Excellent discussion, Bryan, and William. John Calvin was the evil genius behind protestantism. Thanks to the grace of Almighty God, William, has discovered the one, true, Catholic, and apostolic church.
Our Lady, Mirror of Justice, pray for us.
Through calvin, Satan distilled all his venom and lies!!!!
Good job, William! Baptism and the Lord’s Supper (Eucharist) are NOT “non-essential” doctrines. These Calvinists are in grave error. “Non-essential” disputes might entail “What time should we attend Mass? Evening, Morning, or Afternoon? 😊😊😊. Protestants are always forced to put faith in “their faith” rather than the faith: one holy catholic and apostolic. 🙏
Excellent speaker. Thanks for having on William.
Nice👍👍, another soul has been save by the Grace Of God..
Keep on going Idol Bryan Mercier.. 💞💕💞💕
📿✝️🙏❤️💚💙
Just started the video. The Narnia comment makes me think he listened to a lot of Called To Communion on his journey. Dr. Anders talks about this quote all the time.
Welcome Home!
God Bless
Actually, I didn’t. That line hit me the first time I read it and it has been a constant motivator ever since.
Grace & peace.
@@wjtruax thanks for the reply, you might want to check out his show on EWTN, very informative. He’s a convert from Calvinist Presbyterianism and attributes his conversion to doing his doctoral dissertation on Calvin and coming to realize what he grew up believing wasn’t anything like what Calvin originally believed. That made him dig deeper which lead him to the Catholic Church.
God Bless
🙏✝️🙏 Praise the Lord ...
🎉🎉 man i could of listened to a way longer one.. welcome brother.
Thank you. You’re very kind.
To me, this quote sums up Protestantism:
It happens that their tradition respecting redemption is invisible and incomprehensible, as being the mother of things which are incomprehensible and invisible; and on this account, since it is fluctuating, it is impossible simply and all at once to make known its nature, for every one of them hands it down just as his inclination prompts. Thus there are as many schemes of redemption as there are teachers of these mystical opinions. And when we come to refute them, we shall show in its fitting place, that this class of men have been instigated by Satan to a denial of that baptism which is regeneration to God, and thus to a renunciation of the whole [Christian] faith.
- St Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies, written in 170 AD.
It really does.
Great gentleman 👏
Wow this is a great video .. I'll be sharing this one. Thank you for this one. ❤❤
Beautiful analogy ❤️
👍👍 great..
South Carolina? If you visit the Cathedral in Charleston, come up to the choir loft after Mass and say hi!
Brian, God created you exactly for what you doing, imho.
Amen. Thank you.
Which God are you talking about, It can't be the God of the Bible because he does believe God oversaw its integrity in place in into the hands of normal folks.
"Purified Seven Times, The Miracle of the English Bible"- Bill Bradley
1384- John Wycliffe translates the whole Bible into English for the first time in history. The "Church repays him by condemning him as a " heretic".
1536- William Tyndale was burned as a heretic for his Bible translation of the first printed English scriptures.
1537- Myles Coverdale's Bible translation was published "with the King's most gracious license.". Later, during "Bloody Mary's" reign, he was hunted for his life and forced to flee England.
1539- Coverdale's "The Great Bible" chained to the pulpits by order of King Henry VIII. Christians were executed for reading the Bible without a license.
1555- John Rogers was burned to death for publishing Matthew's Bible; became the first victim of "Bloody Mary" Queen of England.
1560- Queen Mary commands all "heretics" to return to Romanism or face the consequences. Many flee to Geneva, and the exiled church leaders produce the Geneva Bible.
1611- The seventh major English translation of the Scriptures, the King James Bible, is published and adopted as the authorized version by the people of God as the word of God for the English-speaking world. "Purified Seven Times".
......King James gunpowder plot, Masons / Jesuits attempt to stop the translation of the KJV.
(PS 12:6, Eccl 8:4)
@whathappening5323 and they still left out books? Interesting.
Scholars like Kipp Davis say that Psalm 22:16 in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint was a typo and it should say, “For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me. They are like lions at my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones,” instead of “For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me. They have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.”
Is this true? What’s your stance on this and how should we take it?
