A useful thought experiment: You are a 1st century gentile convert to Christianity. Not one word of the NT has been written yet. Preachers arrive in your city and, by appealing to Scripture, tell you that you must be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses to be saved. Messangers from the Apostles arrive, saying that a council was held in Jerusalem, and it was determined that circumcision and the Law of Moses are not obligatory. What are you going to believe? The "Scripture alone" or the Apostles?
Not only that but as the saying goes, a picture's worth a thousand words. An image of Mary coddling the infant Jesus would have had a profound impact on a gentile convert.
_'What are you going to believe? The 'Scripture alone' or the Apostles?'_ -- *False Dichotomy Logical Fallacy* -- the OT was already there and the apostles did follow Scripture. therefore, to pretend the Scriptures took a back seat to anything is erroneous.
@@Malachor8091 I also pray that those with whom he has concerns enter into dialogue with him. The Church tends to find its grounding and footing in the middle not at either extreme.
@@Malachor8091 Vatican II is not invalid. And unfortunately Francis IS the Pope. And Francis is trying to eliminate my Diocese (Stubenville) which is the only Diocese without a Bishop.
The fact that we don't have original copies of any books of the Bible points to the idea that God never wanted to be constrained to a collection of books. Rather, He left a Church and a Magisterium led by the Holy Spirit that would lead us to all truth. He never said we would have all truth all at once nor did God say He would write everything down.
@@tony1685Yes the Roman Catholic Church is his Church without a doubt. 2000 years of history teaching and defending the truth against countless heresies, schisms and attacks both from within and from outside it. Only a divinely led Church would be able to stick to the truth and get to the truth eventually. Nothing else even comes close.
@@gregnorthway3814 you stated - '...defending the truth...' -- if Truth = His Ten Commandments -- Psalm 119:142, 151 and catholicism teaches contrary Exodus 20:8-11 -- isn't it logical that this is not His church, but antichrist?
more proof -- John 14:15 -- states which? a) 'If you love Me, change My Commandments.' ? b) 'If you love Me, ignore My Commandments.' ? c) 'If you love Me, keep My Commandments.' ? now see Ex 20:4-6 and 8-11 catholicism chooses a and b -- Christians choose c catholicism is clearly not His church, Sir.
@@tony1685Do you believe Jesus when He said the gates of hell would NOT prevail against His Church? One Church, One Body, One Bride. Or do you think Jesus is a polygamist???
We are literally quoting The Holy Bible when we say "Tenete Traditiones". Unlike those who say sola scriptura or sola fide. All thanks and praise be to God.

"The Father, the Son, and the Holy Sport are three Persons in one God." Not so. The Father is "the only true God." (John 17:1, 3) Jesus is the Son of God. (John 20:31) The holy spirit is "a divine energy or power."
@@cbooth151Christ is God the Son. He is fully God, begotten, not created. Therefore fully God, not created, not made, but yet is the Son of the Father; not the same way a son on earth is the son of his father. The Trinity is dogma. Denying the Trinity is heresy and is blatantly anti-Christian.
@@cbooth151 one essence of God in three separate persons, always in unity with one another. The Trinity is in the Nicene Creed. If you deny the Nicene Creed, you do not hold to the Christian faith.
Protestantism has difficulty with this as they have a problem with thinking rationally as they have a FAITH ALONE view v the Catholic BOTH/AND view ie Faith & Reason!
@@tony1685 The very acts of the apostles stands, regardless if they were ever written. The Word is Christ and his authority is equally binding if written, spoken, delegated or provided by tradition.

A recipe for confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects which is not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23.

In regard to, "Don't go beyond what is written," this could also be a use of "written" in the way Jesus sometime used it, which was in a metaphysical sense - in reference to the things which God intended from time eternal.

