      @@ericsower7022 Hi there.... so what a technical discrepancy! I will tell you what, it is claimed to be the word of god and without error....for if it had errors then god would be fallible which is kind of a big thing in religion.
      The point I hope you see is because of 'a technical error' or blatant lies you really cannot trust Paul's scriptures to be reliable testimony.
      You of course know Paul did not have his claimed conversion until some time after 36AD, while the Jesus guy died in 30 or 33AD, depending on who is counting...So Paul never actually meet Jesus before his death, nor did Paul witness any of the biblical claims which is another big deal considering his scriptures make most of the main bible claims! Remember Galatians 1:11-16 Paul's scriptures contain no eye witness accounts, no information from any other person and no information from any other source, that is if you can believe Paul!
      See were this is going?

      I agree that Paul did not strip the gospels of their Jewish content, but the gospels happened before Paul even got saved and then later on wrote letters to different parts of the body of Yehoshua HaMeshiach (the original Hebrew Name of Jesus Christ). To say his letters preceded the gospels doesn’t make sense. But out of curiosity, what do you mean?

      ​@@greglongmore6503 About Idolatry
      Exodus 20:4 You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters.
      The Lord did not prohibit statues; he prohibited worshiping them. God actually commanded the making of images. Just five chapters later, God commanded Moses to build the Ark of the Covenant, which would contain the presence of God and was to be venerated as the holiest place in all of Israel. Here is what God commanded Moses concerning the statues on it:
      And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends (Ex. 25:18-19).
      In Numbers 21:8-9, not only did our Lord order Moses to make another statue in the form of a bronze serpent, but he commanded the children of Israel to look at it in order to be healed. The context of the passage is one where Israel had rebelled against God, and a plague of deadly snakes was sent as a just punishment. This statue of a snake had no power of itself-we know from John 3:14 that it was merely a type of Christ-but God used this image of a snake as an instrument to effect healing in his people.
      Further, in 1 Kings 6, Solomon built a temple for the glory of God, described as follows:
      In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. . . . He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house. . . . He carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees, and open flowers, in the inner and outer rooms. . . . For the entrance to the inner sanctuary he made doors of olivewood. . . . He covered the two doors of olivewood with carvings of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers; he overlaid them with gold (1 Kgs. 6:23, 27, 29, 31, 32).
      King Solomon ordered the construction of multiple images of things both “in heaven above” (angels) and “in the earth beneath” (palm trees and open flowers). After the completion of the temple, God declared he was pleased with its construction (1 Kgs. 9:3).
      It becomes apparent, given the above evidence, that a strictly literal interpretation of Exodus 20:2-5 is erroneous. Otherwise, we would have to conclude that God prohibits something in Exodus 20 and elsewhere commands the very same thing.
      Why would God use these images of serpents, angels, palm trees, and open flowers? Why didn’t he heal the people directly rather than use a “graven image”? Why didn’t he command Moses and Solomon to build an ark and a temple without any images at all?
      First, God knows what his own commandments mean. He never condemned the use of statues absolutely. Second, God created man as a being who is both spiritual and physical. To draw us to himself, God uses both spiritual and physical means. He will use statues, the temple, or even creation itself to guide us to our heavenly home.
      Psalm 19:1 tells us: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.” Romans 1:20 says: “Ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made.” Gazing at a sunset-or a great painting of a sunset-and contemplating the greatness of God through the beauty of his creation is not idolatry. Nor is it idolatrous to look at statues of great saints of old and honor them for the great things God has done through them. It is no more idolatrous for us to desire to imitate their holy lives and honor them than it was for Paul to exhort the Corinthians to imitate his own holy life (1 Cor. 4:16) and to “esteem very highly” those who were “over [the Thessalonians] in the Lord and admonish [them]” (1 Thess. 5:12-13).
      Having statues honoring God or great saints brings to mind. For Catholics, having statues is just as natural as-having pictures in our wallets to remind us of the ones we love here on earth. But reminding ourselves of loved ones is a far cry from idolatry.

