Love it! An eye opener for me is how the rosary is symbolic of Mary as the ark of the new covenant in leading us into battle as the original ark did. As was the virginity law in Numbers. I have not read the book, yet, but will. Thank you both for leading us all into a deeper truth. God bless.
@William Cloud So Jesus on earth wasn't God, what a demonic blasphemy. He either wasn't God or he was split into two persons. You just rejected the Trinity because you dislike Catholicism. You can't say Jesus is God without saying Mary was the mother of God.
@William Cloud Did Jesus start being God after he was born? That's the Adaptionist heresy, very close to the Nestorian heresy. You know what, let's make this short and easy. When God says that he is "the first and the last" (Isaiah 44,6), could he theoretically say in the same sentence that he was dead?
@William Cloud Now you're denying that she was his mother at all? 😂 You're obviously new, that's why you're scared to answer my question. Read the Bible.
I need to process this. I was baptized Catholic, but could never understand the Mary thing. It seemed like mythology to me. I’m now Lutheran. It is really hard to trust tradition. But I’ll give it another go.
Jesus established the Catholic Church. He promised us that He would be with His Church and us until the end of time. On the night of the Last Supper, Jesus prayed to His Father that we would be united with Him as one, just as He and the Father are one. He left the Holy Spirit to protect His Church from error. The Catholic Church cannot teach anything that is in error in terms of faith and morals. Teaching Mary as the Mother of God, her perpetual virginity, her queenship in Heaven, are dogmas. They are without error.
We never trust tradition over the word of God. We are not to waste time on Mary. We honor her but even Mary would not want us devoted to her. Our devotion needs to be on Jesus period. We don’t have time nor should we take or make time reconciling mary and please don’t talk to her or sing to her. I am Catholic. As a catholic the Eucharist is our foundation and what Jesus did for us at the cross. We can make anything make sense if we try hard enough. If the church says mary is assumed into heaven then she is but she is not to be worshiped. She is not our advocate, our helper, our life , as so many prayers make her out to be. She can be Queen , or ark of the covenant, our mother, but she is still one of us. God is adamant in all of scripture that we are to come to him! Always
@@MarybethWuenschel Why doesn’t the church remove author Richard Rohr? I read his book and I don’t think he confesses the creeds anymore. At least they could debate him openly. I haven’t seen anything on UA-cam in this regard-I’m still on the sidelines with the Catholic Church. I’m praying for open communion someday.
@@MarybethWuenschelI see where you are coming from. However, God gave us Mary as our mother and queen. The Marion apparitions are to bring us to her Son Jesus. When I honor Mary, it doesn’t feel like a waste of time. It feels like I am appreciating one of the most wonderful gifts from God. I can’t love Mary more than Jesus does.
The information, THIS TRUTH is a magnificent lesson. It is easy to follow, exhillerating, precious!! Praise be to our Blessed Trinity and our Blessed Mother Mary.
It amazes me how far some protestants will go to deny scripture as it has traditionally been understood. "Behold your mother" was Jesus's last commandment, while dying on the cross He gave her to us as our mother. That is one of the most beautiful passages of scripture. While dying for OUR sins, He loved us so much he gave His mother as our own.
Behold your mother" was Jesus's last commandment, while dying on the cross He gave her to us as our mother. That certainly sounds good but at what point was John ever a symbol of the world. Jesus gave His mother to John not you and I as Mary is a mortal born with a sin nature and used by God to bring Jesus into the world . Jesus giving a mortal to the world does nothing as Mary has no Godly powers.
@bobloblawb2593 I'm not catholic but I can answer that one. Mark 3:33-35. If we are brothers than by extension she would be our mother. It's a question of relation, not divinity
@bobloblawb2593 If Jesus, been God, became our brother by adopting a human nature from Mary's body, then, it's only normal that she became our mother since she was given tu us by Jesus himself. Don't worry; you are not being forced to accept her. Rest assured that Jesus would never force anybody to acept His mother as your mother, the same way that He didn't forced anyone to follow Him in John 6:66. It was not necessary for John to be or become a symbol of the world in order to accept Mary as his mother
Thank you Mr. Matthew and Dr. Pitre,,,thank you for the lessons learnt from both of you,,,it's very much enlightenment for my heart, mind and soul,and very happy that I could now answer properly questions from my son and daughter,,,I loved more my CATHOLIC FAITH!,,, GOD BLESS US ALL!,,, ❤️🙏❤️

