Fellow Catholic here! Thank you for this unbiased explanation, I wasn't even able to tell whether you were Catholic or Protestant (or neither) until I scrolled through your videos. Keep it up!
A Protestant (Lutheran) could tell he is Catholic. It's obvious because he doesn't know much about Lutheranism, its people, beliefs, or organizational structure.
@@flash2tz And also that he represents the church splits as orthodox and protestants breaking away from the continuous line of the catholic church. And that he thinks that their teachings about good works make them build more hospitals. I have no idea if that´s actually the case, especially in proportion, but it was kind of transparent that he wanted to make the RCC seem better. I think the video was good, I learned a lot, but it was certainly not unbiased.
@@Vanessa1 that's funny he didnt mention Jesus being the ONLY way ...but he did mention Mary and saints being who Catholics turn to for intercession ...although the Bible says no false idols😳
The author failed to mentioned one of the key issues of the reformation. The pope’s infallibility vs. sola scriptura. Protestants, for the most part, tent to believe in the Bible alone as the only source of divine wisdom. Catholics believe in the infallibility of the pope and the bishops. That is a major irreconcilable difference between the two factions of Christianity.
I have friends both in the Catholic and also in the Protestant church. I am Protestant but very disappointed in their behavior and in claiming to be saved when they do NOT bear the fruits that God wants us to bear. I agree with Dominic who states that faith without works is DEAD. Even those who seem to be so spiritual and loving seem to have no heart for the poor nor for those who need help. Religion is not important but relationship with the Lord is most important, by that I mean knowing His word and doing what His spirit leads us to do. For example in the last judgment in the book of Matthew the people will be divided into two groups, the goats and the sheep. I have found that most Protestants believe they are saved by faith alone and do NOT need to care for the poor and needy. They will be in for a great shock when the Lord comes and tells them to depart and go into hell instead of heaven which they proclaim to go to naturally. I found no one to help me, no one to care when I was in need, actually secular friends showed more compassion than those who call themselves Christians.
I agree with you I am Ex-muslim converted to Christianity baptized in Coptic Orthodox church I shocked with Christians' morals just stole the name of Christ. They hurted, exploited and harmed me like Muslims while I was hiding when I fled my country. Then I found myself in Catholicism after experience. I know that of course Catholics are not perfect 100% but at least they are the best in their ethics, heart, faith and mind. Most of the time, the Orthodox Christians are so fanatical, heartless and narrow minded and Protestants are worse than them😟😦 the fruits of the faith is so important. God is about love not about religion.
@@sawsanelshafey3634 Must remember in the understanding of Protestant Christianity that one must be regenerated or die to their old self, born again by Christ which I feel you most likely were. You had an experience that changed you. I know Islam is not easy to break. The trouble is there are many who CALL themselves Christian because they believe in God and at least in word alone trust Jesus for their redemption in the end. But have never had the EXPERIENCE with Him. The one when He changes your heart. Here's the second problem. The ones who HAVE HAD IT often get lazy in our own little world and stop worrying about our neighbor. Western culture is the personification of this. We went from 50 years ago knowing everyone on the street, maybe even the community and coming together to help one another to a "mind your own business" attitude because our morality has slipped and we don't want to have our sins found out so we isolate ourselves. Thirdly, many probably sadly see you and are struck with fear. Fearing that you are maybe just pretending so that you can gain information to take back to an Imam who is looking to maybe attack. It's sad that folks are like that but Islam has been really, really good at terrorizing and once that hits you you become paralyzed with fear in a lot of ways. I praise Jesus for setting you free and making you a brother/sister (sorry, can't tell from your name. :)). I just ask for patience with us and know that God will provide.
I am agnostic and found this incredibly helpful. I was raised Protestant, and I’m writing a story about someone who is Catholic. I know they’re similar but I needed some extra research. Glad I found this. :)
A yeoman’s effort here. One thing . . . Jesus said “By this will all men know you are my disciples. By the love you have for one another.” Just sayin’. Another thing. Jesus said He was establishing a New Covenant. So where was the Old Covenant and were the people of that covenant perfect? Or did God tell them that even if they strayed from their end of the covenant that He would always remain faithful? So were the people of the New Covenant perfect? Not according to the New Testament. They bickered and couldn’t agree on rules for the fledgling Church. Seems that Jesus never gave them a book of rules. He had told the Jews to do what the Pharisees told them to do but not to do as the Pharisees did because they did evil. When He commissioned the apostles He told them “whoever hears you hears Me” so He gave them His power to teach. Jesus prayed that His followers would be one. Paul castigates the Corinthians for forming factions. So it seems that Christians are living in disobedience by forming factions. In the book of Acts when the apostles disagreed on some point they met together until they came to an agreement. They didn’t go off and start a different church. They made sure that doctrine was the same for all believers.
I agree, it is the devil that separates us. Myself, I go to Catholic Mass for communion where the Holy Spirit is present strongly in the communion. I also listen to some of the better Protestant Bible teachers. We are all Christians and are going to the same place through Jesus Christ. Let’s truly love our brothers and sisters.
Totally agree with you I'm not Catholic I'm church of England but I admit I am strongly drawn towards the Catholic Church and I am considering changing xxx
The Mass is an act of idolatry repugnant to the Holy Spirit. Bread & wine are not turned into Christ there, nor is He to be sacrificed again. He died once for all for our sins.
One of the things I have a problem with Catholicism is the corruption of the pope and also works are a byproduct of faith, the thief on the cross went to heaven but didn’t hav the works. He did with faith alone and Jesus had told him he will be in heaven with him soon. I might be non denominational but I’m still Protestant and believe the same believe as Catholics, I’ve just seen corruption from the “head” of the church and also I’m not gonna pray to anyone besides the one and only lord, no human or “Saint” can save me or forgive me beside God
Difference between Protestant beliefs and Catholic beliefs are miles apart! Works have nothing to do with one's Salvation as it is a Free Gift from God. We can do nothing to obtain Salvation. The Works comes in as a result of our Salvations. James is talking about doing works upon one’s Salvation and if there are no works then their Salvation and Faith is dead. If one is saved, the Holy Spirit comes into them and as a result, the Holy Spirit directs our good works of SPREADING the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST and praying continuously, helping especially the downhearted and poor with what is at our disposal! If you have not the Holy Spirit, you will not even think to help spread the wonders of Jesus, much less help anyone! The Catholic Church encourages the veneration of Mary and all their saints, at least one for each day of the year! They place Statutes and kneelers along the alters to allow the faithful to worship Mary and the Saints. No image shall you bow down to and worship!? The Only Mediator between man and God, is the Man-God, Jesus Christ! A lot of difference in the Catholic & Protestant’s beliefs. That belief comes from God’s Holy Word, written down in the Bible!
Great video. Thank you. I would like to add that there are a lot of Protestants who also believe that faith without works is dead. The difference is however that we say that it's not faith plus works but this actually means that you are still saved solely based on faith alone. Real faith, however, will produce works automatically because your heart will be transformed by the Holy Spirit and His fruits will show themselves in a change of your attitudes because of your faith. In the sense of "I can love because He first love me and I can forgive because He forgave me first". It might seem like a minor detail but for me it's makes a big difference because the works do not come from me in order to be saved, but they come from God through me because I am already saved.
@@michelleart3780 God knows best what the actions of them are. I don't think that you know all of them, so please don't judge. Just because they don't brag about their good deeds before people doesn't mean that they didn't do anything. Blessings!
I agree. The difference is no faith and work but faith and traditions. Catholics tend to forget Jesus while engaging in their traditions. I am catholic myself but always regard myself as a Christian and nothing else.
I am Catholic but I have the protestant empty cross. But the crucifix with Christ on it is a reminder to us what Christ suffered on the cross for us, and that he's our savior.
Amy P the crucifix is s graven image which is forbidden by exodus 20:4,”THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE,(dimensional depiction,statue) OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN,ON EARTH,OR IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH,THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM OR WORSHIP THEM” This was the original second commandment until it was changed by the catholic church ,so they could worship statues.open link for proof,it’s not a video. www.preparingforeternity.com/biblevscat.htm
Amy P the crucifix is an artist conception and does not capture the brutality of the crucifixion.do you know that they actually plucked HIS beard out ? ISAIAH 50:6,”I GAVE MY BACK TO THOSE WHO STRUCK ME AND MY CHEEK TO THOSE WHO PLUCKED OUT MY BEARD”
Amy P good thing you have that little man on the cross to remind you ,or you would never know that JESUS CHRIST suffered for you and that HE is our savior.
@Gemma Never said you were disrespectful. And I changed it to cynic because most of this thread was pretty respectful. I agree that name calling isn't good but cynic describes you accurately.
As a Catholic, I love all of you, Brothers and Sisters! Let's never forget, as we argue or disagree about "empires", the Good Lord is interested in all of us building His "Kingdom"! I love you! ,
CAK's DAD: You have no idea whatsoever of who or what I am and so for you too say you love us all is just stupid in the most patronizing manner there is. Get off your high horse and come down to reality.
Andrew, if you're a believer I do know that much about who you are. We're all in the same fold. I didn't mean to be patronizing but to encourage all believers in Jesus to love one another. Peace.
@@TheSean7564 : Jesus was a Jew practicing Buddhism/Hinduism and then he put his own spin on it. I am not a Christian though i born into that faith but I didnt not give my parents permission to baptize me and so i didnt need their permission to leave it.
@@paulariveraa3512 doesn't matter what religion someone is, everyone is united through Christ. Religion doesn't save you only Jesus does, there is nothing wrong with being Catholic.
@@vanessaaguilera7464 there's nothing wrong with been a catholic? Who told you that lie? They are sending people to hell, with a false universal salvation that is a universal damednation.
@@paulariveraa3512 No they're not, in order to be save you need faith and works. Faith without works is dead. James 2:17 like I said as a Christian you should be spreading not putting others down. Good day, bye 👋
@@vanessaaguilera7464 Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Faith is all that's required to be saved. For it is God's grace that we may be saved and not our own works. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. Works and bearing fruit are great of course, but they don't lead to salvation.
Finally, a non biased explanation of the differences. Really feel such videos are necessary. We may have differences but we should at least be informed and be respectful of one another's practices and beliefs. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻
It's impossible to talk about religion - about most things, actually - without bias. The fact tha you and I agree with his bias does not make him unbiaseed. The danger o considering religious opinions unbiased is it creates "the true opinion". Even a benign opinion, if considered to be the true one, can clash with other opinions. Muslims, for instance, consider Christians and Jews as sharing the same background and call for a special respect towards them (us) - and that can clash with the idea that Christians share the same backtround. The only truth us Christians should hold is "love your neighbor as you love thyself". (remember that neighbor is not your actual neighbor but all those next to you and in the 21st century that means around 8 billion people)
Hmmmmm..... Seems to be that's the kind of talk you heard when man was building the tower of Babel..... "We are all one, let's be inclusive" I guess we might be reading a different Bible.
@@justamanthatlikestogofishi6228 read James 2:14-26 we can see in the context that not all people with faith Good works. Good works and faith is important to be One. But you cannot say that when a person have faith will also have good works.
I think that Slim Hriat was getting at what you all were somewhat saying about needing faith and works combined, because if you try to "have" one but not the other you won't have either, I know I can have a stronger faith at times and have good works and glorify God with my All and All as He Makes possible through His Life and Sacrifice and as He is good. But it's somewhat like what 1st Corinthians 13 talks about with love and how true love is God's love as He is love as it/He says in the good Ole Word that's Living and Nourishment for our souls as He Intended and Intends good with and for and in us as we Need to be in Him our Father in Heaven together United the Church through His Precious and Almighty Son Jesus Christ, not waver or forfeit, I'm tired of wavering and just settling and "living" with the lies and bad silence and not being open as I should but instead settling for the bad and lies of the past mistakes and Satan whispering that we'll never be good enough as he always tries to until God will Destroy his tongue and silences him, as God Wants and does good as He is good and Loves us Unconditionally and Gave us the Gift of Life and Free Will so we wouldn't be robots and the Walk would be more and actually fully personal and worth it and possible as He Makes possible and through and with Him, we're "fearfully and wonderfully made" part of Psalms 139:11-16, He's Wanting and Making the Best, to have more faith and Stand Strong to and with Him in True and His Truth and Love and Life and Light, He is the Only Way Almighty and Everlasting, and I know that there is alot of differences out there, but I believe we can do Abounding things with God as He Intended Plans and Wants it and to and as He is Abounding and Wants the truth and good to be done, to not waver but Stand Firm to and with Him our Firm Foundation and Truth in Love, not an act or game we play or be lukewarm since that is a dishonor to God as we are Intended be His Children and Created in His Image for a good Purpose to Overcome through Him this corrupted world that He so Graciously is still somehow Making Beautiful and Wonderful, But this is Not Home truely, oh I can only Imagine what a Day that will be! I Hope to see you all and everyone in this group chatting thingy mabob Up There Rejoicing and at the Great Feast, to not fear but be Ready in His good Way, keep doing good and join me as God is Helping us all along together and Wanting the Best, I love you all, as God so Graciously has Given me and Calls for True Love, True Faith. Some other Scriptures that i was reading recently and also stuck out in my Bible as Words to Treasure were James 1:22 talking about having real faith and Living for God our All and All as He is our Example Truely, and then also 2nd Corinthians 7:1. Take care and prayers and love and action all around, Abounding good that is and to be done with and to and by and through Him. But I feel he was getting at if we have a real faith as he said then good works for and with and by and in God will follow and happen aswell and it will be true, i think the key word is "real", but also about that scripture i talked about earlier but never listed before i got on that long process and train of thought of mine that i often do, but to be United in love and truth and even the good differences and to bear with eachother as i read also in the Bible somewhere in the New Testament either Jesus or one of His followers/ the Disciples or Apostles said it through and by God, as He is with and For us Never against us; but also to have Compassion and act upon what God Wants. But that scripture about how God is love, it was in 1st John 4:7-12. There's so much as He is good, Living, Loving and Abounding, He is bringing us Home and making us Complete All in His Time and Way that's Best, just to be open and willing and make truely meaningful. With Love
The passage being referred to says… Faith without works is dead. It doesn’t say… Salvation without works is dead‼️ The works being referred to are works of the spirit, as in love your fellow man. They are not referring to Works of man-made rituals. If you truly have faith, the works will show, automatically, you won’t even be able to help it. If there are no works, and I mean works of the spirit, then there was no faith in the first place. So it all goes back to the truth... Faith alone in Jesus Christ is what saves you, and there are a multitude of passages to confirm that. It is not possible to truly believe in Jesus Christ, and the amazing gift he gave to us, and not want to please him. Most Catholics believe that the works are the most important thing, and that what the works don’t complete, purgatory will finish off. Very bad doctrine
He didn't go into that in any detail at all. But he did call it out when he said the Anglican church split from Catholics and later joined Protestantism.
@@paulruffins5012 no, it is as simple as King Henry wanting a divorce. If not for that, England would most likely still be largely Catholic today. England had no part in Martin Luther's reformation.
@@Raymond_Petit You are right. In fact Henry wrote books defending Catholicism and he received the title from the Pope "Defender of the Faith" . He would not have asked the Pope for a divorce or annulment if he agreed with Protestantism. It was only when refused he became protestant....
King Henry VIII wanted annulment (which means marriage never happened and children born within this union are bastards), so he can remarry. But there are conditions to be granted annulment: -consanguinity too strong -impossibility to consummate the marriage
Kc.114:14 There is baptism when there is a prophet messenger on earth, and the prophet messengers are the manifestation of God, that is why their books are the Word of God. The prophet messenger is God manifested on earth. Amen! There is the Father, Who is, God manifested above us, the son, who is, God manifested in the person of the prophet messenger among us and the Holy Spirit, God as a Spirit in us.[Ed: The congregation says, Amen]. Bear in mind that the Son of God and the son of man, it is like the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heavens. They are two faces of the same thing. For the elect, John 3:16 will always be alive from generation unto generation till He comes. In every generation, God has always sent on earth, a saviour by whom we are to be saved. When Noah was sent on earth, it was as the only son of God! When Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Amos… were sent on earth, each of them came in his time as the only-begotten son of God so that whoever believes in them has eternal Life. This is the exact truth! #PKPCHANNELTV
This is honestly one of the best explanations I’ve seen so far. Most of the other videos I’ve seen are biased against Catholics, saying what they are doing is wrong. I don’t think getting information from a biased source helps you no matter what side you are on, so thank you.
@@peacefullife5907 I am older and have had more time to study. I have taught R.E. with an Anglican and Roman Catholic. They do not read the same Bible . They do not preach the same gospel .The only thing they have in common is they believe in the trinity.

