The Kingdom of Heaven 

Lord give the grace to who ever reads this comment to be saved

Dr. Pitre, you are amazing. I have just read 'Jesus and the Jewish roots of the Eucharist' and it just blew my mind. I am now reading 'The Case for Jesus' and I love it. It just makes me love my Faith and the Catholic Church even more.

I like this dude.

Excellent. Jesus is alive and living in the hearts of men. His words are powerful and life changing.

Dr. Pitre, thank you. "Mere acquaintance with the Messiah or God is not enough; listening to Jesus teach and preach in the streets of Galilee or Capernaum or Bethsaida isn't enough; He has to KNOW you and you have to leave the life of sin behind and enter into a real communion with him." You have given me much to think about Dr. Pitre with that statement alone. Thank you so much

God bless you, Dr. Pitre. I will remember you in prayer.

Kudos to you, Dr. Pitre!! You have truly followed your calling. A great analytical mind with the ability to explain the intricacies and details of catholic theology on a very understandable level. You are a blessing!

thank you so much Dr Pitre we are blessed to have you in the Church.

Ka-boom! 💣 That really bombed the false teaching of the "once saved, always saved" theology.

Amen, thanks be to God.

Thanks for the excerpt from Mass Readings Explained. I subscribed a few months ago and look forward every week to preparing for Sunday readings. Hearing your explanations has truly awakened in me a desire to learn even more especially about how the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New.

Jesus I trust in you

Those are some sobering verses. Thanks, Dr. Pitre.

Another great teaching from Dr Pitre. God bless!

Excellent talk🙏

Thank you for making these videos 🙏🏼 God bless

It is certainly right to warn of damnation. However, one must still distinguish between the "logic of damnation" which Christ clearly taught and the infinite saving power of His work on the Cross. Christ indeed stated the impossibility of passing a camel through a needle's eye, yet He immediately went on to proclaim that all things are possible with God.

Thanks be to God AM en

This is the best teacher on RU-vid

Beautiful explanation!

Truth..

Very good explanation. Thank you Sir

Yeaa Definitely Def

Wow. You give such wonderful insights and revelations of the Bible. You see things that many of us like me that have missed. Very helpful in my faith and biblical journey. 🙏🙏

ONLY THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE NARROW ROAD WILL BE SAVED. THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND THY NEIGHBOR. WHOEVER DOES ABIDE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND DOES THE WILL OF GOD. WILL BE SAVED. ENTERNAL LIFE IS NOT BY JUST BY GRACE. BUT, THE WILL OF OUR LORD.

true union

Good Job Reading+Reading it x3

Matthews 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Yeaa

It All Depends

I am learning a lot thru you. Unfortunately, tomorrow my short memory does not remember important things you said today

The Fewness of the Saved.

It's not who you know, but who knows you.

Seriusly scary as God will judge all 🥺😲😣🙏

Jesus Said.."the Kingdom of God is Within You.". Everyone who Seeks Jesus and His Righteousness "within" themselves will be Saved.

Scott Hahn has a Catholic Lighthouse CD out on hell, and he totally squashes the false notion going around that no one is in hell. Bishop Robert Barron pushes this down our throats. Thank you dear Jesus for good teachers like Brandt Pitre, Tim Staples, John Bergsma, Tim Gray, Edward Sri, Steve Ray, and Scott Hahn and others that teach the truth!!!

Only god father knows

How many in this world obey Jesus?

Can someone please link me to Dr. Brant Pitre’s talk ok “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect? I can’t seem to find it. Please and thank you!

Workers of iniquity to achieve vanity. Bob Marley sang of our lord.

Another passage to give more clarity that we all believers need to do the will of our Lord. Luke 6:46 -49 46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

What is the name of this talmudic rabbi?

This is true for all who wish to enter through the narrow gate. We are saved by faith and works. First, we have to belong to the One True Church that Jesus Christ founded. Then we have to repent and confess all of our sins to a Priest and take Holy Eucharist and the other Sacraments. We also need to want to be completely detached from sin. The next step is by doing both works of mercy, corporal and spiritual. If we repent sincerely and change our evil ways we have a great chance of being saved. Like Cardinal Sarah said and I quote: "if there is no repentance, there is no mercy." There is no reason to believe that it is easy to go to Heaven.