    I think your reference of Jesus travelling through Palestine is not historically accurate. Jesus traveled through Judea, also known as the land of Canaan. The people in this area called Philistines originated as an immigrant group from the Aegean (Greece) that settled in Canaan.
    The land was renamed in 132-136 CE, by the Roman emperor Hadrian to Syria-Palaestina, the Jews traditional enemies, as punishment for the Jews insurrection at that time.

Jesus only interfaced with two (the woman and the Centurian) non-Jews throughout His total recorded Ministry. Jesus states His (total) purpose of his ministry: establish the Kingdom in Israel.

      According to the Holy Quran, Jesus didn't claim that he was the son of Allah(God) But He said...
      Zuhruf 64
      I seek refugee in Allah from the Satan.
      In the name of Allah ,Rahman ,Rahim
      "Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is a straight path."
      -----------------
      And on the resurrection day Allah will ask Jesus about the Christian faith.
      Quran - Maaide 116-118
      And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities (gods) besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
      I said not to them except what You commanded me - to worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. And I was a witness over them as long as I was among them; but when You took me up, You were the Observer over them, and You are, over all things, Witness.
      If You should punish them - indeed they are Your servants; but if You forgive them - indeed it is You who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
      ----------------
      If you love Jesus, accept him as a Messenger not as the God and not as the son of Allah. If you are follower of Jesus, believe in Messenger Muhammad, too. Because that's what he really wants you to do. And he heralded the coming of Messenger Muhammed. Jesus said to his people this👇👇👇
      Quran -Saff -6
      And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."
      Quran -Women 171
      O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.
      ----------------------------
      I invite you to be a Muslim. Latest, last and only valid religion in the Hereafter. First step is to say "I witness that there is no god but ALLAH, and i witness that Mohammad is Messenger of Allah" and believe in this. Islam is a monotheistic religion. Allah doesn't accept the existence of false deities and He orders humanity to believe in only one God, Him. He explains why it is impossible the existence of gods other than Him in Holy Quran in chapter Isra which means The Night Journey and in chapter Enbiya which means Prophets.
      Quran-Isra-43
      Say, [O Muhammad], "If there had been with Him [other] gods, as they say, then they [each] would have sought to the Owner of the Throne a way."
      Exalted is He and high above what they say by great sublimity.
      The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.
      Quran-Prophets-22
      Had there been within the heavens and earth gods besides ALLAH, they both would have been ruined. So exalted is Allah, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
      --------------------
      Six Pillars of Faith in Islam
      1-To believe in Omnipotent Allah (GOD) (without ascribing partners to Him. Without saying "He has a son." Without saying "He has a helper out of weakness")
      2-Angels (Without giving them woman names. Without saying "They are daughters of Allah")
      3-All Holy Scriptures (Books revealed by Allah)
      4-All Messengers (accepting them as human beings not gods or sons of God)
      5-Judgement Day (Resurrection Day)
      6-Destiny
      Five Pillars of Islam
      1- SHAHADA
      To say "I witness that there is no god save Allah, and i witness that Muhammad is His Messenger."
      2- SALAT
      To perform prayer 5 times a day.
      3- SAWM
      Fasting in the month Ramadan according to lunar calendar. (29-30 days)
      4- ZAKAT
      If you are rich you give alms to poor people.
      5- HAJJ
      To make the pilgrimage to Mecca, Kaba if you can afford. You become a pilgrim after this visit.

      Please read. Exodus 20 1-5
      The existence of allah and mohumad is a blasphemy to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus says NOBODY comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME! The only way to salvation is through repentance of your sins and belief that the Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua died on the cross for our sins and iniquity and was raised back to life on the third day (as witnessed by hundreds) your salvation is not by works or how many times a day you pray but through the blood of Christ JESUS who died for YOU and me.

