Catholics Come Home: Tyler Lynch, Millennial & Intellectual Evangelical converts to Catholicism
Catholics Come Home ^

Posted on 12/16/2020 4:26:30 PM PST by Coleus

Video

In this episode, we will meet a 25 year old grad student, who, as a faithful evangelical, felt Catholicism was dead. But during his theological scripture studies, his preconceived biases were challenged, and in search for Truth, studied his way into the Catholic faith!

Like everybody else in this series, today’s guests came home to the Church, with the help of Catholics Come Home and responding to the call of the Holy Spirit.

I’d like you to meet, Tyler Lynch.

In the text it is clear that Ezekiel 16 is God’s Grace to Unfaithful Jerusalem 3 and say, ‘This is what the Lord [a]God says to Jerusalem: “Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

Do you read that? God says to Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the whore city

Isaiah is also crystal clear in chapter 1

The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the [a]reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah
-- concerning JERUSALEM -- which is then 21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once dwelt in her, But now murderers.

How the faithful CITY of Jerusalem

==================

have you even read Isaiah or Ezekiel?

Furthermore, it looks like you haven't even read the book of the Revelation of St. John
>Rev 17:9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is seated: 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom has fallen, one is and the other has not yet come
It's stated clearly that this calls for a mind with wisdom - so you need to work at it

But stick on - the seven heads are the seven kings are the seven hills

-- this is the 7 (sign of completeness) hills are 7 heads - 7 kings. Out of those 7, 5 have fallen (Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius), 1 is (Nero) and 1 has not yet come and when he comes must remain only a little while (Galba)

Next, you have a city that killed more saints -- that would be Jerusalem of 69 AD

That fornicates with the Kings of the world -- again, shows you haven't even read the book. Let's look at what it really says

9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
John speaks of spiritual dominion. As God's holy city, Jerusalem had preeminence among the nations, but she didn't stand as the symbol of purity to God that she was supposed to be, but she was a harlot to the kings

Furthermore, have you read

Rev 17:16 ".. they and the beast will hate the harlot; they will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire
-- Rome burns herself? That's sheer nonsense -- the harlot-city was Jerusalem of 69 AD that RODE upon the beast (the Roman empire)

if we’re going to talk of massacres of Christians, then you need to add the Armenian genocide, the Timurid near-extermination of the Ancient church of the east, then Elizabeth’s anti-Catholic actions, etc. etc.

I do ascribe to the blasphemy that one can get The Spiritual bread through the alimentary tract. I do not ascribe to the heresy that a priest can transmogrify a wheat wafer into the flesh of Jesus, since Jesus told me that it is the Spirit that quickeneth not the eating of flesh pagan worship methodology. Your paganized religion of catholiciism is not Christianity, not even close anymore. And you are a false teacher. You are working for the evil one, the father of lies, a murderer from the start ... that is SPIRITUAL MURDER, but a fakse teacher cannot discern that.

Do not accept the mark even if a fraudulent vision of Mary commands it. Your blasphemies now can be forgiven, but to accept the mark of the beast is to doom your SPIRIT to eternal damnation. Do not take the mark if you survive to the day of the Beast.

Chuckie: “Constantine started the church of Rome in the 4th century and started to change the calendar” What are you smoking?

You are trolling fake news that anyone with a minor level of literacy can sus out for themselves.

The Church of Rome started in the 1st century - you can read Clement of Rome, one of the successors of Peter

Constantine did not create the Church, rather Emperor Constantine decriminalized Christian worship. Individual church groups existed from the earliest days of Christianity, and built a strong, interconnected hierarchy during the second and early third centuries. The first decree legally permitting Christianity to exist in the Empire dates from 311, very shortly before Constantine became at first co-emperor and eventually sole emperor.

When Constantine became Emperor in 306AD, the Christian Church had existed for around 275 years. It had major centres in Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, Byzantium and Rome, but also existed in most cities of the Roman Empire.

The church represented by the bishops of these centres could have described itself as Orthodox (teaching the right doctrine) and Catholic (universal, or accepted by everyone). So the entire church has always seen itself as Catholic and Orthodox.

Constantine did not invent the doctrine of the Trinity. It was Bishop Alexander of Alexandria and Athanasius who argued for the divinity of Jesus in the council, but the idea of one God in three persons goes all the way back to the first century.

