I wish you good health, success, love, and happiness. i was homeless, did drugs go into prison, and where got to know God. Changed my life. Now have a home, a
Wife and a lovely year dauther (Tracy), and now l'm favoured, $130K every 4 weeks! I can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.... want to share this miraculous
testimony to help my brethren in this trying time's that the devil has flooded the world with inflation.
God is more than enough for us, and his
mercy is new every morning. Hallelujah🎉🎉❤️
Isaiah 45:3 speaks of a transference of
riches from the heathen to the righteous... will give you the treasures of darkness and the riches hidden in secret... I received this for my household in Jesus' name. Amen!
What a testimony! I'm glad you have
recovered your life❤️
Congratulations!! The scriptures clearly state there's going a transference of the riches of the heathen to the righteous.God keep blessings you
But how do you make so much in a month? mind sharing?
Keith you are a gift to the Catholic Church!!! I am a cradle Catholic revert and I have been listening to so much apologetics and Protestant converts are my absolute favorites! You are teaching us the faith so well! I want to be able to defend my Catholic faith with confidence and humility to others.
Cradle Catholic, too. Though I am, like you, learning all the time. Even at 72, you can learn. Be bold!
Some Protestants might argue that the Catholic position is terrifying, but their position is far more terrifying. The Reformed Protestants, and the evangelicals/Baptists who poach elements of their theology without accepting critical elements that enable the rest, argue that if you leave the faith you were never really in it. But we know from experience that many Godly seeming men and women do leave the faith, meaning you can never really know if you’re deluding yourself or not. You can have a strong emotional feeling, nothing more, but no knowledge. Catholics can have total peace because we know as long as we don’t commit mortal sin we are in a State of Grace. As long as we don’t intentionally commit a sin that is a grave matter with full intention and understanding, we are safe. If we do commit one, we can ask God for forgiveness and follow through by attending Confession as the Bible commands.
False, the only way you’ll fall away is if you’re not a true Christian, or you think you fell away but you truly didn’t either way you’re deceiving yourself.
@@swanson_8804 the trouble with that is it’a not what the Bible says, and no one in the Church even taught that for the first 1500 years of Christianity. So either the Holy Spirit failed us for 1500 years or you’re interpreting it wrong. Those are the two options.
@@swanson_8804 By denying all lesson from the Church which was formed by Lord Jesus himself with The Holy Spirit staying with, you will never be a true Christian. The true Christian is the one who unite other people, not fucking around with your own miserable human mind and judging all the works of The Holy Spirit.
@@fulgrimthephoenician1022 lmao you say I’m not a true Christian yet you just cussed in your sentence, so Christ like if you believe in Christ and follow him you’re a Christian, not if you put your faith in a man made church that committed terrible atrocities, the claims y’all be making are always reaching, “Peter was the first pope” historically James was the patriarch of Jerusalem where the church was technically founded😂, I don’t need your church to determine whether I’m a true Christian or not thanks.
@@swanson_8804by that logic we don’t have free will. If someone who can’t fall away if he chooses to do so. That’s illogical
I’m currently reading “The Devil’s Bagpipe: The true life of Martin Luther” translated by Fr. Robert Nixon. It is so very sad how many people are now on the road to perdition because of what they believe is Truth. History doesn’t lie my friends. Christ established ONE church, not 50,000. Great video Keith ❤️🔥🙏🏻🌹
I read that too. It was wild!
I want to read that. I saw him being interviewed.
Luther had much to answer for but at least he didn’t hold to or advocate OSAS. If he were alive today I think he would absolutely
excoriate these people.
Let’s be honest Luther had a penchant for decimating with pen and oratory those he disagreed with. I find it ironic that those who love to quote Luther do not realize that he would bury them were he alive today! That said, I’m not holding him up as a hero. Far from it. Bit of a tragic figure to be honest. I wonder if from his vantage point now where ever that is if he regrets his actions? We should pray for his soul.
@@patcandelora8496I read or heard somewhere but I can’t tell you where that he was affected negatively by what he did. Clearly towards the end he was overweight, probably a drunk and may have even may have ended his own life as Judas did. May God have mercy on his soul.
@@Spiritof76Catholic I guess he was called the wild boar for a reason.🤷🏻♂️
Mr. Nester, you are a true gem for Catholic Church! I wish you the peace and protect from The Lord, as always!!!
Keith, I think you hit this one out of the park. 20th century Protestantism with its assurance of salvation is doing a great disservice to many believers and lulling them into a sense of false salvation. It's quite easy to jump into the gospels and pick out a few, easy to digest verses, such as John 3:16 and then go through life thinking you're saved. Since your beliefs are validated by the pastor of your church, you just go through life getting this this concept reinforced and validated. It gets to a point where you are so sure that you are right and everyone else of dissenting opinion is wrong. Your mind closes off to the truth because easy salvation is a desirable drug. The assurance of salvation crowd finds it very easy to dismiss the bread of life discourse as merely symbolic. But if Paul teaches all scripture is good for teaching, that means ALL scripture. If we want to truly study salvation, we have to study the entire Bible and avoid picking and choosing proof texts. God bless, brother.
The sad thing is they ignore John 3:1-15.
Powerful, thank you. I totally agree, we are in a daily battle for our salvation ➕🙏
I love this and it's important for Catholics to reflect on this daily ....there but for God's grace are we saved and our cooperation is mandatory
🙏🏻 Amen 🙏🏻 not all People CAN handle GODS TRUTH! Thank you Keith, Happy Labor Day Weekend yall stay safe 🇺🇸
Ty Kieth u have given me restored my hope
James 5:19-20 is about Christians who lose their faith and their salvation. It happens. "My brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins."
