The purpose of Once Lost is to encourage those that were (once lost) in their sin to reach out with the saving message of the Gospel to those that still are.
"The Chosen" has introduced millions to the story of Jesus, but does popularity guarantee biblical accuracy? In this video, we examine theological concerns, historical inconsistencies, fictional additions, and the dangers of blending Scripture with imagination. While many find the series inspiring, Christians must remember that God's Word, not television, is the final authority. Discernment matters, especially when a portrayal of Jesus shapes how people understand the Gospel.

A local Christian satirist issued a brief statement this week reminding readers that the purpose of satire is not merely to make people laugh, but occasionally to make them uncomfortable for reasons they would rather not discuss.
Witnesses say several readers enthusiastically shared articles mocking theological positions they disagreed with before suddenly becoming concerned about "charity" and "tone" when a headline appeared a little closer to their own camp.
Sources confirm the satirist's primary research method remains taking popular ideas to their logical conclusion and then simply writing down what happens next.
"Sometimes people ask who the joke is about," the writer explained. "Usually the answer is whoever recognizes themselves first."
At press time, multiple readers were reportedly searching the comments section for confirmation that the satire was definitely aimed at somebody else.
This is a false dilemma. Ezekiel 16:49 lists some of Sodom's sins, but the very next verse says, "And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit" (Ezekiel 16:50). The Bible presents Sodom's judgment as the result of multiple sins, including sexual perversion, which is confirmed in Genesis 19 and Jude 7, where they are described as giving themselves over to sexual immorality and going after strange flesh.
"as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." {Jude 1:7 NKJV}

Paul warned that after the apostles departed, men would arise from among the leadership speaking perverse things to draw disciples after themselves (Acts 20:29-30). He warned about traditions of men, doctrines of demons, and even another gospel.
So the question is not, "Does Rome claim authority?" The question is, "How do we know Rome is exempt from those warnings?"
When I see a system that elevates tradition alongside Scripture, claims infallible authority, inserts mediators beyond Christ, and anathematizes the doctrine of justification by faith apart from works, I think that is exactly the question every Catholic should be asking.
What evidence proves Rome is the solution to Paul's warnings and not the fulfillment of them?
@ProvisionistP@EcciusMaximus@BibleInContext1 That is a great question and personally I'm nowhere close enough to claim that or know where that line is. I have spoken with Pat on this and his convictions regarding putting that on the screen. He genuinely believes he is doing it in good faith.
I know I've been posting about this a ton recently but that's because I truly believe this is a testimony of God's character, and we need to have this discussion. Please join us this morning, this is my last opportunity to encourage you and all your friends to join us LIVE in an hour. See you soon!
Jer 30:11:
For I am with you,’ says the LORD, ‘to save you;
Though I make a full end of all nations where I have scattered you,
Yet I will not make a complete end of you.
But I will correct you in justice,
And will not let you go altogether unpunished.’

