I am Catholic, but I have come across him on The Church Channel a few times, and so far I have not seen any discussions that seem outside the Catholic faith. I have just seen a few though.

They seem pretty fundamental - obedience, sermons about sin, etc., and they seem to be focused on interpretation of the Scripture. The ones I saw he was focused on John, who has some pretty fundamental messages about salvation.

Any thoughts? I am a newbie that’s prepared to be enlightened 🙂

He is a baptist and he adheres to baptist theology such as:

sola scriptura
no sacraments–two ordinances
believers baptism
priesthood of all believers
lord’s supper as symbolic
etc., etc., etc

PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS
baptist = Everyone is his own supreme teacher.
**Catholic = Everyone is a member of "The Priesthood of the **
Faithful", but there is also a "ministerial priesthood"
(Holy Orders).
 
I know he is not Catholic, hence he is going tohave some conflicting beliefs. That’s a good list you gave, I have not heard him discuss any of those topics yet, so what he has talked about seemed ok so far. I am wondering if others have heard differently.

I think the poster mean Baptist deny holy orders ie priesthood
in their theology priesthood of all believers negates holy orders
in catholics theology all baptized Christians have the priesthood of beleivers just like Israel was a nation of priests but like Israel there was priest and lay distinction. Our new priesthood is done though Jesus Christ of course and not Mosaic law.
 
A friend of mine said she heard him disparaging those who worship Mary. An obviously veiled reference to the Catholic Church. I have never heard him myself.

That’s not veiled honey that’s a direct attack on our church and our lady.
 
I used to listen to Jeremiah (in my pre-Catholic days) until I finally just got “bored” with him… He has a standard “Baptist” perspective and his presentations tend to be on the “emotional” side. He always sounds to me like he’s “preaching to his own choir”, so to speak…

Listen to him for 6 months and you’ll probably hear everything he has to say… I suspect you’ll get bored with him soon…

I’m in favor of being familiar with what all the denominations teach, so I still tune in to protestant radio from time to time (but only when EWTN is playing a re-run ;))…

Grace & Peace
 
Sometimes I feel I get more out of listening to some non-Catholic discuss the Bible then I do some cheap disgusting TV program alternative! I don’t mind other voicing their opinions ont what the Bible says, I know what I believe.

Moreover, if I hear something that sounds like a convincing argument, it is likely because of something I don’t understand about my own faith or the Church’s teaching, so I go and research it!

The most notable time this happened to me recently, was hearing some of the interpretations of the Book of Revelation - with the Rapture and all. I found at the time I really didn’t know what that Church though about it, and my recollection of the book was very sketchy. So I read it again, researched the CCC, read a few sites that described Catholic teachings, and as a result I think it was a very pleasant learning experience that eminated from someone else’s teachings I don’t agree with.

Do others here do this type of thing?

Absolutely! That is an excellent method for researching and discovering the truth!

although baptists still practice “ordination” (although i don’t know what sort of succession they have, but i know what sort they think they have). so they must think there is a step up in the “priesthood”.

that doesn’t mean that we (as lay people) are not called to a life of ministry. we are called to minister to the world, but we are not called to enact the sacrifice, to live celibately, or (necessarily) to poverty.
 
It is not because of being catholic-but of the traditions that are of men . the sacrements and also they way You all repeat the crucifixion of Christ. On the cross he said it was finished . Let it be finished. I agree with what he said and also some former catholics who converted to protestant says the samething about the catholic church. They all cant be wrong

I’ve heard these weak anti-Catholic claims refuted so many times, that it is not worth responding in writing. Therefore, my response will be in pictoral form:

sure, they CAN ALL be wrong, that is a logical possibility. Were the Nazis wrong-- sure they were. Were the Japanesse wrong in bombing Pearl Harbor-- sure they were. Shoot, the WHOLE WORLD could be wrong on something, but we know who Truth is. For His word is truth. And what he says concerning Catholic teaching is truth, i.e., for what Christ says in the Gospels is undeniably Catholic.
 
This is an old thread I know lol… but I live about 10-15 minutes from David Jeremiah’s church… I even went to the college there on the Church grounds… and get this… that whole church property used to be Catholic!!! It had a Convent on it!!!

But not to be rude or nothing like that but-David Jeremiah and his church is a buisness!!! And a sect/cult… and he dosen’t even know what he REALLY believes. But he is southern baptist I think. And most young people don’t like him either=we can see right through him…

you know what I mean?
