Sola Scriptura and Catholic Questions for Protestants

- This video is about Sola Scriptura and Catholic questions for Protestants, and why the teaching of the Bible alone is itself unbiblical. Listen until the end for the biggest refutation. Protestants cannot prove sola scriptura because it's unbiblical. **Follow Catholic Truth on social media below.
*Catholic Questions for Protestants:*
#1. Where in the Bible does it say the bible is all you need?
#2. Where does Scripture teach that the Bible is the ONLY or FINAL authority?
#3. How do we know, according to the Bible alone, that the books in the Bible are inspired Scripture? Where in the Bible does it give a list of inspired Scripture and how do we know what is inspired and what is not?
- Where does it say in the Bible that the Book of Hebrews is inspired Scripture?
- Where does it say in the Bible that Matthew is inspired? Or Philemon?
#4. According to the Bible alone, how do we even know Matthew wrote Matthew? How do we know wrote the Book of Hebrews?
#5. Where in the Bible does it say the Bible alone is the Word of God?
SUPORT: We cannot do this work of souls without you!

As a Methodist I was already pointed in this direction through what we knew as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, which saw scripture in relation to tradition, reason and experience. I guess I was well on my way to a more historic and biblical view of well....the bible. I remember thinking it odd that those who were so fervently against Catholicism would so readily accept 66 writings from so corrupt a source. If the root is compromised, what of the branches? Of course I'm Catholic today!
Well said. Glad you found your way home. Welcome!

➨ The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ...
● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH.
● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter.
● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you.
● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing.
● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH.
● MATT 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing)
● JOHN 14:26-31
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
(To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not presently known....not in writing)
● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
(The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.)
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Luther's doctrine of "Faith alone" is ALSO False:
➨ WORKS, PENANCE, & PURGATORY (All copied from the protestant version of the Bible by me)
➨WORKS:
● REV 20:12...The dead are judged BY THEIR WORKS.
● JAMES 2:18 Faith without works is dead
● MATTEW 19:17 Jesus tells us if we want to enter into Life, we must keep the commandments.
● MATTHEW 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your GOOD DEEDSand glorify your Father in heaven.
● JAMES 2:24 A man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
● ROMANS 2:6 He will judge everyone ACCORDING TO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.
● ROMANS 2:13
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
● MATTHEW 7:21 Not everyone who says to me: "Lord Lord will enter into the kingdom of heaven but only those WHO DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER.
● PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
● MATT 25:35-40 JESUS tells us to feed the hungry & clothe the naked (good works). He further warns us that those who do NOT will be sent away into the eternal fire., but those who do these WORKS will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
● LUKE 16:19-30 The story of Lazarus and the rich man shows us that the rich man went to hell for refusing to help Lazarus who was poor and hungry. (He refused to do good works)
● TITUS 3:14 KJV And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
● EPHESIANS 2:8-11 (KJV) Protestants "prove" their false doctrine of "faith alone" By quoting EPH 2:8-9 and they STOP before they get to number 10:
8 For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (most protestants stop here instead of continuing on to 10):
➨ 10 FOR WE ARE GOD'S WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, WHICH GOD HAS BEFORE ORDAINED, THAT WE SHOULD WALK IN THEM.
● 1 COR 9:27 (KJV) (Paul speaking) But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast away.
● MATT 12:36-37
36 But I say unto you, That every idle WORD THAT MEN SHALL SOEAK, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, and BY THY WORDS THOU SHALL BE CONDEMNED.
(not by yout faith alone)
➨PENENCE: Protestants reject the idea that they must do "penence" (attempt to make up for the sins they have committed) ● Luke 19:8. Zacchaeus told Jesus if he has cheated anyone, he will repay them 4 times over.
● Mark 2:20 Jesus said (regarding his disciples): The days are coming when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
● Matthew 6:16 When you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrits do
● Acts 26:20 RSV but declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.
● Acts 2:38-40: Do Penance and be baptized everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you shall recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit. For this promise is to you AND YOUR CHILDREN, and to all who are far off who the Lord our God shall call.
➨PURGATORY:.
● 2 TIMOTHY 1: 16-18. Paul prays for the dead Onesiphorus.
● 1 PETER 4:6 The gospel was preached to the dead.
● 1 PETER 3:19 , Peter says that after the crucifixion and death of Jesus, that Jesus "went to speak to the spirits in prison", which means that there is a place people go to after they die that is a prison and not heaven nor hell.
● MATT 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will Not be forgiven, either in this world, nor in the "world to come" This implies that some sins are forgiven in the "world to come" (purgatory)
● also 1 COR 3:12-15 & more in the Catholic Bible: (2 Mace 12:46). “It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they might be loosed from their sins”
1 Peter 1:17

ok give the verse that says "follow only the bible and sola scrpitura is biblical" oh wait there isnt lmao therefore its unbiblical
@@melissavergara612 According to that "logic" the trinity is not Biblical.
I was Lutheran and went to parochial school. As an adult, I converted to the Catholic faith. It made more sense to me. I am currently studying this issue. The Word Alone doctrine is hypocritical. How can you cling to what the Bible says when Protestants threw out 7 whole books of the Old Testament? You’re relying on partial knowledge. The reformers threw out anything they didn’t agree with. Martin Luther rejected the book of James because it said faith AND works are necessary to be saved, not faith alone. There are about 30,000 Protestant denominations and all of them claim to be the True Church. The one Bible has different interpretations for all 30,000. They were based on the personal interpretation of one man, who founded the denomination. If heresy developed, there is no person or group you can go to to set it straight. The one thing all Protestants have is They are accountable to no one. The Catholic Church has the Pope, Cardinals, and Bishops safeguarding from heresy. The thing that attracts me to the Catholic Church is they have accountability and have actively fought heretics for thousands of years. You can trace the popes back all the way to Peter. And yes, people were illiterate. This is why the stained glass windows existed. So the mother in the family could orally tell the story of Jesus to her kids. And the lectionary is designed to preach the entire Bible to someone in two years by the readings.
most protestants don't know Church history. I believe Saint.. he just became Saint not too long ago.. Saint John Henry Newman said, "to be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant." Learn your history Protestant!
fatold- Thank you for sharing your testimony. So glad you found your way back home. Praise God for that! ... And well said.
Why didnt you learn this as a protestant though? Lmao you should have known this the moment you chose to be protestant or you didnt choose and blindly walked into it just like those that blindly walk into Catholicism and become catholic.
The conversion stories are the same the only thing you should keep to is principles. Know the reason why things happen not what comes from it.

YAHSHUA is talking of the ANOINTING Spirit. That every one "must receive and not imagine as received".

You are either distorting Scriptures to mislead others or ignorant as blind unanointed teachers you put your beliefs as true with out refereeing the Scriptures.
Be as a Berian test every thing.
Agents of Satan very good actors are hypocrite.
Today Roman Catholics are as YAHSHUA HA MASHIACH said in
Matthew 23:15
( Pope's, Cardinals Arc bishops , bishops, vicars priests seminarians)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Please compare use reference KJV and other translation.
Lucifer name is removed -word or As you know NAME "LUCIER" IS TRANSLATION WRITTEN IN SOME TRANSLATIONS.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
NAME never changes.
Our Saviors Name is removed from every mouth today. And replaced by a fictional egregore name JESUS.
YAHSHUA is THE NAME.
IT HAS THE FATHER'S NAME IN IT
"YAH (YHWH YAHOVA) IS SALVATION"= YAHSHUA.

