00:28Okay, let's talk, as we were saying a moment ago, we're going to talk a little bit about the letter shortly.
00:34Trying, in this introduction, in this kind of introduction, to form a clear concept of the letter
00:42and see more or less the general topics that the letter will cover.
00:49We'll dedicate a chapter directly to this, won't we?
00:52And well, to summarize this introduction and looking at the main themes of the letter,
00:59We could say that this letter contains six chapters according to the canon we have today of the Bible.
01:06Pablo writes to the community, as we were saying earlier, because he is in danger
01:12and it surely speaks to tensions and doubts that already existed in the community,
01:18because some were overstepping their bounds and wanted to revalue Jewish practices.
01:24The faithful are once again requesting religious practices because they have not understood
01:30or because they have forgotten that being a Christian is not, in the first place, about practicing a religion,
01:38but rather to live a faith, and this is something we should get into our heads.
01:45In other words, today Christianity in general, but particularly Catholicism,
01:51He thinks that being Christian, being Catholic, is about performing a series of practices
01:56and it's not about living a faith.
01:59That's why this letter from the Galatians is so important.
02:03because it helps us understand clearly that it's not about doing a lot of practice
02:08like the Jews who believed they would be saved by all the practices they performed,
02:13But they lived in a way that Jesus came to completely condemn.
02:17And if Jesus were to come again today, what would he find of our church?
02:24Would he truly find faith, or would he find us all happily going to mass?
02:29But living a life completely outside the gospel?
02:33So, one of the central ideas is to help us realize
02:37It's not about doing a lot of work, it's about living.
02:42in a way particularly aligned with the gospel faith.
02:49On the other hand, we have the discovery of the gospel,
02:53for it had been a bath of freedom for the Galatians.
02:57Those who were Jewish had escaped the tyranny
03:00that marked his entire existence.
03:03Imagine if today we had to,
03:06Well, sometimes that happens, right?
03:08Going to mass out of obligation and not out of desire.
03:12How sad!
03:14Well, for those who lived in Galatia
03:18and they discover the gospel,
03:20They discover in them freedom from the tyranny of the law.
03:25Those who were Greeks, those who were pagans,
03:29They had freed themselves from a fatalistic view of the world
03:32and the prejudices of their society.
03:36There, too, liberation had taken place in the most radical form.
03:40And now he was returning to slavery once more.
03:43On the other hand, for a time,
03:46The Galatians had experienced the same thing that Paul had experienced,
03:49But it was difficult for the community to sustain itself.
03:52in such a new line.
03:54Knowledge is fresh, it is incipient.
03:58Then, easily, with the help of the enemy
04:02that masks itself with light,
04:05because it easily began to erode
04:09this novelty that Pablo had brought
04:12for this community of Galatia.
04:14On the other hand, there were also people
04:16that offered an answer
04:19who were perhaps Christians of Jewish origin,
04:23who knew how good it is to have a law,
04:26But on the other side, they too were interested,
04:30because Jewish practices allowed them to open the doors
04:33of the Jewish community
04:34to what suited their businesses, right?
04:37So, how difficult the first evangelization was!
04:43the second and the third.
04:44How difficult it is to evangelize because we evangelize communities
04:49that are surrounded by other elements
04:53that they will continue to work against it.
04:58And on the other hand, there is no shortage of mercenaries.
05:01that regarding this faith in Jesus Christ
05:06They seek to enrich themselves through this.
05:08Pablo's response is severe.
05:11and he affirms this by saying
05:13than to give credence to the rules and practices of a religion
05:17It's about locking yourself into a system.
05:21This is enough to understand.
05:23that this letter to the Galatians
05:25It has tremendous relevance today
05:28where so many people are searching for certainty.
05:32On the other hand, to the extent that the church
05:36must attend to many faithful
05:38who only have limited experience
05:41of the life of the Spirit,
05:42It always has large gaps, doesn't it?
05:46And he always has the obligation
05:50to get down to their level
05:52with rites, precepts, and authorities.
05:56It must, therefore, at the same time
05:57keep clear
05:58or maintain awareness
06:01of their identity
06:02and rediscover
06:04the life of faith.
06:06That is to say,
06:07We're not going to throw out
06:09our practices,
06:11the law,
06:12the importance
06:13to have a structure
06:16hierarchical,
06:18but
06:19We need to focus
06:21in life.
06:23And often,
06:24Life is so difficult,
06:25because it's easier for us
06:27focus on the practices.
06:29It doesn't take much effort for anyone.
06:31attend mass
06:32or baptize a child.
06:34The problem is living a Christian life
06:36every day of the week
06:38and make that child
06:39whom we have baptized
06:41now I can live a Christian life.
06:42Things truly
06:45different.
06:46And today,
06:48well,
06:49we prefer
06:50with greater ease
06:51enter the topic
06:53of practical Catholicism.
06:56Do,
06:56I'm going to mass,
06:58christening
06:58to my children,
06:59I'll take them
07:00to the catechism,
07:01but my life
07:03is completely
07:04aside
07:05of faith.
07:07This would be a little bit
07:08the image,
07:09the idea
07:10of Galatians.
07:11Let's see now
07:12a bit
07:12the image
07:13from the letter
07:14to the Romans.
07:15Let's see now
07:16a broad introduction
07:18à la carte
07:19to the Romans.
07:20Unlike
07:21of the others
07:22introductions,
07:24given the importance
07:25of this letter
07:26and of the topics
07:27that I want to try
07:28with you,
07:29I've searched
07:29and updated
07:30a broad introduction
07:32carried out
07:33by Ernesto Jumenic,
07:34given that
07:35This is one
07:36of the writings
07:37most important
07:39of Saint Paul
07:39in which we see
07:41now to the mature apostle
07:42in his doctrine.