The biggest difference is the Catholic Church persecuted, tortured and killed christians that disagreed on matters of transubstantiation, praying to Mary, Purgatory etc... I mean they excommunicated Columbus for saying the world was round ... Though, they did by papal degree, reinstated him in 1992... very nice of them some 500 years later Though they did not apologize for their error... And this is the problem, no so much the doctrine, but how they behave about their doctrine... You know torturing, killing, burning at the stake people that did not adhere do their doctrine, is where I have a huge problem with the history of the Catholic Church... And they never have apologized this is a problem for the Catholic church, if they did, the Catholic Church would be admitting that they are wrong....and whenever they have ever done that?😳
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Matthew 7:6 You can't love Satan, he makes that an impossibility as he leads you to Hell.
66 books of the Bible. that's inspired by the Holy Spirit. All the gospels point out one message, that Jesus is the only way, truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except by Him. So we don't need any more or less, this Bible is perfect and enough to know God's will for us. for protestants Bible is the word of God. We read and study the word of God regularly and believe in Jesus as our lord and saviour. He alone is our mediator between man and God. We focus on our relationship with God. And btw we don't believe everything thing blindly what people say, including the priests and bishops - We refer to the Bible. Jesus is the head of the Church. We are taught to imitate Jesus. And be like Him in thoughts words and action. So we don't believe in praying to saints because we r all saints in the eyes of God as we r saved by grace through faith which is a gift from God the father.
@Ian there will never be heaven on earth by our efforts. / mans innate desire to sin will see to that. / why do you think we need redemption? / we can only be saved if we are lost. / our faith is a gift from God, so to thank him for that grace is not selfish. / works are a fruit of that grace and a response shared toward others. / no where does it say in scripture, either by the words of Christ himself, or in the didactic portions of the apostles, that we are to make heaven on earth. / we are to share the love of Christ, in its many manifestations with others.... and that is as close as we will ever come to heaven on earth, which is a long way off from eternity with the Holy, Eternal, Sovereign God.
@Ian where do i begin?? / what your describing, as well as the ethereal diatribe from pierre, is nothing more than humanism at its most common. / to think that we will become our own Christ...our own messiah is so self-based, why bother bringing God or heaven into the conversation? / most faiths are based on spiritual elements, evidentiary history and written affirmations. / that does not include poetic license in a quote that has no real substance. / the pipe dream of future human perfection is absolute nonsense as has been displayed so overwhelmingly in our own human history. / ethereal quotes and well intentioned philosophers have been around for thousands of years and what is offered has never come to fruition because man is incapable of perfection. / that's why, as traditional as it may sound, a redeemer is needed to bridge the gap, not from man to god, but from God to man. / the great "somewhere" that pierre so readily objectifies is truly more illusionary than anything the bible can be accused of. / as far as the bible...though it has been abused, misused, skewed in all manner, is actually a remarkably accurate and incredibly profound record of the human condition...and its remedy. /after years of study in most of the worlds faiths and religions, i have seen without doubt the validity of its wisdom and the honesty of its truths. / i am sticking with it and refraining from dependent hope on hopeless man. // thanks.
@Ian I take the parts of the Bible literally that are clearly meant to be ,others are not. Such as the symbolism of Revelation. .I am not at the early stages of development ..If you look at the last century apart from the sudden increase in knowledge ,which the Bible prophesied, how has man developed as a being .He is no more intelligent ,just as violent and left to his own way will soon destroy the planet. He has produced atomic power which he cannot control .The Japanese disaster is constantly pumping out radio active water which is killing the life of the Pacific.With dead fish being washed up on the American coast. There is no sign of anything positive in the future. .I think you are the one behaving like a child ,not facing the reality of man's destruction of the planet . The Bible warns of those who will destroy the earth .God spoke through PROPHETS AND OUTLINED THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. If you bothered to study it you would find the Empires predicted and several like Babylon , Persia ,and Greece named.Then there are numerous prophecies about Israel and the Middle East.Then of course the ones about Jesus birth ,life and death and how he will come back when the Jews are back in their land after being scattered all over the world .That was said hundreds of years before His birth.
@Ian what you fail to realize is that what you are saying has been said for thousands of years. /many philosophers have always embraced the "pursuit of the gnostic". / it is the common deception of the nonspiritual to frame their own imagination as the basis for their "spiritual awareness". / i wasted many years in such pursuits until reality made me realize that i was achieving nothing because i was drawing from nothing. / what you call mythic embryonics is in actuality returning to primary principles of reason and logic. / for example; to take the so-called "scientific" approach to our own existence has a plethora of opinions by men who are trying to circumvent the simple principle that "something cannot come from nothing" ( ex nihilo nihil fit)(out of nothing nothing comes), / this one point has been the path to almost endless pursuit by unarguably erudite people who waste an entire life ignoring the obvious. / one of the primary flaws in the mind of man is that "modern man is more intelligent that the previous generations".. / the truth is that we have more information but not more intelligence. / ultimately, i have come to realize that if i am truly pursuing truth then i have to seek the source that possesses all truth, who was before time and before the material and brought all things into being with power and purpose. / not the nonsensical notion that chance (which has no power) or energy that lacks purpose, brought things into existence. / i find it interesting that people who consider themselves as open-minded pursuers of truth, blatantly and militantly reject out of hand the most viable, logical and even verifiable evidence. / i know you fashion yourself as in the vanguard of modern reason and thought, but what you fail to realize is that you have no foundation from which to stand or ascend... other than self, and that, is an unstable a base to start from as any i can imagine. / what you think is ascending knowledge leading to the ultimate nirvana or utopia is actually a descent into the abyss of self pacification and self deception.

Hmm... At 0:55 in the video is where you've got your church history wrong. The Orthodox (Eastern) Christian Church was the original Christian Church from the time of Christ. *The Catholics split from the Orthodox Church* ; not the other way around. The Catholic religion is just more prevalent in the Western world, so to think they were first is is a common mistake and misunderstanding. The Catholics decided to create and hold fast to certain rules/traditions that the original Christian Church didn't agree with. For instance, the Catholics decided to make it mandatory (instead of optional) that priests not marry a wife. All Orthodox priests are allowed and encouraged to marry, as this is/was seen as pleasing and holy to do. They did *not* agree to this new, made-up tradition to force priests into celebacy, as they believed it would give sin a foothold.. (And they we're right!! ... The Catholic sex scandals were - and still are - rampant in the Catholic Church. In medieval times, it was Popes with mistresses. In current times, heartbreakingly, it's with Priests and children. Ugh.) There were several other things that had to do with the Catholic Church deciding their own traditions, (especially concerning finances and leadership practices...) that were not in line with the original Christian faith, as passed down from the original disciples. (For reference, study more about the Saint Barnabas and Saint Paul disagreement and agreeable split - Paul went West, Barnabas went East. Both were good, Christians and decipels of Christ). In the eyes of the original, Orthodox Church, the Catholics seemed to be doing away with what was originally passed down from the earliest Christians - which is why the *very first* Christian church and their traditions, is called "Orthodox". I encourage you and all who are interested, to do more research on the history of Christianity. The Western world isn't where Christianity originated, but where it evolved into a Church with the same principals of faith, but with different traditions.
Dragonfly sparrow. How about the fact that Henry the Eighth approached the Orthodox church so that his priests from the Church of England would receive religious training. As to whether the Roman catholic church predated the Orthodox Church. Was it not the Romans that crucified the Christians for their religious beliefs?
@@aesop8694 I think you may have mis-read my post? I was saying that the Orthodox Church pre-dates the Roman Catholics. It seems like we are in agreement, yes?
The early Christian Church had a pope, Pope Peter. The Eastern Orthodox rejected the pope and the papacy in 1054, so it is the Eastern Orthodox, not the Catholics, who are in schism. Unrepentant schismatics lose their souls. On the celibacy matter, the pope never interferred with the Eastern practice of married clergy. The Eastern Orthodox did not leave the Church over this, this was not an issue in the events of 1054.
Faith without works is dead,if you claim to be saved ,and you show no fruits of salvation,spread the gospel,feed the poor,love your brothers,then obviously you are just kidding yourself !
Jason Thompson i think what i was saying is works is proof of salvation we do not have to prove anything to GOD.it is for our own benefit,also if you think that you are saved but you do not bear fruit ,you’re deceiving yourself. The bible says.EPHESIANS 2:8+9,”FOR YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH AND NOT OF YOURSELF IT IS A GIFT OF GOD AND NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST”
Jason Thompson ROMANS 5:1,”THEREFORE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH,WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST” The only justification is in GOD’S eye not in men’s eyes. JESUS didn’t die for us to be justified in the eyes of men.
As a Protestant, on #3 you missed the mark on the doctrine of justification. Every protestant confession taught that true faith is followed by works. In fact, John Calvin was the first commentator to begin using 1 John as a series of tests of faith, to prove a professing Christians faith as genuine by his works. Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree we have a lot more in common than usually is thought! The difference of the doctrine of justification really lies in the intermediaries and sacramental merit. We wholeheartedly disagree that there is any saving merit except faith alone, we hold that our merit and righteousness is from our union with Christ alone, of which the Roman tradition is at variance with us on an individuals acquirement of that union in more ways than one. We especially distinctly hold that it is an entirely alien and foreign righteousness that we now possess by faith. Works being the evidence and fruit of faiths reality or existence. Especially of divergence in Roman tradition, is that works gain merit and establish a kind of righteousness on its own. Not enough space to expound on that. Just as a hard and fast example of these distinctions, we hold that 1 Peter 3:21 is symbolic and at the very least speaking of the baptism which Christ baptizes with, a baptism in the spirit that brings us into union with Christ. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:13 / Matt. 3:11 -- Otherwise, if Peter is speaking about water baptism, we have serious internal contradictions in the New Testament Apostles of which this isn't the space to expand on that either. Additionally we as protestants never left the Roman Church due to these other doctrines he mentioned, but it was primarily Sola Scriptura which bore the fruit of the doctrine of justification and this was truly the fulcrum of the early reformers issue with the Roman Church. They recognized that the appeal to scripture was not sufficient to establish the doctrine of justification they had discovered there, and these early reformers simply could not with a clear conscience confess and teach differently. Therefore, the eventual excommunication and split. And to meet this fullness of time, the recent advent of the printing press allowed the writings of Luther to spread throughout all of Europe. Thus, an exodus from within the church took place. Finally, the very name coined "Reformation" proves also that these early men who were split from the Roman church believed they were re-establishing what had been the true church from the days of the Apostles. I understand the disputes and controversies, yet the protestant in me demands that our true doctrinal positions aren't misrepresented. There would have never been a reformation had there not been excommunication of Luther, of whom this "30%-50%" of the Catholic Church found his statements convincing and faithful to the word of God. With his excommunication, followed the excommunication of all who believed his initial statements and explanations. And of those who didn't participate in Luther's excommunication, their were many influenced by Luther's writing to reform the church while remaining within the Roman Church--thus, the counter reformation became a positive turning point for the Roman Catholics.
Rejection passed through the ages... yeah rather then face reality they choose to reject it, many protestants still feel rejected because of the traditions.. I honestly see a middle ground here where the 2 can work together and help each other. I think Christians should be given sanctuary in a catholic church for confession and catholics can share wisdom at protestant churches, faith and works are both necessary but complacency is a human sin not a sin against God. Also many of the old guard reject the church in general because they were unfortunately misjudged and felt rejected. I know their's common ground here but sometimes their are stubbornness and we can't change people.
Yet St James .... God says, faith is made complete by works. Works of love. Or restated: without works of love, faith is incomplete. _You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works_ (Ja 2:22) One comes to an initial faith, a faith that says I believe. But to believe is to live a life of love, for God and neighbor. That faith is never, ever separated from our works of love. That's why James says faith is made complete by works. He's not talking about that that initial coming to say I believe, hes talking about that faith we have as we strive to live a life of holiness as Christ calls us to do. Faith is never alone from love.
@@vanessathieu6205 since I am quoting Saint James, brother of our Lord, directly, from the KJV for protestants in fact, then yes the word work was used by God.
@@vanessathieu6205 "Whom would you OBEY?'' Whom do YOU defer to Vanessa to interpret scripture? Is your authority your pastor or yourself? When scripture says _Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you_ (1 Pet 3;21) and the apostles taught their descendants the same, and the descendants, theirs, but your pastor professes a man-made doctrine only heard of in Christianity in the last 500 years, should one believe the bible, or your pastor? Who do YOU follow and obey? There is no teaching of the Church that contradicts scripture, only your fallible interpretation of it.
The only difference between the Catholic Church and the Protestant church, is their source of ultimate authority. The Catholics believe the Pope is their voice for God, and the Protestants believe the Bible is the preserved Word of God, which is not up to private interpretation. Everything is focused on this crux.
Thom, what he presented was evidence that the charismatic movement is still active rather the OP knows it or not. The movement is designed to lure the protestant back to the catholic church by pointing out how much we have in common and therefore should not separate from the catholic church... Jesuit trickery at it's finest

Rome under Theodosius made the pagans join the Roman church,by threatening to take their property.See the laws of Theodosius.

You really must study early church history. What you assert is simply not the understanding and teaching of the early church fathers or the last 20 centuries of continuous authentic Christian teaming. All of your questions have good, solid, biblical answers. There are many excellent resources online. Please stop fighting against the Church Christ founded and come home to the Catholic Church. catholic.com chnetwork.org/

Catholics are not Christians. They are pope-worshipping Catholics. The use of biblical terms have different definitions. They have deleted one of the commandments because it contradicts their idol worship. The Roman Catholic Church is a cult within a cult. The list of biblical differences could go on. Don’t be fooled by ecumenism.
Being born in 1995 in America, in the US far from the troubles of Ireland, I've only ever seen a friendly competition between Catholics and Protestants. It's always been looked at similar to opposing/rival sports teams, in my lifetime. Because of this, I've always enjoyed the light jabs shared between the two groups. Most Protestants don't believe Catholics are going to hell, and vice versa, so the other differences no longer matter as much.
Great objective explanation. One clarification, Protestants pray directly to God the Father through Jesus who is the High Priest who "sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession day and night", based on the scripture "there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for all".
Why do you think Catholics say the this every Sunday? Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen
@@merynco well said. The question then becomes what is baptism? The Greek word baptizo literally means to immerse, bury, plunge, or dip. Every example of baptism performed in the NT is done once one comes to believe that Jesus is the son of God as you have stated. In Romans 6 Paul says it is by being baptized that we participate in Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection. Sprinkling is not a burial, only immersion is and infants are not able to reason and thus believe. So sprinkling water on an infant is not baptism as performed in Scripture. Only the immersion or burial in water of someone who is old enough to believe and confess Jesus to be the son of God is able to be truly baptized and have their sins washed away (Acts 22:16).

0:12 _"they read the same Bible"_ 1) not same canon, since a Catholic Bible has "72 books, or 73 of you count Baruch separately from Jeremiah". 2) not same translation, since to Catholics King James and even more explicitly Evangelical ones are a nono, and to Protestants the Douay Rheims is often either unknown or suspect.
You are correct. The Book that I love most from the Original Bible is one of the 7 ones that were taken out by Luther when he mutilated it. It is the Book of Wisdom. When my father died, I selected a reading from this Book for his Funeral Mass and I read it while I cried. It is Wisdom 3:1-9 Wisdom 3: 1 - 9 1 But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. 2 In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction, 3 and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. 4 For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. 5 Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; 6 like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. 7 In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. 8 They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. 9 Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
Jesus asked Who do u say I am ? Matthew 16 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” The way you serve him Reveals what you think of him How u live with him every day It’s proof what u really think of him Who do u say he is ? Jesus said the sheep will hear my voice . Relationship !!!
There is no difference. Why? "Catholocism" does not exist, Biblically speaking, at the very least. At the very best, the correct wording is Protestantism vs. Vaticanism.
Marie Lentini greetings. That is true, but Our Blessed Lord in his infinite mercy and Love provided us with a shepherd and guide to lead we the masses to HIM the Pope. Matt 16:19 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The last sentence the most crucial. Peace.

