    I believe that Pastor Doug Batchelor is a godly man and tells the truth! How about instead of everyone trying to bicker with each other, how about instead everyone reads the HOLY WORD with good intent on searching for the truth and ask GOD for the guidance. I guarantee if you read it searching for the truth with humbleness, the LORD will reveal the truth to you and you will truly be blessed! GOD BLESS everyone!

      Protestant teachings are FULL OF CONTRADICTION.
      For example???
      1. Protestants preach an "invisible" and "Spiritual" Church, while they hypocritically reach deep down into gullible people's pockets for money in a very "visible" place. Why do Protestants preach an "invisible" or "Spiritual" Church??? To hide the fact and truth they have absolutely no history back to Jesus Christ or beyond a 1500'S "man" Martin Luther.
      2. Protestants teach a self contradictory false teaching "Bible Alone", which ironically is found absolutely no where in the Bible.
      3. Protestants say "everything has to be in the Bible to be believed". Where is that statement even in Sacred Scriptures??? Instead, what do Sacred Scriptures say??? John 21:25, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 or especially Acts 1:3. Which ONE CHURCH has these "40 days" of Jesus Christ's teachings that are not in the Bible per the Bible???
      4. Protestants say "ORAL TRADITION" is to be rejected. Why??? Because, not one "man made" Protestant denomination has history back to Jesus Christ, so they have to reject it - despite what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 clearly says.
      5. Protestants say the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH" is the Bible. 1 Timothy 3:15 clearly states "the Church" singular - meaning the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH - is the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH", who was the Church that ultimately put the Bible together in the first place.
      6. Protestants say "the Bible" is the final authority. As a result, it has led to 35,000 and growing "divisions" - as they each become their own "Pope" deciding what is correct or not. Conversely, we see Jesus Christ giving His final "authority" to resolve faith and moral disputes to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per Matthew 18:17.
      7. Protestants preach "Faith Alone". The Bible clearly rebukes this specific false teaching by stating in James 2:24 "NOT BY FAITH ALONE". In John 13:34, Jesus Christ commands us in the NEW COVENANT to "love", which clearly is an action or work that is needed (John 5:29, 15:12, 17, Romans 2:6, Philippians 2:12, Colossians 1:10, Acts 26:20, etc.) for salvation.
      8. Protestants say the Holy Eucharist is just "symbolism", which ironically is another word not found in the Bible just like "Bible Alone". However, Jesus Christ Himself (WHO CANNOT LIE) repeats over and over in the Bible "THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD" (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 6:51, 54-58) and is needed for salvation (John 6:54-55) or for "Death to Passover" in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19), is the true fulfilled "forever" GOD liturgically commanded "Bread of the PRESENCE" (Leviticus 24:5-9).
      9. Protestants say Matthew 23:9 "call no man father" is an indictment against the Catholic Church priests being called "Father", while they hypocritically call their own biological father's "father".
      In that Matthew 23:9 statement of Jesus Christ's, Protestants don't understand Jesus was using a hyperbole teaching emphasizing not to get caught up in honors or titles that can detract from proper worship due to our Heavenly "Father". Proof??? Judges 17:10, 18:19. What did GOD allow His old covenant priesthood to be called??? Philem 10 and especially 1 Corinthians 4:15. What did Catholic St. Paul consider himself in the New Covenant???
      10. Protestants say "no statues" or "pictures" as they do not understand we have moved from an old covenant "invisible" GOD to a New Covenant "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-23) whom "adopted" us into His Family (Galatians 4:4-7) through "water (Baptism) and Spirit(Laying of Hands)" (John 3:5).
      If GOD is now our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our King Brother, then who logically would be our Queen Mother??? John 19:27 and Revelation 12:1-6, 17. Per Revelation 12:17, whose children are we really??? Got any statues or pictures of your family???
      11. Protestants say "no man" can forgive sins. However, in the old covenant GOD clearly used ordained "men", the Leviticus Priesthood, to forgive sins (Leviticus 5:5-6, Numbers 5:5-9). In Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 what same "power" did Jesus Christ give to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or to the NEW COVENANT ordained "men" of GOD???
      12. Protestants say the Biblical "Harlot" is the Catholic Church. But, GOD calls who the harlot to the nations in Ezekiel 23:30: "you have played the harlot with the nations and have polluted yourself with their idols". GOD and the prophets repeatedly called the old covenant Jews the harlot for committing adultery and idolatry in GOD'S eyes.
      13. Protestants accuse the Catholic Church as "man made" or "pagan". But, what does clear history and the Bible (Matthew 16:19) say???
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
      The irony and contradiction here is each and every single Protestant denomination (35,000 and growing divisions) is truly "man made" all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. For instance, Protestant history can easily be revealed like the Seventh Day Adventist denomination was established by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI in 1863AD.
      14. Catholics persecuted and killed millions??? What is the TRUTH???
      www.themichigancatholic.org/2016/11/inquisition-50-68-million-killed-church/
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/11703a.htm
      Protestants even persecuted and killed Catholic women, and one simply for harboring Catholic priests !!!
      www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Margaret-Clitherow
      So yes, there are many contradictions and outright lies in "man made" Protestantism.

      It says in Romans 3:23 New King James Version (NKJV)
      23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
      So how is it a man can become pope (Basically Christ or God Himself) and have authority over other men's salvation?
      Daniel 7:25 New King James Version (NKJV)
      25 "He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,

      And shall intend to change times and law.
      Then the saints shall be given into his hand
      For a time and times and half a time."
      I do not support any church that claims to be the truth, cause none have the truth except God, but I can say for certain that The Roman Catholic Church is the greatest and richest church in the world with a great multitude of faithful followers,
      but is the most wicked.
      Do not forget, even though Jesus Christ had to die for our salvation, The Catholic Church and The Jewish People (Who claim to be the chosen People/Church of God) were the ones who Murdered Him.
      And one more thing, The church are the people, I will admit your magnificent cathedrals are beautiful and a testament to how great God is as we are made in His image, but they are only buildings and buildings cannot save us.
      I bow to no man, or religion, or church, or government, only God.
      He and His word do not change, unless man changes it to benefit himself, and The Roman Catholic Church and many others are guilty of this. It is an undeniable fact that is written in The Bible and throughout history, To deny it is go against God and humanity alike.
      Thanks and God Bless.

