"she's not God, but he's given her great authority, and power."
Oh my Lord!! I can't
Why not? The apostles were promised thrones to judge the 12 tribes of Israel; is this a blurring of Christ's authority? Of course not. Besides, Jesus is the inheritor of David's Kingdom, making him the Davidic King. By the same token, Mary is made Davidic Queen (the Queen was always the King's mother in the Davidic Kingdom). Since Jesus transforms the Davidic mantle to that of the Messianic King, Mary's role is transformed into the Queen of Heaven by the grace of God.
@@VeryRarelyDoIActuallyCommentSure. Tell me the verse in which Jesus tells her that she has a thrown or calls her the queen of heaven.
@@CountCulture27 He doesn't exactly need to; this would have been the normative deduction within the Hebrew culture. Not everything needs an explicitly vocal green light by Jesus.
@@VeryRarelyDoIActuallyCommentActually, he’s making a claim that Mary would be sitting with a crown and using the12 disciples as a basis. That transcends culture as it is dealing with eternity, not Hebrew Culture. So, yes, in this case he needs to provide the same evidence for Mary based on the Bible for his claims to be consistent.
@@VeryRarelyDoIActuallyCommentThat sounds a bit like the Babylonian mother and son cult of Semiramis and Tammuz. Oh wait, I'm mistaken. It sounds exactly like Semiramis (Queen of Heaven). Please read the Bible.
We haven't had a Collision clip in a while! This will be good! I love the changes you guys have been making recently! Keep it up!

How can there be any collision between Harlot Mother P@p@l R0me and her Harlot Daughters, Sunday Evangelicals?
......What difference is there between a swine indulging Pagan Sunday Catholic and a swine indulging Pagan Sunday Lutheran or any other Sunday Reformer?
.......It's not even possible to tell apart a swine indulging Atheist from a swine indulging Pagan!
.....A pagan is a pagan in the same way an atheist is an atheist.
......If you accept R0me's fake Sunday and her abominable buffet, you might as well accept her Mary too!
.....Besides, Mother Harlot has promised that all her Whore Daughters will return to her. So what are you waiting for, friend?
******1st Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" ****** Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” The Bible just saved you guys an hour of your time. God bless!
You are correct there is but one mediator and that is Jesus! There are thousands of Saints and the Blessed Mary who are intercessors, who will pray for you. We were given the body of Christ which includes Blessed Mary and the Saints, why the prots choose to ignore them is beyond me.
@stoneagearcher3477 Thank you! Please provide the scripture verses that specifically say what you just said. I'll wait here patiently. God bless you.
@ Read revelation where is talks about bowls of incense and the smoke is their prayers. I’m curious! How can you be a prot? Every single prot denomination was started by a man not Jesus. There is only one church started by him. The Universal Church!
Every apostle is a saint! Some angels are saints too as well as prophets like Moses and Isiah! You prots are willfully ignoring such a vast resource Jesus gave us, it is really heartbreaking.
@@rapidrhinos2254where does scripture state everything a christian believed must be found solely in scripture? Just so you know, 1 tim 3:16 is a reference to the old testament, not the new testament.
@@rapidrhinos2254christians do seek the intercesssion of the Apostles and angels and prophets. Angelic intercession is explicit in Tobit.
Thank you so very much for posting this, Pastor Durbin. I have been saved for 42 years, and although I was never taught this, I ALWAYS knew in my Spirit, that Mary held no power, whatsoever! Absolutely blessed among women? Yes. I mean, she literally carried God in her womb, but that was about as far as it went. She, herself, knew and believed from day #1 that she was carrying the Messiah. But when He reached adulthood and He entered into all of His glory on the cross, Mary's job was done. Period! I get so tired of people always giving God's glory to Mary. I was born and raised catholic until I got saved at age 18, and when God revealed the NUMEROUS discrepancies, and fallacies of the Catholic church, I have never once looked back. It is a false religion, attached to a million and one man made rules. But thank you brother, for sharing this! Love you in the love of the Lord! 🥰❤️✝️
"Man, behold your Mother"
Wow yeah sure sounds like her job was done
This is the reason why Roman Catholic followers have no real transformation because they go to the wrong person. Genuine transformation is through the power of the Holy Spirit. We can go to Jesus through the Holy Spirit's conviction
@@JohnDinio The Holy Spirit convicted me to run to the Catholic church, confess my sins and come back into communion with her. Am I wrong?
@@stoneagearcher3477the Word of God says you are wrong.
@@GraceAbove223 really………having an illumination of conscience, being convicted by the Holy Spirit and confessing my sins to a priest is wrong? Should I have continued living in sin?
@@stoneagearcher3477 "confessing my sins to a priest" is God deaf?
@ You are blinded by something, I’ll pray for your eventual conversion.
Mr. Durban, this is one of your best videos. Very clear, very succinct and well said. 👍👍
Good work, promoting the truth through the Scripture. Thank you.
I'm afraid you're mistaken if you think Mary's authority is unscriptural: the authority of Mary is vested chiefly in how the Queen in the Davidic Kingdom was the mother of the King- not a wife. If Jesus is the Davidic King, the Son of David, then Mary is likewise uplifted to the role of Queen with its due authority- and moreso if the King is Messianic. She's not autonomous with power, but graced with power by Jesus. You can see the prototype of this fidelity in 2Kings:19-20:
"So Bethsheba went to King Solomon, to speak on behalf of Adonijah. And the King rose to meet her, and bowed down to her; and had a throne brought for the King’s mother; and she sat on his right. Then she said “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me”. And the King said to her, “Make your request, my mother; for I will not refuse you”(Kings 2:19-20)
Jesus' uplifting of Mary to Queen would be in accordance with the commandment to "honour [glorify in Hebrew] your mother and father).
Whose interpretation and understanding of scripture?
To be honest, I've never thought of George Washington or Abraham Lincoln or any of my friends and thought, "Oh wow I want to meet their mom."
"You must first know their mothers before you can know them"
-A Catholic, probably
Is almost like they are not on the same level of worthiness as Christ…
😂
@@Fassnight Why would you not want to meet the mother of God? Before Christ died on the cross he told his favorite disciple “behold your mother”. She became all of ours at that moment.
@@stoneagearcher3477
“Why would you not want to meet the mother of God?”
No one is saying they wouldn’t want to meet Mary someday. The claim here in the video and by many professing Catholics is that your relationship with Christ is dependent/co-dependent on your relationship with Mary.
“Before Christ died on the cross he told his favorite disciple "behold your mother". She became all of ours at that moment.”
Doesn’t say that. Jesus’ statement is directed at John to take Mary and care for her as if she were his own Mother. No where does it imply that she is thus everyone’s mother and we are to try and commune with her after her death.
I have so much respect for men of God who are not afraid to call out the heresies and garbage of rome. Blessings, pastor! Mary was an amazing woman of God but she is nothing conpared to our Triune God❤
Roses you have no way to actually call something a heresy

Do you respect someone who was a Christian for well over 50 years and sought the mind of the Almighty with every fiber of his being and then found out what divine love actually is?
There is no such thing as saved and unsaved souls. Soul condemnation is a lie from the pits of hell (pun intended) and you can take that truth to the bank.