The Pope has allowed them not as idols or any potential for such, but as with photos to bring to mind the love and merits of those saintly, holy and thus loved. Serving as aids to greater levels of prayer and holiness in the beholder, as one contemplates and MEDITATES on their heroic virtues. Peace.
I was about to say the same thing because according to history Catholics have the true bible before 1517 when they split up and Martin Luther took care of throwing away 6 to 7 books away from it because he didn't agree with it. Who's he to go against God's rules?

@@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica Actually Luther was not the only one who decided to take books out of the bible. , but it is always better to blame someone we all know than introduce more people. The Books taken out of the canon of scriptures were the ones that either were full of history or had conflicting doctrines with established scripture. Even the Jews do not hold with those same books as being scriptural. However they can still be used from an historical nature.
As a point of clarification, the protestants hold to the idea that prayer is in fact communication. That being the case praying to saints, people who have died, is communication with the dead. This is strictly prohibited in Deuteronomy in that it is in fact a seance. This is an occult practice and thus prohibited. I think that details matter in that they explain the reasons behind a particular practice or rejection of practice.
You imply at the end that Protestants don’t care about good works. As a Wyoming Episcopalian, I disagrree! We are duty-bound to do Good Works as followers of Christ.🙋🏼♀️🏔💞🌠
That is true Protestants don't believe in Good work.Martin Luther said that seeking God's grace comes before doing good works.But the Bible says in James that" a man with all faith but no works is a dead man"... Apostle Paul strictly apposed such Churches that preached the same things.....That's why u see Prostitution, gamble, porn, LGBT marriage is legal in Protestant dominated countries...!!!

@@wendymitchell8245 I am an evangelical Christian who feels no need to convert to Rome. But one problem evangelicals have to deal with is that many of us belong to churches that have short histories. A lot of us belong to churches that began in the 1830's or the 1870's on the American frontier. We went to small chapels or store front churches that were poorly maintained. It is a surprise to grow up in these churches and then read about men like Augustine or Saint Francis. Going to Europe and seeing the magnificent Cathedrals is challenging. Also the artwork in some of these European Cathedrals is impressive. I remain an evangelical Christian because I see how the gospel transform lives. The gospel of Christ makes a person a new person in Christ. He or she leaves their sin and goes on to become a child of God.
Protestant claim to do good works because it shows they are saved but do you have to do the good work? Can a protestant go to heaven with out doing any good works? And don't give me that crap about how you were never really saved to begin with. Catholics have to do good works. Protestants can if they want to but it doesn't affect their salvation.
Luther was the 1st priest who PROTESTed against Vatican ROT. He still pushed that greek babble book of lies though. Christianity = CASTRATO......Transfiguration of a Galli.
@Pinus Raisins when Protestants are praying for one another, they are paying to God only. They pray to God about every issue. It sounds like you're saying if they pray to God only, they can't be praying for other? Why?
@Pinus Raisins Oh! I see where your confusions is coming from. Yes Catholics can pray to God for themselves and for others. When we say we're praying for someone, we're not doing their prayers FOR them, we're holding them up in prayer. We're asking God to ie. give then strength, healing,patience...We're not mediating for them. We can't do that. 1 Tim 2:5 says, " There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus". We can't ask a dead person to pray for us. They're dead. Deuteronomy18:9-14 tells us not to consult the dead. Jesus loved His mother, but He made it plain she was not to be elevated above any believer. In Luke 11:28 As Jesus was saying these things, (talking about demons) a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." But Jesus replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." And again in Mark 3:31-35 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside they sent someone to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." " Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." They seemed to be under the impression that bc they were family that would give them 'an in' to see Jesus, but that didn't happen. There's no doubt Mary was blessed to be able to birth the only Son of God, but that's as far as her blessings go according to the Son that loved her dearly, she was no better than any believer. If that's Jesus's stance, then I'm in agreement with him. HE is our only focus, not his mother. She can not mediate for anyone. And certainly not while she's dead. The bible said Jesus is in heaven. Mary will rise one day just as the others who are saved according to 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command common with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. John 5:28-29 'Do not Marvel at this, for an hour is coming when ALL who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.' I don't know why Catholics say Mary is in heaven they have no scripture to back that. Jesus was raised from the dead. Nowhere does it says Mary was raised from the dead. She's in the grave as we all are when we die. Psalm 115:17 says, ' The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.' Jesus is coming to get those who have have asleep. ICor.15:23 says, ' But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.' I Cor.15:51-54 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality, Then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

Hebrews 1:8 the father is speaking and he calls Jesus God so if the father calls Jesus God then I say Jesus is God because the father has all authority
@Pinus Raisins this is where Catholics get confused because in the book of Ephesians it says that Jesus humbled himself before the holy Spirit put him in Mary's belly that means he gave up his divinity he didn't stop being God but he didn't have the the glory of God because Mary's body could not have taken it it would have killed heralso in Luke 1 46 and 47 Marianne says she rejoices in God her saviorif she was the mother of God she wouldn't need a savior but she was mother of Jesus the man and that's where Catholics get confused
Well if we take salvation seriously this is what we need to know. They are not both Christians. The moment you believe Jesus is really in the " Eucharist" then he is not the same Jesus of the bible, you are not of THE WAY. The moment You believe that Mary "assist" Jesus ( co-mediatrix) for salvation then you have a different Jesus than the bible, The moment you believe that the popes represent Jesus on earth you are crazy (read history). The moment you believe that Mary ascended or was born without sin ( she called Jesus MY SAVIOR) you belong to a cult. The moment yu kneel before images you are idolatrous.
Assuming there are people within the group that recognize that the Holy spirit is being quenched. Sadly, sometimes no one in a church group recognizes this so the group continues for years. Also, people need to understand the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Again, sadly, many do not. As an aside, I got quite the shock when I discovered the ugly carnal behavior of a woman who was a group leader in the "things of the Holy spirit". I had admired her as a spiritual leader, but when she attacked me with a very unkind treatment, that brought her down to size in my eyes. All Christians are capable of behaving in an unchristian way. Hopefully, she came to realize that her behaviour was sinful.
Michael Rualzakhuma Brother that is job of devil to split Plus Holy Spirit has plenty of room and yes he leaves that person who separates himself from God and comes to you, for example, but not to start new churches but to fix people He left in one Church we have, because Church as was Jesus is pure but we’re not we sin we are bad, not Church, Judas was bad not Jesus Apostles were bad not Jesus What do you think about this
@@wakeupcall8188 It depends on how you define split. Sometimes, there is no moving foward in a group of Christians. Some want to keep things the same week after week and allow no room for any changes that would be more helpful for some members. They can be very stubborn and unbending on things that are really not worth resisting, such as if you add new worship songs to the service that the youth enjoy singing. i haecv seen issues like this separate members of a church, yet, they still say hello in the grocery store or the doctor's office when they are about in their community. Simply because a group of Christians choose to meet in another location, such as a community hall, rather than the church building, that is not necessarily an evil thing. It's not ideal, but not something to fret about. it is better than having constant disagreements while attending the same service year in year out. that is why there are various denominations - different groups emphasize different teachings. No human group is infallible and has all the truth. we are on a journey of learning over time, at least we need to be learning every day about God and his teachings and His will.
Marilyn Crosbie Dear sister I see genuine and loving spirit in you and that God dwells there and you are capable to realise and see the truth so please, use that gift don’t quench that spirit - Bear with me, pray over it and use That Spirit, your faith, logic and reason, and tell me if I’m wrong -I’ll start from your last statement that no group is infallible and have all truth, -In short, sister, Apostles did and all those who follow Apostolic Tradition still have -Sister Jesus is that Truth and He delivered that truth to all of us TO RECEIVE HIM PROPER WAY, HIS WAY COMPLETELY, IN WHOLE, NOT TO PICK AND CHOOSE and started with Apostles - Apostles did, because they received Him and delivered that truth to their disciples and they did because they receive Him and delivered that to next generation of disciples All the way till today - But not everyone - Some didn’t - Some did a little bit - Some did in twisted way - What they all have in common is they have chosen what’s truth they take from Christ and what to believe about Jesus, and they can split or start something new like Arians for example, saying that Jesus is not Devine, not God the Son They have left sound doctrine, Apostles and Apostolic Tradition 1 John 2:19 KJV [19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out , that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. For similar reasons, many epistles existed and even Jesus’s letters to seven churches in revelation Their truth was not Apostolic Tradition was not Jesus’s truth, was not Jesus - If your saying is correct sister and they are not infallible then why we follow their doctrine, why we trust bible, how we know truth and what to follow - It’s not just for them and that time either because Jesus said Go Baptise All Nations In The Name Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit -All this I’ve explained is One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, Body of Christ, that Jesus established - That same Church put Bible together to separate that truth, that sound doctrine from heresies or that time - Church fathers disciples of Apostles continued same way in Baptism, Holy Mass Eucharist, faith, morals and delivering us that same way and all the way till today SO, FROM ALL THIS, SISTER, WE CAN NOT SEPARATE ourselves and start something new, because we separate ourselves from Christ and starting something of our own I hope you see that - Neither Jesus nor Holy Spirit would ever say that to someone to split His Church - I can go in detail but I’ll wait for your response Mine Is already too long - Church is pure clean in teachings and faith and morals - As I said before, we are not, so were ever we go, we “contaminate” that area with our sins, because we are sinners and if one leave His Church, that Jesus established, as a sinner, didn’t change it’s heart, what makes you think, that one will be better ( I mean fully better , to become Saints) in some groups with less truth, one in theory can, of course, if changes one’s heart, which again go back to us, as problem, ignorance of truth and spiritual sloth of Jesus and everything one had before or to do what’s one wants to do, not what one’s supposed to do So it’s not Church to blame not Jesus to blame but us If someone leaves, like in 1500, in reformation, any little tiny things becomes big problem because there is no final Authority and me as pastor, I’m an authority and you as member if you agree or not, or as long as you agree - So yesterday we split from pastor John - today me and you are together, - tomorrow I’m leaving you and starting new church - come on sister think about who was led by Holy Spirit in first place here, pastor John, me or you, or none, we all have done splitting and maybe is just our judgment of things, - so in this cases what is really true and how we know that what I thinks truth - In Catholic Church we know, because Apostles believed same way, worshiped same way and commands us to do same way and they haven’t done any splitting - I just wanna point to something - I’m not talking about name of denomination here because Catholic Church is not denomination - She’s Christ’s Bride, His Body, Devine Marriage, One True Church but even here that name, doesn’t save, so I’m not preaching name here but Faith doctrine worship and only Jesus saves, - I know that many Catholics just have that title, nothing more, but majority believe same as Apostles because they gave their hearts to Jesus - Jesus is with others as well, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE WITH HIM, IN JESUS - He went to get that one sheep that left the flock but for the reason, strong enough, that sheep is still outside, with Christ, but not in Christ, He’s watching He loves that sheep, He’s working oh her, so she can come back to His Flock, to His Church to Noah’s ark, because “flood” is coming and ark is created by God, through men He has chosen, inside of Ark is safe, but “stinks” sometimes, because of us, sinners, Sometimes, some “sinners”want to eats each other, but majority is calm and in Spirit of God in love and God is in control He promised that, Gates of Hell, “Flood”, won’t prevail and the way to salvation, to safety, to everlasting new life is narrow and rough but, He gave us an Ark, to protect us from that Flood on our way to salvation Come Home my dear sister and may God bless you on your journey Love and peace always

@the_BackBurner 0311 I get what you're trying to say, but here on earth ppl can never be good only better, and that happens when ppl become "born again" [John 3:3]. The Bible says: There is none righteous [good], no, not one. Romans 3:10. Only in heaven will people be "good" naturally.
Inquisitors during 1600 and Crusader would have something to say to you about their murders. They had faith, they kill people anyway, and they thought that they were right so maybe they did not even confess it. Who knows.. We only know that the true church is the Catholic church and that Mary is the Queen of Heaven
Thanks for the simple explanations, which I think are generally very good. However, I think that protestants also generally agree that "faith without works is dead" as after all that's what the Bible clearly teaches. Not sure why you don't make that point.
It is my belief that good work is the natural consequence of faith, not a requirement in order to get into Heaven. If getting into Heaven is your goal, then doing good works is just vanity. Our purpose on earth is to love the Lord and our fellow man.
@@helenmorton4155 Agree! No good work will achieve salvation. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away Isaiah 64:6
To Bryan Massa. I also believe in the New Testament above/before the Old Testament. "He that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." I think it's John 3:16, not sure. I can't quote scripture well.
You have made OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM, THAT IS SALVATION .Do you believe in believe in Baptist teaching . That is salvation follows belief and repentance, not baptismal regeneration .When were you born again .Was it by Christening, or through the work of the Holy Spirit in conviction.,faith and repentance. Have you been born again?

