We obey not to be saved. Because we are saved, we obey. We are saved by Grace through faith, and good works are evidence of the work that the Holy Spirit has done inside us. Good works are not a tool for salvation; they are the fruit of being born again and given a new heart. (Ephesians 2:8-10; James 2:17-18; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6; Titus 2: 11-14).
Thank you for the video, Ryan. I was raised Catholic, but never understood and I questioned a lot. So I was newborn when I was 19 years old I always want to help my Catholic siblings 🙏🏽
In Indonesia there are also many Christian apologists and teachers who discuss things like this, especially not to attack Catholic brothers. and those who are academic convey a number of facts that are similar to your points, but you explain them coherently, calmly, quickly, accurately and comprehensively. Thank you, and keep preaching the Word. It's a gem of a presentation.
I have been studying apologetics for about a year now...I am born again. I am so happy I found you. The Holy Spirit is working Hard through you sir. I have had questions answered by you that I didnt even know that I had. Thankyou and God Bless You
How can any denomination watch this guy's videos and deem it wrong? Everything he says is based on biblical facts, nothing is left out, and he's speaking from scripture, not from mouth. Everyone needs to stop letting their elders blind them and open their eyes to The Lord.
I am SO glad I was lead to this video. I’ve been having a 2 day long discussion online with Catholics about everything in this video, and as a new-ish believer it’s a little tough for me to go in the defensive on these subjects. The only point that kept being brought up to me was Jesus telling Peter the church being built on the rock. Thank you for this video!
'Voice of Reason' contradicted himself. First he said, all the traditions are based on the Bible. And then later, as if he forgot what he said before, he said that Bible alone is not the source of traditions but that there are other infallible authorities apart from the Bible. Also, they confuse what the Bible says. Salvation is not because of good works. But true faith & grace enables a person's heart to do good works NOT as a reward to self - but just as, say, a son who loves his father does work out of love and does not want to grieve his father - not for the fear of punishment.
I love a Christian who knows the Word, shows evidence of the Word and preaches it. That's why I'm a fan of you and Cliffe Knechtle. I always go with the Word. Why? Because Jesus is the Word ❤ and I always follow Jesus 🙏
I have an absolute certainty that I am forgiven, washed clean by the blood of Christ, and that when I die I will be in Heaven with my Father and I will spend eternity with Him. And nothing else comes close to bringing me that kind of peace and joy. 🙏🏻❤️✝️
Amazing response. I’ve been waiting for this and have been very excited to hear how you reply. You are so calm and collected, truly a great example for all of us. God bless you and your ministry.
Rare steaks don’t have any blood. Raw steaks don’t have any blood. I don’t know why he mentioned steak. The red juice is just cooked proteins to put it simply. I’m glad you corrected that.
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 8 “ ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
You see how easy to refute Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy?? Learn church history and read the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit!! Jesus is sufficient for us. If you're not certain that you'll make it to heaven, then you're doubting God's promises and his work!
Thank you so much. I today was debating in my head whether or not Catholicism is right this helped me a lot. Thank you continue doing the Lord's work PRAISE JESUS
_Unam Sanctam_ said, “We declare, say, define, and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.” You won't find that in the Bible. The Council of Florence’s papal bull, _Cantate Domino,_ says: “The sacrosanct Roman Church, founded by the voice of our Lord and Savior... firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart ‘into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels’ [Matt. 25:41], unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that _only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation,_ and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.” You won't find that in the Bible, either. But CCC #88 says that every Catholic is "irrevocably obliged" to adhere to the official dogmas of the church. The RCC has added requirements for salvation which Jesus and the Apostles never taught or required.
I’ve seen many of your videos and I’m always thoroughly impressed by how calm, reasonable, and thought out your explanations are. The Holy Spirit is truly working in and through you. Also, your reasoning for why Jesus did not convert the wine to blood during the last supper was incredible. I’ve never heard that line of thinking and yet it makes complete sense. Keep doing the Lord’s work, God bless!!
I wish I could triple thumbs up this. Excellent breakdown of Scriptural points. It’s very difficult to share this sort of straightforward truth with Catholic apologists because their terms are so incredibly redefined when it comes to things like salvation and grace. All I can say is: is grace deserved? Or undeserved? Any amount of sacramental service would make it in some way deserved (“you did this so I give you that but only if you did the thing”)- which means we’re no longer actually dealing with grace at all. Grace is not given transactionally, but by the magnanimity of God- all we need to do is relent to it, and we will do our good works after it is obtained, not before.
Awesome job brother recently ran into your channel and watched his full video on you then watched this one... I think this time he may have bit off more than he can chew with you. He's definitely a guy that knows how to muddle the waters of what protestants are saying for his listeners but God has given you wisdom. May God continue to bless and use you
Absolutely amazing video! You unpack the arguments so well and gave easy-to-understand, strongly scripturally based counterarguments. This helps a lot!
Reminds me of the creature that talked to Eve in the garden: “Did God really say….?” Bible: you can have assurance of salvation. Catholics: we can’t have assurances of the promise of salvation unless we do X,Y,Z… Eves sin in part was not adhering to Gods word and considering and trusting in a source that was contradictory to Gods word. We must go to Gods word to know his promises to us. I’m 100% convinced that the ethic of sola scriptura is found as early as Genesis ch 3. Thank you for the video brother, I seek to have this level of patience and understanding for those who I respectfully disagree with. Instant subscribe
Godbless you man I've struggled growing up Catholic reading my Bible and wondering why it always felt wrong nothing about they're extra doctrine in the Bible without spinning and twisting scripture
That was just phenomenal!! You nailed it brother, well done. I do LIVE debates with Roman Catholics and it seems no matter how many times we repeat these simplistic concepts they can’t grasp. Prayers for Holy Spirit to remove the blinders 😢
Bless you Ryan. Praise the Lord for allowing us to be led by the Holy Spirit to your biblical ministry. Faith alone, in Christ alone ✝️🤍 May our Lord guide, strengthen and protect you. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏🏼
Expertly explained. This voice guy has been showing up in my feed lately and I’ve corrected on a couple of them but he’s so entrenched in catholic dogma the mental gymnastics to get to conclusion he gets to is astounding. I’ll pray for clarity and truth be revealed to him. Thank you so much for this. God bless.
Hey Ryan, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do. Because of people like you, I was able to truly understand the Gospel. Don't ever give up, your work is changing lives and The Lord is saving people from spiritual death. Only the truth can set people free. Stay true to the Bible, it's the only authority we have to guide us. May God bless you, brother, in Jesus Christ's mighty name. Amen! See you in heaven if we never have to meet on this earth.
Joh 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me has eternal life." 1Jn 5:13 "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life." The Catholic who does not trust Jesus' solemn promise that "whoever believes in me has eternal life" doubts God, and his soul is in danger. I would love to see the 'voice of reason' guy in heaven, so I hope he comes to true faith in Jesus Christ and stops putting his faith in the Roman Catholic denomination.
Praise God to the highest on this bro. This has to be spread so the vast believers and others may know who Jesus really is and what really is His teachings were exactly. I pray that this will open up doors to bring light to all those deceived by the enemy in roman catholic brethren.
My heart breaks for most catholics who still need to learn the truth. We put our faith in Jesus Christ and what He's done for us, not ANY other human being or entity.
Great video Ryan! Very well said as always. By God's mercy I was delivered from the false teaching of Catholicism and was shown the truth. It is so very clear. Need to pray for VOR and all other Catholics 🙏. God bless you brother
I cant believe VoR is willing to make a 2 hour part 1 of 2 video essay response to this 25 minute video, and still not willing to debate you! That is absolutely bogus!
Excellent and one would think obvious commentary. Well done. I’ve heard voice of reason talk a few times and scratched my head each time. Debate! Please!
THANK YOU for answering and replying to him .....he always is talking about against " protestants" when we followers of Christ should be talking on how to win other people for Christ by being examples and spreading his word
I love both these Christian men! They are my brothers and they themselves are brothers. I hope they both know this. Lord have mercy on us and guide us to your heavenly light. In Jesus name 🙏✝️
Honestly, I’m Catholic but I’m happy we’re having genuine dialogue instead of just stupidly yelling at each other.
We obey not to be saved. Because we are saved, we obey.
We are saved by Grace through faith, and good works are evidence of the work that the Holy Spirit has done inside us.
Good works are not a tool for salvation; they are the fruit of being born again and given a new heart.