Duuuude. That quote from Origen was literally written for the times we are in now, a direct refutation of the Calvinist position of perseverance of the saints, had no idea that existed so early in our history, amazing.
you should read Against Heresies by St Irenaeus written in 180 ad. Here's a quote from it:
It happens that their tradition (gnostics) respecting redemption is invisible and incomprehensible, as being the mother of things which are incomprehensible and invisible; and on this account, since it is fluctuating, it is impossible simply and all at once to make known its nature, for every one of them hands it down just as his inclination prompts. Thus there are as many schemes of redemption as there are teachers of these mystical opinions. And when we come to refute them, we shall show in its fitting place, that this class of men have been instigated by Satan to a denial of that baptism which is regeneration to God, and thus to a renunciation of the whole [Christian] faith. - St Irenaeus of Lyons
@@josh39684 Which book of Against Heresies is this quote from? I’ve read some but can’t remember
@@josh39684
So protestantism is basically the largest denomination of gnosticism
I agree! I have pointed out that the Calvinist/Reformed position of OSAS/Election was brought in from gnostic ideas. Now, I have a quote to back it up that this was a heresy that the Church already dealt with.
KEITH NESTER, thank you for this vedeo i wish a lot of Pastors from different Religion can watch this this is very impormative ,,, thank you for defending our Catholic Faith coz I believe 0ne hundred percent that the CATHOLIC CHURCH FOUNDED AND ESTABLISHED BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF Through His Apostles ....... AMEN AND AMEN ! ❤❤❤❤❤
@@carolmonroe6489that’s protestant heretical nonsense.
@@carolmonroe6489 sorry my dear friend, where is it in the bible that it is written 'Jesus took the car keys away from Peter for denying and abandoning him like catholics worship calling him Simon son of Jonas feed My sheep.
Mathew 12:35-36-37 - Jesus said "the good man out of his good treasure bring forth good and the evil man out of his evil treasure bring forth evil. I TELL YOU, ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, MEN WILL RENDER ACCOUNT FOR EVERY CARELESS WORD THEY UTTER, FOR BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE JUSTIFIED AND BY YOUR WORDS YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED".
Mathew 15:18-19 - Jesus said "but what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart and this defiles a man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander".
Mark 4:11-12 - Jesus said to His Apostles "to you has been given the secret of the Kingdom of God, BUT FOR THOSE OUTSIDE EVERYTHING IS IN PARABLES; SO THAT THEY MAY INDEED SEE BUT NOT PERCEIVE AND MAY INDEED HEAR BUT NOT UNDERSTAND, LEST THEY SHOULD TURN AGAIN AND BE FORGIVEN".
Luke 9:5 - Jesus said to His Apostles "and wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them".
Luke 9:25 - Jesus said "FOR WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES OR FORFEITS HIMSELF?".
Needed this video at this moment, thank you. I'll be going to confession as soon as possible.
When someone say faith alone will save them, whilst still living a wicked life believing there is zero consequence; I wonder if they are delusional, or if they are moved by a spirit of narcissism.
Aren't you ashamed to lie? Every wrong action has consequences that the flesh must bear. You are both stupid and cunning.
God bless you more brother?
Scripture is clear. Hebrews 6:4-6. The Greek word for falling away is “parapesontas” which is “apostasy.” According to the word of God, believers CAN fall away.
True, for those with ears for hearing.
"Calvin is reluctant to watch this video."
I'm very glad for this video coming through my feed this morning
So valuable to me to meditate on as a cradle Catholic. Thank you!
*This comment was obviously supposed to be with a different video 😅 but wow am I fired up over this one as well!!
Keith, when I go to mass, this is what I always hope my priest will do! Interpret and go deeper into the readings. But it rarely happens! I will now come here every week to hear the Word of God before going to mass and have a better understanding! Thank you for all you do for Christians!!
Many receive the free gift of salvation then, they see it is a life of discipline, sacrifice, long-suffering, good works, and so they put it down to look for another way. And more often than not, they do find another way, their own. This happens to christians and protestants alike.
It never ceases to amaze me how confident Protestants are on this subject. Jesus said we must do the will of the father, to love one another as yourself. Martin Luther taught that we can kill 1,000 people a day and not be separated from God. I put my trust in Jesus and the 2,000 year old teaching and wisdom of his one and only true Catholic Church. Not an incoherent, modern, man made interpretation born out of sin and anger.
Luther said that? So what when did you start listening to and following a man and not Jesus who we are to follow.??
@@brucewmclaughlin9072 Dude take a breath and read my comment slowly. I follow Jesus and not the satanic abominations of Luther.

@@brucewmclaughlin9072 Yes Luther said that. I’m Catholic. Of course I follow Jesus.
Great video. We don't need to be fearful of hell at all if we are Catholics. Loving God is sufficient to ensure that you cannot mortally sin.
Another great video Keith thank you!
Nice one Keith! The stand of the early church fathers did confirmed that OSAS is very dangerous.
Keith Let's enter Through the Narrow Gate .🙏✝️🕊
Here’s one of my fallbacks… Matthew 24:13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
Great content! When I was a Protestant, I always wondered why my Protestants friends were concerned with the “backsliders” that weren’t living the Christian life. By Protestant logic, these so called backsliders couldn’t lose their salvation, so why worry about them? As a Catholic now, I understand this logic is silly and is not biblical! Great content.