@@armandoc.3150 Actually, the majority of Catholics who become Protestant do so for emotional and not intellectual reasons. People who leave the Catholic faith didn't know their faith to begin with. Whereas Protestant to become Catholic didn't want to in the first place. They thought it was evil. They wrestled with it. They studied. They realized it was the true church and converted to the True Church of Jesus Christ. They realize that their understandings of Catholicism or false and that's why so many pastors, scholars, heads of cemeteries, an entire Protestant churches are converting to the Catholic Church after studying.
In fact, that's why we made a video on this a while ago, video on how ex-catholics never knew their faith to begin with. ruclips.net/video/uuJFvG-2hwQ/видео.html
Proud to be Catholic😍😍😍😍😍
Amen!!!!!👍🏼🙏
@Alma Pimentel As you are proud to be a Catholic, in the church of Jesus Christ as you say, maybe you can explain why your Jesus killed so many innocent and loving Christians during the Inquisition?
@@_kjc_4900 try reading the real history of the inquisition it wasn't the catholic church that killed people it was the state
@@_kjc_4900 exactly. The Catholic Church didn't kill anybody. The Spanish Inquisition brought in some priests who were trained in theology to help him. Plus, a lot of people were not killed in the inquisition's. That is a historical myth. And which inquisitions are you talking about? They were Protestant inquisitions and atheist inquisitions also. They were the courts of law in that day.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Do you really believe that? Then please google for "pope apologizes for inquisition".
_"Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."_ (Joh 9,41)
Thank you for helping protestants like me come home to the Church.
Our pleasure! We thank God for allowing us to have this ministry. 🙏 Welcome home!
It is not a case of coming home to an istitution that claims to be the only true church it is coming to Christ as your only hope of redemption as the scriptures clearly point out. If you join the earthly membership of the roman Catholic church you will need to believe in doctrines not found in the scriptures , the very scriptures that God has written for you .You will need to accept compromise!
@Xy Zz maybe you have a scripture to back up that claim?
Believers are the bride of Christ not an institution making claims.
@Xy Zz Well here is a shorter video .
ruclips.net/video/Q2s8k26mEfU/видео.html
Notice how much scripture is being used in context . Steve Ray is a good speaker but all he is doing is teaching you what the roman Catholic church teaches.
@Xy Zz Yes that is what you have been told . Do you actually think that there were no problems in the early church at all? The apostle Paul is constantly warning about false doctrine and you would object to Paul warning about false doctrine and call him a protestant?
i realize that you as a roman Catholic are not encouraged to read the bible on your own but only through what the church teaches. So when the roman church brings in something contrary to scripture , you can not disagree with it .
1414 A.D. The cup forbidden to the people at communion by the Council of Constance.
Can you agree with the council and confirm this is what the scriptures teach?
SO well said!
I am so amazed to see certain critics' names occurring over and over again in the Chat history, maligning the Church and its teaching, yet they have made NO EFFORT to answer the specific questions you posed in your video -- and no wonder because your points are bullet-proof!
Further, I think some of those critics need to go back to their dictionaries and look up the word "contradiction." To CONTRADICT Scripture, the Catholic Church would have to put forth doctrines and teachings that specifically GO AGAINST what's in the Bible. That is the type of "traditions" Jesus condemned in his discussion about Corban with the Pharisees.
As a former Protestant who has studied these matters extensively in my efforts to refute Catholicism (I'm Catholic now!), I say the most that anyone might validly say is that Sacred Tradition appears to have some things in it that is NOT MENTIONED by name in the Bible, though most of those things can be said to be valid and allowable derivations based on what IS in the Bible. Some other of those things can be said to be expounding doctrines handed down by oral tradition from the Apostles, who spent 40 days with Jesus between his Resurrection and the Ascension. (All that Jesus said during that time is not recorded in the Bible, and even John himself has said that "Jesus did many other things. If all of them were written down, not even the whole world could hold what would be written" - John 21:25). None of those things can be said to be "contradictions", as the critics would love to call them, though.
Jesus also said that when he left them he would send them another Counselor (the promised Holy Spirit), and that Counselor would "guide them into all truth." (John 14:16, John 16:7-14). Why would He need to do that if they already had "all truth"? There is no way to conclusively say that "all truth" got put into the Bible and the Bible only -- just as your point in the video shows. Therefore, those who reject Sacred Tradition are in danger of rejecting the work of the Holy Spirit down through the ages (and He has guided the Church in its canonization of the Bible and in refutations of many heresies that have come), even perhaps sinning against the Holy Spirit. One should be much less quick to criticize and much more eager to really dig into all the facts!
Didn't read your entire comment, just wanted to say
WELCOME HOME!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY THE IMMACULATE HEART BE YOUR REFUGE!!
DEVS VVLT ✝️
see my reply to Felipe.
Donm 8615 .JOHN 14 .Jesus tells the Apostles the Holy Spirit will bring back to their memory everything he taught them . This was N.T. TEACHING .IT IS APOSTOLIC. Of course he did not expect them to teach all of his knowledge ,but what was needed for the church. THE ONLY TRADITIONS MENTIONED ARE THOSE GIVEN BY THE APOSTLES NOT THE MAN MADE ONES THAT CAME AFTER. They warned not to add to or take from God's word. WHAT YOU CALL SACRED TRADITIONS are like the traditions of the pharisees, man made. THE N.T. WAS WRITTEN UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE APOSTLES.God told John to write in a book Rev.1:11 This was confused BY SOME in the 2nd cent with false teaching from the gnostics etc.
@@wendymitchell8245 That's a flawed take on Jesus' words regarding the Holy Spirit. Jesus said the Holy Spirit will "teach AND remind". Jesus elsewhere tells his apostle Peter, "what you loose/bind on earth will be bound in Heaven" (Matthew 16:19). Call it an "ability to parrot" if you wish, but Jesus is talking actual authority here.
@@donm-tv8cm He said,v.26 .he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance ,whatsoever I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU. (past tense). Jesus said ALL the APOSTLES WOULD BIND AND LOOSE .This was a Jewish expression to mean confirm the law. This is what they did in bringing the N.T. teaching to the church.

I pray not.. i pray they at least make it to purgatory. And if they do they'll be Catholic in heaven. Oh.. wait till they see the Blessed Mother walking into purgatory. Whoa
Purgatory is a fictitious place dreamed up by man because after reading the scriptures and seeing that Christ did indeed die for absolutely every sin that we have , are ,and will commit , there is this need of man and satan to disprove God.
Coll 2:9-15 tells you where your sins are . Do you still see a stain of sin upon you as you die?
Do you see any scripture that tells you that there is a stopping off place to clean up your act that you were not clean enough when you died?
Do you see any scripture that tells you that upon your merits of cleaning yourself up that this will increase your chances of going to heaven?
Do you have any reason to believe that someone can pray for you to get out of purgatory ?
Oh.. wait till they see the Blessed Mother walking into purgatory.
Luke 16:19-31 read the parable and see for yourself that Mary can not go there and the state is eternal , meaning that praying for anyone to get out of purgatory is a waste of time. Purgatory denies the complete sacrifice of Jesus on the cross . Titus 3:5 refers to believers and see what Titus has to say . Still think the stain of sin will follow you? No unclean thing will be in heaven and it is Jesus and only Jesus that makes you clean.
Anyone who desecrates the Church in word or deed is in danger of hell fire
hey this sounds pretty nasty but where did you find it?
What church are you referring to?
Matt 5:But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
that is the only reference I could find, so where did you find yours?
@@bobloblawb2593 wow! there's no answer from the Catholics! 😊😊😊
@@fernvaldevilla9145 There is no answer from Rockinghorse Winner, but various Catholics do provide the Churches stance not the scriptures for their answers.
Even when you actually show them scriptures in the bible which back Catholic teachings, they will argue with what they have been shown. Case in point: Mary is in the bible, and so is honouring her. Saints and their intercession is also in there. Confession, penance, good works, The Eucharist, Carved images in the Lord's temple, etc etc....all in the bible, but when presented with these things, Most of them will not accept it
➨ INTERCESSION OF MARY & THE SAINTS IN THE BIBLE: ...
Including proof that saints are not among the dead
The Protestant claim that we are forbidden to speak to / pray to Mary and the saints is NOWHERE in the Bible. In fact, the following scriptures were copied (by me) directly from the Protestant version of the Bible: ...
➨INTERCESSION of a holy person on our behalf:

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.20:
➨SAINTS ARE NOT AMONG THE DEAD: AND THEIR INTERCESSION IS BIBLICAL: They share in the ressurrection of Jesus: (Protestants attack Biblical saints while they follow dead reformers)

➨NOWHERE does the bible permit protestants (or anyone else) to Scrutinize & monitor the prayers of other people, nor to judge their sincerity or their salvation.
Protestantism does not come from jesus. It began with Martin Luther in 1517 & exists Only to oppose the Catholic church which Jesus founded 15 centuries B4 the protestant revolt. They only know & accept the PARTS of the Bible that suit them and they do not have an accurate bible either.
➨ The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ...
● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH.
● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing)
● JOHN 14:26-31
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
(The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.)
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Luther's doctrine of "Faith alone" is ALSO False:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. (most protestants stop here instead of continuing on to 10):

Sola scripture is heresy you also need the Holy spirit and prayer, solar scripture is like treating the bible like a text book 📖.it's leads to another heresy eg gnosticisum.
Protestant: Is your Church Bible-based?
Me: Yes, but do you know that the Bible itself is Catholic Church-based?
Also let's add hey Catholics you know how you got your bible? From the jews lol
Clarence, true. The we have a Bible beause of the Catholic Church who put the bible together and canonized it, and copied it for over 1000 years so people could have it.
Armando, the Jews didn't give us the Bible. The Bible wasn't made or canonized until the year 397 A.D. In this was done at the Catholic Council of Carthage in Africa. Before this, there were hundreds and hundreds of different manuscripts all floating around some written by the Jews and some not. Some being inspired by the Holy Spirit but most of them not. It was the Catholic Church alone who sifted through all of the manuscripts available and chose which books were and were not inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thus it was the Catholic Church, not the Jews, who made the Bible. Jewish people wrote the Bible, but it was the Catholic Church you canonized it and made it official and put it under one cover as we know it today.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You wouldnt have a bible without the old testament to validate it and you know the old testament is from the jews.
@@armandoc.3150 The Jews never had a set Bible Cannon. It was the Catholic Church who canonized it.
Since my last posting wasn't censored by youtube again, I'll try to respond again. Sola / Solo Scriptura is not only unbiblical, it isn't even logical. Books in New Testament weren't even written until after Christ died, and which ones would be included wasn't even determined until 4th century. Why wouldn't all 4 gospels be identical if Sola Scriptura was true? Why would there be over 30,000 protestant denominations if Sola Scriptura was true? Why would the Methodist church be splitting over LGBT marriage if Sola / Solo scriptura was true? Why did all protestant denominations used to teach that abortion, divorce, co habitation, children out of wedlock, contraceptives, adultery, etc etc were immoral according to bible, but you can easily find a protestant church today that will tell you these things are o.k. and once saved, always saved? There are 1.2 billion Catholics, and 900 million protestants from over 30,000 denominations. If sola scriptura is TRUTH, then why so many denominations each teaching something different?
Well said, And it might be added that they all claim to be led by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is really confused. Or these man-made religions with this man-made doctrine have created all of this division and confusion.
that is the million dollar question... peace be with you brother.
I would start with 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV): For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
I would also include Matthew 7:22-23 (ESV): On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Jesus also points out that by their fruit you will know the true believers. Sola Scriptura simply means that in questions of practice or doctrine scripture should take precedence. We see the same situation in court testimony where written evidence overrules oral.
James, Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, none of those verse prove sola scriptura. I'm not even sure how or why you think they do? At best, they say people will fall away. Sola Scripura properly defined is that Scripture alone is the only or final authority on all matters. Except... it doesn't say that. God bless.
Catholic Truth my point was along the lines of interpretations of scripture used to justify a lifestyle that is not biblical. If the entirety of scripture has been given to us as a guide to living, then cherry picking one or a few verses to support that position will not hold up under closer scrutiny. My second point is that in the last days, many who thought that cherry picking their way through life resulted in them living a life pleasing to God will find that they completely missed the boat. This to me is one of the scariest verses in the Bible and one that makes me very nervous when someone tells me “Oh I’m fine, I’ve been Catholic (or Baptist or Presbyterian or Mormon or Buddhist or whatever) all my life. I’m sure I’ll go to heaven.” Of course Paul warns about following traditions of men rather of God.
As to verses where God warns against going beyond scripture, how do you feel about Revelation 22:18-19 (ESV): I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
I understand that it refers specifically to the prophecy in Revelation, but if God is zealous about preserving one book of the scriptures, is it not reasonable to apply the same standard to the rest. The ultimate point is, if there is a conflict between what is clearly scriptural and what is not, which will take precedence?

