If you believe the scriptures aren’t sufficient for salvation then you believe every one of these scriptures is a lie: And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. - Romans 4:5 Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. - Galatians 2:16 And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. - Philippians 3:9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. - Titus 3:5 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6:28 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain-if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith. - Galatians 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. - Romans 10:3
@@JC-li8kk Any contradictions here? Of course not! The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is given to us through God's grace, which lead us to have faith and do good works. Faith and good works and intrinsically related to each other. That's what Jesus teaches us in the Gospels, and more clearly what saint James exhorts us to do: "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17 Let's just see more more biblical examples that the protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura is no biblical: "...Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in..." Matthew, 25:34-40 "...And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give to every one according to his work.” Revelation 22:12. Your attempt to find a confliction and contradiction between saint Paul and saint James is a disaster and only shows how far protestants can go in their heretic doctrines. Now have a look at the following biblical verses and take your conclusions. Can you spot any good works in these verses? "...How does it help, my brothers, when someone who has never done a single good act claims to have faith? Will that faith bring salvation?..." James, 2:14 "...You see now that it is by deeds, and not only by believing, that someone is justified..." James, 2:24 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments."John 14:15 "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works"Heb. 10:24 "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."John 15:8 "The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people."Titus 3:8 "For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do."Heb. 6:10 "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."2 Tim. 3:16-17 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." ... "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."John 15:1-5, 8-11 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."2 Cor. 5:10 "They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."Titus 1:16 "Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:14 "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."James 4:17 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’Matt. 7:21-23 "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Phil. 2:12-13 "So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17 "And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done."Rev. 20:13
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."Col. 1:9-10 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."John 15:16
Small c or C [c]atholic? Roman Catholics focus on Idols of Mary Mother of [G]od and other idols of so called Saints. The Roman Catholics' plan of salvation is not biblical. It is based on works and trying to aid God when he needs no help. The Roman Catholics teach you must earn grace and that you can lose grace.
@@devere1299 it seems to me you know nothing about the Catholic doctrine. In fact, your words are Just repetition of ignorant protestant false accusations. I suggest you read the Cathechism of the Church before writing nonsenses here. The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is through God's Grace. However, faith and good works are intrinsecally connected, and this is very clear in the bible. "Come you who are blessed by my father, take your inheritance..." "...For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...". And it is also very clear in the book of James: "...Faith without good works are dead..." Note: the doctrine of communion and veneration of saints is not only Roman Catholic. It is also adopted by the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches as well. All these Churches are apostolic Churches. As for protestants, they only began to appear in the XVI century. Far beyond the beginning of Christianity...
And also mention in 2 Timothy 4:3 " For the Time Will come when men Will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they Will gather around them a great number of Teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear". They Will turn their ears away from the TRUTH AND turn aside to myhths."

Do you pray to Mary? She can't help you. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 ESV For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
In the Original Greek in Mark 11:24, Jesus commands His apostles to believe that they already received when they pray. In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days. My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7. Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing. I didn't believe in Faith Healing, I believed: 1) God is Sovereign 2) God is all Powerful 3) God is in Control 4) God can do whatever He wants 5) God has a purpose a plan and a time for everything 6) God knows what you are suffering. 7) In His time He will heal you. Mark 6:5-6 and James 1:5-7 completely changed what I believed. In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal but could not because of their unbelief. James 1:5-7 shows not to think that you will receive if you doubt. How can you believe when the church is telling you that God does not heal today? You cannot. 1 Timothy 2:5, " For there is one mediator between God and Man - the man Christ Jesus." One, not 2 (Not Mary), not many (Praying to saints). John 14:6, "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me." Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Mary has no authority in heaven. Zero. If she did, then James 1:5-7 would be a lie. James 1:5-7 and Mark 6:5-6 upended my false beliefs that God could do anything he wants. In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal, but COULD not because of their unbelief. Matthew 6:7 says to not pray with vain repetitions. Saying the rosary is vain. My Aunt said that she prayed to Mary for 60 years and where did it get her? With tears in her eyes she said 22 operations and now she does not believe in God. She said, "I had my first operation at age 22." John 16:23 says to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. To pray some other way is unbelief, rebellion, and yes, inspired of the enemy. I was so Catholic and I heard so much criticism from my Christian friends that I decided to do my own survey. I asked many Catholics if they believed that Jesus died for their sins. God is my witness, many said, “No, I believe in the Virgin of Guadalupe, she appears to the poor and she loves the poor.” Startled, I questioned them again and they told me the same thing. My mother had an uncle in the Catholic Church who was a bishop and they know better. They should not let people go to hell for idolatry. They should teach the truth. If the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared, then it must be the devil because II Corinthians 11:14 says so. It is the only verse that covers the topic. Don;t be deceived.

@@shan-i9179 Praying the prayers in Ephesians 1:16-23 and Ephesians 3:14-21 for oneself is like getting a doctorate in Theology! My Eyes were open after I prayed these prayers. Try it. I guarantee that God will give you insight that you never had before. I have prayed the prayers in Ephesians for myself, relatives and ministers and I have seen improvements in all within weeks. The "Our Father" was given to Jewish men under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant was not instituted until after the Resurrection according to the Book of Hebrews. The Prayers in Ephesians were prayed by Paul for Believers in the New Covenant. Having grown up Catholic, I initially rejected this, but after praying the Prayers in Ephesians for 6 months for myself, my spiritual eyes were open. The Our Father does not have: 1. The Name of Jesus 2. The Power of the Holy Spirit within 3. Christ as the head of the Church. 4. The Church as the Body of Christ 5. Revelation and Wisdom for Believers 6. Faith and Love within the Believer 7. Spiritual Growth 8. God Working inside us. 9. Spiritual Understanding 10. Authority over the devil in the name of Jesus. 11. God revealing your calling. My Eyes were open after I prayed these prayers. Try it. I guarantee that God will give you insight that you never had before.
@@MrAlanKendalleven though im not good in English but at least i can tell you that the Catholic church teachings and the cathechism brought me out of drugs, out of fake holy spirit, fake speaking in tounges. and pretending miracles, and false testimony.i find it hard to believe how you prayed the rosary? I pray the rosary believing that mary can ask his beloved for my sake like in cana at the wedding, and I get blessing's because of respecting the blessed virgin believing that she is full of grace. My friend you cannot be a Christian because of bible alone, or bible verse alone, that was the problem of Martin Luther and that is very wrong. Many protestants and born again have made Christianity hard in islamic countries why ? because muslims sees them has people doing business they claim to heal,to give life to the dead which is like comedy they have never gone to hospital and make those miracles or mortuary to raise the dead. So to me catholism is the best we pray to mary not because she is God but because she is close to him she is filled with the holy spirit. If you moved from the church then its because you didn't give time to your self learning catholism and understanding the Church history.
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written. - John 21:25 -
As long as we are talking about what is not in the Bible, pope, purgatory, praying to the dead, catholic, an earthly “Holy Father” I could go on but I’m not trying to make anybody mad. The catholic church itself recognizes the Bible as the Holy, inerrant, inspired word of God. The Bible says scripture contains everything we need. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
The Bible was completed around 300 years after Christ died and rose from the dead. In between, the early Christians adhered mostly to the Torah, the Deuteronicals, and Apostolic Tradition.

When the thief was on the cross and asked Jesus for mercy what did Jesus say to him? Keep in mind the thief did not have time to get baptized with water or receive sacraments or do penance or say Hail Mary’s or our fathers. He was a sinner and in need of a Savior. What did Jesus say to him again? He said this day!! He said again this day you shall be with me in paradise!!! He did not say someday son after you served your time in purgatory. I rest my case
Christ hadn’t died yet, so he didn’t have to be baptized. Boom. Jesus literally commanded us to be baptized. He was still under the Old Law. We are bound by the Sacraments. God is not. Baptism washes away the stain of original sin. Baptism isn’t some “Optional, outward showing of an inward faith” as Brother Jim might tell you. I was Protestant for 15 YRS.

Hello, I was raised Catholic all my life and attended mass but I always felt empty and wondered why God couldn't speak to me like He did to other people in the Bible. So I started to study the Bible and pray asking God to guide me. And I came to find the truth from God and that is only Jesus Christ is the only way to God. There is no such thing as Mary's intercessions or saints, purgatory or confession to priests. If you are searching for truth with your honest heart allow God to lead you and not man, because man errors many times Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jesus said, God is spirit and true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. Let the Lord lead you. John 4:23 Love in Christ. :)
@Antonio Gomez Hello Antonio Jesus said, go into all the world and preach the gospel. The gospel is simply that He came to seek and save the lost. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. Love in Christ :)
Mass felt empty for you? I assume you went to Novus Ordo mass where they spoke in English? You should check out a Traditional Latin Mass or a Catholic Orthodox mass. It really expresses the beauty that the church has to offer and had offered for over 1900 years until the 2nd Vatican Council. God be with you.

How can one person interpret for me the bible without me getting involved? It's like saying the government will make amendments and set laws for the people to follow just because everyone cannot participate. This is SHIT. For the sake of the bible, everyone needs to interpret it and one whose points are clear and make more sense will get the majority support on what is right or wrong from the bible. Giving all powers to a small group of people to decide for the majority will mislead. Interprete it in your own way, Present your points and arguments to the people then one with the majority votes will decide but NEVER give powers to a group of people without participating. You don't just sit back.

Missing the forest for the trees. There's nothing wrong with doctrines and traditions.... If they don't contradict the gospel of course, that's where the Roman Catholic Church fails. When we say "that is not biblical" it means that the doctrine you're teaching contradicts the gospel. The main one is how we get salvation. The bible clearly states that we get save by grace through faith. Is clearly stated that if is its by works grace is no longer grace. Catholism waters down the sacrifice of Jesus and what that sacrifice accomplish to the point of blasphemy.
Red Falcon -exactly, it is our faith in Christ alone that saves us... many other doctrines conflict this by adding works as a means of salvation which would mean Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross was insufficient. -Romans 10:9-10 (ESV) “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” -Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV) “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

Mullet Mayhem TRADITION and TRUTH In Colossians 2, Paul tells us to “see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Tradition never outranks truth. Sure, some may call a certain view “Christian tradition” or certain idea a Christian “principle” or “rule.” But we should not worship at the feet of traditions, principles, or rules. Instead, we worship Jesus, who is the truth. We don’t need principles. We need the person of Christ. Christianity is not about rules. It’s about letting Christ rule. We should not be suckers for the sales pitch of tradition when it clashes with the simple message of the cross and the resurrection. Don’t ever buy the idea that a belief is correct just because it’s old. We are as capable today of understanding God’s Word and of being taught by the Holy Spirit as anyone else in history, including the early church fathers. How we are taught? By submitting to God’s Spirit and asking Him to teach us. We don’t need “ism.” We don’t need to follow along denominational lines. We don’t need to worry about being labeled or categorized as part of a movement. We simply need the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to the finished work of the cross, the power of resurrection, and what it means for us to walk in newness of life. 🙏❤️
The Supreme Court analogy is actually the best argument against the Magesterium. We can look at the Constitution and it is obvious there is no such "right to privacy" and this was invented by the court to allow the murder of babies on the womb. Look at the horrid Dred Scott decision, and more. Instead, one with a conscience can look at the constitution and see how those decisions were great perversions, and live against them, lobbying for there to be a correction, just like the Reformers of the Reformation did with the Scriptures and the state of the Church at that time.