Those who are evil, believing that they live without a God, will be made an example, followed by those who cannot coexist, as the ones not saved. This is my final decision on who will not be saved verses who will not.

This is soooo very very true!!!! Look to Moses as a type of Jesus, a Christ and the event of the Exodus Israelites that were dealt with immediately after Moses first came down from the mount of GOD with the 10 Commandments and found many of them worshipping the golden calf. Many were found unfaithful and were killed. The were unworthy and full of sin and doers of sin.

You wouldn't tell your inner most secrets (sins) to everyone. But Jesus left us his church and the sacrament of confession. Wouldn't Jesus have a better chance of knowing you, if you used the sacrament, he left you, for the forgiveness of your sins?

Definitely

Just a reminder that you can report spammers who flood the comments section with nonsensical comments.

Whoops. Looks like divine intervention before he even concluded the speech!

Bishop Baron needs to watch this.

I thought some from the generation of the flood were saved in the harrowing of hades? Or am I being too pedantic because I could say the same for Noah?

Thank you, please pray that I repent in sackcloth and ashes.

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you. So start looking.

The Our Father prayer Tells us you'r will 👈be done. Not my will Lord🙈 Matthew 6:9 -13. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

HOW JESUS SAID I WILL SEND AS LAMBS AMONG WOLVES. GO and SPREAD THE GOSPEL JESUS SAID NEITHER I CONDEMN YOU GO! AND SIN NO MORE AND HE REALLY MEANT IT.. JESUS loves his all creation But those who have sinned against GOD JESUS have taken key of Hell He can get those souls who kept their Faith in GOD Not all be saved IF and only IF they will confess their Sins and didnt Deny that GOD created us All and Jesus who died for Us as our passover lamb, the atonement of our sins.. Those who called themselves righteous but workers of evil forces of this world. Only Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life.. Exalt GOD before thyselves.. And before anything else. God bless

What happens to the heart of a person in heaven who misses a love one now in hell?

All that matters is that everyone who accepts JESUS CHRIST as their saviour will be saved

From what I concluded from Scripture the way into the Kingdom is narrow but it also stated that many through Christ will be saved. So taken into consideration it stated in Scripture 1/3rd of His people will be released from the pit indicates that number will be purified as they are saved by fire. In Judaism they also believe in a final purification after death Gehenna. That leaves 2/3rds unaccounted but it's not difficult to figure this out. Taking into consideration that children are unlikely to be condemned in light of God's mercy so the holy innocent would make up the majority of 1/3rd of the souls whom directly enter into Heaven as the few that enter in which Christ was speaking of were those who have reached the age of reason. Which leaves the remaining 1/3rd whom would be those souls condemned to the fire of Hell. So 2/3rds go to the fire but only half will enter into Heaven the other half are condemned to Hell. So 2/3rds will be saved this includes those whom directly entered into Heaven and those whom had undergone a final purification after death. As Scripture stated because of Christ many will be saved if don't believe that you disagree with Scripture.

As long as there is breath, there is hope of repentance from the heart, not just words at the last minute to cover your butt ........Who doesn't know the teachings of grave sin in the Western world today ? it is known and not only not believed but preached against by those with holy orders in our Church .... They choose to indulge iniquity ...and worse, promote it ..... May God have mercy on us

l can't found the catholic church in the in Greek a the pilor of the church???

5:48 you jump around so much, you've confused your Self. The 5 maidens are those who were prepared because they were forgiven. They gave up their life of sin.

Also, that disclaimer at the end of Scott Hahns Catholic Lighthouse CD on hell, is strange and not needed! Sure , only God knows the destination of the soul of Judas, but , if you believe Jesus is God,....... GOD SAID IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER HAD HE NEVER BEEN BORN!

SOMEONE SHOW THIS TO BISHOP BARRON!

So what is the will of God?