3:20 Actually, "blessed among women" nails sinlessness, so Immaculate Conception. There is no other candidate than Satan for being _Her_ Sisera or Holophernes, and the repetition by Elizabeth with the addition that echoes Genesis 3:15 clinches that. And there is no other way for a mortal person to inflict a mortal headwound on Satan than by not sinning.
“Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.” Malachi 3:16-18 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8-9 “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:8-9 “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: and profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.” Galatians 1:6-14
Catholics don't follow "traditions of men," but DIVINE TRADITION. Protestant dogma is religious and scriptural relativism, repeating the sin of Eve: deciding for oneself what's right and wrong, true and false, good and evil. Protestants mistakenly assume Scripture is a comprehensive "do -it - yourself" manual for Christianity. The Bible NEVER says and Jesus NEVER said "ALL true instruction to lead to eternal life is to be found in Holy Scripture." Where does the Bible say this? What New Testament Bible did Peter preach from on the first Pentecost Sunday? The first Gospel, Matthew's, would not be written for 15 years, and the last book would not be written for almost 70 years. Yet St. Stephen and countless others were martyred for the Faith BEFORE the New Testament was written down. They believed, lived and died for the ORAL New Testament, also known as "Divine Tradition." DIVINE TRADITION IS THE ORAL WORD OF GOD JESUS TAUGHT HIS APOSTLES. IT'S NOT LESS THAN THE BIBLE. BOTH MAKE UP THE "DEPOSIT OF FAITH." PROTESTANTS THREW AWAY JESUS'S ORAL DIVINE TRADITION SO THEY *DO NOT HAVE THE FULL GOSPEL* Deuteronomy 4:2 says: "You shall not add to the word of God, ... nor take away from it. " Protestants didn't just throw away Divine oral Tradition but also threw 7 books out of their Bibles. Matthew 4:4 says, "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God." Protestants don't have EVERY WORD, only PART of the written Word, none of the Oral Word. Remember, we're NOT Jews. The Holy Spirit guides the Church hierarchy, not the rabbis. Jesus and His Apostles used and quoted the Septuagint Bible. Protestants use the rabbis' shorter Masoretic text that DID NOT EXIST until almost 100 years AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven. Remember what Jesus said *TO HIS APOSTLES* in John 16:12,13: "I HAVE MANY MORE THINGS TO SAY TO YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW. BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH...." Truth NOT written in the Bible. The Catholic Church guards Jesus's oral teaching -- called, not tradition of men, but *Divine Tradition* -- which Jesus taught His Apostles, and which the Bible tells us to keep, in 2Thessalonians2:15, 1Corinthians11:2, 2Timothy1:13, 2Timothy2:2 and Titus1:9. Protestants threw away Jesus's oral teaching, violating: Deuteronomy 4:2, "You shall not add to the word.of God ... nor take away from it," Psalm 118:160 says, "The *SUM* of Thy Word is Truth" and Matthew 4:4 "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God. Oral Word of God (Divine Tradition) + Written Word of God (Holy Scripture) = Full Gospel Truth Holy DIVINE Traditions guarded by the Catholic Church are: the 7 Sacraments, especially the various rituals of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the correct interpretation of Scripture, especially teachings on Mary's sinlessness, on the intecession of the saints and on Purgatory, use of holy water, relics, blessings, and other sacramentals. These make up the Full Gospel. Only the Catholic Church HAS the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus may say to protestants who DENY His oral Word of God, "Depart from Me. I never knew you."
17:52 According to Tradition, "imperium romanum" which I take to mean the dignity of Roman Emperor. Just after Nicolas II and Charles I left power, Lenin, a close precursor of Antichrist, got power.
19:47 To me too. You have done an excellent job of refuting sola scriptura. Would you agree, if sth in Biblical history is apparently a plain reading and has also been taught by tradition (YEC, Geocentrism) just because there is a recent so to speak licence to interpret it otherwise, from the magisterium, does not make this licence trump the previous weight for the traditional doctrine, especially if further investigation shows the modern doctrine will logically involve things in conflict with traditional doctrine and _not_ covered by the licence or appearance of such. E g the decision of 1820 does not explicitly allow for saying "the furthest stars are 13.8 billion light years away" and the decision of 1909 does not explicitly allow for extending Genesis 5 and 11 so that Adam lived 50 000 or 100 000 or 500 000 or 1 750 000 years ago, hence, should these positions come to be implied by Heliocentrism or Old Earth, the licences from 1820 and 1909 are no good argument against a full return to traditional doctrine?
“Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” Romans 9:20-21 “Then said I, Lo, I come: In the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:7-8 “Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) To do thy will, O God.” Hebrews 10:7 “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:16-19 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. THE END” Revelation 22:18-21
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 “For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13:9-14 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:44-48 “And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: for all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.” Mark 12 38-44 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” James 1:5-6 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:” 1 Corinthians 1:30 “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.” James 3:16-18 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16 “Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.” Ephesians 1:15-23 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 “And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.” Luke 8:10-11 “Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.” 1 Peter 1:22-25 “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” John 17:14-19 “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalm 138:2 “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5
Great video. Sola scriptura makes the word of God into the word of men. Jesus gave the authority to interpret scripture to Peter then the other Apostles then to their successors. Jesus made no such promise to the protestants because they lack apostolic succession. As St. Jerome put it, in his comments on the Epistle to the Galatians (speaking against the Luciferians) "Let us be persuaded that the gospel consists not in the words but in the sense. A wrong explanation turns the Word of God into the word of man, and, what is worse, into the word of the devil; for the devil himself could quote the text of Scripture; " and he did so when he tempted our Lord in the desert. (Matt. 4. 6.
Satan did misquote Gods Word from the beginning.. Always taking it out of context or to diminish God and HIS Word “Then said I, Lo, I come (In the volume of the book it is written of me,) To do thy will, O God.” Hebrews 10:7 “Then said I, Lo, I come: In the volume of the book it is written of me,” Psalm 40:7 “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:” John 15:26