As an ex-Protestant, I really struggled to understand why appealing to Mary could benefit me when I could approach God directly. But, much prayer, experience and time revealed to me that I could not master my weaknesses and failures nor acquire the graces I so desired. I realized that I needed the help of additional intercession. Asking Mary to pray for me was the obvious choice. I began to say the Rosary - regularly and in a disciplined way. After some time, I began to notice significant changes in me. Gradually I began to recognize Mary as a gift of God to us Christians. She does indeed intercede for us and God hears and honors our appeals to her.
That's it! Exactly. So happy you had that experience. I pray my Baptist friends will discover the same. God bless you.
Now we are Christians, but when you were protestant we were pagans and idolatrs?
AMEN!!! 100% agree! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
May I ask why you need Mary to interceed for you? Do you think God will not answer you or would respond faster if you asked Mary for “help” because all we need is God! He can do it all and do it all alone.
@melissaa6532 remember the wedding of Canah? Mary told Jesus that the people ran out of wine, what did He respond? It is not my time yet. She told the people to do whatever He said, and Jesus went out of the Father's schedule to call it someway, just to please His Holy Mother, and He only did it for Her, nobody else. Why? You may ask, well, He being a perfect man followed the law perfectly, so He honored His Father and His Mother perfectly, He could not let Her look bad in front of all the people. Now, even after His resurrection He is still fully man, therefore He is still the Son of Mary, why do you think He would stop honoring Her? And She, being our loving mother, wouldn't it be nice to have Her asking Him in our behalf to go out of His way to help us get closer to Him? And if our goal in life is to follow and imitate Jesus in everything, why not also in honoring His Holy Mother.
As a protestant believer, I'm definitely taking down notes for my family. For they can see the truth of The Holy Apostolic Catholic teachings... Thank u so much, & God bless you all 🙏🏼💯
Take the notes. That’s helpful. But as you and you family are in this time of transition, be sensitive to them. Be the most loving person you can be. Pray with them , read scripture together, etc. but avoid arguments at all costs. Explain if they ask a legitimate question, but stop the conversation if it’s turning into an argument. I had to learn the hard way.
@@HeavnzMiHome yes thank u, even though I'm not baptized a Catholic yet, but I'm Catholic at heart that's why I say I'm a ex Protestant, but technically I'm still a Protestant cant wait till im a baptized in the Catholic Church.
but yeah I appreciate your knowledge, & advice
God bless u
Any update? What protestant religion were you in and what convinced you to take up Catholicism?
@@danpozzi3307 i grew up a protestant Christian, & we never really stuck to One Church.
So my dad bounced around alot, we went to Assembly of God, Pentecostal, Methodist churches, Baptist Churches.
But that actually helped me see the truth when I got older, bc I remember all the diff churches we would go to, then yrs later we would change churches .
and my dad would say this church was doing falsehood, that it's not a good church, so as I got older that's what helped me see the problem in protestantism.
So when I became an adult I learned more, that Assemblies of God believed in things I didn't know the Methodist didn't believed in, I didn't know Pentecostals taught diff things.
Then i realized these churches are not just teaching diff things, they have a totally diff Gospel.
All these churches have salvation issue differences, I basically saw the problem with protestantism 1st.
then I started studying other religions, and helped me see Catholicism was Biblical 100%
It was the scriptures that I couldn't deny anymore, I just finally realized I had the wrong interpretation of the scriptures, & I saw that sola scriptura is a self refuting argument💯
But did that answer your question my friend
@@danpozzi3307 and basically I could add as a adult who never married when I came back to the faith I used to believe the Baptist Church was true.
cuz I left Christianity, and became an atheist, so when i came back to christianity I believed the Baptist Church was the true church.
but I never truly committed myself to a church, as an adult.
growing up protestantism just messed me all up so bad, I just became an atheist most my life, and I believe that was because of protestantism, I realize that there's no way God has all this confusion for his church.
that this is all man-made religions, that Jesus wasn't real to me, because it was just too much confusion for me I couldn't see the truth.
So I believe that God just put me through that path to see the confusion in protestantism, so when I came back to the faith all I wanted to do was study to find that 1st church, & be just like the first Christians.💯
May the blessed Virgin Mary intercede for me for the healing on my terrible painful knee , leg,🦵 and foot! Amen

Mary's song of praise to the Lord. "My very being magnifies the lord, my spirit rejoice on account of God my Savior, because He looked upon the humble station of His servant. For behold from now on all generations will bless me, because the Almighty did great things for me. And His name is Holy, and His mercy is for generation after generation with those who fear Him. He did mighty deeds with His arm, he scattered the proud with their understanding hearts: He pulled down rulers from thrones and He raised up the lowly, He filled those who hungered with goods and sent away empty those who were rich. He helped his child israel, by remembering mercy, just as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever." Luke 1:46-55.
New to the channel. Glad I came across it because I just learned a lot also I enjoyed watching. I’m a Catholic myself who also wants to learn apologetics. God Bless 🙏🏼
Catholicism is an amazingly fascinating and intellectual faith.
Yeah it is, I am always amazed, I got really lukewarm over the past couple years. got the itch to listen to one of Peter Kreeft's books, and it was so satisfying, but I still needed more. I came back to the Church, kicking and screaming, and yet so full and grateful for God reaching out to me, even when I am a crappy child.
Phi S. Welcome back!
1 Timothy 2:5 - "There is one God, and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." `The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.…For in him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.`
"The Lord created me at the beginning of His work, the first of His acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the Earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth- when He had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When God established the heavens, I was there, when He drew a circle on the face of the deep, when He made firm the skies above. When He established the fountains of the deep, when He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command and when He marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside Him, like a master worker. I was His daily delight, rejoicing before Him always."

