As a catholic we never bring or read bible in our church. We just keep repeating prayers. Vowing and kneeling to different statues and rosary for hours. I started reading bible and taking notes. I am now a new person. Thank you Jesus for coming into my life.
@@111First One definition of prayer is making a request, especially in old English. It is almost like you are eager to support a half truth. It is a stretch to try to make a logical syllogism out of that. " Prayer is worship. Worship only God. Therefor Catholics are committing idolatry when they request Mary to pray for us." It is not logical at all and has a false premise. Not all prayer is worship as in worship of God. We can make a request to humans. That is one form of prayer. I sympathize with you greatly because that is what I was taught to do as a Fundamentalist Christian. But it caused me to commit the sin of bearing false witness against some brethren. Beware of that sin.
@@111First Yet St Paul urges us to be intercessors (a kind of mediator) by praying for others. I Tim 2:1-2. Actually when I was a Fundamentalist and being taught to deal with Catholics I was told to just quote part of I Tim 2:5&6. The Apostles Paul says that there is only one Mediator Between God and man WHO GAVE HIMSELF AS A RANSOM FOR ALL. There is only one GREAT MEDIATOR who gave himself as a ransom for all. But each of us are urged to be a mediator between God and Man by praying for each other. I was taught to stop quoting the passage half way through. There is only one Mediator between God and Man.....is not the same as......There is only ONE MEDIATOR between God and Man WHO GAVE HIMSELF AS A RANSOM FOR MANY. It is dishonest to leave out the end of the phrase to make that passage say something the Apostle Paul did not write. But I do understand that that fits better with the theology of the Baptists and other Fundamentalists than the whole passage was it was written in scripture do. But that is what I was taught to do. And apparently you have been taught that. And the pastor making this video too. It is sad, but true.
@@111First Nowhere does the Sacred Word say that Saints in Heaven cannot pray for us. The Church has believed they can from the earliest days of Christendom. We know that there was a belief that Saints on earth could make request to saints in heaven as early as the 1st Century. St John mentions it in Revelations 18. vs 20. The saints on earth, the captains in the ships and the sailors cried out to the Saints, and Apostles and Prophets in Heaven and actually made a request to them. They were asked to rejoice over the Fall of Babylon. There is another interesting verse in Revellation 8:5. Where the the saints in heaven were recieving the prayers of the Saints on earth and were passing them on to God. But evangelicals don't usually deal with scriptures that deal with prayers being directed from Saints on Earth through Saints in heaven. If they do deal with verses like this, it is only to deny them and try to explain them away. When I was a Fundamentalist, my religious tradition seemed to trump the meaning of the Words of the Sacred Word. Yet I was taught to belittle other Christians who did take them seriously and form their doctrinal system around what the Scripture said and what the earliest Christians believed. Recently invented doctrines are not usually what the Good Lord prefers.
I hope you see this comment. I was in a convent for 2 years. I had started reading my Bible on my own. My parents said the church forbade me to do so because I can misinterpret it. Then I went to a special church service with my parents right after I left the convent because I couldn’t sign that I believed Popes were infallible when it came to spiritual matters. At the event I received the Holy Spirit and then the priest went up into the pulpit and began to teach on wearing a special necklace with the image of Mary on it and saying the rosary daily. Immediately the Holy Spirit told me to not pray to anyone but to God my Heavenly Father in Jesus’s name! I asked in my mind how this priest could possibly be used of God to bless me and I receive the Holy Spirit then teach such a lie. He said He could use anyone at anytime to perform His plan. Wow!
Tiff you may not see this but thank your sir for your honest preaching. I wish every pastor would teach straight out the Bible like this. I enjoy feel good messages but I also want to be humbled I want to know right from wrong everyday. You sir you preach that. I may never meet you but I trust you and your preachings, thank you sir seriosuly thank you for what you do for the lord. May the lord bless you and your family. Thank you and I love you Mr. Tiff
Jesus did not tell you to change his name, evil man did, who is deceived by Satan, who fears the powerful name of Jesus which is a Hebrew name not English...Bible clearing tells you that you are not to add or take away even one little dot...The demons tremble at the name Jesus, Jesus is the name above all names, you cannot go to heaven with this man made name yeshua..stop following what some man td you and listen to what God has told you..Repent for your evil sin...
@@joanjarrette8691Yeshua is the Hebrew Name for the Son of God" given by Himself.. the name Jesus is not of any spoken language, but has been adopted by the Greeks and thier own interpretation of the name... then Christ was added on..Man-Made Name.. Hope God forgives you for unclaiming what he has given
Just yesterday I heard from one of your Bible studies, you was saying like this "when God sees a sincere and hungry heart who desires to know God and His word, He will send somebody to instruct you". and I am astonished by the fact that I'm just starting to pray the Hail Mary rosary's prayer today and then I saw that you've just upload this about Mother Mary the same day.. I don't know what to says.. I'm speechless, thank you lord Jesus for sending someone like you to an unworthy person like me.
Mary is a blessed virgin but like angel's we praise and honor Jesus first. She played the part of the saviors earthly mother.She is to be honored as a precious lady and mother of God.I don't pray to Mary because she didn't save my sins at calvary.
@@cherylross393 there's nothing I can do about it because I was baptised in a Catholic church and I"m reading and only have a Catholic prayer book since I don't do well at spontaneous prayer just yet.
He is saying to you, put me first. Mary was a beautiful favored woman and probably holds a high place in heaven. I don’t know, but we are not to pray to her ever. It is a sin. our God is a jealous God and we are not ever to go to a human for forgiveness. We can go confess to our brothers and sisters to help us get in alignment with God’s word, but we are never too confess to them or honor them above God.
We Catholics are NOT praying to Mary when resiting the Hail Mary. We are just asking her to pray for us. Same as having people in your Bible Study group to pray for one another.
Thank you so much Evangelist Tiff. I am a catholic and I understood everything. Your teachings were loud and clear. God bless you. Only Jesus is our mediator to God not his mother.🙏🙏🙏❤
@@kevinj2412 Have you ever had anyone request you to pray for someone? That is a better parallel to what happens when we request Mary to pray for us now and at the hour of our death. A prayer can be just a request. It is not always directed to the Deity. Catholics believe Mary is a human, a created being, not a God. And not to be worshiped as a God. That is a grave sin to worship a human as a god or God. Most evangelicals are not taught what Catholics believe. I was taught a lot of lies in Church when I was a Protestant, especially about what Catholics believe. God does not like lies, even if they are used to propagate what we believe to be true.