It’s works in reverse really. Meaning they’d never say someone who enters the church wasn’t saved but if they fall away from not living out the faith therefore they were never saved. As in they didn’t put the work in to live out faith. 🤦
@@catholicguy1073 agreed! Too many examples of people leaving the faith! Sad, but we will continue to pray! 🙏
Thanks Keith ❤
Finish the race and keep the faith. Our Lady of Kibeho pray for us
This was great. Every time I had a question during the video, like “ok, well what about this?” you would always answer it next. I love that!
Enjoyed the video! ❤❤❤
Truth! Thank you for breaking this out in a very understandable way. God in the New Covenant calls us to a higher practice of the Law. Not just following the rules but living them out in the Love of Christ. If we Love Him we will keep his commands and His commands call us to being the Living Embodiment of the Word made flesh. Lets us run the race, keep the faith in the light of the Mercy seat of God witch is the Cross. The peace of Christ be with you! EJ
I will never understand the though of, yeah Im good I dont have to try to be better JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL. I will work every day to be worthy of grace as best I can.
Went to a Protestant service with my family for the first time since becoming Catholic and boy do I love being Catholic! It wasn’t bad and had a good message but it wasn’t on the same level as the Mass.
Thanks again, Keith!
Augustine defined perseverance as gift by which one perseveres up to the end of their lives, if a person dies as a believer they had been given the gift, but if one dies as an unbeliever, even if he used to once believe, he did not have this gift given. Augustine believed that the gift can be received through prayer, but when one person has the gift, they can't lose it.
This applies at a personal level.
Good work Keith. Not only Biblical but found all over the early Church. Also interesting to note the heresies that came up.
Amen brother, great video
AC, internet, half the lights out for over three weeks. Today everything finally restored. 200thing to go through. It will be awhile before I will be totally with you all. I have kept up with my bible reading, prayers, & rosaries manually.
I think where people get confused is, salvation is not some legal contract, where if we hold up our end, God is obligated to uphold his side. This is a relationship with God. You are in relationship and valuing this relationship, or you lose it. Just like if you ignore your spouse, they may leave or thow you out. Be mindful of cultivating this loving relationship with God.
Thanks!
Thank you!
@@KeithNester please pray for me to grow in faith.
Thank you so much for this video! I've found that Calvinism causes existential fear of not being saved if you aren't following God to the letter.
(Matthew 7:13-14) Jesus says most people go down in hell
That's okay. If your relative will give the church enough money, they can get a "get out of hell free" ticket, right?
Or was that what the "church fathers" used to teach? But things have changed?
@@hardcoreveritas5648 fact check: indulgences are not bought there approved
@hardcoreveritas5648 having true faith means producing good fruit (works) and if one commits mortal sin then you confess your sins, confession doesn't cost any money. I'd rather take my chances with the catholic churches sacraments that have been around since Jesus walked the Earth and left us his church then follow a group who protested against the catholic church 1500 years later by some dude. It's like protestants drive around without car insurance. I encourage all non-catholics to just do some good research especially in the early church fathers, God bless 🙏✝️
Go ahead and bring back all the traditions...
Galatians 4:9-11
[9]But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Ugh… I love you for realz. New catholic. But can you use a translation with less “thee’s” and “thou’s”? It messes the flow, for some of us with learning disabilities and neurodivergence, to have to switch from a spiritual or discerning part of the brain to a language translation part. ❤❤ I mean it with the most love.
ONCE SOMEONE IS SAVED HE CAN'T LOSE IT !! SAVED PEOPLE ARE SEALED UNTO THE DAY OF THE REDEMPTION !!

Ephesians 4:30
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”......WE ARE NOT IN THE O.T NOR IN THE TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE
EPHESIANS 2:8-9...For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 NOT OF WORKS , lest any man should boast.
Amen also apostasy when you make your own ways the wide vs narrow way. If you choose life you live if you choose death you die. No one will have an excuse. Or being a lukewarm
God does not condemns the human soul in the first place. That isn't love my dear friend. That is childish stupidity. I appreciate the love Jesus had for his fellow people but any way you slice and dice it.........Christianity is a blood cult. A bloody human sacrifice is as barbaric and as pagan as it gets. Think about it for a while.
I have been wanting to comment but I've been holding back until I had time to ponder and I also wanted to first go to Mass this morning and receive the Eucharist (in a state of grace.) With that being said, let's not forget that of the 40 something signers of The Declaration of Independence, only one was Catholic. If God granted this great country to a group of Protestants, are we really ok so quickly condemning them? I'm a cradle Catholic from the great Catholic country of Poland. Go to mass every Sunday, go to confession monthly, and I'm raising 4 Catholic children. So I check all the Catholic boxes, but I'm not a theological scholar so knock me all you want. I do play bass guitar and drums at a couple of non denominational services and when I want to start questioning or doubting them, I start thinking about the founding of this Nation and that makes me think twice. As I pondered how to write this comment, I realized that every reading in Mass today actually supported my stance, especially the Gospel. Let's not be too quick to point out all the rules us Catholics follow and be rash to find the faults of our Protestant brothers and sisters. As we heard in Mass today, true religion is exemplified by those who truly care for the widows and orphans.
It seems you have intertwined the United States - Declaration of Independence signers with religions. I don’t think religions and politics mix well.
Losing it by mistake, no.
Walking away from it by choice, yes.
Of course, God knows the mental, emotional, spiritual conditions under which all choices are made. He is the ultimate judge.
"Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" That's pretty clear, work for you salvation it is not a sure thing. Jesus gave us the redemption for Free, salvation requires of your part
You quoted the verse correctly the first time, then changed it. "Work OUT your salvation.." Then you said "work FOR your salvation." Freudian slip? Working out isn't the same as working for. You work out something you already possess.
@@ContendingEarnestly Go ahead and do no works. Just rely on John 3:16. You'll be good. Don't be baptized. Don't live by the beatitudes. Don't live by the 10 commandments. Don't tend to the sick. Don't feed the hungry. Don't comfort those who are mourning. Just go ahead and believe and live how you want. You'll be fine.

HOW CAN WE LOOSE WHAT WE NEVER WORKED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE?
MY HOPE IS BUILT ON NOTHING LESS THAN JESUS BLOOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
For over 20 years I believed that I was “in”. Why? Because, I had come to believe that I needed a savior and accepted Jesus invitation and so I was saved. I was a sinner and there was nothing that I could do about it.
Sure I knew that I should do the right things, but God understood that I was a sinful man and so accepted me just as I am. And while a good number of my beliefs had changed and even my behaviors, there were other things that were fine or I was going to do because I did not have to concern myself with sanctification. One way or another God would sanctify me. Good thing I was no longer responsible to God’s law.
The question was this, was l really concerned about my sanctification? Did I respect the only place in the Bible that was not penned by man, the ten commandments?Especially, the two that Jesus pointed out beca use the others were summed up in them?Was I open to God’s grace?
The problem is that we accept what we have been taught by others who have come before us. The question is who are the people that taught what we now accept as truth and how far back before them can we trace the beliefs that have now become traditional understandings? In other words, how far back can we trace this tradition? Can we trace their beliefs back to the earliest days of the church? We must accept the full council of God and remember that He first started a church that He gave authority to. And through that church we obtained the canon of scripture. And when reading those scriptures we must read and accept it in its entirety.
The protestants, people from other denominations, the present pastors, have been often accusing the Catholics for their practices, such as the statue worship, for revering Mother Mary n other saints! They, even say that the Catholics will be in hell for doing what they are doing! They say that they're all the new born people n will inherit the kingdom of God. Whenever the Catholics commence some function or event, they start it so beautifully giving praise to Holy Trinity; they end any function with the prayer of the Glory be! Others have not a thorough method in glorifying God! Praise the Lord n Gospel reading n explanations alone, all the time! Anyhow, we're none to judge!
Furthermore, isn’t that why Paul in Philippians 2:12 said to work out your salvation with fear and trembling? Thank you Keith!
Good video, friend. The problem is that we have a Pope who does not seem to want to know about the consequences of sin.
"Building a house on sand" describes Protestants and Evangelicals because there are as many interpretations of scripture as there are heads. This lead to doctoral impurity, which is against scriptures found in Ephesians 4:11-14
Keith I am Protestant and have watched many of your videos. From some of the comments on this video I think many of your viewers (not all of them) believe all Protestants follow once saved always saved. Many of us don't believe that and or teach that, me being one of them. Although we don't agree on everything I sure like your passion. God bless!
You have the holy Catholic Church. You have 48,000 man made protestant CULTS. You don’t go by what you believe you go by what the two thousand year old holy Catholic Church says
Thank you for your charitable post! I hope there can be an increase in productive dialogue among ALL Christians.
@@davidcole333 That would be good. It's needed.
🕊️Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓
The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
📖"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
📖“Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
📖“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
📖“[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
📖“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
📖“We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
📖“It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
📖“The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
📖“After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
EXTRA⬇️
Historical fact that can be easily confirmed by any Christian historian is that the Holy Spirit who is God, who sees past, present and future chose the Catholic Church to compile the Bible, specifically the New Testament which all Christians base their entire religion from and yet reject God’s decision to have picked the Catholic Church.
🕊️Should Christians renounce religion❓ In order to properly understand this statement, we must dive deeper into scripture and allow our Father’s Holy Spirit to reveal his truth.
