You know it's a slow week in anti Catholic polemics when Voice of Reason has to respond to a puppet 😂😂😂😂 Great video either way. Alex should have made a Alex puppet to respond to the puppet. 😂😂
As a former Protestant, I’m always appalled when I hear them refer to someone as “dead”. In the Gospels, Jesus often refers to the dead as "asleep" or "sleeping." This language appears to indicate that physical death is not the end but rather a temporary state before resurrection. Here are some examples: 1. The story of Jairus's daughter - In Mark 5:39, when Jesus arrives at Jairus's home, he says, "The child is not dead but sleeping." The crowd laughs at him, but Jesus goes on to raise her, showing that what appears as death is, to him, akin to sleep, awaiting the power of God. 2. The raising of Lazarus- In John 11:11, Jesus tells his disciples, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him." When the disciples misunderstand, thinking Lazarus is simply resting, Jesus clarifies in John 11:14, "Lazarus is dead." Here, Jesus’s use of "sleep" reflects his view of death as temporary, emphasizing his power over it. 3. References to Resurrection- Jesus speaks about the dead in relation to the resurrection, promising that those who believe in him will live, even though they die (John 11:25-26). This language further reinforces that death is not final but leads to a new life through resurrection. By using terms like "sleep" and emphasizing the resurrection, Jesus frames death as a state from which God can awaken people, promising eternal life to those who follow him.
Thank you for this list! I get the same reaction from Protestants: Mary is dead; the saints are dead; Catholics are basically doing necromancy; etc. I literally reply with Jesus conquered death; when our bodies "die" we don't actually DIE. I think many Protestants are just not on the same page! Maybe not even in the same book... Anyway, these will be very helpful!
2 Corinthians 5:8 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition "But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
I actually had a small comment section "debate" with the puppet before about speaking in tongues. He is a pentecostal from what I remember and basically saying that if you don't speak in tongues you aren't a full Christian. He then turned off the comment section of the video because he was getting flamed.
I was able to corner an evangelical who tried this statement on me. I asked him where he would go when his time on earth is up. "To Heaven", he answered. "Would you be alive or dead?" "I would have eternal life" "Do you expect me to believe that Jesus would grant you eternal life and deny the privilege to his OWN Mother?"
Every person in Heaven died once, including Mary. Hebrews 9:27 ~ "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,". You need to read the Bible. People in Heaven cannot hear you, only Jesus. Did they become omnipresent to hear thousands or millions of prayer at the same time? John 14:6 ~ "I'm the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father, except through me", only Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 ~ "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," do you need someone in heaven so they can pray to Jesus? So between our only Mediator, Jesus Christ Himself, God himself, we need someone to talk to Jesus? Then Jesus will talk it to the father? It's really sad that the Jesus of Catholics has a hard heart, and Mary will petition it to Jesus, imagine hundreds of thousands of people in one day, prayed to Mary, now Mary will petition it to Jesus, what if there's an interval of 1 seconds for every prayer? So Mary is petitioning to Jesus every seconds? That's really sad and very tiring. Only Jesus is sufficient, that Just means, we can pray directly to God since He Himself is the God. If there are people who've read this and saying that we need Saints to pray/talk/petition to Jesus, then give me Bible verses. Please read the book, chapters and not just the verses, because other people aren't reading carefully. You guys will not find it in the Bible. The bible is not just tradition, it is living and active (I'm too lazy to find the verse for this passage). The bible is sufficient 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ~ "16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
Even Jesus prayed at the tomb where the dead body of Lazarus was lay down and even talk to it saying "Lazarus, come out" and Lazarus respond. No one is dead in Christ. Even we talk to our love one who is dead and not hear us they will hear us through Jesus Chist.
Bible actually shows the rule is that all die, then the resurrection/judgement (depending on version). therefore, Paul, like Mary, is dead. when God makes exceptions, it's noted and believed, but only when Scripture does verify it.
I talked to my local priest about this. He brought up a good point in that 2 Maccabees 15 proves intercession of those who are in heaven to the living on earth. Conveniently, most Protestants use the Bible that removed this book.