The Catholic practice that is theirs only, was Castrato in the Vatican. #NOT EVEN raised in this video.......so i have, and explained their significance. Mat 19;12(making eunechs)....1 corinth 14;34 (women MUSNT speak). because these 2 verses are what they use to defend and justify @CASTRATO. That is not an apology, nor defendable. In fact, it highlights the RCC is SEXIST, and even "Female-aphobic".....and the biblical reason they dont allow women priests. If they cant Talk, they cant SING in the choir, or PREACH from pulpit either. It also keeps "NO WOMEN ALLOWED" in Vatican.....where they may have witnessed this practice, or seen the deaths the operation causes....or should i say "Mutilation" causes.
Correction: Protestants believe there is only one intercessor between man and God and this according to scripture is Jesus Christ, not Mary or the saints as they were needing of forgiveness unlike Christ who is the Son of God. Protestants also believe in Faith without works is dead, that is not a Catholic thing but a bible thing. Catholics simply emphasis this and can do better with its centralized system to achieve great things through their singular strength as protestants are many independent churches after Martin Luther started the reformation for church corruption in particular in unbiblical doctrine. .
Correction: Catholics also believe Jesus is the only way to the Father. The difference is we understand that the Bible instructs us to pray for each other. Mary and the saints dont somehow bypass Jesus as you seem to think we believe. They go to him same as we do. Many protestants do in fact believe 'faith alone' and not with works is where they receive grace. Protestant denominations differ on this belief, many agreeing with Catholic teaching, and many dont. Martin Luther, for example, did not agree and in fact believed there was no such things as free will. Luther believed you were destined for heaven or hell and you had no choice in the matter. Catholics disagree with him and believe strongly in free will, which is why works are important. It seems you agree with this which is great! You're correct that there was church corruption in the time of Luther, just as there have been scandals before, since and likely always will since its run by humans. However you're wrong when you state that it affected doctrine. Catholic doctrine, although often misunderstood, has been flawlessly guided by the Holy Spirit. For example, there were a handful of popes who were terrible people in their personal lives, but never altered doctrine. You're right that protestants are many independent churches. The reason is because once they abandoned the church guided by the Spirit, suddenly doctrine was guided by men and has continued to fracture ever since, currently at more than 45,000 denominations and sub-denominations.
@@cincinnaticobra5477 All R.C.s state the same errors and are not allowed to think for themselves .We ask living people to pray for us ,you are told not to try to contact the dead ,that is what spiritualists do.you get mixed up with faith alone . Your works do not save you ,or why did Christ die . Works are the result of repentance and the new nature ,Faith without works is dead as they are the evidence of regeneration . No Christian I know has any connection to Luther they are not Lutherans . There was widespread corruption because they were not Christians an systematically tried to kill those who were ,burning many at the stake for disagreeing with their doctrine . This is the work of those against Christ not a true church . Doctrine was guided men in the Roman church ,and outside of it . The true church is not one denomination .. Leo the 1st was the first who claimed Peters authority and liked to be called Papa. The doctrine is nothing like the teaching of the Apostles as they changed the gospel from faith and repentance ,to baptismal regeneration Gal 1.says any change to the gospel makes it false .You are not saved by joining a church and being Christened. There are not 40,000 denominations ,I have read the book that came from it counts many cults that are not Christian and even spiritualism .R.C.s all repeat it without checking anything .
@@cincinnaticobra5477 Mary is still in the grave tell Christ comes back, and all the saints! they do not hear your prayers(your church now lets you read the bible so now that they let you see the scripture, read it) never take anybody's word when it comes to your own soul, get the facts so you can apply those facts to the welfare of your soul!
Probably the defining difference which was touched on is expressed in St. John: "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one gets to the father but through me." This has both an abstract and non-abstract reading, the latter meaning that to communicate with God one must go through Jesus who is the sole intermediary between a believer and God. This shuts down the concept of needing a priest or pastor to dial-up God for you -- just call on Jesus in prayer to do it and he will.
As a former Protestant pastor who entered the Catholic Church 20 year ago at age 55 (after much struggle) I've now fallen in love with Christ in the Eucharist. To echo St. Paul words, "...beholding Him we are transformed..." (reference?). Beholding Him and receiving Him at Mass has now transformed me as well. By His grace we are saved, through faith.
Hi! i I am a born protestant and after carefully reading the holy scriptures. My father always tells me the 5 solas for w/c the first one is sola scriptura w/c is "bible alone". Im anxious to ask my parents for they may curse me or something because i really do believe on my faith but with a lot of questions contradicting my fellowship church's doctrine. I ask them what do early christians do( the persecutions of early christians) before the bible was put to writ. how do we identify ourselves back then? My father said" there are traditions where the silently do to practice their faith in Jesus" and the i asked them what is that? They just don't tell it. I asked them why Mary is so special to catholics and then again i got no response. I feel them, maybe they really think im gonna convert to catholicism but in fact i just have a feeble mind. i have sleepless nights, analysing the Words of Our Lord. I really wanted to know more .I Got curious about Mary on especially the catholic faith. I got a lot of questions too , specifically on the intercessors. What really is the part of Mary and saints? Why does she have a special mentioning in the bible. I believe that Jesus is God and He is a real man too. Why did God put Him into Mary first? My mind is contradicting the more i want to learn about the truth. I feel anxious lately and having numerous sleepless night thinking about this. Is Mary the woman clothed with the sun and moon under her feet, and on Her Head crowned with 12 stars depicting on the Rev. 12:1-17? So i asked my father when the revelation comes w/c was prophecied and is going to happen, do we side with the woman? He was angry to me that time and i felt bad. I hope someone answers it. Thank you so much
All mu 16 uncles ans their wife are lukewarm christians.. Menaingthey dint know the bible . . like most protestants i met. No denominatiinnis oerfect except the bible my bible points at u r from babylonian satanic church. So not sure what bible u read
@@blackpinkistherevolution72 if you're 18+ i.e matured, it's lawfull to decide on your own way, Ina lawfull manners. So do search the truth through various ways. Go through history writings, elderly priests etc to confirm your thoughts, give yourself enough time...I'm sure God will reveal....
Matt, thank you so much for spending the time to create and share a video which respectfully highlights some key differences between those 2 faith systems while maintaining throughout that the peoples of those faiths are far more alike than not. At at time in this world when world leaders and politicians would have us believe there are more differences between our brothers and sisters than similarities, and at a time when an educational video such as yours can engender such nasty, petty comments, none of which I hope you have taken to heart, by those so keen to demonstrate their ‘knowledge’ of differences that divide us all, you are a light, and a beacon my friend. Keep creating, keep sharing, keep loving. Good luck!
I was born to a Catholic mother and a Protestant father, left both those churches and became a Baptist. Down the road I learned that I was reading the Bible all wrong and have become a Messianic Christian who learned to read the Bible through Hebrew eyes. We call Jesus by His Hebrew name, Yeshua.
Catholics believe the lay man is responsible to the church and church leadership, who are responsible to study and explain scripture that is too difficult for lay people to understand. Protestants believe the lay man is directly responsible to God and should study for him or her self.
There was hierarchy in the Jewish system and the Catholic system. But since the veil was torn top to bottom we have direct access to the Father through the Son. No need for a middle man and even the Holy Spirit is involved with prayer.
Hi, I find your presentation quite good, but would like to ad something or adjust a bit, I would like to adjust your numbering of differences since of point 2 follows point 3. I am going to use Lutherans as protestants since in many protestants belief they are the most catholic like, and also those I know most about. Ad diff point 1 Lutheran also world wide in the body and blood of Christ being more than just a symbol in the bread and vine. They believe after the word of initiation bread and wine becomes the body and blood of Christ but not as physically as Catholics because that would force Christ to attend the mass, and you can not do that. Confessio Augustana (the Lutheran "In what we belive". Ad diff point 3 Lutherans also believes that you are saved by faith alone, but your faith (if a true one) will force you to do good deeds hence giving credence to a living faith have work, but not as an issue for salvation but as a result of salvation. And here is the main issue between catholics and protestants. Since work is a result of salvation not a building block for salvation, work by any person can not be accrued in Lutheran belief. However a person being deemed a Saint by the Pope, his or hers work are of such a high value by his/her work is deemed sufficient for salvation and sometimes more than enough. This extra goes together with the work of Christ into the box of salvation (as it is of monetary value) for the pope and Catholic church to distribute to the rest of us not being of Saintly calibre. This belief was rejected in Confessio Augustana, and has not been retracted by Rome to this day. Ad diff point 2 Of this point 3 follows: since saint are deemed to be saved, they are with God (father, son & holy spirit) in heaven(s), and they can thus be asked to intervened for person praying to them. eg. "Dear St. Nicholas can you ask God to give me the nice bike for Christmas" in a childs prayer. In Lutheran belief not a singel person is just or can make him/her self just in the eyes of God. So all will be judged by God also St. Peter. So praying to another sinner wont do you any good. And Jesus also states anything asked in His name will be given, that is why in Lutheran view you have to pray to God through Jesus and not St. Nicholas since he is long dead and slumber until the day of resurrection in Lutheran view. So are Catholics not Christians in view of a Lutheran, no far from it. We are brothers and sisters in Christ, along with all protestants and orthodox Christians because we all believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of mankind. All dominions saying yes to the Credos of Athanasius, Apostolicum and Nicaeaum are Christian, we just might differ in opinion of how things works.
Torleiv Aarrestad ...”there is only one name under heaven by which we must be saved”...Acts 4:12. Catholics have added Mary to that as Catholics call her Mediatrix & Advocate. They call her the ark of the new covenant as well. This is not scriptural. Jesus doesn’t need any help in saving people! We are not to add to Scripture, yet Catholics have added countless doctrines contrary to Scripture. Catholics teach a false Jesus & Mary & are not our brothers & sisters in Christ. Pope Francis & his New World Order is leading Catholics straight to hell.
Faith without works is dead, but the reason for that is because faith produces works. Hebrews chapter 11 has some examples of faith producing works. I'm Southern Baptist, and that's what we believe. In fact, in the book of Galatians, it mentions "faith working through love." Furthermore, Galatians chapter 3 plainly says we receive the Spirit by faith and Galatians 5:22 talks about the Fruit of the Spirit.
Jesse Griffeth totally agree. Plus why would I ask someone else (priest) to pray for me when I have a high priest in the order of Melchesidec (Jesus Christ) to pray for me? I have spoken with many Catholics and many, if you ask them if they are Christian answer “no I’m catholic”. If you ask me that question I do not tell you what denomination or abomination that I hold. The answer will come forth “yes”
@@mystwolfe7791 I am a Christian. I mentioned Southern Baptist to specify which denomination. However, I agree that being a Christian is infinitely more important than what denomination someone identifies with.
Jesse Griffeth oh I know. I was just adding to the conversation. I made no judgement on you my friend. I could tell you are a fellow believer in Christ. God bless.
@Josh I'm not ignoring James and the worthless faith. I'm saying true faith produces works. Works are the fruit effect of true faith. When James refers to dead faith, it's referring to people claiming to have faith but no works to show it. It's speaking of fake faith. In fact, I one time read a footnote that says there's no dichotomy between faith and works. Also, I pray for other people regularly. I just believe that people should be able to pray directly to God and ask God Himself for forgiveness.
@@JesseGriffeth Then you must conclude that Catholic have great saving faith due to all the Good works that the Church and its members perform. The Catholic Church does not teach that works will save them. Justification is by Grace
12. Today, in this 21st century, nobody can be saved unless by me, prophet Kacou Philippe who is speaking to you. And John 3:16 today is: For God so loved the world, that he gave his beloved prophet, Prophet Kacou Philippe, that whosoever believes in him may not perish, but have eternal Life. The Lord Jesus Christ was a man like me speaking to you today and you cannot pretend that you would have believed in Jesus Christ when He was on earth if you don’t believe in me today. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
You are assuming that Christians believe everything their respective churches teach them. Many of us believe in thinking for ourselves, irrespective of our official religion (or political party, for that matter).
John E greetings. Is that what Christ wants though, a million or billion versions of Christianity? Politics doesn't come into it, that is purely of man. The Church is of God and he can make his will known through it. So many can't or WILL not accept the following because it doesn't comply with their vision or lack thereof: Matt 16 17-19 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” It is simply stated. Peace.
@@allanlindsay8369 So you are saying one version of Christianity has it all figured out, and the members of every other division will rot in hell? Are you further suggesting that one "correct" version is the home of the Spanish Inquisition and other proud history, not to mention today's pedophilia revelations? The JWs would tell you that theirs is the "One True Religion." I honestly do not believe that any person or any church has it all figured out, to the exclusion of everybody else. Furthermore, I do not believe that having multiple branches or sects constitutes a problem in any way. One hub, but many spokes, etc.
@@johne6081 greetings. I am saying nothing of myself, Our Blessed Lord, however, is. Did you read his precious words? If not here is some more: John 17 20-22 "I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them MAY BE ONE, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE . . . ." it is we Christians being as ONE, that the world will believe that God sent Christ. There should be NO denominations, only ONE, led by St. Peter thence the Papal lineage - whether we like it or not that is God's will, but of course humankind relishes division. We are divisive here, even family units themselves are and can be very divisive - all Division is sin! Peace.
It's not about Religion. It's about a Relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. On judgement day, God isn't going to ask us what denomination were we. He will say 1of 2 things to everyone. You have done well my good and faithful servant or Go away from me. I never knew you. Everyone will either go to Heaven or Hell. Heaven is everlasting life with Joy, Peace, LOVE. Hell is a million times more terrifying than your worst NIGHTMARE. Demons are waiting to torment souls forever. In the Bible, Nichodemus asked Jesus. How can I enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus told him. You must be Saved and Born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No man goes to the Father except through his son Jesus Christ. On judgement day, ALL knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus is Lord. Question is. Where is everyone going after they die? Heaven or Hell. We have a choice.

Catholic's often wear crucifixes while protestants don't. Why do Catholics? We preach "Christ Crucified" _23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles_ (1 Cor 1:23)
There are many more differences than what is in this video. I have a list of at least 40 different doctrinal differences between Catholics and protestants.
If you want all the differences outline then this will no longer fit in a 4 minute video presentation.As 500 years is not enough to settle the differences. Pastor Rick Warren love the phrase of St.Augustine "in similarities unity and in differences charity." Then we can live as one brother peacefully that was the Ecumenism was all about and it extends to other non-Christian faith as well as Abba Father wants Jesus to unite all His creature as One not by perfection of faith but perfection of LOVE., as the greatest of all this is LOVE.but remember its not Whitney Houston but Jesus Christ..just want to make you smile..kidding aside.We are all ONE in Christ Jesus because of the Merciful Love of God..John17:20-22
@Visto che your Christian faith is definitely way different from Muslim but what is the common ground? Christian and Muslims have One Creator so only One Father. And what is the desire of God the Father that Jesus thru His Founded Church must accomplish? Read John17:20-22
Sorry but..we do NOT read THE SAME Bible. Protestant Bibles are 7 books short. That's no irrelevant diffidence. Certainly not small enough to say...we read the same Bible.
Your number 3 is not correct. In my evangelical church we believe that one is save thru faid and then we still believe that faith without works is dead
In the Bible, Nichodemus asked Jesus. How can I enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus told him. You must be Saved and Born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No man goes to the Father except through his son Jesus Christ. On judgement day, ALL knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus is Lord.
@@robertota9341 while this is true, the rebirth is something that occurs between one human and God and it occurs in various ways. The important thing is that is occurs.
You’re very vague on Protestants, there is Protestants that do indeed ask the saints and the Holy Mother for intercession. The Protestants vary in all things that are deemed Catholic! Which is why Protestants have so many breaks offs including the evangelical who deny being protestants, which is what they really are,And or the protestants that consider themselves regular Christian’s, who bypass the fact, out of innocent ignorance, that the regular Christians are the Catholics!
Christ be with you Not so. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Tim 2:1-6) every body is called to intercede. God bless you
That's a nice thing to say but....how can you respect religions that call your lord and savior a lier? The Bible says that there is one God, Mormons and say there are thousands of gods. Jesus says the hell with fire and torment is a real place. Jehovah's Witnesses say there's no such thing as a burning hell. Jesus claims to be deity, the I am. Muslims say that he was mere man not deity, he did not die on a cross, and he was never Resurrected as he said he would be. Now the Roman Catholic Church says that there is one God but many ways to God. Jesus says there is only one way, through him. They all called Jesus a liar.
Did you know that the Catholics changed the 10 commandments? They erased the 2nd one out completely! “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.” Catholicism is a work based religion. Christianity is a faith based relationship with God. You can only confess and repent your sins to Jesus! Not a priest! The bible says that if you are NOT born again, you will die in your sins and you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Being born again does NOT mean baptised as a baby! To believe in Jesus means You got to repent (turn away from your sins) and put your trust in God ultimately believing He is the saviour and not your works! When you believe he is the saviour and trust in Him and have the Holy Spirit, this in turn produces Good works! Good works is the evidence that you have been saved through Jesus.
It's not about Religion. It's about a Relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. On judgement day, God isn't going to ask us what denomination were we. He will say 1 of 2 things. You have done well my good and faithful servant or Go away from me. I never knew you. Everyone is either going to Heaven or Hell. Heaven is everlasting life with Joy, Peace, LOVE. Hell is a million times more terrifying than your worst NIGHTMARE. Thousands ARE going to Hell. Thousands don't believe in Hell. They will when they get there. Demons are waiting to torment them forever. ALL because they REJECTED Jesus as their Savior and are EVIL. Jesus died on the Cross for our sins. Jesus defeated Satan at the Cross. In the Bible, Nichodemus asked Jesus. How can I enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Jesus told him. You must be Saved and Born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. No man goes to the Father except through his son Jesus Christ. On judgement day, ALL knees will bow and all tongues will confess that Jesus is Lord. Question is. Where are YOU going after you die?