I've become aware of several false accusations being spread about me and this ministry.
This is nothing new and unfortunately something that has become all too common among many Catholics online who cannot defend their beliefs. I’ve been falsely called a Jew. I have been accused of never being Catholic in attempt to discredit my testimony. I am accused of not being a Bible scholar in an attempt to discredit my teaching credentials. However the fact is that these hate filled Catholics wouldn’t accept any level of academic credentials, if the individual is not a Catholic.
Rather than engaging with the biblical, historical, and theological arguments presented, certain critics have resorted to to attacking my character, questioning my motives, and attempting to discredit me through insinuation, speculation, and guilt-by-association arguments that prove nothing.
It is easier to smear a messenger than to answer his message. It is easier to create suspicion than to refute facts.
What’s even more revealing is the number of larger Catholic influencers who will do zero research into the claims before presenting them as facts in an attempt to damage a persons credibility. I do hope that these same Catholic influencers do a better job when it comes to researching their church’s history and teachings.
It seems that these Catholics have not read in their Catechism paragraphs 2464, 2475-2477 where it states:
CCC 2464: The eighth commandment forbids misrepresenting the truth in our relations with others. This moral prescription flows from the vocation of the holy people to bear witness to their God who is the truth and wills the truth. Offenses against the truth express by word or deed a refusal to commit oneself to moral uprightness: they are fundamental infidelities to God and, in this sense, they undermine the foundations of the covenant.
CCC 2475: Christ's disciples have "put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” By "putting away falsehood," they are to "put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander.”
CCC 2476: False witness and perjury. When it is made publicly, a statement contrary to the truth takes on a particular gravity. In court it becomes false witness. When it is under oath, it is perjury. Acts such as these contribute to condemnation of the innocent, exoneration of the guilty, or the increased punishment of the accused. They gravely compromise the exercise of justice and the fairness of judicial decisions.
CCC 2477: Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury. He becomes guilty:
of rash judgment who, even tacitly, assumes as true, without sufficient foundation, the moral fault of a neighbor;
of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another's faults and failings to persons who did not know them;
of calumny who, by remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.
Also canon 1390 #2 & 3 of the Catholic Code of Canon law:
Can. 1390—§ 2. A person who calumniously denounces some other offence to an ecclesiastical Superior, or otherwise unlawfully injures the good name of another, is to be punished according to the provision of can. 1336 §§ 2-4, to which moreover a censure may be added.
§3. The calumniator must also be compelled to make appropriate amends.
For those who don’t know; Calumniously is an adverb meaning to act, speak, or write in a way that is false, slanderous, and intended to damage someone's reputation
(See Part 2 continued👇🏼)
It is absolutely necessary to read through this WHOLE response from my brother @BibleInContext1. These people are evil, and lying through their teeth, or willingly ignorant. They will not even read their own catechism, but apparently they know his resources better than himself? Stop it, please.
As many of you know, I regularly cite and reference sources, historians, scholars, church fathers, and theological works in my research and explanations. The fact that someone references, quotes, studies, or agrees with another source does not constitute plagiarism. Catholic haters have presented a false narrative that I sell a “course” at the end of all my videos and that I sell a reading plan matching the Blue Letter Bible’s chronological study plan. This of course only proves they have zero understanding of what my ministry offers and what it actually sells. These individuals don’t care to find truth, they want information that can be spun to look nefarious.
It would also appear that Catholics are shocked when they discover some Christian ministries have unity in their statements of faith, mission statements and teachings. Some Catholics are recklessly determined to attack any and everyone who dears challenge their religious world view and beliefs. I make it a deliberate point to deal mostly with the content of their doctrines while they choose to attack me personally and many hundreds of others like myself.
I have no ill will towards Catholics, even the ones who seek to destroy me, I love Catholics and have many family members who are Catholic. However the most unloving thing for me to do would be to comfort them in what I believe to be a deception and counterfeit christianity. The very fact that I am willing to go into the lion’s den to share the Gospel with them proves to those who are in Christ that my motive is pure and one of genuine love.
In the coming days, I will be responding to these false allegations more directly, presenting the facts, and documentation necessary showing you why these Catholics have zero idea what they are talking about. For now I have family obligations to attend to which is my priority. I suspect most Catholics won’t accept anything I say or any evidence that contradicts their hate filled agenda. They have demonized me and slandered me as “anti-Catholic” to keep others from considering my words. They have presented this narrative that I am some lone ranger unaffiliated with anyone. This is false. Many of their leading apologists and priests have declined to have any sort of discussion with me, which I believe is their attempt to silence me. Soon they and you will see what I have been working to create for the last six months. I am not yet at liberty to give all the details yet but will be going public with it this summer! I suspect it will bless many who have a desire to share the gospel with Catholics and keep their loved ones from joining Catholicism. I have many ministries and people of God working to bring this vision to fruition and the enemy knows exactly what it is, so we are not surprised he would inspire Catholics to launch character assassinations against me and others with me. I have been in ministry for a number of years and have had haters from day 1. It is a part of what comes with apologetics and with sharing the Gospel.
Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. (1 John 3:13)
“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. (John 15:18-19)
Iranian officials attempted to calm international tensions this week by assuring reporters their ongoing hostility was “purely ideological” and “absolutely not personal whatsoever.”
Witnesses say the statement was delivered moments before massive crowds erupted into chants calling for destruction, while military officials stood nearby nodding solemnly.
Sources confirm several Western commentators quickly appeared on television to explain the rhetoric was likely “far more nuanced culturally,” despite decades of threats, proxy attacks, and openly hostile speeches suggesting otherwise.
Experts say confusion continues to grow as Iranian leadership repeatedly insists they are merely expressing “deep political disagreement” in the exact same tone most people reserve for comic book villains.
At press time, one spokesman clarified, “We oppose them spiritually, politically, geographically, historically, militarily, and existentially… but again, nothing personal.”