How was Gods word delivered Was it spoken by HIM and he compelled it to be written ? Is HE not able To DO that simple of a thing and yet be Able To create the world and all That is in it? Do you not believe God has the power to do as he will in his own creation and have a Book put together of HIS word? “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” Acts 17:24-31 “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31 If he also being outside of time and a prophet he sends his earthly mother to his youngest and Longest living disciple to have care and comfort.. “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.” 1 John 3:16-18, 23-24 “And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” Mark 3:33-35 “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:9-15, 20-23 “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:25-31 “Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Romans 9:19-23 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.” Isaiah 58:6-11 “Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.” Ecclesiastes 7:13-14 “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?” Isaiah 43:10-13 “Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: But now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent In dust and ashes.” Job 42:1-6 “And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.” Luke 18:19
As a protestant I'd say, sola scriptura means - everything you need for the kingdom is found in the Scripture. Everything should be consistent with Scripture and is often found grounded in the Scriptures. Sola Scriptura does not preclude the authority of tradition or even culture at all. If Sola Scriptura is said to mean this, this is false. Also, brothers, anyone who says something cannot be true because of a mix of wise interpreters and false interpreters (people who do not agree) is dangerous when they say this
Without authority you have no idea if you are preaching a false gospel and you don't have traditions that trace back to the Apostles whom have the authority to tell you so. The founder of the SDA and Jehovah's Witnesses believed in scripture alone and "put it to the test" yet they have erroneous beliefs.

@@tony1685 You just proved my point. There are other founders who have read the same exact scriptures, yet they have different interpretations then you guys do lol. You should study authority first THEN scriptures. Otherwise you are going to follow a false gospel, like you are being and SDA
The Bereans understood that scripture could not be set aside, like Jesus said it couldn't, so they tested Paul's works to see if they were true. Scripture is the measuring stick 11:24
Scripture is A measuring stick, but we also have Tradition. St Paul explicitly commanded that we remember both what was taught by word of mouth or letter. St Paul instructed Timothy to teach other men what he heard from Paul, so those men could teach others also.
@@joelpenley9791 if what is being called tradition goes against the written word then it is not true tradition. The two should work together like a well functioning machine. If the tradition does not go against the written word of God but instead harmonizes with it then it is true tradition.
John 1:1 King James Version 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ( vs14) and the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus Christ formed the universe and all creatures and everything we see he created. Jesus defeated Satan with his own words, it is written, it is written, it is written. Jesus is the alpha and the omega, His book is God breathe,his inspired words. That sounds like exactly everything we need for inspiration and instructions for righteousness.. His words stands alone as final truth. Take it or leave it.
Protestant dogma is religious and scriptural relativism, repeating the sin of Eve: deciding for oneself what's right and wrong, true and false, good and evil. Protestants mistakenly assume Scripture is a comprehensive "do -it - yourself" manual for Christianity. The Bible NEVER says and Jesus NEVER said "ALL true instruction to lead to eternal life is to be found in Holy Scripture." Where does the Bible say this? What New Testament Bible did Peter preach from on the first Pentecost Sunday? The first Gospel, Matthew's, would not be written for 15 years after Jesus ascended into Heaven, and the last book would not be written for almost 70 years. Yet St. Stephen and countless others were martyred for the Faith BEFORE any of the New Testament was written down. They believed, lived and died for the ORAL New Testament, also known as "Divine Tradition." DIVINE TRADITION IS THE ORAL WORD OF GOD JESUS TAUGHT HIS APOSTLES. IT'S NOT LESS THAN THE BIBLE. BOTH MAKE UP THE "DEPOSIT OF FAITH." PROTESTANTS THREW AWAY JESUS'S ORAL DIVINE TRADITION SO THEY *DO NOT HAVE THE FULL GOSPEL* Deuteronomy 4:2 says: "You shall not add to the word of God, ... nor take away from it. " Protestants didn't just throw away Divine oral Tradition but also threw 7 books out of their Bibles. Matthew 4:4 says, "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God." Protestants don't have EVERY WORD, only PART of the written Word, none of the Oral Word. Remember, we're NOT Jews. The Holy Spirit guides the Church hierarchy, not the rabbis. Jesus and His Apostles used and quoted the Septuagint Bible. Protestants use the rabbis' shorter Masoretic text that DID NOT EXIST until almost 100 years AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven. Remember what Jesus said *TO HIS APOSTLES* in John 16:12,13: "I HAVE MANY MORE THINGS TO SAY TO YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW. BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH...." Truth NOT written in the Bible. The Catholic Church guards Jesus's oral teaching -- called, not tradition of men, but *Divine Tradition* -- which Jesus taught His Apostles, and which the Bible tells us to keep, in 2Thessalonians2:15, 1Corinthians11:2, 2Timothy1:13, 2Timothy2:2 and Titus1:9. Protestants threw away Jesus's oral teaching, violating: Deuteronomy 4:2, "You shall not add to the word.of God ... nor take away from it," Psalm 118:160 says, "The *SUM* of Thy Word is Truth" and Matthew 4:4 "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God. Oral Word of God (Divine Tradition) + Written Word of God (Holy Scripture) = Full Gospel Truth Holy DIVINE Traditions guarded by the Catholic Church are: the 7 Sacraments, especially the various rituals of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the correct interpretation of Scripture, especially teachings on Mary's sinlessness, on the intecession of the saints and on Purgatory, use of holy water, relics, blessings, and other sacramentals. These make up the Full Gospel. Only the Catholic Church HAS the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus may say to protestants who DENY His oral Word of God, "Depart from Me. I never knew you."
Scripture alone does not allow one to come up with more names for Mary. For instance Mother of God title, tacitly implies that God was an orphan for over 464 years and not so clever as He didn't know who His mother is. Gate of heaven, east or west. John 10 :9 I(Jesus) am the Gate. The Bible that was codified by the Catholic refutes all these names. As a result of men deciding to sit around tables and discuss new names and doctrines of Mary instead of sending missionaries out to preach the word, after 382ad. We have thousands of doctrines but hundreds of missionaries. 🙏🙏🙏 Go ye into all the nations and preach the gospel
Unless you understand Catholicism which includes Sacred Scripture, you will never understand Mary. If you deny that she is the Mother of God you effectively deny His divinity, the heresy of Nestorianism which is the reason why the CC proclaimed the dogma, long before Protestantism existed, to defend His divinity