      @Jesus_is_the_only_savior-7 Месяц назад

      @@dailyviewstv5323 Question: "Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical?"
      Answer: The issue concerning any church and its practices should be "Is this Biblical?" If a teaching is Biblical (taken in context), it should be embraced. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church is doing His will and obeying His Word than whether it can trace a line of succession back to Jesus' apostles. Jesus was very concerned about abandoning the Word of God to follow the traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently invalid-there are some good and valuable traditions. Again, the issue must be whether a doctrine, practice, or tradition is Biblical. How then does the Roman Catholic Church compare with the teachings of the Word of God?
      Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15).
      Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation cannot be guaranteed or assured. 1 John 5:13 states that the letter of 1 John was written for the purpose of assuring believers of the CERTAINTY of their salvation.
      Good Works: The Roman Catholic Church states that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism) and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confession of sin to a priest, etc.) The Bible states that Christians are saved by grace through faith, totally apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24).
      Baptism: In the New Testament baptism is ALWAYS practiced AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the means of salvation; it is faith in the Gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches baptismal regeneration of infants, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible hint of infant baptism in the Bible that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the whole household of the Philippian jailer was baptized in Acts 16:33. However, the context nowhere mentions infants. Acts 16:31 declares that salvation is by faith. Paul spoke to all of the household in verse 32, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not of infants.
      Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics to not only pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, we are taught in Scripture to only pray to God (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7).
      Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between the clergy and the "lay people," whereas the New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9).
      Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is infused with grace upon reception of the sacraments. Such teaching is nowhere found in Scripture.
      Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless a believer is hindered, the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is by confessing them to a priest. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9).
      Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, a perpetual virgin, and the co-redemptress who ascended into heaven. In Scripture, she is portrayed as an obedient, believing servant of God, who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have any basis in the Bible. The idea of Mary being the co-redemptress and another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only redeemer. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men.
      Many other examples could be given.
      These issues alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as being unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on Scripture. That is why Scripture must be the standard of Christian faith and practice. The Word of God is always true and reliable. The same cannot be said of church tradition. Our guideline is to be: "What does Scripture say?" (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:11). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

    The Catholics attribute Jesus saying something like "upon this rock I'll build my church". Church in old Greek is ekklesía, which means assembly. Catholics argue that Jesus meant assembly as an institution, i.e. a permanent assembly. And also claim that Jesus mean Peter, the first Pope, to be the "rock", as Peter comes from the old Greek Petros meaning "rock". This is why they claim Catholicism was established by Jesus himself.

      I can assure you, that Peter has NOTHING to do with the Catholic Church. Peter would be the last one to worship Mary. The video is a lie bases on lies of Catholicism thrown together by satan.
      Catholicism was started by Ignatus who defected from The Saints in 90 A.D. because he didn’t want to share in leadership. Ignatus wanted to be The Sole Leader, so he started Catholicism and elevated the office of a bishop to head leader and self proclaimed himself to be a bishop.
      I am a senior citizen, we were taught this at a young age , but now lies are being mingled in by satan to hide the truth of the matter. As a matter of fact we were taught in school and college at that time that the world’s three major religions were Catholics , Christians , and Jews. This was before Muslims had a explosive growth. The Catholics just started to call themselves Christians about maybe 20 years ago or so
      Catholics do not follow the same doctrine as Christians.
      Catholics esteem Mary as the Highest and that’s who they pray to.
      Christians KNOW CHRIST as The Highest and that’s who we pray to.
      Catholics think salvation is through the works.
      Christians know salvation is to be BORN AGAIN of water and of The Spirit, like Jesus Christ said in John 3:5.
      Catholics believe in baptizing babies.
      Christians know that Jesus said Children are already the Greatest in The Kingdom of GOD

    I find it odd that this "history" of how Catholicism started doesn't even explain why the word was even used. Catholic comes from the Greek meaning "universal" and "of the whole"; The term was used to differentiate the Church from any of a number of heresies which propped up in the first few centuries. Catholics were not Gnostics, Arians, nor Donatists etc...

    Born again, or to experience the new birth, is a phrase, particularly in evangelicalism, that refers to a "spiritual rebirth", or a regeneration of the human spirit.