I was and evangelical for the first 50 years of my life. And one of the things that compelled me to leave that tradition was the dishonest way they dealt with intercession. They like to quote from I Tim 2:4......"There is but one Mediator between God and man..." I was taught to use that verse to prove Catholics were wrong on intercession, but let us look at the end of the verse. Compare the shortened phrase quoted by the Evangelicals "There is but one Mediator between God and man" with the important way the Scripture presents it. "There is but one Mediator between God and man......who gave his life as a ransom for all.." St Paul says there is but one great Mediator who gave his life as a ransom for all. But not in vs 2....just a few verses above that vs 4, Paul not only allows humans to make intercessions to God for others. He actually "urges" us to do that. Beware of smooth sounding speakers who do not present the Word of God honestly. They will fool you sometimes. The Bible does contain examples of Saints on Earth making requests to Saints in heaven, but you are unlikely to hear them mentioned in a so called "Bible Church." Revelation 18:20 records that some Saints on Earth....the captain and the sailors actually made requests to Saints in Heaven (these were Apostles, Prophets and Saints). The Saints on earth had a request for Saints in heaven.....that they rejoice over the Fall of Babylon. O.T. Jews also prayed to the departed Saints. And in Revelation 8:5, it is recorded that Saints in Heaved (the Elders) received the prayers of the Saints on Earth and apparently passed them on to God. The Traditions of the Catholic Church are the oldest traditions and they are Biblical Traditions. Beware of those who select scriptures and leave out important parts of verse, or who just cherry pick the verses that seem to support their doctrinal traditions and ignore Scriptures that teach against their favorite beliefs. God bless you on your journey to discover the true Historic Christianity. Don't settle for a recently invented revised version of Christianity.
@@mikeabbot4616 you can pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary … the Blessed mother brings you to Jesus … I am a Roman Catholic. I went 12 years to Roman Catholic school … I said from the start Our Lady Of Fatima … all true and documented She appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal … she made predictions. World War I would come to an end. World War II was going to happen … what was significant about that apparition in 1917 was the Miracle of The Sun google it there was eyewitnesses documentary all true there was even a movie based upon this apparition
Catholics pray the rosary to ask mary to intervene for them to get permission from Jesus to forgive their sins. They use mary as the middle person to get to Jesus. Thats not what Jesus said.
@nocellecaleb3398, I pray that you go on to know the Lord Jesus in the beauty of holiness. And that you will be born again of the water And the Spirit as Jesus told Nicodemus and as Peter preached to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sin and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38.
I wonder why Pastor Tiff gave that disclaimer about divisiveness, etc. Yes there are some things that might be a bit hard to understand in the Bible, but nowhere does it say we should pray to Marry, as in that just makes absolutely no sense, we have Jesus, and Jesus is a direct line to God, why would folks even come up with an idea to pray to Marry? We dont pray to Mosses, we dont pray to Noah, Isaiah, etc
While she is the most blessed of all women from the beginning of time, there are many scriptures in the Bible that support against praying to Mary as a deceased person. Jesus, her son, prayed to His Father in Heaven and He taught us how to pray. Not once did he mention her. It has never crossed my mind to pray/speak with my earthly father whom I love, respected and miss since he passed away when I was a child. Why would I pray/communicate with a person who is no longer alive when I have been given the gift, through Jesus Christ, to speak directly to the One, True, Almighty, Living God? The Bible actually tells us, in about 100 passages, not to speak to the dead. Jesus Christ and He only, is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one goes to the Father but through Him.
I thank so much Mr. Tiff so many people are blind to the fact that they don't pray to Mary and all the saints. Iam so glad for that study so I can bring it to people attention
Thank you for your teaching on this. I was raised Catholic, but left the Catholic Church years ago. I was raised to pray the Rosary all the time. But one day in my kitchen as I prayed the Rosary I had a visitation from JESUS. I felt Jesus fill the kitchen, and in fact HE was so large I had a vision that the ceiling opened up because Jesus was too large to be contained in the kitchen. I silently got out of my chair and lay face down on the floor. I didn't move or speak during my visitation from JESUS! I believe Jesus was trying to tell me that HE is more important than his Mother. I believe HE was trying to show me to pray to him. ❤ I needed this message of yours tonight, because my family still says the Rosary, and sometimes I've wondered if I shouldn't do this also sometimes. So this is clear truth, and reminds me of that MOST WONDERFUL DAY WITH JESUS. So, no more Rosary for me.
@@JohnSmith-cf4gn The first half of the Rosary is directly from the Gospels.....Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of they womb, Jesus. The second half is not directly from Scripture, but the conclusions of the Church regarding who the Christ was. In the early Church, some believed that Jesus was a created being. Some Scriptures could be understood that way. He is said to be "the firstborn of all Creation." Another place it says Jesus was the "only begotten Son of God." Taken alone these seem to support a Jesus that had a beginning. But the Church rejected that wrong view of Scripture. There are so many scriptures that say Jesus is God. The second half of the Rosary was likely written after the Church began to rebuke the false teaching that Jesus was just a Man, or the belief that Jesus "became the Son of God" by living a perfect life. Jesus was God from before he came to earth, the was God in the womb of Mary, and he is God forever. That Jesus being carried by the Blessed Mother Mary was actually God while in the womb. So the Church is proud to proclaim the Son of Mary truly is God. Thus the second half of the Rosary...... Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. "Holy" in scripture means set apart for the service of God. Mary certainly was that. And St James wrote that the "fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much." Paul in I Tim not only allows for us to pray for others, but he "urges" it. The Rosary is Truly a Biblical prayer that stresses the Deity of Christ, even before he was born. Many Protestants today believe that Christ was not divine when he was in the womb. He was not really divine until he lived a righteous life and was accepted as God's Son. This heresy is called an "Adoptionist Christology." We must stay away from teachings that deny that Christ was not God through all eternity past.

I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
I wish the Holy Spirit woukd show the Catholics who we should pray to..Thanku Evangelist.. I always enjoy your teachings.. especially that u always start with prayer ..end in prayer..and that youbteach us with love..God bless you.❤❤❤.. Im listening fro Swaziland
Thank you Pastor Tiff. I found you first on the Internet. I also found some other pastors on RUclips. However, I keep coming back to you for my teachings. I wish that I was closer to you so that I could listen to your preaching in person. You will never know how much you have helped me and many others in our search for God and Jesus. Thanks again. Please keep making RUclips videos so that many more will come to God.
I Prayed with you and Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior ! I enjoy listening to you! Im Lutheran and in our denomination we dont pray to saints or Mother Mary ! My Dad always said that you only pray to our Father in Heaven in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ , and this is how Ive been praying all my life! I'm always watching your pod cast!!! Its always interesting!
Excellent teaching straight from the bible, the words of God. We used to recite the Hail Mary when I was in a convent school. We have to bring this knowledge to our loved ones and friends. My sister still pray the rosary as well. Thank you, brother Tiff. God bless you.❤🙏🙏✝️
so have you shown your sister the Bible verses that instruct us NOT to pray or honor anyone except Christ? ie 1 Tim 2:5?? ONE mediator??? which is NOT mary?