Nope! Your Bible understanding is out of context. Paul states follow the traditions from “ us” not a religious organization. ( Church Fathers not all were in discussion and disagreements with each other) John 20 Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on the apostles and said to retain and remit sins. Luke 24 ( same event) Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on the apostles and them that were with them. 2Cor. 2:6-10 This person ( Paul) was not even saved when Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on them and he also was able to forgive remit and retain sins. All believers are called saints and have that authority.
Not only were they not all in agreement with each other, they were not in agreement with the 27 books of the canon. Thats why we dont rely on only a few or the ones we want as “the church”.

The Catholic Church is opposed to "sola scriptura" is so it can make up its own unscriptural beliefs and still claim to be following Jesus' teachings.

Mary was immaculately conceived? 4. inanimate objects such as statues and relics can be worshiped? 5. unmarried priests must be bound to celibacy? 6. Mary can be worshiped? 7. Peter was a pope? 8. Mary was the mother of God? 9. Mary can be prayed to? 10. unmarried priests are required to take a vow of celibacy? Clearly, the Catholic Church is anti-Christian.
Point of correction. The Catholic Church never taught that Mary should be worshipped as a divine being because the Catholic Church does NOT believe that she is equal to God
@@jerome2642 "The Catholic Church never taught that Mary should be worshipped as a divine being because the Catholic Church does NOT believe that she is equal to God." The Catholic Church believes in a lot of wrong things, and paying worship to Mary is one of those things. As the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "As the Blessed Virgin has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints, the *worship* paid to her is called hyperdulia." It should be obvious that the Bible does not teach that Mary should be worshiped. But, if "sola scriptura" is wrong, then, in what non-Biblical document does it say that Mary can be worshiped?
@@cbooth151 The "Worship" which that passage from the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about is the same kind of "Worship" that Abraham gave to the people of the land of the Hittites when the Bible said: "And Abraham bowed down before the people..." (Genesis 23:12). That expression "bowed down" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah" which is also translated as "Worship" in English language. (Everywhere you find the word "worship" in the old testament, it is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah")
@@jerome2642 You said that "bowed down" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah" which is also translated as "Worship" in the English language."What you said is true. However, you're not telling the whole story. "Shachah" has more than one meaning. It can translated as "worship" or "to bow," depending on the context. For instance, at Gen. 23:7, it says that Abraham "bowed" to the pagan Hittites. In this situation, Abraham was physically bowing or stooping down to the Hittites as a gesture of respect. However, in the previous chapter, Abraham told his servants that he and Isaac "are going over there; we shall worship and then come back to you." (Gen. 22:5) In this case, it is clear that Abraham going to a mountain to worship God along with his son. In both verse, the word "shachah" was used. "The "Worship" which that passage from the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about is the same kind of "Worship" that Abraham gave to the people of the land of the Hittites." That is simply not true. The Catholic Church made up a non-Biblical term for the worship of Mary. That word is "hyperdulia." As the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "As the Blessed Virgin has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints, the *worship* paid to her is called hyperdulia." But, where in the Bible did Jesus tell his followers to worship Mary? NOWHERE!! At John 4:23, Jesus said: "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him." So, the only way to be a true worshiper is to worship Jesus' Father, whose personal name is Yahweh or Jehovah, not a trinity. (Ex. 3:15)
@@cbooth151 Exactly. "Shachah" has more than one meaning. But as we have seen, "Shachah" is translated as "Worship" in English. That means that the English word "Worship" actually has MORE THAN one meaning. (It makes no sense to admit that a particular Hebrew word has MULTIPLE meanings while at the same time saying that the English translation of that same Hebrews word has ONLY ONE meaning). By admitting that "Shachah" has more than one meaning, you are essentially admitting that English translations of "Shachah" ("worship" or "bow down') also has multiple meanings. It is therefore false to claim that "Worship" (or "bow down") can ONLY mean "recognizing and acknowledging a person or thing as a divine being or a god". This is just one FORM of ''worship" (the highest form of worship) but there are other lesser forms of worship eg honouring or respecting someone (it is this form of "worship" that Abraham showed to the Hittites in Genesis 23:12). And it is this same kind of worship that the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about There is no need to bring John 4:23 into this discussion because in that verse Jesus talks about the Worship given to God which is the highest form of worship. The Catholic Church never taught that Mary deserves the highest form of worship or the kind of worship meant for God alone. The absence of the word "Hyperdulia" in the Bible doesn't make it inappropriate for use in Christian vocabulary because there are many words that christians use that are not explicitly written in the Bible eg "seminary", "theology", "Bible", etc
Scripture DOES NOT say that Christ built a ROMAN catholic church. Rome does. Scripture DOES NOT say that the church gave the bible. Rome does. PETER does not say that the church gave the bible. PETER mind you. Peter did not say the church has sole authority to interpret scripture. Rome does. Peter does not say pray the rosary, pray to Mary and that the way to Jesus is to Mary. On and on. Scripture, the bible " THIS BOOK. Does not mean revelation only because Deuteronomy and proverbs say the same thing. And what did the apostle Paul mean by "another gospel." I just love the way you the way you twist the hell out of scriptures. So what you're saying is Sola Scriptura is not EXPLICITLY taught in scripture. Ok, so show me where the rosary, prayer to Mary, the papacy, immaculate conception, perpetual virginity are EXPLICITLY taught in the bible . EXPLICITLY!!! Yes, and 2 thess 2:15 says STAND FAST and HOLD the traditions you HAVE BEEN taught. Paul also said to KEEP the traditions AS I DELIVERED THEM UNTO YOU. So if you keep, stand fast and hold, why does the church keep adding traditions? How can sacred tradition be equal to scripture if scripture EXPLICITLY says not to add to it? Scripture EXPLICITLY says "if they speak not according to THIS word, it is because there is no light in them." So spin the "this word" for me. Put the Catholic spin on that. Finally , if Sola Scriptura is wrong why did the church use the BIBLE ALONE to say that sacred tradition is equal to it. Why not the Koran, the book of Mormon or any other book. Was sacred scripture THE ONLY book out there that could give your sacred tradition credibility and believability? Apparently so or when your church said "equal to sacred scripture' did it mean a certain part of the scripture or all of it? So as your apologist, Tim staples said that sola Scriptura is a man made tradition. Ok, let me get this straight. YOUR one true church used a book, doctrine of bible alone that is a false doctrine, and a man made tradition to say sacred tradition is EQUAL to scripture? Think about that? So the church unwittingly, in trying to disprove sola scriptura, has actually confirmed it. Otherwise your church should have used any other book or "sacred writing? Last question. Where does scripture say Jesus left ONE man in charge of THE CHURCH?" What did Christ say before he ascended? That he would pray to the Father who would send a man?
Video explains why Catholics do not go by scripture alone. Dude proceeds to ask to be shown in the Bible what justify catholic teachings on... You do not understand the assignment, i guess.
What trash from an ignorant biased Protestant who has sipped on the Propaganda. Educate yourself by reading the early fathers! Protestants miss the point that Jesus didn’t leave us the bible, He gave us His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15, having authority over the bible which she codified What did Christians do for the first 1500 yrs of Christianity until the bible was mass printed & even then, most people were illiterate until recent centuries. So for 90% of church history, people heard the bible read at Holy Mass & relied on Sacred Scripture which was handed down from the time of Jesus, St Paul 2 Thes 2:15. Don’t forget that not everything is in the bible Jn 21:25. All Sacred Tradition is not written in down in Sacred Scripture Protestants have an incomplete bible & lack of understanding of the Deposit of Faith & the unifying authoritative interpreter role of the Magisterium. No entity from family to corporates & govt can function properly without hierarchy & authority. The lack of these qualities explains the confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects that are not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23. It is illogical to claim that personal interpretation is guided by the Holy Spirit if there is more than one Protestant “church” ie Lutheran.
By asking where in the Bible does it EXPLICITLY say this or that, you demonstrate you didn't understand the video. The whole point is that catholics do NOT believe that the entire faith is contained in the Bible. For example, the instructions for baptism are not clear in Scripture, yet we know how to baptise, because we have apostolic succession; ie, we do what was handed down to us in an unbroken line from the apostles. God bless +++
@@christopherfleming7505 no, he's trying to point it that the bible doesn't teach this or that that it his point. If scripture doesn't explicitly teach it. Or that it doesn't have to explicitly say it (same thing,l word ply as usual. As many of you say "scripture doesn't clearly or explicitly teach Sola Scriptura." Well, the same standard should apply to your teachings. But then the argument is Jesus said many things that aren't recorded in scripture. Like that gives the church authority to just say we can establish MORE oral tradition. He even quoted Paul when he clearly says KEEP the traditions AS I DELIVERED THEM unto you. DELIVERED not will deliver. And he said STAND FAST and HOLD the traditions you have been taught or were taught. Does STAND FAST Nd HOLD really need explaining? And hpaul said HAVE BEEN not will be taught. Does he or you not understand past tense? How in any shape, way or form give the church or anybody authority to just keep adding traditions as your church willingly does? The key is that traditions in Paul's day did not clash with scripture. Do the traditions of Catholicism agree with scripture? That should be a resounding NO. That is why both Jesus and Paul did not agree with traditions. You know that 11 of the 13 mentions of scripture are in a negative sense? Primarily because Jesus said they make the word of God of no effect. So if the argument is Sola Scriptura is not RXPLICITLY taught then you should be held to the same standard. But it's always "we are ok with ours, you are not." He's trying to justify the traditions of the church. Like Tim Staples does while saying Sola Scriptura is a man mAde tradition.

A useful thought experiment:
You are a 1st century gentile convert to Christianity. Not one word of the NT has been written yet. Preachers arrive in your city and, by appealing to Scripture, tell you that you must be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses to be saved. Messangers from the Apostles arrive, saying that a council was held in Jerusalem, and it was determined that circumcision and the Law of Moses are not obligatory.
What are you going to believe?
The "Scripture alone" or the Apostles?
Not only that but as the saying goes, a picture's worth a thousand words. An image of Mary coddling the infant Jesus would have had a profound impact on a gentile convert.
I would believe the Apostle... out of urge to defend my private parts..
_'What are you going to believe? The 'Scripture alone' or the Apostles?'_ -- *False Dichotomy Logical Fallacy* -- the OT was already there and the apostles did follow Scripture. therefore, to pretend the Scriptures took a back seat to anything is erroneous.

The fact that we don't have original copies of any books of the Bible points to the idea that God never wanted to be constrained to a collection of books. Rather, He left a Church and a Magisterium led by the Holy Spirit that would lead us to all truth. He never said we would have all truth all at once nor did God say He would write everything down.

In regard to, "Don't go beyond what is written," this could also be a use of "written" in the way Jesus sometime used it, which was in a metaphysical sense - in reference to the things which God intended from time eternal.