Amen, thank you for this
Thank you so much, Pastor Jeff! This was really timely and very helpful. I truly appreciate all that you and your team do through Apologia's ministry and EAN. May the Lord continue to bless you. Please keep the excellent content coming. I love you how you always base all your replies on Scripture. I'm so happy to be an all-access subscriber, too. God bless you, brother!
He said same old objestions Catholics have heard time and again for 2000 years. Pleas tell him to update his arguements. In no time a catholic will debunk all he had said
That reply has nothing to do with anything 💀 make some objections.... @@henrylimnyuy3195
I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, attended mass each Sunday, and eventually raised my family in the church. But my reading of Scripture only consisted of the small selected reading during mass, which lacked the proper context since they were so small. It wasn't until I retired that I began to read and study Scripture, and I knew quite quickly that I could never go back to that theology. I was amazed to find out that I really didn't know the Gospel, and that the sermons I heard didn't preach it either. Now my current non-catholic church isn't perfect, but at least we have the Gospel right, and each and every sermon is centered around actual Scripture.
So glad to hear it !
Jesus said no one can come to me unless the Father draws them to me
The Father drew me also to his son through hearing the truth of the gospel thru people and reading the Bible which led to my salvation. Faith comes by hearing ! And reading his word is a form of hearing .as I was seeking and searching in in the New Testament I new enough and had a strong enough conviction to leave the Catholic Church Once I realized I was saved and had full assurance l was baptized .
This happened at 42 years old I am now 46
All glory and praise to our God
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit , be with you and your family.
@@DanNyblom-eu7gw I too got water baptized two years ago. I'm over 70.
Translation: You were never Catholic nor knew anything about Catholicism
Yeah sure.
If you attend mass daily, the entire Bible is read in 2 years. If you attend only Sundays, you hear 75% in 3 years…and most of what is missing is Old Testament genealogy and duplicate passages. More scripture is read in the Catholic Church than any Protestant church, which tend to pick and choose scripture that agree with their theology and ignore scripture that contradict their theology. You need to revisit the Catholic Church and come back home…
One thing I have learned in 40 years - Never go to a Protestant pastor to learn about the Catholic Church, Likewise, do not go to a Catholic to learn about the Protestant Church. You'll almost always get a straw man of the other's position. We need to seek unity across our Christian brothers and sisters.
Thank you pastor Jeff for correcting the false prophets. Your work is appreciated in those times of apostasy. Greetings in the Lord from France.
Jeff the false prophet himself
Thank you so much Jeff,that was a wonderful, Biblical explanation.Much appreciated, God bless you.
Glory to God. Jesus will keep all of His sheep and no one can pluck them from His hand. No one can stay God’s hand
Many who believed that lie are atheists now
No one can pluck them out, but one can freely walk out of their own volition.
@@ShadyJay27 and God's word says those never were his to begin with
Sincerely, thank you so much for making this video. I happen to have been struggling with this lately and feeling some unease about Catholocism and my confusion about Mary, and but particularly salvation through faith in Jesus. I've always felt I didn't do enough and have never been obedient enough before God. I am a sinner and always have been, always will be, but I've always believed in my heart that my faith in Jesus as my Lord and saviour is most important to God over my works. I genuinely believe the thief on the cross is one of the most powerful examples we have of Gods mercy and what is important to God. The thief on the cross simply asked Jesus to remember him and he acknowledged Jesus as who he claimed to be. Jesus turned to him and said "today you will be with me in paradise" - that's all Jesus wanted from him. Acknowledge Jesus as Lord, repent for your sins, and turn to him. Jesus not only accepted the thiefs words but he welcomed him into eternal life with him straight away in that moment. That is how much he loves us. I believe that one verse even says we should come to Jesus like little children. Doing good works is wonderful too and I think this should and will come naturally through loving Jesus.
In my discussions with other Catholics on-line, I have often used the thief on the cross as an example of both Grace and the Gospel message of "saved by faith", yet I will hear responses such as "oh, that was an exception", or "it doesn't work that way today". The most difficult people to reach is what I call hard-core catholics who seem to value their church more than they do Christ.
Bro jesus left a church not a book@@spacecoastz4026
@@spacecoastz4026Salvation is not some one-time thing that you do. It’s a process that you live by and work out. If the thief on the cross had somehow survived his crucifixion, he would have been required to be baptized. That’s because baptism is the remission of sins.
@@JoshuaOpell Nope, Born Again is not something you do over and over...nor is it something you have to "maintain". Born Again means you become NEW...a new creation with new desires...a desire to be with God and reject sin. And water baptism doesn't save....Christ does. Read Scripture and understand the gospel of salvation.
@@spacecoastz4026 Salvation is a process and has to be evidenced by the way you live with your attempt to imitate Christ. If you’re actually a new creation, then you would have signs of change in your life. Baptism is the remission of sins as decreed by as stated by the Nicene Creed. For you to say “Read Scripture” begs the question because we have different bibles and different canons throughout history. Whose interpretation and understanding of scripture do you appeal to and how can you know it? What church was it that canonized the scriptures?
Very well explained amen 🙏
I would love a debate team of James & Jeff vs. Trent Horn and Alex from Voice of Reason. Man that would be something.
Mark 3: 33-35 " who is my mother and brother?, these are my mother and brother, for whoever does the will of the Father are my mother and brother ".
Mark chapter 3.
Are you saying the Virgin Mary did not do the will of the Father? Just want to make sure you realize the point you think you're making is not the one you're actually making.
There is no Mark chapter 33. Jesus says this in Mark chapter 3. I was just correcting the citation. The original poster edited his post and fixed it. I think his point is that Jesus indicated His regarding other female believers as equal to His mother as sisters of faith, and other males to His brothers as brothers of faith.
@shaulkramer7425 read the full context and make your own decision, I didn't write the book.
You do realize that Mark 3:33-35 puts every born again Christian as being absolutely equal in every way with Mary. Most people do not think of that.
1 God 1 Mediator! Thank you Pastor Jeff for truth spoken. I was a Catholic thank our Lord he took the blinders off me.
@@charmainebruington3922 come home. Calvinism is evil.
Why do you than need any pastor pope,or man? This guy ,as well every protestants denomination have 80% of catholic teachings.
How can anyone lose salvation when its not his/her to gain or to lose? When man get to know that,they will start to lose this religious debates.
@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rbPastors are not mediators. That’s not what their role is according to scripture, mediator is specifically a role given to Jesus. As far as Popes , the concept of a pope isn’t found anywhere in scripture.
Johnamrsn No man is needed to teach other 1John 2: 27 ,because New Covenant ministry is not earthly ministry,but Heavenly / Spirit 2 Co 3: 8
Of course if man believe in God that speaks,and listen what the Spirit say yo the churches,not what the churches say to the churches..
@@Johnamrsn pastors are absolutely mediators. A mediator is one who acts as an intermediary between two parties. In the case of a pastor, he is an intermediary bergen between party A (God) and party B (his mission field).
Amen
Amen Brother
Great message, thanks
You are so welcome
@@ApologiaStudiosHow can the doctrines of Calvinism be true when the early church and church fathers never taught any of them?
