Ex-slaves?? Gosh, I wonder what's their story....

What "god"?

@@chikkipop Lord Jesus Christ

@@heartofpuregold Where is this "Lord" and how do I get in touch with it? I'd like to verify its existence.

@@chikkipopsome helpful suggestions are to visit your local catholic church at attend a mass. You can just observe and ask God to reveal His personal presence in your life. Get a copy of the Bible and start reading. Ask Lord Jesus Christ to prove to you He is real. You will see your questions answered because God words never returns to Him void. God bless.

@chikkipop Use basic logic and reason and it’s pretty easy to verify the existence of God

*"I love Tom and am praying for his conversion."* Why would a thinking person "convert" to unreasonable belief?!

@@chikkipop you have no thought outside of The Church.

@@JPX7NGD AND I have no idea what that could possibly mean! I don't suppose you'll explain, because people who make such unintelligible comments rarely do.

@@chikkipop stop blaspheming.

​@@JPX7NGDThat's SO funny! ❤

Especially how they murdered the Gnostics and the Cathars, just to name a few. It's the religion of Jesus alright. I cringed watching this tripe. Tom Holland knows SFA about Catholicism and a hell of a lot about bollocks. He's just one more reason I feel ashamed to be a human being. It wasn't meant to be this grotesque.

@aleccullen2696 You know who were grotesque? The Cathars and their dualistic death cult.

@@avoidingbabylon the Catholics and Protestants all need a savior. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be forgiven and saved for eternal life with Jesus forevermore in Paradise

The full interview is linked in the description

@@avoidingbabylon Apparently it is premiering today.

@BensWorkshop No, that’s another clip from the full interview. The full interview is in the description of this video.

@@avoidingbabylon I will take a look.

Why does it deserve a "fair shake"? It promotes falsehoods.

@@chikkipop Give a few examples, please?

@@diamondlou1 1. It promotes the idea that a "god" exists 2. It promotes the idea that this "god" is the source of our moral sense. 3. It promotes the idea that humans are "fallen" and "sinful" 4. The entire enterprise is based upon ancient myth, and promotes "faith" as a legitimate worldview It is wrong about so much, at its very core. No one should be Catholic, or any other religion, because they all encourage false beliefs and discourage discovery of those falsehoods.

@@chikkipop So starting with #1, I'll let you prove that God doesn't exist.

If you love catholism it’s fine but it is not biblical and it does not present and follow the God of the Bible. If you go to catholic church, how they teach you to be Jesus like as a disciple. Do they teach you to go to the world like Jesus and cast out demons, pray for people to them to get the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues. Do they teach that you are the church and the temple and we are all the royal priesthood, there is no room for catholic priest system and cardinals etc. That all is severe sin before the Lord. Do they teach to keep the Sabbath holy on saturday and eat clean as the Bible tells us? What about the statues and images of Jesus and saints and kissing those? It is a sin towards the Lord.

Do you follow the law regarding clothing? What about having fires on Sabbath? Do you drive your combustable engine on sabbath? Youre a hypocrite ​@@JussiYlitalo

@@ThedisciplemikeI follow Christ like Paul and all the apostles followed. ”But I confess this to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing in all things which are written throughout the Law and in the Prophets” Acts 24:14

@JussiYlitalo so do i.... which is exactly why I'm Catholic

@@JussiYlitalo answer my questions

*"God is truly watching"* What "god" and how would you know this stunning information? And why is ancient superstition the only alternative to wandering aimlessly around soulless retail parks and watching sports from the lethargy of our sofas?

I’m about the most well read in history person you could know and I have the opposite view. The more I read about the Church of Rome the more I realize it was never the church of Jesus.

@spiderknight9893 Lol sure bud

He was still Anglican when he’d said this though; he leaned towards historical AND common faith of his day, and for him that meant the Oxford Movement, Anglo-Catholicism and normalization of Anglicanism with the past and present of classical Christianity. Of course that didn’t manifest and he followed his words for the most part alone.

Thou shall not lie

It's called click-bait. It's been used by the Catholic since its inception in 325 AD.

@aleccullen2696 Lol another Prot with the most brain dead take ever

@@aleccullen2696 You're only off by about 325 years, but what the hey. 🙄

Hell will be filled with what we deem to be good people. The only question will be if they follow Jesus.

Nope, sorry, good people can be found everywhere.... even in religious circles. Not Religion makes them good, but common sense and the use of natural kindness and logical thinking. We all got to this modern century now because of science and common sense. Common sense like : war is not good. And we got here to this fine place even though religion has always tried to hold back any sensible new developement.

Yes, but The Church does not sin, men of The Church do. Important to note that.

Only a few days ago I was thinking about the smattering of history we learned in school: a bit about democracy in ancient Athens, something about Confucius, and then we skipped right to the French Revolution and spent the rest of our time in modernity. That's quite the blank spot in our history! Having filled in that blind spot a bit, I figure that was all left out to avoid any mention of Christendom. The integral contribution of the church in world history might be a bit awkward to handle for a liberal, secular public school system.