1:14 I agree with you on that, catholics need to spend more time reading the bible themselves. I I was born and raised catholic. I attended the mass recited chapelets made all.my sacraments. But I can say grew up so much spiritually spending maximum 15 minutes a day in the bible, I begun by the new testament...I grew up much more doing this these last 5 years than in the rest of my life and I am 42 now. You get the truth, a better understanding of God's law and it becomes easier to accept God's directions on our lives. Honestly I recited so many chapelets in the last 20 years... it didnt bring me no more revelation on God than what I knew already, but everytime I read the bible I grow up spiritually. I find that catholics underestimate the bible that they say they gathered themselves. I discovered the beauty of the bible by actually reading it by myself. It is a whole other experience than listening to small excerpts during the mass.
@@Kopie0830 Did you know that Jesus use repetive prayers in Garden of Getsemene... Do you think it is not long? Because he prayed there for hours repeating the same words... ALSO in revelation 4:8 , " Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
@@noelalmirante8982 Where in scripture does it say what you claim regarding the garden? This is the interpretation of Revelation 4:8 John describes each of the four living creatures as having six wings. His description is reminiscent of Isaiah' description of the seraphim he saw above God's throne (Isaiah 6:2-3). Probably the living creatures, like the seraphim, use two wings to cover the face, two to cover the feet, and two to fly. The living creatures possess multiple eyes, emphasizing their guard duty. Also, they praise God day and night. They sing about God's holiness. Perhaps their threefold repetition of His holiness is intended to extol the holiness of each of the three persons of the Trinity. The Bible refers to the Father as holy (John 17:11), to the Son as holy (Luke 1:35), and to the Spirit as holy (Ephesians 4:30). The living creatures' song of praise also extols God as eternal. They refer to Him as "who was and is and is to come." We, too, ought to praise God for His absolute holiness and eternal existence. There is a distinct difference between vain repetition (rosary) and authentic worship.
@@nightshade99 Did you not know Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane repeating the same words to God the Father... in Matthew 26:36-56. He prayed there for 3 hours... and he is repeating his prayers using same words to God.... NOT just the word HOLY, " BUT these words “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’[a] who was, and is, and is to come.” DAY AND NIGHT.... read Revelation 4:8 again
I am a Catholic and I worship Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. I was raised in a Catholic family from I was born. Catholic church never taught me to worship statues of Mary or Saints. We honor and love Mother Mary because she is Jesus mother who accompany His son till the end of Jesus life on the cross. We highly worship Jesus, many our special prayers and novena to worship Jesus and Holy spirit, some prayers were came from our Saints when they devote their life to Jesus. Please give some time to join our devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus on first friday, you'll see we how much we love Jesus in the highest ❤️❤️❤️
@@maryanne1296 it's the way to honour the memory of Jesus, Mary and Saints, sometime we pray in front of the statue as to pull back our memory about Jesus or Mother Mary and then we start the prayer aimed at Jesus or Mother Mary directly in our hearts. Statue just like a picture of the one who love who we put at our laptop background or android background to remember and to love the person
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." -II Peter 1:20-21
Our elders and Bible teacher expound on the scriptures. However, we do have to answer questions on a questionsheet in the discussion group class in person and online at present. We look up the answers ourselves during the week so we do have to make private interpretations on the Bible at times. Our Bible teacher is a facilitator not a person with the only opinion on scripture though he does add his opinion based on scripture sometimes. He realizes he is not perfect nor infallible. We often read through the verses mentioned at Chudh on Sundays also and can ask questions by email or text if necessary. However, we do read the scripture for ourselves a chapter at a time every or most nights. We are all part of the royal priesthood in the order of Melchezidech forever. Naturally we need godly men to help and guide us to understand scripture, but we are also to search the scriptures with a concordance or study tools for ourselves. We are going through 3 different books a portion at a time with three different preachers at Church on Sundays Matthew, Samuel and James.
There’s no private interpretation when you have the Holy Spirit as you actually live the Scripture. You become a witness of the Word. There’s no passivity when you’re a born again Christian.
1 Corinthians 15:1 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1 Corinthians 15:3 - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15:4 - And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Acts 16:30 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved? Acts 16:31 - And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy House. Hebrews 10:14 - “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Once saved always saved.
Thanks for the video. I am a Protestant & respect Catholics as brothers and sisters in Christ! Grew up catholic and my mother is still a practicing one. Just wanted to say some things! You left out some important parts. Luther developed the idea “sola scriptura” (and other ideas in his theses) on the basis of perverse power the Catholic Church held over its people. For example. getting them to pay their loved ones out of purgatory, the pope withholding salvation from people, etc. This is why scripture is important. Because if we don’t “test everything” like Paul says in 1 Thess. 5, we develop ideas we believe are truth when they are not. The books that “should” belong in the Bible have been debated for centuries. I trust in the 66 books Luther Reformed because either way, it all points to the gospel. (Which is the most important concept. Period) no one asked, but here is why I’m no longer catholic. * I am not convinced the Pope is the direct descendant of Peter. With that being said, the gates of hell have not prevailed over the church and won’t ever. (Matthew 16) * Catholics killed people who translated the original Latin to other languages. If it weren’t for reformed theologians, we would not have the Bible in English today. * I will not ask saints or Mary to intercede for me when I can directly go to Jesus or someone on earth I’m actually in relationship with. * I don’t believe in transubstantiation even though the I believe the idea and concept is beautiful. Protestants do not take communion as serious as Catholics. & I love the fact that the body and blood is the center of the church in catholic parishes. Protestants must take notes. * Martin Luther never wanted 40,000 denominations. He actually agreed with Catholicism in the big picture (the gospel) But to say the Catholic Church is the “original” church is ignorant. Paul’s letters date to 90AD where people were not considered “Catholics” but brothers and sisters in Christ. They met in houses and were persecuted. Not in cathedrals which are now tourist attractions. Currently reading “Case for Catholicism” by Trent Horn. I really like his apologetics. I will let him convince me. Your comment trying to on RUclips probably will not. Lol Final thing: I am a missionary. When someone believes in Jesus and cries out to them asking God to save them, We baptize them, give them a Bible, and begin to disciple them. I don’t say, you have to be catholic because it’s right. To do so is not the heart of God to see everyone in the nations confess He is Lord and have true relationship with him. Catholicism is not the only way. Jesus is the way. The gospel is the way. I trust that. Jesus is King.
@@MrKev1664 I know what purgatory is. Read what I wrote. Luther hated the idea of catholics withholding salvation and telling people to buy their loved ones out of purgatory. Hence, the reformation. He agreed with the gospel. But the Catholic Church became a church of power. Never what Jesus intended. I believe we must be perfect like Jesus says, and if purgatory is what does that, then I trust the Father's process. You attack protestants like we are the enemy. There are lukewarm catholics that will end up in hell by just going through the rituals just like there will be lukewarm protestants in hell for the same thing. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Read Hebrews 11. I believe Jesus just like you my friend, our perspectives and interpretations of scripture are different. God knows what we want before we ask, Matthew 6, so I will pray to my father. Jesus literally says, "pray like this" beginning with "our father." I will pray to the God of the universe alone. We take communion. We eat the "body" and the "blood" of Jesus just like you do. Jesus took bread, and he took wine. Do you not see that Jesus used metaphors in his teachings all the time? That is how I interpret it. Catholic Churches were not the original. It became established as a building and use of power in 325 AD. Jesus' apostles were the original church. I am not open to guidance wherever it comes from because men are sinners and in need of Jesus. I will test everything to the Holy spirit and with scripture. I teach Jesus is the only way to the father. I teach Jesus is the way to salvation. Then I give them SCRIPTURE to test everything in life and to hold fast to. A christian group in China who is persecuted for having church needs a doctrine to believe in, and that is Scripture. Not teachings outside of the bible based on feelings. A group in Africa who lives in a muslim country and will be killed for their faith. Do they need the Catholic Church to be saved? NO. They need the gospel. They need Jesus. They need the Father to save them. Their christian community is for support and for edification of the Father and one another. I challenge you to go to a third world country or even to Europe (where 2% profess relationship with Jesus) and tell me that they need a Catholic Church for salvation. Especially in Europe where Catholicism was enormous, and now promotes a post christian culture. These people need Jesus and his word. (sola scriptura) and for the Father to save them. I preach the gospel and the gospel alone. Good day.
MrKev1664 how about this. You stick to trying to promote religion on RUclips and I’ll share the good news of what the father did through Jesus and how the Holy Spirit is alive in us today all over the earth. With the word of God as my foundation. Good day.
MrKev1664 Sure I’ll share the gospel. Maybe you’ve never heard it. God created everything you see. He created man and called it good. We had a perfect relationship with Yahweh. Yet we turned to our own desires, disobeyed God, and became separated from God. We missed the mark of perfection. Therefore, needed a way to be made right before him. In order to be made right with God we needed to obey the laws God provided and live righteously to be with him. But God, in his mercy, sent his only son, who is also God, to pay for our sins and give us a righteousness not our own and not by our own doing. Jesus, his son, died the death we deserve and fulfilled all of the laws and statues God demanded in the early days of his covenant with man. This covenant that God made with man was complete when he sent his son Jesus to die. This Covenant is an invitation to us now. If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe that he was raised back to life, then we will have salvation from our sin and from eternal death and separation from God. We will be made whole. Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin, so that we may become the righteousness of God. God invites us into his original plan of perfection and relationship. But he also invites us to Go and tell all who are separated so that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and God of all. Amen.
MrKev1664 MrKev1664 I’m done arguing with you. Obviously you strive for relationship with Jesus. A relationship that gives up everything like his disciples in Matthew 4. I’ve done that my friend. I gave up everything to follow Jesus. That’s where discipleship comes in. I SHOW people how to live once they accept Christ. If you think I’m preaching a false gospel (which I certainly am not) then pray for me that God reveals the truth. I think we are done here. Gods word is final.
Catholic and Orthodox teaching on Tradition is the same. Tradition in the Orthodox Church Edit For the Orthodox Christian, there is one Tradition, the Tradition of the Church, incorporating the Scriptures and the teaching of the Fathers. As explained by Athanasius of Alexandria, "Let us look at the very tradition, teaching, and faith of the catholic Church from the very beginning, which the Logos gave (edoken), the Apostles preached (ekeryxan), and the Fathers preserved (ephylaxan). Upon this the Church is founded (tethemeliotai)"(St. Athanasius, "First Letter to Serapion", 28)[8] Holy tradition for the Eastern Orthodox is the deposit of faith given by Jesus to the apostles and passed on in the Church from one generation to the next without addition, alteration, or subtraction. Vladimir Lossky described tradition as "the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church."[9] It is dynamic in application yet unchanging in dogma. It is growing in expression yet is always the same in essence. Rather, Orthodox believe tradition is that faith once delivered as understood within the context of lived history. Tradition is a gift of the Holy Spirit, a living experience, which is relived and renewed through time. Fr. Georges Florovsky wrote "Tradition is not a principle striving to restore the past, using the past as a criterion for the present. Such a conception of tradition is rejected by history itself and by the consciousness of the Orthodox Church. Tradition is the constant abiding of the Spirit and not only the memory of words. Tradition is a charismatic, not a historical event". (Florovsky, Georges. "The Catholicity of the Church" in Bible, Church, Tradition, p. 47)[8]
Manuel Faelnar yes they both are the same and they both need to call on Jesus Christ and receive their free gift of forgiveness and salvation Luke 23:34-44 Romans 10:9-13. Everyone who calls on the name of Lord Jesus will be saved Call on Jesus now and be saved
Do you believe Jesus is God? Do you believe Mary is his mother? If so, you've answered your own question! Catholics don't believe Mary to be God the father's months but revere her as God the son's mother and ask her to pray for us in the same way we would ask a friend or family member to pray for us.
@@Diverso3000 Yeah, Mary gave birth to Jesus. Jesus is God in the flesh. Because she gave birth to his flesh doesnt mean anything. Only God omnipresent can hear our prayers. How can you ask mary to pray for you if she's not omnipresent? Brother I respect your doctrine.
@Jesusis Lord Where are the people that operate in the gifts of the holy spirit. in the catholic church? That's how you learn the mysteries of the bible not by history or mans interpretation alone. Watch Sid roth here on youtube. He interviews people that operate in these gift's. This is supposed to happen in all the churches yet it doesn't.
This is just the attitude satan wants you to have. God's path to salvation is narrow and that is believing his son Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Man,(Catholics add their own interpretations) and even this priest says that men wrote the bible. God only allowed them to write what he wanted in the bible and for Catholics to add hoops to jump through is hypocrisy. So keep believing in a feel good religion at your own peril because God is a loving God but he is also a just God.
Mark Trammell God is loving, but also leaves no room for interpretation? It’s all about intention my friend. I believe that Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox people will go to heaven. We are called to believe that Jesus died for us on the cross, and live a godly life with good intentions. I don’t think God is picky about the details (denominational differences), nor do I think it is acceptable to be malicious towards your brothers and sisters in Christ. Or malicious towards anyone period. We are called to peacefully direct people to God, and live by example. He’s also not “just” a God, he’s the Almighty Father, the one and only Lord.
@@johnlowkey359 c’mon, the sooner it was written down, the more likely the passed on information was accurate. (Cross validation between twelve tribes is even better)
I love my Catholic faith. I decided to become Catholic when I was four years old. I chose to be Catholic, and be baptized Catholic. I chose my own Godmother, and I was baptized four days before my fifth birthday. I had to demand my mom, and step dad to grant my wish. My mom is not Catholic she grew up in a church / religion that I have never heard from. My step dad was worse because he didn't believe at all. He got baptized at his last days before dying at a church of Mouth Zion or something like that. Thank you Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to grow up and be a part of your Kingdom. God is Truth. God is the TRUE light
The true believers that Christ is the son of the living God, knows that the God of creation cannot be replaced by anyone on the earth. Not the pope or even the father of lies himself...That old serpent that weakens the nations!!!
Didn't Jesus Trust the 12 disciples to preach!? Then how come you doubt!? Sure Pope is like us, but he tries his best, he may not be perfect but he tries. And God forgives our sins... If God wants he can give someone authority to bless on his behalf! Scriptures teach this!
@Corneilius John Geneva Bible wants to destroy us and Christianity! Does it have any idea? We tend to chose sides, and that's what Geneva Bible has done I guess, But Christianity is nothing where you would chose sides! Because Christianity IS the side! The side of Christ and Salvation.... I am a researcher and I look for things to learn on of such things you mentioned. I need to research it. Now, can you tell me what does Geneva Bible says? And what does it mean? How did it came to the conclusion that the Pope is Satan/Evil/Devil? In what justification? What evidence does it provide for us for what it claims? Is the evidence sufficient? We must be careful! Jesus told us, that we will know them by their fruits! So, Is the evidence convincing? I need the answee of these questions from the Geneva Bible, I don't mean that you give me the answers, but can you point me in the direction? I need clues, sources etc....
@Corneilius John I have done enough research to come to this point that Vatican preserves the teachings good and the documents well, and the Pope is the only line of a person that lead directly to the apostle of Jesus.... Which is very strong..... But other Churces divided themselves from the Universal church, is it good? Sure Catholics have done wrong things along the way, but so did the apostles in their lives, and so did we..... Shouldn't we correct them instead of dividing ourselves? You should know Martin Luther was not a good respectful person of the books of the Bible, he was like a rebel, he took what only clearly stated in Bible and considered that nothing else is needed... Sure may not be mandatory but does it mean it teaches that? It could teach more... I mean the Bible didn't end with short few pages! Did it? So, there is a lot to learn... There are people who cannot be trusted. I have seen people trust more the Thomas Gospel more than the originals, where by the early church fathers never recognized it to be a valid document written by the apostle Thomas, yet he was brainwashed! I wanted to show him evidence but he wouldn't listen. Also he didn't even trust Paul. Lol... And the main shocking thing was that HE CONSIDERED HIMSELF TO BE CHRISTIAN! So check if you have been brainwashed.... Or maybe not... Not necessary. If you would like, you can give me the sources.....
I just heard another priest say why he left Catholicism. He said the book of acts is just as relevant today as it was back then. The men that were anointed to write through the gifts of the Holy Spirit were divinely inspired as it says in the Bible. Those words then are as relevant today as they were yesterday. Jesus Christ is the same today as he is yesterday and he will be tomorrow.
Thank you, & God bless you, as one who has recently converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism and coming from a large extended family that is all Protestant, this helps so much. I cannot thank you enough.
@@bansheebrethren797 I’m very sad to hear this. May I suggest you read “Romanism and the Reformation” by Henry Grattan Guinness or any works by Guinness or by John Gill. There are hundreds of great theologians who expertly lay out the history and true beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. Read Foxe’s Book of the Martyrs that details hundreds of stories of people who died for their faith in Jesus at the torturous hands of the Roman Catholic Church. Sadly the huge wealth of the Vatican has managed to get controlling interest in most of our media and tech platforms and they have suppressed much of this information. The truth is the Roman Catholic Church and the papacy is the antichrist beast system prophecied in Revelation and the reformers as well as many great theologians throughout history knew this and claimed it to be so. Unfortunately so many of us don’t know history and we go off of videos such as this which are nothing but slanted opinion pieces and propaganda. I pray that God gives you the eyes to see and the ears to hear and that you dig a little deeper.
The trinity is absolutely explained in the Bible, and it needs no tradition or mans interpretation to explain that it’s a trinity and obvious. 1 John 5:7 (KJV) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The trinity is declared in the first two verses of the Bible. It's in Hebrew. The triune nature of God is revealed in Genesis 1:1-2. Genesis1:1 in the beginning Elohim created... Eloah is God in Hebrew, the 'im' on the end indicates plurality, however, this word for God is always paired with a singular verb, indicating the plurality within the singular. There is an untranslated word in Genesis 1:1 and that is et/אֵ֥ת. אֵ֥ת, is comprised of the letters Alef Tav, this is a Hebrew concept of completeness. In the oldest form of Hebrew writing, Paleo Hebrew Pictograph, the אֵ֥/Alef was signified by an Ox head. Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox. The KJV oddly inserts unicorn for ox but the Hebrew word is RE'EM which is a now an extinct extremely large wild bovine with horns, an Ox. ת/Tav, the last letter of the Hebrew alefbet means mark, covenant, tent peg or nail. It was written with the symbol of two crossed sticks and was originally written upright like a cross, approximately 11centuries before the first Roman crucifixion. Jesus says in Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” John was a Jew who came to faith in Christ through his apostleship with Christ. He wrote Revelations in Hebrew. It would have read, "I am the Alef and the Tav..." The Ruach Elohim/ The Holy Spirit: Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. In Genesis1:1-2 from the beginning of time God/Elohim declares his triune nature.

