Protestants Reject the Heart of Christianity [The Eucharistic Sacrifice]
"The heart of religion is worship, and the heart of worship is sacrifice." - Father Mike Schmitz
In this video, we dive into why Protestants reject the heart of Christianity. Exploring the foundational role of the Catholic priesthood, and how Protestant denominations overlook or misunderstand the Mass and the priesthood.
The Catholic priesthood is central to the faith, with the authority to offer the sacrifice of the Mass, rooted in apostolic succession. The "Reformers" such as Martin Luther believed that we are all priests in equal standing and authority. Unfortunately, Protestants who embrace "sola scriptura" may miss the rich significance of the priesthood, which is essential for preser...

Is Purgatory Real? The Inadvertent Help From R.C. Sproul
Просмотров 99714 дней назад
RUclips: Purgatory Is purgatory real? At a minimum, it should be admitted that the doctrine is not unreasonable. And support for this claim comes (inadvertently) from a surprising source: the famous Calvinist theologian, R.C. Sproul. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven,” which is experience...

    All religions reject the heart of Christianity which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You have the Word of God which you do not understand because you want God to do things your way and not his. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Only Jesus can baptize you with the Holy Spirit, you baptize with water yet you won't repent!

    Before the last supper Jesus washes the disciples’s feet. This is going back to exodus 40: 30-32 when moses brung aaron and his sons to the consecration of the priesthood. Leviticus 8:7 describes how Moses carried out these washings before he dresses aaron and his sons in priestly gartments. When peter refused to have his feet washed Jesus said if i do not wash you, you have no part in me. John 13:8 the greek word for part meros echoes portion that Old Testament priests were to have in god and god alone. Read numbers 18:20. Jesus is saying you have no part in me signals the apostles priestly status , having a unique share in jesus as Aaron and the levites had a unique share in god. This would also seem to point to Jesus’ s divinity as well. When John and Luke’s last supper narratives are taken together, we have a total details that support the conclusion that jesus made the apostles his new covenant ministerial priests. Jesus commands the apostles to do this in remembrance of me which suggest they are to offer the last supper as a sacrifice.

    Samuel said, "To obey is better than sacrifice." Paul's idea of sacrificial worship in the new covenant is different from the Greco-Roman idea. He calls Jesus our High Priest, the sole member of the order of Melchizedec. When he writes about appointing a presbyteros he eschews the proper term for priest: heireus. Paul says, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Living obedience, not empty ritual by corruptible priesthood.

    • @midairfortress-revert
      @midairfortress-revert 7 дней назад

      False dichotomy. We are all called to obedience, and offering the new covenant Eucharistic sacrifice is a command we are to obey. You might want to check with Jesus about whether that is an “empty ritual.”

    •  7 дней назад

      @H1Guard you’re clearly in the wrong. Read 1 Corinthians 10:20, 1 Corinthians 10: 16-21. If communing with demons in pagan sacrifices implies that demons are really present, then communing with the body and blood of jesus in the eucharist implies that his body and blood are really present. Protestants are really blind to scriptures the Eucharist sacrifice was foretold in the Old Testament in 1 Malachi:11 they’re really missing out on how Christ is to be worshipped.

