      God did reveal that in the Hebrews 13:4 and also many other places: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." Jesus says in Matthew 5:27-28: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shouldn't commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." What a difficult standard! Thank God for sending Jesus to live the perfect life we are unable to and to take on our constant sin so that we could accept that free gift, trust in His finished work, and ultimately be freed from the punishment of our disobedience.

    The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed! The New Testament is the Old Testament REVEALED! There is symmetry in the entire Holy Bible! The keys to understanding the Old Testament Holy Scriptures is to seek the Lord Jesus Christ on every single page (Luke 24:27-34)! The Old Testament is so fertile and rich with symbolism, Christ types, bible numerology! IF I was a lost Jew, seeking to know if Christianity is right, I can find the answer in Genesis 9! Here we can see that Christianity is part of the Holy Scriptures and that Jesus must be the Messiah because the Torah cannot be honored since the temple was destroyed in 70AD and the genealogical records are lost destroyed! (Here, Genesis 9, verses... state: 18 And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. Noah is a type Christ. He symbolized the Lord Jesus Christ who saved the world from the law of Sin and Death; the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Noah is also the father of the human race that survived the global flood! Noah is also the symbol of us, human beings. In these verses, Noah got drunk and passed out. Satan (Lucifer) is the accuser (Revelation 12:9-11) and prosecutor railing at each and every one of us to the judge (God the Father). Noah is a sinner just like us and he is not perfect. Satan is exposing Noah. I am guessing that he is telling God the Father (Yaweh): look at Noah. Noah is a hypocrite. Noah is a drunkard... Noah is a gluten... Look at this fallen shameful sinner... hypocrite... He vomited after he got drunk and is now passed out and sleeping in his pool of vomit... In Genesis 9, Satan is using Ham as his microphone. Shem and Japheth took a garment and covered their father Noah's nakedness and shame. Shem symbolizes the Old Testament which was written in Hebrew and Aramaic (important languages from the House of Shem). Japheth symbolizes the New Testament, which was written in Greek (an important language from the House of Japheth). The garment symbolizes the finished work of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. All the sins and shame of Noah are covered by the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ bought and paid for Noah with His own precious blood on the cross at Calvary. Japheth will dwell in Shem's tents refers to the fact that all of Europe would embrace the New Testament to the point that they will be known as "Christendom." And, the Jews will remain loyal to the God of Noah (Shem) and hold faith in the Masoretic Text (Old Testament) but unfortunately Ham drifted away from the God of Noah and fell into false religions and idols. We know from Genesis 9 that the New Testament is truly part of the Holy Bible! Japheth will truly be enlarged not just in world exploration and commerce and emigrate beyond Europe to inhabit the Americas, Australia, Asia, Africa... but Japheth and Shem will improve the entire world through their science, technology, mathematics, and other disciplines of knowledge. Ham will depend upon the great knowledge of Shem and Japheth to survive and improve their own lives. ALL OF GENESIS 9 has already happened! The WHOLE WORLD DEPENDS upon the great knowledge and inventions of Shem and Japheth. Shem and Japheth have indeed improved the quality of life of the whole globe! We all depend upon Shem and Japheth's science, technology, mathematics, agriculture, commerce, economics, inventions....! Without Shem and Ham's great knowledge and contributions, the entire world would be so much worse off right now! We know from Genesis 9, that the Holy Scriptures came from the Masoretic Text (Shem; Old Testament) and Textus Receptus (Japheth; New Testament), and not from false religions like Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism,... There are other ways to view Genesis 9 like different camera angles of an athletic performance, but I thought this perspective would be helpful.

