@@youvilleatzebugs Probably this one: The Fathers Know Best

Tony Palmer said the protest is over but last time I heard Rome hasn't changed so why return the protest isn't over. Despite what they tell you.

I was born and raised Protestant and looked into Catholicism in 2019. I discovered the fullness of the Catholic faith that just doesn’t exist in Protestantism. John 6:53 and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist was the final thing that clinched it for me . I’ll pray for you. 🙏 ⛪️

Hey, Dylan....How is it going? Have you been able to go to Mass? How is your faithwalk journey going?

I love that too 👍

I love it too!

Reading the early Church Fathers help me return to the faith.

@@Angel268201 that’s awesome! Thank you for sharing that!! What books did you read in particular?

@YAJUN YUAN ok? And? What are you trying to tell me lol

@UCMLza8LXUyvw5XFreTaUSWg Do you think when people read the church fathers they only take one of their interpretations or understandings of Christianity and just go with it? No! That would be stupid! The whole point of reading the Church Fathers is that it is the Church Fathers with an S, not the Church Father. The whole reason why you would study them is to get a FEEL of how they understood Christianity in its beginnings, not to cherry pick 1 person’s erroneous understanding and then to call everyone back then invalid. You don’t get Dogma in the Catholic Christian faith from just one person’s understanding, rather, many people’s understandings in conjunction, and through Ecumenical Councils. It’s also really important to trust the successors of the apostles, because Jesus specifically gave the Apostles special graces to be able to uphold, defend, and spread proper church teaching throughout time. Sorry if I came off kind of harsh, I really just want you to understand that early church tradition is what has made Christianity what it is today, regardless of denomination. God bless you

@YAJUN YUAN Give me an example where majority consensus of Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture is contradictory to the teaching of the magisterium

Agreed. Its a great shame that not enough Christians are educated on church history and the church fathers. Im grateful I have the resources that I do in order to learn these things. God bless ✝️

@@Apostola33 Reading one part of church history to cherry-pick and sanction false dogma . When other parts of history do not paint such a Rosie picture. John Foxe's book of Martyrs does paint a Christianity that does not resemble the teaching of Jesus Christ or the apostles. That evidence is irrefutable on so many levels. That brings into question what the truth the CC seems so desperate to subjugate people to with false claims of Christian Truth.

Protestants do know this. That’s nothing new. Scholars have been getting deeper in Scripture for centuries.

Probably because they believe in sola scriptura which erases about 1500 years a church history.

Sola Scriptura is an invention on Martin Luther. It appears nowhere in Scripture. @@Lukebarca

Mary worship is idolatry.

@@NuanceOverDogma Who said anything about worshipping Mary?

