Marcela Maria, I am so saddened to hear of your struggles. I can empathize, I have lived a similar road. What God is showing me is that His peace is not dependant on where we live, or who supports us, but true peace only comes as we plunge into his providence and allow Him to provide for us while taking steps towards what is good as it is revealed. You have a heavy load, my friend and you cannot do this alone. I pray that God surround you with a few precious souls who will walk with you and live in His truth with you. The decision you had to make is not always understood and so you may fell alone, but know that God is your defender and He knows everything that is and was. In HIM you can trust. I also pray that you get support for your daughter. It takes more than us mamas to raise a child, it takes a healthy, helpful village. You are precious, Marcela and your girls will be your motivation to keep taking one step at a time towards the Light of love and peace and truth. Hold fast to the scriptures and read them often. let them be a constant sign and strength for you. May you hear the voice of the Shepherd and follow Him in faith. He will provide all you need, no worrying! Praying abundance over you my new friend.

God to explain himself to us is getting three personalities which have their roles and are consequences of fallen angels rebellion but they are ultimately One. I pray that God forgive us all if we r confused in our limited minds. I am afraid of those topics because wrong realization can maybe lead to losing of eternal life.😢

Thanks for giving us a few words on the difference between being "created" (or "made") and being "begotten"! That's probably what trips most people up. Here's the relevant segment of the Nicene Creed, for those who don't have it memorized: "I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God Begotten by His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made Being of one substance with the Father By whom all things are made" (Apologies if the Lutheran version is different than the Catholic)

BIBLICAL PROOF THAT THE TRINITY DOCTRINE IS FALSE! I’m a former Baptist, but for 25 years I’ve been a Sabbath Keeping, non-denominational Believer. The TRINITY is false because the Bible clearly teaches that the Most High God CREATED, MADE, and BEGOT His Son! Christ was the first Creation of His Father. Everything else was created through & by Christ! (Colossians 1:15-19). But all things reproduce after their own kind... INCLUDING GOD! So, the "begotten" SON IS 100% DEITY & SUPREME OVER ALL OTHER CREATIONS! The Scriptures below confirm that the Trinity is error because Yeshua is neither equal nor co-eternal with His Father. The first 3 Holy Scriptures prove that The Messiah WAS CREATED. The last 3 prove that the Savior is not equal to His Father, but is greater than all except His Father. The Trinity doctrine seems to teach IDOLATRY. And for sure, most churches that teach IDOLATRY also teach to break another eternal Commandment… THEY SPIT UPON THE SACRED 7TH DAY SABBATH, and obey the change to the Commandments made by pagan Rome (Council of Laodicea, 364 AD, Canon 29). (HEBREWS 1:4) Being MADE so much better than the angels, as HE hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. (And before anyone claims that this truth of Christ “BEING MADE BETTER THAN ANGELS” is referring to His earthly birth, Hebrews 2:9 refutes that connection. When the Lamb of God walked the earth, the Bible confirms He was MADE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS!) (REVELATION 3:14) These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF GOD. COLOSSIANS 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE. JOHN 14: 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I. (This clear truth by the Son of God should be enough to settle this issue. But heresies are tough to kill.) 1 Corinthians 11: 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD. (In the minds of the undeceived, “HEAD OF” DOES NOT MEAN EQUAL!) 1 Corinthians 15:27-28 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that HE IS EXCEPTED, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, THEN SHALL THE SON ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECT UNTO HIM that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. The die-hard Trinitarians will bring up 1 John 5:7-9 There are two things to consider. You believe that being One means they are equal. It does not. Let's look at John 17:21... 👉🏿👉🏿👉🏿"That they all MAY BE ONE; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also MAY BE ONE IN US: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”👈👈👈 (Being described as ONE does not make us gods!) I know Trinitarians use 1 John 5:7-9 as a cornerstone, but it's a weak one. Also, there is no record of that statement in any of the Greek Manuscripts prior to the 1400s. Some believe it was added to support Trinitarianism. I'm not adopting this belief, but this is an old controversy and well-documented online. Just Google it. Matthew 4: 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. @@sjappiyah4071

Despite the hosts of their opposite-ing.

I am a Catholic but I think your condemnation of Arian is overkill. He followed what he thought was the logic of the NT. He believed in Christ, the resurrection, that Jesus would judge us at the end days, that Jesus existed before all ages, that Jesus was sent by and knew the Father in a unique way, that he died for our redemption etc. That accurately reflects the NT. He did not believe that God was a Trinity. But that understanding only developed gradually over time. But to in any way equate him or his reasoning with for example Kant's view of Jesus as merely a great human teacher is simply wrong. I believe the Catholic and Orthodox teaching on the Trinity is correct but do you really believe Jesus would have condemned that saintly man if he met him face to face in the gospels? He was a deeply Biblical Christian and awaited his resurrection in Christ. His ideas are not wrong just incomplete. And they do not lead to the undermining of Christianity just a partial picture. Frankly I think your argument here is contentious and divisive, exactly an attitude that the NT repeatedly condemns .