You were Baptized because of tradition-Baptism does not save anyone. Jesus paid for your sins.
@@kennethhoward8627 We are baptized because *Jesus told us to be baptized* and therefore it is tradition. It's literally how Jesus began his public ministry here on Earth and the last thing he told the Apostles before ascending into heaven "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you..." -Jesus (Mt. 28:19,20)
It seems you think that Jesus went around doing meaningless things and commanding us to do meaningless things. Not a very defendable position I'm afraid.
@@SeanzGarage grateful for my parents who had me baptized in the Catholic Faith.
And then you quote
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you...
So as a child / infant when you were baptized were you a disciple of Jesus? Were you cognoscente of sin and repentance? Were you taught all that Jesus commanded?
Baptism does not save you .
@@SeanzGarage At what age was Jesus baptized? Can you show any scripture where it tells you to baptize an infant? Can you provide any reasoning to baptize someone who is not capable of knowing sin and repenting of it??
Dr Brandt is certainly a valuable asset to our Catholic Church.
Allen Lichner , I concur!
Allen Lichner all that matters is that he has received his free gift of forgiveness and salvation and Paradise and eternal life, We all need to do business directly with Jesus by calling on Jesus to forgive us of all our sins past present and future sins. And ask Jesus to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Renewing our minds by god’s word daily is a life long commitment and going from being a believer to a disciple of Jesus Christ while making other disciples. Baptism always followed immediately after believing and is always full immersion in water into Christ Jesus
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508
Sean,
That is not all.
Remember as well that Jesus gave power to His Church to forgive sins. A power not present in protestant churches and sects. Only available in Catholic and Orthodox churches.
Here is why:
●JOHN 20:19-23
19. When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’
20. After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’
22. When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
23. If you FORGIVE the sins of any, they are FORGIVEN them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’
The Apostle James confirms the practice of confession of sins.
●JAMES 5:14-16
14. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.
15. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
16. Therefore CONFESS your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
-St. Paul confirms the reception of the power to forgive sins from Christ:
●2 CORINTHIANS 5, 18-19
18. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and GAVE US the MINISTRY of RECONCILIATION;
19. that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and ENTRUSTING TO US the message of RECONCILIATION.
It is therefore a clear Catholic doctrine that the Church, from the earliest times of its existence, believed in the power to forgive sins as granted by Christ to the Apostles and passed on to their successors, by the imposition of hands.
THE APOSTLES IMPOSED HANDS
1.- On the newly baptized, that they might receive the gifts of the Holy Ghost in confirmation (Acts 8:17, 19; 19:6);
2.- On those to be promoted to holy orders (Acts 6:6; 13:3; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6; Matthew 13);
3.- On others to bestow some supernatural gift or corporal benefit (Acts).
The imposition of hands rite was so constantly employed that the "imposition of hands" came to designate an essential Catholic doctrine
HEBREWS 6:2
2 You don’t need further instruction about baptisms, THE LAYING ON OF HANDS, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
May God bless your discernment.
Joe Castillo Jesus Church is Jesus body on earth with Jesus as its only head. Ephesians 1:22. How do we become children of God? As many as believe in Jesus God gave the right to become children of God John 1:12. Then we are baptized into Christ Jesus body his church. Saint Peter says that we are living stones of the spiritual temple 1 Peter 2:4-10 We become a royal priesthood of believers with power to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ which is the power of god unto salvation to all who believe Romans 1:16.
@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 I agree. Do you think an unrepentant sinner who belies in Once Saved Always Saves goes to heaven?
This is why I truly love the Catholic faith. It really brings me peace. Thank you for this.
Brant Pitre is the best. I have studied many of his Bible studies and each one is better than the next. Studying A Case for Jesus now. The Eucharist really helped me to reverence the Mass in a whole hew way.

Blessings, love and Light to all on this site...
Just by the way. It's as though God himself knows nothing of the Catholic doctrines of Mary because...
In the Bible, in both the Old and the New Testament, all Believers always pray DIRECTLY to God the Father. And in the New Testament it's always directly to God the Father, "in the name of Jesus". In fact when the disciples asked Jesus himself how to pray he said:
"... your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come..."
Matthew 6:8-9
And...
"But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you."
Matthew 6:6
And in God's Word Jesus himself intercedes for us, not his human mother. This is exactly what it says:
"Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."
Hebrews 7:25
Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
Romans 8:34
And the Holy Spirit:
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
Roman 8:26
That's good enough for me.
So, in conclusion, in the Bible the idea is NOT to go to the Son's human mother (or to anyone else), who then goes to the Son, who then goes to the Father with your request. No, your Heavenly Father's wish and desire is that you come DIRECTLY to Him with all your prayers and petitions. I'm not kidding. Check it out for yourself. So why go in little circles when the Father wants, and even commands, that we come directly to Him.
"In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father."
John 16:26-27

What about the Pope? Is he the Holy father?
The Pope is the direct successor of St. Peter. He is the lawful successor of the Pope who preceded him, until we reach St. Peter, the first Pope, chosen by Christ Himself. All the sees founded by the apostles perished or were interrupted, except the see of St. Peter alone. Where Peter is there is the True Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, which He gave authority to teach to follow the doctrine and traditions of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

No priest, no Church, no sacraments = no Grace and thus no salvation.
Salvation is by Grace and has nothing to do with us being good enough or doing anything for the gift of salvation. No priest is mentioned in the new testament that is to listen to our confessions, except God.

Hi there .
Aren’t the Greek and Russian orthodox heretics?
The end of this talk is powerful. I was praying the rosary and fell asleep or, in that in between state and had a dream in which I briefly saw a beautiful icon type image of Mary staring at me. Your words that Mary was already staring at us as a mother and praying for us before we even opened our eyes as new born babies to look at our mother, that is Powerful stuff. God bless! Ave Maria!
When I was a teenager, long before my conversion to Catholism, an evangelist was whipping the crowd into a frenzy of what we viewed as worship. This was Alabama and he was trying to make the point that the Ten Commandments demanded we put God first in worship so we should get more excited and give God more applause than the Crimson Tide. I was all for spirited worship, but the moment caught me off guard because I knew he was misquoting. The Ten Commandments demand we worship ONLY God. Only. I immediately realized that there was nothing we were doing to "worship" that we didn't already do to honor, cheer, comfort or encourage living human beings. Even prayer. How many times had pastors emphasized that prayer just meant "talk to." This bothered me for a long time.