Jesus is LORD and he is the ONLY way to Heaven. Not by WORKS.
Amen to that.
You have the proper disposition for this kind of work. Calm, charitable, succinct, well researched. Great work all around.
I know we are all sinners, but how do you never miss Ryan? So thankful for you, and because of you I can certainly say I am going to heaven!
All Glory to God who gives you certainty, Ryan is just putting a stone in your shoe but all Glory and credit should go to God alone..
Wise beyond your years. May God be with you all your life. Amen.
Why is the room hot!!?? Cause Ryan is COOKING

I don’t understand how anyone can argue this , it’s literally purely scriptural exegesis ! :D

They're not our brothers and sisters in Christ
Thanks!
No problem! Thank you for your kind support Ricardo
What’s wild is I watched this guy and just felt like something was wrong. Weeks later I see this. GG’s
Nice work Ryan, always a pleasure serving with you. I pray all Catholics watching this seek the truth in what the Bible teaches, not their Catechisms…
hey...what are you doing here..lol
amen Paul!
Always learning something new watching you! Keep going brother ✝️
Get it Ryan!!! Speak the Truth:) God Be With You All! 🙏❤️✝️

This shows the difference between getting your information from the bible as opposed to a tradition.
What an accurate yet loving rebuke! I learned a lot and was strengthened in faith

You are the most patient person alive, a true shining example of the Lords Grace. Keep setting the bar high for us. 🤝🏻🙏🏻
a debate between you and him would be amazing literally.

