This is what all eucumenical conversations should be like: mutual respect between fellow brothers in Christ, trying to understand one another, without hiding our disagreements. Great interview!
Hi! I am a Catholic man and I love the faith. I love everything about it. I’ve watched your two videos in this study Bible and I appreciate your efforts in reviewing! Keep up the good work. As your brother in Christ, God bless you.
Catholism is not Christianity, pope wears the hat of Dagon (a demon), the basilica is a huge serpent wearing a crown, changing the 10 commandments, idols, The telescope named Lucifer, praying to Mary and the saints (ashtorath worship),pedophillia, ect ect repent of Constantine’s paganism and have a real relationship with Christ Jesus. God bless u bro.
@ Kind of a funny question to me. Of course I love Jesus Christ! He’s my only Lord and Savior! I love him more than anything there ever was, is, or will be! My relationship with Christ is the most important thing in my life and I thank him every day. In my experience, the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church have facilitated my life in Christ and I love everything about it. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.
James, congrats on interviewing Matthew. I'm a 70 yr old Catholic who at 18 went to Protestant Bible studies for 5 years, even spent 2 months at French L'Abri among Francis Schaeffer disciples. I'd love to see you interview a proponent of Medjugorje, someone as articulate as your current guest. From my perspective, Jesus' mother Mary is a very cohesive, much needed influence, not only in the Church at large, but in the world today. Prophetic, motherly, pure and compassionate come to mind when I think of her. The congenial tone of your conversation with Matthew is so obviously beneficial in these days of division among the brethren. Detractors of Medjugorje may not have read Mirjana Soldo's 2016 book 'My Heart Will Triumph'. Thank You.
How was she prophetic? What’d she prophesy? Motherly, yeah I hope to her boy. Pure, no one is pure. She sinned, just like every other human. Compassionate? How? And what is she offering compassion on? She’s dead.
Love the depth of biblical literacy going on in this conversation. It is refreshing to hear nuanced ecumenical conversations with respect for diverse perspectives. Thanks 👍
Very ecumenical and healthy. I owned the original New Testament version and just acquired the new version (0ld and New). Before I even finished this video, I order Christian Theology an Introduction and Paul's "Works of the Law" in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception Thank you Both and Merry Christmas
This was a wonderful discussion and I hope you can get his wife on the show too. I often read other people's comments on videos, but I don't on Christian discussions because of the surprising amount of rudeness coming from Christians, it is so distressing.
Pretty sure the other Ignatius Bibles use RSV-CE 2nd edition. My guess is that would be the primary reason. I am almost done with Father Mike's BIY with the Great Adventure Bible. Curious about this behemeth. Initially this past January, I looked at NABRE a bit. Really did not like the notes in particular and happy with the purchase of the Great Adventure/Father Mike's BIY series. I think we as Catholics benefit greatly from those that were Protestants and know the Bible so well, that are now Catholic. Wonderful converation. Thank you. In the end, we the faithful are all one I believe.
Among other things in this terrific interview, your comment about the 100 systemics and their traditional affiliations piqued my interest. I’d like to learn the resources and the overlaps and divergences they have.
JM do you think the extra books of the ethiopian church have a place ? What is your opinion of them ? Would love to hear your views regarding these books - Book of Jubilees , Book of Enoch etc.......

I am a retired pastor, but still teach. I have many study bibles. Does this Catholic study Bible contain enough valuable new insight to warrant a purchase? Pastor Greg
@@gregparis8948 if you don't have a Catholic study Bible, then I highly recommend this one. I just finished the notes to Genesis today and they are very good.
A small correction to the Good theologian...ALL priests are part of an order - the Order of Melchizedek; not all priests are members of a "Catholic religious order."
This is what all eucumenical conversations should be like: mutual respect between fellow brothers in Christ, trying to understand one another, without hiding our disagreements. Great interview!

Thanks for having this ecumenical discussion. We need a lot more of this!

I appreciate you honest and gracious reviews of Catholic Bibles. 😊
Good video. Thanks for having him on to give us catholics a fair exposition of our faith.
Great discussion, appreciate the respect in tone while not falling in the "we are all the same" oecumenism.
What a beautiful and thoughtful conversation. Thank you both for sharing.

You guys are great! Do some more...
Absolutely wonderful
As a charismatic - independant churcg Christian I really enjoyed this. As Christians we have such a rich deep tradition.

Each order has its own charism - their duties.
This was a wonderful conversation, thanks for having Dr Thomas on. I really enjoyed the discussion.

I maybe getting this mixed up but I believe Dr Scott Han, one of the leads on the study bible you are referring to, went to Gordon-Conwell.
I’m also a purple belt, glad I found ya.
@@RoloSolis81 sweet. Where do you train?
I am the 41st person to watch this video.
Old Catholic Ironworker here. This was great! I don’t have this Bible yet. Debating on whether to get the leather or the hard back.
Have you checked out the Soulfinder comic? It’s terrific!

@@jacoschlebusch9053 I have read them and find them interesting, but only as a reflection of 2nd Temple literary traditions and folklore.

Why not use the ESV-CE?
For us in SoCal where is Berkeley

You look like Hafthor
@@paneuropa9486 I don't know what that means. What is a hafthor?
Hafthor Bjornson, Icelandic strongman.
Not trolling, simply observing. Currently enjoying this video 🤗