I've been using this same sola scriptura argument with Protestants on Facebook for years. The typical response is that they run away or else they launch into a tirade of insults.
💯
When Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness each time He replied by quoting from the word of God. More specifically He quoted from the book of Deuteronomy saying each time "it is written". In one of those replies, He said: "man should not live by bread alone but by EVERY word that proceeds from the mouth of God", Matthew 4:4.
This doesn't prove bible alone was ever believed in by the early christians
That’s because the devil was quoting Scripture but MISINTERPRETING IT! Like nonCatholics.

Protestants down the comment section are so infuriated by the fact that the word "Bible" isn't even found within scriptures word for word plus they cannot even accept the fact that The Holy Bible is a Catholic Book which they themselves use against the very own Catholic Church built and founded by Christ Our Lord 2000 years ago. Bibliolatry is so evident in Protestantism.
Well why do catholics use the Bible if the word "Bible" can't be found in the Bible? The Bible is a Catholic Book that CORRECTS the false teachings and practices of the Catholics.
@@fernvaldevilla9145 We use the Bible because God gave it to us through His Catholic Church. Don't be ignorant, nowhere in Scriptures does it even state "Scriptures Alone is the authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian." Our Lord built a "Church" in Matthew 16:18, He didn't say He will build a Bible and even the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
@@alvinflorantec.gitamondocj3659 don't be ignorant too. Just because you can't find in the Bible the "scripture alone" you now have the right to contradic the Bible.
As a former Catholic I know there are many practices in the Catholic that are not aligned with the teachings of the Bible.
-The prayers to the dead is necromancy and against the commands of God.
-The prayers that are vainly repeated are against the teachings of Jesus. And many other practices.
I may agree with you that we can't read in the Bible the "scripture alone" but we can't put into practice the things that are contrary to what is written the Bible.
@@fernvaldevilla9145 I am not ignorant, you're just an anti-Catholic protestant. FYI, the Catholic Church created the Holy Bible for all Christians. The Church came first before the Bible so I'm just gonna show you some Bible verses opposing your objections:
1. Prayers to the Saints
-Revelation 5:8 ESV
And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 8:3-4 ESV
And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
2. Repeated Prayers
Psalm 136: 1-3 NIV
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
Revelation 4:8 NIV
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’[a]
who was, and is, and is to come.”
So before you judge us Catholics, please make sure you fully Know the teachings and doctrines of the Church because if "You know the Catholic Church then you will also know the Bible because if there was no Catholic Church then there would also be no Bible.
@@alvinflorantec.gitamondocj3659 wow look how well you are..
In your point number
1. Prayer to the saints.
Revelation 5:8 and Revelation 8:3-4 did not say we should pray to the saints. Look and read the verses again. There were no commands to pray to the saints. And here you are catholics praying to them.
The verses you quoted were just records of the fact stating that like us, the saints do pray. By the way, the saints in the verses you quoted do not exclusively referring to the saints the catholics praying to. But It refers to all the people cleansed by the blood of Jesus. The saints offer prayers to God. But that does not tell us that we should pray to them.
Point number 2
Repeated prayers
You know the difference between prayers and praises, don't you?
Praises are many times repeated especially in the book of Psalms and nowhere in the Bible that prohibited the repetitions of praises to God.
Vain repetitions of prayer is mentioned in Matthew 6:7MEV. Jesus said "DO NOT use vain repetitions..."
The verses you quoted from Psalms 136:1-3 were praises offered to God for He is good and His love endures forever. This verse is not prayer but to praise God.
Revelation 4:8 is also praising God for He is Holy and God is unchanging from eternity past to eternity future. This verse is not prayer but praise to God.
Jesus' teaching is clear "DO NOT pray like pagans do... vain repetitions." The catholics violated His command BIG TIME. And again the Bible is clear, God is calling people to pray to Him not to the saints. Jeremiah 33:3 God said: "Call unto Me and I will answer thee..."
I encourage you to study the Bible. God will lead you to the truth, as God's Word is The Truth.
My prayers are for you.
Yes!! Exactly!! Not all is in the Bible! It is in God Himself!
Your words are such truth. And I accept this, but also I am a Devout Catholic. And I believe that the Catholic Church the one true Church
But non Catholics will never accept your words here. They will dig in and dig their heads in the sand. As my mother would have said: “ YOU CAN BRING A HORSE TO WATER BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM DRINK !”
Thank you for sharing these beautiful words.
Small mistake in the video at 10:55, don’t know if it was intentional, but the printing press of 1440 is quite obviously prior to the reformation of 1517. The existence of the printing press was one of the reasons Luther’s protest spread so fast.
Correct. If something else was said, it was not intentional. Thank you for the correction. Luther himself took advantage of the printing press.
The main reason I dismiss what Protestants say aside from the fact that they invented their own religion in the early 16th century based on a heretic Catholic priest named Martin Luther is this. “Jesus said in John 6 that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you have no life in you.” Many said “this is a hard saying, who can take it?, So they walked away from Him. He didn’t say, “wait, I was only speaking symbolically, or metaphorically.” No, He let them go. He was ready to start from scratch and pick new disciples and Apostles than change the truth of His words, He can’t deny His words which are truth because He is objectively truth itself. when He said to his Apostles, “Are you going to leave me too?” Peter said, “To whom else shall we go, you have the words of eternal life.” What He was speaking about there was the Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian faith. He meant what He said literally, not symbolically. Symbolic of what exactly, the Bible? Which didn’t even exist yet. Absolutely not. He meant it literally. In the upper room during the last supper he said to His disciples, “This “IS” my body, and this “IS” my blood. I have no idea how anyone could take that symbolically, of what exactly?
Even Satanists try to get the Eucharist from the Catholic mass to use in their black masses because they know it is the actual body and blood of Jesus and so they want desecrate it. We have to be on guard of people who receive in the hand so they don’t pocket it to use in a black mass. They have no interest in Protestant crackers and grape juice because they have no meaning at all. They don’t mess with Protestants because they don’t have anything they want. They mess with Catholics and the Eucharist because Satan knows it is Jesus and the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ, and he wants to desecrate it.
I’ve even heard Protestants accuse Catholics of cannibalism when we take the Eucharist. That’s what the Roman Pagans accused Catholics of in the early Catholic Church before they burned them alive or fed them to wild beasts.
Protestants reject the Eucharist which is the word of God, “Jesus” in His actual flesh and blood, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity under the appearance of bread and wine which He instituted the night before He was crucified.
I have to conclude that what Jesus said was true, that if you don’t eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you have no life in you. Since you reject the Eucharist why would I listen to anything you have to say? I receive it everyday since it is the medicine of immortality. I place it above Sacred Scripture because it is literally Jesus Himself, not in a book but truly present in the flesh. It, not the Bible (Which I read everyday) is the source and summit of our faith. It is the Eucharist.
The word Jesus used when He said to eat His flesh was the word translated in Greek as “Trogo” which means to gnaw, chew, masticate, munch. Since you deny the truth of this Scriptural teaching, I don’t really listen to anything you have to say, Your arguments are empty, shallow, and meaningless.
This is what Saint Ignatius of Antioch said about the Eucharist on his way to be eaten by lions in 107 AD. He was a direct disciple of the Apostle John who was present both when Jesus said what He said in John 6 and at the last supper when Jesus instituted the Eucharist and who taught Ignatius personally. Here’s what Ignatius said,
“I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible” (Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]).
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. . . . They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:1 [A.D. 110]).
This is someone who was taught by John Himself who wasn’t only present physically for all of what Jesus said but wrote a good chunk of the New Testament itself where he recorded what Jesus said. The Gospel of John is the most profound writing in all of the Bible. There is nothing else like it.
I would never abandon the Eucharist for Anything. It is everything to me because it is Jesus, and I get to receive Him everyday in my body and soul, and I get to worship Him in the Eucharist inside of me all day long.
Jesus broke BREAD and poured the fruit of the VINE. It can not mean something different now than what it meant then! Oops! That's right the RCC is ABOVE the scripture so anything goes and it certainly has. Do you receive bread and wine at the eucharist or meat and blood? What is the "this" Jesus mentions in these verses? Did He say take and eat my body (clearly cannabalistic) or did he say take and eat THIS is my body?(clearly symbolic)
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.28This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.29I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
Matthew 26:26-29.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8.
amen! there's no way Jesus ever meant this as a symbol. we've seen in his parables when he's using metaphors and analogies and this is certainly not one of them
New sub!! I just read 1 chapter/day of Luke’s Gospel as one of our Advent observances. I love Scripture! Also, I just tagged you in the 5 Questions for Catholic RUclipsrs Collaboration. Feel free to see the full description in my 12/30/2019 video. Looking forward to seeing your collab! Keep proclaiming the truth!
Thanks. And welcome! :)
Thanks for this great video! I wish I could evangelize well enough to get both lukewarm Catholics and Protestants to love the prayers and devotions that aren't in the Bible, such as the Divine Office and the sermons and theology of the early Church Fathers and all the Saints who came before us. What makes Catholicism unique is what has always made Saints; not knowing the joy and glory of leaving a confessional absolved and being worthy of communion with your God is such a waste. If everyone knew what real holiness is, society would change overnight. Keep working hard in this ministry, friend! ✝️ 🇻🇦 ♥️
I am back with more questions!
Questions for Catholics and Orthodox:
If the Roman Catholic church gave the world the Bible, being infallible, then why did Rome reject or question the inspiration of James and Hebrews, then later accept it? Conversely, Rome accepted as scripture books that were later rejected. If the Catholic church really is illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that men can trust her as "God's organization", why was she so wrong about something so simple? Should not the "Holy See" have known?
If the Orthodox church gave the world the Bible, being infallible, then why did the eastern churches reject or question the inspiration of Revelation, then later accept it? Conversely, the east accepted as scripture books that were later rejected. If the Orthodox church really is illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that men can trust her as "God's organization", why was she so wrong about something so simple?
If the Roman Catholic church gave the world the Bible in 397 AD, then why did many different versions of canons continue to circulate long afterwards?
If the Roman Catholic church gave us the Bible, why were the two synods of Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage, (397 AD) African councils, and not initiatives of Rome?
Since the synod Carthage in 393 AD stated, "But let Church beyond sea (Rome) be consulted about confirming this canon", does this not prove that Rome had no direct input or initiative in determining the canon.
Since the two synods of Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage, (397 AD) were under the control of what would later become the "orthodox church", how can the Roman Catholic church claim they determined the Canon? Would not such a claim be more naturally due the Eastern Orthodox church?
If the Catholic church, "by her own inherent God given power and authority" gave the world the Bible, why did she not get it right the first time? Why did the Roman Catholic church wait until 1546 AD in the Council of Trent, to officially add the Apocrypha to the Canon?
Both Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox church leaders make the identical claim that they gave the world the Bible. If both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches make the same claim they gave the world the Bible, why do they have different books in each of their Bibles? Whose "church authority" shall we believe? Whose tradition is the one we should follow?
Provide a single example of a doctrine that originates from an oral Apostolic Tradition that the Bible is silent about? Provide proof that this doctrinal tradition is apostolic in origin.
Provide a single example of where inspired apostolic "oral revelation" (tradition) differed from "written" (scripture)?
If you are not permitted to engage in private interpretation of the Bible, how do you know which "apostolic tradition" is correct between the Roman Catholic, the Orthodox and the Watchtower churches, for all three teach the organization alone can interpret scripture correctly, to the exclusion of individual?
Why did God fail to provide an inspired and infallible list of Old Testament books to Israel? Why would God suddenly provide such a list only after Israel was destroyed in 70 AD?
How could the Jews know that books of Kings or Isaiah were Scripture?
If the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches both believes that the scripture: "the church is the pillar and foundation of truth" means the church is protected from error then: a. Why do they teach doctrine so different that they are not even in communion with each other? b. How do you account for the vast number of documented theological errors made by the pope and the church in general?
If the both the Orthodox and Catholic churches follow apostolic oral tradition exactly, how come they teach doctrine so different, that they are not even in communion with each other?
Statement:
Both Tertullian and Jerome gave a list of oral traditions that were not found in the Bible. (Tertullian, The crown or De Corona, ch 3-4), (Jerome, Dialogue Against the Luciferians, 8) Tertullian said of these practices that "without any written instrument, we maintain on the ground of tradition alone". These include, baptizing by immersion three times, giving the one baptized a "drink of milk and honey" then forbidding the person from taking a bath for a week, kneeling in Sunday mass was forbidden, and the sign of the cross was to be made on the forehead. Jerome, echoing Tertullian, said that these "observances of the Churches, which are due to tradition, have acquired the authority of the written law".
Questions:
Why does the Catholic church not immerse thrice and allow kneeling? Why do both the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches not keep any of these traditions, with the exception of thrice immersion by the Orthodox? Why do Roman Catholic churches today have knelling rails in front of every pew? If the "apostolic tradition" was to make the sign of the cross on the forehead, why do both Orthodox and Catholic churches change this to the current practice of the sign on the chest and head? If extra-biblical oral tradition is to be followed, then why don't the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches practice all of these things?
No one is going to read all of that.
I'm so proud being Catholic,and i believed Catholic faith is blessed.
As you think the Catholic faith is blessed, do you think all the innocent and loving Christians killed during the Inquisition would agree with you?
As a Devout Catholic, it is always a Disappointment to show a Protestant a Biblical verse Showing a Catholic Truth (like the Eucharist or Confession to a Priest, or Mary, the Mother of God, as examples) and to have that Protestant declare "Oh, it Doesn't mean THAT!!" Or, "That's just Your Catholic-Blasphemous Interpretation!".
I have come to the conclusion that Many if not over 90% of so called "inquiring" Protestants just don't have the Intelligence to understand what is right in front of them.
All these sorts want to do, is FIGHT against Catholics and try to "Win" by any means. Of course, if Lying and Cheating, serves their desire, then that's what they'll do.
That is true unfortunately. They even fight against each other because they don't believe the other denominations have the correct understanding. Only they do. And I agree with the majority of people who read the Bible don't actually understand it I'm not studying enough to interpret it properly. This is where the book of Peter says that people take the scriptures and twist them to their own destruction. We made a video if you haven't seen it yet, on how anti Catholics misuse the Bible and unknowingly hack it up when trying to use it against Catholics. ruclips.net/video/HHF6dP29WZg/видео.html
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you for your efforts to show 'Everyone' the Truth of Catholicism. It frustrates me no end, to have to answer and show Biblical verses to substantiate any basic belief, only to have the inquirer completely Ignore the verse?! This happens too much on YT, where the Same Beliefs are Challenged repeatably, despite being given clear answers, all before them, showing what Jesus and Paul actually said!
History is Protestant kryptonite
History and Scripture is NON-PROTESTANT kryptonite!
@@grdama Everything protestants attack is in the bible. They just skip over all scriptures on the following: Mary (and honouring her) Saints (and their intercession) confession, penance, good works, The Eucharist, Carved images in the Temple of the Lord, etc etc etc. Picking ONLY THe scriptures that suit their protestant agenda, which doesn;t prove anything except the fact that protestants manipulate and mis-use the bible, just like their bridegroom Luther did.
Thanks Brian! Clear and concise in under 13 minutes. I will send link to my fellow catechists and JW friend😀. God Bless you and Happy New Year!
Great!! God bless you too. Happy new year!
Another point to express to why sola scriptura is wrong would be,Jesus did not leave us a Bible he only left us the "Church"with all the authority and as St.Augustin once said,"the only reason I beleave the Bible is inspired is because the Church says it is"Amen.
God gave all authority to Christ not the church. The Pope is not the head of the Church Christ is the head of the Church.
@@tonyfisher4113 Blessings to you, in response to your comments grammatically and theologically it's wrong I'm sorry to say, first remember the Christ is God and did not make himself head of the visual Church,so he had to leave a head here on earth to take his place after he ascended into heaven so he left Peter and named him head of the Church and by logic the men who were to follow him in his seat,which happened to be the Bishop of Rome I can go on and list the proof but it's better if I let the Church it's self sxplain it to you this is the link.