Fellow Catholic here! Thank you for this unbiased explanation, I wasn't even able to tell whether you were Catholic or Protestant (or neither) until I scrolled through your videos. Keep it up!
A Protestant (Lutheran) could tell he is Catholic. It's obvious because he doesn't know much about Lutheranism, its people, beliefs, or organizational structure.
@@flash2tz And also that he represents the church splits as orthodox and protestants breaking away from the continuous line of the catholic church. And that he thinks that their teachings about good works make them build more hospitals. I have no idea if that´s actually the case, especially in proportion, but it was kind of transparent that he wanted to make the RCC seem better.
I think the video was good, I learned a lot, but it was certainly not unbiased.
Not knowing we must pray in Jesus name to get to the Father in heaven ...that He alone is our intercessor is how I could tell he is Catholic
@@gratefultemple luckily Catholics believe the same thing!
@@Vanessa1 that's funny he didnt mention Jesus being the ONLY way ...but he did mention Mary and saints being who Catholics turn to for intercession ...although the Bible says no false idols😳
The author failed to mentioned one of the key issues of the reformation. The pope’s infallibility vs. sola scriptura. Protestants, for the most part, tent to believe in the Bible alone as the only source of divine wisdom. Catholics believe in the infallibility of the pope and the bishops. That is a major irreconcilable difference between the two factions of Christianity.
I have friends both in the Catholic and also in the Protestant church. I am Protestant but very disappointed in their behavior and in claiming to be saved when they do NOT bear the fruits that God wants us to bear. I agree with Dominic who states that faith without works is DEAD. Even those who seem to be so spiritual and loving seem to have no heart for the poor nor for those who need help. Religion is not important but relationship with the Lord is most important, by that I mean knowing His word and doing what His spirit leads us to do. For example in the last judgment in the book of Matthew the people will be divided into two groups, the goats and the sheep. I have found that most Protestants believe they are saved by faith alone and do NOT need to care for the poor and needy. They will be in for a great shock when the Lord comes and tells them to depart and go into hell instead of heaven which they proclaim to go to naturally. I found no one to help me, no one to care when I was in need, actually secular friends showed more compassion than those who call themselves Christians.
I agree with you I am Ex-muslim converted to Christianity baptized in Coptic Orthodox church I shocked with Christians' morals just stole the name of Christ. They hurted, exploited and harmed me like Muslims while I was hiding when I fled my country. Then I found myself in Catholicism after experience. I know that of course Catholics are not perfect 100% but at least they are the best in their ethics, heart, faith and mind. Most of the time, the Orthodox Christians are so fanatical, heartless and narrow minded and Protestants are worse than them😟😦 the fruits of the faith is so important. God is about love not about religion.
well if u are a holy man(without any weaknesses nor sin), u don't really need to go to any church, do u?
You will eventually find fault in any body of believers. They are still human, after all.
So sad to here that brother.
@@sawsanelshafey3634 Must remember in the understanding of Protestant Christianity that one must be regenerated or die to their old self, born again by Christ which I feel you most likely were. You had an experience that changed you. I know Islam is not easy to break. The trouble is there are many who CALL themselves Christian because they believe in God and at least in word alone trust Jesus for their redemption in the end. But have never had the EXPERIENCE with Him. The one when He changes your heart. Here's the second problem. The ones who HAVE HAD IT often get lazy in our own little world and stop worrying about our neighbor. Western culture is the personification of this. We went from 50 years ago knowing everyone on the street, maybe even the community and coming together to help one another to a "mind your own business" attitude because our morality has slipped and we don't want to have our sins found out so we isolate ourselves. Thirdly, many probably sadly see you and are struck with fear. Fearing that you are maybe just pretending so that you can gain information to take back to an Imam who is looking to maybe attack. It's sad that folks are like that but Islam has been really, really good at terrorizing and once that hits you you become paralyzed with fear in a lot of ways. I praise Jesus for setting you free and making you a brother/sister (sorry, can't tell from your name. :)). I just ask for patience with us and know that God will provide.
Sounds like a good overview to me. Thanks for the work.
I am agnostic and found this incredibly helpful. I was raised Protestant, and I’m writing a story about someone who is Catholic. I know they’re similar but I needed some extra research. Glad I found this. :)
Angel ,it is not accurate .
A yeoman’s effort here. One thing . . . Jesus said “By this will all men know you are my disciples. By the love you have for one another.” Just sayin’.
Another thing. Jesus said He was establishing a New Covenant. So where was the Old Covenant and were the people of that covenant perfect? Or did God tell them that even if they strayed from their end of the covenant that He would always remain faithful? So were the people of the New Covenant perfect? Not according to the New Testament. They bickered and couldn’t agree on rules for the fledgling Church. Seems that Jesus never gave them a book of rules. He had told the Jews to do what the Pharisees told them to do but not to do as the Pharisees did because they did evil. When He commissioned the apostles He told them “whoever hears you hears Me” so He gave them His power to teach.
Jesus prayed that His followers would be one. Paul castigates the Corinthians for forming factions. So it seems that Christians are living in disobedience by forming factions. In the book of Acts when the apostles disagreed on some point they met together until they came to an agreement. They didn’t go off and start a different church. They made sure that doctrine was the same for all believers.
Ruth Fitzwater exactly
And the Apostles deferred to Peter as first among equals. The first Pope so to speak.
I agree, it is the devil that separates us. Myself, I go to Catholic Mass for communion where the Holy Spirit is present strongly in the communion. I also listen to some of the better Protestant Bible teachers. We are all Christians and are going to the same place through Jesus Christ. Let’s truly love our brothers and sisters.
Totally agree with you I'm not Catholic I'm church of England but I admit I am strongly drawn towards the Catholic Church and I am considering changing xxx
The Mass is an act of idolatry repugnant to the Holy Spirit. Bread & wine are not turned into Christ there, nor is He to be sacrificed again. He died once for all for our sins.
One of the things I have a problem with Catholicism is the corruption of the pope and also works are a byproduct of faith, the thief on the cross went to heaven but didn’t hav the works. He did with faith alone and Jesus had told him he will be in heaven with him soon. I might be non denominational but I’m still Protestant and believe the same believe as Catholics, I’ve just seen corruption from the “head” of the church and also I’m not gonna pray to anyone besides the one and only lord, no human or “Saint” can save me or forgive me beside God
Amen, Amen.
@@zoemarie5568 Please come and have a look at the Catholic faith. We are usually very mild people. The faith is beautiful and deep.
Difference between Protestant beliefs and Catholic beliefs are miles apart!
Works have nothing to do with one's Salvation as it is a Free Gift from God. We can do nothing to obtain Salvation. The Works comes in as a result of our Salvations. James is talking about doing works upon one’s Salvation and if there are no works then their Salvation and Faith is dead. If one is saved, the Holy Spirit comes into them and as a result, the Holy Spirit directs our good works of SPREADING the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST and praying continuously, helping especially the downhearted and poor with what is at our disposal!
If you have not the Holy Spirit, you will not even think to help spread the wonders of Jesus, much less help anyone!
The Catholic Church encourages the veneration of Mary and all their saints, at least one for each day of the year! They place Statutes and kneelers along the alters to allow the faithful to worship Mary and the Saints. No image shall you bow down to and worship!?
The Only Mediator between man and God, is the Man-God, Jesus Christ!
A lot of difference in the Catholic & Protestant’s beliefs. That belief comes from God’s Holy Word, written down in the Bible!
Great video. Thank you.
I would like to add that there are a lot of Protestants who also believe that faith without works is dead. The difference is however that we say that it's not faith plus works but this actually means that you are still saved solely based on faith alone. Real faith, however, will produce works automatically because your heart will be transformed by the Holy Spirit and His fruits will show themselves in a change of your attitudes because of your faith. In the sense of "I can love because He first love me and I can forgive because He forgave me first". It might seem like a minor detail but for me it's makes a big difference because the works do not come from me in order to be saved, but they come from God through me because I am already saved.
may believe but not backed with action.

God knows best what the actions of them are. I don't think that you know all of them, so please don't judge. Just because they don't brag about their good deeds before people doesn't mean that they didn't do anything.

I agree. The difference is no faith and work but faith and traditions. Catholics tend to forget Jesus while engaging in their traditions. I am catholic myself but always regard myself as a Christian and nothing else.

You left out that Catholic’s have the body of Christ on their crosses where as Protestants don’t.
I am Catholic but I have the protestant empty cross. But the crucifix with Christ on it is a reminder to us what Christ suffered on the cross for us, and that he's our savior.
Amy P the crucifix is s graven image which is forbidden by exodus 20:4,”THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE,(dimensional depiction,statue) OF ANYTHING IN HEAVEN,ON EARTH,OR IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH,THOU SHALT NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM OR WORSHIP THEM”
This was the original second commandment until it was changed by the catholic church ,so they could worship statues.open link for proof,it’s not a video.

Amy P the crucifix is an artist conception and does not capture the brutality of the crucifixion.do you know that they actually plucked HIS beard out ?

Faith is all that's required to be saved. For it is God's grace that we may be saved and not our own works.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.
Works and bearing fruit are great of course, but they don't lead to salvation.
Finally, a non biased explanation of the differences. Really feel such videos are necessary. We may have differences but we should at least be informed and be respectful of one another's practices and beliefs. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻
Amen!!
It's impossible to talk about religion - about most things, actually - without bias. The fact tha you and I agree with his bias does not make him unbiaseed. The danger o considering religious opinions unbiased is it creates "the true opinion". Even a benign opinion, if considered to be the true one, can clash with other opinions. Muslims, for instance, consider Christians and Jews as sharing the same background and call for a special respect towards them (us) - and that can clash with the idea that Christians share the same backtround. The only truth us Christians should hold is "love your neighbor as you love thyself". (remember that neighbor is not your actual neighbor but all those next to you and in the 21st century that means around 8 billion people)
How can anyone be unbiased?
If one defends scripture and the gospel, one cannot be unbiased regarding this subject.
There is no respect due to idolatry. Worshiping saints & Mary is idolatry, even if you call it veneration.

ruclips.net/video/MCVc4rRL53g/видео.html
I think that Slim Hriat was getting at what you all were somewhat saying about needing faith and works combined, because if you try to "have" one but not the other you won't have either, I know I can have a stronger faith at times and have good works and glorify God with my All and All as He Makes possible through His Life and Sacrifice and as He is good. But it's somewhat like what 1st Corinthians 13 talks about with love and how true love is God's love as He is love as it/He says in the good Ole Word that's Living and Nourishment for our souls as He Intended and Intends good with and for and in us as we Need to be in Him our Father in Heaven together United the Church through His Precious and Almighty Son Jesus Christ, not waver or forfeit, I'm tired of wavering and just settling and "living" with the lies and bad silence and not being open as I should but instead settling for the bad and lies of the past mistakes and Satan whispering that we'll never be good enough as he always tries to until God will Destroy his tongue and silences him, as God Wants and does good as He is good and Loves us Unconditionally and Gave us the Gift of Life and Free Will so we wouldn't be robots and the Walk would be more and actually fully personal and worth it and possible as He Makes possible and through and with Him, we're "fearfully and wonderfully made" part of Psalms 139:11-16, He's Wanting and Making the Best, to have more faith and Stand Strong to and with Him in True and His Truth and Love and Life and Light, He is the Only Way Almighty and Everlasting, and I know that there is alot of differences out there, but I believe we can do Abounding things with God as He Intended Plans and Wants it and to and as He is Abounding and Wants the truth and good to be done, to not waver but Stand Firm to and with Him our Firm Foundation and Truth in Love, not an act or game we play or be lukewarm since that is a dishonor to God as we are Intended be His Children and Created in His Image for a good Purpose to Overcome through Him this corrupted world that He so Graciously is still somehow Making Beautiful and Wonderful, But this is Not Home truely, oh I can only Imagine what a Day that will be! I Hope to see you all and everyone in this group chatting thingy mabob Up There Rejoicing and at the Great Feast, to not fear but be Ready in His good Way, keep doing good and join me as God is Helping us all along together and Wanting the Best, I love you all, as God so Graciously has Given me and Calls for True Love, True Faith. Some other Scriptures that i was reading recently and also stuck out in my Bible as Words to Treasure were James 1:22 talking about having real faith and Living for God our All and All as He is our Example Truely, and then also 2nd Corinthians 7:1. Take care and prayers and love and action all around, Abounding good that is and to be done with and to and by and through Him. But I feel he was getting at if we have a real faith as he said then good works for and with and by and in God will follow and happen aswell and it will be true, i think the key word is "real", but also about that scripture i talked about earlier but never listed before i got on that long process and train of thought of mine that i often do, but to be United in love and truth and even the good differences and to bear with eachother as i read also in the Bible somewhere in the New Testament either Jesus or one of His followers/ the Disciples or Apostles said it through and by God, as He is with and For us Never against us; but also to have Compassion and act upon what God Wants. But that scripture about how God is love, it was in 1st John 4:7-12. There's so much as He is good, Living, Loving and Abounding, He is bringing us Home and making us Complete All in His Time and Way that's Best, just to be open and willing and make truely meaningful. With Love
The passage being referred to says… Faith without works is dead. It doesn’t say… Salvation without works is dead‼️ The works being referred to are works of the spirit, as in love your fellow man. They are not referring to Works of man-made rituals. If you truly have faith, the works will show, automatically, you won’t even be able to help it. If there are no works, and I mean works of the spirit, then there was no faith in the first place. So it all goes back to the truth... Faith alone in Jesus Christ is what saves you, and there are a multitude of passages to confirm that. It is not possible to truly believe in Jesus Christ, and the amazing gift he gave to us, and not want to please him. Most Catholics believe that the works are the most important thing, and that what the works don’t complete, purgatory will finish off. Very bad doctrine
I always thought the Church of England was started by the actions of Henry the eighth because the Pope wouldn't recognize his multiple marriages
He didn't go into that in any detail at all. But he did call it out when he said the Anglican church split from Catholics and later joined Protestantism.
@@paulruffins5012 no, it is as simple as King Henry wanting a divorce. If not for that, England would most likely still be largely Catholic today. England had no part in Martin Luther's reformation.
@@Raymond_Petit You are right. In fact Henry wrote books defending Catholicism and he received the title from the Pope "Defender of the Faith" . He would not have asked the Pope for a divorce or annulment if he agreed with Protestantism. It was only when refused he became protestant....
King Henry VIII wanted annulment (which means marriage never happened and children born within this union are bastards), so he can remarry.
But there are conditions to be granted annulment:
-consanguinity too strong
-impossibility to consummate the marriage
Kc.114:14 There is baptism when there is a prophet messenger on earth, and the prophet messengers are the manifestation of God, that is why their books are the Word of God. The prophet messenger is God manifested on earth. Amen! There is the Father, Who is, God manifested above us, the son, who is, God manifested in the person of the prophet messenger among us and the Holy Spirit, God as a Spirit in us.[Ed: The congregation says, Amen]. Bear in mind that the Son of God and the son of man, it is like the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heavens. They are two faces of the same thing. For the elect, John 3:16 will always be alive from generation unto generation till He comes. In every generation, God has always sent on earth, a saviour by whom we are to be saved. When Noah was sent on earth, it was as the only son of God! When Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Amos… were sent on earth, each of them came in his time as the only-begotten son of God so that whoever believes in them has eternal Life. This is the exact truth!

You know torturing, killing, burning at the stake people that did not adhere do their doctrine, is where I have a huge problem with the history of the Catholic Church...

Protestant don’t read the same bible. They read an edited version w/ 7 missing books.
66 books of the Bible. that's inspired by the Holy Spirit. All the gospels point out one message, that Jesus is the only way, truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except by Him. So we don't need any more or less, this Bible is perfect and enough to know God's will for us.
for protestants Bible is the word of God. We read and study the word of God regularly and believe in Jesus as our lord and saviour. He alone is our mediator between man and God. We focus on our relationship with God. And btw we don't believe everything thing blindly what people say, including the priests and bishops - We refer to the Bible. Jesus is the head of the Church. We are taught to imitate Jesus. And be like Him in thoughts words and action. So we don't believe in praying to saints because we r all saints in the eyes of God as we r saved by grace through faith which is a gift from God the father.

