Rescuing the Bible from Experts | Scott Hahn on CA Focus 

There were no PHDs back then... and why would he choose the very people who crucified him? Makes no sense... however if you read the biblical commentary of St. John Chrysostom, there is no doubt that the early church had many scholars who guided them. Even St. Peter went around teaching the apostolic fathers. Having said this, nearly every Protestant denomination on the planet prays that The Holy Spirit would help them interpret the scriptures and all of the thousands of interpretation that have come out of Protestantism, Protestants believe are inspired by The Holy Spirt but in reality... none of them are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Only The Magesterium is

@@famvids9627 your claims don’t hold water when in fact Jesus did pick a person who facilitated his death (Judas) and many/most who denied him or abandoned Jesus, during his most need (Peter and the rest lest John). My claim still stands. He did not pick scribes or Pharisees of the day, but men who through the Holy Spirit was appointed to do great things. Having a degree of today or a title at a school of thought of philosophy of that day, does not make one spiritually qualified to serve as a shepherd in the church (see the letters of Timothy and Titus for the special qualifications of elders bishops and deacons, and by extension Priests). Your example of St. John Chrysostom is not relevant since he did not know Jesus nor the 12 when Jesus started his ministry. Saint John Chrysostom was born into a Christian family in Antioch in the year 349 AD.

But isn't it amazing how everyone has a different opinion on it and would have had also in Saint Peter Saint Pauls days too had the bible been around that they would have had to correct as they did anyway to community.

Well, St. Paul was a pharisee. I get what you're saying, but sometimes the Holy Spirit does want scholars.

@@CatholicSaintslayIncorrupt Read 2 Timothy 3:16 and get back to us…

Hopefully in Christ or it is just a vacation

And over and over again🙏😇

@@krysta-ajhaah-min-yah8368 a catholic introduction to the Bible, The Old Testament By John Bergsma & Brant Pitre Its a big thick book of course, I haven't read it yet, but ik it has alot of typology

Seriously and he is SO humble! He is so blessed. God works through him and Dr Hahn happily and readily responds to the Holy Spirit

Absolutely hench why I love to watch him from New Zealand 🇳🇿 he is meek and humble of heart. God bless you Dr Scott Hahn. 🇳🇿🙏📿❤️

I’d be careful with that. Church documents aren’t to be seen in the same way as the Bible. Therefore, I don’t think they should be interpreted or studied in the same way. Vatican II did away (somewhat) with the Latin Mass and it created so many negative outcomes/consequences in the Church. I believe there were some things that were good from Vatican II but I cannot accept what they did to the Mass of all ages.

O... you mean, you started reading the book. I thought you "started politicising the Bible". I was like ... what!!!

I went Catholic to LCMS Lutheran. Stay!

Read the early church fathers and they resemble the RCC the most. It’s the true faith brother!

I have. That’s a big leap. I’ll side on the side of scripture. The church is very inconsistent

Putting complete faith in Christ is key. Catholics are saved, no doubt

try lookint at the you tube videos "On the journey with Matt and Ken" Great stuff.... Lots of answers to questions.

I would rather say “we” as referring to humanity as a whole rather than just one religion

@@thescoobymike God gave the universal (Catholic) religion for all of humanity, but He will not force you to accept it. If you choose not to, you are choosing to distance yourself from humanity. That is your choice, but you cannot accept everyone to be terrorized by your desire to separate yourself forever.

@@VACatholic terrorized?

@@thescoobymike Yes?

@@thescoobymike I would rather say "We" as in the whole human race also but its just not the way it is. There is wheat and there is weeds

Of course. Roman Priests are not Christians to begin with. Completely fake religion masquerading as true Christianity. Get out!

The secular academics are scared of Mohamedans so they don't tell you what they think of the Quran. So, no? Because they're not comparable?

it did if you have any more questions feel free to ask

@@alonsoACR Are you sure? Please elaborate if you can.

Yes, God the Father is the one who gave the 10 commandments the same God of the other prophets in the old testament. Is your confusion that Jesus refers to himself as I AM?

He'll be silent or give a lukewarm answer - but you can be sure he won't defend Pope Francis - he would have done it by now.

He had an interview recently with Matt Fradd and sort of went into such topics. It’s not that Dr. Hahn doesn’t touch controversies, he just doesn’t typically wade into polemics or rant publicly

@@jefffinkbonner9551 do u have a link to which PWA episode?