Galatians 1:6-14
Catholics don't follow "traditions of men," but DIVINE TRADITION.
Protestant dogma is religious and scriptural relativism, repeating the sin of Eve: deciding for oneself what's right and wrong, true and false, good and evil.
Protestants mistakenly assume Scripture is a comprehensive "do -it - yourself" manual for Christianity.
The Bible NEVER says and Jesus NEVER said "ALL true instruction to lead to eternal life is to be found in Holy Scripture." Where does the Bible say this?
What New Testament Bible did Peter preach from on the first Pentecost Sunday?
The first Gospel, Matthew's, would not be written for 15 years, and the last book would not be written for almost 70 years. Yet St. Stephen and countless others were martyred for the Faith BEFORE the New Testament was written down. They believed, lived and died for the ORAL New Testament, also known as "Divine Tradition."
DIVINE TRADITION IS THE ORAL WORD OF GOD JESUS TAUGHT HIS APOSTLES. IT'S NOT LESS THAN THE BIBLE. BOTH MAKE UP THE "DEPOSIT OF FAITH." PROTESTANTS THREW AWAY JESUS'S ORAL DIVINE TRADITION SO THEY *DO NOT HAVE THE FULL GOSPEL*
Deuteronomy 4:2 says: "You shall not add to the word of God, ... nor take away from it. " Protestants didn't just throw away Divine oral Tradition but also threw 7 books out of their Bibles.
Matthew 4:4 says, "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God." Protestants don't have EVERY WORD, only PART of the written Word, none of the Oral Word.
Remember, we're NOT Jews. The Holy Spirit guides the Church hierarchy, not the rabbis.
Jesus and His Apostles used and quoted the Septuagint Bible. Protestants use the rabbis' shorter Masoretic text that DID NOT EXIST until almost 100 years AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven.
Remember what Jesus said *TO HIS APOSTLES* in John 16:12,13: "I HAVE MANY MORE THINGS TO SAY TO YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW. BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH...."
Truth NOT written in the Bible.
The Catholic Church guards Jesus's oral teaching -- called, not tradition of men, but *Divine Tradition* -- which Jesus taught His Apostles, and which the Bible tells us to keep, in 2Thessalonians2:15, 1Corinthians11:2,
2Timothy1:13,
2Timothy2:2
and Titus1:9.
Protestants threw away Jesus's oral teaching, violating: Deuteronomy 4:2, "You shall not add to the word.of God ... nor take away from it,"
Psalm 118:160 says, "The *SUM* of Thy Word is Truth" and Matthew 4:4 "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God.
Oral Word of God (Divine Tradition) + Written Word of God (Holy Scripture) = Full Gospel Truth
Holy DIVINE Traditions guarded by the Catholic Church are: the 7 Sacraments, especially the various rituals of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the correct interpretation of Scripture, especially teachings on Mary's sinlessness, on the intecession of the saints and on Purgatory, use of holy water, relics, blessings, and other sacramentals.
These make up the Full Gospel. Only the Catholic Church HAS the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus may say to protestants who DENY His oral Word of God, "Depart from Me. I never knew you."

You have done an excellent job of refuting sola scriptura.
Would you agree, if sth in Biblical history is apparently a plain reading and has also been taught by tradition (YEC, Geocentrism) just because there is a recent so to speak licence to interpret it otherwise, from the magisterium, does not make this licence trump the previous weight for the traditional doctrine, especially if further investigation shows the modern doctrine will logically involve things in conflict with traditional doctrine and _not_ covered by the licence or appearance of such.
E g the decision of 1820 does not explicitly allow for saying "the furthest stars are 13.8 billion light years away" and the decision of 1909 does not explicitly allow for extending Genesis 5 and 11 so that Adam lived 50 000 or 100 000 or 500 000 or 1 750 000 years ago, hence, should these positions come to be implied by Heliocentrism or Old Earth, the licences from 1820 and 1909 are no good argument against a full return to traditional doctrine?
If Scripture is up to my interpretation, what if my interpretation is that it shows the truth of the Catholic Church?

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: for all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

For All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.”

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.”

2 Corinthians 13:5
Great video. Sola scriptura makes the word of God into the word of men. Jesus gave the authority to interpret scripture to Peter then the other Apostles then to their successors. Jesus made no such promise to the protestants because they lack apostolic succession.
As St. Jerome put it, in his comments on the Epistle to the Galatians (speaking against the Luciferians) "Let us be persuaded that the gospel consists not in the words but in the sense. A wrong explanation turns the Word of God into the word of man, and, what is worse, into the word of the devil; for the devil himself could quote the text of Scripture; " and he did so when he tempted our Lord in the desert. (Matt. 4. 6.
Satan did misquote Gods Word from the beginning..

That's not what Sola Scriptura is 0:23
For some you are correct. This is another problem with Sola Scriptura, there is no single agreed upon definition, it has changed over time.
How was Gods word delivered
Was it spoken by HIM and he compelled it to be written ?
Is HE not able
To DO that simple of a thing and yet be Able
To create the world and all
That is in it?
Do you not believe God has the power to do as he will in his own creation and have a Book put together of HIS word?
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
Acts 17:24-31
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Mark 13:31
If he also being outside of time and a prophet he sends his earthly mother to his youngest and Longest living disciple to have care and comfort..
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”
1 John 3:16-18, 23-24
“And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.”
Mark 3:33-35
“And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: but ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: there is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:9-15, 20-23
“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 1:25-31
“Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,”
Romans 9:19-23
“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
Isaiah 58:6-11
“Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.”
Ecclesiastes 7:13-14
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?”
Isaiah 43:10-13
“Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: But now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent In dust and ashes.”
Job 42:1-6
“And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.”
Luke 18:19
As a protestant I'd say, sola scriptura means - everything you need for the kingdom is found in the Scripture. Everything should be consistent with Scripture and is often found grounded in the Scriptures.
Sola Scriptura does not preclude the authority of tradition or even culture at all.
If Sola Scriptura is said to mean this, this is false.
Also, brothers, anyone who says something cannot be true because of a mix of wise interpreters and false interpreters (people who do not agree) is dangerous when they say this
Without authority you have no idea if you are preaching a false gospel and you don't have traditions that trace back to the Apostles whom have the authority to tell you so. The founder of the SDA and Jehovah's Witnesses believed in scripture alone and "put it to the test" yet they have erroneous beliefs.
Sola scriptura means scripture alone… and it is false
@@TruLuan which founder of SDA? i am SDA. we believe Scripture alone and i stand by It.
we do have traditions and we do have God's Word -- what can be more precise than that?
most importantly, we believe that if anything is in disagreement with God's Word, then there is no light (Truth) in it. do you disagree?

@@tony1685 You just proved my point. There are other founders who have read the same exact scriptures, yet they have different interpretations then you guys do lol. You should study authority first THEN scriptures. Otherwise you are going to follow a false gospel, like you are being and SDA

The Bereans understood that scripture could not be set aside, like Jesus said it couldn't, so they tested Paul's works to see if they were true. Scripture is the measuring stick 11:24
Scripture is A measuring stick, but we also have Tradition. St Paul explicitly commanded that we remember both what was taught by word of mouth or letter. St Paul instructed Timothy to teach other men what he heard from Paul, so those men could teach others also.
@@joelpenley9791 if what is being called tradition goes against the written word then it is not true tradition. The two should work together like a well functioning machine. If the tradition does not go against the written word of God but instead harmonizes with it then it is true tradition.