      How do all Catholics become His ONE BODY, ONE "VISIBLE" CHURCH, ONE TEMPLE OR ONE BRIDE???
      "Real Presence" or Holy Eucharist Defense
      1. "Pascal lamb"
      In Exodus 12:3-14 GOD "forever" liturgically commands the PASSOVER as a means of proper worship. In the Passover, GOD REQUIRED the "lamb" to be consumed for "Death to Passover" (Exodus 12:3-8). Then Jesus, the "Lamb of GOD" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19), transforms this "forever" GOD commanded PASSOVER Feast during the "Last Supper" (in every synoptic Gospel account) into the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). Further, in context of the PASSOVER (John 6:4) Jesus Christ's "Bread of LIFE" discourse He REQUIRES us to "abide" in His BODY and BLOOD for "Death to Passover" (John 6:54-58). ***Protestants, Jesus Christ states the consequences of not partaking of Him in John **6:53**.***
      Addititional John Chapter 6 Proof??? In John 6:60, everyone was disbelieving Jesus's "hard" teaching (John 6:54-58) about the Holy Eucharist. So, put yourself in Jesus's shoes how would you respond to people disbelieving you??? Wouldn't you want to provide some sort of "proof" or "evidence" you mean what you say??? How does Jesus Christ respond to His disbelievers in John 6:60 and what "proof" will He provide to them and you per John 6:62???
      2. "Heavenly Manna"
      GOD provided "Spiritual Food and Drink" (1 Corinthians 10:1-4) to His old covenant people, so wouldn't Jesus Christ provide something for His NEW COVENANT chosen people???
      Jesus Christ compares Himself to the old covenant "Heavenly Manna" in John 6:31-35. Jesus teaches how the "Heavenly Manna" that came down "daily" will now actually be Him (John 6:51-58).
      In the "Our Father" prayer Jesus Christ states "give us THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD" that actually refers to the NEW COVENANT MANNA or Jesus Christ Himself as the "BREAD OF LIFE" (John 6:35, 48, 51).
      Acts 2:46. The Catholic Church has been "breaking bread (of LIFE) daily" of the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) before the Book of Acts was even written in the mid 60's AD, all along since Jesus Christ's death in 33AD, and to this very day fulfilling Malachi 1:11 prophecy all across the world "daily"!!!
      3. "HOW HE WAS MADE KNOWN TO THEM in the Breaking Bread" (Luke 24:35)
      In the Luke 24:13-35 "Road to Emmaus" scriptures, there is a clear "structure" of worship being referrenced - being the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER or better known as the Catholic Mass.
      In Luke 24:27, there is an opening up of the old testament Sacred Scriptures (Readings). Then, a clear explanation of how Jesus Christ fulfilled all the old covenant prophecies and covenant promises (Homily). Then, we have a "participation in" (1 Corinthians 10:16-17) the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER "breaking of bread" where the "Lamb of GOD" Jesus Christ ultimately becomes "KNOWN" to us.
      Protestants, what does Jesus Christ say to you refusing to "break bread" and "become KNOWN" to Him in His ONE and ONLY "Kingdom of GOD" here on earth - being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH - per Luke 7:21-23??? Still saved???
      4. "Bread of the PRESENCE"
      Along with the Passover, GOD "forever" liturgically commands the "Bread of the PRESENCE" to be part of proper worship of Him in Leviticus 24:5-9.
      In the old Jewish Temple, the old "Heaven and Earth" of worship, a veil seperated two main worship rooms.
      In the outer room was the "Bread of the PRESENCE". A veil separated it from the inner room that was called the HOLY of HOLIES, where no one could enter but the High Priest once a year. This inner room the HOLY of HOLIES is where Jews believed God's "real presence" remained.
      So, when Jesus Christ died the veil was reported to have been "torn" (Matthew 27:51, Mark 15:38, Luke 23:45). Thus, liturgically speaking there no longer remains any barrier between GOD'S presence and the "Bread of the PRESENCE" (Matthew 28:20).
      So, if the veil was "torn" allowing GOD'S presence in the Holy of Holies to flow to the "BREAD of the PRESENCE" in the outer room of worship, then what does the Holy Eucharist or "Bread of the PRESENCE" truly become in the fulfilled NEW COVENANT FORM???
      5. "ONE BREAD ONE BODY"
      1 Corinthians 10:16-17. If the "many" become "ONE BODY" through "participation in" the ONE SACRIFICE of the "Lamb of GOD" Jesus Christ in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER, then how can the Holy Eucharist logically be a mere symbol as Protestants purport???
      Truly, we can ONLY become ONE BODY (1 Corinthians 10:16-17, Ephesians 5:29-32), ONE FLOCK (John 10:16), ONE TEMPLE (1 Corinthians 3:17), ONE CHURCH (Ephesians 4:4-6), ONE BRIDE (2 Corinthians 11:2) through the "ONE" Jesus Christ (John 6:54-58) the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19) in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19).
      6. "EAT AND DRINK JUDGMENT UPON OURSELVES"
      1 Corinthians 11:27-29. If "partaking unworthily" is "eating and drinking JUDGMENT upon ourselves", then once again how logically can the Holy Eucharist merely be a symbol as Protestants purport???
      7. Partaking of "Divinity" (John 6:55-56, 2 Peter 1:4, Catechism #460) is the only way to become a true Son or Daughter of GOD.
      In the Garden of Eden man was created in the "image" and "likeness" of GOD. Through Adam and Eve's disobedience it caused us to lose our "likeness" to GOD (original sin). For how can GOD's "likeness" and goodness ever mix with sin??? (John 3:6, Romans Chapter 5) Jesus Christ is the NEW ADAM OF OBEDIENCE.
      In God's beautiful salvation plan He takes a "do not partake" old Adam of disobedience and the removal of the "TREE OF LIFE" (Genesis 3:23), and completely transforms it into telling us to "partake" of the "TREE OF LIFE".
      Catholics actually receive His priest, prophet and King "divinity" in the Holy Eucharist, thereby obtaining our "likeness" back if we only partake "worthily" (1 Corinthians 11:27-29). We truly become "divine" Sons and Daughters of GOD by "uniting" with Jesus Christ the NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-21). As a result, we become a part of GOD'S NEW CREATION (2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15, Ephesians 1:10, Colossians 1:15-17, 20) here on earth.
      The "TREE OF LIFE" hangs above every Catholic Church altar.
      8. "Thanksgiving" or Jewish Todah
      In this Jewish Messianic prophecy feast the "lamb" sacrifice had to occur at the same time the "bread and wine" was consecrated. Just as the Jews believed they were "participating in" the original timeless and eternal first PASSOVER when celebrating their old covenant "forever" GOD commanded Passover (Exodus 12:14), so do we Catholics believe we are "participating in" the ONE SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ during the consecration of the bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16-17) in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER.
      The Greek "Eucharistia" or English meaning "Thanksgiving" Feast for what Jesus Christ has done for us is the source, summit, and ultimate high point of worship in the NEW COVENANT.
      9. "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" (Revelation 19:9).
      Every CATHOLIC during the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER "Mass" enters the aisle and approaches the "Bridegroom" Jesus Christ the "Lamb of God" who hangs above every single Catholic altar. We see the "Bridegroom" who emptied Himself out of love for us on the cross - for His ONE and ONLY "BRIDE" - the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.
      The "right and just" response of each and every Catholic is to give all of ourselves back to Him in the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" NEW COVENANT PASSOVER.
      Historical support per Early Church Father beliefs on the "Real Presence" Holy Eucharist:
      www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/father/a5.html

