The St. Paul Center is a nonprofit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study from the heart of the Church. The Center serves clergy and laity, students and scholars, with research and study tools.
Our goal is to be a teacher of teachers. We want to raise up a new generation of priests who are fluent in the Bible and lay people who are biblically literate. For us, this means more than helping people to know their way around the Bible. It means equipping them to enter into the heart of the living Word of God.
We read the Bible from the heart of the Church, in light of the Church’s Liturgy and living Tradition. In this way, we hope to help people experience the heart-to-heart encounter that Jesus’ disciples experienced on that first Easter night, when they knew Him in the breaking of the bread: "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us…while He opened to us the Scriptures?" (see Luke 24:13-37)

Why does God work through Covenants?
In this first episode of Mountains & Mediators, Dr. John Bergsma defines what a covenant is and explains its significance regarding our relationship with God. Throughout Salvation History, God has made various covenants with humanity that are divided up between the Old and New Covenants. Dr. Bergsma explains that the Old Covenants were temporary and have been fulfilled and completed through the New and eternal Covenant established by Christ.
The intention of these covenants is to help reconcile man back to God, who we view as a Father. This belief is unique as no other world religion shares this same belief of God.

In this episode of Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn interviews author Ryan Budd about his new book, Salvation Stories. In Ryan's book, you explore the various family dynamics of the Bible and realize an important truth: those families are more relatable than you think. Like our families, the families of the Bible have their share of hardships, moral failings, betrayals and dramatic transformations. D...

AMEN!!
The horrible sound of the dial up on computers & the way the computer would say I’d made a “fatal error” when I was just wanting it to do the job it was invented to do.
Thank you for videos. I learn so much about the Bible scripture that helps my faith grow with my family
Brilliant!
Amen!
Thank you, sir... ✝️🙏😇
Never heard this before or should have said though of it like this.
Very good Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
July 26 St. Anne and St. Joachim mentions?
Great thoughts for the month!!!
You aee so inspirational! Ill need a book, please...
Music too loud and creepy...
Interesting
This guy talks 😮😮😮😂
There was a Time in America when all stores, all business was closed on Sundays in honor of the Sabbath.
This is verging on Calvinism - it would need to be expanded upon... Why the background music? To get us into a 'yes' mood?
What are you affraid of saying "yes" too?
@@russellgay5337 What if I said heresy?
@@superapex2128You'd have to explain yourself. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. I know the Professor.
In what way is this anything remotely like Calvinism
@@russellgay5337 Sorry, not impressed.
Amen
Interesting lecture. One question. What if we are God's children by nature and only left the family (Prodigal Son) when we rejected God's fatherhood in the Garden (original sin) and covenant is like the father of the prodigal son, a kinship already and eternally there to be accepted? I think this understanding is in accord with the Franciscan tradition that kept me Catholic even in the darkest of nights of my soul. We did not change our nature, but God offered us kinship, fatherhood, and we reject that reality fighting against our own nature.
In Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions, they are two different persons. There is quite a lot said about them. Of course, the visions are not at all infallible teachings.
Good day. How do I get a hold of this book in Abuja, Nigeria?
Protestants meanwhile throw all the covenants away … hahahah
You should Thank our Lord for the Protestants. I wonder if you know what they protested about. I am shocked at the ignorance of some of our very narrow minded RC community. Please wake up. I grew up without any knowledge of Scripture as the whole Mass was in Latin. And, the Priests always was with his back to us. Yes, ignorance of Scripture is certainly ignorance of Christ. We owe a debt of love to Martin Luther, and others who challenged us to meeting the Lord through His written Word to the Very Incarnate Word of God.
Reading and Meditating on the Gospel of John and starting from Genesis to Revelations, there is no turning back on our Lord of Creation. We do not own Him He Owns us. That is why, we are told, " you for not belong to your self, but you belong to the Lord, as he has redeemed you with the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ " which, With the Blood He Shed Once, and for all. And it is not to sit with smugness to be critical of other but to serve mankind, as the Body of Christ. And we need to be discipled by Christ and not be RC as a label. With the Gaza episode we ourselves are crucified Christ. Remember Saul now Paul was asked by Jesus Christ, " Saul, Saul why are you crucified Me" Hagar chased away by Sarah, was ministered to by our Lord by nourishing her son Ishmael with water. On two occasions. And the tragedy, we have killed and maimed in the Name of our Lord, instead of reaching out with Love and Reconciliation to our neighbour.
You do not belong to yourself.....😊
Are crucifying
@@shriyanidemel9401 how ironic your words are to those who really understand scripture. That you do not see the contradiction of protestants to the gospel is the very crux of the issue You are right about one thing, it’s belonging to him. But most importantly doing it God’s way and not your own way. You don’t get to pick and choose. Jesus laid it all out along with the covenants and he started one church, the one the apostles continued to build in Acts … an actual physical church.
God made an eternal covenant also with the people of Israel. It was not a temporary covenant.
Christ came and established new covenants. He also fulfilled the old and taught the errors of the Jews in interpreting his fathers prophets message. So course correction is required to listen to what God himself taught through the person of Jesus. And historically Jews who lost their way were cut off by God. Especially when they were overly stubborn to his teachings
That happened to me walking my dog at a park. I was extremely depressed. I remember i said in my head, “How much longer do I have to live, why can’t I be with you, I want to be with God.” Instantly, I felt mini swirling tornado like wind surrounding my heart. I felt hands poking around in different places around my heart as if the physics of my body wasn’t there. I then felt water shooting out of my heart like a high pressure fire hose. It kept pouring and pouring out of my heart, but into another place not of this world. So much water was pouring and pouring out of my eyes but they weren’t tears. Suddenly, then felt individual fingers touching my heart and then they pressed it. It felt like my heart was being hugged, and I never felt so much bliss in my life. This whole event was about a minute long. All my hate, resentment, bitterness just gone. All the things I always wanted answered from people who did me wrong, I just no longer cared. Just forgive everyone. That night in my bedroom all the lights were off. My room lit blue. I don’t know where the light was coming from, but it felt so safe. In this dark corner of the room I saw a shadow like figure of a man standing and staring at me. I knew right away that was what has been haunting me for years. The blue light felt like I was protected by a huge army. Eight months later I was listening to the gospel of John and that is when I heard: Jesus stood up on the last day of the feast and said. If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink, for out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. My jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe what I just heard. I asked so many people. I tried researching it. But nothing was explained about water rushing out of one heart. For about 2 weeks from when this event happened at the park my heart was literally on fire like the pictures of Jesus heart on fire. It felt amazing though, like a cold shower pouring on your chest. But tolerable. This is only a small portion of what happened, but I will tell you God is very real. God Bless!
Never skip Bergsma video or a Cliffe video
4.26 is this apparation approved by the Vatican?😅
Thank you God for speaking to me in the Word of God.Amen❤
Thank you, Lord for this discussion with Drs Martin & Hann on holiness. Very spiritually profound & uplifting.
Does an individual have any own power at all that does not depend on God?
Thank you so much for the excellent video. How I wish this material had been taught to me 45 years ago during the Lutheran college and seminary days. It would definitely have changed the course of my life. Thank you again for your efforts. Pax
Lol. I loved his book, this is great too.