If a Protestant says "That's not in the Bible." I reply, "Your Bible is missing 7 books. Unless we are using the Catholic Bible, discussing doctrine will only lead to frustration for both of us. Would you like a copy?"
YOUR Bible doesn't contain the Book of Enoch and it removed the book of Jasher both of which Jesus and his disciples quoted. The canon of the Protestant Bible totals 66 books-39 Old Testament (OT) and 27 (NT) the Catholic Bible numbers 73 books (46 OT, 27 NT), the Greek and Russian Orthodox, 79 (52 OT, 27 NT) the Ethiopian Orthodox, 81 (54 OT, 27 NT.) What is your point? You have a cannon, not THE cannon, not the COMPLETE cannon. The Catholic church didn't write the Bible, they just gathered scripture and burnt every piece of scripture that they could get their hands on, if they didn't agree with it. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence, now does it?
@@juliemckenzie5960 I would love to see some evidence on that book burning claim, but a funny bird on my shoulder told me I might be waiting a very long time for that. Unless of course you mean the burning of Sorcery scrolls at Ephesus by the apostles, in which case you are also OK with that, being a protestant I assume. Moreover on the second point, the Catholic church does have THE canon, as it was created at the behest of the successors of the Apostles. Now you may not agree that makes it authoritative, however what authority does your church have? And before you claim Jesus remember the catholic church has Jesus as well. The Catholic church also has the authority of Peter who was given his authority BY Jesus. So we have Jesus, the Apostles, the successors, and tradition as well, and you claim Jesus but you also have... Bob the local hardware guy who had a near death experience? Suzy who once heard the voice of God and claimed that's how she knows grandma is in heaven? Or perhaps the local preacher who can slap the devils right outta' ya! Hallelujah! In a world of Faith that we base on the evidence of Christ and His church as founded by scripture, your evidence is lacking, your earthly authority is non-existent, and therefor your "canon" seems to be intellectually dishonest. The bible is, was and will always be a Catholic book, containing the inspired word of God, gathered and created Canon in the authority that Christ placed into the hands of the Apostles. Please join us at mass some time, end your protest and come back to the church. God bless you. -Your friendly Protestant turned Catholic by the grace and call of God.
@@jeremyhill9720 point is no matter how much you think catholic is the way to heaven it’s false. No where in scripture does it say pray the rosary for example or that Mary can intercede in prayers. Come to the real truth and follow Jesus and what he teaches. ”Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“ John 14:5-6 according to this by default who is the way to the father. NOT MARY, NOT MUHAMMAD OR THE POPES.ONLY JESUS IS THE WAY.
@@mkhululinxumalo2713 the word bible is also not in the bible, not everything is found in the bible. Christ founded a church entrusted to peter for ALL truth to be manifested, and by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the church gave birth to the Bible which the only authorized interpreter is Christ's church guided by the Holy Spirit.
@@mkhululinxumalo2713 no, the only way to understand the bible is through Jesus' church , and thats the catholic church, not the protestant heretical interpretation. The church gave birth to the bible, christ gave her authority, and christ didn't even told his apostle to write. Its the church's discerning power, ordained and guided by the Holy Spirit to write and compile the bible. Well, how can the protestant theology be credible? Bible alone? Hahaaha, where is that in scripture? And look how many sects you are ryt now and all, including those who say to themselves,' i do not belong to a denomination, im just a christian who follow Jesus'.... who among you tells the TRUTH? Well, so much for pride. 😊😊😊
If it's not in the Bible is not true. For instance, the Bible does not instruct us to put faith in Mary the mother of Jesus. It tells us the opposite. John 3:16.
@@riograndedosulball248 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16 :)
@M J 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says, "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." This pretty explicitly says that not everything the Apostles taught was written down. They said some important things too. Jesus and His Apostles refer several times to things that happened in Old Testament times, but that aren't actually written in any OT Scriptures, so clearly Jesus and His Disciples understood the symbiotic relationship between the Scriptures and oral traditions. But here's the thing that topples your entire house of cards: I don't have to use the Bible to show where extra-Biblical teachings are valid. I can, and I just did, but I don't have to. You, only the other hand, do have to be able to use the Bible to show where the Bible says that only the Bible has God-given truth in it. That's your burden because you give the Bible Supreme authority. But you'll never be able to meet that burden because the Bible never says that. The Bible Alone philosophy is self refuting
Catholic teachings don't have to be in the bible. Saint Paul said hold on to the traditions you have been given whether by word of mouth or by epistle. Scripture also says that jesus said many more things and performed many more miracles that weren't written. So many that it would fill a library were it written. Enough said
@Jackie Treehorn the Catholic church doesn't teach the literalism of adam anf eve and a talking snake. The Catholic church teaches the genres of different passages and the story of adam and eve is within the Catholic church taught to be the genre of epic poetry. Enough said.
@Jackie Treehorn in fact the Catholic church teaches that evolution is a valid belief and is allowed as a belief within the church as long as the believing person still also believes I the existence of a human soul.
@Jackie Treehorn your argument is invalid. Even psychiatrists protect the secrecy of abusers and other dangerous people unless of course three person there was court ordered. It's not only the Catholic church. However on the other hand another reason your argument is invalid is that while a priest may be sworn to secrecy, turning oneself in for illegal crimes will usually be given to said person as part of pennance otherwise forgiveness may not be offered. If someone is Catholic Enough to confess their sins to a priest for forgiveness then theyare aware already that penance is a requirement for valid forgiveness. Therefore if said person is Catholic then they are also aware that if three prescribed pennance is broken then forgiveness is not given. That being said only valid catholics are allowed into confession. The priest may not directly snitch but a person is not entirely protected. If a person continuously lives in mortal sin by choice excommunication can be a punishment and according to Catholic doctrine if you arent in communion with the church then you are hellbound. Try again
The issue with something not specifically mentioned in the Bible is it becomes hard to defend. While most Catholic doctrines are grounded in scriptures some practices such as excessive focus on Mary and saints to the extent of entrusting our souls to her/them is troublesome and hard to justify. Most Catholics cannot go beyond the rosary and are dull when it comes to the Word of God. Jesus left us the Holy Sprit (not Mary) because of Whom we are not orphans. They miss out on the love of God, the power of His promises, claims to healings, authority to bind and loose. etc. Catholics please buy a Bible, read the Word of God, memorize and meditate on His Word. A time of famine for His Word is coming.
@@MatthewChristn I wouldn't go that far. The Bible you hold in your hands and the doctrines you know of have come from early church fathers who were all Catholics.
On the doctrine of the Trinity, interestingly enough, probably most Christian denominations accept it as true and revealed in scripture, even though it is not explicitly stated.
Tim Richardson it may not explicitly be stated but it is there all over scripture, you just have to put the pieces together. I’m speaking as a Lutheran, and we accept the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds because they clearly align with Scripture. I wouldn’t even say it is merely IMPLICIT in scripture since all the scriptural evidences for the Trinity are actually clear, explicit statements in and of themselves.
@Eric Danver Music I was actually alerted by a Muslim about that being a variant lol. I used it as a defense of the Trinity in discussion with them, and they jumped all over it. Newer translations of the Bible in fact have left this verse out, since they seem to have gathered more evidence that it was a later addition to the text. Oh well :(
Luke 11:27-28 New International Version (NIV) 27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.” Mary, while blessed, was fully human. It is IDOL worship and a sin to pray to her or try to communicate with a dead human (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) Religion is a business that you don’t need to love and follow the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Read your Bible!! Shalom!
Gavin Grinny Exactly! We don’t talk to the dead. You see this played out when Saul talks to Samuel. Sadly this the devil’s new way of using half truths to push idolatry on God loving people. I know you are trying to do the right thing... I too was lied to. Trying to help you find the truth. Read the book of Matthew alone and you will know you are being lied to. Pastors should be married with 1 wife but Catholics have their priest celibate Jesus tells how to pray, that we shouldn’t have repetitive prayer (ie the rosary) Matthew 6:5-15. The Bible is the word of God. Read it. Get close to Him. I’ll let you in on a transparent secret... you only need God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). You don’t need anyone to intercede on your behalf. They are just a business. Find yourself a bible believing church
Gavin Grinny Gavin, please read or listen to the Bible. With love I say that you are being led astray. Know the word of God to test what people are telling you to believe. As you can see the Bible tells us we are all sinners... including the dead human Mary. Romans 3:9-26 New Living Translation (NLT) All People Are Sinners 9 Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles,[a] are under the power of sin. 10 As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous- not even one. 11 No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. 12 All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.”[b]
I'll never understand how Catholics can make the claim that, "the early church did this or that" and then ignore that the Catholic Church of today is nothing like the early church. Roll back everything to the day that Christ ascended up into heaven and you'll find a church that is more protestant than Catholic. There is nothing in the Bible about praying to Mary. If it was such a big deal, Jesus would have said so when He was here. Catholics make it seem that praying to the dead was something that was of huge importance 1,000's of years ago and yet we never see Moses do it, or the prophets or Paul do it. As far as Mary being full of grace...where in the Bible does it say, "Okay, repeat that statement several times over and over again." Is Mary deaf and you have to keep repeating the same thing over and over? Why not just pray to God? If you actually believe that Mary can do something about it then why not just say at the end of your prayer to God, "Oh, Mary, can you tell God what you heard me pray. Just in case God didn't hear me?". Just roll everything back to when Christ went into Heaven and then show how the early church then did everything that the Catholic Church does now. You can't. The early church and the Catholic Church of today are two very different belief systems.
@Strong Si Matatag macabees is invalid and luke 1:42 is describing how elizabeth feels honored to be in the presence of the mother of Jesus…i don’t exactly get why you’re referencing it as it has nothing to do with praying to Mary or Mary being higher than anyone else
The irony is that everyone assumes that what they believe is somehow from scripture, and they are usually correct. However, that doesn't mean scripture actually explicitly states what they believe. Most of the time, specific doctrines are developed from conclusions drawn based either on single verses in isolation of their context, or a cobbling together of several unrelated verses, all of which were lifted from their context. In the end, most of what we believe, whether we're Protestants, Catholics, or whatever, is likely incorrect in some way, because as much as we'd like it to, scripture doesn't speak with one single voice on any given topic.
Kevin Burgess Good point. Do you think it’s impossible for there to find the correct doctrines, or beliefs? Or are some denominations closer to the correct beliefs but not right through and through?
I don’t know about your Catholicism but here in the Philippines, for some reason they made it hard to follow God, all those prayers to the saints, prayers to the angels, prayers to Mary, practices during holy week - so much confusion on who to pray, what to do. There is only one saviour and he is Jesus Christ, our relationship to him is more important and the rest will follow suit. We can approach the throne of God through Jesus just like any other human being.
@Barrysthenics We consider the faithful of the OLDs like MOSES and AARON "Saints of the OLD".... in Garden of Getsemane, in Jesus PRAYING MOMENT, Moses and Aaron were there TALKING to Jesus... Is it not Praying? Why are you restricting yourself from praying to Saints well infact Jesus is doing it... And if you dont know Praying is not equal to WORSHIPPING... Praying is also talking to someone. Praying has different types according to the bible if you dont know... Your pastor is only teaching you that if you Pray go directly to the LORD... I may say true but incomplete that is not the true definition according to the bible, partly YES... because Prayer has different meaning according to the bible.
@Barrysthenics Do you think the SAINTS STOPS GROWING IN NUMBERS AFTER APOSTOLIC AGE? no... As the members increases the Saints also increases... The CHURCH has the AUTHORITY (Matthew 16: 13-20 ) At the Name of Jesus Christ The Church has the authority to canonized a saint.... whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Also in Revelation 5 John saw saints praying in heavens the martyred Christians and believer of Christ praying for US. "So I Think The Saints That Are Made Up In Catholic Church Are Dead " True is made of the CHURCH but by the AUTHORITY given by Jesus.... but Definitely not DEAD.... because in Luke 20:38 It says "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him ALL ARE ALIVE.”
@Barrysthenics They are not alive if it is not manifesting miracles. If there are many miracles and miraculous attributes from the testimonies of Christians nowadays, A candidate can be process according to deliberation of the church for sainthood --- it has process to undergo. As per God all are alive even though they are dead seperated from their bodies, their relics (body parts or things they own) still performing miracles... LIKE in tne bible the BONE of ELISHA make the dead man alive when it touches the bones of elisha 2 Kings 13: 20-21.
2 Peter 1:20-21 KJV Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. [21] For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
So we don't need God to explain His word to us and let Him reveal Himself to us, but we need other people to tell is that. So no intimate relationship with the father is necessary, or revelation of the Holy Ghost.. just to follow rules told by men.. And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Matthew 7:23 NKJV For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, Ephesians 2:8 NKJV knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Galatians 2:16 NKJV For we walk by faith, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7 NKJV Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.” Luke 7:50 NKJV When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” Mark 2:5 NKJV Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 5:1 NKJV
Maybe, Noorlander wish to impress that just have faith, and sit down and relax or do what you want and wait for salvation to be served to him by God in a silver platter. That is how I understand by his interpretation of the verses cited by him.
@@erningpaguirigan5831 i am happy to say i do not wish to impress that. Faith without works is dead, but Gods Word speakes of works of the law(like in romans 8) and works from faith (like in hebrews 11) We can not do anything to deserve salvation, but we CAN walk in faith in relationship with Christ.
@יהוכנן לואיס i agree with you how you explain it. But there are so many people explaining it that without those works you are not saved. And that is a big difference. If you really repented in your heart there will come actions according to that repentance, but those action will not save you. Otherwise people can boast for their actions.
Where does it unequivocally state, in the Bible, that you have to find EVERYTHING in the Bible. There was no bible for over 400 years! It didn’t fall from heaven like manna. The traditional observance came first! There was an oral tradition. You had to write on an animal skin, till the printing press was invented. You think every gentile or Jew had a bound copy of a Bible? How many people were literate? Context, please.
The oral tradition, the experiences, the letters of Paul and the apostles became the Bible. Whatever God inspired to be put forth in its pages. Whatever you are following, if it’s not the Word of God, then it’s just the word of man.
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Dear Catholics, do any of you wanna claim this demon? @Willo Lol has been stalking me and harassing me for the last 4 days, simply because I'm not Catholic. Is this the best we can expect from the church? He's spent the last 86 hours frantically scrolling through 6 thousand comments, desperately searching for my comments, just to harass me. He's hacked my Google account, broke into my phone as is currently deleting my words as I type. He subscribed to my channel and watched all my videos 25 times. This is how unhinged, ENRAGED and obsessed with me he is. Pretty pathetic. Pray for this demon possessed man. He is literally filled by the spirit of the antichrist. His only arguments are PROJECTION, HYPOCRISY, and LIES. He is a child of his father Satan, who is the father of all lies. He's on his way to hell, and he couldn't be happier about it. Tertullian clarified his understanding of the Lord’s Table by noting that the bread and the cup were symbols of Christ’s body and blood. In that same vein, we find that many of the church fathers similarly clarified their understanding of the eucharist by describing it in symbolic and spiritual terms. At times, they echoed the language of Christ (e.g. "This is My body" and "This is My blood") when describing the Lord's Table. Yet, in other places, it becomes clear that they intended this language to be ultimately understood in spiritual and symbolic terms. Here are a number of examples that demonstrate this point: The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever. Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70). Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2). Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57). Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7). Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel: For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80). Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19) Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8). He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1). And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24). A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. To be sure, they often reiterated the language of Christ when He said, “This is My body” and “This is My blood.” They especially used such language in defending the reality of His incarnation against Gnostic, docetic heretics who denied the reality of Christ's physical body. At the same time, however, they clarified their understanding of the Lord’s Table by further explaining that they ultimately recognized the elements of the Lord's Table to be symbols-figures which represented and commemorated the physical reality of our Lord’s body and blood.
@27foe esxlvx0 , me too! Born into the Catholic faith. Baptized as a babe. Confirmed as a teenager. Spent 12 years in Catholic school. Funnily enough, Catholics never read the Bible, only in church. That's because they need someone else to interpret it for them. I left Catholic school thinking that there were many roads to God, not just Yeshua. I entered college a wicked sinner who thought I was a godly person. I couldn't have been more wrong. I spent the next few years racking up sins. Shortly after college, I went looking for the Truth. I didn't know at the time that Truth had a name. It's Yeshua. Praise Him! He called me out of the church. I will never forget the moment I was born again. I never knew what it meant, until then. In a instant everything I believed changed. Everything I thought was true was revealed as a lie. I had never felt the presence of God until that moment. I was alone in my car, and I just knew that Yeshua was the only way! The Holy Spirit came into my heart, and I have never been the same. I don't think it's possible for Catholics to be born again, and still be Catholic. Born again means you change. Everything you believe is revealed as a lie, and you realize only Yeshua is Truth. Catholics think they're the only ones with the truth, so I don't think as a whole they will humble themselves. Just an opinion. Looking back, it really makes me upset that catholicism claims to hold the keys to heaven, yet not a single Catholic knows where they will end up. If catholicism holds the keys to heaven, why won't they tell their congregants how to get there? I do think it's funny that the priest admitted: "everything one needs for salvation can be found in Scripture." Yup! So why would anyone need the Catholic church? Do Catholics really believe that a church that is a political power, and has spent centuries murdering people and molesting children, mostly boys, is the church God chose for His own? Catholic means universal. God's church isn't a denomination. It's the true followers of Yeshua all over the world.
I am Catholic. We worship the Holy Trinity *alone*. We do not worship Jesus Christ alone...nor do other real Christians. We worship the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are no other beings that Catholics worship.
After getting my doctorate in literature and philosophy, after teaching about literary interpretation, after reading and reading post-structuralist literary deconstruction, after completely understanding interpretative communities that share common cultural tools, after going in depth in post-marxist critique of ideologies that create a worldview from which one seems and analizes the world, including texts, after learning of the impossibility to not be influenced by ideologies in our conciousness, after learning that there is not an extra-ideological conciousness from which to see the world, becoming concious of the limits of my own historical conciousness mediated by our current available vocabulary and ideologies, I had to humbly accept that the Church is right. We need a magisterium based on tradition to avoid our historical ideologies to become intertwined with our faith even when we think nothing mediates the text and us.
@@AnnetteMurphyger Exactly! That is why never rely on any tradition, but the only Sacred Tradition. It is impossible to avoid getting our contemporary ideologies intertwine with the text we read. In fact, reading the Sacred Scripture without Sacred Tradition is actually a new tradition, a tradition of man. This latter form of reading creates specific interpretative communities entirely detached from the context in which the Scared Scripture was written. Without this context upon which to sustain the correct interpretation, these communities import their contemporary ideologies into the text. You can learn all this in any literary theory course in your English department. Contemporary ideologies, then, mediates the text when we think nothing lies between the reader and the written word. In fact, the more we think we understand the meaning of a decontextualized text, the more we add to the text than we think: our conciousness is the result of many assumed ideologies that we are practically importing our own meaning into any text. Therefore, I have to agree with you: this new tradition is very dangerous. Greetings!
@@xtreme_survival7879yes, but Christian tradition not that of man. Oral tradition and eye witness testimonies were used by the 4 Evangelists to write the Gospels.
@@AnnetteMurphyger It was the apostles themselves who intended to preserve tradition, so that it could be given to the generations to come, 2 thessalonians 2:15, 1 Timothy 3:14-15.
On the road to Emmaus, and then later in Jerusalem, Christ gave disciples and apostles all the scriptural typology that predates but points to Him. We know that because it's in the Bible. But the interpretations themselves aren't provided. So here we have scriptural proof of revelation not captured in Sacred Scripture.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” I hope by this verse God reveals something to you... but I love the confession though, that some of what Catholics are following are not in the Holy Bible.
Breaking In The Habit I also hope that you find confidence in the Word of God in the bible. Biblical knowledge supersedes logic and human wisdom... Take this verse and reflect. The Lord has said: "These people praise me with their words, but they never really think about me. They worship me by repeating rules made up by humans. So once again I will do things that shock and amaze them, and I will destroy the wisdom of those who claim to know and understand." (Is 29:13-14 CEV)
The Scriptures as we have today didn't come from one source (writers). Does it mean then the Holy Spirit dictated it 🤔 If so, why are the differences of contents in the four books of Gospels 🤔 Which means either of them is lying (Holy Spirit or the writers). By the way, the Bible didn't come first. It's the Church whose members wrote the 27 NT books and who DECIDED the books as CANONICAL and fruits of the INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. It was only after this that the Jews decided their Canon of the Books and removed the 9 OT books. The separated brothers (protestants) agreed to the books decided by the Jews in the early 16th century. Kindly read the Gospel written by St. Luke 1:1-4 to know the meaning of Tradition.
But you know that when Paul wrote these lines, the word "Scriptures" meant the Old Testament, since the Gospels had not even been written yet and that for him, his epistles were merely letters? And who has declared with authority that these books and letters were inspired by God? The successors of the Apostles, the bishops.
Of course we saw it but the examples he gave alone were bogus....I would explain my pov if you'd like but many would rather listen to a priest rather than the word of jesus, who personally I feel trump's any of these blind men
@@adrieldavis your full of bs , we wrote the word of christ down we put the bible together and we kept the word alive. Get your Lutheran bs out of here.
@@danielanthony256 what are you talking about....the examples he gave were further interpreted...like for example the hail Mary....never once....she was basically thanked and bless but never praised. Do the words "pray to none but me" mean nothing or that just includes whoever you decide earned it enough? Also...you're saying Catholics did all this right? I dunno where Catholics came from then it's Christians who are quoted in the book...I don't fall under any denominations sorry...I'm a follower of Jesus and his words
@@adrieldavis NB: I’m not here to have a debate. But if you’re being of good faith, I’m just fraternally giving you suggestions you are free to follow. First, you understand that “Catholic” means universal right? As it is written in the Apostles' Creed (followed by Catholics, Orthodoxs and Protestants… Maybe not by Christian sects, I don’t know) we, Christians, all believe in “the holy catholic Church”. Then, I think that what Daniel said, was that what you consider to be the Words of Jesus (and you are right) comes from the Bible as it was defined by the Catholic Church in the 4th century (then, ok, Luther decided to delate some books from the Old Testament ; but even if he hesitated, he kept everything of the New Testament). So, if you do not trust the Church leaders, and want to maximize your chances of following the Words of Jesus, independently from any structure, here is what you should do : 1/ Read all the Gospels, including those of the Apocrypha, to decide what Gospels YOU think are reliable to follow (that is basically a Protestant demarche, to follow what you think Jesus want you to, without considering other forms of hierarchy : even your pastor, right ?) 2/ Decide if you can trust all books from the New Testament, for instance the Apocalypse (we are not sure which John wrote it) or the letters of Saint Paul, as he is not just repeating Jesus words but also interpreting them - interpretations that Saint Peter and Saint James discussed. If you think Paul is reliable, and you’d be right, then also read (as did Luther) works from the very first Christians: texts from the Church Fathers, letters from Saint Clement of Rome, the Didache, etc. And you should also recognize that, in many ways, you need “pastors” (in the letteral sense) to help you follow the way to the Lord. Then, if you are sincere, you might understand what Catholicism is about. Finally, when you’re talking about Mary, I think you were referring to the 10 Commandments, and that you meant “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”, and we all agree, so there is nothing to discuss.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH [1] THE ENTIRE CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS STARTED ON A LIE! THEY STATE THAT PETER WAS THE FIRST POPE, AND EVERY POPE SINCE THEN, WAS OF HIS ORDER!

The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, just like a human family.(Humans are created in the "image" and "likeness" of God according to Genesis 1:26) In the book of Job, which is part of the Bible, the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?"-Job 38:29. Because God can also be thought of like a mother (Isaiah 42:14, Isaiah 66:13, Matthew 23:37), all three roles (father,mother,progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying the Father and the Son are Parents of the Holy Spirit is simply another way of saying "the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic doctrine for centuries. The Church teaches that the Son is begotten from the Father. If this is true, the Father is the Father (Parent)of the Son. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. If this is true, the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit. Of course, the scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 2nd Person of the Trinity, whichever of these is true, the 1st and the 2nd may be the Parents of the 3rd.