@@Lauren-vd4qe I have told her not to pray to Mary, rosary etc. Have sent her many bible verses but can’t remember 1 Timothy 2:5. Thanks for bringing this bible verse to me. I have told her about being born again and 1 Timothy 1:7 because she has a lot of fear. Thank you and God bless you.❤️🙏🙏
@@suzanne9345 and what was her response? usually when u tell them dont pray to mary or do the bead thing, they say oh we dont pray to her we just honor her, etc and they DONT SEE that its a deception deviance from the devil to turn pples focus OFF Christ and put the emphasis focus on someone/something else....
Yes it is as I believe as prayer should have to be directed to God and in the name of Jesus As the savior that God send to earth to save mankind from the course of death from God for human disobeying God for eating the forbidden fruit. The book of Romans said death comes from our first parents that is Adam and Eve. The second Adam that is Jesus is a spirit that will give us life. As Jesus said thus who believed and do his will cannot die and thus who died will rise again. It means that Jesus being a man also experienced death but death cannot hold him as he have risen and defeated death. It is only Jesus that will come again to raise us again from death to join God's presence in heaven. Mary the mo ther of Jesus is just human that needs also salvation. This is the message of the Bible that we have to understand.
@@margaretrobinson-sn2nb Actually, I love your answer. I have a few friends who believe Peter started the church and was the first pope. I share videos that teach truth. Tiff does an excellent job explaining scripture.
Christ is clearly the Rock in the context of that Scripture. And Matthew 8:14,15. Yes, and Peter was married, not pope number 1, and had a "mother in law" who was sick and Jesus healed her and she then served Him@@sueporter6685
Amen Paster Tiff. You make it so easy to get to know our bible and to pray. Thankyou Jesus for people like our brother Tiff bless him abundantly to reach more people. Amen ❤
I love Friday because I know I will be able to listen to a new teaching.. he always teaches the Bible all the way through his teaching and such a great communicator.. love his archive videos to… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tiff I prayed with you today. My sister is a Catholic and I have been telling her for years that Mary isn't the one she is supposed to pray to, it is only the Father in the name of Jesus. She understands that and she has not been using her rosary and only been praying to the Father, in the name of Jesus. Thank you for confirming that for me. Thank you and God Bless for all you do.
Well said. The God-man Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God and son of man(Mary's ministry fulfilled) and He is the only Way Holy God and sinful mankind can get back together after The Fall, for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Forgiveness is a Person, He alone is the Resurrection and the Life. God Bless.
thank you for saying it. I was raised catholic - thank God I am now aware of the false doctrines they teach. Not only should we not pray to Mary or saints but they teach that she was assumed into heaven - there is no biblical record of this, it is totally "made up". She is the vessel God used to bring Jesus into the world in human form. That's all. She is not sinless, she was not assumed into heaven and we definitely shouldn't pray to her or any other saint. The bible is clear - all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Yet the catholic hierarchy teaches she was sinless - this is blasphemous to make a human on equal footing with God. Outrageous. It's a shame so many catholics just blindly follow without checking the bible to see if these things are true.
Tiff this was the most complete and respectful explanation of praying to Mary. Excellent! I was saved out of Catholicism at the age of 22. My cousin brought the truth of Salvation to me. I’m saving your message to use in the future for witnessing to Catholics. God bless you. Prudy D.
Thank you for this answer. My brother married a devout Catholic. My brother and I were raised in the Baptist Church. I changed over to a non-denominational church about 30 yrs ago and have never talked to my brother about some of the Catholic doctrine. This was one of my doubts, but my biggest problem was the confession of sins to a priest. I believe we confess our sins to God and he forgives us and erases the sin. I haven't come across anything in the Bible that would indicate confessing our sins to a priest. Can you answer that question? With the times we are living in now, I feel the need to speak to him. I don't believe he ever converted to Catholicism. I don't know where he is with the Lord and worried about his relationship with the Lord. Thank you for any information you can share.
@@PattyAlexander-td6tw We are always told to pray to the Father asking it in Jesus name. We are forbidden to pray to idols or any other man made version of God. When we confess our sins to God, He is faithful to forgive us of our sin. The blood of Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. There is nothing that can replace that or be above it. The Catholics call their priests, “ father “, when the Bible openly tells us to call no man father but our Heavenly Father. When you speak to your brother, avoid criticism of the Catholic Church. Stay on the subject of forgiveness through Jesus. Don’t argue about their saints, or customs. Stick to the Gospel message of Christ and Salvation. “ Go out into the world and spread the Gospel message.” Is our command from God. Not arguing or forceful demands on unbelievers. Show your brother that you love and respect his views, but can’t find foundation for them in the Bible. Trust in the Lord on this. Jesus said nothing will be able to snatch those God gave to Him, out of His hand. God in His foreknowledge has already chosen those who will believe in Him. Just live a Christian life before him and others. Importantly, read your Bible daily to get the truth on what you need to know. You will grow and be richer for it. You will also have more peace. Prudy 🙏🏻😇
Catholic Dont pray to Mary they ask Mary to ask her son Jesus Christ to help and have mercy on us. We ask Blessed Mary to intercede just as she did at the wedding at Cana
Yes, Jesus Christ is the only mediator between man and God. I don't think Catholic Church prays to Mother Mary; but asking her to pray for us to the Lord🎉
Perfect and on point teaching Evangelist Tiff about this subject and all Bible based answers my heart is for the Catholic people especially i have a lot of friends at work, my brithers wife and family are all come away from Catholics and got saved and born again into the family of God .. so grateful for this teaching Pastor Tiff S God must be glorified Amen Bless you and family and the Work of God ❤🥰from NZ🇳🇿
I feel as if God does not accept me! My biggest problem is I DO NOT know how to pray at all!! This keeps me from praying because I'm ashamed! Today, you said it does no good at all, nor does God want us to repeat a prayer! If I am saved, why can't I pray!?? Please help me with this problem that weighs so very heavy on my heart! I am 76 years old, and I am quickly running out of time Thank you, kind Sir!! Sincerely, Marylou 🙏❤️
@tenderheart I know I'm not the pastor and I'm not the 1 you asked. But that's the enemy trying to tell you lies about praying, God definitely wants his children to pray and talk to him. He wants a relationship with us. I feel the same as you sometimes but I know that is the enemy talking. Please don't be ashamed to pray to our Father talk to him as you would your best friend cause that's what he is. You absolutely can pray God knows your heart. Listen again to some of Pastor Tiff preaching on this subject. God so wants to hear from us. Praise him for who he is and what he's done. And give him your trouble he doesn't want us to carry that. Im 62 and pray to God all the time. Sometimes I just sing praises to him. And even though he knows I tell him how much I love him and praise his name. Praying for you. Just sending this to you from another Christian that the devil tries to use. Keep PTL he hears you.