Bye and God bless 🥰
read the article it is very interesting thank you for your comment 🥰
That's a weak argument, when that same church has massive problems and unfounded ideas that are claimed to be in the Bible, and yet those things are clearly not there at all. Purgatory is one of these examples
In the Bible it said the Church is the authority , read 1 Timothy 3:15.
Remember, Jesus gave the apostles a church, not a book. Everything was taught by word of mouth from the beginning.
All R.C.s are told this and it is not true .Paul's scribe tells us his name is Tertius ,John was told by God to write it , Rev.1. Justin Martyr calls the Apostles writing their memoirs and says they are read in the churches.
@@wendymitchell8245 it is true. How can you say it’s not
@@wendymitchell8245 Peter was having the sacrifice of the mass way before the first book of the Bible was finished
@@rpgfeatures793 How could Paul teach by word of mouth when he wrote letters to the churches , He did both, wrote ,preached and taught when he visited them .Have you ever read his letters ,to the Colossians, Corinthians, Ephesians etc. Jesus said the Holy Spirit would bring back to the Apostles memories everything he taught them .John 14:26 . This is why we call it inspired.
But the apostles wrote down scripture and the Holy Spirit is there working through there hearts.
Jesus also fulfilled the Old Testament scriptures.
Another good topic,thanks for defending and explaining the one holy and apostolic catholic church that Jesus founded, ✌🥰
Evan, give the Latin Mass a try. vatican 2 took out important prayers...follow the first 161 Popes, not last 5..
I love Catholic teaching and Catholic Holly Mass which is having meaningful celebration which we Catholic should realise.
Protestants say Bible alone and that getting teachings from men after the fact is wrong and yet bible alone is not in the bible but came from a man (Martin Luther)
I am protestant and currently I'm getting very confused about my faith. I'm having a hard time lately and I really want to seek the true church of Christ, I'm starting to see the problem of Protestantism. But I'll do more research to be sure if the Catholic church is the true Church of Christ. Please pray for me
@@fhtfxbfyerc2199 Big mistake ,Do more research. These days there are many false churches ,who do not preach the gospel .Some are faking gifts they do not have and some do not even believe the Bible is the inspired word of God .We are in this century, seeing the signs of 2 Thess. 2. a falling away from the truth.
SEE GAVIN ORTLUND P.H.D..debating Roman Catholics ,on the Papacy , AND THE MAIN POINT WHERE THEY DIFFER. CALLED - TRUTH UNITES.
@@fhtfxbfyerc2199 prayers for your salvation in Christ by faith with nothing else. Read God's word the scriptures and see what Jesus has done for you. The Catholic church has a lot of truth but also some false doctrines so if you read the scriptures as God's word to you personally ,He will direct your path.
The Bible made me Catholic
Well you claim about the Catholic being the main church of Christianity but all your Catholic practices as well as the church movement was never established in the Bible, there was no catholics in scriptures only Christianity itself with the practices that was presented in the Bible that are very different than what catholics practices are....
I'm a protestant yes and I'm very interested in seeing any proof as far as Catholic being the true main church and if your practices and teachings are accurately from scriptures, I sure don't see it in scriptures but if you do than I'm more then happy to see and not to be bias to my own beliefs but to be open minded as to see if it's true or not in your point of view for me to see if it's accurate...
The way I see it I felt that Lutheran views of the bible are very truthful cause it's all in scriptures and I believe the scriptures are the only source for our understanding God's words it's the only source to defend ourselves and our beliefs if there was no scriptures there wouldn't be no evidence or history to find it's teachings to be truthfull....
God's words are not man made words, it's his words and scriptures are the evidence and every practice should be accordingly to scriptures, Traditions are important yes and it should be practice according to what scriptures say about how we worship, how we preach and how to truelly prepare ourselves on our daily lives and our God's gifts to use to help others to be closer to God and win souls for christ cause that's what Jesus commanded to go out and teach the truth so they can be saved...
So in my understanding Scriptures alone is the Main Resource for our daily lives, it helps us, it heals us, it teaches us, and it's our foundation for our chrisitian beliefs and lifestyle.
I understand where you are coming from my friend. The thing that helps me to better understand why we can't go by the bible alone is basically because we are not infallible. If the Bible is infallible then unless there's an infallible interpretator then it can't be interpretated correctly. The fact that every protestant denomination interprets something different is more than enough proof that us lay people by ourselves can not interpret all of scripture. I'm not saying we can't interpret scripture because many scholars do but the church is there to keep us in safe bounds and to not go so far off upon out interpretation. I hope that makes sense. I'm more than happy to answer more questions! Or if you want me to elaborate more on this topic.
@@smart_joey_4179 yes you are very correct indeed no doubt about it I agree
@@faceduro6719 Glad you agree! Got any questions about Catholism?
I really enjoyed this RUclips, I have been influenced by the many protestant tribes, & I see now more historically the point you are making. Teaching preaching church and the Bible are factual. While everything else is 1517 forward yet no agreement on truth per denominations.
Hi Chris! We are so happy that we were able to make an impact on your life. It's also enjoyable to see someone that "gets it." Please keep us updated on your journey and if you need anything, please let us know. God bless :)
many catholics think faith alone and not being a good person to non relatives is ok to go to heaven
Where does doctrine come from if not from Scripture?
From scripture, and from the teaching authority of the church. How do you know what is Doctrine in scripture? If you go by the Bible alone, the Bible does not tell you how to interpret it and it is not self interpreting. That's why you have so many Protestant denominations. You need an authority to interpret Scripture properly, and that is not ones own the private judgment. That is why we need the Divine authority of Scripture, and the authority of the church that Jesus established. We fully believe that Scripture is true from beginning to end and inerrant, but people's personal interpretations of it or not.
5 Solas Principles from Protestant Church =
The Scripture alone is above any human thoughts,
Grace alone is above any human works.
Faith alone is above any seen things.
Christ alone is above any creatures.
God’s glory alone is above any creatures’ glory. And the Spirit of God alone is above flesh.
The Spirit is not against the Scripture, Grace, Faith, Christ, and God’s glory, but must work all together
@a vapor You go read the catechism. It specifically says we believing grace alone. Stop spreading lies if you claim to be a Christian. And Catholicism does not reject the Scriptures. Find me one place in Catholicism where it says not to go by the Scriptures or the Scriptures are wrong or evil. That's what you're assuming we say, but that's not what we actually teach. Again, stop slandering and spreading lies if you claim to be of Christ.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I think he is not slandering but don't you Catholic says the Church or magistrate has the sole authority to determine what the verses in the Bible mean? Don't you believe tradition is at par value to the Bible and the Church determine and form the Bible? That is not Scripture Alone don't you think? It is sola ecclesia i.e. Church Alone. Church gets to say which is the word of God. Church gets to say what the word means. Church gets to say tradition is at par value to the word of God. Church gets to say what the tradition really means. It is all come down to the church hence Church Alone i.e. Sola Ecclesia. Am I misrepresenting your position? Correct me If I am.
Let's make it simple:
To those who insist on sola scriptura, show me a passage in the bible that mentions the word 'BIBLE"?
Where in the Bible does it say trinity? Where does it say the word gay? Your argument isn't rational.
@@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489 Following your logic, so is your question.
@@normarosales1768 That was literally my point.
@@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489 Good, we're in agreement. You didn't detect the sarcasm though.