I am saving these videos that i can use it to defend our Catholic faith when i am ready and will be given the opportunity to evangelize. Thank you Father Casey and most importantly, thanks GOD!
@@CrowsandMoss Hi, I posted a reply to you last night as soon as I saw your comment, were you able to see it? Because I rechecked it now, I couldn't seem to find it. Thank you sister 😘
@@CrowsandMoss Yeah maybe yt deleted it, i made sure i posted it because it's lengthy and i really want to share it with you especially at this point in your religious and spiritual journey.
Exactly what Jesus Christ told the Pharisees, Catholics are modern day Pharisees who nullify to power of the word of Jehovah God with their traditions!.
As a person who is seriously considering Catholicism I appreciate this video. Although, I disagree with the example of the Trinity as not being mentioned in the Bible. 1 John 5:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV) For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
It's interesting that Paul was traveling the globe "convincing" people of the truth in Scripture rather than "asserting" his interpretive authority. Why were the bereans scripturally commended for checking for the truth themselves if we're supposed to submit to the priest's interpretation with no questions asked?
The only Scripture that St. Paul could be referring to, whether convincing or asserting, was the old Testament. His own letters were the first things written in the New Testament, and almost everything else was written after his death. It was only from the authority of the Church that he was forming that Scripture actually came about.
I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused by your question. The Catholic Church does not say that one is supposed to "submit to the priest's interpretation with no questions asked." That is not how we approach faith, authority, or scripture.
@@BreakingInTheHabit Please clarify. I was under the impression that Scripture cannot be properly interpreted outside of what the catholic leaders assert. That's incorrect?
I've never heard that before. Each Christian must make it an important part of their lives to read Scripture, but privately and communally. Now, that doesn't mean that we believe that every personal interpretation is correct. That's why we have the Church. We come together, and with the help of others (including priests, scholars, and catechists) try to come to an understanding of scripture. But that does not mean that priests have the only answer or that priests can never be wrong.
ON MARY BEEN PRAISED AND VENERATED Luke 11:27-28 "As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed! But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”(This is Jesus downplaying the importance of mary in bringing him to earth) Jeremiah 7:18 "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger" (in reference to mary been falsely called as queen of heaven shows the worship or reverence of these godess is ancient and pagan) ON PRAYER IN GENERAL Matthew 6:9 ""This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" (this is Jesus teaching his disciples on prayer nowhere does he mention the importance of praying to his mother for graces or protection) Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." (This is one of Paul's numerous teachings on prayer there's just no sign of rosary or mary) ON MARY BEEN SEEN AS MEDIATOR OR AS A NECCESSARY INTERCESSOR 1 timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus" Romans 8:26 " Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words" Hebrews 7:25 "Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." ON PRAYING TO DEAD PEOPLE AND ADRESSING SAINTHOOD Romans 1:7 "To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Shows who is a saint. Its not some process the Vatican makes. Its everyone who loves God and Beleives in Jesus christ) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 1Thessalonians 4:17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"(shows there is no one alive in any heaven. This is paul speaking years after the resurrection of christ. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about this too) ON WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE SAVED Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"(this is wjat is needed baptism is the final confirmation. No where do we see you need to be baptized first to be saved or you need to be baptized by any specific church) Mark 16:16 "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned" (as you can see Beleiving is the emphasis and tue consequences of not Beleiving is the main topic not being baptized. When you Beleive tobbe baptized woukd be the least of problems) Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”(He gave this commission to his disciples that is all who were following him. Not to any church organization) ON THE MEANING OF THE CHURCH, WHAT THE CHURCH DID WHEN THEY MET AND CHURCH ADMINISTRATION 1 Corinthians12:13 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit" (This talks about how one becames part of the body of christ and that is true his spirit. How does one receive the spirit, acts 2:38 "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy spirit") Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (This is quite clear) 1 Corinthians 14:26 "What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up." (This is what we should do when we come together we don't see this in the RCC and to be fair many protestant and orthodox churches as well, paul teaches we all have different gifts and different things to contribute to the growth of one another. Today the opposite is the case. Its usually one head man or gis subordinates in different branches of an organization calling the shots) Titus 1:5-6" For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient" 1 timothy 3:1-6" This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity"(requirements for being a bishop/elder of a local congregation. No where do we see that they must not be married or celibate. This is falsehood the Catholic Church forces on its clergy(whom they call priest btw) Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.(Like many of the protestant churches the Catholic Church barely or doesn't recognize these gifts. Instead it has its strange hierarchical structure of priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and finally the pope who has a pagan title pontifux maximus and vicar of christ meaning representative of Christ. This is who Jesus said was his representative on earth. John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" no one man is representative of christ only his spirit. The argument of Peter is forced in. Peter was a spokesman quite alright but he never assumed any authority as head of christs church that title belongs to Christ alone Collosians 1:17-18 "And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" Theres little evidence peter was in rome and peter for sure wasn't called papa nor did he have a papal palace not did he decree papal bulls. These are all strange to the new testament church) Finally the churches in the new testament were local congregations with elders or bishops they did not have any subordination to rome or some pope somewhere. They only had subordination to Christ. The bishop or elder was appointed for guiding the people in the right direction.
On your analysis of 1 thes 4:17 concerning none "being alive in any heaven", please consider Jesus's response to the thief on the cross "today you will be with me in paradise" and also the ascension where he speaks with Moses and Elijah. Peace in Christ
@@ernestliddle6915 Once again you look at scriptures and twist them to suit your narrative. Neither christ nor Paul nor any apostle taught that Mary or anyone for that matter ascended anywhere. You are just all over the place desperate to uphold the falsehood taught to you by the RCC
That also means your leaving a faith you previously considered the faith. So if you go back to protestantism, you will still be returning to the faith.
@saladdogger Over 7000 times, since I was 7 years old..I am now 75; and in seemingly very healthy. The life one gets within, as promised by our Lord, keeps us happy and at peace.
@saladdogger Actually, it's very easy to explain... There are around 1,5 billion Catholics around the world, and it would take a very long time if everyone would receive both the body, and the blood separately. There wound also be the danger of spilling some on the floor. But the Church teaches that the Eucharist is the body, blood soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. So; the body contains the blood as well. When the priest present the consecrated bread to the recipient; he says: "The body of Christ"; and the recipient answers Amen, which means I believe. At weddings, and special occasions, the newly wed receive under both species sometimes... The host is the complete Jesus, as well as the blood. Some cringe at the thought of eating flesh and blood; but God does this in an un bloody manner, so as not hurting us. He created the heavens and the earth out of nothing, so it's not harder for Him to create (something) out of something he created...mainly; turn the created bread and wine into His body and blood. Thanks for the question. Maybe you can explain this to your friend. God bless you.
@saladdogger You heard right...the priests do drink the cup at each mass. They are doing what Jesus told the apostles to do after consecration. I have received under both species a few times during my life on special occasions like around Easter, and Holy Thursday when we celebrate the Last Supper. Thanks
@saladdogger Well; the priest breaks the bread in two during consecration. Second, you say wafer...actually, it is unleavened bread like Jesus used...no yeast in it. He uses Jesus's words exactly when he celebrates the mass. Jesus gave communion to the twelve apostles, but in our church, there are sometimes a few hundreds, so the Church decided to give a small host. But the most important thing is...Jesus told the apostles: "Whatever you bind on earth, will be bound in heaven". The Church decides how the Liturgy takes place. If the priest runs out of hosts, he can break the host in many pieces and give it to more people. Jesus is present in every part of the host equally...the whole Jesus. If the host is Jesus's body, it also contains His blood. Finally; it's a mystery. Only God understands Mysteries fully. Thanks for asking.
But if something is explicitly stated in the scripture, it is the absolute truth that should not be ignored and should never contradict the "revealed truth". Amen. Thank you for this video, I've learned a lot about the Catholic belief.
Well, in the Book of Mark it tells that Mary had children; why is this ignored? It is to create, same as the pagans have, a Queen of heaven. Only the tip of that great deception.
@@geraldhagen2989 the “brothers” mentioned in Mark were James, Joses, Judas and Simon. Their relationship is clarified in other passages. James and Joses (Joseph), and most likely Simon, were sons of Mary of Clopas (Mark 15:40) who was described as Mary’s “sister” - more likely her cousin or sister-in-law - (John 19:25), so they were His *cousins*. Judas is the son of James (Luke 6:16). So while the Greek ‘adelphos’ means brother, it also encompasses other male relations such as cousin, uncle, nephew, etc. It was also the word used for the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were actually uncle and nephew. The reason being that the original Hebrew and Aramaic of the Old Testament did not have a word for cousin, brother, etc so the Greek translation used ‘adelphos’ to encompass all male relationships. The same applies for “sister”. Another indication that Jesus did not have siblings was at His death, when He entrusted the care of His mother to John. If He had siblings her care would have been entrusted to the next eldest son. Not to John.
@@laurenhorstman2176 Whoever wrote that explanation must not have any knowledge of the New Testament. I pray it wasn't you. Jesus had half-brothers and half-sisters by Joseph and Mary. That commentary is a great example of eisegesis. John 2:12 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with HIS MOTHER and HIS BROTHERS and HIS DISCIPLES, and they stayed there for a few days. John 7:1 And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee; for He was unwilling to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. 3 HIS BROTHERS therefore said to Him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that YOUR DISCIPLES also may behold Your works which You are doing. 4 "For no one does anything in secret, when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." 5 FOR NOT EVEN HIS BROTHERS WERE BELIEVING IN HIM. 6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time is not yet at hand, but your time is always opportune. 7 "The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. 8 "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come." 9 And having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee. 10 But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret. Acts 1:14 And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, AND WITH HIS BROTHERS. Galatians 1:18 Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's BROTHER. 1 Corinthians 9:4 Do we not have a right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles, AND THE BROTHERS OF THE LORD, and Cephas?
Except for the papacy, Anglicanism believes in the catholic doctrines you mentioned, at least in Anglo-Catholic tradition of which I'm a member. God's peace Brother.
I believe we need to start working towards uniting the faithful. It'll start with the Catholics and Orthodox, then the Anglicans and then the Lutherans. These, from what I've heard, seem to have the most similarities theologically(well....at least relative to the theological differences between Catholics and other Protestants...)
Derrick Zeller Still Anglicanism isn't founded by Jesus. Anglicanism was founded by a king's caprice and immorality. I am glad to discover some Anglican parishes are reuniting with Rome.
@alray , very true. After 14 years of preaching, God told St. Paul to submit what all he had taught to gentiles to Peter and get his approval. Read Gal 2:1-2 . Paul did exactly that. He didn't want his work in the past or in the present to be a failure. Pope is now continuing to do peter's work. You would say, pope is the acronym for PETER's OFFICE PRIEST ENTRUSTED
There is biblical reference for triune God. Triune means 3 n 1 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word(John1:1,14, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one(Triune). 1 John 5:7
Unfortunately, that is from the King James Version, which is full of errors. This is one of those errors. 1 John 5:7 actually says: "7For there are three that testify: 8the a Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement." It would be great if the Trinity were actually in the Scriptures, but it just isn't
Why do catholics call the virgin mary the queen of heaven and earth, and the queen of all the angels? The bible says that the king of heaven and earth is God, the Lord of angelic hosts. I know there must be a good reason to give her those titles, but it seems there is a contradiction between scripture and catholic tradition. Can you please answer this question.
The wikipedia page on this is actually pretty good: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Heaven#Historical_practice Read the "Biblical Basis," and "Historical Practice" sections for information.
MrArozas Heaven and earth belong to Jesus Christ, God the Son. And Mary is his mother. We know from the Sacred Scripture and Israel history that the queen of the king of Israel is not his wife, but his mother. So, Catholicism, as the continuation of the OT Israel must have a king (Jesus) and his queen must be his mother (Mary).
In the first century, the Queen was the mother of the king, not the king’s wife. Also, Revelation 12 describes a woman who gives birth to Jesus wearing a crown in heaven. Also, all of Mary’s words in scripture point back to Jesus’ authority. “Do whatever He tells you”.
In the book of Judges, a group of women were executed because they were caught worshipping the "Queen of heaven", and her symbol was the crescent moon. They were executed because the Queen of heaven is actually Satan, and Islam adopted the crescent moon which is the symbol of witchcraft.
@alray Directing prayers to anyone other than God is idolatry and blasphemy. It is the First Commandment. The Bible also says directing prayers to the dead is witchcraft. Mary was a sinner saved by grace. She even said so. "My soul magnifies the Lord and rejoices in God my SAVIOR." She knew she was a sinner and needed a Savior. She was nothing special. Jesus is the only One who matters.
Would it even matter if one(many) of our beliefs wasn't found explicitly in Scriptures? (the Bible) (the Word) Yes, it matters because it talks about our salvation in Jesus Christ alone.
MrKev1664 Amen brother.. continuously obey Him. If we truly love God, we shall, we will, we can obey His commandments. He empowers us to do His will and the driving force, true Love.
Would it matter if you misrepresented Christianity? Would it matter if you misrepresented Catholicism? Would it matter if you misrepresented Hinduism? Yes, it matters. We can not misrepresent anyone's beliefs. If anyone insists on misrepresenting another's faith, they would be children of Satan. The children of God do not do that...only the children of Satan. That is straight from the scriptures in 1 John. So, our conversations, as Christians, can never involve a lie about another's faith.... especially about faith because we are discussing God! He is watching us and would never approve of a lie. So, when you say our Salvation is in Christ only, are you implying that someone believes that our salvation is not in Christ alone?
Salvation in Jesus Christ means praying to Him AND following His teachings. His teachings include being in community and fellowship with Apostolic Succession which is the Catholic Church. The word "alone" means excluding other false religions not the Catholic Church.
An example of Bible alone is the interpretation of "speaking in tongues". Without guided interpretation from a thousand year tradition people end up concluding this means babbling incoherently speaking the voice of angels. When the Bible mentioned the apostles speaking in tongues it means they were blessed by the holy spirit to allow them to speak in other languages (tongues) in order to spread the good news. Unfortunately this errant interpretation have us now people babbling and chittering believing this is the way to salvation.
@@MrYeet-ip4qj Yes because Jesus entrusted the TRUE church to us... Jesus left us the CHURCH given the keys to Peter as the first leader of Christians... Jesus did NOT left us THE BIBLE but he left us His Church.... As per PAUL the Church is the PILLAR and FOUNDATION TRUTH. So I trust Jesus through his Church
@@charnelallan7159 maybe you are… for the last 1000 years after Christ there is no such thing in the early christian times the concept bible alone….

Being a Christian from 33ad until now is more than a bible… our church has many relics of the old faithful servants of god…including peter, st Thomas and Saint Paul… their remains are in rome… one of the evidences that Catholic church’s holds the truth and evidences of what happened in the bible… What are you boasting your individual interpretation of bible?

@@vinnyv949 , not true. The apostles didn't practice catholicism. The word Catholic wasn't even used until 110 AD. 80 years after Christ. The apostles were dead before catholicism was born. Tertullian clarified his understanding of the Lord’s Table by noting that the bread and the cup were symbols of Christ’s body and blood. In that same vein, we find that many of the church fathers similarly clarified their understanding of the eucharist by describing it in symbolic and spiritual terms. At times, they echoed the language of Christ (e.g. "This is My body" and "This is My blood") when describing the Lord's Table. Yet, in other places, it becomes clear that they intended this language to be ultimately understood in spiritual and symbolic terms. Here are a number of examples that demonstrate this point: The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever. Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70). Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2). Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57). Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7). Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel: For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80). Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19) Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8). He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1). And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24). A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation. To be sure, they often reiterated the language of Christ when He said, “This is My body” and “This is My blood.” They especially used such language in defending the reality of His incarnation against Gnostic, docetic heretics who denied the reality of Christ's physical body. At the same time, however, they clarified their understanding of the Lord’s Table by further explaining that they ultimately recognized the elements of the Lord's Table to be symbols-figures which represented and commemorated the physical reality of our Lord’s body and blood.
@@nikkishears6402 this is just more Protestant nonsense and the result of listening to a fat heretic from the 1500s. I know the apostles didn’t practice Catholicism since the church wasn’t created yet. However the Catholic Church is the continuation of the apostles and the Bishop of Rome is our only link with Christ on earth as he is the heir to St. Peter who Jesus gave the keys to kingdom of Heaven to. The official unified church was created by Roman Emperor Constantine and many early church fathers and patriarchs to get all the differing Christian sects on the same page and weed out heresy. The top clergymen and theologians throughout the empire and in the world really were brought to the council of Nicea where debate, discussion, and voting commenced to develop orthodoxy. The unified Christian church with its five patriarchs started to splinter after the fall of the Roman Empire. The big schism occurred in the 11th century when the Roman Catholic Church and Greek Orthodox church (basically the two most powerful patriarchs that of Rome and Constantinople) broke communion. These were once part of the unified Catholic (which means universal) and the two oldest Christian institutions in the world. More schisms occurred in the 1500s as the English king wanted to continually divorce which the pope wouldn’t allow and some fatso thought he knew better than 1500 years of tradition. Now we have all these different Christian sects and no one knows the history of Christianity and spout ignorant comments.
So are we just gonna pretend in the dark ages the Catholic church didnt try to keep scripture out of the hands of the people? And taught that man was infallible but the word of God was full of errors? Are we also gonna pretend that the textus receptus or received texts dont exist? Maybe dont just trust what you are taught try looking up stuff for yourself. Do we also want to pretend that they didn't try to keep the kjv bible from being produced. History is essential in some aspects here unless we just want to repeat it.
It was never prohibited to the people to own and read a bible, it was just: 1- very expensive, because the press didn't existed yet 2- people had to know how to read proficiently 3- it was recomended to have a priest help you on the interpretation, of which there is only one, and when you let people make their own interpretations without guidance, you end up having heresies like calvinism :) Also, i'm halfway though History college, happy i could help you understanding
@@williamavitt8264 are they now? because with simple digging you can find the majority of this information, simply by typing in and looking up the name Martin Luther who was one of the major protesters of their teachings because they were not found in scripture. Looking into him you will also note that the Catholic leaders were in fact controlling what was taught to the public and what wasn't. They helped push the narrative that we didn't have all the scriptures when in fact we did. These things do exist and can be found, rather you chose to looking into them or not is completely up to you. Even to this very day the vatican continues its assault on what scripture says, they indulge in all types of ritualistic cult like practices and even entertain the notion that aliens might exist, pope even said he would baptize one. Saying my facts are wrong don't make them wrong, regardless of how you feel about it, the truth isn't concerned with your feelings or mine.
@@justinbivens7314 Martin Luther was right about a great many things, but he was also wrong about a great many things. It's funny to me, though, how you chastise Catholics for following the teachings of men and then point to the teachings of a man to try and prove your point. And your understanding of the history of the Bible is greatly flawed. The Catholic church didn't push a narrative that we didn't have all the books. Those books were always there. Luther took them out because they contradicted his teachings. He alone took it upon himself to say they didn't belong. But the deutrocanonical books are part of the Old Testament going all the way back to the Septuagent (my spelling might be wrong), which would have been the version of Holy Scriptures used in the time of Christ and the version quoted by Christ Himself. The Catholics did add several books to the Bible that weren't in there before. Today we call those books The New Testament
I see the heart behind these videos, although from the majority of comments it seems the outcome is more affirming fellow catholics rather than challenging them. For the record I agree that both scripture and historical tradition should be taken into account, the Greek Orthodox probably felt the same way before the Schism. Interpretation and practice is what both divides and diversifies our faith. I wish we'd stop wasting time defending our beliefs to each other and more time advancing His Kingdom.
Had a protestant say today "that me calling him a protestant" was like calling him a n word but in a spiritual way. And he was mad. I used it in a way to simply explain the difference between each group in context of him telling me Catholics are bad. Just logical dialogue to use. I was calm leading up to it as well. someone who says that is hard to deal with.
@Willo Lol is a PSYCHO stalker who's been harassing me for 86 hours, simply because I am not Catholic. He hacked my Google account and broke into my phone. He even threatened me with, "I know where you live." Is this the best we can expect from the Catholic faith?
He's obviously not following Christ but himself. Anyone who follows themselves is lost. It doesn't matter if your a priest or a protestant inspirational speaker if you don't follow God your not of him.
I love your videos Father Casey. They are informative, concise and well presented. You are clear and your pace is easy to follow. There is often humour, which I enjoy😊, but no drama. You have an excellent speaking voice. Keep up your good work. This is a very useful and enlightening video.
Sciptures - inspired written Word of God. The text is dead unless the Holy Spirit breath on it. Christ Jesus - He is the Living Word of God. He is God.
The Scriptures, illumined by the councils, Fathers, the Creed, the liturgy, etc., are a witness to the Word but are not the Word. What many Protestants are dangerously close to is literally bibliolatry - equating the Bible to the True God. All the while virtue signaling assumed Catholic "idolatry".
How do you know Scripture is inspired and how many books should constitute it? Why 66 and not 73 or 57 or 144? Who compiled Scripture and when and by whose authority? This is exactly why I will always be Catholic. The Bible and the 73 books that make it up is our compendium. Our doctrine is as Apostolic as it gets.
For some strange reason i believe some faiths are jealous plain and simple.Some pastors don't speak against Catholics,they're the true prophets. I love being Catholic!!
Simply say and believe..Yeshua, Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sins, wash me clean. I accept you as Lord and saviour, restore my life, help me. I believe you rose from the dead. And you will be saved, choose righteousness

If you believe the scriptures aren’t sufficient for salvation then you believe every one of these scriptures is a lie:
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. - Romans 4:5
Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. - Galatians 2:16
And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith. - Philippians 3:9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. - Ephesians 2:8
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. - Titus 3:5
Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” - John 6:28
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain-if indeed it was in vain? Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith. - Galatians 3
For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. - Romans 10:3
@@JC-li8kk
Any contradictions here? Of course not! The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is given to us through God's grace, which lead us to have faith and do good works. Faith and good works and intrinsically related to each other. That's what Jesus teaches us in the Gospels, and more clearly what saint James exhorts us to do:
"So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17
Let's just see more more biblical examples that the protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura is no biblical:
"...Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in..." Matthew, 25:34-40
"...And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give to every one according to his work.” Revelation 22:12.
Your attempt to find a confliction and contradiction between saint Paul and saint James is a disaster and only shows how far protestants can go in their heretic doctrines.
Now have a look at the following biblical verses and take your conclusions. Can you spot any good works in these verses?
"...How does it help, my brothers, when someone who has never done a single good act claims to have faith? Will that faith bring salvation?..." James, 2:14
"...You see now that it is by deeds, and not only by believing, that someone is justified..." James, 2:24
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments."John 14:15
"And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works"Heb. 10:24
"By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."John 15:8
"The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people."Titus 3:8
"For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do."Heb. 6:10
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."2 Tim. 3:16-17
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." ... "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."John 15:1-5, 8-11
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil."2 Cor. 5:10
"They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."Titus 1:16
"Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Cor 16:14
"So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."James 4:17
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’Matt. 7:21-23
"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Phil. 2:12-13
"So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."James 2:17
"And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done."Rev. 20:13
"And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."Col. 1:9-10
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."John 15:16
Not to sound rude. A genuine question but apparently; and the mother and saints?
Small c or C [c]atholic? Roman Catholics focus on Idols of Mary Mother of [G]od and other idols of so called Saints. The Roman Catholics' plan of salvation is not biblical. It is based on works and trying to aid God when he needs no help. The Roman Catholics teach you must earn grace and that you can lose grace.
@@devere1299 it seems to me you know nothing about the Catholic doctrine. In fact, your words are Just repetition of ignorant protestant false accusations. I suggest you read the Cathechism of the Church before writing nonsenses here. The Catholic Church has always taught that salvation is through God's Grace. However, faith and good works are intrinsecally connected, and this is very clear in the bible. "Come you who are blessed by my father, take your inheritance..." "...For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink...". And it is also very clear in the book of James: "...Faith without good works are dead..."
Note: the doctrine of communion and veneration of saints is not only Roman Catholic. It is also adopted by the Eastern Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches as well. All these Churches are apostolic Churches. As for protestants, they only began to appear in the XVI century. Far beyond the beginning of Christianity...