      One of the reasons that Christ was a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense was because He was proclaiming a spiritual kingdom:
      My kingdom is not of this world - John 18:36; the kingdom of God is within you - Luke 17:20-21.
      Clearly, the majority of the Jews missed their Messiah because they were looking for a physical kingdom.
      The disciples too, were looking for a physical kingdom, prior to Pentecost, they held that expectation and view.
      After Pentecost, when they received the Holy Spirit, Who led them "into all truth" and taught them of the "things to come," their understanding of the nature of the kingdom was enlightened, and they no longer taught of a physical kingdom. Rather, they applied spiritual interpretations to Old Testament prophecies, used them to describe the Church, and associated the kingdom with the gospel.

At minute marker 7:06 the narrator says that Saint Ignatius used the word, "catholic" in a letter he wrote in the year 108. The image shows Ignatius of Loyola, who was born in 1491 and died in 1556. There was a previous Saint Ignatius (of Antioch) also known as Saint Ignatius Theophorus. This one is known for his letters. The dates of his birth and death are uncertain (as well as most of his letters), but it is likely that the reference in the video corresponds to this one (Saint Ignatius of Antioch) , rather than the one depicted (Saint Ignatius of Loyola), who founded the Jesuits in 1540.

This order was to use any means, including mass murder, just like the inquisitions, to accomplish this task. They are one of the most despicable groups to curse the face of the earth, so dastardly that Jefferson and Lincoln warned us about them, and even several popes outlawed them THAT'S pretty bad.

    Paul wrote his (verified) letters many years before the first of the Gospels - so to say he "Stripped the Gospels of their Jewish roots" is anachronistic.
    ALSO, Paul was and remained, till his death, a Jew and, at least some scholars, use that as a lens to explore his writings.

      If Paul was always a Jew, then Catholic's who leave the Catholic church are always Catholic's. Which is true anyway because the Catholic Baptism leaves a indelible mark, which cannot be changed or erased. So if the Catholic leaves the Catholic church his Baptism remains intact. He does not lose his Catholic Baptism if Rebaptised he still retains his original Baptism. So Catholic's who leave the Catholic church will be purged of their dislike and disbelief, and some may be in Purgatory until the End of Time.

      Paul may have functioned like St John the Baptist getting the gentiles prepared to know Jesus and repent. He claims only to have baptized Onesemose ( who later became a bishop). He admonishes about not receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus without acknowledging the fact, but he may not have been part of the priesthood to change the bread and wine into Christ's True Presence.

      Question: "Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical?"
      Answer: The issue concerning any church and its practices should be "Is this Biblical?" If a teaching is Biblical (taken in context), it should be embraced. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church is doing His will and obeying His Word than whether it can trace a line of succession back to Jesus' apostles. Jesus was very concerned about abandoning the Word of God to follow the traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently invalid-there are some good and valuable traditions. Again, the issue must be whether a doctrine, practice, or tradition is Biblical. How then does the Roman Catholic Church compare with the teachings of the Word of God?
      Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15).
      Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation cannot be guaranteed or assured. 1 John 5:13 states that the letter of 1 John was written for the purpose of assuring believers of the CERTAINTY of their salvation.
      Good Works: The Roman Catholic Church states that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism) and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confession of sin to a priest, etc.) The Bible states that Christians are saved by grace through faith, totally apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24).
      Baptism: In the New Testament baptism is ALWAYS practiced AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the means of salvation; it is faith in the Gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches baptismal regeneration of infants, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible hint of infant baptism in the Bible that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the whole household of the Philippian jailer was baptized in Acts 16:33. However, the context nowhere mentions infants. Acts 16:31 declares that salvation is by faith. Paul spoke to all of the household in verse 32, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not of infants.
      Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics to not only pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, we are taught in Scripture to only pray to God (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7).
      Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between the clergy and the "lay people," whereas the New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9).
      Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is infused with grace upon reception of the sacraments. Such teaching is nowhere found in Scripture.
      Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless a believer is hindered, the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is by confessing them to a priest. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9).
      Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, a perpetual virgin, and the co-redemptress who ascended into heaven. In Scripture, she is portrayed as an obedient, believing servant of God, who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have any basis in the Bible. The idea of Mary being the co-redemptress and another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only redeemer. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men.
      Many other examples could be given.
      These issues alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as being unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on Scripture. That is why Scripture must be the standard of Christian faith and practice. The Word of God is always true and reliable. The same cannot be said of church tradition. Our guideline is to be: "What does Scripture say?" (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:11). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