( Pope's, Cardinals Arc bishops , bishops, vicars priests seminarians)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

NAME never changes.
Our Saviors Name is removed from every mouth today. And replaced by a fictional egregore name JESUS.
YAHSHUA is THE NAME.
IT HAS THE FATHER'S NAME IN IT
"YAH (YHWH YAHOVA) IS SALVATION"= YAHSHUA.

No salvation outside the Catholic Church
If you think of the Old Testament, God was the God of all. But you were not saved in this you were part of the Covenant. With very rare exceptions. People who are not part of the Covenant we're on the outside and considered dogs. You cannot just follow God anyway you want but has to be through the way that he has mapped out. Same thing in the Old Testament and in the new. It will be very difficult to be saved if you are outside the church that he started. The church is the New Covenant just as the Jews had the old Covenant of which everyone had to be part of. It's like the Ark of Noah. All of the earliest Christians said that if you are not in the ark you would have been washed away. And if you are not in the church that Jesus started, his body and his bride, then how can you be saved. You can't reject the body and still have the head.
This channel does so much to enrich my faith.
That's what I had been thinking about, Jesus definitely dint hold a bible and was preaching...good going my friend
Excellent Video, definitely strong points to ask.
Jesus never told his people "Go home and read the Bible" there was no Bible at the time lol
Eagle Fan,
Where else is Jesus for 'YOU' apart from Bible?
@Jane Marsee Eagle said JESUS never said go home and read your Bible, and Eagle is correct. Show us a verse where Jesus says that or even hints at it. Jesus did not start a bible only church, especially since there was no Bible for just about 400 years.
Catholic Truth how many times did Jesus say “have you not read” or “you have heard it said (quotes scripture)”? Jesus expected the Jews to know scripture! He said not one iota would pass until scripture was fulfilled! It was counted as noble when the Bereans searched scripture to see if Paul’s message was true! Ephesians 3:5 says scripture is from the Holy Spirit. It is Gods Words, His Law, His Commandments, and His Revelation of His Son and His Character! Scripture is the standard of all Christian teachings, doctrines, traditions and godly living. So, if ANY church teaching, doctrine or tradition are contrary to scripture then it is false. Mainly because God never changes he is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. We are told to hold to the traditions that were taught not to make up ones that go against scripture! Christ died once and said “it is finished!” His death and His resurrection was sufficient just as His word is, just as His grace is, solely for Gods glory! Anything else devalues His work! The Pharisees were notorious for adding laws and requirements and other burdens on the people that were not from God, and Christ condemned it! He states in 5:20 that our righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees... how is that possible?Scripture says the just/righteous will live by faith. Faith is the key (Heb 13) then I will show you my faith through my works!(gal 2:16 and James 2:18 romans 4:2)
TheFitz Off
But then there are thousands of churches who teach according to the Bible, and yet each of them have a different interpretation of some teachings, doctrines, traditions, and godly living. Who then is in the wrong?
ssabino01 exactly!!! Who’s wrong? Who’s right? That is why we need sola Scriptura! That is why Luther nailed the 95 thesis to the door. He realized that the CC was making up doctrines that had nothing to do with the Word of God to enrich the “church” by putting unfair burdens on to the congregation and even putting people to death... can you imagine that! Anyways, if Scripture is Gods Word and the work of the Holy Spirit then it IS the authority. So what “church” do you learn from or follow? The one that conforms to Scripture not the one that conforms Scripture to fit its need! Which what the CC was doing when the reformation began! Look, God is the same today as he was yesterday and will be tomorrow. His character does not change, so if some doctrine is contrary to his word than it is false!! Otherwise the Scripture is merely a “constitution” who’s interpretation is dependent on the current administration ie the pope.
Wonderful explanations! Thank you and may God bless you!🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