    0:37 _"Are vicious circular arguments logically invalid?"_ Well for starters, the descriptor "viciously" is attempting to fallaciously create a difference without a distinction. And the basis upon which circular argumentation is challenged is not on logical validity, rather on soundness. So pointing out that a circular argument is logically valid (which it is) fails to address the actual criticism. As far as soundness goes, no circular (and/or question begging) argument _can_ be accepted as sound. The "arguments" are simply disguised assertions, that lack any justification. (if there was any justification outside of the "argument" then it wouldn't be a circular argument. 2:57 _"I'm simply asking you if it's viciously circular to employ your reasoning to justify your reasoning."_ Circularity is irrelevant. Sye's arbitrary requirement that "reasoning be justified" is simply an incoherent demand. Reasoning is the tool we use to justify things. If you ask me to justify reason I can either do that by using reason, or without reason. If I attempt to do it without reason ten _by definition_ I'm not actually providing any _reasonable_ justification. So the only option left is to use reason to justify reason, which isn't circular in the way Sye is trying to suggest. Just like I can test a hammer by using the hammer, I can test reason by using reason. It isn't circular unless I define my standard as whatever the outcome of the test is. 7:53 _"So how do you know your reasoning is valid?"_ Another irrelevant question. Validity (in this context) deals with logical structure. What Sye is really trying to get at is "How do you know your reasoning is efficacious?" And Alex's answer is perfectly reasonable. After testing his reasoning repeatedly over decades and his reasoning yielding the expected results it can be known to be efficacious. Of course Sye wants to split hairs here and suggest that anything that isn't known _with epistemic certainty_ doesn't qualify as knowledge, but this is just an arbitrary standard that Sye made up, and fallaciously invokes as an equivocation. Also, "reason" is simply an axiomatic system. These systems, don't require and definitionally cannot have any external justification. Just like there is no justification for the rules (axioms) of chess, there is no justification for the axioms of reason. All that is required to play chess is a mutual understanding of the rules and an agreement to abide by them. As long as one is operating within those rules then it is true that one is playing chess. If someone breaks the rules, they are operating outside of the axioms (rules) of chess so they are _definitionally_ no longer playing chess. Likewise, if I'm following the axioms of reason I am _by definition_ being reasonable, if I follow the axioms of logic, I am _by definition_ being logical. That Sye thinks any other justification is possible let alone necessary just goes to show Sye's PROFOUND misunderstanding of the nature of logic, reason, and other axiomatic system.

    The archeological record proves - Israelites are Canaanites - the exodus didn't happen as described in the Bible - the ancient Israelites worshipped Canaanite gods such as El, Asherah, and their sons, Baal, YHWH, etc. - No conquest of Canaan took place - Jericho fell centuries before Israelites found it The academic consensus of archeologists, historians, and even biblical scholars is that Moses, Abraham, and Joshua are fictional characters. The earliest biblical texts date no earlier than the 10th century, with the bulk of the Old Testament being written and redacted between the 7th and 5th century BC. By then the priesthood of Judaism had become mostly monotheistic, while the people remained polytheistic, or henotheistic. The New Testament tells of a different God from that of the early Hebrews. So different in fact, that the gnostics believed that the father of Jesus is the true God, and the god who created the garden of Eden, wiped out humanity, and commanded genocide was a monster. It takes years of systematic theology to harmonize the contradictory ideas, books, and prophecies of the Bible.

    Nate Pickowicz should read the Bible more thoroughly. Scripture says in Ezekiel 33:12-16 (ESV) the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins. Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live. He ridiculed what is written in the above verses in his diagram. The reason is obvious - he follows the Reformers who taught that through faith alone ALL his sins (past, present AND FUTURE) are imputed/counted on Christ and God already punished Christ for those sins. Scripture says our salvation is affected by our future sins in Heb. 10:26-27: “For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.” “We” in verse 26 refers to the believers - it is first person plural that even includes the person who wrote Hebrews. If future sins will not affect our salvation, then 1 Jo. 5:16-17 would not warn us about deadly (or mortal) and non-deadly (or venial) sins. James 1:15 says: “sin when it is fully grown brings forth death”.

  • @justfromcatholic
    @justfromcatholic Před rokem

    The speakers in the video are entitled to preach their version of "gospel" following that of the Reformers. Below are four questions on their belief of justification: 1. You believe that through faith alone you get Christ' righteousness imputed/counted on you and your sins (past, present and future) imputed/counted on Christ. How do you reconcile it with what Ezekiel 18:20 says (ESV): "The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."? Does this verse say both righteousness and wickedness are NOT transferrable from person to person? 2. You believe that by imputation you are counted as righteous while you remain unrighteous - in Latin "simul iustus et peccator". How do you reconcile it with what Ezekiel 33:12 says (ESV): "the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.”? 3. You believe that God will let you enter heaven while you remain sinner (as your sins will be hidden under the righteousness of Christ imputed on you) and that God punished Christ on the cross because your sins (past, present and future) imputed on Him, while He remains sinless. In contrast Prov. 17:15 says (ESV): "“He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.” Does your belief make God do what Scripture refers as abomination? 4. You believe that through faith (in Christ) alone you are counted as righteous, but not made righteous. In contrast Scripture says in Rom. 5:19 that through Christ we are made righteous. Who is right?