“Work out your own salvation …” means once you receive your salvation, you are to work it out. Meaning, all good works flows from your salvation, which is sanctification. No work is needed for salvation. Working from a place of salvation brings glory to God (Matthew 5 discussing light of the world).
The only former Catholics I know have very similar testimonies: They grew up in the Catholic tradition and upon reading the Bible themselves, realized those traditions are not supported or even in alignment with what the Bible says... then they left the RCC. If there's a case wherein someone reads the Bible, yet remains in that false church, I'd wonder why the Holy Spirit isn't calling them out of it.
Most of your protestants pastors are gradualy coming back to Catholism. Only ignorant catholics leave the church. Most your pastor Cannot use Bible to teach about AI, Contraception, IVF, Immigration. They are running back to Catholic social teachings😊. Mother Mary is helping with that
I'm afraid you're mistaken: the authority of Mary is vested chiefly in how the Queen in the Davidic Kingdom was the mother of the King- not a wife. If Jesus is the Davidic King, the Son of David, then Mary is likewise uplifted to the role of Queen with its due authority- and moreso if the King is Messianic.

Jesus' uplifting of Mary to Queen would be in accordance with the commandment to "honour (glorify in Hebrew) your mother and father).
@@jeremiah5319 It’s my observation that weak Catholics become Protestants, but only the strongest Protestants become Catholics. I’m Catholic because of Scott Hahn, a Protestant pastor turned Catholic apologist.
Matthew 12:46-50
46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Jesus is not so much downplaying/snubbing his mother, but making a greater point to the woman that an insular love that prioritises/scales itself to only those immediately ‘like’ you, such as family and race, has no place in the Kingdom of God. The woman's sin was that she could only see Jesus in terms of his immediate, convenient relations (family)- but not the outreaching quality of his love, where all can join the holy fraternity.
@@VeryRarelyDoIActuallyCommentIt also puts Mary in the same category as all believers, NOT a queen of heaven.
@@CountCulture27 Yes, Mary did "do the will of [the] Father who is in Heaven", per her acquiescence in the Annunciation and bonding with the God-man, Jesus, for 30+ years. The prototypal Christian believer, in many respects. Mary was distinguished as more than a vessel, and, per the Davidic custom of the King's mother as Queen, exalted as Queen of Heaven. This is not owing to her own nature; she was graced into this role by God.
@@VeryRarelyDoIActuallyComment I understand what you are saying. I have heard this many times. I want to believe you guys, I do. Thing is we just do not see that title anywhere given to anyone in the new testament. Rather a tradition. However, we do see in the OT, we see pagans baking little cakes to The Queen of Heaven. And they worshiped all manner or creatures with idols fashioned by the hand of man resembling these creatures. Some looked like angels/creatures. Also worshiping the Sun, moon, and stars. I do believe though that many times throughout the bible and historically, when we look closely, that God can and does take things for Himself. Like the cloud rider motifs which pagans said was baal. God says, no, I am The Most High God which comes with the clouds of heaven. So is it possible that the church can take a pagan practice and make it for The Most High God? Maybe? I don't know. All I see is tradition of man and no other command or evidence to do such things.
@@gregrizzy3326 thank you for being so earnest, especially on this platform. For what it's worth, I'm not nearly as opinionated/certain as I may appear: I'm still a Catachumen, which is as sort of chrysalis stage before becoming Catholic.
Your understanding of pagan motifs being transformed and put under Christ's feet is on point through, I have to say. The Vatican, on a similar note, has an Egyptian obelisk outside it that was originally non-Christian; it now has a cross on it, representing how anything can be transformed and put under Christ's foot.
I'm aware of the scarcity of explicit Marian material in the Bible, so I do sympathise. However, I'm tentatively inclined to see this as divinely intentional- and, possibly, the litmus test of Catholicism's fullness among the other Churches.
If we look at the feeding of the 4000/5000, we see a paradigm of transforming scarcity to abundance. What is non-compelling is proffered by generosity to new life and significance. Could God be doing this with Mary? Catholicism is the only Church I'm aware of that takes a seemingly innocuous/scarcely expounded person and formally expounds upon her role, dignity, identity etc. Mary is veiled in the texts. Mothers, even today, are unfortunately looked over despite their sacrifices and work; Mary is the reversal of this. Instead of asking where is the most robust textual 'armour' for Mary- what the Bible explicitly 'has'- perhaps think about what you can give the faith in light of the Bible's scarcity. Jesus loves generosity, after all.
Jesus gloried himself by uplifting & transforming the social ghosts and passed-over people of his day. How impressed would he be if you uplifted his textually impoverished Mother to Queen?
If the fastest way to get Jesus's attention is through Mary, maybe the fastest way to get Mary's attention is Jesus's grandma. The logic just breaks down so fast
Most protestants think we dont go to Jesus directly. We do more than we go through Mary. We go both ways. Just that Mary helps is on another level😊.
@henrylimnyuy3195 How? Who said that?
How do we understand things if we dont search the scriptures and study, pray. If the Word of God doesn't tell you this, you need to be Extremely careful in what your doing here because if you're wrong, its all pagan. It's worship of idols. Literally.
Remember Mary’s mother prayed like Hannah (Samuel’s mother) for a child and she gave Mary to the temple. Just read the gospel of James. Funny how the rejection of the RCC becomes the standard of the RCC.
I'm afraid you're mistaken: the authority of Mary is vested chiefly in how the Queen in the Davidic Kingdom was the mother of the King- not a wife.

Then Solomon killed him. Your verse to raise Mary to Lordship is a verse in which Bathseba is conned into a conspiracy to overthrow her son Solomon from the throne.
“The Lord has confirmed me and placed me on the throne of my father, David; he has established my dynasty as he promised. So as surely as the Lord lives, Adonijah will die this very day!” So King Solomon ordered Benaiah son of Jehoiada to execute him, and Adonijah was put to death.”
1 Kings 2:24-25 NLT
Also why don’t you use Athallah an actual Davidic Queen as a type for Mary.
Yes honor your father and mother, but that does not make her God.
‘O Mary, Mother of God, as you are above all creatures in heaven and on earth, more glorious than the Cherubim, more noble than any here below, Christ has given you to His people, firm bulwark and protectress, to shield and save sinners who fly to you.
I love watching Jeff articulate the Scriptures. Thanks for this video. I have always argued that I am saved and so is anyone who believes in Jesus for all eternity. Some people tell me you could lose your salvation. But I don’t think that’s what Jesus is saying he’s not saying those who believe in me will have eternal life oh, but you could possibly lose it. I believe it means everlasting life, with Jesus, never once to be separated from his love and presence for all of eternity.
@@TrustintheSon1 What happens if you commit a mortal sin and don’t repent? Are you still saved?
@ well, I can tell you’re Catholic because only Catholics use the term mortal sin. What I would say is that Jesus died once and for all for sin we don’t have to keep offering up sacrifice after sacrifice. Romans, seven even Paul, the apostle was struggling with sin. He said, wretched man, that I am, who will rescue me from his body that is subject to death. He says, therefore there is now no condemnation, for those in Jesus Christ. For what the law is powerless to do that it was, weakened buy the sinful nature. God did by sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering it says that sin is condemned in the flesh, but that God will constantly renew that which is most important to him. Which is the Spirit. For Jesus says those who live and believe in me will live, even though they die, and those who live in believe in me, will never die. Jesus does not say if you believe in me, you will have eternal life unless you sin mortally. Jesus says, for those who believe in me, will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life.