Even though they identified them as inspired writings in the second century they spread throughout the known world with different scribes copying the manuscripts they had at their disposal.
      The church realized that there was changes being made to some of the manuscripts that were not in other versions. So they realized they had an issue. By the fourth century they collected a copy of the manuscripts from all areas and began to compare all the inspired Christian writing we know of as the New Testament. Through comparing thousands of scribed versions they were able to see how the text was changed in one region that didn’t match what other regions had. By analyzing each of the variations they were able to construct the canon by rooting out the variances. This became cannon and the texts are stored in Latin. An unchanging version of language. The oldest manuscripts they have are preserved and the fragments are compared to modern interpretations. Even the Dead Sea scrolls when they were recovered were compared with the cannon to see if they matched and they do.
      What is left now with updating of the language to reflect modern language variations to make them easier to read. These are always compared to the original text to ensure accuracy.

      “The way” or what was known simply as the church practiced what is described in the Bible. Breaking bread, fellowship, worship, praying, teachings or sermons(reading of scripts), fasting. After Christ gnostics and others perverted the words and fables of apocryphal nonsense. The canonized books were carefully chosen by what was taught and considered true, god inspired for the years that followed the Christ. Ignatius spoke of the Catholic Church as an adjective not a noun or church religion. Constantine a high pagan priest added to the teachings to form the RCC. Mixed paganism with Christianity to appease the pagans and have them convert comfortably. Catholicism has added traditions, rituals, practices and other unbiblical teachings making it not Christianity anymore. The first church in Jerusalem is nothing, night and day of what the RCC church is.

Some people dedicate their lives to these places of worship just to give people a beautiful place to pray and to give God the house He deserves. They literally dedicated blood, sweat, and tears. Moreover, Mary might have sinned again and there is no proof she didn't. God's mercy is bigger than our sins. Moreover, God calls sinners so saying the RCC is full of sinners does nothing to prove it wrong. Jesus was in the company of sinners. Thus, Jesus is in the company of RCC and all Christians who call on His name.

      Micah 6:2
      New American Standard Bible
      "Listen, you mountains, to the indictment by the Lord,
      And you enduring foundations of the earth,
      Because the Lord has a case against His people;
      And He will dispute with Israel." This is God the Father speaking. It says nothing of an "Eternal Son."
      The term "Eternal Son" is a Greek philosophic idea invented in post-Biblical times in the 3rd through 5th centuries AD. It is not a Hebrew or a Christian Apostolic term. You cannot prove that the term "Eternal Son" existed before the Church Counsel of Nicia in 325 AD: More than 300 years after the birth of Christ.
      This is Platonic-Christianity to believe Jesus was eternal and that he is God. (Carefully read Luke 1:35): He was created in the womb of Mary through a biological miracle, and the verse says for this very reason (the miracle) he shall be called "The Son of God." No other reason can be supplanted or substituted for "Why" he is called the Son of God.
      The Apostles knew nothing of an "Eternal Son," and the Bible does not teach it. It is only the school of Plato (which lasted 900 years) and sophism which has set the Church into delusionary false doctrines! Jesus is the Son of God, not the Eternal Son!