1. Did the Jewish community reject Jesus’ teachings❓
🕊️“When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong. But passing through the midst of them he went away.” Luke 4:28-30
2. Did the Jewish community reject Jesus’ as our Lord & Savior❓
🕊️”For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning him.” Acts 13:27
3. Did Jesus pick the Apostle Peter to build his church❓
🕊️“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18
4. Did Jesus’ request to the Apostle Peter to build his church lead the Apostle Paul to create a new religion amongst them❓
🕊️“Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16
5. Did the Apostles appoint elders (presbyters / priests) in every church❓
🕊️”And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they believed.” Acts 14:23
6. Were decisions within the Christian religion made by the Apostles in conjunction with the Elders (presbyters / priests)❓
🕊️“As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.” Acts 16:4-5
7. Did the Apostle Peter see himself equally with the elders (presbyters / priests)❓
🕊️”So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.” 1 Peter 5:1-4
8. Did Deacons, Elders (presbyters / priests) & Bishops exist within the Christian religion prior to Rome’s adoption of it in 313 A.D.❓
🕊️“And let them also be tested first; then if they prove themselves blameless let them serve as deacons.” 1 Timothy 3:10
🕊️“These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands upon them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.” Acts 6:6-7
🕊️“Now a bishop must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, dignified, hospitable, an apt teacher,” 1 Timothy 3:2
9. Does the Christian religion with its Deacons, Elders (presbyters / priests) & Bishops remove Jesus as the head of the church❓
🕊️”He is the head of the body, the Church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Colossians 1:18-20
10. Does the Christian religion recognize Jesus as having full authority over the church❓
🕊️”And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20
11. Did the Apostles ask us to stand firm in the traditions we’ve been taught which included deacons, priests and bishops being a part of the church❓
🕊️“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17
12. Did the Apostles ask us to stay away from people who are not in accord with the traditions that we’ve received which included deacons, priests and bishops within the church❓
🕊️“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you,” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-7
13. Did the Apostles approve of people passing down traditions which included deacons, priests and bishops being a part of the church ❓
🕊️Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you.” 1 Corinthians 11:1-2
14. Should we avoid people who hold the form of religion but deny the power of it❓
🕊️“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5
15. How is someone’s Christian religion demonstrated as vain❓
🕊️”If any one thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain.” James 1:26
16. Are we called to hold our Christian religion accountable❓
🕊️”Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him;” Luke 17:3
🕊️”Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if any one thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” Galatians 6:1-3
🕊️”As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without favor, doing nothing from partiality.” 1 Timothy 5:20-21
🕊️”For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the Church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Drive out the wicked person from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12-13
17. Does anyone within the Christian religion supersede our Father’s words❓
🕊️“And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:27-29
18. Are we called to follow the Christian religion blindly❓
🕊️”Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” He answered, “Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:12-14
19. How is the Christian religion considered pure and undefiled by our Father❓
🕊️”Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” James 1:27
20. Should we renounce irreligion❓
🕊️”For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men, training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world, awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,” Titus 2:11-13
I`ve always thought the teaching that you can`t lose your salvation no matter what sins you commit is preposterous. It denies God His authority to judge over us, it makes our prayers to Jesus for forgiveness superfluous, and really ridicules the Christian faith as a whole.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I would love this video so much more if it had some very soft Gregorian chant sacred music instead of hipster-modernist-Seattle-coffee shop-too loud-vibe. Bring the Word into hearts with soft sacred vibe!
Of course believers can fall away. If it was impossible, Satan wouldn't work as hard as he does at chasing after souls.
Religious faith is belief in the church, the teachings of the church, the canon law, the dogma.
Truth is belief in the Word of God.
@@carolmonroe6489 I mean religious organization.
@@carolmonroe6489 Systemic religious belief is of no avail unless it is born again. And systemic religious belief containing false gospel cannot be born again.
@@carolmonroe6489 English is not my native language. I also do not understand what you mean here when referring to Catholicism and Protestantism.
What do you mean by Catholic atheists?
What do you mean by Jesus Christ never existed?
I am not American, and I do not know what is happening to Christianity in the United States.
And I do not need to participate in carnal fighting and secondary arguments.
What about my parents. One believes in God and one doesn’t want God to be real and has been brainwashed into thinking that way. I pray for them but I still worry. :(
What about Philippians 1:6? “being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”
Philippians 1:6 KJV
1 John 2 - "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us." He goes on to give us a context about leaving the faith, not falling from grace. I've been taught by Catholic clergy that the actual Catholic theology on the topic is this - you cannot lose your salvation (when you fall, you fall onto the grace of Christ). But if you have not trusted Jesus, then walking away from the faith - out of disillusionment or being fooled or whatever - is like what is described in Hebrews. It is one who has tasted the gift, but not devoured. Denial of the faith is not the same as routine sinfulness, grave, mortal, or venial. It is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It's not loss of salvation, it is "they were not of us" in the first place. This is precisely what St. Paul is talking about in the Romans passage.
I have a question I've posed to the "once saved, always saved" crowd. The scriptures state that a man cannot be forgiven for a sin against the Holy Spirit. If someone becomes "born again" and, after being saved, commits a sin against the Holy Spirit, how can he still go to heaven? John 3:3 can be translated as born again or begotten from above. John followed the hearer's misunderstanding with a teaching from Jesus. An example would be the misunderstanding by the woman at the well. Jesus offered her water. He then explained to her that he was the living water. Nicodemus misunderstood Jesus and thought the Lord was saying he would literally have to exit the womb again. Jesus was teaching that to be saved you would need to be begotten from above: i.e. baptized. John 3:3 was used in many early church baptismal rituals. Why do they deny the teaching authority of the Church but tacitly accept the Church's authority to create and define the canon of scripture?
D'oh! And they never read Romans 11:22
there is no way. I find calvinist use romans 9 to justify their position a lot. and once I saw the origen quote you posted. I did a quick deep dive and found it was actually talking about the exact section in romans 9 me and my prot. friends discuss all the time!!!
Not even time spent on this topic. Thanks.
If we could gain our salvation by our actions, we would loose our salvation by our actions.
That is why it is by faith we have been saved, by grace,not of works.
Grace is unmerited favour.
We don’t earn heaven. God gifts it to us.
Keep FAITH in Christ to the end and ALL sins are paid for.
If all sins are paid for we’re do you get to go when you die?..
PAY ATTENTION!!! Catholics have always saved by God's GRACE through our FAITH. Set in stone. Tell your friends. Please!
@@HAL9000-su1mz praise god! So does someone need to be baptised to go to heaven?
@@masinaverde901 wouldn’t that mean we are earning our salvation by doing a good work? It wouldn’t be a free gift than.
It’s basically saying that christs sacrifice isn’t good enough for you.
How were people in the old testament saved?
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 envy,[e] drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
@@masinaverde901 we are saved by faith, then get baptised because of that faith.
We are not saved by baptism. Nicene creed is not biblical. Man made traditions.
Salvation has always been by faith. From old testament to New Testament. Baptism is just a declaration of that faith.