We see today by many bad actors in the Church the importance of measuring against Tradition.
John 1:1
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
( vs14) and the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us.
Jesus Christ formed the universe and all creatures and everything we see he created.
Jesus defeated Satan with his own words, it is written, it is written, it is written.
Jesus is the alpha and the omega, His book is God breathe,his inspired words.
That sounds like exactly everything we need for inspiration and instructions for righteousness..
His words stands alone as final truth. Take it or leave it.
Protestant dogma is religious and scriptural relativism, repeating the sin of Eve: deciding for oneself what's right and wrong, true and false, good and evil.
Protestants mistakenly assume Scripture is a comprehensive "do -it - yourself" manual for Christianity.
The Bible NEVER says and Jesus NEVER said "ALL true instruction to lead to eternal life is to be found in Holy Scripture." Where does the Bible say this?
What New Testament Bible did Peter preach from on the first Pentecost Sunday?
The first Gospel, Matthew's, would not be written for 15 years after Jesus ascended into Heaven, and the last book would not be written for almost 70 years. Yet St. Stephen and countless others were martyred for the Faith BEFORE any of the New Testament was written down. They believed, lived and died for the ORAL New Testament, also known as "Divine Tradition."
DIVINE TRADITION IS THE ORAL WORD OF GOD JESUS TAUGHT HIS APOSTLES. IT'S NOT LESS THAN THE BIBLE. BOTH MAKE UP THE "DEPOSIT OF FAITH." PROTESTANTS THREW AWAY JESUS'S ORAL DIVINE TRADITION SO THEY *DO NOT HAVE THE FULL GOSPEL*
Deuteronomy 4:2 says: "You shall not add to the word of God, ... nor take away from it. " Protestants didn't just throw away Divine oral Tradition but also threw 7 books out of their Bibles.
Matthew 4:4 says, "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God." Protestants don't have EVERY WORD, only PART of the written Word, none of the Oral Word.
Remember, we're NOT Jews. The Holy Spirit guides the Church hierarchy, not the rabbis.
Jesus and His Apostles used and quoted the Septuagint Bible. Protestants use the rabbis' shorter Masoretic text that DID NOT EXIST until almost 100 years AFTER Jesus ascended into Heaven.
Remember what Jesus said *TO HIS APOSTLES* in John 16:12,13: "I HAVE MANY MORE THINGS TO SAY TO YOU, BUT YOU CANNOT BEAR THEM NOW. BUT WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH...."
Truth NOT written in the Bible.
The Catholic Church guards Jesus's oral teaching -- called, not tradition of men, but *Divine Tradition* -- which Jesus taught His Apostles, and which the Bible tells us to keep, in 2Thessalonians2:15, 1Corinthians11:2,
2Timothy1:13,
2Timothy2:2
and Titus1:9.
Protestants threw away Jesus's oral teaching, violating: Deuteronomy 4:2, "You shall not add to the word.of God ... nor take away from it,"
Psalm 118:160 says, "The *SUM* of Thy Word is Truth" and Matthew 4:4 "Man does not live by bread alone but by *every word* that comes from the mouth of God.
Oral Word of God (Divine Tradition) + Written Word of God (Holy Scripture) = Full Gospel Truth
Holy DIVINE Traditions guarded by the Catholic Church are: the 7 Sacraments, especially the various rituals of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the correct interpretation of Scripture, especially teachings on Mary's sinlessness, on the intecession of the saints and on Purgatory, use of holy water, relics, blessings, and other sacramentals.
These make up the Full Gospel. Only the Catholic Church HAS the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus may say to protestants who DENY His oral Word of God, "Depart from Me. I never knew you."
It’s pronounced keh-kar-i-toh-men-eh
No long-ee at the start.
Scripture alone does not allow one to come up with more names for Mary.
For instance Mother of God title, tacitly implies that God was an orphan for over 464 years and not so clever as He didn't know who His mother is.
Gate of heaven, east or west.
John 10 :9 I(Jesus) am the Gate.
The Bible that was codified by the Catholic refutes all these names.
As a result of men deciding to sit around tables and discuss new names and doctrines of Mary instead of sending missionaries out to preach the word, after 382ad.
We have thousands of doctrines but hundreds of missionaries. 🙏🙏🙏
Go ye into all the nations and preach the gospel
Unless you understand Catholicism which includes Sacred Scripture, you will never understand Mary.
If you deny that she is the Mother of God you effectively deny His divinity, the heresy of Nestorianism which is the reason why the CC proclaimed the dogma, long before Protestantism existed, to defend His divinity
@@geoffjsIt all boils down to Salvation!

@@tknciliba4743 bro geoffjs already tried to explain the Catholic faith to you so i will put it this way…
You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, there are plenty of different beliefs in the world. But to glean this from OUR book, the Bible, is just plain silly…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings.
Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
@@tknciliba4743 Protestants miss the point that Jesus didn’t leave us the bible, He gave us His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15, having authority over the bible which she codified
What did Christians do for the first 1500 yrs of Christianity until the bible was mass printed & even then, most people were illiterate until recent centuries. So for 90% of church history, people heard the bible read at Holy Mass & relied on Sacred Scripture which was handed down from the time of Jesus, St Paul 2 Thes 2:15. Don’t forget that not everything is in the bible Jn 21:25. All Sacred Tradition is not written in down in Sacred Scripture
Protestants have an incomplete bible & lack of understanding of the Deposit of Faith & the unifying authoritative interpreter role of the Magisterium. No entity from family to corporates & govt can function properly without hierarchy & authority. The lack of these qualities explains the confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects that are not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23. It is illogical to claim that personal interpretation is guided by the Holy Spirit if there is more than one Protestant “church” ie Lutheran.

But your church’s priests were guided by the spirit to compile the scripture that became the Bible?
Sure. The Spirit won’t work for anyone but a select few.

Sola Scriptura has always bothered me.

"Ma bible doesn't say anything about ma dinosaurs therefore dinos don't exist" every Baptist ever.
Slight strawman exaggeration but that's pretty much Sola Scriptura. It used to be scripture as highest authority, but a sect of Sola Scriptura evolved into solo-scriptura.
Or it breaks on itself when proclaimants claim the ecumenical councils as authorization. Than it's not Scripture alone.

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
Yes, a Christian will do his best to follow God's Commandments and all of what Jesus commands us.
So IF Jesus started a Church.
And IF Jesus gave that Church authority to determine proper doctrine (and much more).
And IF that Church existed for 300+ years before there was a codified "Bible" and taught the Faith by Tradition.
And IF the Bible itself is a product of this Tradition.
And IF the earliest Christians - even in the Bible - celebrated the most important Christian "Holy Day" of Christ's Resurrection on "The Lord's Day" which is Sunday.
And IF Jesus promised that Hell would not prevail against the Church and that the Holy Spirit would protect it from error...
Then it is a matter of simple obedience for me to Trust the Tradition and Bible and celebrate the Lord's Resurrection and give and participate in a Sacrifice of Thanksgiving each Sunday.
And as I have told you before, if any Catholic or Christian still wants to celebrate these things on Saturday rather than Sunday (like the important part of the Commandment was WHICH day of the week it is) then, there is nothing stopping that Christian from doing so in the Catholic Church.
But if you have to deny everything above, then you are not trusting Christ, the Bible nor the Christian Tradition and in the SDA church you are literally following a "woman made tradtion" from the 1850's...