Lack of Catholic truth teaching such as the nature of the Holy Trinity, and the 'softening' of the truth, for some reasons, have created these mistaken beliefs among Catholics. Even I initially believed that the Holy Communion only has temporal God's spirit in it, and that only if you believe, I think the teachers said the consecrated Bread and Wine are Body and Blood of Christ, but never explained the transubstantiation and the presence of Jesus full in Body, Soul, and Divinity.

Then going to a government school were general Christian Bible studies were followed. Although as a family we still went to mass ever Sunday. I was married in the Catholic Church to a non Catholic. And yes slowly lost my faith. Because of lack of true knowledge of my faith. However I never lost my true belief in a true God and praying the Rosary from time to time. Thankfully i am now able to reconnect with my faith and am attending Mass on You Tube everyday and have a great hunger for knowledge. Word on Fire found me. Bishop Barren is an amazing teacher. The faith I believe has been greatly lost because the church has not done truely enough of educating the teachers of the faith. My own children eventually refused to go to catechism because they said it was so boring. Yet Bishop Barron shows how interesting the history is of our faith and I think that to a large extent is what's missing. We go to mass and believe that's enough to keep us faithful. I am so excited to be part of Word on Fire and reading my Bible with greater understanding. God Bless you Bishop Barron.

I could not agree more about the failure of how we are teaching about our Catholic faith. My oldest daughter went through 9 years of CCD and was always complaining about how the teachers weren’t teaching anything. There were basic questions she could not answer because they were never talked about in class. In her 7th grade year, her teacher spent all his time telling them why they needed to grow up to vote Republican (further cementing my idea that Americans have turned politics into their religion). My daughter was very turned off by all this, but fortunately, she did decide to go through confirmation. Now that I have found out I can homeschool her brothers in non-sacrament years, that is what I am going to do, and hopefully also fill in the gaps for my daughter, too.

I'm not entirely certain who coined the term "Social Justice", but I feel the Catholic Church needs to move away from it.

We believe Jesus is god and it’s his real body n blood in the Eucharist / we need to give the information of our faith to others🙏🏻😍

You are so clear and helpul in a difficult to understand issue. At least for me that get confused by the language Jesus Himself uses in the Bible in referring to His Father. You, Most Reverend Bishop Barron, are so solid and valiant. Thank you and God bless you for using so well the talents He has given you. I doubt a 20% of all people that declare being catholics, are really catholic.

Thanks!🕊 As always, another good lesson.

Greetings, how are you doing?

Begotten not made, through Him all things are made

Great teaching...always!

Well said Bishop Barron and Brandon! Other heresies making a quiet (or not so quiet) comeback: Pelagianism, Donatism, Gnosticism.

Love the hair comments. Bishop Barron isn's obsessive about his hair - unlike *cough* certain internet commentators with utterly ridiculous wigs!!!

Great comb-over!

Catholics really need more priests and Bishops of this intellectual apologetics and evangelical caliber.

Good stuff!

Thank you Bishop

For me, it all has to do with projection. Only a person giving their entire life in service to others can believe that God does the same for us. Praise Him!!

Interesting. My perspective as an agnostic who is investigating Christianity: First, I suspect that the popular opinion manifested in the survey doesn’t suggest a failure of the church (even the bishop states that they hammer the Nicene Creed constantly) as much as it points to the inherent ambiguity of the Trinity and the fact that it’s quite difficult to read it in scripture without presupposing it from theology. If it were obvious, it wouldn’t have taken 3 centuries to achieve “consensus” on the nature if Christ and another century to articulate a eternally coequal Trinity. Second, I strongly disagree that the Arian Christology in diminishes, let alone destroys Christianity. As fair as the bishop may have been to the Arian position, I don’t think Arius (or other anti-Trinitarians) would agree that they think of Jesus as “just a wise teacher”, but rather that he is unique in all of history as the divinely anointed, exclusively authorized and empowered human messiah, the only Son of God.

Thanks so much for this discussion! Maybe an upcoming show could be titled "Pelagianism, Then and Now?

Thank you Bishop Baron. You are a man of God I perceive. I’m not a catholic, but born and brought up in Lutheran faith. We do regularly recite the Nicene Creed in our church. And I strongly believe in what I recite. And I am not at all a Christian if Jesus Christ is not God. And I don’t consider those people as Christians who deny that Jesus is not God. I really appreciate your strong views on the divinity of Lord Jesus Christ.

I was always taught that Christ was fully human as well as divine…something only God, the Trinity, can fully understand. Our finite minds cannot fully understand.

I truly dislike the fact that in Canada, we are not required to recite the Nicene Creed (short for Niceno-Constantinople Creed), rather only the Apostles’ Creed on almost every Sunday. Sigh again!

At the Church that I attend, there was a priest who chose to do the Nicene Creed at Mass, instead of the Apostles' Creed.

That is surprising. Weird even.