Contrary to your tinfoil stories, Constantine never declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, he never attempted to outlaw traditional Greco-Roman religious practices, and he never forced anyone to convert to Christianity against their will.

Constantine I did convene the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to resolve the conflict between Arianism and Trinitarianism that was tearing the Christian church apart, but he was present at the council only as an observer and he left the actual decision-making part of the council to the bishops.

Ergo — your lack of biblical reading ties in to the lack of historical reading.

Babylon started the poly theistic religions with Nimrod, Semiramis, Tammuz, and Thyatira

Again - you show a complete lack of any historical knowledge - polytheism was already in practice among the Indo-Europeans (your ancestors) well before the Akkadian Nimrod etc. -- look up the Sumerian gods for instance. Or you can look at the temple complex of Göbekli Tepe dating to 10,000 B.C.

This pre-dates the Akkadian rule of Mesopotamia by 8,000 years.

In fact at the time, 10,000 BC, the Semitic languages (of which Akkadian was a branch) were not yet separated from Afro-Asiatic (the same language family that include Coptic and Somali

A person ascribes to blasphemy if they ascribe to the pre-Tribulation rapture, which denies the very words of Christ...

Do you ascribe to the 19th century Darby philosophy of the pre-tribulation rapture?

So you deny Christ

What did Jesus say?

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

...41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

..48 I am that bread of life.

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

..61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

...66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Jesus talks of eating His body and drinking of His blood - not symbolic. He repeats it over and over again -- but you, MHG, don't have the divine Eucharist, so Jesus asks YOU, MHG Does this eating of My true body in the Eucharist offend you, MHG?

So then you, MHG, are one of those who walk away from Christ, deny Jesus' OWN words and walk no more with Jesus? If you deny Jesus' true presence, you are denying Him and walk no more with Him

You drag and paste yet do not ‘see’ because you lack spiritual eyes for truth. Do not take the mark of the beast when it is commanded to you, should you survive to that date.

You paste repeats from Darby and other charlatans who preach the anti-christ philosophy of the pre-tribulation rapture because you lack spiritual eyes for truth.

Is your adherence to the Christ-denying pre-trib rapture the mark of the beast for you?

You lie, I have NEVER posted a quote from Darby and it is you, the servant of lies who characterize the Pre Tribulation rapture as a fraudulent. Now go change your diaper and search for more lies to post for your father, the father of lies.

Normally, denying the pretribe Departure of the Body of Christ is not a salvation issue. But when a denier adds all manner of lies and preterist heresy, seeking to manipulate the saved, it becomes a vehicle for satanic deception. The Bible teaches that the Body of Christ believers are NOT appointed to wrath but to obtain salvation in Jesus Christ.

Since His ascencion Jesus has not reigned upon the Earth, physically present, yet the preterist deception claims the millennium is here since 70 AD. That is a demonic lie and those who push that lie are dead souls serving the father of lies.

There is a choice to be made, folks, either believe Jesus is The Savior and God raised Him from the dead to be our Savior, or deny Him and His word. Salvation is so simple even a child can grasp it. To not accept it is to deny Truth, for Jesus is The Truth. The tribulation period for non-Jews is the time God pours out His wrath for not believing and accepting His plan for individual salvation in Christ. For the Jews, the Word of God tells us the seven year tribulation / time of Jacob's trouble, is God's plan for putting an end to sin in Israel. That sin is the denial of Jesus as Messaih.

The sudden Departure is coming very soon. Don't be a denier of The Truth that Jesus is God's emans for your individual salvation, to join the departure and leave the earth to receive the wrath to come.

Thanks for your kind wordy reply. See, all you have are words. I get to receive the Living Christ in the Eucharist.

That is a HUGE difference. Ask your soul, I mean really ask it what it needs. If you are honest, it should yearn for the Bread of Life, not just words.

Thanks for yet another example of the usual Roman Catholic elitism that presumes ONLY Catholics can be saved.

You’ll be happy to know my soul has exactly what it needs - honestly! I didn’t leave Catholicism because I got enticed by “words”, I left it because the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart through THE word. Perhaps you don’t realize that there are genuine Christians outside of Catholicism. Your own Catechism admits this. I rejoice in my salvation and praise the Lord Jesus Christ every day for His matchless grace and mercy. My soul is at peace.