How should we take Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel’s statements and accusations about Pope Francis?
How should we Catholics be taking the decline of the Anglican Church in Great Britain? And is there any data on trends for the Episcopal Churches in the US?
We should pray for the Anglican and Episcopal churches, that they see this decline as a sign to return home to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church. Secularism affects us all, and it is something that we should fight.
Every Protestant denomination follows its logic into oblivion.
🙏🏻🙌🏻🕊🌹🤍
William Truax and I are fourth-ish cousins. 😮❤
That’s interesting. Through what line?
I heard that there are some liberal leaning Catholic Churches in Germany, is this true? If so how liberal leaning are they?
Very liberal. Like on the verge of being excommunicated or going into schism.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial How are other Catholics supposed to take that?
No Catholic takes it well. It's never a good thing when someone is disobedient to the church and to God. When they want to do their own thing. We pray for them though. And the pope is trying to be merciful but I don't think that'll work but for so long.
T.U.L.I.P 🌷
Tiptoe carefully through that one! 😂
I used to hold to that, too. But too many of Jesus’ own parables clearly mitigate against it. I appreciate that the underlying desire of Calvinist theology is to glorify and clearly proclaim Divine sovereignty over every aspect of time, creation, and history. No devout and knowledgeable Catholic would argue against Divine sovereignty being absolute. Calvin’s philosophical problem is that he believed that it was a zero-sum game - that any human free will at all made Divine sovereignty conditional, and therefore not absolute, and thus, non-existent. His position was “either…or.” You can have Divine sovereignty or human free will, but you can’t have both. Since we want to honor God, Divine sovereignty takes it all.
Scripture clearly teaches a “both…and” position: Absolute Divine sovereignty and human free will. How does that work? It is a paradox from a human standpoint - which means that it is true even though it appears to be a contradiction. That “both…and” concept is found throughout Jesus’ teachings.
We don’t have to go with only one or try to split the difference. We just need to be faithful to Christ.
C.A.T.N. (complete and total nonsense). Anti-biblical rubbish.
Hello! T.U.L.I.P is sadly a horrible twisting of Saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, and is unbiblical.
Glory to Jesus Amen
My condolences.
Condolences on joining the True Church of Jesus Christ? That's actually a good thing. Sorry you're so wilfully ignorant. We will definitely pray for you.
I’ve noticed that who ever reads scriptures thinks that God will not allow pain suffering stress difficulties loss of life hardships stress and so on and so on,for those who think that God does not allow these things to happen in your life is deceived and doesn’t understand scripture much at all,I just hope that people realize that our God and Lord Jesus Christ went through enormous pains and sufferings throughout his life all the way up to his death,which fulfilled what he said in the scriptures he who loves his life shall lose it and he who loses his life for my sake shall find life.God owes us humans nothing but rather we owe God everything meaning all kinds of sufferings and pain we have to except for penance and confession to atone and make reparations for our sins that we humans commit when ever we commit it in our daily lives?
That's that health and wealth Gospel. I agree that is very dangerous theology
Suffering is a conduit for greater holiness, and we should dedicate the little sufferings we endure to God, in the hopes that it will bring us closer to Him. Suffering is an integral part of Christianity, of following the Triune God. Not to say that we should ask for suffering, but any suffering we receive should be appreciated and weathered. Thanks for watching, God bless you!
Is the NTL a bad translation? The translation of Deuteronomy 22:28-29 is different between the NLT and NRSV and it concerns me of what it implies:
“Suppose a man has intercourse with a young woman who is a virgin but is not engaged to be married. If they are discovered, he must pay her father fifty pieces of silver. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.” (NLT)
“If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged and seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered, the man who lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the young woman’s father, and she shall become his wife. Because he violated her, he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives.” (NRSV)
It's a terrible bible. I don't even know if I would consider it a Bible as it's a watered down version of Scripture.
Look up what Trent horn has to say about it. He covers all of these difficult passages in his book, hard sayings. But you can probably find what he says about it online as well.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I have the book with me, and he doesn’t address the passage in the “Anti-Women?” chapter, unless is there a different chapter I should look at?
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Also to say, I can’t help but think that someone in Ancient Israel might have potentially abused that law to create a harem for himself.