@ Jesus does say, unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. But the presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit rescues us from all sin.
@@TrustintheSon1 as long as you repent of those sins!
@ are you proving a point to me that I didn’t already know? only Catholics use the term mortal sin. The whole point of this video was that Jeff said that we are saved forever that there is no chance of losing our salvation ever not for a moment, and I agree with him when we believe in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and we are a new creation. The old is gone the new has come, we are eternally saved in the presence of Jesus Ephesians 1 says I am seated in the heavenly realms right now with Jesus Christ and then you ask me what if somebody sins. Isn’t that why Jesus came to the Earth to destroy the works of the devil and to forgive all sins. How many sacrifices would we have to offer up ? even kingDavid said that doesn’t take away one sin. But the blood of Jesus not only remove sins forever but the Holy Spirit, who gives us new birth, makes us alive in the spirit a new creation saved eternally.
The last place Mary is mentioned in the Bible is in Acts 1 with her sons and daughters, among many others in the upper room.

12:17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
Explain to us how it is that the woman lived for a predicted 1260 days ( which we understand is equivalent to 1260 YEARS) and just who are these OFFSPRING of the woman who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus?
So of course now you'll bring in another roman catholic fable - the EVE story - that Mary is the mother of all believers, the ARK of the covenant.
Pure drivel.

The major church splits throughout history occurred in 431, 451 and 1054ad. How is it that all four branches of apostolic Christianity are so closely aligned on saintly intercession, justification and (lack of) eternal security, sacraments, polity, apostolic succession, etc. despite their splits. Then 2000 years later Jeff Durbin and James White come along and say they finally got it right? Maybe the Apostolic churches are on to something.
The obvious presupposition of the Philippians passage is if we are faithful to him. Just as when Paul wrote in Romans: “The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…IF only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.” (8:17)

The Mary of the Scriptures would say, "The quickest way to Jesus is to repent and follow Him; and whatever He says, do it."
"For behold, from now on *all generations will call me blessed;* for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and Holy is His name." Seems you forgot that one. When's the last time you call our Lady the blessed one?
@PatrickInCayman
You forgot Ephesians 1:3-4. Those who are truly in Christ, born from above, born again, sealed with the Holy Spirit are blessed with every spiritual blessing from above.
Mary is no different, and she is blessed AMONG women and not ABOVE women.
@@dannisivoccia2712 which other women will be called blesses by all generations? Please name one. And The term is not mutually exclusive. You can be both at the same time.
@PatrickInCayman
All of the women patriarchs of God, used by Him for His purposes, whom we read about in the word of God.
Each of these vessels of God are blessed throughout all generations, because the word of God remains forever.
@ All of them bore Christ? All of them have the moon and their feet and clothed with the sun? With a crown of 12 stars? You're suggesting Mary is indistinguishable from these other women?
I'm not sure what religion you belong to.
Catholic: If you love Jesus, wouldn't you want to know His mother?
Also Catholic: You need Mary to find Jesus.
Protestant: Um, wut?
No and no and is that your judgement call
It would be helpful for you to *try* to understand what Catholics *actually believe* rather than pushing strawmen and ridiculous dichotomies
God has a mother?😂
@ Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, who is Himself God, does indeed have a mother.
@@PatrickInCayman Did Adam have a "mother",,,,,,,,,,no. Did someone or something have sex with Mary,,,,,,no. Mary was a vessel nothing more nothing less. I left the RCC in 1968. Read your Bible, everything you need about your salvation is there. Now let's talk about the brothers and sisters of Jesus.
Why would I need another mediator to Christ? I am already close to Him.
wait, who is my Mediator to Mary?????
@@FBCTrona that's a really bad argument. Your saying, you need Jesus to go to Mary? Where do you guys get this stuff? The verse is to God! Between man and God. And you guys wonder why ppl say you worship Mary... This helps your case? You thought this was good? So, Mary is Higher than Jesus? Really? Sounds alot like that is what your saying, but you will claim no, no, that's not what we are saying... you see why prots struggle with your traditions and dogmas.. You aren't helping to convince any of them, even those who are questioning things and searching out a church. It is not strong, and not good. I have heard no good arguments other than, tradition. Well prots have tradition too. So do Muslims ect. We all believe in the early church, so that is not a strong one either. Where you get into trouble is the things that deviate from what can be clearly seen and evidenced in the Bible. But I know, then you'll claim you made the Bible also. Unreasonable. You made also the OT? I would say God made the bible. Holy Spirit. These just aren't great arguments.
@ Haha- I think you read my reply wrong. I was speaking about all the mediators in the Catholic church. Mediator to the father, mediator to the Son, who is then the mediator to Mary.... The catholic church will one day find another. There is nothing Christian about Catholicism.
@@FBCTrona Spoken like someone utterly ignorant of Church History and the Apostolic Fathers. Absolutely no clue on how you got the Bible, and the foundation of your own invented religion in the 1600's. How can you be *this ignorant* and smugly trash something as if you knew anything?
@ first of all, thank you for the ad hominem attacks. I promise I will not return the same. I am not the least bit ignorant of Church history nor am I ignorant of Roman Catholic history. Nor am I protestant. I also know what you mean by the apostolic fathers. A title that Roman Catholics put on those they believe that the apostles passed down their authority to so let’s start there. Where in the scriptures do you see that the apostles could pass down their authority? Knowing how important this doctrine would be to the future Church and how it would reshape the church. I’m sure the Bible would’ve made apostolic succession very clear in the scriptures so that the early church fatherswould be clear that this is where their authority would come from. So in your reply, please give me the scripture you use to prove that doctrine.
This is so important. Thank you. I hope that you and Sean can have a discussion some day about these things. He can spit scripture and and facts as fast as you can. His ministry has been to the Muslims as yours has been to the Mormons but his ministry is without love and he has fallen away from Christianity and into the false religion of catholicism. He's a very talented man who I pray comes back to Christianity. He's powerful in speech and in smarts but lacks love, much more than you ever have demonstrated in years past in the sarcasm especially. Thank you for letting The Holy Spirit grow His fruits in you. The gentleness is so strong and kindness is powerfully righteous.
Often times in a catholic church you'll notice statues of Mary wearing the crown, but not Jesus. Also, Rome has a dogma where they claim that Mary too had a version of divine ascension.
Jesus is wearing a crown, except the crown that HE chose was one of thorns.
If you walk into any Catholic church, you'll see Jesus Christ front and center, crowned as King
@@Joelthinkerare you talking about a statue or something?
The crown checks out, though. Since Jesus is the Davidic King, Mary is the Davidic Queen, as the Queen in the Davidic Kingdom was always the mother of the King. If Jesus is King, Mary's role as Davidic Queen is transformed into Queen of Heaven by the grace of God.
She was also born without sin according to Catholic dogma as well.