      "Against Heresies" attributed to Irenaeus is a most blatant f -ry or false attribution.
      In addition, "Against Heresies" destroys the chronology of the Pauline Epistles.
      Irenaeus was a supposed Presbyter and Bishop of the Church of Lyons
      In the Church of Lyons, it was taught that Jesus was CRUCIFIED when an OLD man in the reign of Claudius or about 20 years AFTER the 15th year of Tiberius c 49 CE.
      The Pauline Corpus was UNKNOWN to the Church of Lyons since a Pauline writer claimed or implied he PREACHED Christ Crucified since the time of King Aretas c 37-41 CE.
      It is virtually impossible to TEACH in the CHURCH of Lyons that Jesus was crucified in the time of Claudius if they had knowledge and the HISTORY of Jesus and Paul.
      "Against Heresies" must be the work of MULTIPLE authors.
      The Canonised Gospels and Pauline Corpus are all LATE writings fabricated AFTER "Against Heresies" 2.22 or AFTER at least c 175-180 CE.
      "Against Heresies" 2.22 is a two-thousand word argument to attempt to show Jesus Christ was about 50 years old when he was crucified.
      "Against Heresies" 2.22 does NOT appear to be the product of "scribal error" since the author claimed John the disciple did TEACH that Jesus was about fifty years old.
      And NOT only that, the Gospel and ALL those conversant with John did claim that Jesus was about 50 years old when he suffered.
      Let me recap the claims of "Against Heresies" 2.22. at the crucifixion of Jesus
      1. John the disciple PREACHED Jesus was about 50 YEARS OLD.
      2. The Gospel stated Jesus was about 50 years old.
      3. All those who were conversant with John did admit they were told Jesus was about 50 years old.
      There is one thing that NOW must be established.
      When was Jesus born according to "Against Heresies"?
      The author of 'AH' (Against Heresies") used gLuke to claim Jesus was about to be 30 years old at the Baptism.

      6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet BIBLE says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19.
      7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. BIBLE says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5.
      8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians.
      9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet BIBLE says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18.
      10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”.
      11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10.
      12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10.
      13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6.
      14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it.
      15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same GOD. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
      R Catholicism is full of contradiction and anti Scriptures. Nothing is more evil than a c--- disguising as Christianity deceiving many.

    According to Edward Gibbons, The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire, after Constantine had his Vision of The Cross which inspired his army to victory, and he won the civil war and became emperor, he decreed that Christianity be legalized. But the old Roman ways were still common, and the magistrates were powerful: they were keepers of the temples, which had been temples to the gods, Jupiter and Mars and all those guys,. Magistrates (magi = wise, powerful) were municipal officers, performed weddings, funerals, all that AND executed contracts - and collected taxes and were allowed to keep a commission, so it was a lucrative position. Under Roman law, church and state were united. The Emperor was Pontificus Maximus", Head Dude, and his word was "divined" as inspired by the gods, and therefore became law. (USA = separation of church and state) After Constantine legalized the church, the magistrates all became Catholic bishops! so they could control the temple, and all the Roman temples, throughout the vast empire, became roman catholic churches. But they required new robes. And the Pope, The Pontiff, wears a pointy hat. That's how.

    • @Jesus_is_the_only_savior-7
      @Jesus_is_the_only_savior-7 Месяц назад

      Question: "Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical?"
      Answer: The issue concerning any church and its practices should be "Is this Biblical?" If a teaching is Biblical (taken in context), it should be embraced. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church is doing His will and obeying His Word than whether it can trace a line of succession back to Jesus' apostles. Jesus was very concerned about abandoning the Word of God to follow the traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently invalid-there are some good and valuable traditions. Again, the issue must be whether a doctrine, practice, or tradition is Biblical. How then does the Roman Catholic Church compare with the teachings of the Word of God?
      Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is by baptismal regeneration and is maintained through the Catholic sacraments unless a willful act of sin is committed that breaks the state of sanctifying grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace which is received through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a change of the heart wrought in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and the fruit of that new life in Christ (John 15).
      Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation cannot be guaranteed or assured. 1 John 5:13 states that the letter of 1 John was written for the purpose of assuring believers of the CERTAINTY of their salvation.
      Good Works: The Roman Catholic Church states that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism) and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confession of sin to a priest, etc.) The Bible states that Christians are saved by grace through faith, totally apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24).
      Baptism: In the New Testament baptism is ALWAYS practiced AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the means of salvation; it is faith in the Gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches baptismal regeneration of infants, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible hint of infant baptism in the Bible that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the whole household of the Philippian jailer was baptized in Acts 16:33. However, the context nowhere mentions infants. Acts 16:31 declares that salvation is by faith. Paul spoke to all of the household in verse 32, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not of infants.
      Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics to not only pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, we are taught in Scripture to only pray to God (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7).
      Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a distinction between the clergy and the "lay people," whereas the New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9).
      Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is infused with grace upon reception of the sacraments. Such teaching is nowhere found in Scripture.
      Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that unless a believer is hindered, the only way to receive the forgiveness of sins is by confessing them to a priest. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is to be made to God (1 John 1:9).
      Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, a perpetual virgin, and the co-redemptress who ascended into heaven. In Scripture, she is portrayed as an obedient, believing servant of God, who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have any basis in the Bible. The idea of Mary being the co-redemptress and another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only redeemer. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and men.
      Many other examples could be given.
      These issues alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as being unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on Scripture. That is why Scripture must be the standard of Christian faith and practice. The Word of God is always true and reliable. The same cannot be said of church tradition. Our guideline is to be: "What does Scripture say?" (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:11). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 declares, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