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”
Notice that this monstrous alibi to overthrow the word of God alone and make it of none effect. ( Mark 7:7,9,13) is based on a verse that is hypothetical from start to finish.

Well, they were not written and since they were not, you can only suppose if you have a religious system that is based on someone’s suppositions ,anybody can suppose ,that you can suppose anything.
Protestants miss the point that Jesus didn’t leave us the bible, He gave us His One True Church Mt 16 18-19 that is the pillar & foundation of Truth 1 Tim 3:15, having authority over the bible which she codified
What did Christians do for the first 1500 yrs of Christianity until the bible was mass printed & even then, most people were illiterate until recent centuries. So for 90% of church history, people heard the bible read at Holy Mass & relied on Sacred Scripture which was handed down from the time of Jesus, St Paul 2 Thes 2:15. Don’t forget that not everything is in the bible Jn 21:25. All Sacred Tradition is not written in down in Sacred Scripture
Protestants have an incomplete bible & lack of understanding of the Deposit of Faith & the unifying authoritative interpreter role of the Magisterium. No entity from family to corporates & govt can function properly without hierarchy & authority. The lack of these qualities explains the confusion, division & scandal of 000’s of sects that are not of Jesus who willed unity Jn 17 11-23. It is illogical to claim that personal interpretation is guided by the Holy Spirit if there is more than one Protestant “church” ie Lutheran.
@@geoffjs If you read the scriptures, “ The church” is a body of believers that heard the “ word “ of truth, not
A religious organization calling them a church made from brick and mortar. The pillars mean the word stands true to scripture, not by changing doctrine like adding “ Purgatory that was invented in 1274 or praying to Mary by repetitious beads that was invented in the fifteen century. To say that the CC has been true for the past two thousand years is false.
The extra books were written in the Greek language not the OT Hebrew language.

History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings.
Therefore, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
@@srich7503 Sure,the Roman Catholic church might have compiled the books,and has a Christian base, but they have swayed from biblical doctrine.
Example: what is the difference between Joseph Smith having an apparition from an angel from heaven saying the Bible is corrupted there is a difference Bible under a rock on a hill thus follow it. Forming an occult religion called the Mormons.
Verses in the Fifteen century a man named “Dominic had an apparition from a angel from heaven and said take these pray beads and say repeating prayers to Mary for intercession. No difference, they both were warned from the apostle Paul in Galatians 1:8 If any of us or an angel from heaven give you any other gospel other then what we have preached to you let them be a accursed.
Did Peter say Pray to Mary for intercession or Paul ,James and John. No!
Prayer beads have been a Muslim practice for thousands of years.
Jesus Christ is our only mediator..
@@johnp.6043 well if you agree that the Catholic Church compiled the canon then connecting the dots there really is no need in asking any other question than the following…
If you dont trust the Catholic church to interpret the Holy Scriptures properly today then how do you know she chose the correct books back then? You really cannot have it both ways. 🤷🏽♂️
Nope! Your Bible understanding is out of context.
Paul states follow the traditions from “ us” not a religious organization. ( Church Fathers not all were in discussion and disagreements with each other)
John 20 Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on the apostles and said to retain and remit sins.
Luke 24 ( same event) Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on the apostles and them that were with them.
2Cor. 2:6-10 This person ( Paul) was not even saved when Jesus breathes the Holy Ghost on them and he also was able to forgive remit and retain sins.
All believers are called saints and have that authority.
Not only were they not all in agreement with each other, they were not in agreement with the 27 books of the canon. Thats why we dont rely on only a few or the ones we want as “the church”.
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, - the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, - the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, - not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings.

Did not Jesus defeat Satan when he was tempted from hunger. Three times he said, It is written, It is written,
It is written.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.(vs14) and he became flesh and dwelt amongst us. ( Gos alone is the alpha and omega.)
Rom. Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
In Genesis: In the beginning God created everything, and he spoke everything ( his words) into existence.
When John wrote to the literary seven churches, to repent of their sins, notice he did not write it to one apostolic Roman Catholic Church, but seven.
Sure, I believe The Roman Catholic Church is one of God’s churches, but I believe it’s the synagogue of Satan today, history will prove that.
My wife and I were devout Catholics most of our lives, until we put the book ( Holy Bible KJV) Gods word as final authority.
Read John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written Amen.
There is no apostolic successors, except for the truth in God’s word. Sure I do not doubt that God used the Catholic Church to help organize and choose what inspired books should be used. God is true and every man is a liar.
Notice the wording from John 21:25 “ If they should… I suppose… That should be written.. well, they were not written. And if they were not written you can suppose anything you want. Like Praying to Mary, instead of what scriptures say is to pray for one another. Jesus is our only mediator, or creating Purgatory, by twisting scripture and not dividing the word of truth. Ect…