There a video of Francis putting a crown on a Mary statue
It's so deceptive. And you see so many decent, intelligent men and women falling for it rather than just learning Scripture. They are seduced by an aesthetic.
Why do you think it is that all four branches of apostolic christianity reject sola scriptura? Why do all four reject faith alone? Why do all four believe in purgatory (or something purgatory adjacent)? Why do all four seek the intercession of the saints? The first permanent church split came in 431ad so the commonality of belief goes back 1,000 years before the reformation.
@@franceshaypenny8481 It’s called tradition!
Because if you neglect the teachings of Bible and the simplicity of the Gospel church tradition can get corrupted over time (also purgatory was very financially beneficial for the Roman church)
@@markobible777 the Catholic Church teaches Bible and tradition.

A requirement of the new covenant is living from love. Love for God and love for people Matt 5-7.

So with real fear, let us see ourselves in every person we meet and do unto them as we would have them do to us, lest Matt 18's servant or Matt 24 & 25's punished servants turn out to be us.

The second priest is an exorcist! He has seen the power of Mary in his deliverance ministry. He has seen firsthand the absolute terror that demons have of her, not only because of authority given to her (to crush the head of the serpent), but because these fallen angels are utterly shamed by the fact the she never once counted the cost in serving God, unlike them, and unlike the rest of humanity. This is all learned from the exorcism ministry started by Jesus 2000 years ago. Exorcists have very unique experiences and observations. They know very well Mary’s role since assumed into heaven. While it’s not described in the Bible, it’s also not an unbiblical idea. God commonly shares his powers through various ministries and roles, both in heaven and earth.
I m not going to trust demons to steer my walk with Christ. Plus Mary died after Jesus ascended to Heaven which means she is asleep until his return. Like the rest of us will be until the day of judgement right as it written in the Bible.
Well stated. Protestants' argument apart from them refusing that these teachings are there in the Bible, they presume that revelation by God stopped in the times when the books of the Bible were written. To the extent that any other revelation that is not in the Bible even when it doesn't contradict the Bible ie wrong. I wonder such kind of reasoning. The Catholic faith is nkt only Biblical but also experiencal. God continues to work with humanity to save humanity
Demons are afraid of the DEMON that RCs call "Mary" who has nothing to do with the Mary of Scripture who was humility personified (have you read her prayer in Luke chapter one???).
There are hierarchies in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12) and the demon pretending to be Mary (Satan himself?) is one of the most authoritative.
Do you believe Mary was without sin?
@@davidschiavi7048 no I don't think Mary was without sin she was a human. A human chosan to do an extraordinary task but a human just the same.
you are so so so right...thank you for what you do
Luke 11:27-28
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."
Thank you!😊
Sometimes I wish I could subscribe twice to Apologia’s channel
"All who come to me I will never cast out" ..."of all my Father has given I will loose nothing but will raise it up at the last day".
the false Catholic doctrines are easily refuted with the ACTUAL scripture. Thanks Jeff for speaking out!
“From now on all generations will call me blessed” (Mary in Luke 1:48). There’s only one Church I know that continually proclaims Mary as blessed, in every generation: The Catholic Church!
They call her blessed but where in the new testament it specifically says to show her devotion
@ Where does the Bible suggest devotion to mothers?!? Cuz she’s OUR Mother now according to Jesus.
Do you think Jesus was making very last-minute arrangements for his mother while hanging on the cross; a mere afterthought to mention in this most dramatic moment?? No. Throughout His ministry, Jesus prepared his disciples for what was coming. And if Jesus was making living arrangements for Mary, it would’ve been more appropriate to be cared for by his supposed brothers.
Also regarding John 19, Jesus calls her “woman” not “mother,” a title that recalls Eve, the “mother of all the living” (Gen 3:20). As Jesus is the new Adam, she is the new Eve; yet another significance worthy of devotion.
Aceswizzo…. “Behold, YOUR mother.”
I like John MacArthur putting it this way. The Bible says to work OUT our salvation, not to work FOR our salvation.
WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. Paul was writing to believers. What had they to fear and tremble about if they were already saved?
@fred3893 Because God chastises those He loves when they are disobedient.
@ Does not answer the question. If they can not lose their salvation, what is there to fear?
@@fred3893 reverent fear. Not, let's be shaking to the bone afraid of God. Child of God has a reverent fear. However like any child, they fear the repercussions of punishment for doing wrong.

Please have a debate with Michael Knowles. He articulates his views very well, in ways that seem sensical, but you do a fantastic job at using scripture to defend your views. I think a debate regarding WHAT SCRIPTURE TEACHES between you two would be enlightening and very beneficial to the world and Christs goal of saving as many people as possible.
Thank you for what you do!
As i life long Catholic who has listen to these same old protestant objections that never changes, I will encourage them to Learn about Catholicsm from the church itself and not from their pastor who went to a protestant seminary. For those of you who keep quoting one mediator ...... Know this and know peace. without the one mediator we will have No Mary, No saints, No pope, No Church, No bible, no priest Nothing. So when you see us prayer to saints and Mary we indirectly telling Jesus what he did on the cross brought so many graces that we can use. Jesus equally says he is the vine and we are the branches.
If we chose not to bear fruits we will lose our salvation.😊
Calvinist like the LDS had a prophet who pops up almost 2000 years after Christ preaching another gospel and another Jesus.
What "Calvinist" is this? Do name him.
@Yesica1993 John Calvin is his name. This false prophet has led many astray with his false doctrine and false version of Jesus.
Yesica needs a history book. Johnny Calvin was a bit earlier than 2000 years after.
Methinks she is repeating something she heard.
Sorry, yesica is the straight one here!
spot on
Why not actually debate them rather than imposing bias doctrine to selected recordings?
Catholics will go to the early church fathers to prove there point but let’s look at what scripture says Mary has nothing to do with my salvation
I am not Catholic or a Calvinist. I don't believe one should pray to Mary or Saints. Not sure where I stand on this, exactly. I do believe in transformation and sanctification over time, honing in more and more on the Holy Spirit leading.
So soo good
How does God see salvation from a omniscient perspective?
A. Once saved always saved
B. Salvation can be lost
C. Always saved or always wasn't saved
I'm convinced C is most accurate.
I think you can do better... just do a debate with a good catholic apologist like Akin, Staples, Heschmeyer... that would be very much more interesting, isn't it?
I have a genuine question that I have never had an answer for, and I am really hoping someone here will answer it.
In Matthew 12, Jesus pretty much states that someone that isn’t with Him cannot cast out demons. So, if that is the case, how could the people who casted out demons in His name but were rejected not have been true Christians? I’m not looking to argue or debate, im genuinely just curious.
Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone asks my mother to open the door, I will come in...
Did the bible never say
John 2:3-5
And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
Jesus indicated that there was a new relationship between Him and Mary. “If she sought his help now, she must not seek it on the basis of their mother-and-son relationship.” (Bruce)
Jesus didnt attribute Anything to mary. All glory was given to the Father.
John 6:65 - Jesus speaking - " For this reason, I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father. " This follows Christ's preaching of the truth to challenge all of the seekers of self with the truth of who He really is. Then just moments before Peter confesses Christ as the only one having the words of truth!