@donnamealor1155 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question!! You have such a good heart to care and try to help. I feel like somehow, some way, something must not be right for me to struggle so much! Then, every once in a while, I start to pray, and my heart just opens up and i t just pours out, and it feels so good and I am so happy! Then, the next time, it's right back to the same prayer! I know you are right about the devil, but I apparently can't shake him! I have even told them to leave me in the name of Jesus, to get out! But next then there they are again! I just want to feel right with God any know he is proud of me! But really, thank you so very much because you have helped me, and May God Bless you sweet lady!! Sincerely Marylou🙏❤️
Mary has nothing to do with salvation or anything else. She served her purpose and had kids after Jesus like any other human woman. Mary is not my mother. When Jesus saved me Mary was nowhere around. She was not born sinless as the catholic church teaches.
Wording the Scripture “Hail Mary from Luke is not worship! Repetitive prayer is not right, but meditating on the Passion of Christ is not wrong! Oh God do help the Body of Christ to be united in mind , Spirit and Truth?
Hello from Melbourne Australia, thank you Tiff I learn so much from your RUclips channel I’m catholic and have learnt more from you than from years in catholic school. Thank you, blessings always Mary K.
Mary is in the grave with the rest of us, asleep as Jesus says, waiting for Jesus to return to resurrect his saints to live forever in his Kingdom on earth.
obviously my first message was not included! Asking Mary the mother of the man “ Christ Jesus, is not worship! It is Spirit and truth within the Body of Christ! I would rather ask God our Father and Jesus who actually is God manifested in the flesh than to ask the saints on bound by the carnal man! Praises be to God in the Highest!!!🙏🙏🙏
Pastor Tiff thank you for this clear explanation about this topic. I always like to follow your bible teachings because it's simple and all based in the bible.
I like this Bible study; only that, when there are questions like these, I suggest less skirting and precisely providing the answer. Thank you for the great work the Lord is using you to do.
Of course it's wrong to pray to Mary... she's dead....alive and well in heaven...but she does not hear your prayers....hello...wake up time...run directly to JESUS...period...full stop...!
...pray TO your Father, who is UNSEEN. - Matthew 6:6 At that time you WON’T need to ask Me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask The Father DIRECTLY, and He will grant your request because you use My name. - John 16:23
On the cross Jesus asked "Who is my mother?" A virgin birth obviously doesn't happen with an Earthly mother. One other thing "Call no man your father but your Father in Heaven."
It's wrong because Mary is dead. She was human just like us. Jesus is a spirit we can only get to God through Jesus Christ. The Bible says: THE DEAD KNOW NOTHING. THEY WILL CEASE FROM LOVE HATE all things will end that pertain to life.
Quoting from Luke, John & Peter is like quoting from trash pulled from trash cans as the New Testament is not written by God. The first three of the 10 commandments state clearly that one is not to worship JC as God.
I'm glad people are discussing this issue without arguing. There are bibles with some differences, but God/Jesus are always the same. Mary was a very special woman, and there has never been another like her in Biblical history. However, God, Jesus, and many other important Godly and Christian people are in the bible. Jesus never meant for his mother being the focal person of a religion. I have other issues with the rules that separate Christian religions. Those are issues the Lord himself must address, and not common Christians. Those are not our concern, just the same as the Jewish population is directly under God.
It is WRONG to pray to anyone BUT The Lord Jesus🙏🙏🙏🙏…Mary was SO blessed and God chose her above ALL women who have ever or ever will live….but she was NOT Devine..she needed His salvation as we ALL do
Thank you very much Pastor Tiff. I learned so much today...your explanation is very biblical..very clear that Mary, the mother of Jesus is not given any authority as a mediatrix bet. God and man. I was raised a catholic. This is really my problem. Always praying to Mary. Now i know the Truth and the Truth sets me free. Thank you Pastor Tiff. God bless your ministry.
Thank you for your very kind and TRUTHFUL answer to this very sensitive issue..You have spoken the Biblical Truth with All the proofs..God Bless you as you continue to show Mercy and compassion for so many who have been told these traditions from birth..Ruth
Is it right to pray to you? Who are you? God?. Jesus said I AM THE WAY, be obedient and follow His way and truth. Satan's agents are humans don't be deceived
Pastor Tiff, just a question. How about the novena prayers and the rosary? Many of the Catholics I know pray those prayers and get their prayers answered. Like, if they ask to be healed, they get healed. Who is answering their prayers? Is it GOD? Or is Satan?
Thanks brother Tiff for your clear-cut teaching and preaching the gospel of God the Father and His Son. It is a great blessing personally for me. May the dear Lord bless your ministry and be He glorified. Amen.
As a catholic we never bring or read bible in our church. We just keep repeating prayers. Vowing and kneeling to different statues and rosary for hours. I started reading bible and taking notes. I am now a new person. Thank you Jesus for coming into my life.

The saints on earth, the captains in the ships and the sailors cried out to the Saints, and Apostles and Prophets in Heaven and actually made a request to them. They were asked to rejoice over the Fall of Babylon.
There is another interesting verse in Revellation 8:5. Where the the saints in heaven were recieving the prayers of the Saints on earth and were passing them on to God. But evangelicals don't usually deal with scriptures that deal with prayers being directed from Saints on Earth through Saints in heaven. If they do deal with verses like this, it is only to deny them and try to explain them away. When I was a Fundamentalist, my religious tradition seemed to trump the meaning of the Words of the Sacred Word. Yet I was taught to belittle other Christians who did take them seriously and form their doctrinal system around what the Scripture said and what the earliest Christians believed. Recently invented doctrines are not usually what the Good Lord prefers.
I hope you see this comment. I was in a convent for 2 years. I had started reading my Bible on my own. My parents said the church forbade me to do so because I can misinterpret it. Then I went to a special church service with my parents right after I left the convent because I couldn’t sign that I believed Popes were infallible when it came to spiritual matters. At the event I received the Holy Spirit and then the priest went up into the pulpit and began to teach on wearing a special necklace with the image of Mary on it and saying the rosary daily. Immediately the Holy Spirit told me to not pray to anyone but to God my Heavenly Father in Jesus’s name! I asked in my mind how this priest could possibly be used of God to bless me and I receive the Holy Spirit then teach such a lie. He said He could use anyone at anytime to perform His plan. Wow!
Tiff,,I prayed the sinners prayer with you.And I know,I am saved. Bless you.
Tiff you may not see this but thank your sir for your honest preaching. I wish every pastor would teach straight out the Bible like this. I enjoy feel good messages but I also want to be humbled I want to know right from wrong everyday. You sir you preach that. I may never meet you but I trust you and your preachings, thank you sir seriosuly thank you for what you do for the lord. May the lord bless you and your family. Thank you and I love you Mr. Tiff
Amen !, Brother Tiff Shuttleworth I am an ex-Roman Catholic coming from the Far East. Your right, 100 percent. PRAISE YESHUA OUR COMING LORD SOON !
