This being said, faith is essential, it is one of the things we owe God. Believing all God revealed is one of the good works and a good starting point for the others.
2:18 That we do not achieve goodness (from a state of original or personal sin, from badness) from anything we can do is definitely the Catholic faith.
Check out what the debate was between Inquisitor Latomus and Tyndale.

- When you say the "rapture" is a heresy, I suppose you mean the pre-tribulation rapture of Christians.
Some Dispensationalists believing "Church age" ends 7 years or 3 years and 6 months before Second coming, contrary to God's word in Matthew 28:20.
In other words, there will be no 24 hours and even less multiples of these between a rapture of Christians and a coming of Christ back in the clouds.
However, it seems those still alive then and still faithful will in fact - after the tribulation - be raptured and according to St Thomas Aquinas they die and are resurrected in mid-air, so that they are not an exception to "it is appointed for all men to die".
Through the Dormition, the Blessed Virgin is also not an exception, and if Henoch and Elijah might seem to be, they will not remain so, in the Catholic tradition these are the two second forerunners, Apocalypse 11. They will be raptured again, after martyrdom and exposition on the streets of Jerusalem.

The third temple was torn down and rebuilt in three days - by Himself.

- 6:40 While an Orthodox Jew is likely to proclaim a false Messiah, he is somewhat less likely to accept one such proclaiming himself as God.
Btw, let's note, being a false Messiah to Jews may happen to someone who doesn't wish for it.
Tiberius did not exactly ask the Jews to shout "we have no king but Caesar" - and yet they shouted this lie, making Tiberius so to speak a substitute for God and for Christ Jesus.
Look how his name looks in ASCII:
T I B E R I V S 8 + 7 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 7 + 8 + 8=58 => * 10 = 580 4 + 3 + 6 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 3=36 => + 580 = 616

- 0:49 "to believe in the achievements of man"
I concur.
After the Flood, the first great Antichrist was Nimrod.
I have a hunch his "tower" was what in English is called a "rocket".
I checked with patristics to make sure not all the Church fathers take it as one architectonic building.
I found the sufficient divergence anonymously in so far as the young St Thomas Aquinas, who wrote Postilla in libros Geneseos probably when in Roccasecca or nearby monastery, before studying among Dominicans did mention that some believed it was a "skyline" rather than a "skyscraper" as we would say now.
So, I have not contradicted one interpretation shared by all Church Fathers in saying - Nimrod wanted Cape Canaveral. And Baikonoor.
This said, what would have happened if Leonardo had forced someone to try his air planes?
They would have fallen to their death, unless it was the precaution of doing so over very low altitude or over water.
Nimrod was enforcing his vision, and his rocket would have been fuelled by Uranium ... imagine what would have happened without God confusing the langues?
Meanwhile, rockets that do work involve basically water. There is a sacrament which gets people to Heaven more permanently which also involves water.
Anyone involved in space agencies should thank God for a delay of ... 4525 years (Peleg born 2562 BC acc. to Roman Martyrology) or 4687 years (Dispersion of Tongues in 2724 BC according to Syncellus) or similar.
1:17 "it is mankind himself"
I concur too. Nimrod was fulfilling a democratic decision. He was enforcing what others had suggested and voted.

When can young people marry?
Well, not before they can afford it is one guideline of prudence, not a total law of justice, but a guideline of prudence.
But royalties can afford it since they are babies, if it comes to this question of prudence, so, when did Christian royals marry?
This little study involves the ancestry of three royalties, and the age at which the girls married the first time:

No, it was not "no marriage before 18" as Italian Risorgimento dictators like Cavour imposed in former Papal States or as Lenin imposed in former Czarist Russia. 18 to 20 was the median, implying there were marriages before the bride was 18.

- 2:01 There are two versions of the Talmud. Babylonian and Jerusalemite.
I think a minority - especially Palestinian Oriental Jews - prefer the Talmud Yerushalmi.
Which does not include some of the bad things of the Babylonian Talmud.

- On the matter of Halakhic rules, two observations:
- since the Destruction of the Second Temple, they have not been continuously kept as prescribed by Moses;
- because the Old Covenant was conditional (Deuter. 28) and the New is rock solid eternal for the Church (Matt. 28).
And:
- The rules of Halakhic Judaism back before Christ came were ritually saying "Christ will come", the rules of the Church for liturgy, somewhat different in outer detail, are saying "Christ has come, He is already here".
- since the Destruction of the Second Temple, they have not been continuously kept as prescribed by Moses;

- 2:55 seems to refer to this passage:
"Rock is the unity of faith, not the person of Peter." (St Cyprian of Carthage De Catholicae Ecclesiae Unitate, cap. 4-5)
Let's also see on this one:
"The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever things you bind on earth shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, they shall be loosed also in heaven’ [Matt. 16:18–19]). ... On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet He founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were also what Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?"
~Cyprian of Carthage [A.D. 251]
Cited is probably Treatise 1, chapter 4:
Cyprian of Carthage: Treatise 1, On the Unity of the Church.

- Speaking of God or of one's belief in God involves a "very intimate question"?
The Motherland is most important in any person's life, that is more important than God?

Finally, this video was recommended to me:
Well, if he's the Antichrist, every attempt will be unsuccessful as to killing him.
If he's not, stupid to try to kill him for being Antichrist.
If he's still on the edge, could become but could still avoid becoming, extremely stupid to push him.