Keith I am in great need of help. My (earthly) mother is a Christian, but she ONLY believes in the 4 gospels. So all of the Old Testament and the rest of the New Testament is not something that she believes. I just find it very troubling and I said to her: “ Without the prophecies of the Old Testament, the people would not be able to see him as the Messiah.” Please help me. God bless 🙏
How much of the epistles are Paul writing to baptized Christians about sins to avoid? What's even the point if salvation is some 'one and done" transaction. It's insane to think that you cannot turn your back on God even after you've been 'saved'.
It produces a lazy, worthless faith. Or worse: PRIDE.
What about John 6:37 ?”All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
John 6:37 KJV The Father draws all Believers through Jesus Christ unto Himself!
🚨Even Martin Luther taught that you could lose your salvation⬇️
📖“Whoever does not accept my teaching may not be saved, for it is God’s teaching and not mine.” Martin Luther (The Great Reformer of the Protestant Reformation)
What happen to being “saved by grace through faith alone” which is preached within every Protestant Christian denomination today⁉️
Not only did Martin Luther deviate from the TRUE church of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ which is the CATHOLIC church, so did his followers deviate from his church❗️
The early Protestant church never taught that you are saved by faith alone nor once saved always saved❗️This proves how ignorant Protestants are in their own history❗️
🕊️The following is the truth many refuse to accept:
Jesus⬇️
🕊️”Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:34-46
The Apostles⬇️
🕊️“If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole batch; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree, do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you. You will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.” Romans 11:16-21
Was Jesus along with the Apostles lying❓Its a simple yes or no answer❗️
🕊️”Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from the Evil One.” Matthew 5:37
By OSAS’s own logic, the Bible itself and anything found within it is no longer necessary after you are “saved” and by default, it makes all of Jesus’ teachings obsolete❗️But that’s the devils main purpose… if OSAS is to be believed as truth, how do you justify using anything within the Bible after that if “nothing” can take away your salvation⁉️The devil is truly clever and those who believe this OSAS are ignorant of that simple truth❗️
Eternal life is not based on what you can do because our eternal security is a result of God keeping us not us maintaining our own salvation. If you met the Lord Jesus and I mean an actual expierence then the day you actually go to meet him because we all have an appointment with death, He cannot tell you those dreadful words, I never knew you, because God never lies. Knowing this you can be assured that your eternal security is in fact secure.
@carolmonroe6489 yes but I'm talking about an actual born again experience just between you and Jesus. That's how it was for me after about a month or so of searching and knocking, God opened my eyes and and I did accept Him and it was an experience I will never forget. And I am very grateful to this day that He forgave a sinner like me.
@carolmonroe6489 well pain and tribulations can come upon you if you are a follower of Christ because the world hates Jesus because He tells them that they are all sinners. But when I received the Holy Spirit I was alone at home at the time so I didn't go through any church. But afterwards I sure had a hunger to go to church and hear God's word.

@Antonio.R.O.C. that is %100 percent false, in fact once you are born again as Jesus says you need to be in order to enter God's kingdom in John chapter 3, you rely more on God and his Word in fact you start to hunger for it. That would be foolish to believe that once you are saved you no longer need the Lords guidance. We are to walk with the Lord on a daily basis and read his word everyday. Jesus paid the price for our sins of yesterday, today, and tomorrow that is what happened on the cross when Jesus said it is finished. Now this is not a free ticket to sin but you can be rest assured that your eternal security is in God's hands through Jesus Christ.
Kinda hate when folks create unneccssary drama
Hi I’ve only recently found my faith in the past year (I grew up atheist raised by atheist parents) and I’m trying to learn as much as I can about Catholicism, so I wanted to ask if a person commits a mortal sin before finding God, will that person go to hell or will having found his/her faith still save them? (granted that they do not commit a mortal sin again)
I completely agree with you. Unfortunately the Protestants twist the bible words to their own convenience and that’s NOT how Gods word works and therefore they are at risk of eternal destruction and damnation,so please wake ups and truly return home to the ONE and ONLY TRUE CHURCH ⛪️ funden in the person of PETER in Mathew 16,18.
So first scripture from Peter. Keith, what you are saying is knowledge of God is sufficient for salvation ?
2nd scripture from Paul, reread the first verse. "Because of unbelief". Noone with unbelief, will be spared.
Would you please add 1 Peter 1:4-5 in your next teaching on losing your salvation?
While you're at it, please include 1 Corinthians 1:8-9, 2Timothy1:12-14, Phil 1:6, and Jude 1, and 24-25.
Jesus said, "I give eternal life. If we could lose our salvation, it would have never been eternal. And I think we would both agree that Jesus is outside of time. So when He called it eternal, thats what he meant.
He also said, "I will lose none the Father has given me.
Heck of a try, though, Keith. God bless you, as well.
Not if you lose the church. DO OVER !
🕯💞💖✨️🙏
JM, and others, state that if you get saved and later fall back into sin, that you were never saved to begin with. How can that be?
That's why their version of christianity is so scary. You can never trust that you are saved under that theological system.
Romans 8:28 KJV "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.
29 For whom HE did foreknow, HE also did predestinate to be conformed to the IMAGE of HIS SON, that HE might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom HE did predestinate, them HE also called: and whom HE called, them HE also justified: and whom HE justified, them HE also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If GOD be for us, who can be against us?
33 KJV "Who shall lay anything to the charge of GOD's elect? It is GOD that justifies.
34 Who is he that condemns? It is CHRIST that died, yea rather, that is risen again, WHO is even at the right hand of GOD, WHO also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of CHRIST? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through HIM that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD."