The Catholic Church is opposed to "sola scriptura" is so it can make up its own unscriptural beliefs and still claim to be following Jesus' teachings. For instance, where in the Bible *OR ELSEWHERE* did Jesus teach that...
1. the Father, Son, and holy spirit are one in substance, nature, and essence?
2. it's okay for priests to be addressed as 'Father'?
3. Mary was immaculately conceived?
4. inanimate objects such as statues and relics can be worshiped?
5. unmarried priests must be bound to celibacy?
6. Mary can be worshiped?
7. Peter was a pope?
8. Mary was the mother of God?
9. Mary can be prayed to?
10. unmarried priests are required to take a vow of celibacy?
Clearly, the Catholic Church is anti-Christian.
Point of correction. The Catholic Church never taught that Mary should be worshipped as a divine being because the Catholic Church does NOT believe that she is equal to God
@@jerome2642 "The Catholic Church never taught that Mary should be worshipped as a divine being because the Catholic Church does NOT believe that she is equal to God."
The Catholic Church believes in a lot of wrong things, and paying worship to Mary is one of those things. As the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "As the Blessed Virgin has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints, the *worship* paid to her is called hyperdulia."
It should be obvious that the Bible does not teach that Mary should be worshiped. But, if "sola scriptura" is wrong, then, in what non-Biblical document does it say that Mary can be worshiped?
@@cbooth151
The "Worship" which that passage from the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about is the same kind of "Worship" that Abraham gave to the people of the land of the Hittites when the Bible said: "And Abraham bowed down before the people..." (Genesis 23:12). That expression "bowed down" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah" which is also translated as "Worship" in English language. (Everywhere you find the word "worship" in the old testament, it is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah")
@@jerome2642
You said that "bowed down" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Shachah" which is also translated as "Worship" in the English language."What you said is true. However, you're not telling the whole story. "Shachah" has more than one meaning. It can translated as "worship" or "to bow," depending on the context. For instance, at Gen. 23:7, it says that Abraham "bowed" to the pagan Hittites. In this situation, Abraham was physically bowing or stooping down to the Hittites as a gesture of respect. However, in the previous chapter, Abraham told his servants that he and Isaac "are going over there; we shall worship and then come back to you." (Gen. 22:5) In this case, it is clear that Abraham going to a mountain to worship God along with his son. In both verse, the word "shachah" was used.
"The "Worship" which that passage from the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about is the same kind of "Worship" that Abraham gave to the people of the land of the Hittites."
That is simply not true. The Catholic Church made up a non-Biblical term for the worship of Mary. That word is "hyperdulia." As the Catholic Encyclopedia says: "As the Blessed Virgin has a separate and absolutely super-eminent rank among the saints, the *worship* paid to her is called hyperdulia." But, where in the Bible did Jesus tell his followers to worship Mary? NOWHERE!! At John 4:23, Jesus said: "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him." So, the only way to be a true worshiper is to worship Jesus' Father, whose personal name is Yahweh or Jehovah, not a trinity. (Ex. 3:15)
@@cbooth151
Exactly. "Shachah" has more than one meaning. But as we have seen, "Shachah" is translated as "Worship" in English. That means that the English word "Worship" actually has MORE THAN one meaning.
(It makes no sense to admit that a particular Hebrew word has MULTIPLE meanings while at the same time saying that the English translation of that same Hebrews word has ONLY ONE meaning).
By admitting that "Shachah" has more than one meaning, you are essentially admitting that English translations of "Shachah" ("worship" or "bow down') also has multiple meanings.
It is therefore false to claim that "Worship" (or "bow down") can ONLY mean "recognizing and acknowledging a person or thing as a divine being or a god".
This is just one FORM of ''worship" (the highest form of worship) but there are other lesser forms of worship eg honouring or respecting someone (it is this form of "worship" that Abraham showed to the Hittites in Genesis 23:12).
And it is this same kind of worship that the Catholic Encyclopedia talks about
There is no need to bring John 4:23 into this discussion because in that verse Jesus talks about the Worship given to God which is the highest form of worship. The Catholic Church never taught that Mary deserves the highest form of worship or the kind of worship meant for God alone.
The absence of the word "Hyperdulia" in the Bible doesn't make it inappropriate for use in Christian vocabulary because there are many words that christians use that are not explicitly written in the Bible eg "seminary", "theology", "Bible", etc
Scripture DOES NOT say that Christ built a ROMAN catholic church. Rome does. Scripture DOES NOT say that the church gave the bible. Rome does. PETER does not say that the church gave the bible. PETER mind you. Peter did not say the church has sole authority to interpret scripture. Rome does. Peter does not say pray the rosary, pray to Mary and that the way to Jesus is to Mary. On and on.
Scripture, the bible "
THIS BOOK. Does not mean revelation only because Deuteronomy and proverbs say the same thing. And what did the apostle Paul mean by "another gospel."
I just love the way you the way you twist the hell out of scriptures. So what you're saying is Sola Scriptura is not EXPLICITLY taught in scripture. Ok, so show me where the rosary, prayer to Mary, the papacy, immaculate conception, perpetual virginity are EXPLICITLY taught in the bible . EXPLICITLY!!! Yes, and 2 thess 2:15 says STAND FAST and HOLD the traditions you HAVE BEEN taught. Paul also said to KEEP the traditions AS I DELIVERED THEM UNTO YOU. So if you keep, stand fast and hold, why does the church keep adding traditions? How can sacred tradition be equal to scripture if scripture EXPLICITLY says not to add to it? Scripture EXPLICITLY says "if they speak not according to THIS word, it is because there is no light in them." So spin the "this word" for me. Put the Catholic spin on that. Finally , if Sola Scriptura is wrong why did the church use the BIBLE ALONE to say that sacred tradition is equal to it. Why not the Koran, the book of Mormon or any other book. Was sacred scripture THE ONLY book out there that could give your sacred tradition credibility and believability? Apparently so or when your church said "equal to sacred scripture' did it mean a certain part of the scripture or all of it? So as your apologist, Tim staples said that sola Scriptura is a man made tradition. Ok, let me get this straight. YOUR one true church used a book, doctrine of bible alone that is a false doctrine, and a man made tradition to say sacred tradition is EQUAL to scripture? Think about that? So the church unwittingly, in trying to disprove sola scriptura, has actually confirmed it. Otherwise your church should have used any other book or "sacred writing? Last question. Where does scripture say Jesus left ONE man in charge of THE CHURCH?" What did Christ say before he ascended? That he would pray to the Father who would send a man?
Video explains why Catholics do not go by scripture alone.
Dude proceeds to ask to be shown in the Bible what justify catholic teachings on...

By asking where in the Bible does it EXPLICITLY say this or that, you demonstrate you didn't understand the video. The whole point is that catholics do NOT believe that the entire faith is contained in the Bible. For example, the instructions for baptism are not clear in Scripture, yet we know how to baptise, because we have apostolic succession; ie, we do what was handed down to us in an unbroken line from the apostles. God bless +++
@@christopherfleming7505 no, he's trying to point it that the bible doesn't teach this or that that it his point. If scripture doesn't explicitly teach it. Or that it doesn't have to explicitly say it (same thing,l word ply as usual. As many of you say "scripture doesn't clearly or explicitly teach Sola Scriptura." Well, the same standard should apply to your teachings. But then the argument is Jesus said many things that aren't recorded in scripture. Like that gives the church authority to just say we can establish MORE oral tradition. He even quoted Paul when he clearly says KEEP the traditions AS I DELIVERED THEM unto you. DELIVERED not will deliver. And he said STAND FAST and HOLD the traditions you have been taught or were taught. Does STAND FAST Nd HOLD really need explaining? And hpaul said HAVE BEEN not will be taught. Does he or you not understand past tense? How in any shape, way or form give the church or anybody authority to just keep adding traditions as your church willingly does? The key is that traditions in Paul's day did not clash with scripture. Do the traditions of Catholicism agree with scripture? That should be a resounding NO. That is why both Jesus and Paul did not agree with traditions. You know that 11 of the 13 mentions of scripture are in a negative sense? Primarily because Jesus said they make the word of God of no effect. So if the argument is Sola Scriptura is not RXPLICITLY taught then you should be held to the same standard. But it's always "we are ok with ours, you are not." He's trying to justify the traditions of the church. Like Tim Staples does while saying Sola Scriptura is a man mAde tradition.
Very well done. For those that want a more plentiful exegesis see Robert Sungenis’ Commentary on the Catholic Douay-Rheims New Testament which is exegeted from the Original Greek and Latin. This Volume 3 speaks vvspecifically about 1 Cor 4:6 on pages 219 thru 230 in great detail.