      We see throughout the course of history what is of GOD (ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH) versus what is of "man" or NOT OF GOD (35,000 and growing Protestant divisions all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther).
      Who absolutely loves division???
      Satan just laughs and laughs as Protestants continue to divide over the self contradictory false teaching "Bible Alone" found absolutely no where in the Bible. Satan becomes gleeful when a self righteous Protestant either ignorantly or purposely attacks the ONE and ONLY established Church of Jesus Christ being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.
      Who absolutely loves unity and died for it???

      Which ONE CHURCH that can "prove it" historically and Biblically???

      Don't mind "One True Faith". The Catholic Church is definitely NOT the church that was established by Jesus. They also teach you to confess your sins and receive forgiveness from a priest (btw a mortal erring person), when the Bible says we are seek forgiveness of sins from the Lord. Yes, the priests and Pope are all sinners too. How do we know? The Bible clearly states in Romans 3:23 " for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
      As a former Catholic, I can say that Catholic teaching and doctrines do not come from the Bible. The doctrines of their faith are grounded upon paganism and tradition of men. Also their is absolutely no scripture verse that tells us to pray to "St. Peter" or Mary. We are to pray to God through the name of Jesus.
      For one, they teach that the Pope is God, and they also teach that the dead go to either hell ,purgatory, or heaven after death. This is a lie, and this teaching of theirs stands in direct contrast to what the Bible teaches on the subject of death. Also, they love to bow down to graven images, and pray to the dead saints. We are to pray to Jesus instead.
      When seeking out a Church to worship and fellowship in, ask yourself this: Do they teach from the Bible and the Bible alone for all matters relating to doctrine, OR do they teach according to the traditions on men?
      One True Faith states one correct point though, and that is that Satan loves division. But he also loves disobedience to God's law too. The Catholic church likes obedience, so long as you are obedient to THEIR law and not the Law of God.
      I also notice that as a former Catholic, they never taught about the literal Second Coming of Jesus (Matthew 24:1-44) and our need to be spiritually ready. THEY SHOULD!
      Let's look at a few more points on doctine...
      Does God change? Then how can His law (written on stone tablets) change? What source authorized the Biblical Sabbath to be changed?
      What does the Bible say on this subject?
      Malachi 3:6 "For I am the Lord, I do not change."
      Psalms 89:34 "My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips."
      What about Jesus, does he change?
      Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
      What did the apostles say in regards to obeying God instead of man?
      Acts 5:29 "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men."
      So what authority admits to changing the Sabbath of God's 10 Commandments? There is no Bible verse(s) to support this question, so we will have to rely upon the actual non-Biblical source regarding the change.
      In Faith of Our Fathers, pg. 561, Cardinal John Gibbons states, "But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify."
      Cardinal Gibbons sure is honest about this issue, but does that make the change right? No. It is clear that Saturday (7th Day) is the true Sabbath.
      Let us examine yet another source on this issue:
      Our Sunday Visitor (February 5, 1950):
      "Practically everything Protestants regard as essential or important they have received from the Catholic Church... The Protestant mind does not seem to realize that in accepting the Bible and observing the Sunday, in keeping Christmas and Easter, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the Pope."
      It is ok to accept the Bible and the Bible alone, but Sunday or (the 1st Day of the week for those of you caught up on semantics) is not in the Bible, be it the Old or New Testament.
      How about these three (3) sources:
      Louis Gaston Segur, Plain Talk about the Protestantism of To-Day (London: Thomas Richardson and Son, 1874): 213:
      "Thus the observance of Sunday by the Protestants is a homage they pay, in spite of themselves, to the authority of the (Catholic) Church." Here they (Catholics) make fun of Protestants. Martin Luther had his 95 point theses, but why not break fully away from Papal Rome and their false Sabbath (Sunday) observance?
      Catholic American Sentinel (June 1893):
      "Sunday...It is a law of the Catholic Church alone…"
      Catholic Record (September 1, 1923):
      "The [catholic] Church is above the Bible, and this transference of the Sabbath observance is proof of that fact."
      Point on! If you observe Sunday, then you pay lip service to the authority of the Pope and Papal Rome. (See above: Acts 5:29 "We ought to obey God rather than man.")
      This one ought to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up and tingle, read the following:
      The Question Box,” The Catholic Universe Bulletin (August 14, 1942): 4:
      "The (Catholic) Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her Founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter, the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant." NOTE: Notice how they state "...right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by...Jesus Christ." They didn't say Jesus authorized the Sabbath change, only that the Catholic church is exercising a so-called right granted to them by Jesus.
      So in reading this passage from the Catholic Universe Bulletin from 1942, they clearly state why they [Catholics] observe the 1st day of the week or Sunday. But what rationale do so-called Protestants have for observing Sunday in place of the true Sabbath? None, unless they acknowledge the supremacy and authority of the Pope! And if this is the case, then Protestants might just as well become Catholics.
      Here is yet another source to ponder:
      John A. O'Brien, The Faith of Millions: the Credentials of the Catholic Religion Revised Edition (Our Sunday Visitor Publishing, 1974): 400-401:
      "But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn't it curious that non-Catholics, who claim to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistent; but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon and explicit text in the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away-like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair."
      Not only do the Catholics actually admit to changing the 7th Day Sabbath to Sunday, they claim to have the authority to do so. And yet they make fun of Protestants for observing the Catholic "sabbath".
      Keating, Karl (1988). Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" pg.38
      "It was the Catholic Church that decided Sunday should be the day of worship for Christians, in honor of the resurrection."
      The Pope "claims" to be God.
      Pope Leo XIII, Praeclara Gratulationis Publicae (The Reunion of Christendom), June 20, 1894: "We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty."
      The Bible foretold these false claims would take place:
      2 THESSALONIANS 2:4 "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."
      Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws…"
      There is a difference between the law of Moses, and the everlasting Law of God. Most Christians will at least agree that 9 Commandment are still valid, but how and when did the 4th Commandment become a "Jewish" thing that was done away with? How come as Christians, we refuse to accept the fact that all of the 10 Commandment are still valid? They are either ALL valid or invalid. (It is not algebra, where you isolate x to solve for y. You can't isolate the 4th Commandment either.) It can not be both. We can't pick and choose which ones we want to uphold, and which ones are too much of an inconvenience to our lifestyles to uphold.
      Some of you will say,"Oh but I will lose my $150k a year desk job" or " I won't get hired into that cozy $150k a year desk job if I decide to obey God and keep the Sabbath!" Take a stand; will you obey God, or are the treasures of life more important?
      This sounds like the dilemma of the rich young ruler mentioned in the book of Luke. ( We also can read about the Rich Young Ruler it in Matthew 19:18-24 and Mark 10:19-23).
      Let's read this passage in Luke 18:20-24 (look at verse 20-22)
      "
      20 "Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
      21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
      22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
      23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
      24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
      25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