Jesus did not tell you to change his name, evil man did, who is deceived by Satan, who fears the powerful name of Jesus which is a Hebrew name not English...Bible clearing tells you that you are not to add or take away even one little dot...The demons tremble at the name Jesus, Jesus is the name above all names, you cannot go to heaven with this man made name yeshua..stop following what some man td you and listen to what God has told you..Repent for your evil sin...
@@joanjarrette8691Yeshua is the Hebrew Name for the Son of God" given by Himself..
the name Jesus is not of any spoken language, but has been adopted by the Greeks and thier own interpretation of the name...
then Christ was added on..Man-Made Name..
Hope God forgives you for unclaiming what he has given
Just yesterday I heard from one of your Bible studies, you was saying like this "when God sees a sincere and hungry heart who desires to know God and His word, He will send somebody to instruct you". and I am astonished by the fact that I'm just starting to pray the Hail Mary rosary's prayer today and then I saw that you've just upload this about Mother Mary the same day.. I don't know what to says.. I'm speechless, thank you lord Jesus for sending someone like you to an unworthy person like me.
Mary is a blessed virgin but like angel's we praise and honor Jesus first. She played the part of the saviors earthly mother.She is to be honored as a precious lady and mother of God.I don't pray to Mary because she didn't save my sins at calvary.
@@cherylross393 there's nothing I can do about it because I was baptised in a Catholic church and I"m reading and only have a Catholic prayer book since I don't do well at spontaneous prayer just yet.
@@cherylross393 o
He is saying to you, put me first. Mary was a beautiful favored woman and probably holds a high place in heaven. I don’t know, but we are not to pray to her ever. It is a sin. our God is a jealous God and we are not ever to go to a human for forgiveness. We can go confess to our brothers and sisters to help us get in alignment with God’s word, but we are never too confess to them or honor them above God.
We Catholics are NOT praying to Mary when resiting the Hail Mary. We are just asking her to pray for us. Same as having people in your Bible Study group to pray for one another.
I Prayed with you today, thank you so much for all your teachings and BIBLE lessons. You are a great teacher and MAN OF GOD.. GOD BLESS YOU❤️🙏
Thank you so much Evangelist Tiff. I am a catholic and I understood everything. Your teachings were loud and clear. God bless you. Only Jesus is our mediator to God not his mother.🙏🙏🙏❤
I'm curious why you still say that you're a Catholic?
So you've never prayed for others???? But God the Father used Mary as mediator to conceive a son!😂
100% right.
@@sulongenjop7436 prayed for others yes, but not to others. So praying to Mary is a waste of time and so is your comment.
@@kevinj2412 Have you ever had anyone request you to pray for someone? That is a better parallel to what happens when we request Mary to pray for us now and at the hour of our death. A prayer can be just a request. It is not always directed to the Deity. Catholics believe Mary is a human, a created being, not a God. And not to be worshiped as a God. That is a grave sin to worship a human as a god or God. Most evangelicals are not taught what Catholics believe. I was taught a lot of lies in Church when I was a Protestant, especially about what Catholics believe. God does not like lies, even if they are used to propagate what we believe to be true.
Thank you Pastor Tiff for your teaching. I hope all the Catholics are listening and are learning something.
I was thinking about praying to Mary for intercession until I saw this video. Thanks, Tiff. Christ is Lord and King.
I was and evangelical for the first 50 years of my life. And one of the things that compelled me to leave that tradition was the dishonest way they dealt with intercession. They like to quote from I Tim 2:4......"There is but one Mediator between God and man..." I was taught to use that verse to prove Catholics were wrong on intercession, but let us look at the end of the verse. Compare the shortened phrase quoted by the Evangelicals "There is but one Mediator between God and man" with the important way the Scripture presents it. "There is but one Mediator between God and man......who gave his life as a ransom for all.."
St Paul says there is but one great Mediator who gave his life as a ransom for all. But not in vs 2....just a few verses above that vs 4, Paul not only allows humans to make intercessions to God for others. He actually "urges" us to do that. Beware of smooth sounding speakers who do not present the Word of God honestly. They will fool you sometimes. The Bible does contain examples of Saints on Earth making requests to Saints in heaven, but you are unlikely to hear them mentioned in a so called "Bible Church." Revelation 18:20 records that some Saints on Earth....the captain and the sailors actually made requests to Saints in Heaven (these were Apostles, Prophets and Saints). The Saints on earth had a request for Saints in heaven.....that they rejoice over the Fall of Babylon. O.T. Jews also prayed to the departed Saints. And in Revelation 8:5, it is recorded that Saints in Heaved (the Elders) received the prayers of the Saints on Earth and apparently passed them on to God.
The Traditions of the Catholic Church are the oldest traditions and they are Biblical Traditions. Beware of those who select scriptures and leave out important parts of verse, or who just cherry pick the verses that seem to support their doctrinal traditions and ignore Scriptures that teach against their favorite beliefs.
God bless you on your journey to discover the true Historic Christianity. Don't settle for a recently invented revised version of Christianity.
You can pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary … Our Lady of Fatima
@@williamca7067 You could, but understand the answered prayer comes from GOD not Mary.
@@mikeabbot4616 you can pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary … the Blessed mother brings you to Jesus … I am a Roman Catholic. I went 12 years to Roman Catholic school … I said from the start Our Lady Of Fatima … all true and documented She appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal … she made predictions. World War I would come to an end. World War II was going to happen … what was significant about that apparition in 1917 was the Miracle of The Sun google it there was eyewitnesses documentary all true there was even a movie based upon this apparition
Yes is wrong to pray to anyone except God
Tiff, I prayed with you today and was sincere.
All prayers to our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ the only Mediator between Man and God
To our only one True God be Glory and honor and praises
Thank you pastor for this precious message. I can now share this with my catholic siblings and friends.
Catholics pray the rosary to ask mary to intervene for them to get permission from Jesus to forgive their sins.
They use mary as the middle person to get to Jesus.
Thats not what Jesus said.
WORSHIP THE LORD GOD AND Serve only The Lord God.
Amen and thank you for your wonderful teaching with all the relevant verses🙏
Tiff l preyed the sinners prayer with you today and l have been blessed by your message. Thanl you and may God bless you.
@nocellecaleb3398, I pray that you go on to know the Lord Jesus in the beauty of holiness. And that you will be born again of the water And the Spirit as Jesus told Nicodemus and as Peter preached to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sin and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38.
"prayed" The term you use is what a predator does
You are my main pastor when it comes to studying the Bible
THE WORD OF GOD IS THE STANDARD FOR MY LIFE.