    Adam and Eve’s sin brought both physical and spiritual death into the world because they ate the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:17, 3:19). This reversed the eternity God originally intended for them, subjecting all of humanity to corruption (Romans 5:12). But just as death entered through eating, Jesus offers His Flesh and Blood in the Eucharist as the antidote to death, restoring eternal life: "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:54, KJV 1611). Unlike the fruit of disobedience that cursed mankind, the Eucharist is the true "fruit of the Tree of Life"-Jesus Christ Himself. By consuming His Body and Blood, we receive the grace to undo Adam’s sin and regain the immortality he lost. The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms: “The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life’... for in the Blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself” (CCC 1324). This divine reversal is profound: Adam ate and died; we eat Christ and live. The Eucharist is not mere symbolism but the real presence of Jesus (John 6:55), giving us the hope of resurrection. St. Irenaeus (c. 130-202 AD) confirms: “Just as the bread, which comes from the earth, after God’s blessing has been invoked upon it, is no longer ordinary bread but the Eucharist, so too our bodies, after receiving the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, having the hope of resurrection” (Against Heresies 4.18.5). Mary, the New Eve, played a role in reversing the Fall. Where Eve’s disobedience brought death, Mary’s obedience (Luke 1:38) allowed Christ, the New Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), to offer us His Body as the true Bread of Life. This is why Jesus insists: “Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you” (John 6:53, KJV 1611). The Eucharist and Incorruptible Saints As further proof of the Eucharist’s power, the incorruptible bodies of Catholic saints stand as miraculous witnesses to Christ’s promise of eternal life. Many saints who lived in deep devotion to the Eucharist have been preserved from decay after death, defying natural corruption. Notable examples include: St. Bernadette Soubirous (d. 1879) - Her body remains fresh, despite no embalming. St. John Vianney (d. 1859) - His heart remains incorrupt, a testament to his Eucharistic devotion. St. Catherine Labouré (d. 1876) - Over a century later, her body remains intact. St. Charbel Makhlouf (d. 1898) - His body exuded a miraculous, fragrant oil. St. Francis Xavier (d. 1552) - His body remains largely intact despite centuries. These incorruptibles prove Christ’s words: "He that eateth this bread shall live for ever" (John 6:58, KJV 1611). Their uncorrupted state points to the promise that those nourished by the Eucharist will be transformed and raised in glory at the final resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:52-53). The Eucharist is not just a ritual-it is the divine remedy for both spiritual death and physical resurrection. Through Christ’s Flesh, we conquer the curse of Adam and live again in eternity.

    I have always wondered why some biblical translations use priest (hiereus) in some cases and elder (presbuteros) in other cases. The elders were the new testament priest so is this why in James 5 it states "call for the elders (presbuteros) of the church" rather than hiereus in order not to confuse the old testament priesthood with the new testament priesthood of Christ?

    To be a Christian, we are to be like the Melchesidec of old Melchesidec Abraham and his lineage. Each of us directly interacts with Jesus and follows him. To do this we must hear his voice. In visions, verbally in our head, through other people, through things that happen. Being a Priest and a king, each of us is what being in Christ is based on. Do you hear Jesus? Have you seen Jesus? Have you seen angels? Can you see demons? Do you know what your Gifts from Jesus and the Holy Spirit are? Mine are Healing, Wisdom, and Discernment. With Discernment of Spirit's. I can slay in the Spirit, heal, see demons, cast them out, know things a human couldn't know. I have seen Jesus twice and he personally gave me a black daughter at the age of 12. I received her at age 25. Do you walk with Jesus or are you dead inside?

    Hebrews 10:1-3 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. - the difference in Catholicism and a Baptist, is that the Baptist practices the Lord supper or communion, looking at the finished work of Jesus Christ. Where the catholic priest continues to sacrifice, saying that the work of Christ is insufficient. How is it possible to crucify the Lord again? Hebrews 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. - the faithfulness of Christ is our confidence, not in our own righteousness.

Everytime you fall away (sin), you crucify the Son of God. No one who *remains in him* sins; *no one who sins has seen him or known him.* [1John 3:6, NABRE]. God bless...

