St Ignatius was the catalyst for me also. He was evangelized by the Apostle who wrote John 6. Do ya suppose he asked John if it was symbolic or real? How determined do you have to be to hold on to wrong beliefs and ignore truth to say Ignatius can be ignored because it isn’t Scripture? Do you hold that opinion on anything else you ever read about? I don’t believe accounts of the Civil War for example because it’s not infallible Scripture? When I saw literally hundreds of Christians across multiple centuries, cultures and languages all saying the same things for CENTURIES I knew I had to return to the Catholic Church simply because it was true. So for those outside the Church reading this you have a question to soul search for. “Do I love Truth and will I follow wherever it leads whether I like it or not? If you do just look up “apostolic fathers” online and read some of their writings. Remember Paul’s warning to the godless, “they SUPPRESS the Truth in wickedness.” We don’t have the option to look away because it might make demands on us.
To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant. The Catholic Church canonized the New Testament and gave the Bible to the world. It's a Catholic Book.
I love the work you guys do but I do have one criticism to make. Terry’s interruptions and chiming in after nearly every sentence the guest makes, is hard to listen to.
Mr Barber, you are excellent. But you say too many interjections (wow, yes, of course, I bet, sure, right etc...). They are unecessary and distracting. They disrupt the flow of what the guest is saying. They make it harder to pay attention to what the guest is saying. Thank you.
John 3:3 KJV Bible - When Christians are born again they have Jesus. He's not in a wafer. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 KJV Bible - Popes are not vicars of Christ, nor infallible. “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
If you read the bible it certainly would not have led you to Catholicism. It would have taken you in the other direction. Nothing the church teaches is in scripture.