Nothing can separate us from God except ourselves, and that happens when you commit a grievous sin and don't repent of it.
Romans is NOT your friend.
8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit[a] of life in Christ Jesus has set you[b] free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin,[c]👉👉 he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit👈👈.[d] 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit[e] set their minds on the things of the Spirit.[f] 6 👉👉To set the mind on the flesh is death👈👈, but to set the mind on the Spirit[g] is life and peace. 7👉👉👉 For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law-indeed it cannot, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.👈👈
9 But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit,[h] since the Spirit of God dwells in you. 👉👉Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 👈👈10 But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit[i] is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ[j] from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through[k] his Spirit that dwells in you.
12 So then, brothers and sisters,[l] 👉👉we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh- 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die👈👈; ❤❤but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. ❤❤14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba![m] Father!” 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness[n] with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ-if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
This is a whole bunch of warnings to Christians not to live in the flesh or you do not abide in Christ and you are not saved. What does it mean to live in the flesh?
Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 envy,[e] drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Do you stay away from all these? If not, you're not abiding in Christ and you're not saved.
You need to live in the Spirit to abide in Christ and be saved.
22 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
If you're not practicing these fruits of the Spirit, you're not saved.
@@tabandken8562 A true Christian saved by GOD's grace through the faith that GOD gives them will have the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit is not earning or deserving salvation but the result of being saved. It is the effect of the cause which is grace through faith which are of GOD alone.
Now read the Parable of the Sower in Matthew in which false confessors can also confess CHRIST and have (false/outward) fruit for a time maybe even their entire life but they are unsaved with no indwelling of the Holy Spirit and may I add that the one true and verifiable fruit of fruits is sound doctrine which the RCC has none of.
@@SidneyVenanciodelaTorre-yo4oz A true Christian would repent.
It's incredible how you think that you can defy GOD yourself. Read my other comment where the Bible says "no man" can pluck us out of the hand of CHRIST and HIS FATHER. Are you a man or are you greater than GOD? Read again what the HOLY SCRIPTURES say in my TWO comments. Then tell me which particular thing out of the mouth of CHRIST or out of the mouth of HIS Apostle Paul you do not believe and why you do not believe.
I would love to hear the mental contorsions protestants would have to make to explain Matthew 25 : 31-46.
"The Judgment of the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? 38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ 40 And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family you did it to me.’ 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Does Jesus teach that all who call him Lord are his disciples?
@@kilervgmmm Judas was also Jesus' disciple.
But Jesus also said in Matthew 7: 21-23,
Concerning Self-Deception
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
@@Nilunam
Shouldn't you then understand Mt 25 in the light of Mt7?
@@kilervgmmm we should read and understand the Bible holistically since it has no contradictions. Therefore to get the full message we must reconcile apparent 'contradictions' and realize that what one verse says is not all it has to say when viewed holistically.
@@Nilunam
The only percieved contradiction is the one you have because you are holding to "your doctrine". If Jesus says that not all who call him Lord are his disciples in Mt 7 and in Mt 25 he speaks about goats (and he speaks of his disciples as sheeps in the whole bible) the only way you can understand the goats as his disciples who lost salvation is to force that meaning on the text.
Protestants use "In faith alone. in grace alone, and in Christ alone "for their guaranteed salvation. And yet they ignore all the other Scripture that affirms salvation. No matter what Scripture you show them, no matter what you say to them, you cannot penetrate the invisible wall around them. There are a lot of non-Catholic Christians who have difficulty interpreting the Scripture which is a mixture of literal, prophetical, and poetical texts. Most see the Bible as only a literal. interpretation.
So Jesus Christ lied?
John 6:47 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Either Jesus Christ lied or you do not understand and are interpreting according to carnal morality.
Take your pick. But wait, the simplicity of the Gospel does not care about carnal feelings.
@@sidasida4299 okay, so let me ask you this? Have you plucked out your eye or cut off your hand yet? You cannot plaster John 3:16 all over the place and say case closed end of story! I'm going to guess you're perfectly fine with a literal translation until it's time to gouge out the eye or give a literal translation to the bread of life discourse. You're perfectly fine with saying eating flesh and drinking blood is symbolic, right? But you can't have it both ways. You're inconsistent and that's the point! Keith is in no way shape or form interpreting according to some kind of carnal morality that you pulled out of your brain because he said something that you believe goes against your proof text. Until you get out of the proof text mentality you will continue to struggle and question and believe every other Christian around you is wrong and deceived.
@@davidcole333 I can post John 3:16 or John 6:47 everywhere because the Gospel is good news.
If I have to cut off my hand to get into heaven, then the Gospel is bad news, because no bastard will get in except the One who came from heaven :)
Don't confuse the conditions of Salvation and Discipleship. Understand?