Wow, I never knew how to explain Mother Mary's prayer to others. I'm so honored to have found your videos. Thank you, Fr.!
Do you pray to Mary? She can't help you. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 ESV
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
In the Original Greek in Mark 11:24, Jesus commands His apostles to believe that they already received when they pray. In 2016, six specialists told my mother that she needed a pacemaker. She was so weak that she could only walk 20 feet in 10 minutes, and then had to sit down and rest. I shared Mark 11:24 with my mother. We prayed in the name of Jesus and then my mother praised God that she was already healed. The next day she walked a mile to go get her groceries, completely normal. She never did need a pacemaker. Just days before, she was so weak that she was hospitalized for 10 days.
My neighbor was sent home to die because he was so low on the list for a kidney transplant. He was bedridden. We prayed the same way and he rose up completely normal the next day. He stood out in the front yard and stopped all the neighbors and told them what happened. I could go on and on for hours telling you about several neighbors and several relatives that received this way. God confirms His Word with signs (Mark 16:20), the problem is that too many are using vain repetitions which Jesus said were vain in Matthew 6:7.
Also it is the prayer of FAITH that heals the sick in James 5:15, not just prayer. Faith is based on the Bible. Since 99% of Churches do NOT teach on healing, 99% of Churches cannot pray the prayer of Faith to receive healing.
I didn't believe in Faith Healing, I believed:
1) God is Sovereign
2) God is all Powerful
3) God is in Control
4) God can do whatever He wants
5) God has a purpose a plan and a time for everything
6) God knows what you are suffering.
7) In His time He will heal you.
Mark 6:5-6 and James 1:5-7 completely changed what I believed.
In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal but could not because of their unbelief.
James 1:5-7 shows not to think that you will receive if you doubt.
How can you believe when the church is telling you that God does not heal today? You cannot.
1 Timothy 2:5, " For there is one mediator between God and Man - the man Christ Jesus." One, not 2 (Not Mary), not many (Praying to saints).
John 14:6, "Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me."
Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."
Mary has no authority in heaven. Zero. If she did, then James 1:5-7 would be a lie.
James 1:5-7 and Mark 6:5-6 upended my false beliefs that God could do anything he wants. In Mark 6:5, Jesus wanted to heal, but COULD not because of their unbelief.
Matthew 6:7 says to not pray with vain repetitions. Saying the rosary is vain. My Aunt said that she prayed to Mary for 60 years and where did it get her? With tears in her eyes she said 22 operations and now she does not believe in God. She said, "I had my first operation at age 22."
John 16:23 says to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. To pray some other way is unbelief, rebellion, and yes, inspired of the enemy.
I was so Catholic and I heard so much criticism from my Christian friends that I decided to do my own survey. I asked many Catholics if they believed that Jesus died for their sins. God is my witness, many said, “No, I believe in the Virgin of Guadalupe, she appears to the poor and she loves the poor.” Startled, I questioned them again and they told me the same thing. My mother had an uncle in the Catholic Church who was a bishop and they know better. They should not let people go to hell for idolatry. They should teach the truth.
If the Virgin of Guadalupe appeared, then it must be the devil because II Corinthians 11:14 says so. It is the only verse that covers the topic. Don;t be deceived.

My Eyes were open after I prayed these prayers. Try it. I guarantee that God will give you insight that you never had before.
I have prayed the prayers in Ephesians for myself, relatives and ministers and I have seen improvements in all within weeks. The "Our Father" was given to Jewish men under the Old Covenant. The New Covenant was not instituted until after the Resurrection according to the Book of Hebrews. The Prayers in Ephesians were prayed by Paul for Believers in the New Covenant. Having grown up Catholic, I initially rejected this, but after praying the Prayers in Ephesians for 6 months for myself, my spiritual eyes were open.
The Our Father does not have:
1. The Name of Jesus
2. The Power of the Holy Spirit within
3. Christ as the head of the Church.
4. The Church as the Body of Christ
5. Revelation and Wisdom for Believers
6. Faith and Love within the Believer
7. Spiritual Growth
8. God Working inside us.
9. Spiritual Understanding
10. Authority over the devil in the name of Jesus.
11. God revealing your calling.

@@MrAlanKendalleven though im not good in English but at least i can tell you that the Catholic church teachings and the cathechism brought me out of drugs, out of fake holy spirit, fake speaking in tounges. and pretending miracles, and false testimony.i find it hard to believe how you prayed the rosary? I pray the rosary believing that mary can ask his beloved for my sake like in cana at the wedding, and I get blessing's because of respecting the blessed virgin believing that she is full of grace. My friend you cannot be a Christian because of bible alone, or bible verse alone, that was the problem of Martin Luther and that is very wrong. Many protestants and born again have made Christianity hard in islamic countries why ? because muslims sees them has people doing business they claim to heal,to give life to the dead which is like comedy they have never gone to hospital and make those miracles or mortuary to raise the dead. So to me catholism is the best we pray to mary not because she is God but because she is close to him she is filled with the holy spirit. If you moved from the church then its because you didn't give time to your self learning catholism and understanding the Church history.
"sola scriptura" is self-refuting, as it is never mentioned in the Bible.
Also because Christianity is older than the Bible as we know it
There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
- John 21:25 -
As long as we are talking about what is not in the Bible, pope, purgatory, praying to the dead, catholic, an earthly “Holy Father”
I could go on but I’m not trying to make anybody mad. The catholic church itself recognizes the Bible as the Holy, inerrant, inspired word of God.
The Bible says scripture contains everything we need.
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

When the thief was on the cross and asked Jesus for mercy what did Jesus say to him? Keep in mind the thief did not have time to get baptized with water or receive sacraments or do penance or say Hail Mary’s or our fathers. He was a sinner and in need of a Savior. What did Jesus say to him again? He said this day!! He said again this day you shall be with me in paradise!!! He did not say someday son after you served your time in purgatory. I rest my case
Christ hadn’t died yet, so he didn’t have to be baptized. Boom. Jesus literally commanded us to be baptized. He was still under the Old Law. We are bound by the Sacraments. God is not. Baptism washes away the stain of original sin. Baptism isn’t some “Optional, outward showing of an inward faith” as Brother Jim might tell you. I was Protestant for 15 YRS. There’s nothing there, bro.

Hello, I was raised Catholic all my life and attended mass but I always felt empty and wondered why God couldn't speak to me like He did to other people in the Bible. So I started to study the Bible and pray asking God to guide me. And I came to find the truth from God and that is only Jesus Christ is the only way to God. There is no such thing as Mary's intercessions or saints, purgatory or confession to priests. If you are searching for truth with your honest heart allow God to lead you and not man, because man errors many times Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jesus said, God is spirit and true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
Let the Lord lead you. John 4:23
Love in Christ. :)
@Antonio Gomez Hello Antonio Jesus said, go into all the world and preach the gospel. The gospel is simply that He came to seek and save the lost. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

Interprete it in your own way, Present your points and arguments to the people then one with the majority votes will decide but NEVER give powers to a group of people without participating. You don't just sit back.
@@leiluam Jesus established his church on the rock of faith, not a man, Peter.
Protestants talking about “not in the Bible” when they removed 7 books from it in the 1500s is so ironic.
"not in the bible" is dangerous argument to use by a non catholic to again a catholic because than who stop a muslim to ask where is trinity in bible exactly. Or where Jesus directly say he is the god and demand worship.
2:36 i was a muslim and just reading bible make me realise christianity is true and islam is false(thanks to old testament) soo here is a example for you. Me
Read you Bible there is trinity in the Bible..search for yourself..
@@tertiamartina2151 Read what i said you get it wrong. I didn't said bible don't have trinity i said bible don't said trinity.This two is seperated thinks. For example in genesis adam and eve heard a walking voice of god. They not just heard voice of god. They heard walking voice of god. Aka Jesus. Also again in genesis there is god in earth and same time god in heaven. There are more like that and new testament already filled with trinity. Problam is people merely looking the word of "trinity" in bible and fail. For example muslims ask where is trinity in bible because trinity word is not exist in bible. But that is dumb expectation to have because bible as i said earlier already filled with a ton of information about trinity. Hope you get it this time :D God bless you
Good for you. This is just my opinion, as long as your a good person, God would accept you. I have abandoned religion and pray to God above wholeheartedly and do my best to love and help others. 5 thousand hears ago, people have no religions, do you think God would send them to help just because they do not have a religion? God will accept anyone as long as he is just and good. This is just my opinion on the matter. Btw, yeah, Islam sucks. It is made by a fascist, pedo bandit warlord with dream of world domination using the name of God.
Missing the forest for the trees. There's nothing wrong with doctrines and traditions.... If they don't contradict the gospel of course, that's where the Roman Catholic Church fails. When we say "that is not biblical" it means that the doctrine you're teaching contradicts the gospel. The main one is how we get salvation. The bible clearly states that we get save by grace through faith. Is clearly stated that if is its by works grace is no longer grace. Catholism waters down the sacrifice of Jesus and what that sacrifice accomplish to the point of blasphemy.
@@Kopie0830 So you think you are a good person in Gods eyes? Then there would be no need for Jesus, the saviour. Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to you.
Whoever eat my flesh and drink my blood remains in me and I remain in him isn't it enough to understand Eucharistic thank you
Red Falcon -exactly, it is our faith in Christ alone that saves us... many other doctrines conflict this by adding works as a means of salvation which would mean Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross was insufficient.
-Romans 10:9-10 (ESV)
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.”
-Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV)
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
Red Falcon -I appreciate that, stay safe and God Bless!

TRADITION and TRUTH
In Colossians 2, Paul tells us to “see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8).
Tradition never outranks truth. Sure, some may call a certain view “Christian tradition” or certain idea a Christian “principle” or “rule.” But we should not worship at the feet of traditions, principles, or rules. Instead, we worship Jesus, who is the truth. We don’t need principles. We need the person of Christ. Christianity is not about rules. It’s about letting Christ rule.
We should not be suckers for the sales pitch of tradition when it clashes with the simple message of the cross and the resurrection. Don’t ever buy the idea that a belief is correct just because it’s old. We are as capable today of understanding God’s Word and of being taught by the Holy Spirit as anyone else in history, including the early church fathers.
How we are taught? By submitting to God’s Spirit and asking Him to teach us. We don’t need “ism.” We don’t need to follow along denominational lines. We don’t need to worry about being labeled or categorized as part of a movement. We simply need the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to the finished work of the cross, the power of resurrection, and what it means for us to walk in newness of life. 🙏❤️

Exactly! Poor catholic people. I’ve been there for 47 years and now i can see how dark their doctrine!
The Supreme Court analogy is actually the best argument against the Magesterium. We can look at the Constitution and it is obvious there is no such "right to privacy" and this was invented by the court to allow the murder of babies on the womb. Look at the horrid Dred Scott decision, and more. Instead, one with a conscience can look at the constitution and see how those decisions were great perversions, and live against them, lobbying for there to be a correction, just like the Reformers of the Reformation did with the Scriptures and the state of the Church at that time.
Screw the Supreme Courts they as re sell Catholics ! Thats why our government is in the shithole !

Welcome home!
You didn't and don't know your bible that's why you became catholic
1:14 I agree with you on that, catholics need to spend more time reading the bible themselves. I I was born and raised catholic. I attended the mass recited chapelets made all.my sacraments. But I can say grew up so much spiritually spending maximum 15 minutes a day in the bible, I begun by the new testament...I grew up much more doing this these last 5 years than in the rest of my life and I am 42 now. You get the truth, a better understanding of God's law and it becomes easier to accept God's directions on our lives. Honestly I recited so many chapelets in the last 20 years... it didnt bring me no more revelation on God than what I knew already, but everytime I read the bible I grow up spiritually. I find that catholics underestimate the bible that they say they gathered themselves. I discovered the beauty of the bible by actually reading it by myself. It is a whole other experience than listening to small excerpts during the mass.
true. jesus warned of making long repetitive prayers and being self righteous.
@@Kopie0830 Did you know that Jesus use repetive prayers in Garden of Getsemene... Do you think it is not long? Because he prayed there for hours repeating the same words... ALSO in revelation 4:8 , " Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come."
God bless you for your candor.
@@noelalmirante8982 Where in scripture does it say what you claim regarding the garden?
This is the interpretation of Revelation 4:8
John describes each of the four living creatures as having six wings. His description is reminiscent of Isaiah' description of the seraphim he saw above God's throne (Isaiah 6:2-3). Probably the living creatures, like the seraphim, use two wings to cover the face, two to cover the feet, and two to fly. The living creatures possess multiple eyes, emphasizing their guard duty. Also, they praise God day and night. They sing about God's holiness.
Perhaps their threefold repetition of His holiness is intended to extol the holiness of each of the three persons of the Trinity. The Bible refers to the Father as holy (John 17:11), to the Son as holy (Luke 1:35), and to the Spirit as holy (Ephesians 4:30). The living creatures' song of praise also extols God as eternal. They refer to Him as "who was and is and is to come." We, too, ought to praise God for His absolute holiness and eternal existence.
There is a distinct difference between vain repetition (rosary) and authentic worship.
@@nightshade99
Did you not know Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane repeating the same words to God the Father... in Matthew 26:36-56. He prayed there for 3 hours... and he is repeating his prayers using same words to God....
NOT just the word HOLY, "
BUT these words
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’[a]
who was, and is, and is to come.”
DAY AND NIGHT.... read Revelation 4:8 again
I am a Catholic and I worship Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. I was raised in a Catholic family from I was born. Catholic church never taught me to worship statues of Mary or Saints. We honor and love Mother Mary because she is Jesus mother who accompany His son till the end of Jesus life on the cross. We highly worship Jesus, many our special prayers and novena to worship Jesus and Holy spirit, some prayers were came from our Saints when they devote their life to Jesus. Please give some time to join our devotion to the sacred heart of Jesus on first friday, you'll see we how much we love Jesus in the highest ❤️❤️❤️
Nice to clarify misconceptions on Catholic Church
@@maryanne1296 it's the way to honour the memory of Jesus, Mary and Saints, sometime we pray in front of the statue as to pull back our memory about Jesus or Mother Mary and then we start the prayer aimed at Jesus or Mother Mary directly in our hearts. Statue just like a picture of the one who love who we put at our laptop background or android background to remember and to love the person
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." -II Peter 1:20-21
Our elders and Bible teacher expound on the scriptures. However, we do have to answer questions on a questionsheet in the discussion group class in person and online at present. We look up the answers ourselves during the week so we do have to make private interpretations on the Bible at times. Our Bible teacher is a facilitator not a person with the only opinion on scripture though he does add his opinion based on scripture sometimes. He realizes he is not perfect nor infallible. We often read through the verses mentioned at Chudh on Sundays also and can ask questions by email or text if necessary. However, we do read the scripture for ourselves a chapter at a time every or most nights. We are all part of the royal priesthood in the order of Melchezidech forever. Naturally we need godly men to help and guide us to understand scripture, but we are also to search the scriptures with a concordance or study tools for ourselves. We are going through 3 different books a portion at a time with three different preachers at Church on Sundays Matthew, Samuel and James.
There’s no private interpretation when you have the Holy Spirit as you actually live the Scripture. You become a witness of the Word. There’s no passivity when you’re a born again Christian.
1 Corinthians 15:1 - Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians 15:3 - For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians 15:4 - And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts 16:30 - And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved?
Acts 16:31 - And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy House.
Hebrews 10:14 - “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”
Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 4:30 - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Yes me too... :) Hello brother...
@Willo Lol is a PSYCHO stalker. He works for Google and likes to hack people's phones.
Thanks for the video. I am a Protestant & respect Catholics as brothers and sisters in Christ! Grew up catholic and my mother is still a practicing one. Just wanted to say some things!
You left out some important parts.
Luther developed the idea “sola scriptura” (and other ideas in his theses) on the basis of perverse power the Catholic Church held over its people. For example. getting them to pay their loved ones out of purgatory, the pope withholding salvation from people, etc. This is why scripture is important. Because if we don’t “test everything” like Paul says in 1 Thess. 5, we develop ideas we believe are truth when they are not. The books that “should” belong in the Bible have been debated for centuries. I trust in the 66 books Luther Reformed because either way, it all points to the gospel. (Which is the most important concept. Period)
no one asked, but here is why I’m no longer catholic.
* I am not convinced the Pope is the direct descendant of Peter. With that being said, the gates of hell have not prevailed over the church and won’t ever. (Matthew 16)
* Catholics killed people who translated the original Latin to other languages. If it weren’t for reformed theologians, we would not have the Bible in English today.
* I will not ask saints or Mary to intercede for me when I can directly go to Jesus or someone on earth I’m actually in relationship with.
* I don’t believe in transubstantiation even though the I believe the idea and concept is beautiful. Protestants do not take communion as serious as Catholics. & I love the fact that the body and blood is the center of the church in catholic parishes. Protestants must take notes.
* Martin Luther never wanted 40,000 denominations. He actually agreed with Catholicism in the big picture (the gospel) But to say the Catholic Church is the “original” church is ignorant. Paul’s letters date to 90AD where people were not considered “Catholics” but brothers and sisters in Christ. They met in houses and were persecuted. Not in cathedrals which are now tourist attractions.
Currently reading “Case for Catholicism” by Trent Horn. I really like his apologetics. I will let him convince me. Your comment trying to on RUclips probably will not. Lol
Final thing: I am a missionary. When someone believes in Jesus and cries out to them asking God to save them, We baptize them, give them a Bible, and begin to disciple them.
I don’t say, you have to be catholic because it’s right. To do so is not the heart of God to see everyone in the nations confess He is Lord and have true relationship with him. Catholicism is not the only way. Jesus is the way. The gospel is the way. I trust that.
Jesus is King.
@@MrKev1664
I know what purgatory is. Read what I wrote. Luther hated the idea of catholics withholding salvation and telling people to buy their loved ones out of purgatory. Hence, the reformation. He agreed with the gospel. But the Catholic Church became a church of power. Never what Jesus intended. I believe we must be perfect like Jesus says, and if purgatory is what does that, then I trust the Father's process.
You attack protestants like we are the enemy. There are lukewarm catholics that will end up in hell by just going through the rituals just like there will be lukewarm protestants in hell for the same thing.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Read Hebrews 11. I believe Jesus just like you my friend, our perspectives and interpretations of scripture are different.
God knows what we want before we ask, Matthew 6, so I will pray to my father. Jesus literally says, "pray like this" beginning with "our father." I will pray to the God of the universe alone.
We take communion. We eat the "body" and the "blood" of Jesus just like you do. Jesus took bread, and he took wine. Do you not see that Jesus used metaphors in his teachings all the time? That is how I interpret it.
Catholic Churches were not the original. It became established as a building and use of power in 325 AD. Jesus' apostles were the original church.
I am not open to guidance wherever it comes from because men are sinners and in need of Jesus. I will test everything to the Holy spirit and with scripture.
I teach Jesus is the only way to the father. I teach Jesus is the way to salvation. Then I give them SCRIPTURE to test everything in life and to hold fast to. A christian group in China who is persecuted for having church needs a doctrine to believe in, and that is Scripture. Not teachings outside of the bible based on feelings. A group in Africa who lives in a muslim country and will be killed for their faith. Do they need the Catholic Church to be saved? NO. They need the gospel. They need Jesus. They need the Father to save them. Their christian community is for support and for edification of the Father and one another.
I challenge you to go to a third world country or even to Europe (where 2% profess relationship with Jesus) and tell me that they need a Catholic Church for salvation. Especially in Europe where Catholicism was enormous, and now promotes a post christian culture. These people need Jesus and his word. (sola scriptura) and for the Father to save them. I preach the gospel and the gospel alone.
Good day.
MrKev1664 how about this. You stick to trying to promote religion on RUclips and I’ll share the good news of what the father did through Jesus and how the Holy Spirit is alive in us today all over the earth.
With the word of God as my foundation.
Good day.
MrKev1664
Sure I’ll share the gospel. Maybe you’ve never heard it.
God created everything you see. He created man and called it good. We had a perfect relationship with Yahweh. Yet we turned to our own desires, disobeyed God, and became separated from God. We missed the mark of perfection. Therefore, needed a way to be made right before him.
In order to be made right with God we needed to obey the laws God provided and live righteously to be with him.
But God, in his mercy, sent his only son, who is also God, to pay for our sins and give us a righteousness not our own and not by our own doing. Jesus, his son, died the death we deserve and fulfilled all of the laws and statues God demanded in the early days of his covenant with man. This covenant that God made with man was complete when he sent his son Jesus to die. This Covenant is an invitation to us now. If we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, and believe that he was raised back to life, then we will have salvation from our sin and from eternal death and separation from God. We will be made whole. Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin, so that we may become the righteousness of God.
God invites us into his original plan of perfection and relationship. But he also invites us to Go and tell all who are separated so that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and God of all.
Amen.
MrKev1664 MrKev1664 I’m done arguing with you.
Obviously you strive for relationship with Jesus. A relationship that gives up everything like his disciples in Matthew 4. I’ve done that my friend. I gave up everything to follow Jesus.
That’s where discipleship comes in. I SHOW people how to live once they accept Christ.
If you think I’m preaching a false gospel (which I certainly am not) then pray for me that God reveals the truth.
I think we are done here. Gods word is final.
MrKev1664 thanks for your information. I’ll keep that in mind.
Catholic and Orthodox teaching on Tradition is the same.
Tradition in the Orthodox Church
Edit
For the Orthodox Christian, there is one Tradition, the Tradition of the Church, incorporating the Scriptures and the teaching of the Fathers. As explained by Athanasius of Alexandria, "Let us look at the very tradition, teaching, and faith of the catholic Church from the very beginning, which the Logos gave (edoken), the Apostles preached (ekeryxan), and the Fathers preserved (ephylaxan). Upon this the Church is founded (tethemeliotai)"(St. Athanasius, "First Letter to Serapion", 28)[8]
Holy tradition for the Eastern Orthodox is the deposit of faith given by Jesus to the apostles and passed on in the Church from one generation to the next without addition, alteration, or subtraction. Vladimir Lossky described tradition as "the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church."[9] It is dynamic in application yet unchanging in dogma. It is growing in expression yet is always the same in essence. Rather, Orthodox believe tradition is that faith once delivered as understood within the context of lived history. Tradition is a gift of the Holy Spirit, a living experience, which is relived and renewed through time. Fr. Georges Florovsky wrote
"Tradition is not a principle striving to restore the past, using the past as a criterion for the present. Such a conception of tradition is rejected by history itself and by the consciousness of the Orthodox Church. Tradition is the constant abiding of the Spirit and not only the memory of words. Tradition is a charismatic, not a historical event". (Florovsky, Georges. "The Catholicity of the Church" in Bible, Church, Tradition, p. 47)[8]
Beautifully said!
Manuel Faelnar yes they both are the same and they both need to call on Jesus Christ and receive their free gift of forgiveness and salvation Luke 23:34-44 Romans 10:9-13. Everyone who calls on the name of Lord Jesus will be saved Call on Jesus now and be saved
Yes partly Hail Mary full of Grace is in the book of Luke...but where is the "Holy Mary Mother of God pray for sinners"found in the scripture?
Do you believe Jesus is God? Do you believe Mary is his mother? If so, you've answered your own question! Catholics don't believe Mary to be God the father's months but revere her as God the son's mother and ask her to pray for us in the same way we would ask a friend or family member to pray for us.
@@Diverso3000 Yeah, Mary gave birth to Jesus. Jesus is God in the flesh. Because she gave birth to his flesh doesnt mean anything. Only God omnipresent can hear our prayers. How can you ask mary to pray for you if she's not omnipresent? Brother I respect your doctrine.
@Jesusis Lord well said!
@Jesusis Lord Where are the people that operate in the gifts of the holy spirit. in the catholic church? That's how you learn the mysteries of the bible not by history or mans interpretation alone. Watch Sid roth here on youtube. He interviews people that operate in these gift's. This is supposed to happen in all the churches yet it doesn't.