      The reformers tried hard to correct the catholic errors and spread the word that the papacy was the antichrist power. But the jesuit order was created to suppress that truth.
      Today, the closest we have to truth is the Adventist church. Until recently, this church was the only one giving the biblical warning to come out of Babylon (the papacy), as well as honoring the 7th day Sabbath that the papacy changed to Sunday and violated God's law arrogantly

    For those who would claim that Peter is the rock upon which Christ’s church was built. This is not the case and there are many in church history who would disagree with Catholics on this matter.
    The Greek word for Peter is petros which means a single rock or a boulder. It is not upon him that Christ’s Church was built.
    The Greek word for rock in this passage is petra which means a rocky foundation or bedrock and it is upon this petra that Christ builds His church. Now what is the petra that Jesus is referring to? In context, it is the confession that Peter gave “you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” It is upon this foundation, something revealed from the Father in heaven that Christ builds His church, not on a fallible and sinful man (like all of us) like Peter.
    The word Rock is a title God uses of Himself and it is clearly applied to Jesus (Deuteronomy 32:4, 15, 18, 32:30-31; 2 Samuel 23:3; Psalm 89:26; Isaiah 17:10; 30:29; 44:8; Habakkuk 1:12; 1 Corinthians 10:1-5; Matthew 16:18
    Roman Catholicism claims that Peter was the first Pope and the office of Pope began with him. Based on Peter’s own words, we are given no indication that he was a pope or ever saw himself as the leader above all after Jesus’ ascension.
    1 Peter 5:1-3 NASB
    [1] Therefore, I exhort the elders among you, as your fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a partaker also of the glory that is to be revealed, [2] shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain, but with eagerness; [3] nor yet as lording it over those allotted to your charge, but proving to be examples to the flock.
    CHURCH FATHERS QUOTES ON MATTHEW 16:18:
    Augustine of Hippo:
    “Peter, called after this rock, represented the person of the Church which is built upon this rock, and has received 'the keys of the kingdom of heaven.' For, ‘Thou art Peter’ and not Thou art the rock' was said to him. But 'the rock was Christ,' in confessing whom, as also the whole Church confesses, Simon was called
    Peter.”
    Jerome:
    “The one foundation which the apostolic architect laid is our Lord Jesus Christ. Upon this stable and firm foundation, which has itself been laid on solid ground, the Church of Christ is built .. for the Church was founded upon a rock ... upon this rock the Lord established his Church; and the apostle Peter received his name from this rock.... The rock is Christ, Who gave to His apostles, that they also should be called rocks, 'Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My Church.”
    John Chrysostom:
    “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church;' that is, on the faith of his confession.”
    Basil of Seluecia:
    “Now Christ called this confession a rock, and he named the one who confessed it 'Peter,' perceiving the appellation which was suitable to the author of this confession. For this is the solemn rock of religion, this the basis of salvation, this the wall of faith and the foundation of truth: 'For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus.”