      Two things are important to note about these few verses in Luke.
      1. Jesus clearly reinforces the validity of the 10 Commandments by quoting 5 Commandments directly. Does that mean only those 5 are valid? Someone will say, "Ah yes, but he didn't mention the Sabbath day!" Yes, but he didn't mention "Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain" or "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" either, now did he? Does that make it ok to do so?
      2. The love of riches and gain in this life by the Rich Young Ruler was more important than following Jesus. Note in verse 23 how the Young Ruler went away sad and not happy. Wealth won't bring happiness apparently. For even though the Young Ruler obeyed the 10 Commandments "...since his youth…", there was still something lacking in his life that only Jesus could see, which was the love of wealth. It is not wrong to be wealthy, but when it is all-consuming and surpasses your commitment to Jesus, then it becomes an obstacle or stumbling block to spiritual growth. Jesus sought to free the Young Ruler from this spiritual handicap.

      Let's look at a few more verses:
      Matt 13:22 "He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."

      Luke 6:46
      "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"


      So let us not be one who just "…heareth the word…" but let all of us be a doer of the word. James 1:22 "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

      John 13:17 "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."

      John 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love."

      We are saved by grace and faith in Jesus, but "...faith without works is dead…"

      We do not keep God's Law to be saved, we keep it because we are saved. Obedience is a fruit of our salvation. Remember: A bad tree can not produce good fruit, nor a good tree bad fruit.

      Matt 12:33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit."

      Would you mind asking him a question which he refuses to answer? When was the Day of Atonement in the New Testament? He claims that Jesus did not appear before His Father until the year 1844 when his prophet Ellen White showed up. What's more, she states that God never died on the cross but only a man. I'd like Doug to share a few verses on that one! It would change the face of the New Testament.

    • @tonyrusso1363
      @tonyrusso1363 9 лет назад

      orangeclawhammer777 This is a little long but there are many such quotations that could be cited for what Batchelor accepts and teaches in terms of what happened on October 22, 1844. I would certainly like to hear his answer on this one and many more.
      Out of the 28 Fundamental Doctrines of the SDA Church, belief #17 “One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and was manifested in the ministry of Ellen. G. White . As the Lord's messenger, her writings are a continuing and authoritative source of truth which provide for the church comfort, guidance,instruction, and correction. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. (Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 12:17; 19:10.)” A person who wants to join the Adventist church must accept Ellen White as a prophet. Batcelor has accepted her as a prophet to the “true” church. If you do not accept her office as prophet you are not considered a member in good and regular standing.
      The question is answered in part through accepting Ellen White as his prophet. What she writes he has accepted whole-heartedly. Therefore this is what he believes and teaches:
      Great Controversy pg 424 (Depending which edition you use.This is found in chapter 24)
      "Both the prophecy of Daniel 8:14, "Unto two thousand
      and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed," and the
      first angel's message, "Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of
      His judgment is come," pointed to Christ's ministration in the most holy
      place, to the investigative judgment, and not to the coming of Christ for the
      redemption of His people and the destruction of the wicked. The mistake had not
      been in the reckoning of the prophetic periods, but in the event to take place
      at the end of the 2300 days. Through this error the believers had suffered
      disappointment, yet all that was foretold by the prophecy, and all that they
      had any Scripture warrant to expect, had been accomplished. At the very time
      when they were lamenting the failure of their hopes, the event had taken place
      which was foretold by the message, and which must be fulfilled before the Lord
      could appear to give reward to His servants."
      "Christ had come, not to the earth, as they expected, but, as
      foreshadowed in the type, to the most holy place of the temple of God in
      heaven. He is represented by the prophet Daniel as coming at this time to the
      Ancient of Days: "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the
      Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came"--not to the earth,
      but--"to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him."
      Daniel 7:13.”
      Daniel 8:14 is given to prove that Jesus did not stand before His Father until October 22, 1844.So where was He if He didn’t go directly to the Father’s presence after His resurrection?
      “In the service of the earthly sanctuary, which, as we have
      seen, is a figure of the service in the heavenly, when the high priest on the
      Day of Atonement entered the most holy place, the ministration in the first
      apartment ceased. God commanded: "There shall be no man in the tabernacle
      of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place,
      until he comes out." Leviticus 16:17. So when Christ entered the holy of
      holies to perform the closing work of the atonement, He ceased His ministration
      in the first apartment. But when the ministration in the first apartment (pg429)
      ended, the ministration in the second apartment began. When in the typical
      service the high priest left the holy on the Day of Atonement, he went in
      before God to present the blood of the sin offering in behalf of all Israel who
      truly repented of their sins. So Christ had only completed one part of His work
      as our intercessor, to enter upon another portion of the work, and He still
      pleaded His blood before the Father in behalf of sinners.”
      He teaches what she wrote. Why don’t you call the conference office in Northern California and tell them you do not believe Doug Bachelor believes this way-they will call him up on the carpet and ask him to return his
      preaching credentials. And of course, he would not confess this to a general audience as we have here. Perhaps you should visit his church on Sabbath morning, or call him up and ask his position on this subject.