​@jessewilliams15 but the god of the bible let's men destroy in his name whilst he either, sits back and is indifferent to their sins, or he's a sociopath and enjoys the chaos and hurt or he's non existent, any of those traits gives me no interest in having that god in my life, far healthier spiritual paths to follow

The bible was brought by the Orthodox church not Catholic.

Yes, why do you start from circa 900 AD? I'm not Catholic but you seem to sell the church short. Did converting England and large parts of Europe not shape world history? What am I missing?

the church was firstly Catholic and the Celtic peoples added to the richness of the Roman Church.

@@benevenuto9794agreed - there was initially one united Catholic faith that was Orthodox. The East/West schism was many years in the future.

The whole interview was about the book

Huh?

Why are you so sure?

That was a typo. It was meant to be "dog".

@@aleccullen2696 Definitley no typo

@@rontimus Then that makes it worse. It's blasphemy and more of the humbug that's destroying orthodox "religion".

@@aleccullen2696 Have I not said ye are gods? And has not Holland always been upfront about his agnosticism?

@@rontimus Jesus is said to have said that. I know different. You could too if you read ex-priest Tom Harpur's book "The Pagan Christ". Just because people get conned by bollocks doesn't mean to say they're gods amongst historians. The world is so flooded with BS today it may very well be end times. That provides some sort of hope at least.

Cope and seethe harder lol

You dare to blaspheme the glorious Reformation and its messiah Martin J. Luthor? Repent of your blasphemy that the messiah, Martin J. Luthor might think about forgiving you some day.

If you are in Purgatory, you DO have the assurance of salvation.

@@ArnoldConrad I can hear little kids talking here.

@@aleccullen2696 What does that mean?

@@ArnoldConrad I mean what Freud meant when he said Christianity is infantile. Mature souls don't succumb to fear and threats of damnation from idiot priests.

@@aleccullen2696 I sensed it was meant to be an insult. A pretty crude one too, arrogant and smug. Enjoy your sense of superiority.

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be forgiven and saved for eternal life with Jesus forevermore in Paradise. There is only one reason that people are lost which is for rejecting Jesus as their Lord and savior. Call on Jesus and settle your eternity forevermore with Jesus

@@seanrathmakedisciples1508 Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven"

@@matthewrodgers1885 You are right. Saint Peter gave us the keys to the kingdom in Acts 2:38. First step. Repentance from sin to the Heavenly Father and calling on Jesus directly for forgiveness and salvation. Step 2 is being baptized into Christ Jesus for the remission of sins which is always full immersion into water ( Christ ) Step 3 is asking Jesus to fill us with His Holy Spirit. Step 4. A Spirit filled believer becomes a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ by renewing our minds daily by God’s word daily starting at the gospel of John chapter 14 onwards.while making other disciples on our journeys with Jesus 24/7 . We can’t fool God. We’re either in Christ or still in the Adams family.

Hey, nothing sad about that. Things go foreward. Schism happen. Divorce happens. Its always going foreward. It always gets better. Old religions will die .... it just takes a few millenia, old concepts are allowed to be buried. We Europeans survived the dark middle ages. Science and Renaissance lifted us from this darkness. Science will always go foreward. It doesnt end. Religion is only the wish for emotional protection and that what some humans call Meaning. Science is only a magnifying glass. Use it or remain in darkness.

Funny, the Bible does not say that the Bible is the determiner of religious truth

@@avoidingbabylon -- Actually it does, in that it is only Scripture that is God-breathed and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness [not Tradition, Papal pronouncements, creeds, council reports, et al], making the man of God complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work (meaning that all that other stuff is, at best, superfluous. Isaiah shows us how we are to test teachings, by going 'to the law and to the Testimony [those parts of Scripture which are not the Mosaic Law; this is not a reference to some Oral Tradition]'. Any teachings not in accord with what has been given as Holy Writ is to be rejected. (Is 8:19-20)

@gregb6469 The Holy Bible says the THE CHURCH is the pillar and foundation of truth.

@@avoidingbabylon -- Your interpretation of I Tim 3:15 assumes two things--1) that the church spoken of in the verse is the RCC, and 2) that it is the church, not the Living God, that is the pillar and ground of the truth.

Lol sure bud

@@avoidingbabylon Yes. Absolutely sure!

"Mutually exclusive? " You can't even logic. Hyperbole is a gateway drug.

@@veronica_._._._ Lol..."I can't even logic"...I like that! The meaning of MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE is being related such that each excludes or precludes the other; also : incompatible That absolutely clearly describes catholicism and Christianity. Totally incompatible!

@@brucedavenport7016 Incompatable and mutually exclusive are 2 completely different things, except to hubristic ingrates. God gave us his Universal Church. 1 1/2 millennia later pride filled beings asset stripped Christ's church and fragmented into a 1001 opinionated cults lacking the basis humility to receive Discernment, and literally misreading Scripture that they also atomise to fit their every purpose, ignoring intertextuality etc. all the while exhibiting psychotic certainty in their own self serving biases. Every Pastor is his own Pope, but also every congregant is their own Pope, and every day is a fresh opportunity to sin against the Holy Ghost.