Genesis 3:22
A priest is using a medium right now that's witchcraft
This is legit! I agree with this! That makes sense!
I can't find the course referenced in the video on Mary Magdalene. Any suggestions on how to find it? I went to the Saint Paul site and couldn't find it.
Hi Leon! Thanks for asking! It will be released on Emmaus Academy later in July; it is not published yet! God Bless!
How do you explain to an eight year old that the Bible contains truths and facts and that Jesus is not make- believe, which he's being told by a lot of kids.
Hi Leon! I think that your example in their life and how you live and speak of Jesus can influence how they understand Him. If you live a life that shows and speaks of Jesus in a way in which it shows that you believe Him to be real, then kids will pick that up. As they grow up, you can further catechize them about Christ and the Bible. I also encourage you to listen to the episode of our podcast series, Drawing Flame, on the Eucharistic Pilgrimage with Kris Frank. I think they provide a lot of helpful suggestions for teaching kids about the faith around the one hour mark. Hope this helps!
I had infestation, was really scary
oh and Vexation partly but in my mind not physically. Like when I slept and at one point there was the flipping of pages of a book that would keep me up and I couldnt go back to sleep
People are human, and the human element can sometimes be argh.. longsuffering, patience, and love are key. We all believe something and are all tested in some way, shape, or form. There are satanist who operate in very occultic ways of evil. So there are good verses bad and other realms! Spiritual occurences happen. Unless you have experienced evil spirit's, you don't really know. We are all humans and the human frailty hits us all. It's part of growth and charachter. The priest handled this interview well, it's okat for Patrick's team to view things from different angles! We're all human and growing in truth and charachter. Have a great day my friend's! Live paves the way.
I always enjoy John’s teachings. What a blessing for us all.
We are already in the last month of the Homo Sapiens civilization, the sun is already in the Constellation Gemeinis, being Pollux the Harvester with the sickle in his right hand in artwork. 😮The situation and outlook for Christians is already limit and of extreme emergency, their Savior is clearly and without a doubt failing the expectations placed on him, and therefore death, lake of fire and hell will be difficult to be avoided.😳The coded messages from Antarctic Ministry of Humanity are very clear about the beginning of the end of the world this month of July. 😥😢😧😫
Dr Scott you are awesome How I wish all those who teach in Catholic seminaries were like you. You are a great teacher 👏👏👏
You are brilliant!!!
Protestant Bibles typically include 39 books of the Old Testament, based on the Hebrew Bible canon. However, in the 16th century, Protestant Reformers removed some books from the Old Testament that they considered incompatible with their theology. These books were labeled "Apocrypha" and were not considered Holy Scripture.
Amen

Prof John Bergsma is a great teacher. I have learned so much from him. God bless you Prof. Maria from Manila.
Bergsma is a good one to listen to. His Pints with Aquinas episodes are good.
God bless you. From Bonfim, RR, Brazil. 🇧🇷
Thank you!