@@sidasida4299 See what i mean ? You cannot use one piece of Scripture and ignore all the other Scripture. What Jesus said is true. What other Scripture says is also true. Truth in the Scriptures is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression. You need the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to open your mind to read and interpret the Scriptures correctly
Soul is not from here, is what separates man from all other animal kingdoms. Jesus sets souls free not spirits for we are gifted with the Holy Spirit. Souls mission is to awaken, convert and transform within by the renewing of the mind, Jesus has made the way ready to go. The truth is what sets you free. Have you asked Lord Jesus for the truth? The asking opens the door to receiving and I agree, when you're going from A to B and like a plane, if the co-ordinates are off by one degree you'll miss the mark by miles. If in fact, you lack the truth, that is knowing because you have not asked, soul in you within death of this organic body, will simply be born again. We're in the last day, the third day called the 1000 year reign where the dead in Christ are the first to rise up with him. Soul is wisdom sleeping. She awakens through the Christ, who is the divine light of the Fathers light within you whom you received through Jesus Christ alone. You need to come closer to Jesus, Jesus is our salvation. Do not turn to the saints of men. Want / desire the truth or not, continue your own way, called the broadway and simply die a mortal mans death. M
Out of the mouth of CHRIST:
John 10:27 KJV "MY sheep hear MY voice, and I know them, and they follow ME:
28 And I give unto them "eternal life" and they shall "never perish" neither shall any man pluck them out of MY HAND.
29 MY FATHER, which gave them ME, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of MY FATHER's HAND.
30 I and MY FATHER are ONE."
Protestants don't listen to Jesus's voice. They ignore most of what He said and redefine what He meant when He said them.
Correct no one can pluck us out of His hand but we still have free will and we can jump out of His hand so to speak. And we do so when we sin grievously. 🙂
@@SidneyVenanciodelaTorre-yo4oz Yes, we have free will and it is not a good thing and that's why man is dead in his sins and lost and will perish. That is why GOD's free gift of salvation by HIS grace is needed along with the faith that HE gives.
Ephesians 2:4 KJV "But GOD, who is rich in mercy, for HIS great love wherewith HE loved us, 5 even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us (made us alive) together with CHRIST, by grace you are saved; 8 For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."
@@tabandken8562 Such as?
@@jacktracy8356 if we have free will then we can lose our salvation. Its not a one time affair.
If i could not, willingly loose my salvation, then i would not have free will, which we all have. Does not make sense, and is not a teaching in the Bible.
I think this is a great video but my protestant family is not going to care about the early church fathers or the CCC because they are solo scriptura.
🕊️The following is the truth many refuse to accept:
Jesus⬇️
🕊️”Then the King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:34-46
The Apostles⬇️
🕊️“If the dough offered as first fruits is holy, so is the whole batch; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree, do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you. You will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.” Romans 11:16-21
Was Jesus along with the Apostles lying❓Its a simple yes or no answer❗️
🕊️”Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from the Evil One.” Matthew 5:37
By OSAS’s own logic, the Bible itself and anything found within it is no longer necessary after you are “saved” and by default, it makes all of Jesus’ teachings obsolete❗️But that’s the devils main purpose… if OSAS is to be believed as truth, how do you justify using anything within the Bible after that if “nothing” can take away your salvation⁉️The devil is truly clever and those who believe this OSAS are ignorant of that simple truth❗️
🚨Even Martin Luther taught that you could lose your salvation⬇️
📖“Whoever does not accept my teaching may not be saved, for it is God’s teaching and not mine.” Martin Luther (The Great Reformer of the Protestant Reformation)
What happen to being “saved by grace through faith alone” which is preached within every Protestant Christian denomination today⁉️
Not only did Martin Luther deviate from the TRUE church of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ which is the CATHOLIC church, so did his followers deviate from his church❗️
The early Protestant church never taught that you are saved by faith alone nor once saved always saved❗️This proves how ignorant Protestants are in their own history❗️
REM
In Romans 11, Paul is talking about Israel being the branch that was broken off. Paul is instructing gentiles. Israel was broken off from the vine due to unbelief, and he was warning the gentiles that the same could happen to them. Paul is not talking about individual people but Israel and gentiles. But verse 29 lets us know that once God makes a decision, it's final.
29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
He’s writing to the Christians in Rome and warning them not to fall away, but also reminding them that God has not forgotten his promise to Israel. It absolutely can apply to individuals and their salvation
Do not conflate the call or the gifts with your response to them.
The question is not if you can or cannot lose your salvation. The questions should be when do you attain eternal life. Sinner's prayer? Baptism? Or faithful unto death? Rev 2:10b " be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." and Mat 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it."
U mentioned in an interview with The Codrial Catholic that u were Italian. Did I not hear correctly?
Romans 11:29-For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
PAY ATTENTION CALVINIST!!! For those who are predestined for heaven. NO ONE, not even Judas was predestined to hell.
Salvation from God is eternal. To those who really are saved, those who have heard that Christ died for the sins of the world, according to the scriptures, and that He rose again from the dead, according to the scriptures, and He was seen of Peter, then the twelve, then over five hundred brethern at once.
and if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved, for with the heart, man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
Paul warned about those who would preach a different jesus or a different gospel, which isn't another. Paul says let him be accursed.
means the work of salvation itself is eternal, its for people long after Jesus finished it 2000 years ago, but for the person itself its not eternal, the person can lose it if he cannot endure till the end, esp after he confess and be saved then come hamas terrorist threaten him to deny Jesus and stay alive or being killed, if he chooses his life and deny Jesus, he lost his salvation

That Protestant belief that “you were never saved in the first place” does not make sense.
Didn’t Jesus die for everyone? I guess except those who are sinners? Like all of us?
*That Protestant belief that “you were never saved in the first place” does not make sense.*
I guess the apostle John doesn't make sense then.
1John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
*Didn’t Jesus die for everyone?*
No, He didn't. He died for the elect.
Matt 24:31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
He died for those He ransomed.
Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Many, not all.
@@ContendingEarnestly John makes sense. This is why we have to remain in Christ. How do we do that? Obey him. But then we are sinners and we could still lose our salvation. It doesn’t mean that we weren’t saved in the first place. Thank you for proving my point.
@@ednaron1229 *That Protestant belief that “you were never saved in the first place” does not make sense.*
