Protestants love St. Paul but overlook this verse. This is good apologetics.

[glennlanham]

this has got to be good, bet the Protestant comments on here will be fun...I have his book on Paul co-written with several other scholars

[Dannyboy]

I have heard this many times and it never gets old

Could you please make a video on how the Jewish beliefs of the messiah are wrong because Jews say that Jesus didn’t fulfill any of the messianic prophecies.

Tradition has a Christological significance: at Our Lord's Passover sacrifice, Christ handed over — "traditioned" — Himself to His disciples by giving them His Body to eat and His Blood to drink.

[CHURCHINTHEWILDERNESS]

Isaiah 49
King James Version
49 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.

2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;

3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.


Bless you all

[EPH]

2 Thessalonians 2:14-15 (KJV) 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Whose gospel?

What’s the gospel referred to here? Peter’s? Paul’s? What is it?

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Paul’s doctrines are those to which members of the Church, the body of Christ are to hold fast. Our epistle - who’s epistle?

2 Thessalonians 3:6 (KJV)
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

Received of who?

[delfimoliveira]

2 Tessalonians is probably pseudo Pauline

In other words Do not lose your sense of Reason.

Trapped In Tradition?

Some of Jesus' most harsh words were reserved for the religious leaders of His day, (Mat 15:3 KJB) But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? and among His most harsh words for them was the elevation of tradition over God. The scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees had no problem with man-made rules and regulations that so "clarified" what God had to say, God was lost in the process.

As we see from the above and other passages tradition didn't fair well with Jesus. Nor does it in this era, where it runs rampant in the assemblies of Christianity.
When an assembly gets trapped in the traditions of a certain era it continues to express the views of that era. Thats when we need to be careful to not substitute the things we know for the things of God. Building upon those traditions of a culture of untrues and not on a solid Gospel foundation.

Tradition knows no boundaries, so we all have to be careful as to let ourselves not be caught in the web of traditionalism! Amen.

Greetings Loved Ones! In regards to "The Kingdom of Heaven" video, 3 years ago! "Many are called but few are chosen.", refers to the 1st Resurrection and rapture of the 144, 000 virgin saints of the 12 tribes of Israel, 12, 000 from each tribe! The 2nd resurrection throughout history is from the time of Christ to the present! The Christians who have washed their spiritual garments in the word and the accepted blood sacrifice of Christ, are resurrected when they die, passing over the judgment of the world and if still alive when Christ returns again, will be raptured! The 2nd and last resurrection and rapture comprises of the many that no man can number! Revelation! Paul has a mixture of Truths and Lies, in his letters, either deliberately, or not, or in ignorance, or evil doers corrupted the letters! Therefore, Paul is likely one of the false apostles, mentioned in Revelation, chapter 2! Revelation, chapter 2, reveals that Christ commended the church for revealing the false apostles, who were teaching the Gentiles that they were Jews, when they were not! Paul taught this way! Search for the errors of Paul's writings in comparison to Christ's words! If one cannot distinguish between the Gentiles and the Jews in prophecy, then the people will be misled in understanding! There is not to be confusion between the prophecies given to each of the tribes of Israel, the House of Israel, the House of Judah and the Gentiles! Love, LORD GOD, Lord Immanuel Christ and Vincent Eaglehawk Christ, VJS/VEC (Prophet of LORD and Lord) 01-04-2022!

The traditions Paul taught were in the OT and a few Jesus taught. There are no Catholic traditions that came after Jesus died.