It’s good to have you home :)
This is because worship is different than praise. Worship is done in the liturgy.. otherwise it is in vain because only when our worship is united to Christ does it actually qualify as worship!
inGods2hands May God bless you!!
@@joeypuvel1228 Exactly! I have been discussing this point with others but they always seem to walk away unsure. I need to utilize your reasoning to clarify that difference between praise and worship.
@@inGods2hands makes sense. Converts have these insights.
This needs to be heard in all the Catholic schools , kids need to learn this from 8th grade and up. Thank you and God Bless.
Yes yes 100×yes
There is only one way to heaven and is confession of your Sins to God, Acts 4:12
Diana Mitchell, more like from 3rd or 4th grade! There are ways to make the teachings to each level but they have to start young.
I was a catechist for 5 year olds and I taught them more than what was in their remedial books. Never underestimate the power of young brains. Make their brains work! They are sponges! 😃🙏🏼❤️
THANK YOU FOR TELLING THE WONDERS OF MARY IMMACULATE. Most I have had the grace to know. So many are gems bestowed by GOD. BLESS HER “Fiat”, and PRAISE GOD❤
🌹AVE MARIA🌹
For those who say they believe every word in Scripture, " For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." (Luke 1:48) Question: when was the last time you called her blessed?
Always!
Hi John, I shed tears whenever I remember this.
A bit of a self-destructive question! "Hail Mary, full of grace......blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus" - how many times is this uttered by Christians all over the world a day???
@@kbeetles So, you make my point.
She was the most blessed woman in history but she has passed on and her body is in the grave waiting with all the other saints for the resurrection while her spirit is in the heavenly realm along with all the spirits of the saints whose bodies are in the grave. Yes Mary was the most blessed woman but the entire new testaments focus is on her son Jesus and what He did for us. You have 20 verses in the new testament that reference Mary by name and yet not one verse to promote her past being the mother of Jesus and being the most blessed woman in history. The writers of the new testament point out the children of Mary and the brothers and sisters of Jesus and yet do not point out the amazing attributes that you ascribe to her? I call her Mary the mother of my savior , I do not call her a verb.
Dr. Pitre's book held my attention from first word to last, with pauses to ponder in wonder and gratitude. He must surely be blessed! 🙏
I’m a cradle Catholic and this totally opened my mind
Tom Jenkins
Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do."
- St. Thomas Aquinas
Tom Jenkins
One of the most formidable obstacles to the conversion of a soul is the fact that God is a hidden God: Deus absconditus. But God, in His goodness, reveals Himself, in a certain manner, through His saints, and even through fervent souls. In this way, the supernatural filters through and becomes visible to the faithful, who are thus able to apprehend something of the mystery of God . . . make no mistake, there is a sort of instinct by which souls, without clearly defining what it is they sense, are aware of this radiation of the supernatural."
- Dom Jean-Baptist Chautard, p. 124-5

Soul of the Apostolate
Tom Jenkins shame you really didn’t understand ... probably a low I Q
davidgs400 ...God makes Himself very easy to find “when we seek Him with all of our hearts.” Jer. 29:13. There is no mystery there...nothing mystical either (whatever that means). God desires a relationship with us...always has, & He makes it very easy to find Him. Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world God’s qualities-His eternal power & divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Thankfully He hasn’t made Himself hidden from those He has chosen.
Patrick Montgomery I have heard too many dumb people on UA-cam but you take the prize of the dumbest of all
I’m sure you know that the Catholic Church is the one true church instituted by Jesus Christ himself but you are either a homosexual or atheist or Protestant or really just oblivious to anything Holy
So grateful for all of you. A lifetime of waiting.
I am a Pre Vatican II cradle Catholic. I need this more than most I suppose. Everything I had learned about worshipping as a young boy was thrown away with the advent of Vatican II.
In my late 30s, I returned to school and have an advanced degree from a Jesuit university in Pastoral Studies.
I left feeling like someone had pulled apart their Father’s watch but had no clue how to reassemble it. The pages of scripture, once a complete Bible, were left spread across the floor of the classroom.
Thank you Brant.
Especially for the lifelong commitment you have made and the years of work you’ve done to help others understand the Faith.
Stay away from those Jesuits my friend. They will mess with your mind and undermine your true faith in Jesus and the true Catholic Church that HE established. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻

Dr. Brant Pitre, you just strengthen my Catholic Faith, These facts is not or will never be discussed in the church. I hear lots of Protestant pastors on TV, and I don't know how to defend my belief as a Catholic, you're God sent and from the virgin mother. Thank you.
Love you guys laughing together but still keep this serious discussion that is very enlightening. Thank you for information and education,
In my experience, life has a way of helping us understand why intercession is so precious. Think if those you have orayed for because they were not ready to stand before God. Even ourselves at times. If I get to heaven and Mary was a lie, I will be angry and confused. As a woman, Ive desperately needed to identify my strength and find my strength in kindness, forgiveness, femininity. God loves women, female, he gave us the gift to bear the ultimate fruit of the proverbial tree of life
Hebrew Catholic here; I got convince when you illustrated Bathsheba..as Queen Mother , David's mother. Mary is the Queen Mother and Jesus is King! She is daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, and Spouse of the Spirit. Baruch HaShem!
Are you saying Mary is an adulteress. because she is the Spouse of Joseph and there is no queen of heaven , she is a spirit like all spirit she has no title or is she Omnipresent . she is dead only her spirit remains in heaven .