Very relatable! a girlfriend who cheated on me and went away with somebody else. I gave her time to come back but she denied and insulted. No way i am gonnna accept her again. I don't wanna speak to her again

I dont know where you come from, does not mean that the master does not know them, but he disown them in those words. He knew them in the past and entertained them and fed them but due to their inequity he cast them out of his kingdom. God give us all the opportunity to become good and honorable guest to his holy banquet. Make sure you come in spot less.

This is one of the topics that has bible and saintly quotes which contradict each other. It would make sense if ALL men fell through Adam that the actions of Jesus would save ALL men. By our own free will we can reject God and go to hell; but the intercession of a loved one (parent for a child; a spouse, etc) can move God to change that situation to their salvation. According to St. Leonard of Port Maurice; during a time when most practiced their religion, only about 3 in 33,000 are saved and the rest damned each day; but in today's age where the vast majority have abandoned religion we have Bishop Barron who would argue we have a reasonable hope most are saved and Hell is empty of humans souls. Guess we will find out at our own death.

This is why we left the episcopal church where 'faith alone' is taught and some openly continue in homosexual lifestyles which is condoned, promoted, and celebrated by the clergy and many members. Can't help but think, someday they will cry; Lord Lord.

God creates all life and all humans will be in heaven

By saying saved we mean 1st resurrection? Because bible says all will be resurrected but only the ones who are resurrected 1st will have immortality. The rest will be resurrected to eternal life or condemnation. So I assume that the generation of the flood etc will be raised again during the 2nd resurrection but will have to go through judgment? 🤔

hmmm, so would it be 'reasonable' to hope that all people are saved anyways?

I wonder if you and Bishop Barron get along Dr. ?

1 Timothy 4:10-11 KJVS [10] For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. [11] These things command and teach. God saves all men through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:9-12 KJVS [9] Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: [10] That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: [11] In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: [12] That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Those who first trusted in Christ will rule and reign with Jesus Christ for a thousand years during the Kingdom of God on earth. Revelation 20:6 KJVS [6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Naa In A Nott Good Way

The only "remnant" is Christ Himself, the Savior of all men. "Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable" (Hebrews 11) "we hope in the living God who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful" (1 Timothy 4) "In hope, the Church prays for all men to be saved" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1821)

I'm trying to reconcile this. I understand the points being made about the teachings but i'm struggling with the part "I never knew you". Jeremiah 1:5 says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you". Surely it would make more sense if in Mathew 7:23 - "And then I will declare to them - depart from me, you evildoers"? Here Jesus would be stating clearly that it is the evil that people do that prevents them from entering heaven. But when he says "I never knew you" - is this an allegorical phrase? Clearly it must be.

I don't know what to call what you did there at the end. Should I maybe call it 'selective windowing' ? You said nothing about the weeping and gnashing of teeth and it doesn't sit well with me.