I wonder why Pastor Tiff gave that disclaimer about divisiveness, etc. Yes there are some things that might be a bit hard to understand in the Bible, but nowhere does it say we should pray to Marry, as in that just makes absolutely no sense, we have Jesus, and Jesus is a direct line to God, why would folks even come up with an idea to pray to Marry? We dont pray to Mosses, we dont pray to Noah, Isaiah, etc
Thank You Jesus for giving us the privilege to come to the Father in Prayer 🙏❤
While she is the most blessed of all women from the beginning of time, there are many scriptures in the Bible that support against praying to Mary as a deceased person. Jesus, her son, prayed to His Father in Heaven and He taught us how to pray. Not once did he mention her. It has never crossed my mind to pray/speak with my earthly father whom I love, respected and miss since he passed away when I was a child. Why would I pray/communicate with a person who is no longer alive when I have been given the gift, through Jesus Christ, to speak directly to the One, True, Almighty, Living God? The Bible actually tells us, in about 100 passages, not to speak to the dead. Jesus Christ and He only, is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one goes to the Father but through Him.
I truly rejoiced reading your comment, blessings ✝️🕊️💟
not really. read Judges 5:24, where Jael is named the most blessed among women....
@@Lauren-vd4qe > Old Testament.
I thank so much Mr. Tiff so many people are blind to the fact that they don't pray to Mary and all the saints. Iam so glad for that study so I can bring it to people attention
@@jancrowley4896 they DO pray to her
Thank you for your teaching on this. I was raised Catholic, but left the Catholic Church years ago.
I was raised to pray the Rosary all the time. But one day in my kitchen as I prayed the Rosary I had a visitation from JESUS. I felt Jesus fill the kitchen, and in fact HE was so large I had a vision that the ceiling opened up because Jesus was too large to be contained in the kitchen. I silently got out of my chair and lay face down on the floor. I didn't move or speak during my visitation from JESUS! I believe Jesus was trying to tell me that HE is more important than his Mother. I believe HE was trying to show me to pray to him.
❤
I needed this message of yours tonight, because my family still says the Rosary, and sometimes I've wondered if I shouldn't do this also sometimes. So this is clear truth, and reminds me of that MOST WONDERFUL DAY WITH JESUS. So, no more Rosary for me.
Lovely
Good for you. The rosary is a trinket from satan.
@@JohnSmith-cf4gn The first half of the Rosary is directly from the Gospels.....Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of they womb, Jesus.
The second half is not directly from Scripture, but the conclusions of the Church regarding who the Christ was. In the early Church, some believed that Jesus was a created being. Some Scriptures could be understood that way. He is said to be "the firstborn of all Creation." Another place it says Jesus was the "only begotten Son of God." Taken alone these seem to support a Jesus that had a beginning. But the Church rejected that wrong view of Scripture. There are so many scriptures that say Jesus is God. The second half of the Rosary was likely written after the Church began to rebuke the false teaching that Jesus was just a Man, or the belief that Jesus "became the Son of God" by living a perfect life. Jesus was God from before he came to earth, the was God in the womb of Mary, and he is God forever. That Jesus being carried by the Blessed Mother Mary was actually God while in the womb. So the Church is proud to proclaim the Son of Mary truly is God. Thus the second half of the Rosary...... Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. "Holy" in scripture means set apart for the service of God. Mary certainly was that. And St James wrote that the "fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much." Paul in I Tim not only allows for us to pray for others, but he "urges" it.
The Rosary is Truly a Biblical prayer that stresses the Deity of Christ, even before he was born. Many Protestants today believe that Christ was not divine when he was in the womb. He was not really divine until he lived a righteous life and was accepted as God's Son. This heresy is called an "Adoptionist Christology." We must stay away from teachings that deny that Christ was not God through all eternity past.
I wish you would teach on Catholic's going into a box and confessing their sins to man
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of m $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..
Hello!! how do you make such monthly, I’m a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God
Hi that's good you have idea &share to those who deserve it that's great god bless🙏🙏
I've always wanted to be involved for a long time but the volatility in the price has been very confusing to me. Although I have watched a lot of RUclips videos about it but I still find it hard to understand
So nice to see Christy Fiore talked about here, her good works are speaking already, and like wildfire she's spreading.
Hallelujah! God still works wonders, I place myself in position for such miracles and testimonies 🙏
I wish the Holy Spirit woukd show the Catholics who we should pray to..Thanku Evangelist.. I always enjoy your teachings.. especially that u always start with prayer ..end in prayer..and that youbteach us with love..God bless you.❤❤❤.. Im listening fro Swaziland
Thank you Pastor Tiff. I found you first on the Internet. I also found some other pastors on RUclips. However, I keep coming back to you for my teachings. I wish that I was closer to you so that I could listen to your preaching in person. You will never know how much you have helped me and many others in our search for God and Jesus. Thanks again. Please keep making RUclips videos so that many more will come to God.
I Prayed with you and Lord Jesus Christ is my Savior ! I enjoy listening to you! Im Lutheran and in our denomination we dont pray to saints or Mother Mary ! My Dad always said that you only pray to our Father in Heaven in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ , and this is how Ive been praying all my life! I'm always watching your pod cast!!! Its always interesting!
Yes there is wrong to pray through mother mary
1 Tim 2:5
I prayed the prayer of salvation
Which part of Scripture did you find the words of the "prayer of salvation?"
Excellent teaching straight from the bible, the words of God. We used to recite the Hail Mary when I was in a convent school. We have to bring this knowledge to our loved ones and friends. My sister still pray the rosary as well. Thank you, brother Tiff. God bless you.❤🙏🙏✝️
so have you shown your sister the Bible verses that instruct us NOT to pray or honor anyone except Christ? ie 1 Tim 2:5?? ONE mediator??? which is NOT mary?
@@Lauren-vd4qe
I have told her not to pray to Mary, rosary etc. Have sent her many bible verses but can’t remember 1 Timothy 2:5. Thanks for bringing this bible verse to me. I have told her about being born again and 1 Timothy 1:7 because she has a lot of fear. Thank you and God bless you.❤️🙏🙏
@@suzanne9345 and what was her response? usually when u tell them dont pray to mary or do the bead thing, they say oh we dont pray to her we just honor her, etc and they DONT SEE that its a deception deviance from the devil to turn pples focus OFF Christ and put the emphasis focus on someone/something else....
Yes it is as I believe as prayer should have to be directed to God and in the name of Jesus As the savior that God send to earth to save mankind from the course of death from God for human disobeying God for eating the forbidden fruit. The book of Romans said death comes from our first parents that is Adam and Eve. The second Adam that is Jesus is a spirit that will give us life. As Jesus said thus who believed and do his will cannot die and thus who died will rise again. It means that Jesus being a man also experienced death but death cannot hold him as he have risen and defeated death. It is only Jesus that will come again to raise us again from death to join God's presence in heaven. Mary the mo ther of Jesus is just human that needs also salvation. This is the message of the Bible that we have to understand.