There are 2 passages of scripture which *DIRECTLY and UNEQUIVOCALLY* refute Sola Scriptura:
1 Timothy 3:15 RSV
if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth.
Ephesians 3:10 RSV
that through the CHURCH the manifold WISDOM of GOD might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places.
The wisdom of God is known, even to the intellectually superior angels, through the Church (not the Scriptures). This is an incredible verse, for it tells us that God's infinite wisdom comes to us through the Church. For that to happen, the Church must be protected from teaching error on faith and morals (or she wouldn't be endowed with the wisdom of God).
R. Zell 1 Timothy 3:15 is talking about how a church should be structured and about how the whole body of Christ should act Ephesians 3:10 is talking about scripture being fulfilled through Christ and the body of Christ. It is not talking about the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church is not infallible.
The church was being entrusted with the gospel ( the Word of God) THAT gospel IS the wisdom of God!
@@thefitzoff3386 Sorry dude, but 1 Tim 3:15 stands. Most of us have critical thinking skills and can read it for what it says. I think you are reading 1 Tim out of your faulty paradigm.
What does the household of God mean?
What does the 12 year old Jesus tell Mary in the Temple?
~49 And he said to them, “How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?
The Fathers House is now the Church and we ain't talking about buildings. The Church is the Pillar and Foundation of the Truth.
Funny about Ephesians 3:10 and the way you are presenting it. What makes known the Wisdom of God?
Christ established His Church and it is a divine institution. Where did one find the Apostolic Faith? They went to the infallible Apostles who made known the Wisdom of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit inspired Church and that Church is Catholic.
And you are absolutely correct that the Church is entrusted with the Gospel. And guess what?
*THE REFORMERS WERE NOT ENTRUSTED WITH THE GOSPEL. THEY CREATED MYRAIDS OF GOSPELS.*
R. Zell the church is the body of Christ... not a building. We as Christians are The temple of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit makes known the wisdom of God through the revelation of the Scripture. Any teachings or doctrines or gospel that do not line up with scripture are false
R. Zell when Christ went in the temple as a young man weren’t they not still under the law?
R. Zell where in scripture does it say the Apostles were infallible? Paul said he was the chief of sinners... even the Apostles would deny that claim of infallibility. Christ alone is infallible, and putting Apostles in that category could be seen as idolatry. Remember there is only 1 mediator between God and man and that’s Christ 1 Tim 2:5
I am from the Philippines and I like very much your very clear and substantial explanation..this will help me more ..I am praying for you and for all the Apologists of the Catholic Church....God bless you brother🙏😊
Thank you so much! May God bless you. Thanks for watching.
Amen kapatid even Peter about bible alone.
2 Peter 3:16
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
But Chruch like Quiboloy, Manalo and Bro Eli are trying to be "know it all" Pastors
I'm curious how protestants will react when the pre trib rapture doesn't happen.
Probably the same way Jehovah's Witnesses reacted when the world never ended when they claimed it would.
I have an old friend that's protestant that posted how they changed thier view of how to be saved. They said they read it in the bible themselves and now know the right way. I told them we both grew up being taught the wrong way and now they have this revelation there is a different way. Ironically the new revelation is wrong too. That's what happens when you go by the bible alone idea. That's why you can pass 5 to 10 different denominations on your drive home from work.
Exactly, all of them are reading the Bible and yet none of them can agree. I'm reading a book now on how the majority of Protestants Justified the slavery in America using the bible. And they called anyone who opposed slavery antichrists who didn't believe God or his Word. Crazy!
You don't just need the bible you need to be led by the holy spirit you can not just have bible without the holy spirit, jesus said I will send the helper and he will lead you into truth the Catholics are right.
Brian, Romans 3:28 says we are saved by faith alone --- Oh, sorry! Luther FALSELY added "alone" to Romans 3:28
Indeed, he did. He added to the word of God. The same thing you accuse Catholics of doing ironically.
Faith ALONE is a heresy
Catholic is the only true way!
So helpful and beautifully explained brother. Thank you my brother in Christ. So happy you and I are one in this
Amen. God bless you.
The Bible is important. But it is not the be all and end all. Show me the Bible passage where it says “And then Jesus picketh up the holy scriptures and readeth from…”
Nowhere. Jesus never once opened a Bible at any point in the New Testament.
Correct, Jesus never opened a non-existent book (The Bible) in the NT. But Jesus did read from scripture (OT) when he preached in the synagogues. Much of the Beatitudes is pulled from scripture. Jesus's whole ministry was about pointing to scripture and declaring that it was talking about him.
follow the Apostles they were Catholic
@@TriciaRP Jesus gave the keys to Saint Joseph not martin luther lol
sorry i mean Saint Peter
The teaching of sola scriptura made god so small for me.
We’ll Protestants for 11 centuries we had the dutrocanonical / Apocrypha books after the Bible was officially complied in 397 AD.
Let me ask you by what authority did Martin Luther remove those 7 books?
It’s just crazy to remove the books out of a Bible which was there for 11 centuries.
He also wanted to remove seven New Testament books as well. He rejected the Book of Revelation, Hebrews, James, and others. And yet people look to him for the Bible? Again, no authority and not a man to emulate or listen to.
Easy answer it wasn’t removed, it’s the Tenakh just not in the same order. It’s accepted by Catholics because it was translated with the Septuagint.
Luke 24 :44 Old Testaments not included apocrypha.

Sola Scriptura does not mean that everything must be found in the Bible; that is actually solo scriptura. Solo Scriptura means the Bible is the only authority. Sola Scriptura means scripture is the only final authority. Prima Scriptura means scripture is the primary final authority.
That is technically true, and I agree (though different protestants define it different ways. However, countless people (granted many self-taught people) use it in these additional ways mentioned as well. Thus, we chose to lump them all together since these are the arguments we hear all the time. In any case, none of it is biblical.
Echo of the voice In the wilderness
2 Thessalonians 2:15 (New American Standard Bible - NASB - Protestant Bible)
“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.”
You misrepresented what 2 Thessalonians 2:15 states. This passage does not support solo or sola scriptura; it actually refutes them.
Echo of the voice In the wilderness
It would be great if we were not disagreement with each other, but how can we do that when everybody interprets scripture through their own personal lens that is not 100% attuned to the illumination provided by the Holy Spirit?
Are you Catholic? Are you Orthodox? If neither, which denomination best represents your theology?

I’m confused. So are you stating that an individual is better at discerning between the voice of the Holy Spirit and Satan than the Magesterium is?

I'm Catholic (from Germany).
What I would rather like to know is the other way round..
Not if there can be found truth outside the bible or not. Bc. I'm sure there can (and is).
But if/how sth. that's in the bible is *not* law/guideline..
For example women covering their hair/head, as e.g. Mennonites do (1Korinth.11),
or eating no pork (from OldTestament)..
Can you/sb. explain?
Thank you so much!
There are different commands, Commandments, rituals, and beliefs in the Bible. Some of them are only temporary, some of them only apply to a certain people, place, and time, like the dietary laws of the Jews. Christians don't follow those because the dietary laws were dispensed of by Jesus. Also, the Old Testament says we are not allowed to wear cotton, and yet everybody does today. Because these were not binding on All Peoples for all times. It's the same with women wearing head coverings at mass, or even eating meat sacrificed to Idols. These were only for that day and for a specific reason. It's different then say, the moral law which is eternal and for everyone. Things like loving all people, The Ten Commandments, loving God above all things, and so on.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial
Thank you very much for your answer!! ♡
Ok. I see. So it's mostly about time/circumstances..
But to be honest, it's not easy to distinguish (at least for laymen).
The example with food restrictions is clear then of course, bc. Jesus "took it back" explicitly.
But for other examples, that are not revised in later passages explicitly, it's not easy.
Btw the thing with cotton I did not know!..
Once again thank you brother Brian. Godbless you for your ministry. I really want to donate but I myself am struggling to make ends meet. I will offer my rosaries, chaplets and prayers for you in the meantime sir.

This is perfect timing! I am making videos on Tiktok defending the Catholic faith and I keep getting questions such as "Where is that in the Bible?" This video will help.
Glad to hear it! Glad we could help! :)
What’s your tiktok?
In order for Sola Scripture to be valid, you would need something taken from the Bible along the lines of : " Thus saith the Lord : 'Behold , it shall come to pass in those days that I will raise up a group of noble men at a place called Nicaea , and it shall come to pass that there shall they canonize the correct compilation of books. And thou shalt accept those books as the authentic canon . Amen." no such commission exists.
I would agree, if Sola Scriptura meant all we believe is in the Bible.
But since that has never been the definition of Sola Scriptura this argument doesn't work.
@@thomasfryxelius5526 What is the definition of Sola Scriptura to you than?
@@hopeinchrist9412 The idea is that the Christian scriptures are the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice. Sola Scriptura asserts that scripture must govern over church traditions and interpretations which are themselves held to be subject to scripture.
It´s a claim that the Scriptures has higher authority than anything else in the Church.
@@thomasfryxelius5526 Do you know of any scripture in the bible that says that scripture has higher authority than anything in the church. Not examples of where scripture is stated as being important but where it specifically states that scripture is the highest authority?
@@hopeinchrist9412 - When Jesus condemns the pharisées for going against the Scripture to follow their traditions (Mk 7:1-13).
- When Paul says the Scripture is profitable for correction and teaching (2 Tim 3:16). So Timothy, a church leader, was supposed to correct not based on his authority but based on God´s authority in the Word.
- Act 5:29 where it says we must obey God rather than men, used to disobey religious leaders in order to obey God.
- When Jesus constantly settles matters based on Scriptures: "It is written..." showing the ultimate authority of Scripture. It wouldn´t have settled anything if there were other equal authorities.

@@kenadamson4535 I have never met any protestant who denies all the R.C. church teaches as they all believe in the trinity.
Catholic truth ....what other book could show the condition of man and his need for salvation thru Jesus Christ ....if you don't believe the bible is the word of God you will believe in any old nonsense,
As we said. The Holy Bible is a Catholic Book. We not only "believe in the Bible", we "created the Holy Bible." You think you know better than the creator of the Bible? If the Catholic Church did not compile and create the Holy Bible then you would probably be reading the Quran or the Torah only.
I absolutely love this.
I'm not Catholic. (Yet). But I've been reading my Bible more and more. And the more I read it, the more I think you guys (Catholics) have the right idea. I wasn't really raised in a church, so I suppose it's easier to see the truth, as opposed to my super Protestant friends. I know their teachings, and I can see how they aren't all accurate.
Another thing that most Christians believe is the Trinity, which is also not mentioned at all in the Bible.
Thank you for this video! Looking forward to watching many more from you!
The doctrine of the Trinity is found in Matthew 28:19 (and other places) where Jesus instructs the apostles: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” The dogma of the Trinity is very much believed and is at the heart of the Catholic Church.
The Bible also doesn't say God is omnipotent or omnipresent, yet we know He undeniably is.
Thank you. Nice presentation. Sola Scriptura is the most dishonest doctrine ever.
he is totally wrong ',study to show your self approved.'
1Corinthians 3:18-23. God bless us all.

“Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, 👉so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, 👈so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.”
1 Corinthians 4:6 NASB1995
Go beyond what it written where? If you are going to hold to this strictly, then we can't go by anything after the book of Corinthians. Of course, even most Protestants, including the Reformers, thought this was a bad argument, especially since the Bible tells us to hold to spoken tradition also (2 Thess. 2:15)
It is interesting that Paul says in 1 Timothy 3:15 - " so that, if I am delayed, you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the Church of the Living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. " The Church is the foundation of the truth - and thus the Church is the one that decides what scriptures should or should not be canonized ... the Church is the chicken that laid the egg , so-to-speak - egg being the Bible - not the other way around . In other words the Bible did not create the Church ... and it is only because of the Catholic Church's authority that we even have a Bible . 💜 ~ !!!

Council of Rome actually created the first Canon. 382 AD. Pope Damascus. St Jerome was issued to translate the same in Latin thus the Vulgate was born.
Yes they did. That is correct.
Brandon Ebeyer Jerome rejected the Apocrypha and translated it against his will.
@@hotwings80 True, but Jerome is not the Church, so that is irrelevant. Moreover, Jerome rejected them because he wanted the documents to be in Hebrew now just Greek. He rejected them because they were not in Hebrew and yet archeologists ended up finding copies in Hebrew in the Dead Sea Scrolls. So, Jerome would have accepted them after all.
Catholic Truth Pretty sure I remember reading he rejected them because he knew the Jews did not accept those books. I'll do some more research. Thank you.