Ah, but also Faith is a gift which he also received. I will keep you in my prayers and also encourage you to ask God for the gift of faith as well. It can't hurt, right?

Check Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica.

@@Lerian_V Thats a joke, the unsuccessful intentions of Thomas Aquina to proove his god? It doesnt go over wishful thinking. As a Deist I tell you that god didnt create anything material :)

@@user-vm5yk2js6w Which of his arguments can you refute? To say that his god didn't create anything material is to inadvertently admit you haven't studied the Summa.

@@Lerian_V Just to come back to what I wrote: Which evidence do you have for any supernatural character or happening in the bible or the quran?

@@user-vm5yk2js6w Going back to my response, the evidence is in Aquinas' Summa, which you haven't studied.

Why should we believe you? It is far more reasonable to believe 2000 years of devout brilliant minds wrestling with the truth, which is what the Catholic Church is, in addition to being the creation of Christ.

@@leomullins You don’t have to believe me,you need to believe in Biblical revelation. False religions believe in a works based Salvation,which is contrary to Biblical truth.

Historians don’t use that inaccurate term any longer

Exactly. The correct term is the Dumb Ages. It starts somewhere around 300,000 BCE and hopefully will end one day in the next 4 or 5 million years.

@@avoidingbabylon I know. Denial is the new religion as we head back into a new Dark Age. I believe my own eyes before any historian in denial and towing the party line.

Luther condemned views of Ulrich Zweingli as heretical. He even supported the execution of heretics. And very championed organized Protestant religion with support of German Princes.

Christian is my name, Catholic is my last name. All of us should have the first name, but it is in the last name where the difference are. The word catholic was used for the first time in a letter from St. Ignatius of Antioch (A.D. 35 to 107) The Greek root of the term catholic means “according to the whole” or “universal.” Ignatius uses the term to refer to the visible and authoritative Church: “See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”-Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8 Ignatius urges the faithful to submit to the authority of their bishop because it is the will of God: “But inasmuch as love suffers me not to be silent in regard to you, I have therefore taken upon me first to exhort you that you would all run together in accordance with the will of God. For even Jesus Christ, our inseparable life, is the manifested will of the Father; as also bishops, settled everywhere to the utmost bounds of the earth, are so by the will of Jesus Christ… Let us be careful, then, not to set ourselves in opposition to the bishop, in order that we may be subject to God.” -Letter to the Ephesians, Ch 3,5 Ignatius recognizes the authority, or “presidency,” in particular of the Church at Rome: “Ignatius, also called Theophorus, to the Church that has found mercy in the greatness of the Most High Father and in Jesus Christ, his only son; to the Church beloved and enlightened after the love of Jesus Christ, our God, by the will of him that has willed everything which is; to the Church wich also holds the presidency in the place of the country of the Romans, worthy of God, worthy of honor, worthy of blessing, worthy of praise, worthy of success, worthy of sanctification, and because you hold the presidency of love, named after Christ and named after the Father; here therefore do I salute in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father.” -Letter to the Romans, Intro Ignatius indicates that the Church at Rome possessed the authority to teach others: “You have envied no one; but others you have taught. I desire only that what you have enjoined in your instruction may remain in force.” -Letter to the Romans, Ch 3 Finally, Ignatius confirms-as do other Church Fathers-that this authoritative Church at Rome was founded by Peter and Paul: “Not as Peter and Paul did, do I command you. They were apostles and I am a convict. They were free, and I even to the present time am a slave.” -Letter to the Romans, Ch 4. On the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the Flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.”-Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 6. Ignatius also explains that the Eucharist must be administered either by a bishop or one of his ordained ministers: “Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is administered either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it.” -Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Ch 8.

@@atgred I follow the Bible and the teaching of the Apostles in the New Testament not church history and the so-called ”church fathers” which came after the apostles. There is no salvation in any sect of christianity but in Jesus Christ only.

Protestants can't even agree on a Baptism or Salvation. Each Protestant has their version of the "truth" just like those who are anti-Christian.

@@JussiYlitalo agreed. Good thing we have the living Body of Christ present on Earth to guide us, through its Magisterium, on matters of faith so that we do not have to rely on our own flawed understanding. Christ’s Church is not a “sect”.

Such a braindead and easily refuted myth. The Inquisition executed 4,000 people over 400 years. That is less people executed per year than the modern US.

@@avoidingbabylon Well, it only burned to death 4000 people. In that case i can see why you joined it. Just a quick question....What is a religion doing burning people to death? And at that a religion that claims to be the true religion, guided by the holy ghost. I get the impression thats youre OK with the CC burning people to death.

@@avoidingbabylon Friend, i just noticed something. You called my comment about burning people to death...."a braindead and easily refuted myth." Then you go on and admit the CC killed 4000 people. (;-D I appreciate your honesty. Most catholic deny the CC killed anyone.

@@avoidingbabylon Hey, what happened to my comment?

Most of the executions were not by fire. Also, those 4,000 were executed only after fair trials in which evidence obtained by torture could not be admitted. It was the most fair justice system of its day.