People are being so mean in the comments, we’re all children of God, and we’re all made differently, this isn’t ok :(
This is just the attitude satan wants you to have. God's path to salvation is narrow and that is believing his son Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Man,(Catholics add their own interpretations) and even this priest says that men wrote the bible. God only allowed them to write what he wanted in the bible and for Catholics to add hoops to jump through is hypocrisy. So keep believing in a feel good religion at your own peril because God is a loving God but he is also a just God.
Wrong. You must believe in Jesus, repent, and be born again/have the Spirit of God. Acts 2:38
God gave you freedom to go where ever you want maybe is it right or wrong in your opinion.....
BrockLee dude what? That goes against everything Christians believe
Mark Trammell God is loving, but also leaves no room for interpretation? It’s all about intention my friend. I believe that Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox people will go to heaven. We are called to believe that Jesus died for us on the cross, and live a godly life with good intentions. I don’t think God is picky about the details (denominational differences), nor do I think it is acceptable to be malicious towards your brothers and sisters in Christ. Or malicious towards anyone period. We are called to peacefully direct people to God, and live by example. He’s also not “just” a God, he’s the Almighty Father, the one and only Lord.
Why wouldn’t you just stick to scripture and play it safe unless God directly tells you otherwise?
God told men, men told other men. Some men wrote it down (The Gospels & New Testament). The truth was spoken, and lived, before it was written.
Catholics and orthodox Christians can say the same to ALL Protestants

I chose my own Godmother, and I was baptized four days before my fifth birthday. I had to demand my mom, and step dad to grant my wish. My mom is not Catholic she grew up in a church / religion that I have never heard from. My step dad was worse because he didn't believe at all. He got baptized at his last days before dying at a church of Mouth Zion or something like that. Thank you Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to grow up and be a part of your Kingdom.

Please repent of that, you don't need their unbiblical beliefs... please read God's Word and pray for discernment and wisdom.
@@codymattison8189 unbiblical? watch the goddamn video smh
The true believers that Christ is the son of the living God, knows that the God of creation cannot be replaced by anyone on the earth. Not the pope or even the father of lies himself...That old serpent that weakens the nations!!!
Didn't Jesus Trust the 12 disciples to preach!?
Then how come you doubt!?
Sure Pope is like us, but he tries his best, he may not be perfect but he tries. And God forgives our sins... If God wants he can give someone authority to bless on his behalf! Scriptures teach this!
@Corneilius John Ami I sinless? Are YOU sinless?
We should not judge, otherwise we would also be judged...
@Corneilius John Geneva Bible wants to destroy us and Christianity! Does it have any idea?
We tend to chose sides, and that's what Geneva Bible has done I guess, But Christianity is nothing where you would chose sides! Because Christianity IS the side! The side of Christ and Salvation....
I am a researcher and I look for things to learn on of such things you mentioned. I need to research it. Now, can you tell me what does Geneva Bible says? And what does it mean? How did it came to the conclusion that the Pope is Satan/Evil/Devil? In what justification? What evidence does it provide for us for what it claims? Is the evidence sufficient?
We must be careful! Jesus told us, that we will know them by their fruits! So, Is the evidence convincing?
I need the answee of these questions from the Geneva Bible, I don't mean that you give me the answers, but can you point me in the direction?
I need clues, sources etc....
@Corneilius John I have done enough research to come to this point that Vatican preserves the teachings good and the documents well, and the Pope is the only line of a person that lead directly to the apostle of Jesus.... Which is very strong..... But other Churces divided themselves from the Universal church, is it good?
Sure Catholics have done wrong things along the way, but so did the apostles in their lives, and so did we..... Shouldn't we correct them instead of dividing ourselves?
You should know Martin Luther was not a good respectful person of the books of the Bible, he was like a rebel, he took what only clearly stated in Bible and considered that nothing else is needed... Sure may not be mandatory but does it mean it teaches that? It could teach more... I mean the Bible didn't end with short few pages! Did it?
So, there is a lot to learn...
There are people who cannot be trusted. I have seen people trust more the Thomas Gospel more than the originals, where by the early church fathers never recognized it to be a valid document written by the apostle Thomas, yet he was brainwashed!
I wanted to show him evidence but he wouldn't listen. Also he didn't even trust Paul. Lol... And the main shocking thing was that HE CONSIDERED HIMSELF TO BE CHRISTIAN!
So check if you have been brainwashed....
Or maybe not... Not necessary.
If you would like, you can give me the sources.....
Nor can He be replaced by a book.
Being raised Protestant I was shocked more how the Catholic faith has more truth than any Protestant religion .
You don't know truth if you think catholics have it. They worship pagan gods just with our creators name and his sons
I just heard another priest say why he left Catholicism. He said the book of acts is just as relevant today as it was back then. The men that were anointed to write through the gifts of the Holy Spirit were divinely inspired as it says in the Bible. Those words then are as relevant today as they were yesterday. Jesus Christ is the same today as he is yesterday and he will be tomorrow.
BE "DILIGENT"" IN OBSERVING MY COMMANDS SAYS THE LORD.
Yes. And the Lord Jesus says, only God is Good and Holy. Otherwise it's idolatry.
Which commandments are you talking about?
Thank you, & God bless you, as one who has recently converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism and coming from a large extended family that is all Protestant, this helps so much. I cannot thank you enough.
Welcome home.
What branch of Lutheranism did you come from? And what made you decide to convert?
WELCOME HOME!!!
AMEN!
@@bansheebrethren797 I’m very sad to hear this. May I suggest you read “Romanism and the Reformation” by Henry Grattan Guinness or any works by Guinness or by John Gill. There are hundreds of great theologians who expertly lay out the history and true beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. Read Foxe’s Book of the Martyrs that details hundreds of stories of people who died for their faith in Jesus at the torturous hands of the Roman Catholic Church. Sadly the huge wealth of the Vatican has managed to get controlling interest in most of our media and tech platforms and they have suppressed much of this information. The truth is the Roman Catholic Church and the papacy is the antichrist beast system prophecied in Revelation and the reformers as well as many great theologians throughout history knew this and claimed it to be so. Unfortunately so many of us don’t know history and we go off of videos such as this which are nothing but slanted opinion pieces and propaganda. I pray that God gives you the eyes to see and the ears to hear and that you dig a little deeper.
The trinity is absolutely explained in the Bible, and it needs no tradition or mans interpretation to explain that it’s a trinity and obvious.
1 John 5:7 (KJV)
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Aka the hypostatic union of Christ becoming God man for us. Word from hypotunase
The trinity is declared in the first two verses of the Bible. It's in Hebrew.
The triune nature of God is revealed in Genesis 1:1-2.
Genesis1:1 in the beginning Elohim created...
Eloah is God in Hebrew, the 'im' on the end indicates plurality, however, this word for God is always paired with a singular verb, indicating the plurality within the singular.
There is an untranslated word in Genesis 1:1 and that is et/אֵ֥ת. אֵ֥ת, is comprised of the letters Alef Tav, this is a Hebrew concept of completeness.
In the oldest form of Hebrew writing, Paleo Hebrew Pictograph, the אֵ֥/Alef was signified by an Ox head. Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox. The KJV oddly inserts unicorn for ox but the Hebrew word is RE'EM which is a now an extinct extremely large wild bovine with horns, an Ox.
ת/Tav, the last letter of the Hebrew alefbet means mark, covenant, tent peg or nail. It was written with the symbol of two crossed sticks and was originally written upright like a cross, approximately 11centuries before the first Roman crucifixion.
Jesus says in Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
John was a Jew who came to faith in Christ through his apostleship with Christ. He wrote Revelations in Hebrew.
It would have read, "I am the Alef and the Tav..."
The Ruach Elohim/ The Holy Spirit:
Genesis 1:2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
In Genesis1:1-2 from the beginning of time God/Elohim declares his triune nature.
We are Christians that’s why we only pray to god god changed my life and helped me so so much thank u god so much for helping me 😇
One lord, one faith, one baptism.

If a Protestant says "That's not in the Bible." I reply, "Your Bible is missing 7 books. Unless we are using the Catholic Bible, discussing doctrine will only lead to frustration for both of us. Would you like a copy?"
YOUR Bible doesn't contain the Book of Enoch and it removed the book of Jasher both of which Jesus and his disciples quoted.
The canon of the Protestant Bible totals 66 books-39 Old Testament (OT) and 27 (NT)
the Catholic Bible numbers 73 books (46 OT, 27 NT),
the Greek and Russian Orthodox, 79 (52 OT, 27 NT)
the Ethiopian Orthodox, 81 (54 OT, 27 NT.)
What is your point? You have a cannon, not THE cannon, not the COMPLETE cannon.
The Catholic church didn't write the Bible, they just gathered scripture and burnt every piece of scripture that they could get their hands on, if they didn't agree with it. That doesn't exactly inspire confidence, now does it?
@@juliemckenzie5960 I would love to see some evidence on that book burning claim, but a funny bird on my shoulder told me I might be waiting a very long time for that. Unless of course you mean the burning of Sorcery scrolls at Ephesus by the apostles, in which case you are also OK with that, being a protestant I assume. Moreover on the second point, the Catholic church does have THE canon, as it was created at the behest of the successors of the Apostles. Now you may not agree that makes it authoritative, however what authority does your church have? And before you claim Jesus remember the catholic church has Jesus as well. The Catholic church also has the authority of Peter who was given his authority BY Jesus. So we have Jesus, the Apostles, the successors, and tradition as well, and you claim Jesus but you also have... Bob the local hardware guy who had a near death experience? Suzy who once heard the voice of God and claimed that's how she knows grandma is in heaven? Or perhaps the local preacher who can slap the devils right outta' ya! Hallelujah! In a world of Faith that we base on the evidence of Christ and His church as founded by scripture, your evidence is lacking, your earthly authority is non-existent, and therefor your "canon" seems to be intellectually dishonest.
The bible is, was and will always be a Catholic book, containing the inspired word of God, gathered and created Canon in the authority that Christ placed into the hands of the Apostles. Please join us at mass some time, end your protest and come back to the church. God bless you.

@@jeremyhill9720 point is no matter how much you think catholic is the way to heaven it’s false. No where in scripture does it say pray the rosary for example or that Mary can intercede in prayers. Come to the real truth and follow Jesus and what he teaches. ”Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“

@@dorsw2402 "All Scripture," not "Only Scripture." There isn't a single Catholic on the planet who would disagree with that statement
@M J 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says, "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter." This pretty explicitly says that not everything the Apostles taught was written down. They said some important things too. Jesus and His Apostles refer several times to things that happened in Old Testament times, but that aren't actually written in any OT Scriptures, so clearly Jesus and His Disciples understood the symbiotic relationship between the Scriptures and oral traditions. But here's the thing that topples your entire house of cards: I don't have to use the Bible to show where extra-Biblical teachings are valid. I can, and I just did, but I don't have to. You, only the other hand, do have to be able to use the Bible to show where the Bible says that only the Bible has God-given truth in it.

@@SoSo-et5cd why do you think criticism is considered hatred?
Catholic teachings don't have to be in the bible. Saint Paul said hold on to the traditions you have been given whether by word of mouth or by epistle.
Scripture also says that jesus said many more things and performed many more miracles that weren't written. So many that it would fill a library were it written.
Enough said
TheJhockman but you can find almost all the Catholic teachings in the bible
@Jackie Treehorn the Catholic church doesn't teach the literalism of adam anf eve and a talking snake. The Catholic church teaches the genres of different passages and the story of adam and eve is within the Catholic church taught to be the genre of epic poetry. Enough said.
@Jackie Treehorn in fact the Catholic church teaches that evolution is a valid belief and is allowed as a belief within the church as long as the believing person still also believes I the existence of a human soul.
@Jackie Treehorn your argument is invalid. Even psychiatrists protect the secrecy of abusers and other dangerous people unless of course three person there was court ordered. It's not only the Catholic church. However on the other hand another reason your argument is invalid is that while a priest may be sworn to secrecy, turning oneself in for illegal crimes will usually be given to said person as part of pennance otherwise forgiveness may not be offered. If someone is Catholic Enough to confess their sins to a priest for forgiveness then theyare aware already that penance is a requirement for valid forgiveness. Therefore if said person is Catholic then they are also aware that if three prescribed pennance is broken then forgiveness is not given. That being said only valid catholics are allowed into confession. The priest may not directly snitch but a person is not entirely protected. If a person continuously lives in mortal sin by choice excommunication can be a punishment and according to Catholic doctrine if you arent in communion with the church then you are hellbound. Try again
The issue with something not specifically mentioned in the Bible is it becomes hard to defend. While most Catholic doctrines are grounded in scriptures some practices such as excessive focus on Mary and saints to the extent of entrusting our souls to her/them is troublesome and hard to justify.
Most Catholics cannot go beyond the rosary and are dull when it comes to the Word of God. Jesus left us the Holy Sprit (not Mary) because of Whom we are not orphans. They miss out on the love of God, the power of His promises, claims to healings, authority to bind and loose. etc.
Catholics please buy a Bible, read the Word of God, memorize and meditate on His Word. A time of famine for His Word is coming.
Agree with you.
There is no justification for Catholicism and its egregious practices/teachings. They are a diabolical institution of lies and wicked deeds.
@@MatthewChristn I wouldn't go that far. The Bible you hold in your hands and the doctrines you know of have come from early church fathers who were all Catholics.
Therefore there are so many denominations bc man puts his own spin on church should be not on the scripture
On the doctrine of the Trinity, interestingly enough, probably most Christian denominations accept it as true and revealed in scripture, even though it is not explicitly stated.
Eric Danver Music Isn’t that quote a textual variant added later?
Tim Richardson it may not explicitly be stated but it is there all over scripture, you just have to put the pieces together. I’m speaking as a Lutheran, and we accept the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds because they clearly align with Scripture. I wouldn’t even say it is merely IMPLICIT in scripture since all the scriptural evidences for the Trinity are actually clear, explicit statements in and of themselves.
@Eric Danver Music I was actually alerted by a Muslim about that being a variant lol. I used it as a defense of the Trinity in discussion with them, and they jumped all over it. Newer translations of the Bible in fact have left this verse out, since they seem to have gathered more evidence that it was a later addition to the text. Oh well :(
Eric Danver Music I was actually referring to the “these three are one” verse. But that’s interesting nonetheless!