I feel sorry for all those stuck in Religion, God does not care about your religion! Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran etc. Only thing God cares about is your relationship with Him.
You guys need to get on fire for God's Church which is a people baptized by the Holy Spirit. Period.
Not somebuilding that started 130ad or 1500s ad. It does not matter what Church you belong too. Jesus Matters! The blood on the cross Matters!
The Holy Spirit in your heart matters not some religious Sacrament. IT WILL NOT SAVE YOU.
JESUS SAVES
We feel bad for those who don't know God's true church. God absolutely started a church and He does care if you belong to it or not. He started one the Bible says, not tens of thousands. Read the new testament, it's all about the church, and the church has bishops, priests, and deacons. If you are church does not have these three offices then you're not part of the Church of Jesus christ.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial If you knew your Bible you would know God's people are neither Greek or jew, neither free or slave, all those baptized by the Holy Spirit are God's people. 🙏🙏🙏
Keep on protecting Rapists and keep on denying Jesus, that's what you do best.
Goodbye and God bless.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I can't believe what you just said.
The worst part is that others who do not know Jesus will believe you.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him(Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life.
Mat 11:28-29 Come unto me(Jesus), All you that labour and are heavy laden, And I(Jesus) will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you & learn from me(Jesus), for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
My Peace is not moved by what men say. God bless & Stay saved.
I see many negative comments about the Catholic Church and Catholic Christians from our separated brothers. I want you to think why did Jesus say in John 14, 15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” And 21 “He who has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” It’s because Jesus is telling us to believe everything he taught in the new covenant including how one aught to behave in the church of living God the pillar and bull work of truth. 1Tim3:15 as a member of the Catholic Church.
@@Spiritof76Catholic I hate lies!
God's true church, is a people baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Where is there mention of Catholic in the Bible?
God says don't make idols.
What do you do?
Jesus says I'm your advocate and intercessor, what do you do?
Jesus says don't call any man your father, what do you do?
God is Spirit! The Spirit of Truth is evident in Genesis 1.
Catholics used to be saved, From 431ad they began the lies!!!
Don't pray to angels because Satan can transfigure himself to an angel of light. So what do Catholics do?
Then you say you are Christians!?
More like Maryians.
Where have you ever heard of priests raping boys???
What would your response be to, “Would you become Protestant if the Catholic Church suddenly became liberal and supported homosexual marriage/acts and gender transitioning tomorrow, while Protestant churches didn’t?”
What you mean exactly by supported LGBTQ rights? Do you mean believing people who are LGBTQ members should be treated with human dignity, should be able to make a living?
The Church has been clear that it does not have the authority to deem righteous what God has revealed to be sinful.
It is Protestant denominations that have arbitrarily changed their view on this matter, not the Church.
@@Aurelius_Aurora For some context, maybe look up Presbyterian Reconquista, the asker was asking about what if the Catholic Church was suddenly going through what the Prebyterian church is going through now
Edit: Or maybe look up “Redeemed Zoomer they’re trying to get rid of us” or “Liberals fired a priest for supporting us,” on UA-cam
@@Aurelius_Aurora Know about Redeemed Zoomer?
@@Kakaragi nope , stopped watching protestants long time ago
As an ex-Catholic I think Calvinists are better than Catholics.
Humble yourself, we’re all terrible sinners unworthy of eternal life with the Father
I’ll take the challenge…Why are you an “ex-Catholic” are you a Calvinist now, Arminian, or not even really Christian?
@@wjtruax I'm not a Calvinist, I just support Protestantism because I'm Republican. My current religion is a mixture of Animism and Zoroastrianism with a sprinkle of Buddhism.
@@Some-random-Scythian very interesting. You must then believe that you have to “figure it out for yourself.” Which then leads to the presumption that there really is no objective truth.
How do you respond to that?
@@wjtruax I believe that the teachings and prophecies of Zoroaster are true and I believe that the teachings of the Tibetan book of the Dead are true. I also believe in the Norse-Germanic legends but I prefer to call myself an Animist and call the gods by their Germanic names to distance myself from people calling themselves Norse Pagans or Pagans, since that name has in recent times been associated with really edgy people.