I firmly believe one of our issues as Catholics, is that our leaders, don’t seem to see evangelization as a never ending reality. Another, I find the media ( books and resources) used to teach rather dry. It becomes to both the teacher and the student, just one more subject among many other subjects. It’s impersonal and dry . We are failing to address evangelization as am an encounter with God and His Divinity and Love. We are whole person, so we must bring our students from both the spiritual and the intellectual. If religion becomes a set of rules and a duty to believe, it will put in the shelves as another to compete w so many others for our attention and commitment. We have an incredible opportunity to evangelize during sacramental preparation; however, when this is done as a process where a lot of people are packed and in large groups, and often in a microwave manner ( 3 hrs and done). This could be changed if we spend time with the instructors, we need to spend time and effort , so they are well equipped to carry on this essential mission. I still wonder why persons preparing children for first communion, they themselves don’t believe in the true Presence. A person teaching, at my church stating that in order to study Holy Scripture , one must put aside spirituality and put only the intellectual hat. If we perceive scripture to only acquire knowledge, rather getting to know Christ, we might not be able to nourish our souls w His Word, and again not perceiving it as the Divine Verb

Salve, salve from Minas Gerais, Brasil.

Wonderfully on-point Bishop. I suspect that the questions asked in the survey are somewhat ambiguous to a non theologian, and possibly half of respondants would want to say sure Jesus Is God but there is God, Son (Jesus) and the Spirit. I am more worried about those who inaccurately create surveys. I see it done wrong yearly by major corporations across the U.S. trying to poll their own 30 or 40,000+ employees.

There's a lot to grasp from this video. I will need to listen to it a second... probably third and forth time. Thought: When you told the story at the very end with the word "substantiate", I couldn't recall a definition, but the notion of it being more than a definition came to mind. Specifically, a concept.

I too have been startled about these surveys, although I can relate to the fact that our Catechism fell off a cliff in the 70's. Seems to me the Bishops had a laissez-faire attitude towards many aspects of Church life, because of this while I am not a Trad, I do sympathize with them on certain issues. This makes me realize that our reunion with the east is so important, they still focus on the language intently.

That the same in an LCMS Church. I wrote a thesis on this very topic in college, primarily the Arian Heresy and how it figured into the creation of the Holy Trinity.

Hello greetings... How are you doing?

Bishop Barron would you review or be able to direct me to a good review of Atlas Shrugged. I listened to it and really enjoyed it but I know the philosophy has its flaws and I'm looking for a good Catholic perspective on it. Thanks!

I'm Muslim and I'm here to understand the Arianism , and why the prophet Mohammad end his message to Heraclius by warning him : "If you turn away, you will bear the Arians’ sins." How he knew them ?

Thank you so much for this in depth TRUTH. of Jesus. Interesting and inspirational. Gives lots to pray about in my devotion. It helps so much to have this to reinforce my faith. Things we, I took for granted can never ever be taken for granted. 🙏🙏❤️😇

Let me ask this... Why is you church built on the catholic and orthodox churches. Just like 99% of those who call themselves Christian a disorganized lot of ungodly beliefs. -Hiding Almighty God's Name Yahweh/Jah The most important Name in the Universe -Pagan Trinity Doctrine -Pagan Holy Days -Pagan Hell fire -Pagan immortal soul -Putting faith/ hope in men to fix this Satan's world. All confirm that your church is part of Christiandom of Babylon the Great Harlot . Revelation 18:4 [Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out, my people! Come out from her! You must not take part in her sins; you must not share in her punishment!] Revelation 18:24 [Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”] Thank God -for releasing you from the prison of false religion.. The truth is simple. Flee from her! In Yeshua/ Jesus name. Hallelujah -Praise Jah you people

This has been dense Theology made lighter for mere mortals☆ *Couldn't have been any better☆*

Maybe the problem is confusion. The one question says Jesus was "created by God", but if Jesus is God, then how can he be called created by himself?

Modern Gnostic and Arian here..... We're still alive and well Bishop :)

But to answer your question, The 'head of our church' is the same person who is at the head of the entire Universal Church. That being Jesus Christ. We don't need anyone else to answer to.

I have always had trouble with putting trinitarian views somewhere along the line of monotheistic religions Isn't the Ibrahimic tradition all about believing in one god that isn't a component of parts? I would be thankful if you would explain in simplest terms what is the place of the trinity in monotheistic theology in one of your videos.

This topic of the Arian controversy has been on my mind for sometime since an agnostic friend of mine challenged me on why orthodox Christians made such a big stink about defining the divinity of Christ leading up to/after the Council of Nicaea. You did a good job addressing all the scholarship related to this topic that should allow me to address it more confidently in the future. (Although based on my other research you could have expanded a little more on the decision by the council to use the nonbiblical homo uzios term, which was apparently controversial at the time.) Nevertheless, thank you again, Bishop!

Thanks so much for everything you do, Bishop Barron, and everyone who supports his work. I am fairly convinced I am going to be converting to Orthodoxy from Catholicism, but you will always be a shining light to me nonetheless.