Mary, while blessed, was fully human. It is IDOL worship and a sin to pray to her or try to communicate with a dead human (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)

no one is seeking God.

I'll never understand how Catholics can make the claim that, "the early church did this or that" and then ignore that the Catholic Church of today is nothing like the early church. Roll back everything to the day that Christ ascended up into heaven and you'll find a church that is more protestant than Catholic. There is nothing in the Bible about praying to Mary. If it was such a big deal, Jesus would have said so when He was here. Catholics make it seem that praying to the dead was something that was of huge importance 1,000's of years ago and yet we never see Moses do it, or the prophets or Paul do it. As far as Mary being full of grace...where in the Bible does it say, "Okay, repeat that statement several times over and over again." Is Mary deaf and you have to keep repeating the same thing over and over? Why not just pray to God? If you actually believe that Mary can do something about it then why not just say at the end of your prayer to God, "Oh, Mary, can you tell God what you heard me pray. Just in case God didn't hear me?". Just roll everything back to when Christ went into Heaven and then show how the early church then did everything that the Catholic Church does now. You can't. The early church and the Catholic Church of today are two very different belief systems.
@Strong Si Matatag macabees is invalid and luke 1:42 is describing how elizabeth feels honored to be in the presence of the mother of Jesus…i don’t exactly get why you’re referencing it as it has nothing to do with praying to Mary or Mary being higher than anyone else

@Strong Si Matatag oh, ok then, thanks for the answer...
Some of the Bibles y’all have don’t have all the Books
@Strong Si Matatag praying to Saints isn’t really something u have to do but they are basically role models :)
The irony is that everyone assumes that what they believe is somehow from scripture, and they are usually correct. However, that doesn't mean scripture actually explicitly states what they believe. Most of the time, specific doctrines are developed from conclusions drawn based either on single verses in isolation of their context, or a cobbling together of several unrelated verses, all of which were lifted from their context. In the end, most of what we believe, whether we're Protestants, Catholics, or whatever, is likely incorrect in some way, because as much as we'd like it to, scripture doesn't speak with one single voice on any given topic.
Kevin Burgess Good point. Do you think it’s impossible for there to find the correct doctrines, or beliefs? Or are some denominations closer to the correct beliefs but not right through and through?
I don’t know about your Catholicism but here in the Philippines, for some reason they made it hard to follow God, all those prayers to the saints, prayers to the angels, prayers to Mary, practices during holy week - so much confusion on who to pray, what to do. There is only one saviour and he is Jesus Christ, our relationship to him is more important and the rest will follow suit. We can approach the throne of God through Jesus just like any other human being.

@Barrysthenics We consider the faithful of the OLDs like MOSES and AARON "Saints of the OLD".... in Garden of Getsemane, in Jesus PRAYING MOMENT, Moses and Aaron were there TALKING to Jesus... Is it not Praying? Why are you restricting yourself from praying to Saints well infact Jesus is doing it... And if you dont know Praying is not equal to WORSHIPPING... Praying is also talking to someone. Praying has different types according to the bible if you dont know... Your pastor is only teaching you that if you Pray go directly to the LORD... I may say true but incomplete that is not the true definition according to the bible, partly YES... because Prayer has different meaning according to the bible.
@Barrysthenics Do you think the SAINTS STOPS GROWING IN NUMBERS AFTER APOSTOLIC AGE? no... As the members increases the Saints also increases... The CHURCH has the AUTHORITY (Matthew 16: 13-20 ) At the Name of Jesus Christ The Church has the authority to canonized a saint.... whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Also in Revelation 5 John saw saints praying in heavens the martyred Christians and believer of Christ praying for US.
"So I Think The Saints That Are Made Up In Catholic Church Are Dead "
True is made of the CHURCH but by the AUTHORITY given by Jesus.... but Definitely not DEAD.... because in Luke 20:38 It says "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him ALL ARE ALIVE.”
@Barrysthenics They are not alive if it is not manifesting miracles. If there are many miracles and miraculous attributes from the testimonies of Christians nowadays, A candidate can be process according to deliberation of the church for sainthood --- it has process to undergo.
As per God all are alive even though they are dead seperated from their bodies, their relics (body parts or things they own) still performing miracles... LIKE in tne bible the BONE of ELISHA make the dead man alive when it touches the bones of elisha 2 Kings 13: 20-21.
2 Peter 1:20-21 KJV
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. [21] For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
So we don't need God to explain His word to us and let Him reveal Himself to us, but we need other people to tell is that. So no intimate relationship with the father is necessary, or revelation of the Holy Ghost.. just to follow rules told by men..
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Where does it unequivocally state, in the Bible, that you have to find EVERYTHING in the Bible. There was no bible for over 400 years! It didn’t fall from heaven like manna.

Tertullian clarified his understanding of the Lord’s Table by noting that the bread and the cup were symbols of Christ’s body and blood. In that same vein, we find that many of the church fathers similarly clarified their understanding of the eucharist by describing it in symbolic and spiritual terms.
At times, they echoed the language of Christ (e.g. "This is My body" and "This is My blood") when describing the Lord's Table. Yet, in other places, it becomes clear that they intended this language to be ultimately understood in spiritual and symbolic terms. Here are a number of examples that demonstrate this point:
The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever.
Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70).
Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2).
Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57).
Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7).
Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel:
For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80).
Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19)
Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8).
He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1).
And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24).
A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.
To be sure, they often reiterated the language of Christ when He said, “This is My body” and “This is My blood.” They especially used such language in defending the reality of His incarnation against Gnostic, docetic heretics who denied the reality of Christ's physical body.
At the same time, however, they clarified their understanding of the Lord’s Table by further explaining that they ultimately recognized the elements of the Lord's Table to be symbols-figures which represented
and commemorated the physical reality of our Lord’s body and blood.

The important thing is to hear what can saves you. After it depend on the love and understanding you can put in.
@27foe esxlvx0 which one specifically?
@27foe esxlvx0 , me too! Born into the Catholic faith. Baptized as a babe. Confirmed as a teenager. Spent 12 years in Catholic school. Funnily enough, Catholics never read the Bible, only in church. That's because they need someone else to interpret it for them. I left Catholic school thinking that there were many roads to God, not just Yeshua. I entered college a wicked sinner who thought I was a godly person. I couldn't have been more wrong. I spent the next few years racking up sins. Shortly after college, I went looking for the Truth. I didn't know at the time that Truth had a name. It's Yeshua.
Praise Him! He called me out of the church. I will never forget the moment I was born again. I never knew what it meant, until then. In a instant everything I believed changed. Everything I thought was true was revealed as a lie. I had never felt the presence of God until that moment. I was alone in my car, and I just knew that Yeshua was the only way! The Holy Spirit came into my heart, and I have never been the same.
I don't think it's possible for Catholics to be born again, and still be Catholic. Born again means you change. Everything you believe is revealed as a lie, and you realize only Yeshua is Truth. Catholics think they're the only ones with the truth, so I don't think as a whole they will humble themselves. Just an opinion.
Looking back, it really makes me upset that catholicism claims to hold the keys to heaven, yet not a single Catholic knows where they will end up. If catholicism holds the keys to heaven, why won't they tell their congregants how to get there?
I do think it's funny that the priest admitted: "everything one needs for salvation can be found in Scripture." Yup! So why would anyone need the Catholic church? Do Catholics really believe that a church that is a political power, and has spent centuries murdering people and molesting children, mostly boys, is the church God chose for His own?
Catholic means universal. God's church isn't a denomination. It's the true followers of Yeshua all over the world.
Jesus shed blood saves you, if you believe and follow HIM'

@@AGR091 Catholics do not worship the Virgin Mary. That was easy
After getting my doctorate in literature and philosophy, after teaching about literary interpretation, after reading and reading post-structuralist literary deconstruction, after completely understanding interpretative communities that share common cultural tools, after going in depth in post-marxist critique of ideologies that create a worldview from which one seems and analizes the world, including texts, after learning of the impossibility to not be influenced by ideologies in our conciousness, after learning that there is not an extra-ideological conciousness from which to see the world, becoming concious of the limits of my own historical conciousness mediated by our current available vocabulary and ideologies, I had to humbly accept that the Church is right. We need a magisterium based on tradition to avoid our historical ideologies to become intertwined with our faith even when we think nothing mediates the text and us.
Traditions don't save anyone
@@AnnetteMurphyger Exactly! That is why never rely on any tradition, but the only Sacred Tradition. It is impossible to avoid getting our contemporary ideologies intertwine with the text we read. In fact, reading the Sacred Scripture without Sacred Tradition is actually a new tradition, a tradition of man. This latter form of reading creates specific interpretative communities entirely detached from the context in which the Scared Scripture was written. Without this context upon which to sustain the correct interpretation, these communities import their contemporary ideologies into the text. You can learn all this in any literary theory course in your English department. Contemporary ideologies, then, mediates the text when we think nothing lies between the reader and the written word. In fact, the more we think we understand the meaning of a decontextualized text, the more we add to the text than we think: our conciousness is the result of many assumed ideologies that we are practically importing our own meaning into any text. Therefore, I have to agree with you: this new tradition is very dangerous. Greetings!
@@AnnetteMurphyger
And before the Bible was written the only way was Tradition to spread the word of God!
@@xtreme_survival7879yes, but Christian tradition not that of man. Oral tradition and eye witness testimonies were used by the 4 Evangelists to write the Gospels.
@@AnnetteMurphyger It was the apostles themselves who intended to preserve tradition, so that it could be given to the generations to come, 2 thessalonians 2:15, 1 Timothy 3:14-15.
On the road to Emmaus, and then later in Jerusalem, Christ gave disciples and apostles all the scriptural typology that predates but points to Him. We know that because it's in the Bible. But the interpretations themselves aren't provided. So here we have scriptural proof of revelation not captured in Sacred Scripture.
Paul miller
The interpretations where always in it but they couldnt see it untill christ opened there eyes.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
I hope by this verse God reveals something to you... but I love the confession though, that some of what Catholics are following are not in the Holy Bible.
I also hope that you see the circular logic of using the Bible to justify the Bible.
Breaking In The Habit I also hope that you find confidence in the Word of God in the bible. Biblical knowledge supersedes logic and human wisdom...
Take this verse and reflect.
The Lord has said: "These people praise me with their words, but they never really think about me. They worship me by repeating rules made up by humans. So once again I will do things that shock and amaze them, and I will destroy the wisdom of those who claim to know and understand." (Is 29:13-14 CEV)
Domino Puson Clearer in the KJV. Much clearer. But I do agree wholeheartedly with your comments.
The Scriptures as we have today didn't come from one source (writers).
Does it mean then the Holy Spirit dictated it 🤔
If so, why are the differences of contents in the four books of Gospels 🤔
Which means either of them is lying (Holy Spirit or the writers).
By the way, the Bible didn't come first. It's the Church whose members wrote the 27 NT books and who DECIDED the books as CANONICAL and fruits of the INSPIRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
It was only after this that the Jews decided their Canon of the Books and removed the 9 OT books.
The separated brothers (protestants) agreed to the books decided by the Jews in the early 16th century.
Kindly read the Gospel written by St. Luke 1:1-4 to know the meaning of Tradition.
But you know that when Paul wrote these lines, the word "Scriptures" meant the Old Testament, since the Gospels had not even been written yet and that for him, his epistles were merely letters? And who has declared with authority that these books and letters were inspired by God? The successors of the Apostles, the bishops.
I wonder if all of the people who commented the video actually saw it 🤔 But anyway thank you very much for this great teaching 🕊️
Of course we saw it but the examples he gave alone were bogus....I would explain my pov if you'd like but many would rather listen to a priest rather than the word of jesus, who personally I feel trump's any of these blind men
@@adrieldavis your full of bs , we wrote the word of christ down we put the bible together and we kept the word alive. Get your Lutheran bs out of here.
@@danielanthony256 what are you talking about....the examples he gave were further interpreted...like for example the hail Mary....never once....she was basically thanked and bless but never praised. Do the words "pray to none but me" mean nothing or that just includes whoever you decide earned it enough?
Also...you're saying Catholics did all this right? I dunno where Catholics came from then it's Christians who are quoted in the book...I don't fall under any denominations sorry...I'm a follower of Jesus and his words
@@adrieldavis NB: I’m not here to have a debate. But if you’re being of good faith, I’m just fraternally giving you suggestions you are free to follow.
First, you understand that “Catholic” means universal right? As it is written in the Apostles' Creed (followed by Catholics, Orthodoxs and Protestants… Maybe not by Christian sects, I don’t know) we, Christians, all believe in “the holy catholic Church”.
Then, I think that what Daniel said, was that what you consider to be the Words of Jesus (and you are right) comes from the Bible as it was defined by the Catholic Church in the 4th century (then, ok, Luther decided to delate some books from the Old Testament ; but even if he hesitated, he kept everything of the New Testament).
So, if you do not trust the Church leaders, and want to maximize your chances of following the Words of Jesus, independently from any structure, here is what you should do : 1/ Read all the Gospels, including those of the Apocrypha, to decide what Gospels YOU think are reliable to follow (that is basically a Protestant demarche, to follow what you think Jesus want you to, without considering other forms of hierarchy : even your pastor, right ?) 2/ Decide if you can trust all books from the New Testament, for instance the Apocalypse (we are not sure which John wrote it) or the letters of Saint Paul, as he is not just repeating Jesus words but also interpreting them - interpretations that Saint Peter and Saint James discussed. If you think Paul is reliable, and you’d be right, then also read (as did Luther) works from the very first Christians: texts from the Church Fathers, letters from Saint Clement of Rome, the Didache, etc. And you should also recognize that, in many ways, you need “pastors” (in the letteral sense) to help you follow the way to the Lord. Then, if you are sincere, you might understand what Catholicism is about.
Finally, when you’re talking about Mary, I think you were referring to the 10 Commandments, and that you meant “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”, and we all agree, so there is nothing to discuss.
Probably not.
I really enjoy this video. Thank you as I’m Protestant and slowly but very surely converting to Catholicism.❤️ I can’t wait for confirmation.😊

WHEN JESUS TOLD PETER “AND UPON THIS ROCK, I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH” JESUS WAS SPEAKING TO PETER ABOUT HIMSELF, NOT ABOUT PETER! MATTHEW 16:18….JESUS, THE ROCK!..NOT PETER! HE WAS TALKING TO PETER ABOUT HIMSELF, WHILE LOOKING AT PETER ! DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT GOD WOULD BUILD HIS CHURCH ON MORTAL MAN ????
[2] IN EVERY CATHOLIC CHURCH, PRAYERS TO MARY AND THE ‘SAINTS” ARE ENCOURGED..YET THIS IS NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE. IN FACT, THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE! JOHN 14:6..WE ARE TO PRAY ONLY TO JESUS, THE FATHER, AND TO THE HOLY SPIRIT..NO WHERE ARE WE TO PRAY TO MEN ! NO WHERE IN OLD OR NEW TESTAMENT!!! THAT IS BLASPHEMY!
[3] FOR OVER 100’S OF YEARS, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, PRAYED ONLY IN LATIN, A DEAD LANGUAGE, UP AND UNTIL 1965 OR AROUND THAT TIME, ACROSS THE ENTIRE WORD! FEW PEOPLE HAD A CLUE AS TO WHAT ANY PRIEST WAS SAYING !!!!!
[4] THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ACTUALLY HELPED HIDE NAZI WAR CRIMINALS GO TO SOUTH AMERICA, AFTER THE WAR, PARTICULARLY TO ARGENTINA.
[5] THE SPANISH INQUISITION 1478 TO 1834, ORDAINED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, MURDERED, TORTURED, NOT THOUSAND’S, BUT MILLIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE DURING THOSE YEARS!!!….. EASY ENOUGH TO PROVE…….. GO ON LINE !
[6] THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, FOR 100,S OF YEARS, PARADED DEAD MEN’S BONES “THEIR SAINTS” AND RELIC’S, ACROSS THE STREETS OF THE ENTIRE WORLD TO WORSHIP !! …UP UNTIL THE 1960’S.. I HAVE SEEN THIS ACTUALLY HAPPEN !
{7} THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OPENLY STATES THAT FAITH PLUS WORKS, WILL BE THE KEY TO ALL TO ENTER HEAVEN. NOT SO!!!! PLEASE REFER TO THE BOOK OF EPHASIANS CHAPTER 2: 8,9…..WORD FOR WORD ! ..IT S BY FAITH ALONE ! GOOD DEEDS WILL NOT SAVE YOU!! IF HEAVEN IS A PERFECT PLACE, JUST ONE SIN WILL KEEP YOU OUT !
{8} THE HOLY BIBLE VERY CLEARLY STATES TO CALL NO MAN YOUR “FATHER”. THAT TITLE IS ONLY TO BE USED BY HONORING GOD, WHO IS YOUR FATHER!!..WORD FOR WORD IN THE HOLY BIBLE! MATTHEW 23:9

YET, THE HOLY BIBLE VERY CLEARLY STATES THAT “IT IS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE, THAT GOD HIMSELF WILL PROVIDE A HELP MATE ‘WIFE” SUITABLE FOR HIM"….GENISIS 2:19. THIS IS THE VERY REASON EXCATLY WHY CATHOLIC PRIEST ARE CAUGHT WORLD WIDE, IN SEXUAL SIN ! GOD MADE US SEXAUL CREATURES, NOT TO BE ALONE ! IT IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE!!!
[10} THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS TWISTED HOLY SCRIPYURE FOR YEARS! JUST ONE EXAMPLE. THEY HAVE PRONUNCED FOR YEARS THAT THE 5TH COMMANDMENT STATES “THOU SHALL NOT KILL” THAT IS A LIE! IT CORRECTLY READS “THOU SHALL NOT MURDER” THE LORD GOD COMMANDED HIM SELF TO KILL ENTIRE CITIES IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY 20:16..THAT INCLUDED MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ! READ IT YOURSELF!

Many people's problem is that they think God is a religion. Read your Bible first, so nodoby can teach you wrong things and beliefs.
Agreed. We need better catechesis. St Joseph, pray for us.
Yes many qre getting side tracked
Test
The Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit, if many churches are correct. If many churches are correct, The Trinity is a Family-- two Parents and a Progeny, just like a human family.(Humans are created in the "image" and "likeness" of God according to Genesis 1:26) In the book of Job, which is part of the Bible, the Lord is compared to a father and also a mother with a womb "From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?"-Job 38:29. Because God can also be thought of like a mother (Isaiah 42:14, Isaiah 66:13, Matthew 23:37), all three roles (father,mother,progeny) in a basic human family are filled in the Trinity. Saying the Father and the Son are Parents of the Holy Spirit is simply another way of saying "the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son" which has been official Catholic doctrine for centuries. The Church teaches that the Son is begotten from the Father. If this is true, the Father is the Father (Parent)of the Son. The Church teaches that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. If this is true, the Father and the Son are the Parents of the Holy Spirit. Of course, the scriptures are vague if the Holy Spirit is the 3rd or 2nd Person of the Trinity, whichever of these is true, the 1st and the 2nd may be the Parents of the 3rd. Parent definition 1 from Merriam-Webster dictionary: one that begets or brings forth offspring.