      That is a good question. I think their position would be that if she were to rely on her works, not to PROVE that her faith was legitimate, but rely on her works to partially or fully EARN her way to salvation, that she would not be saved. I am personally unaware of Mother Theresa's theology on this. "For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 3:10‭-‬11

    • @justfromcatholic

      @@kevinblessum Catholics do not believe that we earn our way to heaven. We cannot become self righteous but we are made righteous through Christ (Rom. 5:19). In contrast you follow the teaching of the Reformers and believe you are NOT made righteous but are only counted as righteous based on alien/external righteousness of Christ and remain unrighteous (with sins) at the same time. According to Scripture being made righteous is essential for salvation. It is righteousness that delivers from death (Pro. 10:2, 11:4). Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live (Pro. 11:19). Jesus said in Mat. 25:46 that the righteous shall go to eternal life. In Gen. 15:6 what was counted (Hebrew verb חָשַׁב, Strong H2803) to Abraham for righteousness is faith. But what was counted (the same verb חָשַׁב) for righteousness to Phinehas in Psalms 106:31 was not faith but what he did as described in verse 30 (in more detail in Num. 25:7-8). Therefore, according to Scripture faith is not the only source of our righteousness. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he [Christ] is righteous (1 Jo. 3:7). Our ability to have faith and to do what is right comes from and are only possible by grace through Christ - apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).

It all comes down to, do your good works save you, or does God's regeneration of your heart (which happens when you are saved) spur you on to good works? That's the root issue. The verse you are quoting does not address that. The next next chapter in Romans (v. 27) states "Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith". Additionally: "So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” Galatians 3:11 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 I feel that the verse above is clear. We are saved by grace through faith. And the result of that salvation causes us to walk in and be obedient to God's commands. "You will know them by their fruit". Our fruit as believers is the result of our being born again and being made a new creature. Please do not trust in your good works to contribute to your salvation in any way, brother! "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags." Isaiah 64:6 We can never earn our way to heaven. There is nothing we need to do to add to the finished and sufficient work of Jesus sacrifice. Praise God for that!

      @@kevinblessum So if someone gets Baptized and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour (and checks all the other Protestant boxes), and then afterward commits an evil act, are you saying that their Baptism was not legitimate? Are you saying it did not take? I am pretty sure that people commit sins - even after they are Baptized. But according to your logic, after Baptism, they only do good works because of regeneration. So what gives? How do you explain that?

      @kevinblessum Před rokem

      No one that gets baptized, including regenerate believers, go on to live sinless lives afterwards. It's not that they ONLY do good works. It's that you cannot truly engage in a good, God pleasing work before you have been given a new heart by God. Probably because your heart is still an enemy of God and hates God. God cares about our heart above all. Paul in Romans 8:7-8 says "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." So after baptism, we will still assuredly struggle with sin. John says in 1 John Chapter 2, that true believers will still sin, but that we have an Advocate. But we should be sensitive to our sin and hate our sin, unlike those that have not been given new hearts.

      @@kevinblessum The Catholic Church never teaches that once a person is baptized he/she will live sinless - this is your silly unfounded caricature. That person will continue sinning and that is why Christ gave the authority to forgive sins to the Church through Sacrament of Penance. You have problem with both Sacraments of Baptism and Penance because you believe ALL your sins, including future sins are imputed/counted on Christ and he already paid the penalty of those sins on the cross. Jesus is our advocate (1 John 2:1) but you missed 1 John 1:7 that says "if we walk in the light".

      The only place Holy Scripture comes close to using the words "Faith alone" is in James, Chapter 2: "Faith without works is dead." And it is not just a one-off...Holy Scripture says that at least three times - very emphatically. I think it is very logical to conclude that if the Holy Spirit said,, "Faith without works is dead" at least three times, then you can conclude that the concept of "Faith alone" is similarly dead. These guys are saying that we should rely on "Scripture alone" (solo Scriptura) and then they contradict themselves at 4:10 and they basically say, "Don't rely on Scripture alone, but instead, let me tell you what it means using a visual aid of trees, roots, and fruit, because I am smarter than you, and you can't be trusted to believe in your lying eyes. Because you need me to authoritatively tell you what the Holy Spirit meant when He said "Faith without works is dead." Don't believe the Holy Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit, but instead, believe me and my tree drawing.

