Is there a difference between Byzantine Catholics and Eastern Rite Catholics?

The world is going to get so much worse before he comes again in Glory.   We will be tempted to do the easy and wrong thing because its "necessary in the moment and then we can go back to being Godly men."



Fighting for underscores everywhere.

The Byzantine Rite is an Eastern Rite. There are other Eastern Rites.

2 Timothy 3:10-15
 "...You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me.  Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." ...
  ~ Paul the Lord's Apostle to Timothy

1 Peter 4:12
"...Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
  ~ Peter the Lord's Apostle

I have found in my walk with the Lord when you truly want to know Christ; you will draw near and know His suffering and the power of His resurrection. It is in this place that I've known intensely His joy, His love. The revelation of the cross.

Philippians 1:21
"... For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."...

Philippians 1:29
"...For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,"...

Philippians 3:9-11
"... and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
  ~ Paul the Lord's Apostle.  

Paul carried his cross. He had a cross on his heart.

I didnt watch the video.  I believe satan rules the earth. Peoples natural defalt setting is for the flesh. When satan took Christ up to the peak and offered to give it all to him, I believe it was his to offer.  When we step away from that fallen/defalt setting, you have chosen a new side. That makes you the enemy.  I have a friend that goes to lgbtq events to witness for Christ. He says you wouldnt believe how they just love everyone and everything is hugs and love. Until someone mentions Christ then they instantly hate you.

It really is remarkable. It's like vampires responding to a crucifix.

If by that you mean the prime of your temporary life, I can believe that.

However, if you mean the prime of your spiritual growth....I doubt it.