      Kael7777 Every Christian church says the same thing, "We speak right from the Bible." The differences is simply one of interpretation. This is why we study the Scriptures. I can select any number of Bible verses and start a whole new doctrine---but it would be a false one. Hermeneutics is the word used for the method of uncovering Biblical truth--or the correct interpretation of the Word. If you only string texts together without a proper search of Biblical words in their historical setting, then you will have what we have always had in the Christian religion, a legion of denominations. 2000 years have demonstrated that there are some slick talkers, taking words out of context, and will lead you down the wrong path. Many will go happily to the gates of destruction thinking "We've got the truth!" All major teachings of Doug Batchelor are of this sort. They can be refuted and shown to be incorrect. There is a strong motive for teaching error; can you guess what that is?

      God bestows upon all members of His
      church in every age spiritual gifts which each member is to employ in loving
      ministry
      for the common good of the church
      and of humanity. Given by the agency of the Holy Spirit, who apportions to each

      Protestant teachings are FULL OF CONTRADICTION.
      For example???
      1. Protestants preach an "invisible" and "Spiritual" Church, while they hypocritically reach deep down into gullible people's pockets for money in a very "visible" place. Why do Protestants preach an "invisible" or "Spiritual" Church??? To hide the fact and truth they have absolutely no history back to Jesus Christ or beyond a 1500'S "man" Martin Luther.
      2. Protestants teach a self contradictory false teaching "Bible Alone", which ironically is found absolutely no where in the Bible.
      3. Protestants say "everything has to be in the Bible to be believed". Where is that statement even in Sacred Scriptures??? Instead, what do Sacred Scriptures say??? John 21:25, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 or especially Acts 1:3. Which ONE CHURCH has these "40 days" of Jesus Christ's teachings that are not in the Bible per the Bible???
      4. Protestants say "ORAL TRADITION" is to be rejected. Why??? Because, not one "man made" Protestant denomination has history back to Jesus Christ, so they have to reject it - despite what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 clearly says.
      5. Protestants say the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH" is the Bible. 1 Timothy 3:15 clearly states "the Church" singular - meaning the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH - is the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH", who was the Church that ultimately put the Bible together in the first place.
      6. Protestants say "the Bible" is the final authority. As a result, it has led to 35,000 and growing "divisions" - as they each become their own "Pope" deciding what is correct or not. Conversely, we see Jesus Christ giving His final "authority" to resolve faith and moral disputes to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per Matthew 18:17.
      7. Protestants preach "Faith Alone". The Bible clearly rebukes this specific false teaching by stating in James 2:24 "NOT BY FAITH ALONE". In John 13:34, Jesus Christ commands us in the NEW COVENANT to "love", which clearly is an action or work that is needed (John 5:29, 15:12, 17, Romans 2:6, Philippians 2:12, Colossians 1:10, Acts 26:20, etc.) for salvation.
      8. Protestants say the Holy Eucharist is just "symbolism", which ironically is another word not found in the Bible just like "Bible Alone". However, Jesus Christ Himself (WHO CANNOT LIE) repeats over and over in the Bible "THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD" (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 6:51, 54-58) and is needed for salvation (John 6:54-55) or for "Death to Passover" in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19), is the true fulfilled "forever" GOD liturgically commanded "Bread of the PRESENCE" (Leviticus 24:5-9).
      9. Protestants say Matthew 23:9 "call no man father" is an indictment against the Catholic Church priests being called "Father", while they hypocritically call their own biological father's "father".
      In that Matthew 23:9 statement of Jesus Christ's, Protestants don't understand Jesus was using a hyperbole teaching emphasizing not to get caught up in honors or titles that can detract from proper worship due to our Heavenly "Father". Proof??? Judges 17:10, 18:19. What did GOD allow His old covenant priesthood to be called??? Philem 10 and especially 1 Corinthians 4:15. What did Catholic St. Paul consider himself in the New Covenant???
      10. Protestants say "no statues" or "pictures" as they do not understand we have moved from an old covenant "invisible" GOD to a New Covenant "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-23) whom "adopted" us into His Family (Galatians 4:4-7) through "water (Baptism) and Spirit(Laying of Hands)" (John 3:5).
      If GOD is now our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our King Brother, then who logically would be our Queen Mother??? John 19:27 and Revelation 12:1-6, 17. Per Revelation 12:17, whose children are we really??? Got any statues or pictures of your family???
      11. Protestants say "no man" can forgive sins. However, in the old covenant GOD clearly used ordained "men", the Leviticus Priesthood, to forgive sins (Leviticus 5:5-6, Numbers 5:5-9). In Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 what same "power" did Jesus Christ give to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or to the NEW COVENANT ordained "men" of GOD???
      12. Protestants say the Biblical "Harlot" is the Catholic Church. But, GOD calls who the harlot to the nations in Ezekiel 23:30: "you have played the harlot with the nations and have polluted yourself with their idols". GOD and the prophets repeatedly called the old covenant Jews the harlot for committing adultery and idolatry in GOD'S eyes.
      13. Protestants accuse the Catholic Church as "man made" or "pagan". But, what does clear history and the Bible (Matthew 16:19) say???
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
      The irony and contradiction here is each and every single Protestant denomination (35,000 and growing divisions) is truly "man made" all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. For instance, Protestant history can easily be revealed like the Seventh Day Adventist denomination was established by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI in 1863AD.
      14. Catholics persecuted and killed millions??? What is the TRUTH???
      www.themichigancatholic.org/2016/11/inquisition-50-68-million-killed-church/
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/11703a.htm
      Protestants even persecuted and killed Catholic women, and one simply for harboring Catholic priests !!!
      www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Margaret-Clitherow
      So yes, there are many contradictions and outright lies in "man made" Protestantism.