Jesus is returning for his BRIDE.
It's sooo important that they get the analogy.
If you want to know a guy and eventually get engaged to him and marry him, would you get to know him by always being around his mom and several of his other relatives??
That's what it's like with Roman Catholics always feel the need to add "saints" and priests and (their version of) "Mary".
You cannot have a personal relationship with Jesus that way. He cannot be your betrothed that way.
[I speak as an ex RC, saved by the grace of God: Ephesians 2:8-9].
I believe in once saved always saved. I believe there are those that are saved and those that believe they are saved and are not. So therefore like christ said. There will be those before christ who he will say I never knew you. Because christ says those who the father has given into his hands will not be snatched out of his hand. So if you are truly saved God knew from the beginning and had it planned so you were always saved. But God also knows who are not his. And that is what the bible teaches.
“Everything I have I contribute to her.”
Wow!
Not His Father?
“If you really love Him, wouldn’t you want to know her?”
No I would want to know the one to whom Jesus came to reveal.
When will you respond directly to How to be Christian's multiple videos he has made about your teachings? You must be aware of them because James White has at least mentioned them on his show(although he won't address them directly because Ferris is "snarky"). We all would love to see it.
I was raised a catholic, until…I actually seriously started to read the Bible. We can read in Scriptures that Lord Jesus commanded the Apostles to first preach the Gospel to the Jews, and after also to the Heathen or Gentiles (but never vise versa ! ). I found out in Scriptures who of the Apostles for the first time went to Rome .. and it wasn't Peter. In the Book of Acts it says in Chapter 28 the following: 16 "And when we came to Rome, the Centurion delivered the Prisoners to the Captain of the Guard: but Paul was allowed to live in a house, by himself, with a Roman Soldier that kept him. 17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the Chief of the there living Jews together: and when they came together, Paul said to them: "Men and Brethren, though I have committed nothing against our people, our customs, or against our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans 18 who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of guild in me. 19 But when the Jews spoke against that verdict, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had made any accusations against my Nation. 20 For this Hope (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) therefore I have called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because for the Hope of Israel I am bound with these chains. 21 The Chief of the Jews said to Paul: "We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the Brethren that came from there shewed or spoke any harm of you. 22 But we desire to hear of you what you think: for concerning this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere". The Roman catholic church claims that it was Peter who went to Rome first to preach the Gospel there first and that it was Peter who founded the catholic church there. Question: who lies? God,... or the Roman catholic church ? And what about the Letter in the Bible from Paul to the Congregation of Galatians where it says this in Chapter 2? From verse 7 we read the following: 7 "But on the contrary, when they saw that the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (Gentiles) was committed unto me, as the Gospel of the Circumcision (Jews) was unto Peter; 8 for He that gave Peter power effectively to the Apostleship of the circumcision (again: the Jews), the Same was Mighty in me toward the Gentiles. 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we (that are Paul and Barnabas) should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Again dear catholics: who lies? God’s Word, or the Roman catholic church? Bible, the book of Acts, Chapter 5, verse 29 : Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey GOD - rather than man” !! Since the Roman catholic 'church' claims to be well-read on scriptures, then please point me in the direction of where in the Bible it says to pray to a woman, or with a rosary praising Mary, or to dead “saints.” Lord Jesus calls every believer Saints which all are who received the Holy Spirit and confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord - so Rome has no authority appointing only some people saint - that is ludicrous. Please show me the name ‘pope’ in the Bible? Please show me where it says to call any mortal sinful man (the pope) your father. Please show me where the Bible says anything about purgatory, or paying indulgences (buying yourself into heaven - is God corrupt ?). Please show me where Mary was sinless? Why is it that catholics worship Mary still as a virgin when Lord Jesus had half brothers and half sisters? Mark 6 : 3 "Is this not the Carpenter, the Son of Mary, AND BROTHER OF JAMES, JOSES, JUDAS, AND SIMON? And are not HIS SISTERS here with us?” Matthew 13 : 55-56 "Is this not the Carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And HIS BROTHERS JAMES, JOSES, SIMON, AND JUDAS? AND HIS SISTERS, are they not all with us?" Please show me where it says to confess your sins to a fellow sinful man so that he may forgive them? Where does the Bible say the pope is the “vicar of Christ” on earth - how can a sinful man be te replacer of Christ on earth? That is blasphemy ! Show me where it says that a preacher must be unmarried? It was the pagan ROMAN Emperor Constantine (306 - 337 AD) who was in fact the first “pope” who hijacked the first Christian Communion in Rome founded by the apostle Paul, and he didn't allow for the common people to have Bible Scriptures...to keep believers ignorant to stay in power, as the Catholic Church still tries to do. Later pope’s started the ‘inquisition’ because the book printing machine was invented and people like Martin Luther and William Tyndale could spread the Bible in printed form to the common people: they were persecuted by Rome and many of them burned to dead for that by decree of Rome, and so were hundreds others who did the same as they denounced the FALSE doctrines of Rome. Rome called them heretics and witches while they murdered Christians who loved Jesus and true Scriptures. THESE ARE HISTORICAL FACTS. PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS FALSE CHURCH !!! The Roman catholic “church” is a continuation of the old Roman PAGAN Empire: it never went away as it disguised itself as a Christian Church. The pope, cardinals and bishops wear a Mitre - which odd head dress comes from the old pagan Rome priests representing a FISH BEAK god (I suggest you search for that). Read Revelation, Chapter 17: verse 7, 8 and 9…Read also Revelation 18 to see what God will do to this “church.”
Exactly, the gospel went to the Jews first, then Gentiles. If one carefully pieced together the biblical timeline, it exposes numerous problems with Catholicism.
My friend, you have done your research well. I saw all this too as well as many former Catholics, but as you know, when you talk to a Catholic, they will always come back with "you were not well Catechized and you didn't understand the faith", which of course you do, only too well.
So what's going on here? Why don't they see the obvious? I suspect there must be some spiritual darkness that overshadows them. What else could it be? What do you think?
@@jeromepopiel388 So you became a Protestant! You willfully walked away from the Eucharist? And do tell what fish beaked god did the Romans worship?
@@jeromepopiel388 Bro I was raised Catholic and was confirmed back in 87. I graduated HS, joined the army and didn’t think about religion for a long time. I went to some prot church with a band and a Bible sermon a couple times a year and ate some cookies and had a cup of coffee. Then came last May! An illumination of conscience drop on my head so hard and heavy I was crushed. I didn’t know what to do. I looked up the prot church I was attending and there was nothing on their website about confessing sins or what to do in my situation. I tried confessing by myself but it didn’t work. I looked up the local Catholic Churches and found one with confession in a few days. I ran to that church as fast as I could and confessed 30 years of mortal sins. When the priest told me I was absolved of my sins I wept! Don’t tell me that was anything but the Holy Spirit working on me. There is no darkness in the Holy Spirit! You should repent of those words.
I remember John MacArthur making a comment in one of his services stating that many catholics attend his service, They come here to learn scripture. 😂😂😂

Huh
@@kyky2718 Jeff said that if something was "developed over time" that was cause for it to be thrown out. By that standard, the Bible should be thrown out. I disagree with Jeff. Just because something develops over time is not cause for it to be thrown out.

