Wow. God really finds the way to deepen knowledge to the ones Who seek.
Thank you my dear God.
Thank you, St Paul Center.
Thank you Dr Hahn and Dr Bergsma God bless you and all at the St Paul center. I have learned so much aboit my faith from you.
Extraordinary! Thank you!! Viva Cristo Rey!! From Argentina 🇦🇷 God bless you!!
Mercy is the Icing on the Cake of Justice!
Mercy is based upon Justice.
Thank you. I needed to hear this tonight
As Saint Augustine said: We are not born again through natural generation but through Supernatural Regeneration ( Sacrament of Baptism ).
Even if God should give each and every one of us a Galaxy, or ten galaxies or any other created thing, it is really nothing, for He is God and He can create Billions of Galaxies in one second. But our God is so wonderful, that He gave and He gives us Himself, and wants us to give Him ourselves in return ( freely ). For our God is a Lover and Love, not a rapist, He does not want to force anyone to accept and love Him...
As Dr. Hahn said in many occasions, the difference between a contract and a covenant is huge. In a contract, we exchange things ( I give you this and you give me that ), in a covenant ( I give you myself and you give me yourself ).
Wow, Mr. Bergsma. You are glowing, man.
it seems some in the hierarchy now could learn from this
Actually most of them would do well to learn from this by living it out instead of being passive and permissive. God's marital/salvitic love is NOT unconditional! It requires our initial and ongoing repentance, just like a good (Godly) marriage does! Be doers of the word and not hearers only!
In Christ,
Andrew
Amazing content. Thanks for sharing it. 🇧🇷
Bright Theologians!
Thank you!! God bless you!
Servive Love.
Suffering Love.
Sacrificial Love.
Who would’ve thought that all the former top tier Protestant apologists would become the best defender of the Catholic faith. Praise to God. Amen
As I recall, St Paul, who wrote much of the NT, was a revert...❤️🙏❤️
Any biblically literate and sincere universal Christian would agree with this wholeheartedly, but (sadly) not as many would make the correct association, according to John 14:21, that God's saving/marital love is NOT unconditional. That needs to be taught and followed as well!
In Christ,
Andrew
hesed in the transcript is actually spelled Chesed.
It was terribly difficult for Our Lady of Fatima to predict the death of millions upon millions for unrepentance and the untimely deaths of two of the innocent children. Surely the rain falls on the just and unjust; however unlike the rain, only the just receive mercy.
Something is missing in this conversation. We don’t allow ourselves to be sacrificed by grave sins within the family. Often family relationships are used to hide very bad sins; you know what they are.😢✨🙏🔥
Being willing to take risks in order to love and help protect others while being encouraged to do so in maybe return is not at all the same thing as being Christian while being offered lies of ommission about a mission that we are about to embark on while serving the Lord. Nor is it the same thing as pessimism. Pessimism which beieves that we must be only counting our blessings during every moment of each day while passing by victims of crime who are passing away while living on the street.

By Francois Gautier.
*Diversity in Divinity and Unity in Spirituality.*
1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted
2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik
3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak.
4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman.
5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools.
6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it.
7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure !
8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead.
9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest.
10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion)
11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi.
12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy.
13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic !
14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship).

17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !
18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped.
19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism!
"Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family)
20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival.
Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year.
21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu.
22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved.
23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu!
24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom.
25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe!
26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint.
27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily)
You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu!
This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every directions.
So of anything goes in Hinduism why bother with it ? It's a philosophy that's morally bankrupt
The pope seems not to know this!
" Will the Jewish people love a 45 year old, catholic, polish women as their Jewish Messiah" That's how I already revealed myself back in October. My name is MAGDALENA this time. If that's not enough proof that JESUS was a Messiah then there is another one. Everything God showed me and told me happened outside. GOD IS NOT INSIDE THE CHURCHES...🕊️🕊️🕊️