      In that Matthew 23:9 statement of Jesus Christ's, Protestants don't understand Jesus was using a hyperbole teaching emphasizing not to get caught up in honors or titles that can detract from proper worship due to our Heavenly "Father". Proof??? Judges 17:10, 18:19. What did GOD allow His old covenant priesthood to be called??? Philem 10 and especially 1 Corinthians 4:15. What did Catholic St. Paul consider himself in the New Covenant???
      10. Protestants say "no statues" or "pictures" as they do not understand we have moved from an old covenant "invisible" GOD to a New Covenant "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-23) whom "adopted" us into His Family (Galatians 4:4-7) through "water (Baptism) and Spirit(Laying of Hands)" (John 3:5).
      If GOD is now our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our King Brother, then who logically would be our Queen Mother??? John 19:27 and Revelation 12:1-6, 17. Per Revelation 12:17, whose children are we really??? Got any statues or pictures of your family???
      11. Protestants say "no man" can forgive sins. However, in the old covenant GOD clearly used ordained "men", the Leviticus Priesthood, to forgive sins (Leviticus 5:5-6, Numbers 5:5-9). In Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 what same "power" did Jesus Christ give to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or to the NEW COVENANT ordained "men" of GOD???
      12. Protestants say the Biblical "Harlot" is the Catholic Church. But, GOD calls who the harlot to the nations in Ezekiel 23:30: "you have played the harlot with the nations and have polluted yourself with their idols". GOD and the prophets repeatedly called the old covenant Jews the harlot for committing adultery and idolatry in GOD'S eyes.
      13. Protestants accuse the Catholic Church as "man made" or "pagan". But, what does clear history and the Bible (Matthew 16:19) say???
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
      The irony and contradiction here is each and every single Protestant denomination (35,000 and growing divisions) is truly "man made" all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. For instance, Protestant history can easily be revealed like the Seventh Day Adventist denomination was established by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI in 1863AD.
      14. Catholics persecuted and killed millions??? What is the TRUTH???
      www.themichigancatholic.org/2016/11/inquisition-50-68-million-killed-church/
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/11703a.htm
      Protestants even persecuted and killed Catholic women, and one simply for harboring Catholic priests !!!
      www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Margaret-Clitherow
      So yes, there are many contradictions and outright lies in "man made" Protestantism.

      Kensley Victor,
      SDA Protestant pastors don't want you to know this:
      1. The Seventh Day Adventist Protestant denomination was not even thought of by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI until 1863AD, so how in the world can there remotely be any claim back to Jesus Christ or outrageously "Genesis"??? The truth is the SDA Protestant denomination is just another "man made" division of 35,000 and growing divisions stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther.
      2. SDA's don't want you to understand the old covenant Jews never ever separated the 10 Commandments from all 613 Commandments:
      www.jewfaq.org/m/613.htm
      Per Jewish law and the Word of GOD
      Galatians 5:3-4 ***"I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace."***
      3. SDA don't want you to understand we get "born again" (John 3:5) through the NEW ADAM OF OBEDIENCE Jesus Christ (Romans 5:12-21, 6:3-13, 7:6, 8:2, 10:4, Galatians 2:19-20, 3:19-25, 4:19-31, 5:18) to live in the "Spirit of the Law" being the NEW COVENANT COMMANDMENT of "LOVE" (John 13:34, 15:12, 15:17, Romans 7:6, 8:2) or "Law of Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:21, Galatians 6:2) that fulfills ALL the old covenant laws (Romans 13:8, 10, Galatians 5:14) and we actually become part of the NEW CREATION (2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 8:13, Galatians 6:15).
      4. SDA'S don't want you to know about GOD'S promise to "end" the old Jewish covenant "Harlot Sabbath" per Hosea 2:11, Lamentations 2:6, 2:9, Luke 16:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Hebrews 8:13.
      And, what day all the Leviticus Chapter 23 "forever" feasts point to - being "the day after Sabbath" as the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) fulfills all these old covenant "shadow" feasts (Hebrews 10:1) .
      5. SDA'S don't want you to know about the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD or Levi covenant promise (Jeremiah 33:14-22, Malachi 2:4-7, 3:3) where GOD said He would take in "some" Gentile "priests" fulfilling Isaiah 66:18-21 prophecy - necessitating a "change" in the law to allow "some" Gentile priests:
      Hebrews 7:12 "For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well."
      6. SDA's don't want you to know the power of being baptized through the NEW ADAM (Romans 5:12-21) Jesus Christ and how we are no longer "under" old covenant worship laws (Romans 6:14-15, 7:6, 7:10-11, 8:2, 10:4, 1 Corinthians 9:20-21) and instead in a state of "GRACE" as long as we remain Holy.
      7. SDA's don't want you to know that you can actually "FALL FROM GRACE" when you deliberately sin (Hebrews 10:26-27, 29).
      How you will need the "power" the ONE MEDIATOR Jesus Christ gave to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per John 20:23 to be reconciled with GOD again - in order to be back in a state of "GRACE" through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
      8. SDA's want you to believe "breaking bread" is just another Jewish meal instead of the transformation of the old covenant "forever" GOD commanded passover (Exodus 12:14) into the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). How we must eat the "Lamb of GOD" for "death to truly Passover" (John 6:4, 54-58).
      1 Corinthians 10:16-17. All Catholics "participate in" the ONE SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ the "Lamb of God" and in consuming His ONE BODY (John 6:55) in the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" we truly "BECOME HIS ONE BODY" or "the Church".

      PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY AS IF YOUR ETERNAL “LIFE” DEPENDED ON IT
      In the Book of Hebrews Chapter 10, in context, the author was talking to “baptized” Christians (Hebrews 10:22) telling them to not be “neglecting to meet together” in “the Church” - being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH. Why “the Church”???
      ***Hebrews **10:26**-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.***
      What does Sacred Scriptures clearly say “IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY” or willfully break any of the commandments whether the old (10 Commandments) or NEW (Laws of LOVE or refusing to LOVE as Christ commands per John 13:34)??? If “THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT”, then how does one obtain reconciliation with GOD again???
      We must examine the old covenant to fully understand the NEW COVENANT. In Leviticus 5:5-6 and Numbers 5:5-9 we understand what an old covenant Jew had to do to receive GOD's forgiveness. Additionally, GOD in the Books of Leviticus and Numbers any time personal “sin” is even mentioned you will read over and over again “THUS THE PRIEST SHALL MAKE ATONEMENT FOR A MAN’S SINS AND IT WILL BE FORGIVEN” (Lev 4:20, 4:26, 4:31,4:35, 5:6, 5:10, 5:13, 5:16, 5:18, 6:7, 7:7, 12:8, 14:18, 14:19, 14:20, 14:29, 14:31, 15:15, 15:30, 16:32, 16:33, 19:22 Num. 6:11,15:25, and 15:28). In the old covenant, GOD clearly uses ordained “men”, the Leviticus Priesthood, to administer His forgiveness.
      Now, does GOD keep His WORD and covenant promises??? GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood per His covenant in Numbers 25:12-13 and Malachi 2:4-7 and has WORDS of “forever” in Exodus 29:7-9, 40:15, and 1 Chronicles 23:13. Then, GOD promises to have a perpetual priesthood in Jeremiah 33:14-22 NEW COVENANT PROPHECY. And, in context of “gathering the nations” in Isaiah 66:18 GOD states in Isaiah 66:21 “some of them also I will take for priests”, meaning no longer based on Levi tribal lineage in the NEW COVENANT. In John Chapter 13, we see Jesus Christ fulfilling His Father’s Levi Covenant promise and Malachi 3:3 prophecy, when He sits down in the upper room “purifying” the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD with a “washing”. This “washing” was a “forever” priestly liturgical GOD command in Exodus 30:21- in order to perform any altar work or sacrifice.
      What “same” power does the Son of GOD give to His ONE and ONLY established Church or “the Church” per Matthew 16:19, 18:18 and specifically explained to the NEW COVENANT PRIESTHOOD by Jesus in John 20:21-23???
      In 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 St. Paul describes what Jesus Christ did was He “GAVE US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION” and concluded “SO WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST”. An “ambassador” wields what kind of power as an “official representative” of Christ or more specifically explained in “the Church” as “persona Christi”???
      Please come or return to your real home and be “reconciled” to “the Church” HIS ONE BODY (Ephesians 4:4-6). What did Jesus Christ create, pray for in John 17:21-23 and die for??? If you really LOVE Jesus Christ, then you will respond to His prayer and join the “ONENESS” that He created. The “Lamb of GOD” wants to unite with you in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19) in His ONE and ONLY established Church, so we all can be “perfectly ONE”. May GOD richly bless you on your journey.