The mother Mary is not deity. Just as a catholic oriest cannot absolve you for sin, this is done by the grace of God, not man.
Can you please speak about Peter being the rock upon which the church was built and the idea that he was the first pope.
Above comment. You would hate his answer. Peter NOT but Christ the rock. Peter never I 4one but in babloyn. And NOT NOT first pope.
@@margaretrobinson-sn2nb
Actually, I love your answer. I have a few friends who believe Peter started the church and was the first pope. I
share videos that teach truth. Tiff does an excellent job explaining scripture.
Christ is clearly the Rock in the context of that Scripture. And Matthew 8:14,15. Yes, and Peter was married, not pope number 1, and had a "mother in law" who was sick and Jesus healed her and she then served Him@@sueporter6685
Amen Paster Tiff. You make it so easy to get to know our bible and to pray. Thankyou Jesus for people like our brother Tiff bless him abundantly to reach more people. Amen ❤
I love Friday because I know I will be able to listen to a new teaching.. he always teaches the Bible all the way through his teaching and such a great communicator.. love his archive videos to… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tiff I prayed with you today. My sister is a Catholic and I have been telling her for years that Mary isn't the one she is supposed to pray to, it is only the Father in the name of Jesus. She understands that and she has not been using her rosary and only been praying to the Father, in the name of Jesus. Thank you for confirming that for me. Thank you and God Bless for all you do.
Yes. She was just a normal human being blessed by God and chosen to be the vehicle to perform her destiny to bring God in human form into this world
Well said. The God-man Jesus Christ is truly the Son of God and son of man(Mary's ministry fulfilled) and He is the only Way Holy God and sinful mankind can get back together after The Fall, for all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. Forgiveness is a Person, He alone is the Resurrection and the Life. God Bless.
thank you for saying it. I was raised catholic - thank God I am now aware of the false doctrines they teach. Not only should we not pray to Mary or saints but they teach that she was assumed into heaven - there is no biblical record of this, it is totally "made up". She is the vessel God used to bring Jesus into the world in human form. That's all. She is not sinless, she was not assumed into heaven and we definitely shouldn't pray to her or any other saint. The bible is clear - all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Yet the catholic hierarchy teaches she was sinless - this is blasphemous to make a human on equal footing with God. Outrageous. It's a shame so many catholics just blindly follow without checking the bible to see if these things are true.
Tiff this was the most complete and respectful explanation of praying to Mary. Excellent!
I was saved out of Catholicism at the age of 22. My cousin brought the truth of Salvation to me.
I’m saving your message to use in the future for witnessing to Catholics.
God bless you.
Prudy D.
Thank you for this answer. My brother married a devout Catholic. My brother and I were raised in the Baptist Church. I changed over to a non-denominational church about 30 yrs ago and have never talked to my brother about some of the Catholic doctrine. This was one of my doubts, but my biggest problem was the confession of sins to a priest. I believe we confess our sins to God and he forgives us and erases the sin. I haven't come across anything in the Bible that would indicate confessing our sins to a priest. Can you answer that question? With the times we are living in now, I feel the need to speak to him. I don't believe he ever converted to Catholicism. I don't know where he is with the Lord and worried about his relationship with the Lord. Thank you for any information you can share.
@@PattyAlexander-td6tw We are always told to pray to the Father asking it in Jesus name. We are forbidden to pray to idols or any other man made version of God. When we confess our sins to God, He is faithful to forgive us of our sin. The blood of Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. There is nothing that can replace that or be above it.
The Catholics call their priests, “ father “, when the Bible openly tells us to call no man father but our Heavenly Father.
When you speak to your brother, avoid criticism of the Catholic Church. Stay on the subject of forgiveness through Jesus. Don’t argue about their saints, or customs. Stick to the Gospel message of Christ and Salvation.
“ Go out into the world and spread the Gospel message.” Is our command from God. Not arguing or forceful demands on unbelievers. Show your brother that you love and respect his views, but can’t find foundation for them in the Bible.
Trust in the Lord on this. Jesus said nothing will be able to snatch those God gave to Him, out of His hand. God in His foreknowledge has already chosen those who will believe in Him. Just live a Christian life before him and others. Importantly, read your Bible daily to get the truth on what you need to know. You will grow and be richer for it. You will also have more peace.
Prudy 🙏🏻😇
Tiff now i know Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through him…
you are.BIASED...you dont have problem in celebrating Christmas😮😮!!
Catholic Dont pray to Mary they ask Mary to ask her son Jesus Christ to help and have mercy on us.
We ask Blessed Mary to intercede just as she did at the wedding at Cana
Dear friend. Please ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding of what this Pastor just explained. It is pure scripture.
Yes. Just pray to Jesus.
All prayers go to our Lord and Savior. He is the living word, that became flesh. Read John 14:6 🎚️🙏🎚️🙏🎚️🙏🎚️🙏
Yes it is wrong to pray to Mary. There is ONE mediator between man and God. It’s the person of Jesus Christ!
Yes, Jesus Christ is the only mediator between man and God.
I don't think Catholic Church prays to Mother Mary; but asking her to pray for us to the Lord🎉
Yes it isworng
Perfect and on point teaching
Evangelist Tiff about this subject and all Bible based answers
my heart is for the Catholic people especially i have a lot of friends at work, my brithers wife and family are all come away from Catholics and got saved and born again into the family of God ..
so grateful for this teaching Pastor Tiff S
God must be glorified Amen

I feel as if God does not accept me! My biggest problem is I DO NOT know how to pray at all!! This keeps me from praying because I'm ashamed! Today, you said it does no good at all, nor does God want us to repeat a prayer! If I am saved, why can't I pray!?? Please help me with this problem that weighs so very heavy on my heart!
I am 76 years old, and I am quickly running out of time
Thank you, kind Sir!!
Sincerely,
Marylou 🙏❤️
@tenderheart I know I'm not the pastor and I'm not the 1 you asked. But that's the enemy trying to tell you lies about praying, God definitely wants his children to pray and talk to him. He wants a relationship with us. I feel the same as you sometimes but I know that is the enemy talking. Please don't be ashamed to pray to our Father talk to him as you would your best friend cause that's what he is. You absolutely can pray God knows your heart. Listen again to some of Pastor Tiff preaching on this subject. God so wants to hear from us. Praise him for who he is and what he's done. And give him your trouble he doesn't want us to carry that. Im 62 and pray to God all the time. Sometimes I just sing praises to him. And even though he knows I tell him how much I love him and praise his name. Praying for you. Just sending this to you from another Christian that the devil tries to use. Keep PTL he hears you.