There is not the workd "tree" and "roots" in the Book of James.

He had to do some real verbal gymnastics to overcome the fact that Holy Scripture is directly (and emphatically) contradicting everything in this video. When Protestants say you are justified by "Faith alone" (i.e. Faith without works) and Holy Scripture says "Faith without works is dead" - who are you going to believe? The protestants?

Why not have an actual Roman Catholic priest or theologian be in this video and provide the explanation instead? It's because they are not interested in the actual teaching of the Catholic Church. They just want to win the argument - and the best way to do that is to lie. None of these people are Roman Catholic, yet they are try to tell the viewers what Catholics believe. And I think they were intentionally deceptive, that is, I think they knew that they were misrepresenting the Catholic teaching, but they wanted to strengthen their argument. For example, Mike Gendron (at 2:09) uses the words "Sacrament of Penance" (and he says it in an authoritative way; he tries to convince the viewers that he has researched this, and the viewer should trust him). However, no where in Roman Catholicism does anyone ever use the words "Sacrament of Penance" - he just made that up. The correct terminology is: Sacrament of Reconciliation (often called "Confession" - but that is an inarticulate term because the Sacrament is not merely about confessing, but about reconciling. And confessing is just part of the Sacrament). Either they are intentionally deceiving the viewer, or they did not do their research. Either way, they should not be scandalizing someone else's theology. It's wrong. And they are mocking Catholics from 1:50 onward.

    This is not a terribly accurate representation of Catholicism. They never say "Faith + Works." And for good reason: simply putting your faith in Christ is sufficient to be right before God in the Catholic understanding. You don't have the absurd, man-made idea of balancing good deeds against bad deeds. Where we disagree is this issue of repentance. And yes, I do believe repentance is necessary for salvation. Jesus says it himself countless times: "Repent and believe." If you believe repentance is necessary for salvation, then you essentially agree with the Catholics, no matter what disagreements may remain.

BE A SINNER AND SIN BOLDLY, BUT BELIEVE AND REJOICE IN CHRIST EVEN MORE BOLDLY, FOR HE IS VICTORIOUS OVER SIN, DEATH, AND THE WORLD. As long as we are here [in this world] WE HAVE TO SIN. This life is not the dwelling place of righteousness, but, as Peter says, we look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. It is enough that by the riches of God’s glory we have come to know the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world. NO SIN WILL SEPARATE US FROM THE LAMB, EVEN THOUGH WE COMMIT FORNICATION AND MURDER A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY. Do you think that the purchase price that was paid for the redemption of our sins by so great a Lamb is too small? Luther: Letter to Philip Melanchthon, August 1, 1521, Luther’s Works, Vol. 48, page 281-282 Luther believed that no matter what sin you will do, you are guaranteed heaven because all those sins are already imputed/counted on Christ who already paid the penalty on the cross. What he wrote inevitably gave rise to antinomianism. He changed his mind and in 1536 he wrote (emphasis in capital is mine): WORKS ARE NECESSARY TO SALVATION, BUT THEY DO NOT CAUSE SALVATION, because faith alone gives life. On account of the hypocrites we must say that good works are necessary to salvation. It is necessary to work. Nevertheless, it does not follow that works save on that account, unless we understand necessity very clearly as the necessity that there must be an inward and outward salvation or righteousness. WORKS SAVE OUTWARDLY, that is, they show evidence that we are righteous and that there is faith in a man which saves inwardly, as Paul says, “Man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved” [Rom. 10:10]. Outward salvation shows faith to be present, just as fruit shows a tree to be good. Luther: The Disputation Concerning Justification, 1536, Luther’s Works, Vol. 34, page 165 In 1539 he wrote (emphasis in capital is mine): Christ did not earn only gratia, “grace,” for us, but also donum, “the gift of the Holy Spirit,” so that we might have not only forgiveness of, but also cessation of, sin. NOW HE WHO DOES NOT ABSTAIN FROM SIN, BUT PERSISTS IN HIS EVIL LIFE, MUST HAVE A DIFFERENT CHRIST, that of the Antinomians; the real Christ is not there, even if all the angels would cry, “Christi Christi” HE MUST BE DAMNED WITH THIS, HIS NEW CHRIST. Luther: on the Councils and the Church, 1539, Luther’s Works, Vol. 41, page 114 Ironically Luther damned himself for what he wrote to Philip Melanchthon on 1 August 1521.