Thank you for the talk. This opened my mind more about our mother mary. Godbless🙏
Had the same experience as Brant..cradle Catholic, devoted to Mary as a child, became ambivalent in my teens, but eventually went back to Her as I grew older...She's more real to me now that at any point in my life...and I love that comment, Mary as the new Rachel :)

I instantly bought the books on the Eucharist and Mary after watching this!
My mind was blown to the max 😂, have to note that I'm coming from a heavily anti-Catholic past.
It's these last few months that I'm really being confronted with how wrong I am in a lot of things; it actually grieves me a lot.
Please pray for me that I may be guided towards the truth, I still struggle with a lot of topics; but I really get drawn more and more into Catholicism.
Still struggling with grasping Mary by heart, but nonetheless I've become Catholic!
Both books are really amazing, I can highly recommend them! (and always do :D)
I read the visions by st Anna catherine Emmerich. She had many Re Mary and those last hours during the passion. It’s detailed and fascinating. Much of what she states Re the shroud, were factually revealed in the shroud we know today… revealed to us through science 2000 years later.
@@janiceervin428Thanks! I'll try to look into it :D
@@sotem3608how has your life been since becoming Catholic? Your previous post is exactly where im at at the moment
Hey @@mustardseed123 right now I am doing great. I've finally sort of settled.
It's been a really difficult time, especially since I was shunned by my previous congregation and I lost a lot of people I love.
That said, I don't see me ever going back to the way I was.
I've really learned a lot, and I am happy that I'm a baptised into the Catholic Church!
It took me some effort to find a good parish, but I found a real good parish with loving people and also a priest who takes things seriously.
Unfortunately I also encountered some where things weren't taken serious.
I think two things really helped me:
1. Understanding that having fellowship is of absolute vital importance, and really doing my best to get to know the people.
2. To not be over-anxious and having anxiety as a basis to study things, but also not to let those nagging doubts or difficulties remain; read some good books on topics that are difficult, it will really help when done with the right motivation.
I could say a whole lot more, feel free to ask more if there's anything specific, or if you wish prayers, or whathever 🙂
God bless the catholic church
Excellent explanation! I passed it on to 7 ladies! Dr Pitre is the best on NT in refencing the OT. Love it!
Wow! Simply, WOW!!! The interaction (and LOVE) between these two gentlemen is truly inspiring. Looking forward to much more. Praise be to the Lord!

We too love listening to all his episodes and it's just short, sweet and to the point. They answer exactly what we were questioning but had no proper answers.
May God bless him in his ministry and may He reach many more looking out for answers IN THE BIBLE.
Amen, Amen!!! Thank you Holy Spirit for this beautiful explanation of the significance of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, and Our Lord's gift of her to us all. Thank you Jesus ❣️ 📿🙏 Great book Brant!
What do u mean by amen, this is idolatry, ask God to save u and seal u with the Holy Spirit of truth!
16:50 - "A lot of Protestants aren’t familiar with this because it’s in the Catholic OT and a lot of Catholics aren’t familiar with this because it’s in the Catholic OT!" that was epic :)
@auggie1980tillend He refers to the books that are not in Protestant bibels
The Lesser Confessor;
Jesus is the Rock.
Jesus will smash the churches into bits of pottery with a rod of iron.
@The Lesser Confessor We need both sacred writings and sacred tradition as stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions WE TAUGHT YOU, whether by speech or by letter.
That seems to be saying the past tense, not future tense as in new traditions will be taught.
and the authority of the Church that Jesus created on the rock of Peter.Matt 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on YOU , I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. Hmmmn could be something wrong there?
Eph 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
It is far easier to believe in Peter being the rock as long as you ignore Ephesians. Peter is part of the foundation of the church along with the other apostles and prophets.
Constantine's church is a pagan mish mash of many gods, idols, costumed occult rituals, superstition, and lies. For centuries popes have burned or hidden any knowledge that might empower the people to self-realization without the interference of church authority. The Vatican is a den of thieves, the mother of harlots, the Synagogue of Satan. There is no trinity of three equal gods in the Bible, no purgatory, no divine goddess Mary people should pray to. The church burned Jan Hus to the stake, and they have killed millions of innocent people in Crusades, Inquisitions, and holy wars to this day. Scripture tells us not to kill, but Christians have been on a killing spree since the Council of Nicaea.
Thank you so much. You have increased my Faith in Holy Catholic Church. May God bless you and your future work. Praying praying 🙏
Thank you Dr, Pitre for all you do. You are a gift to the Catholic Church. I learn so much from watching all your videos. God bless you and Blessed Mother loves you.
Agree agree agree. Building up the Body in a huge way.
@Curtis Jones what's a Protestant doing on a Catholic Channel?
Zachary Van Dress right? He knows he is lost! God bless him!
Emily Saliling you won’t find any mention of the blessed mother. . Mary is the mother of Jesus who received her free gift of eternal life and salvation and Paradise. Luke 1:46-48 Have you received your free gift of forgiveness and salvation and eternal and Paradise? Call on Jesus directly right now and have eternal life Luke 23:34-44
@william cloud how can you even assume you know the mind of God. Here is what we do know. God started a church and gave it Authority and he would recognize it in heaven and on Earth. Since the church recognizes the importance of Mary and that God recognizes his Church's Authority I think I'll stick with that
I read the book before seeing this and this was so much fun to listen to, I felt it deepened the connections on a spirit so level even more. You guys are funny too.