    Transubstantiation (Instituted in AD 1215) Definition:"The whole substance of the bread and wine is converted into the actual and real, entire body and blood of Christ." Radbertus first suggested this idea in the 9th century. Catholicism supports this by a literal view of Matthew 26:26-29. The bread and wine, however, were only symbols of Christ's body and blood-partaken of as an act of remembrance (Luke 22:19). There is no "conversion" of the bread into literal flesh, nor of the wine into blood. Note: 1) Jesus, after saying "this is My blood" in verse 28, added: "I will not drink at all of this fruit of the vine…" (verse 29)-showing that it was still wine and had not changed into blood. 2) Jesus often described Himself in symbols, yet no one takes these literally: • John 10:7 "I am the door"-Did Jesus mean He was literally wooden? No. • John 14:6 "I am the way"-Did Jesus mean He was literally a road? No. • John 15:5 "I am the vine"-Did Jesus mean He was a literally a vine? No. • John 8:12 "I am the light"-Did Jesus mean He was literally a light? No. • John 6:48 "I am the bread of life"-Did Jesus mean He was literally a loaf of bread? No. • John 6:63 indicates that Jesus was speaking figuratively, spiritually-not literally. 3) The bread and wine did not become Christ's body and blood because God forbids the drinking of blood (Deuteronomy 12:16; Acts 15:20, 29). 4) We take Christ as our Savior once. Passover is to be a recurring memorial and, therefore, has no saving merit of itself. Catholics are commanded to believe in transubstantiation because the teaching was decreed at the Council of Trent (1551) as essential for salvation. The Council pronounced a curse on anyone who would deny it. Paul, on the other hand, pronounced a double curse in Galatians 1:6-9 on anyone who preached a different Gospel-one that denied Christ's death and resurrection as being fully sufficient for salvation. 5) Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to come to us via the Holy Spirit-not through some mysterious "sacrifice of the mass." "[God] shall give you another Comforter, that it may be with you throughout the age: even the Spirit of the truth, which the world cannot receive because it perceives it not, nor knows it; but you know it because it dwells with you, and shall be within you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you" (John 14:16-18). How then do we "eat Christ's flesh and drink Christ's blood"? By taking in the words of God when we call on Christ to save us: "The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63). Peter got the message: "You have the words of eternal life" (verse 68). The scribes, who heard Jesus' words, understood the Hebraic idea of receiving God's words into one's inner being: "Your words were found, and I ate them" (Jeremiah 15:16); "I will put My law in their inward parts" (Jeremiah 31:34). If the transubstantiation doctrine was formulated in the 9th century and is necessary for salvation, what happened to all those living before that time, before transubstantiation was thought of? Did they all go to hell? 19. The Mass (Instituted in AD 394) Definition: "At every mass, Christ is sacrificed again." Catholicism says: "In the mass, no less than on Calvary, Jesus really offers His life to His Father." But must Jesus be continually sacrificed-or was His one-time death sufficient to pay for sin forever? Christ's one-time sacrifice is sufficient; here's why: 1) Jesus, as He died, said: "It is finished" (John 19:30)-the whole work of salvation, for which He came into the world, was accomplished on the cross. Nothing more can be added to it. The mass insults Christ's death on the cross as being not good enough to pay fully for all of our sins. 2) When Jesus died, the veil in the Jews' Temple as torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51), showing that the way into God's presence was open to all believers in Christ's work on the cross. No other sacrifice or priesthood was needed, just Jesus' High Priesthood. 3) The New Covenant states that: "Now where remission of these is, it is no longer necessary to offer sacrifices for sin" (Hebrews 10:18). The Catholic mass contradicts this clear statement. 4) In the book of Hebrews, Christ's sacrifice is said to be accomplished "once" for all-never to be repeated: Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:25, 26, 28; and Hebrews 10: 10, 12, 14, 18. Peter adds that "Christ indeed once suffered for sins" (I Peter 3:18).

      What you wrote is classic arguments against the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Mass. 1. The term Transubstantiation was introduced in 1215 AD but the belief did not start in that year. Just like the name Trinity was introduced in 4th century does not imply early Christians did not believe it. 2. You should compare the phase "This is my Body" with the phrase of the same word structure like "This is my beloved Son (Mat. 3:17, 17:5, Mar. 9:7, Luk. 9:35). The former came God the Son, and the latter came from God the Father. In the latter the word “this” refers to Jesus, while “my” refers to God the Father. Jesus is not figuratively Son of God, like the Israelites (Exo. 4:22) and neither He was one of angels (the beloved one) referred as sons of God in Job 1:6 and 2:1. Jesus is indeed the beloved Son of God, consubstantial with God the Father. In the phrase “This is my Body”, “this” refers to the bread Jesus held in His hands, while “my” refers to Himself. He did not say: “this is my Body with the bread”, as taught by Luther. Neither did He say: “this is symbol of my Body” as taught by Zwingli, nor: “this is my Body spiritually present with the bread” as taught by Calvin. Thus, the bread is indeed His Body. A person may tell a lie when he said: “this is my car” if that car did not belong to him - but, certainly, we do not believe Jesus would lie to us, do we? Being God the Son, Jesus, who is now reigning in heaven (1 Cor. 15:25), certainly can make Himself sacramentally present in the form of bread and wine in every Mass. The intention is to enable us, which is grace from Him, through consuming His Body (His Flesh and His Blood), to become partakers of His divine nature (2 Pe. 1:4). 3. What is forbidden is drinking blood from animals. You yourself do not obey what Scripture says not to blood of animals. If you do you must consume kosher meat (slaughtered by Jews) or halal meat (slaughtered by Muslims). 4. Passover meal of OT is indeed recurring and sacrificial meal where Jews consumed (roasted) passover sacrificed lamb. Christ is the Passover Lamb of the New Covenant (1 Cor. 5:7). According to 1 Cor. 10:21 we partake the Eucharist from the Table of the Lord. Table of the Lord is ALTAR, based on Mal. 1:6-8 says. You do not serve ordinary meal from altar but sacrifice or offering. Heb. 13:10 says believers have altar were those who serve at the tent (levitical priests) have no right to eat. Priests of OT were entitled to eat some of sacrifice from altar in tent (during exodus) or later in Jerusalem Temple (Lev. 6:26; 7:6; 24:9, Num. 18:10-11 etc.) 5. Jesus did promise the Holy Spirit to guide His disciples in truth including THINGS TO COME (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit did not mute Himself or became inactive for fourteen centuries (until Reformation) after the death of the last apostle or after the last book of NT was written. Why would He? When Jesus said "it is finished" he accomplished His mission why He became human (Mar.10:45), that is to atone the sins of all men and therefore led to justification and life for all men (Rom. 5:18), not only believers. The torn curtain between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place in Jerusalem Temple (or Tent during Exodus) show that New Covenant priests and the High Priest (Jesus) offer the same offering. Most of OT offering were abolished. In the Mass the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ on the cross is made present (NOT repeated) through the ministry of priests.