John 20:30 : “Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book.” Where can we find these signs? Which one of the 40,000 denominations of Protestantism can reveal these to us?
R.C. Sproul always said, “The Bible is a fallible collection of infallible books.” I ask you, how can a fallible Church recognize what books are infallible? The man made dogma of sola scriptura is what lead me to become Catholic 28 years ago. Protests have no logical answers for the questions asked in this video.
And we might add that if the collection is fallible, then how do we know what is actually Scripture? How do we know some books were not added spuriously and how do we know others should not be there? Yes, no logical answers.
Most of the anti catholic comments are meritless and appear to have been penned by inebriated people.
Thanks!
Our doctrine does not contradict Paul. Not remotely. You only can say this if you cherry pick it out of context. What does the word believe mean? It certainly doesn't mean just an intellectual ascent? It's an action, a verb, something that's lived out. The red that's why Romans 10 which you are quoting also says that you must confess with your lips. So it's not just believing, it's also confessing. Other verses talk about the necessity of repenting from your sins. Repentance is a very. It's something you do. And you you clearly are ignoring all of the verses regarding baptism like John 3:5, mark 16:16, 1 and Peter 3:21 among others which says baptism "saves you."

a Catholic and Protestant about Sola Scriptura. It premieres in 3 days.
@@TriciaRP what is there to discuss? Historically protestants have an abridged bible. Luther rejected 7 books that had been in the bible since it was canonized. I dont mind that much, he can create his own church if he wants to do so. I just dont see how it can be divinely inspired. Jesus never mentioned a true church being formed 1500 years later; he does mention peter although in a roundabout fashion in matthew.
Different strokes for different folks.
Okay, so here's the thing. I'm Baptist, but I've been doing some research into Catholicism lately, because it's always important to be educated, especially in matters of God and His will. Now, I've always believed in Sola Scriptura, and never even thought to question it until recently, happening upon videos such as this. Now from what I gather, our Catholic brethren don't believe in Sola Scriptura, and believe that the Catholic traditions (while not usurping the authority of the Bible) are essential to understanding how God wants us to worship. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this). I feel that you brought up some very good points, such as how instrumental the Catholic Church was to the compilation and distribution of the Bible, and how before the Bible was officiated as being the Bible the apostles were the official authority when it came to matters of God, having been inspired by Him, and I don't deny that. But I don't believe that flies in the face of Sola Scriptura either. (Again, feel free to offer your thoughts). In your video you posed to us as Protestants several questions revolving around how the Bible in and of itself proves itself as the only or final authority, and if I may, I'd like to offer a response. Now, as we know, the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and it was inspired by God. However, it didn't become inspired by God because of the Catholic Church; it was inspired by God since long before the Catholic Church gave it the seal of approval, which you believe. However, if that's the case, then that means the Bible intrinsically proved itself as being the Word of God, despite not having any verses using such specific words, and the fact that the Catholic Church was able to recognize it as such (for the most part anyway) is proof of that. And if we accept that the Bible is intrinsically the word of God and is breathed from his very mouth, then it would stand to reason that it is the ultimate authority, the reason being that God is the ultimate authority, which of course you agree with. Now, as you stated, it's true that before the Bible was finished, the apostles were the primary authority on faith and practice, but since they are now gone, and the things they taught were recorded in the Bible, the Bible has now become our greatest revelation of God. For that reason I believe that any tradition should be measured up against it before being accepted into practice, effectively making the Bible the de facto ultimate authority on such matters. Of course this isn't to say that tradition isn't important, as it does help to give context in regards to how the scriptural passages ought to be interpreted. However, the Bible is God's word, as it has proven itself to be despite not having any verses claiming it as such, and so all traditions should be compared with it first in order for us to ensure completely accurate worship. For this reason, I do accept Sola Scriptura as being an accurate, biblical, and necessary principle.
I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on this, as I love learning more about God, and only desire to learn and understand the truth. Also, in case this explanation is a little long-winded, please feel free to address any confusions you have about anything I've said. Thank you in advance! 😁
Very well written Avery.
Catholics believe in sola verbum dei.Word of God alone....oral and written. Bible is the written and Catholic church is the oral. So, if you reject Catholic church, you really dont even know which books are in the New Testament. Prots accept New Testament so they accept Catholic church on that, why reject Catholic church on everything else? This is why Im a devout Catholic.
@@johnyang1420 That's a very interesting point, and I appreciate your perspective! But, here's my thing with that. As I'm sure you believe, the Catholic Church doesn't function on its own authority, right? It functions in God's authority. And, as we know, God is a consistent God; he doesn't just change his modus operandi all willy-nilly. That's one of the reasons why we trust him after all. So, if we have records of what God has said and done before, and what God commands us to do now from his very mouth (the Bible), everything else should be viewed in light of that. If the Catholic Church is consistent with the Bible, then we can trust that it is from God, as it claims to be. But if not, then it is not functioning on God's authority, but rather its own, which is of course susceptible to error.
@@AveryLagredelle That is quite right. If it is functioning in God's authority then it isn't going to outright contradict the bible (although I should perhaps say the correct interpretation of the bible, because one could interpret it in many ways, some of which are twisting it). But I have to ask, in saying this is there anything you think the Catholic Church is in disagreement with the bible over? If it's consistent it's God's authority, if it's inconsistent then it's of men right? So is it that you see inconsistencies? It's just that I'm always interested to know which ones people believe are there, as someone researching Catholicism myself I feel that if there are inconsistencies I have to find them.
@@agenzchristian7308 Well, one of the main inconsistencies I've found with the Catholic Church is what they believe to be true about salvation. You see, the Bible clearly (and repeatedly) states in no uncertain terms that the only thing required for salvation is to put your faith in Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, Acts 2:21, Acts 16:31, Romans 10:9, etc.) However, the Catholic Church insists that faith is only part of the salvation process, and that works are required in addition to your faith in order to truly be saved. In light of the verses I named above and many more, I think it's clear that the Bible does not teach this, and so I find the Catholic Church's beliefs on salvation inconsistent with the Word of God. I do believe there are other inconsistencies as well, but this one is one of the main ones for me.

When the first thing you see is "the bible is wrong" you know that this of Satan and not of our Lord Jesus Christ.
That is true. Except it doesn't say "the Bible is wrong" anywhere. It says the Bible ALONE is wrong, and it is. Hence the questions we ask in the video that Sola Scriptura people cannot answer.

19 So that the FACE OF A MAN was toward the PALM TREE on the one side, and the FACE OF A LION toward the PALM TREE on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
20 From the ground unto above the door were CHERUBIMS (ANGELS) and PALM TREES made, and on the wall of the temple.
21 The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the Lord.
23 And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24 And the doors had two LEAVES apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
25 And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, CHERUBIMS and PALM TREES, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.

After 400 years of silence God spoke again through John the Baptist, He continued to speak and for the last time through His Son and the Apostles, also validated by signs and wonders, also recorded and translated from Greek into many languages.