Oddly, Protestants and Evangelicals don't question why they call each other brother or sister, even though there is no familial relationship between them.
They call each other brother and sister but never father!
@@joanlynch5271 My comment was limited to whether or not Jesus had blood brothers, e.g. whether Mary had other children. Calling priests "father" is another topic altogether.
Perhaps that is based, among other verses, on John 1 where the apostle declares all believers adopted by God. It would follow that if we have a common Father, we are brother and sister.
@Michele Boyer Galatians 1 v 19 19 I saw none of the other apostles-only James, the Lord’s brother.
Eve was not a virgin.

Black Pope? The Church's records tell us there were potentially three Black popes in Catholic history: Pope Victor I, who headed the church from 189-199, Pope Miltiades (311-314), and Pope Gelasius I, who was pope from 492-496
Confession booth?
Purgatory?
Baby baptism?
December 25th
Easter?
Monstrance?
Unmarried priest?
Priest drinking wine ?
Wizard hat? Mitre
Kissing of statues?
Burning incense to statues?
Sprinkle “ so called Holy Water “ on statues and people?
The use of Coptic shell decoration on baby baptism bowl?
Praying to the dead?
Please attach scripture of any Hebrew keeping SUNDAY as a holy day?
You think this is fun right you think I have nothing better to do with my life????
You think Satan cares about you? I know he hates me…. He can use his servants as vipers
Christ has given the solution….HIS WORD !
This is not personal.
Yep, my mind was blown. I thought I knew a lot about the topic. I'm glad to say, I didn't. I enjoyed this very much and am more determined than ever to pray the Rosary every day!
I am searching too. I envy you because I am not there yet and I am catholic. What helped you though?
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx I converted from the Protestant faith and at first, I had concerns about Mary being too central to the Catholic teaching. But then I had an experience where I felt Jesus saying to me that all that he had was mine, so therefore, his mother was mine, too. After that, I felt like I had been welcomed into Jesus' family and I could know and enjoy and love all the people he did, particularly Mary and St. Joseph.
@@jenniferarmstrong386 thank you so much

Thank you Thank you Thank you.....
Wow! Why have I never heard any of this before? I am officially fabbergasted! Thank you.
How enlightening is to listen to you Dr. Brant. Thank you. Greetings from Argentina
I just want to say thank you two for this video discussion, open my eyes to why Catholics believe what they believe.
Colossians 2:8
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
The Holy Spirit gave me the above verses as I was watching this video.
May the grace of our Heavenly Father be with you two, and may the testimony of Jesus Christ be with you both always.
(Acts 4:10-12)
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye (you)crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
That means only through Jesus Christ do we obtain salvation and eternal life. It’s only through his name, not Mary, all authority was given to Jesus when he died and was resurrected by God. We don’t worship Mary but we worship Jesus. Mary is respected and honored, but shouldn’t be worshipped, or even worshipped over Jesus.
In Genesis,
Father God, Holy Spirit and Jesus created man. Eve and Mary did not breathe life through their nostrils and man became a living creature.
Genesis 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Absolutely amazing that God chose a women Mary, to be the first person to have Jesus dwelling in her.
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
It was God’s plan for his people from the beginning to have a place for God to dwell. Through history women were looked a pond as lesser than man. But God used a women to express his love towards us.
Praise God, that Jesus doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands but he lives within us. What an amazing revelation of the ark of the covenant dwelling inside of us that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelations 11:19
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Men couldn't touch the Ark of the Covenant, it was forbidden, they would die. Joseph knew this, and he had been revealed that what Mary was carrying in her womb was from the Holy Spirit, so I assumed he wouldn't think! about having sexual relations with her. He was Jew he knew very well how to act in that situation.
Lore , Mary was not the Ark of the covenant there is only one Ark . and mary was not it . where in the scriptures do you get that from . Mary was a woman that God used to bring Christ into the world that all she was stop telling lies like Dr Pitre he is the messenger of satan because it is not scriptural it is fantasy and something God did not have on his mind or it would be written in the scriptures
@@donaldcooley897 read the apocalypse..
@@donaldcooley897
You think there was only one covenant? The new covenant required a new ark - Mary. I pray your hatred for Catholicism doesn't blind you to truths that would strengthen your relationship with our God, the Holy Trinity.
Jesus is the one mediator to the Father. Mary is our mediator to the Son. If Jesus is the head of the church, Mary is the neck. Don't disrespect your Mother.
IowaRonin You have been listening to False teachers Brant Pitre and reading Catholic dogmas and marian doctrines and Mariology garbage that Is not in the scriptures . God never intended for Mary to be any thing but a woman that Brought the son of God in to the world Gal. 4 : 4 ; that all she was She has no mission on earth or in Heaven she is dead only here spirit is in heaven with all spirits and there is not one above the other they are all one in Christ show me in the scriptures where she has any thing to do with the New Covenant and interceding or mediator to Christ . The scriptures say that no one comes to Christ except God brings them , is says that many times in the scriptures . She is not mention in the New Testament letters to the Church In fact Acts 1 : 14 is the last time she is mentioned . Where do you get that garbage that she is the neck of the Church . it is like I said she has nothing todo with the Church . she has nothing to do with salvation of sinners , she has nothing to do with our relationship with Christ , she has nothing todo with Christians worshiping God . we don`t need a dead woman to lead us to Christ every thing you say in your comment is a lie from the pits of hell . You need to get saved so you will know the spiritual truth of the bible .
IowaRonin , as for the New Covenant . There is only one New Covenant there is no new Ark where did you get that from . Christ mediated the New Covenant He is the High Priest , he is the Lamb with out blemish . His blood is at the throne of God to Cover our sin so we can stand righteous before God . Mary is no where in the pictures . Rev. 11 : 19 , Heavens open and there was seen in his temple or tabernacle his body the ark of his testament or testimony the blood of the New Testament . there was no other Ark mary was not an Ark she was a vessel that God used to bring his son Christ into the world . She has nothing to do with our redemption . Redemption comes by the blood of Christ . so put mary in her Rightful place she was the mother of Christ and his brother and sisters that all she was
Oh my word Dr. Pitre is truly anointed and I so needed to hear this! Thank you!🙏🏽❤️
Offering flowers, bowing to, praying to, kissing her picture/statue is not worship according to catholic theology. We offer flowers to our heroes, we talk to our dead relatives when we visit their graves, we kiss the pictures of our love ones...but we are not worshiping them.
Mary is venerated, she is not a subject of worship. Venerated means respected highly. Worship is a thing unto its own and the difference between veneration and worship is quite clear to Catholics. The nuance of that seems to be unclear to Protestants and the others, such as Baptists.
@MrDoyle07 because you are playing word games like bill Clinton. It's worship and you aren't supposed to contact the dead...but then you pretend like you don't know what dead means.
@@MrDoyle07exactly
Nowhere does the Bible tell us to pray to Mary, but it does tell us to pray to the father.@@MrDoyle07