Within the first two minutes of the video jeff denies sola scriptura replaces it with sola calvinus.
You should be very concerned when anyone tries to put themselves or anyone else between you and your personal connection to God. You can't build a personal connection with anyone through someone else.
Luke 11:27-28
"And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”'
Christ was presented with Mariology and instead emphasized faithfulness to His word
Jesus is not so much downplaying/snubbing his mother, but making a greater point to the woman in the passage that an insular love that prioritises/scales itself to only those immediately ‘like’ you, such as family and race, has no place in the Kingdom of God. The woman's sin was that she could only see Jesus in terms of his immediate, convenient relations (family)- but not the outreaching quality of his love, where all can join the holy fraternity.
This reading is preferable because it harmonises certain quotes and context (i.e.the tradition of the Mother of the Davidic King as Queen). Without it, you risk inadvertently pitting one verse against another, namely an anti-mariological take on “blessed are those rather who hear the word of God and keep it” against “all generations shall call me blessed”. We know scripture cannot contradict.
Hebrews 2:3 NKJV
how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him. Does it say we can neglect our salvation?
13:52 Jeff, don’t you remember the Scriptures when God said: “Mary will have compassion on whom she has compassion”
Humans have no power in themselves except to be be deceitfully wicked and sin.
No one goes to God except through the Lord Jesus Christ. No one goes to the Son except the Father, God “draws” gifts them to their Lord King.
If salvation is a matter of Autonomy then yes depending on how that is expressed freely then yes its up to an individual not just jesus making this a partnership or a mutual agreement
Oh how the traditions of men make VOID the word of God. Mark 7:13
The authority of Mary is deeply embedded in the Word of God. Her esteem is vested chiefly in how the Queen in the Davidic Kingdom was the mother of the King- not a wife. If Jesus is the Davidic King, the Son of David, then Mary is likewise uplifted to the role of Queen with its due authority- and moreso if the King is Messianic. She's not autonomous with power, as the Queen interceded the will of the King as his foremost counsellor. You can see the start of this Jewish/Biblical tradition in 2 Kings:19-20:
"So Bethsheba went to King Solomon, to speak on behalf of Adonijah. And the King rose to meet her, and bowed down to her; and had a throne brought for the King’s mother; and she sat on his right. Then she said “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me”. And the King said to her, “Make your request, my mother; for I will not refuse you”(Kings 2:19-20)
Similarly, Jesus' uplifting of Mary to Queen would be in accordance with the commandment to "honour (glorify in Hebrew) your mother and father).
Jeff Durbin refuses to debate competent Catholics. That tells you everything.
in the 1800's charles chiniquy x priest said they will not interpret the word unless they go by the "holy fathers" commentary so they will never get one verse right
What about Galations 6:19-21
1 Cor 6:9-11, and 2 Peter 3?
Is the kingdom of heaven not tied to salvation?
1Tim 2:5 , so what do I do with this scripture?? I will just trust the Word
The Mary dogma is the best example of the Catholic Church holding traditions over scripture. They will say “when Jesus was on the cross he looked at John and said see your mother and Mary see your son. See that shows you right there!” Uh what?
How did Mary and the saints suddenly become Omniscient? That they can hear the prayer of million at the same time. The entire Catholic Church fails just on the Marian doctrines alone. FULL STOP. "Oh but what about Rome?" Psalms 118:8-9 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. (9) It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." Jeremiah 17:5 "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD."
Who said she was omniscient? Because you lack logic and deduction skills doesn't mean the doctrines of Mary are wrong.
Read Revelations, Mary and Saints are not dead and they have prayers. Jesus did not appear with a fake hologram of Elijah and Abraham speaking to them on the mound when he transfigured. Peter thought he needed dot get tents for them. So clearly they were there.
Second, if the Mary and the Saints are with God, ever thought that God Himself is omniscient? That he can inform them of any particulars? Not only that, omniscience means you know *all things, not just prayers*. Furthermore merely knowing the prayers of all people does not automatically mean to be Omniscient as in knowing everything in the universe and beyond. God can simply empower them the gift of hearing prayers.
ChatGPT, a mere manmade product can hear and respond to the posts of billions of people simultaneously. And God can't empower someone with that Gift?
Wow.
@ so first Patrick I appreciate the reply. And I did miss speak. I did not mean omniscience. The Catholic Church believes that Mary is infinite. Now let me clarify this because in the catechism it says that Mary is finite. But at the same time, they also claim that Mary is outside of time and space. That actually is the definition of being infinite.
As for the amount of transfiguration, it was actually Moses not Abraham. And I don’t know how Moses and Elijah gives anyone permission to pray to them. The Bible is very clear that we are not to pray to the dead and I know the argument of the Catholic Church is to say that those that are in heaven are alive. And I would agree with you to that point, but the reality is from the physical world they are dead. Jesus said as much such as with Lazarus when he told the disciples plainly Lazarus is dead. The commandment to not pray to the dead is not a commandment to not pray to people in hell, who also are still very much alike. The commandment first is to pray to nobody, but God, and secondly, not to pray to anyone who has passed from this physical life.
The Catholics have absolutely no biblical basis to pray to Mary or to any of the Saints. There is no example of it. There is no command. It is simply a made up doctrine that came very late to the Roman Catholic Church. Also, Mary is never mentioned in the book of revelation . The last place that Mary is ever mentioned is in act chapter 1. For someone that the Catholics believe to be so important she has mentioned less than most of the people in scripture.
Also, Jesus himself in Mark chapter 13 clearly taught us that every person who is born again and does the wheel of the father is on equal terms with Mary. Mary herself was a sinner who confessed God as her Saviour. You don’t need to save your unless you are a sinner. The Bible also tells us in Romans chapter 3 that all have sinned, and there is none that is righteous no, not one.
Praying to Mary, the sinlessness of Mary, the immaculate conception of Mary, the assumption of Mary are all doctrines that are completely an absolutely made up. There is not one scriptural proof for it anywhere.
@ You: The Catholic Church believes that Mary is infinite. Now let me clarify this because in the catechism it says that Mary is finite. But at the same time, they also claim that Mary is outside of time and space. That actually is the definition of being infinite.
Response: What??? You make a lot of claims. let's start with Mary being infinite and outside of time and space? Only God is outside of temporal existence. Show me this in the CCC. There is a difference between Eternal or infinite (always existed) and Immortal (being created, having a beginning but then having everlasting life)
Let's start there. I think you are confusing the two. Show me in the CCC where they attributes God like qualities to Mary in terms of being Eternal.
Who ever said non catholic Christian’s have no desire to meet Mary?
I mean why wouldn't you?
I want to meet my heavenly Father, through Jesus. Mary is not foremost on the agenda.
@@firingallcylinders2949 idk 🤷🏻♂️. Who’s saying they wouldn’t? I can’t wait to meet her. We can worship our savior together.
Zero interest in praying to mary or bowing down to her😊
I'll meet with Mary after I meet with the Lord.