Do not put traditions of man over Gods word

And yet, Faith Alone is a man's traditions being put over God's Word, which explicitly contradicts that
Exactly what Jesus Christ told the Pharisees, Catholics are modern day Pharisees who nullify to power of the word of Jehovah God with their traditions!.
As a person who is seriously considering Catholicism I appreciate this video. Although, I disagree with the example of the Trinity as not being mentioned in the Bible. 1 John 5:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV)
For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.
It's interesting that Paul was traveling the globe "convincing" people of the truth in Scripture rather than "asserting" his interpretive authority. Why were the bereans scripturally commended for checking for the truth themselves if we're supposed to submit to the priest's interpretation with no questions asked?
The only Scripture that St. Paul could be referring to, whether convincing or asserting, was the old Testament. His own letters were the first things written in the New Testament, and almost everything else was written after his death. It was only from the authority of the Church that he was forming that Scripture actually came about.
@@BreakingInTheHabit How does your response address my comment? I don't see the connection?
I'm sorry, but I'm a bit confused by your question. The Catholic Church does not say that one is supposed to "submit to the priest's interpretation with no questions asked." That is not how we approach faith, authority, or scripture.
@@BreakingInTheHabit Please clarify. I was under the impression that Scripture cannot be properly interpreted outside of what the catholic leaders assert. That's incorrect?
I've never heard that before. Each Christian must make it an important part of their lives to read Scripture, but privately and communally. Now, that doesn't mean that we believe that every personal interpretation is correct. That's why we have the Church. We come together, and with the help of others (including priests, scholars, and catechists) try to come to an understanding of scripture. But that does not mean that priests have the only answer or that priests can never be wrong.
ON MARY BEEN PRAISED AND VENERATED
Luke 11:27-28
"As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed! But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”(This is Jesus downplaying the importance of mary in bringing him to earth)
Jeremiah 7:18 "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger" (in reference to mary been falsely called as queen of heaven shows the worship or reverence of these godess is ancient and pagan)
ON PRAYER IN GENERAL
Matthew 6:9 ""This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" (this is Jesus teaching his disciples on prayer nowhere does he mention the importance of praying to his mother for graces or protection)
Ephesians 6:18 "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people." (This is one of Paul's numerous teachings on prayer there's just no sign of rosary or mary)
ON MARY BEEN SEEN AS MEDIATOR OR AS A NECCESSARY INTERCESSOR
1 timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus"
Romans 8:26 " Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words"
Hebrews 7:25 "Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them."
ON PRAYING TO DEAD PEOPLE AND ADRESSING SAINTHOOD
Romans 1:7 "To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Shows who is a saint. Its not some process the Vatican makes. Its everyone who loves God and Beleives in Jesus christ)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Thessalonians 4:17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"(shows there is no one alive in any heaven. This is paul speaking years after the resurrection of christ. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about this too)
ON WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE SAVED
Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"(this is wjat is needed baptism is the final confirmation. No where do we see you need to be baptized first to be saved or you need to be baptized by any specific church)
Mark 16:16 "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned" (as you can see Beleiving is the emphasis and tue consequences of not Beleiving is the main topic not being baptized. When you Beleive tobbe baptized woukd be the least of problems)
Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”(He gave this commission to his disciples that is all who were following him. Not to any church organization)
ON THE MEANING OF THE CHURCH, WHAT THE CHURCH DID WHEN THEY MET AND CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
1 Corinthians12:13 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and all were made to drink of one Spirit" (This talks about how one becames part of the body of christ and that is true his spirit. How does one receive the spirit, acts 2:38 "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy spirit")
Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (This is quite clear)
1 Corinthians 14:26 "What then shall we say, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each of you has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. Everything must be done so that the church may be built up." (This is what we should do when we come together we don't see this in the RCC and to be fair many protestant and orthodox churches as well, paul teaches we all have different gifts and different things to contribute to the growth of one another. Today the opposite is the case. Its usually one head man or gis subordinates in different branches of an organization calling the shots)
Titus 1:5-6" For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient"
1 timothy 3:1-6" This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity"(requirements for being a bishop/elder of a local congregation. No where do we see that they must not be married or celibate. This is falsehood the Catholic Church forces on its clergy(whom they call priest btw)
Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.(Like many of the protestant churches the Catholic Church barely or doesn't recognize these gifts. Instead it has its strange hierarchical structure of priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and finally the pope who has a pagan title pontifux maximus and vicar of christ meaning representative of Christ. This is who Jesus said was his representative on earth. John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you" no one man is representative of christ only his spirit. The argument of Peter is forced in. Peter was a spokesman quite alright but he never assumed any authority as head of christs church that title belongs to Christ alone Collosians 1:17-18 "And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" Theres little evidence peter was in rome and peter for sure wasn't called papa nor did he have a papal palace not did he decree papal bulls. These are all strange to the new testament church)
Finally the churches in the new testament were local congregations with elders or bishops they did not have any subordination to rome or some pope somewhere. They only had subordination to Christ. The bishop or elder was appointed for guiding the people in the right direction.
AMEN Amen Amen Bless you
AMEN and God Bless
On your analysis of 1 thes 4:17 concerning none "being alive in any heaven", please consider Jesus's response to the thief on the cross "today you will be with me in paradise" and also the ascension where he speaks with Moses and Elijah.
Peace in Christ
@@ernestliddle6915 Once again you look at scriptures and twist them to suit your narrative. Neither christ nor Paul nor any apostle taught that Mary or anyone for that matter ascended anywhere. You are just all over the place desperate to uphold the falsehood taught to you by the RCC

That also means your leaving a faith you previously considered the faith.

An analogy i liked is "You listen to your Mother, since she's seen far more than you". And well.... You have the mother church
"Unless you eat my body, and drink my blood, you have no life in you"
Does that not matter?.
@saladdogger Over 7000 times, since I was 7 years old..I am now 75; and in seemingly very healthy. The life one gets within, as promised by our Lord, keeps us happy and at peace.
@saladdogger Actually, it's very easy to explain...
There are around 1,5 billion Catholics around the world, and it would take a very long time if everyone would receive both the body, and the blood separately. There wound also be the danger of spilling some on the floor.
But the Church teaches that the Eucharist is the body, blood soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. So; the body contains the blood as well.
When the priest present the consecrated bread to the recipient; he says: "The body of Christ"; and the recipient answers Amen, which means I believe.
At weddings, and special occasions, the newly wed receive under both species sometimes...
The host is the complete Jesus, as well as the blood.
Some cringe at the thought of eating flesh and blood; but God does this in an un bloody manner, so as not hurting us.
He created the heavens and the earth out of nothing, so it's not harder for Him to create (something) out of something he created...mainly; turn the created bread and wine into His body and blood.
Thanks for the question. Maybe you can explain this to your friend.
God bless you.
@saladdogger at every Catholic Church I've been to we have both. You can rake both or one, both are complete.
@saladdogger You heard right...the priests do drink the cup at each mass.
They are doing what Jesus told the apostles to do after consecration.
I have received under both species a few times during my life on special occasions like around Easter, and Holy Thursday when we celebrate the Last Supper.
Thanks
@saladdogger Well; the priest breaks the bread in two during consecration.
Second, you say wafer...actually, it is unleavened bread like Jesus used...no yeast in it.
He uses Jesus's words exactly when he celebrates the mass.
Jesus gave communion to the twelve apostles, but in our church, there are sometimes a few hundreds, so the Church decided to give a small host.
But the most important thing is...Jesus told the apostles: "Whatever you bind on earth, will be bound in heaven".
The Church decides how the Liturgy takes place.
If the priest runs out of hosts, he can break the host in many pieces and give it to more people.
Jesus is present in every part of the host equally...the whole Jesus.
If the host is Jesus's body, it also contains His blood.
Finally; it's a mystery. Only God understands Mysteries fully.
Thanks for asking.
But if something is explicitly stated in the scripture, it is the absolute truth that should not be ignored and should never contradict the "revealed truth". Amen. Thank you for this video, I've learned a lot about the Catholic belief.
Well, in the Book of Mark it tells that Mary had children; why is this ignored? It is to create, same as the pagans have, a Queen of heaven. Only the tip of that great deception.

James and Joses (Joseph), and most likely Simon, were sons of Mary of Clopas (Mark 15:40) who was described as Mary’s “sister” - more likely her cousin or sister-in-law - (John 19:25), so they were His *cousins*. Judas is the son of James (Luke 6:16).
So while the Greek ‘adelphos’ means brother, it also encompasses other male relations such as cousin, uncle, nephew, etc. It was also the word used for the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were actually uncle and nephew. The reason being that the original Hebrew and Aramaic of the Old Testament did not have a word for cousin, brother, etc so the Greek translation used ‘adelphos’ to encompass all male relationships. The same applies for “sister”.
Another indication that Jesus did not have siblings was at His death, when He entrusted the care of His mother to John. If He had siblings her care would have been entrusted to the next eldest son. Not to John.

John 2:12
12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with HIS MOTHER and HIS BROTHERS and HIS DISCIPLES, and they stayed there for a few days.
John 7:1
And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee; for He was unwilling to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. 3 HIS BROTHERS therefore said to Him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that YOUR DISCIPLES also may behold Your works which You are doing. 4 "For no one does anything in secret, when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world." 5 FOR NOT EVEN HIS BROTHERS WERE BELIEVING IN HIM. 6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time is not yet at hand, but your time is always opportune. 7 "The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. 8 "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come." 9 And having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee. 10 But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as it were, in secret.
Acts 1:14
And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. 14 These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, AND WITH HIS BROTHERS.

Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's BROTHER.

Except for the papacy, Anglicanism believes in the catholic doctrines you mentioned, at least in Anglo-Catholic tradition of which I'm a member. God's peace Brother.
I believe we need to start working towards uniting the faithful. It'll start with the Catholics and Orthodox, then the Anglicans and then the Lutherans. These, from what I've heard, seem to have the most similarities theologically(well....at least relative to the theological differences between Catholics and other Protestants...)
Derrick Zeller Still Anglicanism isn't founded by Jesus. Anglicanism was founded by a king's caprice and immorality.
I am glad to discover some Anglican parishes are reuniting with Rome.
@alray , very true. After 14 years of preaching, God told St. Paul to submit what all he had taught to gentiles to Peter and get his approval. Read Gal 2:1-2 . Paul did exactly that. He didn't want his work in the past or in the present to be a failure.
Pope is now continuing to do peter's work. You would say, pope is the acronym for PETER's OFFICE PRIEST ENTRUSTED
There is biblical reference for triune God. Triune means 3 n 1
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word(John1:1,14, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one(Triune).
1 John 5:7
Unfortunately, that is from the King James Version, which is full of errors. This is one of those errors. 1 John 5:7 actually says:
"7For there are three that testify: 8the a Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement."
It would be great if the Trinity were actually in the Scriptures, but it just isn't
KJV is a mediocre version, and that's not a Catholic/Protestant divide.
Why do catholics call the virgin mary the queen of heaven and earth, and the queen of all the angels? The bible says that the king of heaven and earth is God, the Lord of angelic hosts. I know there must be a good reason to give her those titles, but it seems there is a contradiction between scripture and catholic tradition. Can you please answer this question.
The wikipedia page on this is actually pretty good: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Heaven#Historical_practice
Read the "Biblical Basis," and "Historical Practice" sections for information.
MrArozas
Heaven and earth belong to Jesus Christ, God the Son. And Mary is his mother.
We know from the Sacred Scripture and Israel history that the queen of the king of Israel is not his wife, but his mother.
So, Catholicism, as the continuation of the OT Israel must have a king (Jesus) and his queen must be his mother (Mary).
In the first century, the Queen was the mother of the king, not the king’s wife. Also, Revelation 12 describes a woman who gives birth to Jesus wearing a crown in heaven. Also, all of Mary’s words in scripture point back to Jesus’ authority. “Do whatever He tells you”.
In the book of Judges, a group of women were executed because they were caught worshipping the "Queen of heaven", and her symbol was the crescent moon. They were executed because the Queen of heaven is actually Satan, and Islam adopted the crescent moon which is the symbol of witchcraft.
@alray Directing prayers to anyone other than God is idolatry and blasphemy. It is the First Commandment. The Bible also says directing prayers to the dead is witchcraft.
Mary was a sinner saved by grace. She even said so. "My soul magnifies the Lord and rejoices in God my SAVIOR." She knew she was a sinner and needed a Savior. She was nothing special.
Jesus is the only One who matters.
It is in the Bible that Roman Catholic is described as the true church. Very well said!

@@BreakingInTheHabit anyhow, I'm okay with our faith, whether Roman or not.

Amen brother..
continuously obey Him.
If we truly love God, we shall, we will, we can obey His commandments.
He empowers us to do His will and the driving force, true Love.
Would it matter if you misrepresented Christianity? Would it matter if you misrepresented Catholicism? Would it matter if you misrepresented Hinduism?
Yes, it matters. We can not misrepresent anyone's beliefs.
If anyone insists on misrepresenting another's faith, they would be children of Satan. The children of God do not do that...only the children of Satan. That is straight from the scriptures in 1 John.
So, our conversations, as Christians, can never involve a lie about another's faith.... especially about faith because we are discussing God! He is watching us and would never approve of a lie.
So, when you say our Salvation is in Christ only, are you implying that someone believes that our salvation is not in Christ alone?
Salvation in Jesus Christ means praying to Him AND following His teachings. His teachings include being in community and fellowship with Apostolic Succession which is the Catholic Church. The word "alone" means excluding other false religions not the Catholic Church.
An example of Bible alone is the interpretation of "speaking in tongues". Without guided interpretation from a thousand year tradition people end up concluding this means babbling incoherently speaking the voice of angels. When the Bible mentioned the apostles speaking in tongues it means they were blessed by the holy spirit to allow them to speak in other languages (tongues) in order to spread the good news. Unfortunately this errant interpretation have us now people babbling and chittering believing this is the way to salvation.

@@vinnyv949 , not true. The apostles didn't practice catholicism. The word Catholic wasn't even used until 110 AD. 80 years after Christ. The apostles were dead before catholicism was born.
Tertullian clarified his understanding of the Lord’s Table by noting that the bread and the cup were symbols of Christ’s body and blood. In that same vein, we find that many of the church fathers similarly clarified their understanding of the eucharist by describing it in symbolic and spiritual terms.
At times, they echoed the language of Christ (e.g. "This is My body" and "This is My blood") when describing the Lord's Table. Yet, in other places, it becomes clear that they intended this language to be ultimately understood in spiritual and symbolic terms. Here are a number of examples that demonstrate this point:
The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever.
Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70).
Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2).
Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57).
Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7).
Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel:
For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80).
Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19)
Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8).
He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1).
And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24).
A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.
To be sure, they often reiterated the language of Christ when He said, “This is My body” and “This is My blood.” They especially used such language in defending the reality of His incarnation against Gnostic, docetic heretics who denied the reality of Christ's physical body.
At the same time, however, they clarified their understanding of the Lord’s Table by further explaining that they ultimately recognized the elements of the Lord's Table to be symbols-figures which represented
and commemorated the physical reality of our Lord’s body and blood.
@@vinnyv949 , even St Augustine, disagrees with transubstantiation.
@@nikkishears6402 this is just more Protestant nonsense and the result of listening to a fat heretic from the 1500s. I know the apostles didn’t practice Catholicism since the church wasn’t created yet. However the Catholic Church is the continuation of the apostles and the Bishop of Rome is our only link with Christ on earth as he is the heir to St. Peter who Jesus gave the keys to kingdom of Heaven to. The official unified church was created by Roman Emperor Constantine and many early church fathers and patriarchs to get all the differing Christian sects on the same page and weed out heresy. The top clergymen and theologians throughout the empire and in the world really were brought to the council of Nicea where debate, discussion, and voting commenced to develop orthodoxy. The unified Christian church with its five patriarchs started to splinter after the fall of the Roman Empire. The big schism occurred in the 11th century when the Roman Catholic Church and Greek Orthodox church (basically the two most powerful patriarchs that of Rome and Constantinople) broke communion. These were once part of the unified Catholic (which means universal) and the two oldest Christian institutions in the world. More schisms occurred in the 1500s as the English king wanted to continually divorce which the pope wouldn’t allow and some fatso thought he knew better than 1500 years of tradition. Now we have all these different Christian sects and no one knows the history of Christianity and spout ignorant comments.

So are we just gonna pretend in the dark ages the Catholic church didnt try to keep scripture out of the hands of the people? And taught that man was infallible but the word of God was full of errors? Are we also gonna pretend that the textus receptus or received texts dont exist? Maybe dont just trust what you are taught try looking up stuff for yourself. Do we also want to pretend that they didn't try to keep the kjv bible from being produced. History is essential in some aspects here unless we just want to repeat it.
It was never prohibited to the people to own and read a bible, it was just:
1- very expensive, because the press didn't existed yet
2- people had to know how to read proficiently
3- it was recomended to have a priest help you on the interpretation, of which there is only one, and when you let people make their own interpretations without guidance, you end up having heresies like calvinism :)
Also, i'm halfway though History college, happy i could help you understanding

@@williamavitt8264 are they now? because with simple digging you can find the majority of this information, simply by typing in and looking up the name Martin Luther who was one of the major protesters of their teachings because they were not found in scripture. Looking into him you will also note that the Catholic leaders were in fact controlling what was taught to the public and what wasn't. They helped push the narrative that we didn't have all the scriptures when in fact we did. These things do exist and can be found, rather you chose to looking into them or not is completely up to you. Even to this very day the vatican continues its assault on what scripture says, they indulge in all types of ritualistic cult like practices and even entertain the notion that aliens might exist, pope even said he would baptize one. Saying my facts are wrong don't make them wrong, regardless of how you feel about it, the truth isn't concerned with your feelings or mine.
@@justinbivens7314 Martin Luther was right about a great many things, but he was also wrong about a great many things. It's funny to me, though, how you chastise Catholics for following the teachings of men and then point to the teachings of a man to try and prove your point. And your understanding of the history of the Bible is greatly flawed. The Catholic church didn't push a narrative that we didn't have all the books. Those books were always there. Luther took them out because they contradicted his teachings. He alone took it upon himself to say they didn't belong. But the deutrocanonical books are part of the Old Testament going all the way back to the Septuagent (my spelling might be wrong), which would have been the version of Holy Scriptures used in the time of Christ and the version quoted by Christ Himself. The Catholics did add several books to the Bible that weren't in there before. Today we call those books The New Testament
I see the heart behind these videos, although from the majority of comments it seems the outcome is more affirming fellow catholics rather than challenging them. For the record I agree that both scripture and historical tradition should be taken into account, the Greek Orthodox probably felt the same way before the Schism. Interpretation and practice is what both divides and diversifies our faith. I wish we'd stop wasting time defending our beliefs to each other and more time advancing His Kingdom.
Had a protestant say today "that me calling him a protestant" was like calling him a n word but in a spiritual way. And he was mad. I used it in a way to simply explain the difference between each group in context of him telling me Catholics are bad. Just logical dialogue to use. I was calm leading up to it as well. someone who says that is hard to deal with.