What are the 4 dogmas of Mariology?
Catholic Mariology - Wikipedia
The four Marian dogmas of Mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption form the basis of Mariology. However, a number of other Catholic doctrines about the Virgin Mary have been developed by reference to sacred scripture, theological reasoning and church tradition.
>>>Why do Catholics pray to Mary?
Catholics do not pray to Mary as if she were God. Prayer to Mary is memory of the great mysteries of our faith (Incarnation, Redemption through Christ in the rosary), praise to God for the wonderful things he has done in and through one of his creatures (Hail Mary) and intercession (second half of the Hail Mary).
It still admits they pray to Mary!!!
----Who is the mother of the rosary?
Our Lady of the Rosary (Latin: Beatae Mariae Virginis a Rosario), also known as Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, is a Marian title. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, formerly known as Feast of Our Lady of Victory and Feast of the Holy Rosary is celebrated on 7 October in the General Roman Calendar.
It is widely believed that in 1214 St. Dominic had a vision of Mary. She is said to have presented him with the rosary, both the beads and the prayers to be prayed. Dominic had a tremendous devotion to Mary and the rosary, which he promoted wherever he traveled to preach.
If it was biblical, why invent it???
>>>Only Jesus and the Holy Spirit are qualified to be our intercessors. (Romans 8:26,34). There is only one priest among men who can can go to God in his own right and intercede for us, who himself does not need an intercessor.
>>>**************
Venerate comes from the Latin root venerārī, which has the various meanings of "to solicit the good will of," "to worship," "to pay homage to," and "to hold in awe." That root is related to Venus, which, as a proper noun, is the name of the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

