Dr. Bergsma reciting all of the texts of Scripture that come from St. Joseph's mouth was truly profound 🤯

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!! I’ve seen him live and have bought his books which bring the mysteries of the Bible down to our level!!! God wants to reveal himself to us and our Priests can only do so much. John Bergsma dissects Bible scripture and interprets the scriptures into language that we can understand. Do not pass this video up and take the time to watch his other videos! They are fun to watch, educational and are entertaining as well as informational! I promise you won’t regret it!!!

NO works of Charity ( GOOD WORKS ) gets you this damnation
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.' Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.'... Then they will answer and say, oh carp lord but I have a personal relationship with you I'm born again and works don't save you, , you cant work for or loose your salvation...He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.' And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.😜😜

Regarding St. Joseph's age, a devout priest once said during a homily that he thought Joseph was likely strong and young, but that the gravity of the news from the Angel that Joseph was called to be the father of Jesus made Joseph turn gray overnight. This opinion tracks with Joseph's humility and explains how he was strong and young enough to journey to Egypt (and back) but appeared older than he actually was.

What is a PSA?

Hi. Is there any biblical basis to tell when and how you get supernatural grace? Many times in the bible, plagues are not the natural result of sin but are sent by God. In other times, diseases and accidents are the natural consequences of sin (like STDs) or just bad circumstances that God permits (the Jews killed by Pilate while they were offering sacrifices, the blind man Bartimaeus). How do I tell the difference between supernatural gifts or punishments and their effects versus ordinary everyday graces or side-effects of sin?

Please spare us the edgy, jerky split second editing. It doesn't make your content "relevant" it is a distraction. Thank you.