07:43It cannot be considered
07:45as a doctrinal treatise,
07:47but as a letter.
07:49So,
07:50we're going to
07:51see with
07:52some more
07:53detention
07:54This introduction
07:55which I think
07:56extremely
07:57important.
07:59So,
07:59we say,
08:00It's a letter
08:02whose content
08:03We'll see.
08:04both in this
08:05introduction
08:06as in the topics
08:07that we will play
08:08and present
08:09the development
08:10of the topics
08:10centrals
08:11of the Christian faith,
08:13salvation
08:14through
08:15of faith in Christ
08:16and the struggle
08:17that the apostle
08:18engaged
08:19so that it would not succumb
08:21this principle
08:21fundamental
08:22who plays Christ
08:23the single source
08:24of salvation.
08:26This mainly
08:27He touches it
08:28in the first part
08:29from his letter
08:30up to chapter 8.
08:32The following chapters
08:33He's going to play more
08:34some elements
08:35morals
08:36and some others
08:36important elements
08:37of the Christian life,
08:39but dedicates
08:40eight chapters
08:41only
08:41to consolidate
08:43this topic
08:44which already tried
08:45in Galatians
08:45and that now
08:46will reinforce
08:47and it's going to give
08:48many more arguments
08:49on the topic
08:50of salvation
08:51through
08:52of faith.
08:54It will be throughout
08:55of the times
08:56a bastion
08:57in which
08:58the Protestants
08:59have based
09:00a large part
09:00of his doctrine
09:01focused
09:02in faith alone,
09:04Only faith saves
09:06and only scripture
09:08or just writing.
09:10For this reason
09:11John Knox,
09:13that's true
09:13a well-known theologian
09:14of the Protestant Reformation,
09:16write that Romans
09:17It is the theological book
09:19most important
09:20that never
09:20has been written.
09:21This statement
09:22although it has
09:23strong foundations
09:24we don't think
09:25that it be so much
09:26Well, there are many.
09:27more writings
09:28starting with the
09:29of Saint Augustine
09:30that they would give
09:31better with this
09:32pronouncement.
09:34For their part
09:35Martin Luther
09:36said
09:36the epistle
09:37to the Romans
09:38It's the book
09:39major
09:39of the New Testament
09:41and the purest
09:42gospel
09:43so valuable
09:44that a Christian
09:45not only should
09:46know it by heart
09:47but also
09:49should take it
09:50with him
09:50like bread
09:51daily
09:52of his soul.
09:55Certainly
09:55It's a book
09:56very important
09:57of the New Testament
09:58Therefore we have
09:59dedicated precisely
10:00all this unity
10:01to review it
10:02but not because of this
10:03we can say
10:05that in him
10:05This content
10:06the Gospel
10:07of Jesus Christ
10:07nor even
10:08the most important book
10:10of Sacred Scripture
10:11since we cannot
10:12give it these characteristics
10:13none
10:14from the books
10:15because they are all
10:16word of God
10:17and that is why they are
10:18all equally
10:19important.
10:20Certainly
10:21Luther
10:22and Knox
10:22They give it a great
10:23importance
10:24because they are
10:25two great
10:25theologians
10:26Well
10:27Martin Luther
10:28the founder
10:28and Knox
10:29one of his followers
10:30and obviously
10:31if the entire reform
10:33Protestant
10:34part
10:35of these
10:37considerations
10:38and all this
10:39part
10:39from the letter
10:40to the Romans
10:41Well, it's obvious.
10:42that this be
10:44well the stone
10:45fundamental
10:46about which
10:47they are standing
10:48and obviously
10:49Well, about this
10:50We need to study
10:50and one must write
10:51and as it says
10:51Martin Luther
10:52We need to record ourselves
10:53the memory one
10:54I don't think
10:56So be it.
10:57But if I think
10:58which largely
10:59He's right.
11:00Martin Luther
11:01and that we have
11:02something to reflect on
11:03widely
11:04us
11:05Catholics
11:05that we have neglected
11:06largely
11:08the theme of life
11:09the topic of faith
11:09to focus
11:11on the topic
11:12of the works
11:12and for the works
11:13understand
11:14not the works
11:15of charity
11:16which is what
11:16The apostle is going to speak
11:17in the second part
11:18from the book
11:19but in the works
11:21easy
11:22in the works
11:23which is going to mass
11:24baptize a child
11:25I mean
11:25in worship
11:26then I think
11:28which is important
11:29that we pay attention
11:30also
11:30to what
11:31have participated
11:33with great interest
11:34the brothers
11:34of the reform
11:35and?
11:36because they have
11:37for us
11:38an important message
11:39especially
11:40now that this year
11:41We are fulfilling our obligations
11:42the 500 years
11:44of this movement
11:45that separated
11:46to the church
11:47we can't
11:48justify
11:49we cannot say
11:50that it was
11:51something dear
11:52For God's sake
11:52but nevertheless
11:54has contributed
11:55greatly
11:56especially today
11:57if we
11:57we refer
11:59to what
12:00it proposes
12:02the reform
12:03on the topic
12:04to put again
12:05our attention
12:06in salvation
12:08through faith
12:09we will be able to find
12:11in this movement
12:12a great blessing
12:14today
12:14for our church
12:16Okay, let's leave it at that.
12:17so far
12:18our moment
12:19study
12:19and we returned
12:21in a moment
12:21to continue
12:22the introduction
12:23what we are doing
12:24about this important
12:25letter
12:26this topic
12:26from the letter
12:27to the Romans
12:28which is fundamental
12:29for our study
12:30of this unit
12:31we return
12:32in a moment
12:52from the letter
12:52from the letter
12:53Thank you.