    They kicked off The Haunting Series after debuting A Haunting in Connecticut and A Haunting in Georgia.
    The Connecticut Family wasn't looking for what they experienced and neither The Georgia Family.
    By the way Pastor Doug what transpired in 1858; with Sister Ellen White?
    What came down with the early pioneers of The Adventist's Church at the Palmers house when Sister White was staying There?

      Protestant teachings are FULL OF CONTRADICTION.
      For example???
      1. Protestants preach an "invisible" and "Spiritual" Church, while they hypocritically reach deep down into gullible people's pockets for money in a very "visible" place. Why do Protestants preach an "invisible" or "Spiritual" Church??? To hide the fact and truth they have absolutely no history back to Jesus Christ or beyond a 1500'S "man" Martin Luther.
      2. Protestants teach a self contradictory false teaching "Bible Alone", which ironically is found absolutely no where in the Bible.
      3. Protestants say "everything has to be in the Bible to be believed". Where is that statement even in Sacred Scriptures??? Instead, what do Sacred Scriptures say??? John 21:25, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 or especially Acts 1:3. Which ONE CHURCH has these "40 days" of Jesus Christ's teachings that are not in the Bible per the Bible???
      4. Protestants say "ORAL TRADITION" is to be rejected. Why??? Because, not one "man made" Protestant denomination has history back to Jesus Christ, so they have to reject it - despite what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 clearly says.
      5. Protestants say the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH" is the Bible. 1 Timothy 3:15 clearly states "the Church" singular - meaning the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH - is the "pillar and bulwark of TRUTH", who was the Church that ultimately put the Bible together in the first place.
      6. Protestants say "the Bible" is the final authority. As a result, it has led to 35,000 and growing "divisions" - as they each become their own "Pope" deciding what is correct or not. Conversely, we see Jesus Christ giving His final "authority" to resolve faith and moral disputes to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per Matthew 18:17.
      7. Protestants preach "Faith Alone". The Bible clearly rebukes this specific false teaching by stating in James 2:24 "NOT BY FAITH ALONE". In John 13:34, Jesus Christ commands us in the NEW COVENANT to "love", which clearly is an action or work that is needed (John 5:29, 15:12, 17, Romans 2:6, Philippians 2:12, Colossians 1:10, Acts 26:20, etc.) for salvation.
      8. Protestants say the Holy Eucharist is just "symbolism", which ironically is another word not found in the Bible just like "Bible Alone". However, Jesus Christ Himself (WHO CANNOT LIE) repeats over and over in the Bible "THIS IS MY BODY....THIS IS MY BLOOD" (Matthew 26:26, Mark 14:22, Luke 22:19, John 6:51, 54-58) and is needed for salvation (John 6:54-55) or for "Death to Passover" in the NEW COVENANT PASSOVER (Luke 22:19). Jesus Christ, the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29, 1 Corinthians 5:7, 1 Peter 1:19), is the true fulfilled "forever" GOD liturgically commanded "Bread of the PRESENCE" (Leviticus 24:5-9).
      9. Protestants say Matthew 23:9 "call no man father" is an indictment against the Catholic Church priests being called "Father", while they hypocritically call their own biological father's "father".
      In that Matthew 23:9 statement of Jesus Christ's, Protestants don't understand Jesus was using a hyperbole teaching emphasizing not to get caught up in honors or titles that can detract from proper worship due to our Heavenly "Father". Proof??? Judges 17:10, 18:19. What did GOD allow His old covenant priesthood to be called??? Philem 10 and especially 1 Corinthians 4:15. What did Catholic St. Paul consider himself in the New Covenant???
      10. Protestants say "no statues" or "pictures" as they do not understand we have moved from an old covenant "invisible" GOD to a New Covenant "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-23) whom "adopted" us into His Family (Galatians 4:4-7) through "water (Baptism) and Spirit(Laying of Hands)" (John 3:5).
      If GOD is now our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our King Brother, then who logically would be our Queen Mother??? John 19:27 and Revelation 12:1-6, 17. Per Revelation 12:17, whose children are we really??? Got any statues or pictures of your family???
      11. Protestants say "no man" can forgive sins. However, in the old covenant GOD clearly used ordained "men", the Leviticus Priesthood, to forgive sins (Leviticus 5:5-6, Numbers 5:5-9). In Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 what same "power" did Jesus Christ give to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH or to the NEW COVENANT ordained "men" of GOD???
      12. Protestants say the Biblical "Harlot" is the Catholic Church. But, GOD calls who the harlot to the nations in Ezekiel 23:30: "you have played the harlot with the nations and have polluted yourself with their idols". GOD and the prophets repeatedly called the old covenant Jews the harlot for committing adultery and idolatry in GOD'S eyes.
      13. Protestants accuse the Catholic Church as "man made" or "pagan". But, what does clear history and the Bible (Matthew 16:19) say???
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
      The irony and contradiction here is each and every single Protestant denomination (35,000 and growing divisions) is truly "man made" all stemming from a 1500's "man" Martin Luther. For instance, Protestant history can easily be revealed like the Seventh Day Adventist denomination was established by a "man" in Battle Creek, MI in 1863AD.
      14. Catholics persecuted and killed millions??? What is the TRUTH???
      www.themichigancatholic.org/2016/11/inquisition-50-68-million-killed-church/
      www.newadvent.org/cathen/11703a.htm
      Protestants even persecuted and killed Catholic women, and one simply for harboring Catholic priests !!!
      www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Margaret-Clitherow
      So yes, there are many contradictions and outright lies in "man made" Protestantism.