Thank you Jesus for saving me by your grace and not my works ! Because I love him and the salvation he has given me my good works follow
@Ian there will never be heaven on earth by our efforts. / mans innate desire to sin will see to that. / why do you think we need redemption? / we can only be saved if we are lost. / our faith is a gift from God, so to thank him for that grace is not selfish. / works are a fruit of that grace and a response shared toward others. / no where does it say in scripture, either by the words of Christ himself, or in the didactic portions of the apostles, that we are to make heaven on earth. / we are to share the love of Christ, in its many manifestations with others.... and that is as close as we will ever come to heaven on earth, which is a long way off from eternity with the Holy, Eternal, Sovereign God.
@Ian where do i begin?? / what your describing, as well as the ethereal diatribe from pierre, is nothing more than humanism at its most common. / to think that we will become our own Christ...our own messiah is so self-based, why bother bringing God or heaven into the conversation? / most faiths are based on spiritual elements, evidentiary history and written affirmations. / that does not include poetic license in a quote that has no real substance. / the pipe dream of future human perfection is absolute nonsense as has been displayed so overwhelmingly in our own human history. / ethereal quotes and well intentioned philosophers have been around for thousands of years and what is offered has never come to fruition because man is incapable of perfection. / that's why, as traditional as it may sound, a redeemer is needed to bridge the gap, not from man to god, but from God to man. / the great "somewhere" that pierre so readily objectifies is truly more illusionary than anything the bible can be accused of. / as far as the bible...though it has been abused, misused, skewed in all manner, is actually a remarkably accurate and incredibly profound record of the human condition...and its remedy. /after years of study in most of the worlds faiths and religions, i have seen without doubt the validity of its wisdom and the honesty of its truths. / i am sticking with it and refraining from dependent hope on hopeless man. // thanks.
@Ian that is the blasphemy prophesied about ,that would be found in the last days ,men would say they are Christ.
@Ian I take the parts of the Bible literally that are clearly meant to be ,others are not. Such as the symbolism of Revelation. .I am not at the early stages of development ..If you look at the last century apart from the sudden increase in knowledge ,which the Bible prophesied, how has man developed as a being .He is no more intelligent ,just as violent and left to his own way will soon destroy the planet. He has produced atomic power which he cannot control .The Japanese disaster is constantly pumping out radio active water which is killing the life of the Pacific.With dead fish being washed up on the American coast. There is no sign of anything positive in the future. .I think you are the one behaving like a child ,not facing the reality of man's destruction of the planet .
The Bible warns of those who will destroy the earth .God spoke through PROPHETS AND OUTLINED THE FUTURE OF MANKIND. If you bothered to study it you would find the Empires predicted and several like Babylon , Persia ,and Greece named.Then there are numerous prophecies about Israel and the Middle East.Then of course the ones about Jesus birth ,life and death and how he will come back when the Jews are back in their land after being scattered all over the world .That was said hundreds of years before His birth.
@Ian what you fail to realize is that what you are saying has been said for thousands of years. /many philosophers have always embraced the "pursuit of the gnostic". / it is the common deception of the nonspiritual to frame their own imagination as the basis for their "spiritual awareness". / i wasted many years in such pursuits until reality made me realize that i was achieving nothing because i was drawing from nothing. / what you call mythic embryonics is in actuality returning to primary principles of reason and logic. / for example; to take the so-called "scientific" approach to our own existence has a plethora of opinions by men who are trying to circumvent the simple principle that "something cannot come from nothing" ( ex nihilo nihil fit)(out of nothing nothing comes), / this one point has been the path to almost endless pursuit by unarguably erudite people who waste an entire life ignoring the obvious. / one of the primary flaws in the mind of man is that "modern man is more intelligent that the previous generations".. / the truth is that we have more information but not more intelligence. / ultimately, i have come to realize that if i am truly pursuing truth then i have to seek the source that possesses all truth, who was before time and before the material and brought all things into being with power and purpose. / not the nonsensical notion that chance (which has no power) or energy that lacks purpose, brought things into existence. / i find it interesting that people who consider themselves as open-minded pursuers of truth, blatantly and militantly reject out of hand the most viable, logical and even verifiable evidence. / i know you fashion yourself as in the vanguard of modern reason and thought, but what you fail to realize is that you have no foundation from which to stand or ascend... other than self, and that, is an unstable a base to start from as any i can imagine. / what you think is ascending knowledge leading to the ultimate nirvana or utopia is actually a descent into the abyss of self pacification and self deception.

Hmm... At 0:55 in the video is where you've got your church history wrong. The Orthodox (Eastern) Christian Church was the original Christian Church from the time of Christ. *The Catholics split from the Orthodox Church* ; not the other way around. The Catholic religion is just more prevalent in the Western world, so to think they were first is is a common mistake and misunderstanding.
The Catholics decided to create and hold fast to certain rules/traditions that the original Christian Church didn't agree with. For instance, the Catholics decided to make it mandatory (instead of optional) that priests not marry a wife.
All Orthodox priests are allowed and encouraged to marry, as this is/was seen as pleasing and holy to do. They did *not* agree to this new, made-up tradition to force priests into celebacy, as they believed it would give sin a foothold.. (And they we're right!! ... The Catholic sex scandals were - and still are - rampant in the Catholic Church. In medieval times, it was Popes with mistresses. In current times, heartbreakingly, it's with Priests and children. Ugh.)
There were several other things that had to do with the Catholic Church deciding their own traditions, (especially concerning finances and leadership practices...) that were not in line with the original Christian faith, as passed down from the original disciples.
(For reference, study more about the Saint Barnabas and Saint Paul disagreement and agreeable split - Paul went West, Barnabas went East. Both were good, Christians and decipels of Christ).
In the eyes of the original, Orthodox Church, the Catholics seemed to be doing away with what was originally passed down from the earliest Christians - which is why the *very first* Christian church and their traditions, is called "Orthodox".
I encourage you and all who are interested, to do more research on the history of Christianity. The Western world isn't where Christianity originated, but where it evolved into a Church with the same principals of faith, but with different traditions.
Dragonfly sparrow. How about the fact that Henry the Eighth approached the Orthodox church so that his priests from the Church of England would receive religious training. As to whether the Roman catholic church predated the Orthodox Church. Was it not the Romans that crucified the Christians for their religious beliefs?

@@dragonflysparrow8460 . No need for any agreement what you said are facts.
The early Christian Church had a pope, Pope Peter. The Eastern Orthodox rejected the pope and the papacy in 1054, so it is the Eastern Orthodox, not the Catholics, who are in schism. Unrepentant schismatics lose their souls.
On the celibacy matter, the pope never interferred with the Eastern practice of married clergy. The Eastern Orthodox did not leave the Church over this, this was not an issue in the events of 1054.
Faith without works is dead,if you claim to be saved ,and you show no fruits of salvation,spread the gospel,feed the poor,love your brothers,then obviously you are just kidding yourself !
Sorry not true. Book of James is about justification in man's eyes not salvation. James was speaking to Christians or bro in Christ. Read James again.
Jason Thompson i think what i was saying is works is proof of salvation we do not have to prove anything to GOD.it is for our own benefit,also if you think that you are saved but you do not bear fruit ,you’re deceiving yourself.
The bible says.EPHESIANS 2:8+9,”FOR YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH AND NOT OF YOURSELF IT IS A GIFT OF GOD AND NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST”
Jason Thompson show me where it says justification in man’s eyes please.
Jason Thompson ROMANS 5:1,”THEREFORE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH,WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”
The only justification is in GOD’S eye not in men’s eyes.
JESUS didn’t die for us to be justified in the eyes of men.
Jason Thompson The very word justification is the removal of guilt,not from men,but from GOD.
We are saved by the grace of God; faith and and good works is our response to God's grace and love.

Amen. You could check my testimony. I was raised in a Orthodox family very similar to Catholicism
A very good, short and concise, presentation of the main issues. I'm a Baptist with deep respect for the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic Churches.
Hello Catholic here. Really appreciate your comment, Bro!
i love your explaination and now ik why i always desired to be Catholic
As a Protestant, on #3 you missed the mark on the doctrine of justification. Every protestant confession taught that true faith is followed by works. In fact, John Calvin was the first commentator to begin using 1 John as a series of tests of faith, to prove a professing Christians faith as genuine by his works. Otherwise I wholeheartedly agree we have a lot more in common than usually is thought!
The difference of the doctrine of justification really lies in the intermediaries and sacramental merit. We wholeheartedly disagree that there is any saving merit except faith alone, we hold that our merit and righteousness is from our union with Christ alone, of which the Roman tradition is at variance with us on an individuals acquirement of that union in more ways than one. We especially distinctly hold that it is an entirely alien and foreign righteousness that we now possess by faith. Works being the evidence and fruit of faiths reality or existence. Especially of divergence in Roman tradition, is that works gain merit and establish a kind of righteousness on its own. Not enough space to expound on that. Just as a hard and fast example of these distinctions, we hold that 1 Peter 3:21 is symbolic and at the very least speaking of the baptism which Christ baptizes with, a baptism in the spirit that brings us into union with Christ. "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:13 / Matt. 3:11 -- Otherwise, if Peter is speaking about water baptism, we have serious internal contradictions in the New Testament Apostles of which this isn't the space to expand on that either.
Additionally we as protestants never left the Roman Church due to these other doctrines he mentioned, but it was primarily Sola Scriptura which bore the fruit of the doctrine of justification and this was truly the fulcrum of the early reformers issue with the Roman Church. They recognized that the appeal to scripture was not sufficient to establish the doctrine of justification they had discovered there, and these early reformers simply could not with a clear conscience confess and teach differently. Therefore, the eventual excommunication and split. And to meet this fullness of time, the recent advent of the printing press allowed the writings of Luther to spread throughout all of Europe. Thus, an exodus from within the church took place.
Finally, the very name coined "Reformation" proves also that these early men who were split from the Roman church believed they were re-establishing what had been the true church from the days of the Apostles. I understand the disputes and controversies, yet the protestant in me demands that our true doctrinal positions aren't misrepresented. There would have never been a reformation had there not been excommunication of Luther, of whom this "30%-50%" of the Catholic Church found his statements convincing and faithful to the word of God. With his excommunication, followed the excommunication of all who believed his initial statements and explanations. And of those who didn't participate in Luther's excommunication, their were many influenced by Luther's writing to reform the church while remaining within the Roman Church--thus, the counter reformation became a positive turning point for the Roman Catholics.
Rejection passed through the ages... yeah rather then face reality they choose to reject it, many protestants still feel rejected because of the traditions.. I honestly see a middle ground here where the 2 can work together and help each other. I think Christians should be given sanctuary in a catholic church for confession and catholics can share wisdom at protestant churches, faith and works are both necessary but complacency is a human sin not a sin against God. Also many of the old guard reject the church in general because they were unfortunately misjudged and felt rejected. I know their's common ground here but sometimes their are stubbornness and we can't change people.
I don't quite agree with you. Protestants also believe Faith without work is dead. We believe that Faith leading to work is a genuine faith.
This is certainly not true for all Protestant Groups. Calvanists and Puritans for instance.
Yet St James .... God says, faith is made complete by works. Works of love. Or restated: without works of love, faith is incomplete.
_You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works_ (Ja 2:22)
One comes to an initial faith, a faith that says I believe. But to believe is to live a life of love, for God and neighbor. That faith is never, ever separated from our works of love. That's why James says faith is made complete by works. He's not talking about that that initial coming to say I believe, hes talking about that faith we have as we strive to live a life of holiness as Christ calls us to do. Faith is never alone from love.
When you said "WORK", did you mean "OBEY"? If God says ONE THING, the pope says ANOTHER THING. Whom would you OBEY? God? or the pope?
@@vanessathieu6205 since I am quoting Saint James, brother of our Lord, directly, from the KJV for protestants in fact, then yes the word work was used by God.
@@vanessathieu6205 "Whom would you OBEY?''
Whom do YOU defer to Vanessa to interpret scripture? Is your authority your pastor or yourself?
When scripture says
_Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you_ (1 Pet 3;21) and the apostles taught their descendants the same, and the descendants, theirs, but your pastor professes a man-made doctrine only heard of in Christianity in the last 500 years, should one believe the bible, or your pastor? Who do YOU follow and obey?
There is no teaching of the Church that contradicts scripture, only your fallible interpretation of it.
The only difference between the Catholic Church and the Protestant church, is their source of ultimate authority. The Catholics believe the Pope is their voice for God, and the Protestants believe the Bible is the preserved Word of God, which is not up to private interpretation. Everything is focused on this crux.
Thank you for the respect your presentation shows to both Catholics and Protestants. Loved it.
Thom, what he presented was evidence that the charismatic movement is still active rather the OP knows it or not. The movement is designed to lure the protestant back to the catholic church by pointing out how much we have in common and therefore should not separate from the catholic church... Jesuit trickery at it's finest
@manky toe nail06 Well all through the dark ages I know the ones who refused to believe in the great whore were killed for not joining the biggest cult in the world!
@Tommy Ray Study Revelation . This term was given to Israel in the O.T.when she followed pagan Gods. Rome under Theodosius made the pagans join the Roman church,by threatening to take their property.See the laws of Theodosius. This was spiritual fornication, and changed the gospel of repentance to join the Roman church only.. Revelation describes the false church in symbolic language . ch.17.v.4- 9
If peter was the first pope, why was he married? Christ is the rock foundation, not peter, Christ the ROCK said: my church, not peter's church, peter is the wrong rock, thats why is not the church of Christ, it was not dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ but to a man, that was called rock.
great answer-well said
You really must study early church history. What you assert is simply not the understanding and teaching of the early church fathers or the last 20 centuries of continuous authentic Christian teaming. All of your questions have good, solid, biblical answers. There are many excellent resources online. Please stop fighting against the Church Christ founded and come home to the Catholic Church. catholic.com chnetwork.org/
@@filiusvivam4315 my answers and his answers are correct the church as you Proclaim it does not really exist yes it does by name and because your popes have made it so but it is Christ Church was instituted by Christ for the gospels be taken forward by his Apostles to throughout the world as we are to do today but remember that in the first 100 years after Christ apostasy apostasy already existed not because of Christ Christ did nothing wrong but because man fell two are through Satan just as they did the Garden of Eden during the time of many other places in the Bible and so forth and we are still in apostasy today in many respects with many false doctrines only the Bible and the truth of the Bible is what exists for Christians to follow and many other versions of the Bible are inaccurate for many other reasons as well God bless you

Catholics are not Christians. They are pope-worshipping Catholics. The use of biblical terms have different definitions. They have deleted one of the commandments because it contradicts their idol worship. The Roman Catholic Church is a cult within a cult. The list of biblical differences could go on. Don’t be fooled by ecumenism.
Being born in 1995 in America, in the US far from the troubles of Ireland, I've only ever seen a friendly competition between Catholics and Protestants. It's always been looked at similar to opposing/rival sports teams, in my lifetime. Because of this, I've always enjoyed the light jabs shared between the two groups. Most Protestants don't believe Catholics are going to hell, and vice versa, so the other differences no longer matter as much.
Catholics do not believe half half as you assumed on Jesus.
Matt Fyfield, I am a Roman Catholic and I really appreciate your presentation. We need someone like you to talk about this lesson.

Great objective explanation. One clarification, Protestants pray directly to God the Father through Jesus who is the High Priest who "sits at the right hand of the Father, making intercession day and night", based on the scripture "there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for all".
Why do you think Catholics say the this every Sunday?
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen
@@merynco well said. The question then becomes what is baptism? The Greek word baptizo literally means to immerse, bury, plunge, or dip. Every example of baptism performed in the NT is done once one comes to believe that Jesus is the son of God as you have stated. In Romans 6 Paul says it is by being baptized that we participate in Jesus's death, burial, and resurrection. Sprinkling is not a burial, only immersion is and infants are not able to reason and thus believe. So sprinkling water on an infant is not baptism as performed in Scripture. Only the immersion or burial in water of someone who is old enough to believe and confess Jesus to be the son of God is able to be truly baptized and have their sins washed away (Acts 22:16).
@@merynco I lead a Bible Study at work and I love a catholic man who comes and he loves me. He has been going to a catholic s=church for 55 years....and he could not find the book of Luke....he was in 1st Samuel.......why is that?

0:12 _"they read the same Bible"_
1) not same canon, since a Catholic Bible has "72 books, or 73 of you count Baruch separately from Jeremiah".
2) not same translation, since to Catholics King James and even more explicitly Evangelical ones are a nono, and to Protestants the Douay Rheims is often either unknown or suspect.
You are correct. The Book that I love most from the Original Bible is one of the 7 ones that were taken out by Luther when he mutilated it. It is the Book of Wisdom. When my father died, I selected a reading from this Book for his Funeral Mass and I read it while I cried. It is Wisdom 3:1-9 Wisdom 3: 1 - 9
1
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them.
2
In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction,
3
and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.
4
For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality.
5
Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;
6
like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.
7
In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble.
8
They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever.
9
Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
Jesus asked
Who do u say I am ?
Matthew 16
13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

The only way to God is through Jesus Christ , there is no other way .
Marie Lentini greetings. That is true, but Our Blessed Lord in his infinite mercy and Love provided us with a shepherd and guide to lead we the masses to HIM the Pope. Matt 16:19 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” The last sentence the most crucial. Peace.
through Jesus is our common agreement. the difference i think is the way we try to go through Him

@@gamerwisetv8176 greetings and salutations. Do you and billions of others have photographs of loved ones? Why? To bring them to mind? Is that idolatry? If you were to worship them, then would they would become idols. Anything can become an idol of course, football trophies, celebrities, money, status, etc. etc. Statues have been for centuries the "photo equivalent", a reminder of a loved or venerated one, no more no less. The Pope has allowed them not as idols or any potential for such, but as with photos to bring to mind the love and merits of those saintly, holy and thus loved. Serving as aids to greater levels of prayer and holiness in the beholder, as one contemplates and MEDITATES on their heroic virtues. Peace.
You got wrong at your first statement about reading the same Bible.
I was about to say the same thing because according to history Catholics have the true bible before 1517 when they split up and Martin Luther took care of throwing away 6 to 7 books away from it because he didn't agree with it. Who's he to go against God's rules?