Jesus always referenced the Scriptures. It is written. Can you say that about your faith?
Jesus did not always reference Scripture. He's sometimes referenced Scripture, and sometimes he referenced things that were not in Scripture, and sometimes, most times, He spoke by his own authority.
Not only is it not biblical, it isn't even logical. The books in the new Testament were written after Christ died, and were based upon word of mouth and traditions. None of the 4 gospels are the same. The Catholic church determined which writings were divinely inspired, and which ones were not. Which writings would be included in the new testament was determined in the 4th century by the Catholic church. Many writings were excluded. If Sola /Solo Scriptura was true, then why are there over 30,000 protestant denominations? Why is the Methodist church the latest Protestant denomination having a reformation and splitting because part of it believe LGBT marriages are biblical and God's will, whereas the other part doesn't. How can that be since all Methodists purportedly believe in Sola Scriptura and that no church authority is needed to properly interpret the bible. 1.2 billion Catholics in the world, and 900 million protestants from 30,000+ denominations. There's a protestant church on every street corner, all interpreting the bible a little differently than the one across the street. ALL Christian denominations used to teach divorce, abortion, co habitation, children out of wedlock, adultery, LGBT relations and marriages, contraceptives, etc etc were immoral. Not any more. As long as your willing to give a protestant pastor 10% of your wages, you can find one that says it's o.k. to do anything. Once saved, always saved! Doesn't matter what you do. Just keep coming to church and giving the pastor 10%.
Sola scriptura... I don't buy it at all.
Rapture teaching got me feeling scandalized by the idea of bible alone; because this teaching came from a man's idea.
@@echoofthevoiceinthewildern3008 Copying and pasting your conspiracy theories again huh? Without any historical evidence or documentation. The fact is that the Protestants and the Orthodox and the Catholics all agreed on the Rapture until the 1700s when the modern-day Rapture was invented. Many Protestant churches have been swayed over to that new man-made belief. But it's certainly not the history or presenting. It was the Protestant churches who were in conflict with the Rome because they started new man-made doctrines and invented heretical teachings that Jesus never talk. Like in the Bible alone. Like faith alone. And much more. These things weren't heard of for well over a thousand years and no Christian taught them.
Every time I try to explain this stuff they always come back and say something about the Rosary? I always ask them to give me one primitive Christian name that taught before the 1,500s that you only need a bible to be saved and they cant answer it. I always ask them give me one name of one Christian before the 1,500s that preached that sacraments or Eucharist is not needed, and they always come back with something about Mary? Like I just don’t get why they cant see the error in their doctrine. No Christian before the 1500s preached this doctrine it was considered heresy and condemned if you taught that only the bible itself saves you and theres no such thing as sacraments. Its not rocket science.
That is because their history only goes back about 500 years. Most do not know any better and have not been exposed to the full truth which is why it's our job to evangelize them and point this out. Keep up the good work.
Catholic Truth thank you brother God bless you!
Cool strawman, but here's your answer: We protestants don't say all you need is the Bible. You can be saved without ever reading the Bible. We say all you need is Jesus. Without faith in Jesus your works mean nothing. Faith in Christ is sufficient for salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 would help you understand this plainly if Catholicism hadn't already taught you otherwise.
Of course the Bible doesn't teach us everything. It isn't meant to. It's meant to teach us about Christ to bring us to a saving faith. Thus it is good for reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness that you may be COMPLETE, equipped for EVERY good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17). How can the scripture equip us for every good work if it doesn't even mention much of Catholic tradition? Furthermore, James 2:20 teaches us good works come as a product of faith, not as a producer of salvation.
The issue isn't that Catholicism denies scripture alone. It's that Catholicism defies scripture and teaches in opposition to it. We only know this because we broke away from Catholicism in the Reformation because the Catholic church kept people from reading the scripture for themselves for so long so as to maintain authority and control. If Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven then it is the message of faith in Christ alone for salvation that is found in the scriptures he and the other Apostles wrote, and it has been loosed to all mankind despite the gates of Hell, and the Catholic Church, attempting to prevail against it.
How would you explain the parable of the Good Samaritan? Jesus told that parable in response to a question about how one can gain eternal life. Why did Jesus not answer by saying that faith in Jesus is needed to gain eternal life? Was Jesus trying to mislead the lawyer (scribe) who asked Him that question? Or did Luke misinterpret what Jesus told the scribe? If so, then the bible must have some errors. To answer your question about Catholic tradition, it is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:14. Paul makes the clear distinction between traditions learned by word and by their epistle. He also told the Thessalonians to stand fast and hold on to both of them (traditions learned by word or epistle). If all of Catholic tradition is already written in scripture, Paul did not need to make that distinction.
@@JB-ou6fl Jesus did not tell that parable in response to being asked how to inherit eternal life. To that, Jesus told him to do what was written in the Law: Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and love your neighbor as yourself (verses 26-28). Up until this point the law was the only way to eternal life because Christ had not yet died. Do you believe this man fulfilled this law? Have you fulfilled this law? I have not, therefore, I cannot inherit eternal life by following the law. My works are useless to that end. The parable was only to identify the "neighbor" in the passage. The man is still to love his neighbor, but it will not earn him eternal life.
Paul says to stand firm and hold to the traditions taught by "us". The "us" most likely refers to "Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy" (2 Thessalonians 1:1) who seem to have been working with the Thessalonians at the time. To extend this direction to mean "the teaching of all Catholic Popes and leaders throughout history" is a giant stretch. I'm not a history professor, but I'm willing to bet the church in question didn't have a copy of all of the rest of scripture (because they didn't have Bibles like we do), so Paul was most likely teaching them what he could either by written or spoken word.
@@lukegaier9490 based on your previous response, the Law does not mention faith at all. If only faith is needed to have eternal life, why did Jesus refer to the Law in His response to the question? Isn't that going to be confusing? Or is it because loving God and neighbor are also necessary for salvation? Why did Jesus not tell the scribe to just wait for Jesus to die and believe in order to be saved?
You can also refer to the parable of the sheep and goats in Matthew 25: 31-46. Why did Jesus talk about works as the basis for excluding people from the kingdom of God? Faith was not mentioned in that parable. It is also clear that Jesus referred to that parable in relation to the time after His death. Jesus said that it will be when the Son of Man will come in His majesty and all the nations will be gathered before Him.
Regarding your response regarding 2 Thessalonians, who did Paul work with aside from Sylvanus and Timothy? When the early Christians did not agree with Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15, who did they consult with? Was not Paul sent by the apostles to the gentiles according to Acts 15?
Different people can come up with their own interpretation of the bible. That is why there are so many Protestant Christian churches that do not agree with each other in their doctrine. But which one is telling the truth? At the end of the day, the important thing for me is authority. Who gave any of the Protestant churches the authority to interpret scripture? I can also come up with my own personal interpretation of the bible. It will be your word against mine unless we can refer to an authority to support what we believe.
For 1500 years after Jesus went back to heaven, the Catholic Church has been teaching the faith to Christians. Does it mean that Jesus allowed His teachings to be distorted until the Holy Spirit miraculously "enlightened" humanity 1500 years later?
In Matthew 28: 18-20, Jesus said that all power in heaven and earth (authority) was given to Him. Then He instructed the apostles to teach and baptize all nations. The Catholic Church traces its roots to Jesus and the apostles. Where do the Protestant churches trace their roots? That is an important question for me because anyone can make up their own interpretation of the bible. I also need to know why I should believe.
I am only responding to help with the discernment of people who are seeking the truth. You are free to believe what you wish to believe, but I hope that you are truly seeking the truth. God bless!
@@JB-ou6fl
Samaritan Parable:
Jesus was asked this question by an expert in the law in order to test Him concerning the law. Jesus answered him truthfully regarding the law. According to the law you must love God with all your heart, strength, etc. and love your neighbor as yourself to inherit eternal life. This is impossible. We all fail. That's His point.
What Jesus is saying to this man is, "you cannot inherit eternal life because you have already forfeited it by breaking the law." When the man tries to weasel out of it Jesus uses a parable to bring the man to testify against himself by showing him how even a Samaritan could be a better follower of the law than the priest or the Levite.
This man isn't looking for the Gospel, and even if he was Jesus hadn't even revealed His plan to His own disciples yet. Throughout His life Jesus teaches and acts as though under the law because they were under the law until the moment of His death. Upon His death a new covenant was made: A covenant in His blood for the forgiveness of sins. Only when our sins are forgiven do any of our works hold any weight. Therefore, a sinner at the end of their life can turn their heart to Jesus, like the thief on the cross, and be saved without works, or a sinner can turn their heart to Jesus and display that change throughout their life by their good works which result, not in salvation, but in a reward in addition to the gift of eternal life. I think 1 Corinthians 11-15 sums up everything I just said nicely:
"For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw- each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire."
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 ESV
Sheep and Goats:
God separates the sheep and the goats not based on their works, but based on their identity (sheep/saved or goat/unsaved). He judges the sheep specifically on their best actions, paying no mind to their sins, and gives them a reward for their good deeds on top of the free gift of Jesus that made them sinless and worthy of eternal life. Meanwhile, He judges the goats based only on their worst actions and sins, paying no mind to their good deeds, because good deeds are useless and rewardless without Jesus.
Regarding the Catholic and Protestant Churchs:
I think it's much less important to ask how we can trace our roots, and much more important to ask which group most accurately represents our roots, especially when our roots are still very well preserved, and so widely available today, in the Bible. The many different denominations of protestantism all agree on the core tenets of belief concerning salvation. What we disagree on are the small things that aren't explicit in scripture and don't specifically address salvation (otherwise it's a cult). The Catholic church, however, tends to nullify scripture to imply its own teaching. When we caught on to this (during the reformation), and the truth came out, the Catholics had to bend and warp the texts to read what they were teaching, similar to what you've been doing with passages here.
@@lukegaier9490 how can you be so certain that you are not the one corrupting the passages? Were you alive during the time of Jesus? Have you read an original copy of the Gospels or Paul's letters?
Anyone who is intelligent enough can read scripture and explain it in a way that supports their view. For example, if I show the bible to an Atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, and Protestant (from a different denomination than yours), I am confident that I will get four different interpretations of what they read. I am also confident that their interpretations will be different from your interpretation. I also read 1 Corinthians 11-15, which you used as an example and I arrived at a different conclusion from reading that text. So what is the true meaning of that text? Who decides that? It's your word against mine at this point.
It's all about credibility. Do you believe everything that you hear or read in the news? Or do you carefully consider the source of the news and its credibility? If you think that you or your church are more credible than the Catholic Church, then you need to prove it convincingly. As I mentioned before, the Catholic Church traces its roots to Jesus and the apostles. Where do the Protestant Churches trace their roots? Where do your views come from? I think that's an important way to determine credibility. I can start my own church tomorrow and teach that salvation is only for those that Jesus wants to save. Faith or good works do not matter. Is there any reason to believe the false doctrine that I just made up? If not, why should people reject that false doctrine?
You mentioned that the roots of Christianity are well preserved in the bible. But don't you realize that the bible as we know it today did not exist for hundreds of years after Jesus died? Are you saying that the roots of Christianity did not start during the time of Jesus but only after the bible was written?
In addition, how can you explain the many different translations of the bible? Moreover, the Protestant bible has a different number of books vs. the Catholic bible vs. the Eastern Orthodox bible. Who got it right? How can you jump to a conclusion without tracing the roots of each one to determine its credibility?
Your assertion that the Catholic Church tends to nullify scripture to imply its own teaching is false. There are plenty of Catholic apologetics on RUclips who can answer specific questions about Catholic teaching so I won't address those here. Catholic teaching also has Sacred Tradition in addition to Sacred Scripture. I think that this is causing confusion for our Protestant brothers and sisters. But that is the point of the video we are commenting about. Where in the bible is it clearly stated that the bible is the ONLY source of the truth?
If Jesus intended the bible to be the sole source of truth, why did Jesus not leave his apostles with a copy of the bible? It would have been easier if Jesus wrote the bible Himself. Instead, Jesus told the apostles to teach all nations what Jesus taught the apostles. Thus, Jesus gave the apostles the authority to teach the early Christians. The same authority the apostles received from Jesus was passed on to the Catholic Church until now through the apostolic succession. That is why I believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church.
I think that I've made my points already so it's time for me to move on. My questions are all rhetoric but feel free to respond if you want to explain your views. As I mentioned previously, my goal in responding to your post is to help people who are trying to discern the truth to find the truth that they seek. They can read our discussion to help them form their own conclusion.
Most people have a distorted view of Sola Scriptura. Luther and Melanchon upheld the Church Councilor definitions: Nicea etc. Luther constantly quotes the Early Church Father's and many Saints.
Thank you !!! Amen !!!