@@weaponofchoice-tc7qs They had the Church, and the Church provided us the Bible. The Bible is, in fact, part of the Church itself. By leaning to the Church of Jesus Christ is how we end up leaning on the Bible. I hope this made sense.

I think he just spoke a bit unclearly. He was going up through the different levels of life. Plants grow, animals are sensitive, and humans are rational.

I’ve had more rational interactions with vegetables than with some people, tbh

The KJV is a protestant Bible and a very poor translation even by the standards of protestant Bibles.I would go as far as to say it is the second worst translation available [after the NWT, which is the JW Bible].

King James was a politician. Why would anyone read his version of the Bible. Like reading the Barack Obama version.

KJV wasn't even around till about 1560

@@priscillaashton4304 - 1610.

The catholic church gave u the bible. If u are Outside the church that put the bible together (because the bible did not make itself) then you are not in the church of God.

Hahahaha

I was just looking to see if anyone had posted this before I did.

Books make money

What does that mean?

Read it with others and an open mind. Pray for guidance first. See.

Start with John.😉

I don't understand your question? The Quran is false, so the more anyone reads it, the more people will realize it's false. This is pretty obvious.

@@VACatholic My point is that the same is true for the Bible

@@thescoobymike Right, you're going to have to actually come with an argument. Your assertion that the Quran and the Bible have the same historical and truth value is something you have to prove, not something you can assert and just expect people to believe. It's not like Catholics don't have answers to your questions and objections, but you're going to actually have to provide one, otherwise it's impossible to have a conversation.

@@VACatholic Muslim apologists have plenty of answers too

@@thescoobymike Good argument.

@WeaponOfChoice sure from the Dogmas of your infallible church. The blind leads the blind . Foxes have holes and birds have nest's,but the son of man has no place to lay his head. This church concept was hard to define during the Vatican 2 proceedings. They certainly changed their infallibility by the outside the church no salvation Dogma.

@@frederickanderson1860 No matter how you hate the Catholic church. It doesn't change the fact that your primary Christian beliefs owe it's origin to Catholic church. Christ is the founder.

@@collinssheen8462 so sad a typical brain washed response. Repeat the same dogmatic lies and many will believe in them. Thats a cult for sure, check out the meaning of a cult, total brain washing and no questions asked. The blind leading the blind and both will fall into the ditch.sheep follow the goat to the slaughter pen because the goat bleating is same. The same parroting of Peter is the Rock blah blah blah. Rock is a symbol of a firm solid foundation, now common sense tells me between Peter & jesus,l think l know how many would choose jesus.

You're just going to ignore the people who wrote it? If a chef said "I'll make this meal by Cookbook Alone!" he'd be a laughingstock. You'd need a kitchen with oven and supplies, all the ingredients and all the training and know-how. In principle the Church Christ established is no different. Our faith rests equally on the three-pronged foundations of Holy Tradition, Sacred Scripture, and the divinely instituted teaching authority, the Magisterium. Any one of those three being relied upon in isolation from the other two is incomplete and leads to distortions and instability, with the result being that true worship pleasing to God would no longer be in effect, just like a meal no longer able to be properly cooked.

@@ironymatt I have a bible, a brain, the holy spirit and the body of Christ. I know my Master's voice and staying in the bible keeps me safe from all the wolves who want to destroy me with false doctrine.

@@ironymatt - question: what is the pillar and bulwark of TRUTH?? Gotta be the Bible , right? Hint- Check out 1 Tim 3:15. (I’ll solve the question- it’s THE CHURCH. ). So since Protestantism is a 16th century invention of men, kinda leaves your church out. Peace.

Hard to argue.

Hi! Although everyone can have their own worldview, those are not in accordance with the church. Evolutionism and Geocentrism are not contrary nor necessary. Hope this can help, praised be JC!

@@galileovenica6449 Evolutionism is unscientific and the reason is because it makes illogical leaps thru faulty philosophy. Read the first chapter of Logos Rising. Geocentrism is the biblical worldview supported by scripture obviously and virtually all the church fathers. Watch them doco ‘The Principle’

If you take a fundamentalist approach, remember that you’ll have a lot of explanations to do in Genesis (especially). One of the many is, “How was it possible that God created the light on the first day and yet, another light was created on the fourth day?” Or the fact that there were only Cain, Adam, and Eve (after Cain killed Abel) on earth, and yet, Cain apparently went to make a family of his own.