@@NuanceOverDogmaI find that a lot of Protestants just blurt out these rude statements not out of ill intent but out of fear because deep in their heart, they know there is something missing anytime they go to a Protestant church. (I should know, I used to be Protestant for 5 years). And they genuinely do not want to commit idolatry but come to find out (myself included) I didn’t even know what idolatry truly was. I didn’t even know what worship truly is. Did you know to worship something/someone requires to sacrifice something to them ? We don’t do that for Mary or any Saint. If you attend our mass, the priest and the music actually rarely even mentions Mary and the saints. Cause the whole focus is Jesus Christ. I recommend checking out a traditional Latin mass if you ever check it out. I think people need to understand the difference between devotion and worship. Worship: The term “worship” in its Catholic etymology is derived from the Old English word “weorþscipe,” which combines “worth” and “ship,” indicating the worthiness or honor due to God alone. In Catholic theology, worship is the highest form of reverence, adoration, and homage given to God, acknowledging God’s supreme worth, majesty, and glory. It involves acts of praise, thanksgiving, and obedience offered to God alone, recognizing God’s greatness and sovereignty over all creation. Devotion: The term “devotion” in its Catholic etymology is derived from the Latin word “devotio,” which signifies profound dedication or commitment. In Catholic spirituality, devotion refers to the personal or communal expression of love, reverence, and loyalty towards God, Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the saints. It involves cultivating a deep relationship with holy figures through prayer, meditation, study, and imitation of their virtues, seeking their intercession and guidance in one’s spiritual life. Devotion reflects a heartfelt commitment to living out one’s faith and growing in holiness. You can be devoted to the Virgin Mary and saints in a similar way a husband would be devoted to his wife and vice versa. Is that to worship your spouse? No. I get where you’re coming from brother. And you don’t have to take my advice. You’re your own man, but it’s wise to research the problems you have with Catholicism from a Catholic perspective in order to better understand why they do the things we do. Pray for God to protect you if you are worried that you will fall into idolatry (I prayed that before I found out enough about Catholicism to know it wasn’t idol worship). If you really have faith in God, take a leap of faith and ask yourself “how has this religion lasted for 2,000 years? My denomination existed for a max of 500 years, so how did they follow God before that?” I found you can even start out with simply looking at the relationship between Christ and his Church and then A husband and his wife. You will find Protestantism as a whole doesn’t TRULY believe the man is the head of the home. It’s been infiltrated by feminism for the most part. (I have a friend who’s Protestant but he doesn’t believe in the feminism crap as well). Traditional Catholicism as a whole knows feminism is wrong, there’s still pockets of it in Catholicism but that’s just satan being satan. There’s going to be wolves in sheep’s clothing. But even then there’s still wrong theology my friend holds, and I’m not saying in any way I’m somehow better, believe me I know I’m not. He’s actually quite smarter than me. But not all ideas are equal and not all religions are equal. Therefore not all denominations are equal. You can’t put your identity in your denomination but be objective in pursuing the truth. Catholicism is the truth. Everybody is equal yes, but there is a hierarchy in terms of order. God is a man, he is masculine, which is why we call him Father. Masculinity embodies order. Order involves hierarchy. God appointed Moses, Aaron and the levites in a hierarchical order that resembles the New Testament priesthood as Catholicism has had and still has. Jesus never abolished the law. He just fulfilled it. So the priesthood wouldn’t be disregarded. Just the way they operate is a bit different. Lastly, again I say you can arrive at these conclusions by looking at traditionally how a man is the leader of the home. As Christ is the head of his church. You only really find that fully in Catholicism. Cause even when it comes to the pope, he isn’t perfect but it’s the hierarchical structure Jesus put in place. And what does the Bible say when a husband is disobedient to the word that a wife should do? Peter 3:1-2, which states: “Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.” (1 Peter 3:1-2, NIV) This is the same thing for the pope. He’s the leader of the church on earth. Christ is the ultimate Head ofcourse. But if the Pope were to be disobedient, we as a church submit to him still (that doesn’t mean follow him to sin if he’s trying to lead us to sin) but it means to respect the authority He has because God appointed him there. The same way you would still want to be respected and honored by your wife if you were disobedient is the same thing. Because God appointed you there. God bless, hope this helps

Agree. People are not aware that the Saints that wrote the New Testament only knew the Old Testament in their lifetime that is why it’s called Typology.

@@Jo3K1ng3 👍I read the whole thing. lol 😃👍

I'd would like to know as well.

Because the same would apply to every religion, muslims for instance. They have been around 1400 years why would God leave them worship a false God, it must be true using this logic. Bottom line is, jesus needed history to affirm who he was. OT was needed to prove jesus lineage and prophecy fulfilment. Where is the protestant history to prove who they are?

Protestantism branched off of Catholicism.

@@KH-vp4ni no it broke away from catholicism.

@@justanotheryoutubewarrior8396 but it literally couldn't exist without catholicism... Catholic monks are the ones that made copies of the bible. The Protestant Bible even still had all of the books in it until 1528 when they removed some.

@@AlejandroOjedaN"The project Gutenberg form the first century until 1830". Just google that should take there.

Reading the Bible turned me catholic.

Christ picked 12 men. Reading the Bible by yourself is dangerous according to the Bible. “He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:16

12 men… not 266 Popes. Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous.

@YAJUN YUAN that's why I pointed it out. Slip of the tongue on Dr. Hahn's part maybe.

@YAJUN YUAN Or maybe he had to deal with this accusation so many times from our Protestant brothers that he slip. Who knows? Hehehe. God bless Dr Hahn for his rich and faithful ministry!

Gavin Ortland studies the Fathers in the same way that a Catholic would study Protestant scholars. He may gain some insights from them, but he doesn't really care about following the same faith as them. He will cherry pick this insight, that doctrine, blend them together for his own thing. Consider, for example, what he says about Baptismal Regeneration. Essentially, he doesn't dispute that this was essentially the universal belief of every single early Christian that speaks of it, and he doesn't care, he doesn't believe it, and comes up with reasons for what he believes an erroneous belief became so pervasive. To him, it's like a Catholic noting that all the early Reformers believed in Sola Scriptura. Or when he was disputing clerical hierarchy. He basically read every pre-Nicene father that mentions this as ambiguously as he could, then when he gets to St. Ignatius, who he can't do that with, he says "Well that's just one guy." Then he says "There was no agreed upon clerical structure," with the implication that it can be what he wants, even though none of them spoke of congregationalism which he, a Baptist, holds. Newman said that to be deep in history is to cease to he Protestant. That's not quite true. When deep in history, you have one of three options: 1) cease to be Protestant 2) affirm a Great Apostasy, which occured almost immediately 3) Obfuscate and relativize everything, then say you can do what you want with what you've obfuscated. But if you want the faith of the Fathers, the best a Protestant can do is become Anglican, and even that has its challenges.