    No. The heart of Christianity is Jesus and what he did for us on the cross. Although transubstantiation was accepted very early on in Christianity, the original apostles teach that the bread and the wine is an ALLEGORY. But, but, but... OK. Maybe you believe that it really becomes the body and blood of Jesus and you have proof texts for that. I don't have a problem with that. If you read the Bible that way and you are convinced by the tradition passed down then I don't think it would be helpful to argue the toss. After all, many did understand it that way. But not everybody. The Didache does not even mention transubstantiation. You would expect a document of that nature to to teach "The heart of Christianity", wouldn't you? But no. Its very Jewish it's description of the eucharist. The verses that talk about it are somewhat "poetic". They are a bit hazy as to whether the eucharist REPRESENTS the body and blood of of Jesus or actually BECOMES the body and blood of Jesus. That's not a rejection, that's just a different understanding. Its not heresy, it's just a belief system that is completely valid. Protestants take communion very seriously. We examine ourselves and ensure we don't take it unworthily. We repent of sin and it is a very serious moment. That is all the scriptures require of us. You can't prove otherwise. That's going to end up in a big debate that will lead nowhere. Here's my suggestion: Bury the hatchet. You don't HAVE to believe in transubstantiation to have a valid Lords supper. What is the point in throwing rocks at another brother who sees things differently and with good reason? Its OK. let him be. Many Protestant churches model their worship styles around David and the Psalms. That's ok. You don't HAVE to do a litturgy. I actually enjoy both. I am equally edified. How about more thinking about unity? I think that is a better way

      Where do you guys get all these nutty ideas? St.Ignatius of Antioch was tutored directly by St.John the Apostle (the one who wrote the bread of life discourse). St.Ignatius relays what he was taught by the Apostles; that the eucharist is indeed the flesh of Jesus; using the same words and terms as most closely found in Transubstantiation. That was in 110AD from someone schooled by an Apostle and not refuted by those in the communties he bishoped.

    • @verdecillo9940
      @verdecillo9940 6 дней назад

      No, you are mistaken- the original apostles do NOT teach that the Eucharist is allegory. And the verses are NOT “poetic” nor “hazy”- you must never have read John 6:53-58 or 1 Corinthians 11:27-31. And the Didache actually does teach the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist- it refers to the Eucharist as a “pure sacrifice”- how can one have an allegorical “pure sacrifice”? And as 39knights points out- St. Ignatius (and numerous other early leaders) wrote very explicitly about the Eucharist. So, no- disbelief about the Eucharist is NOT a valid understanding- it is indeed a heresy. And no, most Protestants do not “take communion very seriously”- many only celebrate communion once per month (some even only once per quarter), and they casually pass around a plate of crackers and grape juice that everyone grabs from, not caring about spillage, and they even throw away the leftovers afterward. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not trying to be condescending- tone of voice is not conveyed in writing, I am simply exposing the truth. I humbly recommend that you do a little more research. As for unity, yes indeed- we want unity- and Jesus Christ Himself prayed that Christians be united (see John 17:20-23). Therefore, everyone should be a member of the Body of Christ- the one original Church that He Himself established- not a separated part from one of the thousands of communities that rejected His Body. We love you and would gladly welcome you into Christ’s Church in which you can experience the fullness of Christ’s love.