By addressing her - Mary - you are praying to her. “ come to my help” praying to her! “ I place my eternal salvation in your hands”. Praying to her.
Please stop the charade! You pray to Mary. You elevate her to a divine position. You praise her. You worship her. Please stop denying this fact.
I went into a cave at the roadside when I was travelling around the Republic of Ireland. It was full of statues of Mary and others saints too I guess The odd cross. Lots of notes and letters left behind. Mostly to Mary. It did not look in the least bit Christian but like some pagan shrine - it gave me the creeps. You couldn’t drive very far without seeing a statue of Mary.
In the Catholic Church Mary has replaced Christ
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CCC #2679 Mary is the perfect Orans (pray-er), a figure of the Church. When we pray to her, we are adhering with her to the plan of the Father, who sends his Son to save all men. Like the beloved disciple we welcome Jesus' mother into our homes, for she has become the mother of all the living. We can pray with and to her. The prayer of the Church is sustained by the prayer of Mary and united with it in hope.
Yet, Catholics insist they do not pray to Mary!!!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I really appreciate your help to have a more biblical understanding of Mary. I love what Augustine says about Mary, but not many early Church Fathers say she was caught up. I do have some questions, even though I really enjoyed listening to this. I do love to know that Catholics really are thinking theologically and biblical rather than what I was taught - just holding to tradition without thinking through it. But here are some questions I have after watching this. Where does it say the woman was caught up to heaven in Revelation? (29:55) She flies to the wilderness (v. 14) and fled to the wilderness (v. 5) and the earth helps the woman (v. 16). Also the child is caught up to God and his throne (v. 5). But what about the woman? And I wonder if there is a lot of language about Jesus in the New Testament that alludes the Ark of the Covenant in the old testament. Such as how Jesus is the mercy seat (Romans 3:25). So maybe the fact the language Luke puts forward of Mary alluding to the Ark of the Covenant is because she is carrying the manifestation of God. So there would be no doubt that Jesus is God. And concerning the word "until" I wonder how Luke uses it the majority of the time in other places of his gospels. Luke 13:35 seems to identify something not happening until something else happens. I sure hope that that people would be able to spiritual see and know Jesus when they come to a place they can say from their heart "blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord!" And the word "until" can be translated to other words right? And how come Luke didn't explain that Mary took that vow in in Numbers 30. He quotes others old testament passages more clearly in other places of his writings, so why not here if it is such an essential doctrine!?
Fabulous teaching. Thank you. Will be getting the book. G Ire
The laughter you both bring is contagious. Love it! An eye opener for me is how the rosary is symbolic of Mary as the ark of the new covenant in leading us into battle as the original ark did. As was the virginity law in Numbers. I have not read the book, yet, but will. Thank you both for leading us all into a deeper truth. God bless.
Thank you and God bless you for this, this really cleared a lot of my doubts about Mother Mary.
PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!
✝️💖🙌🏼🙏🏼🕊☺️
Thank you for enlightening on Mary our beloved mother. I loved it. I can share your views to enlighten others.
Wow! Wonderful! Thank you! About Mama Mary the Ark of the Covenant! Awesome, who is Mother, when you explained it. I love it. Thank you again. 🙏💕🙏
Thank you so much for this excellent discussion. I am a cradle and committed Catholic, and this has given me much needed background info.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for the much needed laughter today..... I love the fact that you allow your guests to speak and finish their thoughts....... 🕯🕯🕯
I listened to this podcast a while back. Excellent! Two of my favorites to listen to and learn from.
@William Cloud So you deny that Mary is the mother of God?
@William Cloud So Jesus on earth wasn't God, what a demonic blasphemy. He either wasn't God or he was split into two persons. You just rejected the Trinity because you dislike Catholicism.
You can't say Jesus is God without saying Mary was the mother of God.
@William Cloud Did Jesus start being God after he was born? That's the Adaptionist heresy, very close to the Nestorian heresy.
You know what, let's make this short and easy.
When God says that he is "the first and the last" (Isaiah 44,6), could he theoretically say in the same sentence that he was dead?
@William Cloud Now you're denying that she was his mother at all? 😂
You're obviously new, that's why you're scared to answer my question. Read the Bible.
@William Cloud I have more respect for you now because you make videos about Christ. Not bad.
I need to process this. I was baptized Catholic, but could never understand the Mary thing. It seemed like mythology to me. I’m now Lutheran. It is really hard to trust tradition. But I’ll give it another go.
Jesus established the Catholic Church. He promised us that He would be with His Church and us until the end of time. On the night of the Last Supper, Jesus prayed to His Father that we would be united with Him as one, just as He and the Father are one.
He left the Holy Spirit to protect His Church from error. The Catholic Church cannot teach anything that is in error in terms of faith and morals. Teaching Mary as the Mother of God, her perpetual virginity, her queenship in Heaven, are dogmas. They are without error.
We never trust tradition over the word of God. We are not to waste time on Mary. We honor her but even Mary would not want us devoted to her. Our devotion needs to be on Jesus period. We don’t have time nor should we take or make time reconciling mary and please don’t talk to her or sing to her. I am Catholic. As a catholic the Eucharist is our foundation and what Jesus did for us at the cross. We can make anything make sense if we try hard enough. If the church says mary is assumed into heaven then she is but she is not to be worshiped. She is not our advocate, our helper, our life , as so many prayers make her out to be. She can be Queen
, or ark of the covenant, our mother, but she is still one of us. God is adamant in all of scripture that we are to come to him! Always
@@MarybethWuenschel Why doesn’t the church remove author Richard Rohr? I read his book and I don’t think he confesses the creeds anymore. At least they could debate him openly. I haven’t seen anything on UA-cam in this regard-I’m still on the sidelines with the Catholic Church. I’m praying for open communion someday.
@@rhondarockhound622 amen open communion is so needed
@@MarybethWuenschelI see where you are coming from. However, God gave us Mary as our mother and queen. The Marion apparitions are to bring us to her Son Jesus. When I honor Mary, it doesn’t feel like a waste of time. It feels like I am appreciating one of the most wonderful gifts from God. I can’t love Mary more than Jesus does.
The information, THIS TRUTH is a magnificent lesson. It is easy to follow, exhillerating, precious!! Praise be to our Blessed Trinity and our Blessed Mother Mary.
Excellent and good dialogue, cheerful. Thank you, been Catholic so long but didn't know so much of this.
It amazes me how far some protestants will go to deny scripture as it has traditionally been understood. "Behold your mother" was Jesus's last commandment, while dying on the cross He gave her to us as our mother. That is one of the most beautiful passages of scripture. While dying for OUR sins, He loved us so much he gave His mother as our own.
Behold your mother" was Jesus's last commandment, while dying on the cross He gave her to us as our mother.
That certainly sounds good but at what point was John ever a symbol of the world. Jesus gave His mother to John not you and I as Mary is a mortal born with a sin nature and used by God to bring Jesus into the world . Jesus giving a mortal to the world does nothing as Mary has no Godly powers.
@bobloblawb2593 I'm not catholic but I can answer that one. Mark 3:33-35. If we are brothers than by extension she would be our mother. It's a question of relation, not divinity
@bobloblawb2593 If Jesus, been God, became our brother by adopting a human nature from Mary's body, then, it's only normal that she became our mother since she was given tu us by Jesus himself. Don't worry; you are not being forced to accept her. Rest assured that Jesus would never force anybody to acept His mother as your mother, the same way that He didn't forced anyone to follow Him in John 6:66. It was not necessary for John to be or become a symbol of the world in order to accept Mary as his mother
Then why Mt 12 : 46-50
Totally not what Christ was saying.