It what you don't see sometime which open your mind. Just to give you something else to think about you could Google . The project Gutenberg from the first century till 1830. that a spoiler alert. Why there is a why.

I think a bigger thing then theology is actually the "form" of worship. Catholic faith is very "traditional" and quite rigid and fixed in what's allowed. It really models everything on the fathers.This has both strengths (preventing rogue churches that go off the rails) and keeping a safe doctrine but also negatives. It restricts leaders from doing many many things that would help to make the practice of faith more engaging and relevant to younger audiences. I'm part of a Catholic parish at the moment which is really studying what Protestant evangelical churches have done to be effective in reaching younger audiences and trying to learn from and encorporate some of that. We even have a school and church called "Unity" which is collaboration co-run by Catholic and Protestant (Uniting) church together. They hold school masses which are co presided by our Catholic priest and Protestant pasture. My prayer is for less division and fighting on denomination lines and more unity fraternity friendship and love between denominations. One faith with a unity of purpose but a diversity of expression. Both sides have strengths and weakness and much to learn from each other

@@David-_-_- That is a sellout, sounds OK but manmade religions have a way of doing that. Too many people were shoved into bonfires by the CC to defend it Dogma proves the foundation is and was false.

You need to read deeper

Which is metaphorical because Jesus calls Abraham "Father" and Paul calls himself a spiritual Father in Acts.

Hahn has fallen into the same hole that catholic church has fallen. Jesus clearly taught that " all men are evil." The so called " catholic church fathers " were not taught by Jesus and He did not pick them. They did not receive the Holy Spirit as did the chosen Apostles of Jesus. This is important and explains why they began changing the Commands of Jesus as well as the teachings of The Apostles of Jesus. The fruits of the catholic church testify against any connection between the so called catholic church fathers and Jesus. The antichrist spirit entered the catholic church sometime before 325 AD.

@@awuriefnejqwjmnwn4960 You will find out soon that the words of Jesus are not " metaphorical." For Jesus is The Word of God.

He said that Christ “redeemed” all of us. Which he did. That was the entire point of the sacrifice on the cross. I would encourage you to reread the gospels.

@@flamingdragon3861 I did. "“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". So how then do atheists apply here? They reject Christ. You can't be redeemed if you don't admit that you were in error and refuse to accept the truth. Ask yourself the question, "redeemed from what?". Why do we need redemption? It's because we've all sinned and fallen short. So if you reject the sacrifice and continue to sin, you are not saved. The sacrifice was meant for everyone, yes, but it only applies to a person who accepts it and decides to follow God. Atheists by definition don't do either of those things. Like, take Anakin Skywalker. If he had chosen to continue living as Vader, he would not have been redeemed even if Luke had forgiven him for what he'd done. It's a choice you have to make. You can't just have someone tell you "you are forgiven" and then continue to do exactly the opposite of what they asked you to do. It means you never believed in them, and you never accepted that forgiveness because you never admitted wrongdoing. There is no "I didn't know". Everyone knows what they believe and the choices they make. They can try to justify any action they take but before God those justifications burn away and their true beliefs are exposed. Someone who rejects that sacrifice is saying "I don't need your sacrifice, I'll live how I want to live" and therefore is in opposition to God, who put rules in place for people who choose to follow him. It cannot and does not apply to them. Otherwise, nothing means anything, and anyone can live however they choose to live with no consequence. There would be no purpose for the church if that was the case, because nobody would need to strive for a Christian life. Why would anyone try to choose the difficult path when all roads lead to the kingdom of Heaven? That's not to say atheists can't decide to follow him at some point and be saved, but living as an atheist and willfully rejecting him means you are not redeemed because you have chosen to not be.

@@Helljumper91 yes Jesus is the way and accepts all. As in those who choose to come to Him. That’s the point Atheists or whoever else

@@crossbearer6453 that’s what I’m trying to say. If you’re an atheist, then by definition you are choosing to not follow him.