@@uncleruckus2974 yes 73 books that Jesus left behind for all to studying and obey. 66 that the Devil wants others to read, so that you don't get all the info. Notice how 66 resembles the number 666?

God bless you brother!!!
@@SoyElegidaPorDiosEnSuCatolica Actually Luther was not the only one who decided to take books out of the bible. , but it is always better to blame someone we all know than introduce more people. The Books taken out of the canon of scriptures were the ones that either were full of history or had conflicting doctrines with established scripture.
Even the Jews do not hold with those same books as being scriptural.
However they can still be used from an historical nature.
As a point of clarification, the protestants hold to the idea that prayer is in fact communication. That being the case praying to saints, people who have died, is communication with the dead. This is strictly prohibited in Deuteronomy in that it is in fact a seance. This is an occult practice and thus prohibited. I think that details matter in that they explain the reasons behind a particular practice or rejection of practice.
You imply at the end that Protestants don’t care about good works. As a Wyoming Episcopalian, I disagrree! We are duty-bound to do Good Works as followers of Christ.🙋🏼♀️🏔💞🌠
I've worked with some Southern Baptists and Pentecostals who would disagree.
Kevin Burke I know. Christians are rarely in agreement.🤦🏼♀️
Mormons are big on works.
That is true Protestants don't believe in Good work.Martin Luther said that seeking God's grace comes before doing good works.But the Bible says in James that" a man with all faith but no works is a dead man"... Apostle Paul strictly apposed such Churches that preached the same things.....That's why u see Prostitution, gamble, porn, LGBT marriage is legal in Protestant dominated countries...!!!

@@wendymitchell8245 I am an evangelical Christian who feels no need to convert to Rome. But one problem evangelicals have to deal with is that many of us belong to churches that have short histories. A lot of us belong to churches that began in the 1830's or the 1870's on the American frontier. We went to small chapels or store front churches that were poorly maintained. It is a surprise to grow up in these churches and then read about men like Augustine or Saint Francis. Going to Europe and seeing the magnificent Cathedrals is challenging. Also the artwork in some of these European Cathedrals is impressive. I remain an evangelical Christian because I see how the gospel transform lives. The gospel of Christ makes a person a new person in Christ. He or she leaves their sin and goes on to become a child of God.

@@deanhall9292Meh.
Hi I am a Catholic Priest, thanks for your explanation
@Pinus Raisins no
@Pinus Raisins when Protestants are praying for one another, they are paying to God only. They pray to God about every issue. It sounds like you're saying if they pray to God only, they can't be praying for other? Why?
@Pinus Raisins Oh! I see where your confusions is coming from. Yes Catholics can pray to God for themselves and for others. When we say we're praying for someone, we're not doing their prayers FOR them, we're holding them up in prayer. We're asking God to ie. give then strength, healing,patience...We're not mediating for them. We can't do that. 1 Tim 2:5 says, " There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus".
We can't ask a dead person to pray for us. They're dead. Deuteronomy18:9-14 tells us not to consult the dead. Jesus loved His mother, but He made it plain she was not to be elevated above any believer. In Luke 11:28 As Jesus was saying these things, (talking about demons) a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you." But Jesus replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
And again in Mark 3:31-35 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside they sent someone to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, "Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you." " Who are my mother and my brothers?" he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother." They seemed to be under the impression that bc they were family that would give them 'an in' to see Jesus, but that didn't happen.
There's no doubt Mary was blessed to be able to birth the only Son of God, but that's as far as her blessings go according to the Son that loved her dearly, she was no better than any believer. If that's Jesus's stance, then I'm in agreement with him. HE is our only focus, not his mother. She can not mediate for anyone. And certainly not while she's dead. The bible said Jesus is in heaven. Mary will rise one day just as the others who are saved according to 1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command common with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. John 5:28-29 'Do not Marvel at this, for an hour is coming when ALL who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.'
I don't know why Catholics say Mary is in heaven they have no scripture to back that. Jesus was raised from the dead. Nowhere does it says Mary was raised from the dead. She's in the grave as we all are when we die.
Psalm 115:17 says, ' The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.'
Jesus is coming to get those who have have asleep. ICor.15:23 says, ' But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.'
I Cor.15:51-54 Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality, Then shall come to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

@Pinus Raisins this is where Catholics get confused because in the book of Ephesians it says that Jesus humbled himself before the holy Spirit put him in Mary's belly that means he gave up his divinity he didn't stop being God but he didn't have the the glory of God because Mary's body could not have taken it it would have killed heralso in Luke 1 46 and 47 Marianne says she rejoices in God her saviorif she was the mother of God she wouldn't need a savior but she was mother of Jesus the man and that's where Catholics get confused
Keep up the good work, Chelsi. You have my encouragement.
This is a great video and you did a fantastic job at explaining the differences 👏🏽
The Catholic and Protestant Bibles are not the same.
Well if we take salvation seriously this is what we need to know. They are not both Christians. The moment you believe Jesus is really in the " Eucharist" then he is not the same Jesus of the bible, you are not of THE WAY. The moment You believe that Mary "assist" Jesus ( co-mediatrix) for salvation then you have a different Jesus than the bible, The moment you believe that the popes represent Jesus on earth you are crazy (read history). The moment you believe that Mary ascended or was born without sin ( she called Jesus MY SAVIOR) you belong to a cult. The moment yu kneel before images you are idolatrous.
My humble opinion - If the Holy Spirit have no room to operate in the church it will split and split until they are erased.
Assuming there are people within the group that recognize that the Holy spirit is being quenched. Sadly, sometimes no one in a church group recognizes this so the group continues for years. Also, people need to understand the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Again, sadly, many do not. As an aside, I got quite the shock when I discovered the ugly carnal behavior of a woman who was a group leader in the "things of the Holy spirit". I had admired her as a spiritual leader, but when she attacked me with a very unkind treatment, that brought her down to size in my eyes. All Christians are capable of behaving in an unchristian way. Hopefully, she came to realize that her behaviour was sinful.
Michael Rualzakhuma
Brother that is job of devil to split
Plus Holy Spirit has plenty of room and yes he leaves that person who separates himself from God and comes to you, for example, but not to start new churches but to fix people He left in one Church we have, because Church as was Jesus is pure but we’re not we sin we are bad, not Church, Judas was bad not Jesus
Apostles were bad not Jesus
What do you think about this
@@wakeupcall8188 It depends on how you define split. Sometimes, there is no moving foward in a group of Christians. Some want to keep things the same week after week and allow no room for any changes that would be more helpful for some members. They can be very stubborn and unbending on things that are really not worth resisting, such as if you add new worship songs to the service that the youth enjoy singing. i haecv seen issues like this separate members of a church, yet, they still say hello in the grocery store or the doctor's office when they are about in their community. Simply because a group of Christians choose to meet in another location, such as a community hall, rather than the church building, that is not necessarily an evil thing. It's not ideal, but not something to fret about. it is better than having constant disagreements while attending the same service year in year out. that is why there are various denominations - different groups emphasize different teachings. No human group is infallible and has all the truth. we are on a journey of learning over time, at least we need to be learning every day about God and his teachings and His will.
Marilyn Crosbie
Dear sister I see genuine and loving spirit in you and that God dwells there and you are capable to realise and see the truth so please, use that gift don’t quench that spirit
- Bear with me, pray over it and use That Spirit, your faith, logic and reason, and tell me if I’m wrong
-I’ll start from your last statement that no group is infallible and have all truth,
-In short, sister, Apostles did and all those who follow Apostolic Tradition still have
-Sister Jesus is that Truth and He delivered that truth to all of us TO RECEIVE HIM PROPER WAY, HIS WAY COMPLETELY, IN WHOLE, NOT TO PICK AND CHOOSE and started with Apostles
- Apostles did, because they received Him and delivered that truth to their disciples
and they did because they receive Him and delivered that to next generation of disciples
All the way till today
- But not everyone
- Some didn’t
- Some did a little bit
- Some did in twisted way
- What they all have in common is they have chosen what’s truth they take from Christ and what to believe about Jesus, and they can split or start something new like Arians for example, saying that Jesus is not Devine, not God the Son
They have left sound doctrine, Apostles and Apostolic Tradition
1 John 2:19 KJV
[19] They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out , that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
For similar reasons, many epistles existed and even Jesus’s letters to seven churches in revelation
Their truth was not Apostolic Tradition was not Jesus’s truth, was not Jesus
- If your saying is correct sister and they are not infallible then why we follow their doctrine, why we trust bible, how we know truth and what to follow
- It’s not just for them and that time either because Jesus said Go Baptise All Nations In The Name Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit
-All this I’ve explained is
One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, Body of Christ, that Jesus established
- That same Church put Bible together to separate that truth, that sound doctrine from heresies or that time
- Church fathers disciples of Apostles continued same way in Baptism, Holy Mass Eucharist, faith, morals and delivering us that same way and all the way till today
SO, FROM ALL THIS, SISTER, WE CAN NOT SEPARATE ourselves and start something new, because we separate ourselves from Christ and starting something of our own
I hope you see that
- Neither Jesus nor Holy Spirit would ever say that to someone to split His Church
- I can go in detail but I’ll wait for your response
Mine Is already too long
- Church is pure clean in teachings and faith and morals
- As I said before, we are not, so were ever we go, we “contaminate” that area with our sins, because we are sinners and if one leave His Church, that Jesus established, as a sinner, didn’t change it’s heart, what makes you think, that one will be better ( I mean fully better , to become Saints) in some groups with less truth, one in theory can, of course, if changes one’s heart, which again go back to us, as problem, ignorance of truth and spiritual sloth of Jesus and everything one had before or to do what’s one wants to do, not what one’s supposed to do
So it’s not Church to blame not Jesus to blame but us
If someone leaves, like in 1500, in reformation, any little tiny things becomes big problem because there is no final Authority and me as pastor, I’m an authority and you as member if you agree or not, or as long as you agree
- So yesterday we split from pastor John
- today me and you are together,
- tomorrow I’m leaving you and starting new church
- come on sister think about who was led by Holy Spirit in first place here, pastor John, me or you, or none, we all have done splitting and maybe is just our judgment of things,
- so in this cases what is really true and how we know that what I thinks truth
- In Catholic Church we know, because Apostles believed same way, worshiped same way and commands us to do same way and they haven’t done any splitting
- I just wanna point to something
- I’m not talking about name of denomination here because Catholic Church is not denomination
- She’s Christ’s Bride, His Body, Devine Marriage, One True Church but even here that name, doesn’t save, so I’m not preaching name here but Faith doctrine worship and only Jesus saves,
- I know that many Catholics just have that title, nothing more, but majority believe same as Apostles because they gave their hearts to Jesus
- Jesus is with others as well, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE WITH HIM, IN JESUS
- He went to get that one sheep that left the flock but for the reason, strong enough, that sheep is still outside, with Christ, but not in Christ, He’s watching He loves that sheep, He’s working oh her, so she can come back to His Flock, to His Church to Noah’s ark, because “flood” is coming and ark is created by God, through men He has chosen, inside of Ark is safe, but “stinks” sometimes, because of us, sinners,
Sometimes, some “sinners”want to eats each other, but majority is calm and in Spirit of God in love and God is in control
He promised that, Gates of Hell, “Flood”, won’t prevail and the way to salvation, to safety, to everlasting new life is narrow and rough but, He gave us an Ark, to protect us from that Flood on our way to salvation