    All good. Some supporting comments: 1. midairfortress at 4:58 - "... some have supposed, some scholars have supposed that this change to a new word might have been influenced by the many Levitical priests who were obedient to the new faith, the faith founded by Jesus Christ." Response: A. Malachi 3: 3-4 (KJV): And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. B. Acts 6:7 (KJV): Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. 2. midairfortress at 5:58 - 6:15: "In fact, until we get to Hebrews 2:17, the word priest is never used to describe Jesus. Yet no one supposes that Jesus is not depicting Himself as the priest, the high priest of the New Covenant in the gospels. Just the word is not used." Comment: Although the word 'Gospel' is reserved for the main eye witness accounts of Jesus, either first hand from Matthew and John, or second hand from Mark (writing what Peter had preached according to St. Irenaeus of Lyon) and Luke (a companion of Paul, also according to Irenaeus), there are elements of authoritative 'Gospel' in other New Testament books: A. The Acts of the Apostles can be considered another 'Gospel' since the resurrected Jesus appears and speaks to Paul. B. The Book of Revelation can be considered another 'Gospel' since John transmits what the resurrected Jesus in heaven is telling him. C. Likewise, the letter to the Hebrews can be considered another 'Gospel' as its unknown author appears to be a temple insider who (1) not only observes Jesus, but also, (2) attributes Psalm 40:6-8 as fulfilled in Jesus' own words at the beginning of His Incarnation: (1) Hebrews 5:7 (KJV): Who in the days of his flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that He feared. (2) Hebrews 10:5 (KJV): Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me." 3. Protestants will accept Jesus Christ as the new high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, but reject that He ordained the Apostles to the same priesthood also. A. However, according to Hebrews 7:1-3 (KJV): For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. B. At the Last Supper, Jesus Christ, the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, conferred His kingdom (Heb 7:2) upon His apostles: Gospel of Luke 22:29 (KJV): "And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me" C. At the Last Supper, Jesus Christ, the high priest according to the order of Melchizedek, conferred His peace (Heb 7:2) upon His apostles: Gospel of John 14:27 (KJV): "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." D. Hence, it follows that besides conferring the kingdom and the peace of Melchizedek upon His apostles, Jesus Christ conferred His priesthood upon His apostles as integral to that kingdom of peace : Gospel of Luke 22:19-20 (KJV): And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 4. The many converted priests of Acts 6:7 would immediately grasp that the new rite from the Last Supper was both the fulfillment and supercession of the temple grain offerings outlined in Leviticus, Chapters 2 & 6. Leviticus 6:14-18 (KJV): And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar. And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD. And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it. It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering. All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy. (The "meat offering" in Leviticus 6 above is the early modern English rendering of "grain offering" according to Strong's 4503 [e], that is translated from the Hebrew word הַמִּנְחָ֑ה and transliterated as ham-min-hah, besides being one of Dr. Mark Ward's 'false friends' in his King James Bible study series).

It actually states what remits or retains the persons sin. Catholics don't like Mark 16:15--18 because it gives power to the gospel and not the Apostles (priests).

      Explain that the miraculous signs mentioned in Mark 16 (driving out demons, drinking poison) were not performed to prove a believer’s faith or that one has a “special anointing,” as taught by the Church of God with Signs Following sect, but instead they were meant to confirm the truth of Christ’s message. Bernard Orchard’s A Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture explains the miracles of Mark 16:17-18 in this way: When sending the Apostles on a temporary mission in Palestine, Christ gave them power to cast out demons in order to strengthen the appeal of their preaching. Now he promises to believers miraculous signs to guarantee the truth and divine origin of the doctrine which they had accepted (Heb. 2:4). The promise is made to the community of the faithful rather than to each individual believer. In the early days of the Church, possibly because of a skeptical and hostile world to which the Gospel and Church were still new, some of these manifestations more frequent than in later times. But Christ’s promise is not limited to a particular period. In every age miracles have given proof that Christ abides with the Church. What denomination are you affiliated with?