Saint Augustine of Hippo refers to the orthodox practice of praying to saints and martyrs in Sermon 159, 1 where explains: ‘There is an ecclesiastical discipline, as the faithful know, when the names of the martyrs are read aloud in that place at the altar of God, where prayer is not offered for them. Prayer, however, is offered for the dead who are remembered. For it is wrong to pray for a martyr, to whose prayers we ought ourselves be commended.” Saint Augustine says something similar in his Homilies on St. John’s Gospel 84: “At the Lord’s table we do not commemorate martyrs in the same way that we do others who rest in peace so as to pray for them, but rather that they may pray for us that we may follow in their footsteps.”

@@somnathganapa5789 the early church did believe saints prayed for us, but that is a whole nother step from us venerating them, hanging pictures of them over our doors, and praying to them.

And besides that, therw is not one example of anyone praying to anyone but God in the Bible. No the 24 elders carrying incense does not come close to counting.

Wonder which ones u read??

Pope Damasus I “Likewise it is decreed . . . that it ought to be announced that . . . the holy Roman Church has been placed at the forefront not by the conciliar decisions of other churches, but has received the primacy by the evangelic voice of our Lord and Savior, who says: ‘You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it; and I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . . ’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. The first see, therefore, is that of Peter the apostle, that of the Roman Church, which has neither stain nor blemish nor anything like it”

Early church fathers were mostly 'wrong' I guess st John had no idea what he was writing about. OR st Ignatius or Irienaus or Polycarp of st John chrystom or Clement of the second pope or third ..... According to you the holy spirit was guiding the church from error even with the wolves coming out from among the faithful in every generation including the 16th century.

Your Bible was safeguarded by that false church from the start until Luther. It was that false church that told Luther that the bible was the inspired Word of God. If that church was the Whore of Babylon instead of the Bride if Christ, what makes you think that the whore didn't add error or take out truths and then falsely told Luther that this is inspired scripture? In fact a false church would invariably insert falsehood and distort the truth because it is in its nature to deceive. And remember, the Catholic Church and the Popes had ABSOLUTE POWER and were the sole custodians of the Bible for 1300 years before Luther. It was those "pagan" church fathers and the Popes who approved and finalized your Bible. In fact that is what Muslims claim, that the Christian bible has been corrupted. Maybe you should be a Muslim instead.

Why were they wrong? They were the immediate (or almost immediate) successors of the Apostles. We could at least glance at the teachings that were universal in the Early Church, in the same generation the gospels were written (or the one right after). Unless you mean not being from the actual time of Jesus demerits their words, in which case, oh Lord, our Bible is severely corrupted, my friend. Paul technically did see Jesus (though the resurrected one, and didn't engage in many words) but we also have so many others. Like Luke, quite the big name. Writer of Acts and one whole gospel, that reads: "Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word." Luke 1:1-2 Oh no! Luke was not there??? He did what?? _Interview people?_ And then all those letters, darn our Bible just got cut in more than half.

@@alonsoACR Thanks for your comment. Please dont get me wrong during the years after the 1st century there were many, many faithful Christians. My poin is that the reputation of most of the so called 'church fathers' was due to their interllect, education and ability to write, often prolifically. (Today, most bishops & archbishops in the anglican union are the same. Degrees in uni, often not on religious subjects e.t.c ge. Rowan Williams, Swelbey e.t.c). Paul said "Not many wise were chosen, for God chose the foolish things of the world to put the wise men to shame" ( I Cor 1: 19-29) What about the many faithful Christians who just lived their daily lives as ordinary people with little education but much faith and love for Christ? we dont call them 'saints' e.t.c! Remember too that th Apostles were "unlettered & ordinary men". Also amoung Jesus disciples, what was the background of the one who betrayed him? I can give you details of the philosophic and greek hellenist influence in the writings of most of these 'church fathers'. PS; Polycarp, Clement of Rome & Igantious of Antioch lived the closest to John rhe surviving apostle. Their writings contain less philosophy and focus on the supermacy of the Father and the subordination of the Son. From around the middle of the 2nd century ( around 100 years AFTER Christ the introduction of philosophical views regarding the nature of God and Christ came to the fore.

@@alonsoACR They were not all wrong. I didnt say that. Its just I feel a false impression is given calling them 'church fathers'. They were in the main well educated philosophers who mostly. later in life tried to combine Christianity with greek hellenistic ideas. Remembering Paul's comment that "God chose the foolish things of the world t put the wise man to shame" ( 1 Cor 1:20-30 )On the other hand what about the unnamed thousands of faithful men & women who were true Christians? They have a name with God & not man which is more important!