Hey Jeff Durbin, don't you believe that believers who are saved by grace through faith in Christ, have to have works to accompany salvation? I believe that makes salvation not about grace alone, but about grace and works, which can confuse people to look to their works, ultimately (potentially) trusting in them for salvation. Have you ever thought about preaching that salvation is by grace through faith ALONE, APART from any of our works?
Salvation is not by grace alone, that’s written no where in the scripture friend!
@@ramonmaldonado5803 if you're willing, please show me some Scripture that you think disprove salvation by grace alone. I'm curious why you believe that salvation depends on our works. Thank you
@@ramonmaldonado5803 Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 3:4-7, Romans 3:28, Acts 16:31 & John 3:16 (both say "believe", not do good works, try, put in effort, etc.) Romans 11:6 says that salvation is either by grace alone or works alone, but not both. In Matthew 7:21-23, those people Jesus was describing, we're pleading with him their works that they did in His name to enter Heaven; they even said that they performed "many wonderful works", but Jesus Will cast those people out. It sounds like they trusted in their works to get saved. Jesus says that those who do the will of the Father will be saved; John 6:40 talks about the will of the Father and that is to believe on Jesus Christ. Again, it doesn't mention trying our best to get into Heaven or do many works to try and achieve salvation, etc.
@@GraceAloneKJV Rev. 2:5 James 2:21-24 Acts 10:35 Acts 26:20 Ephesians 2:10, works are a part of this Christian life and therefore if we don’t do the works I refer you back to Rev 2:5
@@GraceAloneKJV Question for you can you show me where it’s says salvation is by grace through faith ALONE? I’ve never read that verse.
While I’m am no Catholic and certainly do believe Catholicism is very much not a Christian faith, Jeff Durban is no saint himself, for you have to remember he sees through a dark glass dimly because of a demonic lens, a theology called Calvinism.
Jeff starts out the video with what we would call question begging, for example “whether Jesus keeps the ones he saves.” Of course, Calvinism (God determines who he sends to hell or heaven before birth) believes Jesus keeps the ones he saves, obviously, Jeff believes it’s all predetermined.
The statement Jeff makes assumes Jesus has to keep the ones he saves (nope). It’s easy to use a obviously false religion such as Catholicism to muster your own theology making it easy to swallow in the presence of like-minded Calvinist. However, the theme of ones (true believer) falling out of fellowship with God is laced all throughout the N.T. Jeff will continue to use “elect” (falsely) as though God has preselected before birth salvation for all.
It would be foolish of God to extend His grace to all people only to reject them beforehand, before they were born. Tit 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age…
Jeff’s take on Phil 1:3-6(a weak one), once you have fellowship with God, it is up to God to bring it to completion. Sounds true, yes, but not the whole truth. In order for God to bring anything to completion, you have to participate in the gospel. God will always do his part on his end, but he will not force himself on a believer who’s earthly cares of the world dominate their walk. As in the parable of the Sower.
Luke 8:13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. Jeff will relabel those that fall away as “false confessions of faith.” Jeff will continue to replace phrases his theology might not agree with as “false confessions of faith.”
As stated above we are called to endure, endure to the end. Mark 13:3 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, shall be saved.
Rom 11:17-24 But if some of the branches (Jews) were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I (Gentiles) might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches (Jews), neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
Notice, if we do not continue in God’s kindness abiding in Him, what happens, we will be cut off just as the Jews, for God is no respecter of persons.
You cannot cherry pick and form an argument without bring in to light the full council of His Word as Jeff is so good at doing, especially using a weak false faith such as Catholicism.
Paul reminds the believers in Philippians 2, that he hoped his work in the gospel would not be in vain, which leads me to another one of Paul’s reminders of believers whose belief might be in vain.
1 Cor 15:1 Now I would remind you, BROTHERS, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you-unless you believed in vain.
Col 1:22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
As you can read for yourself, there are conditions upon the response for the believer.
Heb 3:12-14 Take care, BROTHERS(Christians), lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.
In the above scriptures Paul never alludes to as Jeff does ““false confessions of faith.” Jeff will raise the point “there will always be false confessions of faith” without giving credence to other verses that are against the mantra leading you to think there is no falling away, but Jeff sees only false believers.
Know look at Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
What is lawlessness? Sin. As in Heb 3:12-14, (as stated above) sin hardens the heart to the point of falling away.
Once again, Jeff will not raise the other points in the passage, mainly lawlessness, which in this setting is basically sin, another man-made idea trying to combine worldliness with righteousness. The word “knew” in this passage means to come to know, to recognize. It implies a knowledge that is gained through experience or personal relationship. Also read Corinthians 8:3. “The one who loves God is known by God. The word “known” here is the same Greek word used in Mat 7:21. What it DOES NOT mean, is that Jesus never permitted you in the kingdom as though you were a false believer as a Calvinist might interpret. With this in mind, the passage is made much clearer. To be known by the Lord is to love God, and those who love God will keep his Word, simple as that.
1 John 2. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. Notice "keeps his word" persistent unrepented sin and behavior will keep a "believer" form entering the Kingdom of God/Heaven per Gal 5:19.
Joh 15:6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. (abide means to remain/stay).
Jesus states, “Why do you call me Lord and not do as I say.” I’m sure Jeff will also see this as a “false confessions of faith.” Whether a true believer (one who believes for a while) or one whose faith was not viable to begin with, the scripture holds true on both ends.
Jeff will raise the point “there will always be false confessions of faith” without giving credence to the verses above that will lead you to think there is no falling away, but Jeff sees only false confessions.
Paul’s writing to the church. Rom 2. But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS/works:
to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.
There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.
Jeff will say, about false believers, “they never been filled with the spirit of God.”
However, Paul’s warning to spirit filled believers in Gal 5 to walk by the Spirit and not follow after the desires of the flesh, “I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God”.
Paul was also “filled with the spirit of God” and even warned himself after preaching to others, he himself might be disqualified from receiving the prize (salvation) an imperishable wreath.
There are so many spiritual errors in the video on Jeff's side, timewise the comment section will not hold all my thoughts in one statement.
1 Corinthians 9:27 NKJV
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. Did Paul believe he could become disqualified?
I watch Daily Wire a lot...the whole cast is arms length away from Sola Scriptura. I worry I'll get sucked into harassy. I'm clear on Christ is the Only.Way
Stay prayerful and watchful. Stay in Scripture. Also, be careful to take substantive breaks from all news and social media, as you protect and reset yourself, your soul, etc. Many of us, including myself, have to be careful in this area.
God's peace be with you.
Jeff made a claim not found in the bible. He said that Mary (or any person in heaven) cannot hear or know our prayers. The bible is not clear on that.
Yes they will say see with the first miracle when Jesus turned water to wine Jesus said woman what does this have to with me. And Mary says do whatever he says. So Catholic Church says SEE Jesus will do whatever his mother asks.
Yes Catholics believe you have to “work” to stay in the faith. That’s how the Catholic Church is structured. Jesus saves you and forgives your sins up to salvation after that the church takes over. So you need/have to go to church to receive the sacraments and take part in communion confession attend mass etc etc etc, that way you can stay in a state of Grace.
Unbiblical
Examples? How about examples from Christ? In Luke 8:13.
From Paul? Romans 2:6-8 and 1st Timothy 1 19-20.