I was waiting for this response !!!!
Even I was waiting for it and I work with him...
Godbless you man I've struggled growing up Catholic reading my Bible and wondering why it always felt wrong nothing about they're extra doctrine in the Bible without spinning and twisting scripture
I was becoming catholic then heard voice of reason talk and became a protestant
This is the perfect response. God bless you Ryan and everyone who's reading this! :)
God bless Ryan, for God gave him the wisdom to defend his claim ❤🎉
Bro... 👏👏👏 you completely disassembled his refutation...With nothing but The Word and The Spirit of The Living God
Our good works are only to say thank you to God for all the work He has already done for us that are the elect on the Cross.
So that no man may boast…
I really hope he humbles himself and realizes he's wrong
I’ve pretty big into apologetics and I’ve never heard the old testiment blood argument that was really strong. Great video
That 1 Timothy 4 verse absolutely blew my mind. I've never heard that one. I've learned so many amazing verses in just this one video.
That was just phenomenal!! You nailed it brother, well done. I do LIVE debates with Roman Catholics and it seems no matter how many times we repeat these simplistic concepts they can’t grasp. Prayers for Holy Spirit to remove the blinders 😢
Bless you Ryan. Praise the Lord for allowing us to be led by the Holy Spirit to your biblical ministry. Faith alone, in Christ alone ✝️🤍 May our Lord guide, strengthen and protect you. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏🏼
Mic drop after mic drop after mic drop

In Galatians paul rebukes Catholics if anything, not Christians
First one here to say that Jesus loves you
I never hear Catholics quoting scripture with supporting scripture. It’s ALWAYS one verse ripped from its context.
I appreciate that you always stick firm to what the bible states! Thats why i stick around 🙂
Reason got cooked.
I was waiting all day for this video thanks for posting it and hopefully the man your talking about comes to faith in Christ alone.
Ya ate and left no crumbs dawg 👏🏽 hallelujah
Wonderful speaker and explains Gods Word so calmly it showcases a humble and knowledgeable person who teaches scriptures according to Gods Word.
thank you for reacting to this video
Great greaaaat video my guy 🫵💪🫡
Excellent job at breaking it all down clear & concise! Love it
Brother, you have truly helped to strengthen my faith. Thank you.
Now this is gold. Spread the word of God far and wide
Loved this, so helpful . I may have to watch it again . Thank you Ryan!❤

This was the best explanation of why the wine of the Lord’s supper isn’t literal blood I’ve ever heard.
AMEN brother! Great informative video needed in today's climate of RCC and Orthodox craziness to share the truth by Scripture and the Lord's Spirit.
Praise God to the highest on this bro. This has to be spread so the vast believers and others may know who Jesus really is and what really is His teachings were exactly. I pray that this will open up doors to bring light to all those deceived by the enemy in roman catholic brethren.

I **love** this channel!!!
Men like Ryan here really show that peace that surpasses understanding.
Any time I see a video of him, it helps calm me down so much.
Excellent and one would think obvious commentary. Well done. I’ve heard voice of reason talk a few times and scratched my head each time. Debate! Please!
Just Excellent!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

THANK YOU for answering and replying to him .....he always is talking about against " protestants" when we followers of Christ should be talking on how to win other people for Christ by being examples and spreading his word
Very eloquent and to the point, no claims made without sources, this was top notch
AMEN DUDE! Never stop preaching as long as you breathe air my friend. You are saving so many people by explaining God's words to us all.
I love both these Christian men! They are my brothers and they themselves are brothers. I hope they both know this.
Lord have mercy on us and guide us to your heavenly light. In Jesus name 🙏✝️
Voice of Reason is not a Christian, so therefore, he is not a brother in Christ
Amen Ryan. The Gospel doesn’t require obedience, it produces it.
God bless you for making this video! God's word is enough, Jesus is enough!
AMEN!!
I hope voice of reason surrenders himself to truth in Christ alone. We should pray for the brother.!
Hallelujah and amen! Good job young man on teaching the truth to those in need. All glory be to almighty God 🙏! Be ready y'all, the KING IS COMING!
Catholics take it a step further and say it’s a sin to claim you’re saved. It’s called the sin of presumption.
Check it with the Bible yo!
Check it with the Bible yo, I like that.
Well done Ryan and God bless you! ❤
The point you made at 18:00 had me laughing! Such a good point I hadn't thought about before.
Awesome explanation ❤
Excellent job brother,ye will know the truth and the truth will set you free
Someone get this guy a chefs hat cause he’s cooking
God bless you!❤🙏🏼
I love your approach. It separates you from a lot of apologists that focus on polemics and outwitting one another