@donnamealor1155 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my question!! You have such a good heart to care and try to help.
I feel like somehow, some way, something must not be right for me to struggle so much! Then, every once in a while, I start to pray, and my heart just opens up and i t just pours out, and it feels so good and I am so happy! Then, the next time, it's right back to the same prayer! I know you are right about the devil, but I apparently can't shake him! I have even told them to leave me in the name of Jesus, to get out! But next then there they are again! I just want to feel right with God any know he is proud of me!
But really, thank you so very much because you have helped me, and May God Bless you sweet lady!!
Sincerely
Marylou🙏❤️
Today I prayed the sinner's prayer.
Thankyou pastor jesus is our only way to God through prayer 🙏
YES, only Jesus Christ provides salvation, not Mother Mary. Could you show me a scripture that says overwise?
Absolutely 💯 wrong & by the way, Roman Catholism is NOT Christian!
Praise The Lord 🙌🏻 Bro. Tiff you have preached it! In Truth and in the love of Christ! She was chosen by Christ alone amen 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Mary has nothing to do with salvation or anything else. She served her purpose and had kids after Jesus like any other human woman. Mary is not my mother. When Jesus saved me Mary was nowhere around. She was not born sinless as the catholic church teaches.
Amen! True teaching from the word of God! Praise lord amen
In a word, yes, it is wrong. We are not to talk to the dead, period. It’s also idolatry. We pray to God, in Jesus name only.
I prayed with you today tiff with all my heart ❤️
Wording the Scripture “Hail Mary from Luke is not worship! Repetitive prayer is not right, but meditating on the Passion of Christ is not wrong! Oh God do help the Body of Christ to be united in mind , Spirit and Truth?
Thanks for teaching
Thou shall have no other gods! We are to worship only our Creator, our Father God
Through Jesus CHRIST, GOD's only begotten SON.
Hello from Melbourne Australia, thank you Tiff I learn so much from your RUclips channel I’m catholic and have learnt more from you than from years in catholic school. Thank you, blessings always Mary K.
Mary is in the grave with the rest of us, asleep as Jesus says, waiting for Jesus to return to resurrect his saints to live forever in his Kingdom on earth.
TODAY I PRAYED WITH YOU AMEN.
obviously my first message was not included! Asking Mary the mother of the man “ Christ Jesus, is not worship! It is Spirit and truth within the Body of Christ! I would rather ask God our Father and Jesus who actually is God manifested in the flesh than to ask the saints on bound by the carnal man! Praises be to God in the Highest!!!🙏🙏🙏
Only Jesus
As always so beautifully explained 🙏🏼🙏🏼🩷
Absolutely ir Wrong.
Absolutely
Mary is mere human
Prayers are to God only in Jesus name.
Pastor Tiff thank you for this clear explanation about this topic. I always like to follow your bible teachings because it's simple and all based in the bible.
God bless you for your clear teaching from God’s Word!🙏👍
Amen, God’s Word is all TRUTH 🙌🙏❤️
I like this Bible study; only that, when there are questions like these, I suggest less skirting and precisely providing the answer. Thank you for the great work the Lord is using you to do.
A great explanation Pastor Tiff
Love your teachings ❤
Thank you for being honest. Hearing the truth, repent, and respond
Tiff I thank for teachings....
Very well spoken Tiff. Thank you for your words and the sacred words from the Good Book of God.
Very clear, concise, to the point. With compassion to those needing this message.
Thank you
Of course it's wrong to pray to Mary... she's dead....alive and well in heaven...but she does not hear your prayers....hello...wake up time...run directly to JESUS...period...full stop...!
Can we confess to god directly?
OF course we all will stand before The Lord alone
Thanku Tiff,God bless & keep u so u will continue to open the Word of God to us & teach us the truth that is in His word alone
...pray TO your Father, who is UNSEEN.
- Matthew 6:6
At that time you WON’T need to ask Me for anything.
I tell you the truth, you will ask The Father DIRECTLY,
and He will grant your request because you use My name.
- John 16:23
On the cross Jesus asked "Who is my mother?" A virgin birth obviously doesn't happen with an Earthly mother. One other thing "Call no man your father but your Father in Heaven."
It's wrong because Mary is dead. She was human just like us. Jesus is a spirit we can only get to God through Jesus Christ. The Bible says: THE DEAD KNOW NOTHING. THEY WILL CEASE FROM LOVE HATE all things will end that pertain to life.
Quoting from Luke, John & Peter is like quoting from trash pulled from trash cans as the New Testament is not written by God. The first three of the 10 commandments state clearly that one is not to worship JC as God.
Read Matthew 6..The apostles zsked how to pray.Jesus said we pray to our Father...Not Jesus...not
Mary...only to our Father.
I'm glad people are discussing this issue without arguing. There are bibles with some differences, but God/Jesus are always the same. Mary was a very special woman, and there has never been another like her in Biblical history. However, God, Jesus, and many other important Godly and Christian people are in the bible. Jesus never meant for his mother being the focal person of a religion. I have other issues with the rules that separate Christian religions. Those are issues the Lord himself must address, and not common Christians. Those are not our concern, just the same as the Jewish population is directly under God.
If you pray to Mother Mary......she will become an Idol. Only JESUS
It is WRONG to pray to anyone BUT The Lord Jesus🙏🙏🙏🙏…Mary was SO blessed and God chose her above ALL women who have ever or ever will live….but she was NOT Devine..she needed His salvation as we ALL do
Jesus said his Mother ..brother and sisters are those who followed the WILL OF GOD NOT MARY OR HER CHILDREN
Thank you very much Pastor Tiff. I learned so much today...your explanation is very biblical..very clear that Mary, the mother of Jesus is not given any authority as a mediatrix bet. God and man. I was raised a catholic. This is really my problem. Always praying to Mary. Now i know the Truth and the Truth sets me free. Thank you Pastor Tiff. God bless your ministry.
Thank you for your very kind and
TRUTHFUL answer to this very sensitive issue..You have spoken the Biblical Truth with
All the proofs..God Bless you as you continue to show
Mercy and compassion for so many who have been told these traditions from birth..Ruth
Is it right to pray to you? Who are you? God?. Jesus said I AM THE WAY, be obedient and follow His way and truth.
Satan's agents are humans don't be deceived
So glad to be listening today, missed it yesterday.
Pastor Tiff, just a question. How about the novena prayers and the rosary? Many of the Catholics I know pray those prayers and get their prayers answered. Like, if they ask to be healed, they get healed. Who is answering their prayers? Is it GOD? Or is Satan?
Thanks brother Tiff for your clear-cut teaching and preaching the gospel of God the Father and His Son. It is a great blessing personally for me. May the dear Lord bless your ministry and be He glorified. Amen.
Thank you for teaching the word of God.