Out of 2billion followers, there should be abt half of that be saved!😂

I read in the Bible that all have sinned, (Romans 3:23) and that there is none good, no not one Psalm 53:3. . The reason I think about that is because if we have to depend on not sinning, then, who is there hope for? The Bible says we are all sinning and no one is good. Listen to this list: They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; That's Romans and that is a common list. I read that we cannot even do good deeds to gain Heaven. Isa 64:6 says: We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." At James 2:10 it reads: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." So, one sin is as bad as another. If God Haters, and gossips are in the same list, then the sins are the same. Sodom's sin is laziness, pride and not sharing; God says about Sodom at EZ 16:49 "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Then who are we to think that what we do could ever be good enough? Are we not the same? See here at Matt 7: 21-23; "Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'" Listen dear friends, only "Christians" call Jesus "Lord". and they are saying here that they did many great works in His name, "His Name", they knew who He was. Could it be that maybe they were like the Pharisees and thought that they were good enough and did many great things and even obeyed the law to the letter? But, that behavior did not get them in. And why? Because their righteous deeds were like filthy rags. It must be said that certainly God's will is for us to not gossip, Love Him, share and be busy, give to the poor... If these wonderful people at the gate in Matthew 7:21-23 counted on their acts in Jesus Name to get them in and it wouldn't, then, what was Jesus talking about when He said; "he who does the will of my Father"... The answer, of course is in John 6: 40 " For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." in that same chapter, John 6: 28,29 The disciples ask Jesus point blank: Then they said to him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." . That word "believe" means the same in Greek as it does in English; COMPLTET TRUST". If we could gain Heaven by our good deeds, Jesus would have told us so. If we could gain Heaven by not sinning, Jesus would have said that too, but Jesus said is: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life." Complete trust in Jesus. After all, if we could have paid for our own sin with our sinfulness, or worked off our sin,like the good people at the gate. Jesus would not have had to suffer and die. We could have done it ourselves. Jesus death was to atone for our sin and our sin is the ONLY thing that keeps us from The Father and from Heaven. Your sin will keep you out of heaven if you intend to pay for it yourself because you cannot redeem or pay your debt yourself. Can't pay a debt for sin with your sinfulness. Jesus was sinless, and When Jesus paid for your sin, it was a gift, for you: "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ." Did you ever wonder at the stations of the Cross why Jesus went through that? He was God, why did He let them do that to Him? Jesus said the answer: John 10:18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”Jesus gave His life freely, to pay the penalty, the atonement for your sin and mine. Belief, or complete trust in Jesus for the payment for your sin is not easy. and you have to be serious about it, Do you want that free gift of eternal life with Him, have your sins blotted out? The Bible says "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:19 That word "confess" means to come into agreement with, like a contract with your mouth, that Yes. Jesus is MY LORD, He has the right to rule and I believe that He lives, is raised from the dead because I believe, have complete trust that He died for my sin and I accept that gift of His death for my sin and I am sorry for the wrong I have done and for believing that His sacrifice was so unnecessary or incomplete, that I could do something to take it's place.

Can someone send this teaching to Bishop Barron and Pope Francis???

i cant find the word catholic in the bible also the word purgatory 😅😅

The Kingdom of heaven is preached until the stoning of Stephen, then the Gospel is preached. To understand the Gospel is for us, to understand the Kingdom of Heaven is Jewish. To understand the different gospels one has to study the Bible. Notice the importance of the word, Study. There is also an eternal Gospel , appears in revelations.

Na No Never,in A Not Good Way,Yes Si Yea

Why do the Jews not accept Jesus-Yeshua. ??

What if you picked the wrong god?

Na No Never In A Not Good Way,Def Definitely

🤔🤔Protestants? Not being regenerated or renewed through (correct) baptism... Washed from the original sin

25:27 ** and the day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands ( in regret ) he will say : O ! I wish I had taken with the messenger a way ** 25:28 ** Oh , woe to me I wish I had not taken that one as friend ** 25:29 ** he led me away from remembrance after it had come to me , and ever is Satan , to man , a deserter ** 25:27-28-29 HOLY QUR'AN

People, run from Babylon. Save yourselves. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. -Revelation 18:2

What happen in Israel right now.....they denied Jesus.... .No wonder when Jesus come again...most of israelites are denied enter in kingdom of God.

Jesus saves the whole world ...

Repent or perish.

So he doesn't mention anything about him being the bread of life. What's the point of being Catholic then?

Isn’t god all knowing ? So why would he release us to earth only to know that we will go to hell ? Someone help me understand this .

But doesn't if become a problem when one finds there was no "Flood" and for all intents an purposes, Moses Exodus was a myth as well? Kind of throws a wrench in any of these conclusions.

Sola Fide !

I am a fan of Dr. Brant. But these 10 minutes is really a waste of time. He had better used these ten minutes to explain what the Kingdom of Heaven/New World meant to the contemporaries of our Lord instead of having wasted it in explaining whoever will enter which is very plainly stated in the verse itself.

Remember wat. Jesus of Nazareth said the court of gentiles is not measure. The 144 trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions will go to heaven u better have Jesus of Nazareth the son of the living God, remember wat Jesus chirst said everything that breathe praise the lord Jesus of Nazareth GB.💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Na No Never In A Not Good Way,Na No Never,In A Not Good Way

5:24 He does not recognize you because you are still clothed in filth from sin and have not been cleaned by God because you did as God commands us. Take to heart all of the gospel named Matthew, the name Matthew in Hebrew means a gift from God😉 We have been lied to our whole lives by all the religions.