@@friendly_user1233 the first/fourth day light thing is not a problem, and requires equivocation to claim it is. Who exists on the earth is similarly not problematic, if one assumes that the Bible doesn't tell you literally everything that's happening, which is obviously true. So realistically, you have more to do to explain how evolution makes any sense with respect to God creating Adam from the dust of the earth and breath, and Eve from the rib of Adam. Both of those things are directly in contravention of "evolution", depending on how you define that motte and bailey term. So, not exactly, imo.

I love the bible verse you are quoting. I use it every day to question my own faith and my behaviour (which should be one and consistent, but I am a sinner). Your argument, though, fails because you base it in Sola Scriptura -implying that only what is in the Bible is what Jesus said and did. Which John himself states is not all contained in the Bible (John 20:30). I would respectfully recommend you read a book by Dr. Hahn, since you are watching one of his videos. The one I have dear to my heart is "Rome Sweet Home". He and his blessed wife address your questions there much better than I could. God bless you, brother, in your journey of faith.

@@bonohyogurt "Your argument, though, fails because you base it in Sola Scriptura -implying that only what is in the Bible is what Jesus said and did. Which John himself states is not all contained in the Bible (John 20:30). I would respectfully recommend you read a book by Dr. Hahn. He and his blessed wife address your questions." If you read this guys video, then, answer one question for me. Where did he say in his book that Jesus taught _in Scripture_ that the Godhead is triune and that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are co-equal in glory and co-eternal in majesty? One other thing. According to John 20:30, not everything Jesus said and did are recorded in Scripture. So, tell me, are we judged on what is _in_ the Bible or on what is not in Scripture? And another thing, do you believe that what Jesus taught _in_ Scripture would be contradicted by what is not recorded? John 21:25 tells you why not all of what Jesus said and did was made a matter of record. As it says: "There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written." As you can see, the God of the Bible, whose name is Yahweh [or Jehovah] has given us enough of Jesus' teachings to know what what Jesus meant when he said: "If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; [and] you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31, 32) Those teachings are found in the Bible. If you believe his teachings are found somewhere else, tell me where.

Sola Scriptura is not Biblical, therefore the foundation of your interpretation of the faith and Bible is not accurate or flat out false. Unless you fully understand Catholic teaching, don’t knock it.

@@littleone1656 Let's see. You mention sola scriptura and Catholic teachings. Now, tell me, where in the Bible or anywhere else did the Catholic Church get the belief that worshiping inanimate objects like statues and relics is acceptable?

Ever since the satanic cult of sola scriptura a man made tradition was introduced by a devil possessed man, heretics like Calvin, Smyth, Zwingli, started to hijack the Bible and interpret it on their wild imagination even adding their wishful thinking on and on and on and on by now after five hundred years more fifty thousand heretic group are operating in the same way. Perhaps the gates of hell is helping them now, many of them are dying rapidly

The God of the early church, which is Christ Himself and His kingdom, “the church of Christ” destroyed the Roman Empire. And it will destroy all civil government and all churches that Christ did not build “at the end of time.”

St. Ignatius 50-107 AD. wrote : where there is Jesus Christ be , there is the catholic Church the first time the words Catholic Church where written , St. Ignatius and ST. Polycarp where taught by John the Apostle and they knew Peter , James and the other Apostles ,there were Bishops the Mass and Eucharist in the first century , no bible for 400 years , tradition the only way, sounds Catholic me , Yes .

the Church had to chain the bible down because it would be stolen and it would take many months to rewrite it , also many could not read , and you mention the bible was closed for a thousand years makes no since .

@@ronaldeglewski3073 , Look it up!

Ignorant statement. Modern Italians, Spanish and French can understand each other and the Latin from which they derive. Church also preserved writing, books, and created the universities. Luther was a fornicator who rebelled to indulge in his passions. The German princes forcibly converted their subjects so they could loot church property.

JESUS TO THE APOSTLES , Early Fathers to today , Protestant , Luther , Calvin , and Zwingli to today ,find the true (Church )

Hahaha a lot of people in the comment section disagree with you that he’s leading ppl away from the Bible. Your anti-Catholicism is showing.