When we have faith we will naturally become good and do good work naturally
@the_BackBurner 0311 I get what you're trying to say, but here on earth ppl can never be good only better, and that happens when ppl become "born again" [John 3:3]. The Bible says: There is none righteous [good], no, not one. Romans 3:10. Only in heaven will people be "good" naturally.
Would that that were true!
@@DanKoning777 God does not make us better, we are sinful, evil in His sight.
No, God puts us to death, we are then raised in new life in Christ.
Ahh..no, Jesus was perfect and addressed being called "Good".. Only The Father on Heaven..☝
Inquisitors during 1600 and Crusader would have something to say to you about their murders.
They had faith, they kill people anyway, and they thought that they were right so maybe they did not even confess it.
Who knows..
We only know that the true church is the Catholic church and that Mary is the Queen of Heaven
Idc if ur Catholic,Protestant,Orthodrox
As long as you love Jesus and follows His words,and believe Him as our Lord and Saviour
You're Christian
Thanks for the simple explanations, which I think are generally very good. However, I think that protestants also generally agree that "faith without works is dead" as after all that's what the Bible clearly teaches. Not sure why you don't make that point.
''Once saved always saved'' is an unfortunate expression of ''walk by faith''
It is my belief that good work is the natural consequence of faith, not a requirement in order to get into Heaven. If getting into Heaven is your goal, then doing good works is just vanity. Our purpose on earth is to love the Lord and our fellow man.
@@helenmorton4155 Agree! No good work will achieve salvation. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away Isaiah 64:6
@@bryanmassa6051 UNTIL we ask and receive Jesus's deletion of our sins and let him be Lord of our lives BY obeying Him. Then God father calls us holy!
To Bryan Massa. I also believe in the New Testament above/before the Old Testament. "He that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." I think it's John 3:16, not sure. I can't quote scripture well.
I have a strong feeling that the presenter is a catholic, though he tries as hard not to be as biased😊
David Ortiz dam calm down dude he just assumed something ಠ_ಠ
@David Ortiz were United once it’s a fact
The number of reactions shows that it's a living item.
You have made OF LITTLE IMPORTANCE THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM, THAT IS SALVATION .Do you believe in believe in Baptist teaching . That is salvation follows belief and repentance, not baptismal regeneration .When were you born again .Was it by Christening, or through the work of the Holy Spirit in conviction.,faith and repentance. Have you been born again?
Excellent and even-handed.
Very rare to find such a presentation that is not
trying to argue for one sides views and not somewhat
distorting the views of the other side in order to be considered to
be more reasonable and sound.
ye shall know the by their fruits (actuall works)........@CASTRATO......
THAT is what makes "Christianity"....UNDEFENDABLE.
Matthew 19;12 ? 1Corinthians 14;34 ? The 2 Verses that Justify ths evil?
If only XP;s would, study that bible.......instead of cherry-picking Confirmation biases.
@esmund Sorry, it was for Mystery Fan. He admits he doesnt study the bible as he should. The main diff is "Celibate" priests. The Catholic practice that is theirs only, was Castrato in the Vatican. #NOT EVEN raised in this video.......so i have, and explained their significance. Mat 19;12(making eunechs)....1 corinth 14;34 (women MUSNT speak).
because these 2 verses are what they use to defend and justify @CASTRATO.
That is not an apology, nor defendable. In fact, it highlights the RCC is SEXIST, and even "Female-aphobic".....and the biblical reason they dont allow women priests. If they cant Talk, they cant SING in the choir, or PREACH from pulpit either.
It also keeps "NO WOMEN ALLOWED" in Vatican.....where they may have witnessed this practice, or seen the deaths the operation causes....or should i say "Mutilation" causes.
This is what being "politically correct means". Just don't ruffle any feathers; Let truth come second.
Correction: Protestants believe there is only one intercessor between man and God and this according to scripture is Jesus Christ, not Mary or the saints as they were needing of forgiveness unlike Christ who is the Son of God. Protestants also believe in Faith without works is dead, that is not a Catholic thing but a bible thing. Catholics simply emphasis this and can do better with its centralized system to achieve great things through their singular strength as protestants are many independent churches after Martin Luther started the reformation for church corruption in particular in unbiblical doctrine. .
Correction: Catholics also believe Jesus is the only way to the Father. The difference is we understand that the Bible instructs us to pray for each other. Mary and the saints dont somehow bypass Jesus as you seem to think we believe. They go to him same as we do. Many protestants do in fact believe 'faith alone' and not with works is where they receive grace. Protestant denominations differ on this belief, many agreeing with Catholic teaching, and many dont. Martin Luther, for example, did not agree and in fact believed there was no such things as free will. Luther believed you were destined for heaven or hell and you had no choice in the matter. Catholics disagree with him and believe strongly in free will, which is why works are important. It seems you agree with this which is great! You're correct that there was church corruption in the time of Luther, just as there have been scandals before, since and likely always will since its run by humans. However you're wrong when you state that it affected doctrine. Catholic doctrine, although often misunderstood, has been flawlessly guided by the Holy Spirit. For example, there were a handful of popes who were terrible people in their personal lives, but never altered doctrine. You're right that protestants are many independent churches. The reason is because once they abandoned the church guided by the Spirit, suddenly doctrine was guided by men and has continued to fracture ever since, currently at more than 45,000 denominations and sub-denominations.
Yeah! Thats why you are called "protestants".
@@cincinnaticobra5477 All R.C.s state the same errors and are not allowed to think for themselves .We ask living people to pray for us ,you are told not to try to contact the dead ,that is what spiritualists do.you get mixed up with faith alone . Your works do not save you ,or why did Christ die . Works are the result of repentance and the new nature ,Faith without works is dead as they are the evidence of regeneration . No Christian I know has any connection to Luther they are not Lutherans . There was widespread corruption because they were not Christians an systematically tried to kill those who were ,burning many at the stake for disagreeing with their doctrine . This is the work of those against Christ not a true church .
Doctrine was guided men in the Roman church ,and outside of it . The true church is not one denomination ..
Leo the 1st was the first who claimed Peters authority and liked to be called Papa. The doctrine is nothing like the teaching of the Apostles as they changed the gospel from faith and repentance ,to baptismal regeneration Gal 1.says any change to the gospel makes it false .You are not saved by joining a church and being Christened.
There are not 40,000 denominations ,I have read the book that came from it counts many cults that are not Christian and even spiritualism .R.C.s all repeat it without checking anything .
amen
@@cincinnaticobra5477 Mary is still in the grave tell Christ comes back, and all the saints! they do not hear your prayers(your church now lets you read the bible so now that they let you see the scripture, read it) never take anybody's word when it comes to your own soul, get the facts so you can apply those facts to the welfare of your soul!
although I'll have to semi-confirm what you say, I'm grateful for this video. Thank you for doing this.
Probably the defining difference which was touched on is expressed in St. John: "I am the way, the truth and the light. No one gets to the father but through me." This has both an abstract and non-abstract reading, the latter meaning that to communicate with God one must go through Jesus who is the sole intermediary between a believer and God. This shuts down the concept of needing a priest or pastor to dial-up God for you -- just call on Jesus in prayer to do it and he will.
As a former Protestant pastor who entered the Catholic Church 20 year ago at age 55 (after much struggle) I've now fallen in love with Christ in the Eucharist. To echo St. Paul words, "...beholding Him we are transformed..." (reference?). Beholding Him and receiving Him at Mass has now transformed me as well. By His grace we are saved, through faith.
Hi! i I am a born protestant and after carefully reading the holy scriptures. My father always tells me the 5 solas for w/c the first one is sola scriptura w/c is "bible alone". Im anxious to ask my parents for they may curse me or something because i really do believe on my faith but with a lot of questions contradicting my fellowship church's doctrine. I ask them what do early christians do( the persecutions of early christians) before the bible was put to writ. how do we identify ourselves back then? My father said" there are traditions where the silently do to practice their faith in Jesus" and the i asked them what is that? They just don't tell it. I asked them why Mary is so special to catholics and then again i got no response. I feel them, maybe they really think im gonna convert to catholicism but in fact i just have a feeble mind. i have sleepless nights, analysing the Words of Our Lord. I really wanted to know more .I Got curious about Mary on especially the catholic faith. I got a lot of questions too , specifically on the intercessors. What really is the part of Mary and saints? Why does she have a special mentioning in the bible. I believe that Jesus is God and He is a real man too. Why did God put Him into Mary first? My mind is contradicting the more i want to learn about the truth. I feel anxious lately and having numerous sleepless night thinking about this. Is Mary the woman clothed with the sun and moon under her feet, and on Her Head crowned with 12 stars depicting on the Rev. 12:1-17? So i asked my father when the revelation comes w/c was prophecied and is going to happen, do we side with the woman? He was angry to me that time and i felt bad. I hope someone answers it. Thank you so much
All mu 16 uncles ans their wife are lukewarm christians.. Menaingthey dint know the bible . . like most protestants i met.

Catholics eat more fish!
And drink more liquor.
Matt, thank you so much for spending the time to create and share a video which respectfully highlights some key differences between those 2 faith systems while maintaining throughout that the peoples of those faiths are far more alike than not. At at time in this world when world leaders and politicians would have us believe there are more differences between our brothers and sisters than similarities, and at a time when an educational video such as yours can engender such nasty, petty comments, none of which I hope you have taken to heart, by those so keen to demonstrate their ‘knowledge’ of differences that divide us all, you are a light, and a beacon my friend. Keep creating, keep sharing, keep loving. Good luck!
I was born to a Catholic mother and a Protestant father, left both those churches and became a Baptist. Down the road I learned that I was reading the Bible all wrong and have become a Messianic Christian who learned to read the Bible through Hebrew eyes. We call Jesus by His Hebrew name, Yeshua.
Catholics believe the lay man is responsible to the church and church leadership, who are responsible to study and explain scripture that is too difficult for lay people to understand. Protestants believe the lay man is directly responsible to God and should study for him or her self.
There was hierarchy in the Jewish system and the Catholic system. But since the veil was torn top to bottom we have direct access to the Father through the Son. No need for a middle man and even the Holy Spirit is involved with prayer.
Hi, I find your presentation quite good, but would like to ad something or adjust a bit, I would like to adjust your numbering of differences since of point 2 follows point 3. I am going to use Lutherans as protestants since in many protestants belief they are the most catholic like, and also those I know most about.
Ad diff point 1
Lutheran also world wide in the body and blood of Christ being more than just a symbol in the bread and vine. They believe after the word of initiation bread and wine becomes the body and blood of Christ but not as physically as Catholics because that would force Christ to attend the mass, and you can not do that. Confessio Augustana (the Lutheran "In what we belive".
Ad diff point 3
Lutherans also believes that you are saved by faith alone, but your faith (if a true one) will force you to do good deeds hence giving credence to a living faith have work, but not as an issue for salvation but as a result of salvation.
And here is the main issue between catholics and protestants.
Since work is a result of salvation not a building block for salvation, work by any person can not be accrued in Lutheran belief.
However a person being deemed a Saint by the Pope, his or hers work are of such a high value by his/her work is deemed sufficient for salvation and sometimes more than enough. This extra goes together with the work of Christ into the box of salvation (as it is of monetary value) for the pope and Catholic church to distribute to the rest of us not being of Saintly calibre. This belief was rejected in Confessio Augustana, and has not been retracted by Rome to this day.
Ad diff point 2
Of this point 3 follows: since saint are deemed to be saved, they are with God (father, son & holy spirit) in heaven(s), and they can thus be asked to intervened for person praying to them. eg. "Dear St. Nicholas can you ask God to give me the nice bike for Christmas" in a childs prayer.
In Lutheran belief not a singel person is just or can make him/her self just in the eyes of God. So all will be judged by God also St. Peter. So praying to another sinner wont do you any good. And Jesus also states anything asked in His name will be given, that is why in Lutheran view you have to pray to God through Jesus and not St. Nicholas since he is long dead and slumber until the day of resurrection in Lutheran view.
So are Catholics not Christians in view of a Lutheran, no far from it. We are brothers and sisters in Christ, along with all protestants and orthodox Christians because we all believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of mankind. All dominions saying yes to the Credos of Athanasius, Apostolicum and Nicaeaum are Christian, we just might differ in opinion of how things works.
Torleiv Aarrestad ...”there is only one name under heaven by which we must be saved”...Acts 4:12. Catholics have added Mary to that as Catholics call her Mediatrix & Advocate. They call her the ark of the new covenant as well. This is not scriptural. Jesus doesn’t need any help in saving people! We are not to add to Scripture, yet Catholics have added countless doctrines contrary to Scripture. Catholics teach a false Jesus & Mary & are not our brothers & sisters in Christ. Pope Francis & his New World Order is leading Catholics straight to hell.
Faith without works is dead, but the reason for that is because faith produces works. Hebrews chapter 11 has some examples of faith producing works. I'm Southern Baptist, and that's what we believe. In fact, in the book of Galatians, it mentions "faith working through love."
Furthermore, Galatians chapter 3 plainly says we receive the Spirit by faith and Galatians 5:22 talks about the Fruit of the Spirit.
Jesse Griffeth totally agree. Plus why would I ask someone else (priest) to pray for me when I have a high priest in the order of Melchesidec (Jesus Christ) to pray for me? I have spoken with many Catholics and many, if you ask them if they are Christian answer “no I’m catholic”. If you ask me that question I do not tell you what denomination or abomination that I hold. The answer will come forth “yes”
@@mystwolfe7791 I am a Christian. I mentioned Southern Baptist to specify which denomination. However, I agree that being a Christian is infinitely more important than what denomination someone identifies with.
Jesse Griffeth oh I know. I was just adding to the conversation. I made no judgement on you my friend. I could tell you are a fellow believer in Christ. God bless.
@Josh I'm not ignoring James and the worthless faith. I'm saying true faith produces works. Works are the fruit effect of true faith. When James refers to dead faith, it's referring to people claiming to have faith but no works to show it. It's speaking of fake faith. In fact, I one time read a footnote that says there's no dichotomy between faith and works.
Also, I pray for other people regularly. I just believe that people should be able to pray directly to God and ask God Himself for forgiveness.
@@JesseGriffeth Then you must conclude that Catholic have great saving faith due to all the Good works that the Church and its members perform. The Catholic Church does not teach that works will save them. Justification is by Grace
12. Today, in this 21st century, nobody can be saved unless by me, prophet Kacou Philippe who is speaking to you. And John 3:16 today is: For God so loved the world, that he gave his beloved prophet, Prophet Kacou Philippe, that whosoever believes in him may not perish, but have eternal Life. The Lord Jesus Christ was a man like me speaking to you today and you cannot pretend that you would have believed in Jesus Christ when He was on earth if you don’t believe in me today. [Ed: The congregation says, "Amen!"].
You are assuming that Christians believe everything their respective churches teach them. Many of us believe in thinking for ourselves, irrespective of our official religion (or political party, for that matter).
@Salnsd ????????
John E greetings. Is that what Christ wants though, a million or billion versions of Christianity? Politics doesn't come into it, that is purely of man. The Church is of God and he can make his will known through it. So many can't or WILL not accept the following because it doesn't comply with their vision or lack thereof: Matt 16 17-19 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” It is simply stated. Peace.
@@MarilynCrosbie I am interpreting -- and enjoying -- Salnsd's comment as satire.
@@allanlindsay8369 So you are saying one version of Christianity has it all figured out, and the members of every other division will rot in hell? Are you further suggesting that one "correct" version is the home of the Spanish Inquisition and other proud history, not to mention today's pedophilia revelations? The JWs would tell you that theirs is the "One True Religion." I honestly do not believe that any person or any church has it all figured out, to the exclusion of everybody else. Furthermore, I do not believe that having multiple branches or sects constitutes a problem in any way. One hub, but many spokes, etc.
@@johne6081 greetings. I am saying nothing of myself, Our Blessed Lord, however, is. Did you read his precious words? If not here is some more: John 17 20-22 "I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them MAY BE ONE, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE . . . ." it is we Christians being as ONE, that the world will believe that God sent Christ. There should be NO denominations, only ONE, led by St. Peter thence the Papal lineage - whether we like it or not that is God's will, but of course humankind relishes division. We are divisive here, even family units themselves are and can be very divisive - all Division is sin! Peace.
I love pentecostal Church
Why? It is God that you are to love, not some version of faith practice dreamt up by a bunch of fractious humans.

Catholic's often wear crucifixes while protestants don't. Why do Catholics? We preach "Christ Crucified"
_23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles_ (1 Cor 1:23)
There are many more differences than what is in this video. I have a list of at least 40 different doctrinal differences between Catholics and protestants.
If you want all the differences outline then this will no longer fit in a 4 minute video presentation.As 500 years is not enough to settle the differences.
Pastor Rick Warren love the phrase of St.Augustine "in similarities unity and in differences charity." Then we can live as one brother peacefully that was the Ecumenism was all about and it extends to other non-Christian faith as well as Abba Father wants Jesus to unite all His creature as One not by perfection of faith but perfection of LOVE., as the greatest of all this is LOVE.but remember its not Whitney Houston but Jesus Christ..just want to make you smile..kidding aside.We are all ONE in Christ Jesus because of the Merciful Love of God..John17:20-22
@Visto che
your Christian faith is definitely way different from Muslim but what is the common ground? Christian and Muslims have One Creator so only One Father.
And what is the desire of God the Father that Jesus thru His Founded Church must accomplish? Read John17:20-22
Would a two hour video be better?
Sorry but..we do NOT read THE SAME Bible. Protestant Bibles are 7 books short. That's no irrelevant diffidence. Certainly not small enough to say...we read the same Bible.
Your number 3 is not correct. In my evangelical church we believe that one is save thru faid and then we still believe that faith without works is dead

@@robertota9341 while this is true, the rebirth is something that occurs between one human and God and it occurs in various ways. The important thing is that is occurs.
You’re very vague on Protestants, there is Protestants that do indeed ask the saints and the Holy Mother for intercession. The Protestants vary in all things that are deemed Catholic! Which is why Protestants have so many breaks offs including the evangelical who deny being protestants, which is what they really are,And or the protestants that consider themselves regular Christian’s, who bypass the fact, out of innocent ignorance, that the regular Christians are the Catholics!
The Protestants believe that The Lord Jesus Christ is The Head of His Church!!!!!!!?
Instruction give by Jesus. "No body shall go to the father but by me". That is our only course of intercession. . Peace be to all who love the Lord.
Christ be with you
Not so.
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Tim 2:1-6)
every body is called to intercede.
God bless you
I’m Protestant but idc what religion you are, I respect everyone 💜
That's a nice thing to say but....how can you respect religions that call your lord and savior a lier? The Bible says that there is one God, Mormons and say there are thousands of gods. Jesus says the hell with fire and torment is a real place. Jehovah's Witnesses say there's no such thing as a burning hell. Jesus claims to be deity, the I am. Muslims say that he was mere man not deity, he did not die on a cross, and he was never Resurrected as he said he would be. Now the Roman Catholic Church says that there is one God but many ways to God. Jesus says there is only one way, through him. They all called Jesus a liar.

@@niamh3631 fair enough : )

@@darryldanzinger9996 who are you talking to and what exactly is a lie?
Did you know that the Catholics changed the 10 commandments? They erased the 2nd one out completely! “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.” Catholicism is a work based religion. Christianity is a faith based relationship with God. You can only confess and repent your sins to Jesus! Not a priest! The bible says that if you are NOT born again, you will die in your sins and you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Being born again does NOT mean baptised as a baby! To believe in Jesus means You got to repent (turn away from your sins) and put your trust in God ultimately believing He is the saviour and not your works! When you believe he is the saviour and trust in Him and have the Holy Spirit, this in turn produces Good works! Good works is the evidence that you have been saved through Jesus.
Even we as protestant believers believe that faith without work is dead! How can you judge a person without knowing their mind

Not an intelligent question.
Matt 7:21-23 seems fairly personal...depart from me ....for I know you not.
I don't judge what you believe in only God will judge us. I know Jesus Christ is my savior and I believe and trust in him.