      Now, in CONTEXT of what Baptism is (Romans 6:3-13) through the NEW ADAM Jesus Christ (Romans 5:12-21) what are the effects for a NEW COVENANT CHRISTIAN (Romans 6:14-15, 7:6, 8:2, 10:4 1 Corinthians 9:20-21, 2 Corinthians 3:3-11, 5:17, Galatians 3:19-25, 4:21-31, 5:14, 6:2, Hebrews 7:12, 18-19, 8:13)???
      Please list out FULLY Romans 7:6 and interpret for me in CONTEXT of what Baptism is.
      (Side note, do not remotely think you can "deliberately sin" as what does Hebrews 10:26-27, 29 say about that and what happens to that same freeing "sacrifice"??? What are we back under and "much worse" per Hebrews 10:29??? Additionally, we are under "GRACE" and the "Law of Christ" 1 Corinthians 9:21, Galatians 6:2 and a NEW COVENANT COMMANDMENT John 13:34 meaning sinning would be "unloving" anyway, right??? Romans 13:8, 10, Galatians 5:18. What does "Love" really do??? Now, if we violate old covenant laws "morally" or the NEW COVENANT COMMANDMENT by not "loving" as He commands, then you will need the "power" the ONE MEDIATOR Jesus Christ gave to His ONE and ONLY established Church being the ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH per Matthew 16:19, 18:18, and specifically explained in John 20:21-23 to be reconciled with GOD again.)

    The error is in the translation. The original greek texts didn't have punctuation or spaces between every word. What is says is in greek basically is,"TrulyIsayUntoYouTodayYouWillBeWithMeInParadise." Futhermore, Jesus did NOT ascend into heaven that day because he told the woman "Do not cling to me for I have not yet ascended to my Father." Also the thief told him "remember me when you come into your kingdom."

    There is nothing in the Bible that supports the idea that regular people can bring back those who are dead. God tells us in the Bible that "The dead know nothing, even in the very day that die their thoughts parish". Look up the word dead in your bible index. It will give you the texts concerning this subject. I understand that what your friend saw was real to her, but unfortunately it was not what she thought, it was the devil and his evil angels impersonating ones who have passed away.

This doctrine isn't supported by the Bible. If that was the case though the whole purpose of Jesus second coming to resurrect the dead saints and pronounce judgment is made redundant.

The bible translators just got the punctuation wrong because Jesus didn't go to the Father that day so the thief would not be with him in paradise that day.

    26 And whoever continues to live and believes in (has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall NEVER ACTUALLY DIE AT ALL. Do you believe this?

Also, you don’t have to be what you describe as a “devil worshiper “ for the devil to manifest himself to you. Satan is trying to steal the word of God spoken through Doug Batchelor out of your heart and replace it with his word. Eve believe the word of Satan over the word of God.

      That's the cruelty of Satan. He gives people false hopes. He is the father of lies, he can imitate even Christ.

    All I have to do to demonstrate the wind to others is throw a leaf in the air. Ghosts and angels and demons and such are manifestations of your brain. Much harder to show somebody else. Which is why nobody ever has.

    The Bible says it was Samuel. If the Bible meant it was a demon, It would have said it was a demon.
    No sir! You are incorrect. The prophets would not answer Saul because God had cut him off. Samuel did not come up to mind the witch. He was allowed to come forth to reprimand and prophecy to Saul. Samuel still had on his priestly robes, and was still a prophet. That was before the cross when Jesus opened paradise and took the saints home with him. The dead cannot be contacted by the devil, a medium, today. They may talk to the evil spirits that gave people their nature, but they are not talking to the dead. The way we know that it was the “real” Samuel ... because the Bible said he was. When the Bible means an evil spirit or demon ... It says an evil spirit or a demon.
    “Now, this witch of En-dor, she called up the spirit of Samuel. And Saul talked to Samuel. Now, you might wonder how that could be done. It cannot be done today. No, sir. Because, the blood of bulls and goats was only a waiting for the time of fulfillment. When a man died in them days… Preachers, back me up if you think It’s right. When a man died, he died under the atonement of an animal, and his soul went into Paradise. And there he stayed until that, to the-to the Day of Redemption. And his soul was in there.”

    “Now, what happened to that woman, she broke through into this dimension here, like the witch of Endor did. She called the spirit of Samuel. Now, the Bible, I know and you know, many people fuss about it, and say it was somebody impersonating Samuel. But the Bible said it was Samuel. And I believe it was Samuel, ’cause God said it was in His Bible.
    Now, Paul-Saul, he went to the prophet. The prophet didn’t see no vision for him. Then he asked the Lord for a dream. He wouldn’t give him no dream. Then he went and spoke to the Urim Thummim, and it wouldn’t flash for him. So he disguised himself and crawled up to the witch of Endor, and said, “Call me the spirit of Samuel.”
    And she called the spirit of Samuel. And when Samuel come up, the witch fell on her face and said, “I see gods rising up out of the earth.” Is that right? “I see gods coming up out of the earth.” And she was scared. Now, watch. There stood Samuel in his prophet robes. And he wasn’t only just standing there, but he knew Saul. Is that right? I might slip a little bit of my Calvinistic doctrine in here right now, but I guess I’d better hold it still. Ha.
    Somebody told me, said, “Saul was lost.” When a man’s truly borned of the Spirit of God and remains with God, he’s not lost. He can’t be lost. A grain of wheat can never produce nothing but a wheat. That’s right. That man backslid. That’s the truth, but he wasn’t lost.
    Looky here. I’ll prove it right here. Watch. The witch called the spirit of Samuel, and Samuel recognized Saul and said, “Why did you come to me, seeing you become a enemy of God?”
    Now, you Baptists ought to holler, “Amen,” for me in a minute. Now, why did he… “Why-why have you called me, seeing that you’re a enemy of God?”
    Now, watch. He said… Not only was-was Samuel stand there, but he was still a prophet. Amen. He was still a prophet, and he said, “Tomorrow, you’re going to fall in the battle, and your son will fall with you. And by this time tomorrow night, you’ll be with me.” Then if Saul was lost so was Samuel. That right? Huh.
    Saul never committed suicide. A Philistine killed him. Any of you Bible readers that reads it thoroughly know that. A Philistine killed him, and David killed the Philistine for it. All right. Notice, Saul was wounded; it’s true. But he… A Philistine killed him. And David killed him because he said, “You have taken the life of the anointed of God.” And Saul was a prophet himself.”