    Foreshadowing of the Eucharistic Sacrifice Gen. 14:18 - this is the first time that the word “priest” is used in Old Testament. Melchizedek is both a priest and a king and he offers a bread and wine sacrifice to God. Psalm 76:2 - Melchizedek is the king of Salem. Salem is the future Jeru-salem where Jesus, the eternal priest and king, established his new Kingdom and the Eucharistic sacrifice which He offered under the appearance of bread and wine. Psalm 110:4 - this is the prophecy that Jesus will be the eternal priest and king in the same manner as this mysterious priest Melchizedek. This prophecy requires us to look for an eternal bread and wine sacrifice in the future. This prophecy is fulfilled only by the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Catholic Church. Malachi 1:11 - this is a prophecy of a pure offering that will be offered in every place from the rising of the sun to its setting. Thus, there will be only one sacrifice, but it will be offered in many places around the world. This prophecy is fulfilled only by the Catholic Church in the Masses around the world, where the sacrifice of Christ which transcends time and space is offered for our salvation. If this prophecy is not fulfilled by the Catholic Church, then Malachi is a false prophet.

Only sacrifice or offering can be served form altar. In 1 Cor 10:21 Paul wrote about partaking the Eucharist from the Table of the Lord. The Table of the Lord is synonymous with altar as it is stated in Mal. 1:6-8. In other words the Eucharist is sacrifice.

      Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, partake of the Holy Sacraments that help you into holiness, love your neighbor as you love yourself, live a righteous life, humble yourself to the Lord and obey his commandments. The way to Salvation is a narrow path and it envolves suffering, for who can say I know the Lord and not know suffering? God bless

      Your abiding in Christ because he is Lord... Which includes abiding in his church because his church is his body. We just think abiding in Christ is a bit more involved than the assent of the mind (belief). It's a lived out faith in believing everything Christ said, that he does something to us in baptism and the Eucharist and confession, and that the church is the ark given to us by Jesus to carry us to salvation. Just about everything Protestants think is absurd about Catholicism flows from that core.

    Great video. The protestant view that the Lord is present (spiritually) if one believes that He is is absurd. It reduces faith to pure subjectivism. How long does it take until such view lead the person into uncertainty, and then into complete apostasy?

      Reformed theology articulates "pneumatic" presence. anglican theologies vary, mostly settling on real presence. methodists? (a mixed bag of views). lutheran's hold to sacramental union. many evangelicals outright reject historic protestant views, settling on strict memorialism (which is not the view of the Reformed scholastics). so some nuance is needed here in this discussion

      @HenryLeslieGraham I wasn't clear enough. I was referring to the view in specific, not which denomination has it. The lack of nuance in my comment is evidence, in a broader sense, of the problem I exposed: too much people having their own ideas about matters of faith. Am I being too harsh if I say that the lack of consensus in those matters is what caused so many denominations to be created? Maybe I am, but it is not my fault.

    📜 Hebrews 4:14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 📜 1Peter 4:4As you come to him, the living Stone-rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him- 5you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house a to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 📜 John 1:14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 📜 1Prter 4:11If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 📜 Jeremiah 7:3This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. 4Do not trust in deceptive words and say, “This is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord!” ...16“So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. 17Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven. They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger. 19But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?

    i agree to a large extent. but do note: in the anglican eucharistic service, sacrifice is explicitly mentioned, and a sacrifice is offered. this sacrifice however is one of PRAISE and THANKSGIVING. I am not speaking for anglo-catholic theology here (though i am one), but the prayer book is explicit in its affirmation of "eucharistic sacrifice". the disagreement is over what is being sacrificed.

    • @39knights

      The only other issue with Anglo-Catholics is their sacramental priesthood is not recognized as being Apostolic; so in effect the 'priests' of the Anglo-Catholic are merely laypeople dressing up as priests. Without a real priesthood you can't have a real sacrifice, and thus not proper worship.

    Everybody goes to bootcamp training in any military or law enforcement to become one. Hazing and intense discipline. You learn the chain of command and salute to officers whether they male or female or any race, color or creed. If you join the military you will salute to officers who may be atheist or buddhist. So it kills me when protestants say they wont bend the knee to Mary or to none of the patriarchs and matriarcha of the Bible. The Kingdom of God is a Monarchy so you will go to purgatory if you think you're not going to genuflect to Mary or any of the Champions of God. Purgatory is where the Holy Barbarians are going to beat every drop of rebellion and fleshly desires. You will experience the mass in a brutal way. A lot of people have a lot of mouth and a lot of opinions and that will get God smacked right out of you. St.Faustina said she saw demons in purgatory too so Purgatory is a Scared Straight military boot camp. Either that or Hell. Graduate from purgatory and you join Gods Holy Army.