Voice of reason. You are one of the people i consider to be my spiritual teachers. You’ve helped me so much with understanding of the Catholic faith, of which i am a part of. So i have a question for you, i hope you respond. From my understanding, one of the consequences of original sin is that women now bear birthing pains. And when Mary gave birth to our Lord, she did not experience birthing pains due to the immaculate conception. So my question is, how am i supposed to reconcile Rev 12:2, and Mary being the woman described in it? Since the Woman described cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. This is not an argument, criticism, or a “gotcha”. Just me having a hard time understanding. The footnotes in my New American Catholic Bible says the pains were from original sin of Eve. Thank you for anyone whos reading willing to answer
Thanks for this video. I am in a hospital in Arizona recovering from surgery. Listening to a goon with 12:36 a South Valley accent makes me feel at home. Tell Fr. Artur I'm recovering slowly.
@@WilliamStrain-th4xw Intercessory prayer, just as with Mary and the saints. Saint Michael the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O' prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. "But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'" Jude 1:9 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued." Daniel 12:1
@@WilliamStrain-th4xw The verses 100% support what I'm saying. And again, it's an intercession prayer, we are asking St. Michael to pray to God just as we are praying to God. may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O' prince of the heavenly host, We are praying to God to "rebuke" the devil, and ask "and do thou" Michael to pray to God to "rebuke" the devil. In Jude 1:9, Michael prays to God to "rebuke" the devil. Daniel 12:1 refers to God's people who will be protected by Michael. "Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people" 🙏✝
Isn't it interesting, that with protestants Mary and the Saints are dead but their deceased loved ones are alive in heaven. They haven't figured out, you can't have it both ways.
For ME, a huge eye opener was understanding that the gospels were not just a biographical accounting of Jesus' life and ministry. But, ALSO were written as a theological narrative to highlight and draw attention to certain things that would have been taught face to face. The WAY words were used to describe those events were specifically chosen to draw the attention to a prior event. For example, St. John specifically says that when St. Peter denied Jesus it was at a "charcoal fire". The ONLY other time we see this phrase in the Bible is after Jesus' resurrection, Jesus is at a "charcoal fire" and asks St. Peter three times if he loves him. St. John is cluing us in, just in case we missed it, that these two events ARE linked. We see the same language being used to describe Mary and Jesus in her womb as the OT language was used to describe the Ark of the Covenant. We are SUPPOSED to see the correlation between the two of them. There are lots more of this in the Gospels. But until we realize this, it is easy to overlook. Protestants miss this because of how they are trying to interpret the scriptures. They miss these connections and contexts. Protestants are VERY influenced by a modern materialistic mindset that divides the physical and spiritual worlds. A mindset that did NOT exist when the Bible was written and understood by the early Christians.
What protestant need to start asking is why they do not have Saints..it means that protestant church do not have Holy People...maybe protestant is not really a church..what protestant do not know is that before Catholic Church canonized somebody as a Saint.The Church requires 2 miracles of these Saints...protestant do not have even just 1 Saints..they need to ponder that
We are saints. 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
@@po18guy-s4s yes that is the catholic formula which apparently the Catholic Church did not follow. Anyway the Bible says that Saints are those who keep the commands of God and faith in Jesus. So all true believers are saints.
In the book "Heaven is for real" the child that went to heaven said that only 2 beings in heaven are tangible, Jesus and Mary. And Mary has the demeanor of a loving mother.
As a former Protestant, I’ve learned Bible only means only the parts of the Bible that affirm their beliefs which they don’t all agree on. Let’s say we’re wrong about the Saints l… where’s their Priests with ability to forgive and retain sin like in John 20:23? Where’s their Eucharist like in Mark 26:26? Where’s their Apostolic Succession like 2 Tim 2:2? I love my Protestant brothers but we don’t make anything up.
🚨As a Catholic, I’m appalled at the level of ignorance that’s contributed to “saints”. As a teacher of scripture within the Catholic Church, saints as we know them today is not biblical at all❗️ Who did the Apostles considered Saints❓ Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior 🕊️“But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;” Acts 9:13 Who did Paul consider Saints❓Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior 🕊️”And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.” Acts 26:10 We can easily conclude that the Apostles referred to anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior and attempt to live by his teachings was called a saint. Therefore by default, anyone today who does the same is in fact given the right to be referred to as a saint❗️ Another fact is that not one individual who is considered a saint by the Catholic Church ever wanted to be considered a saint after death period❗️The purpose to their life was to point people to Christ, not themselves❗️Why should we refrain from asking anyone who the church deems as a saint for intercession❓⬇️ 1️⃣Who knows the secrets of every heart but our Father alone⁉️ 🕊️”Would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalms 44:21 2️⃣Who know the thoughts of every human being but our Father alone⁉️ 🕊️”The Lord, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” Psalms 94:11 3️⃣Did our Father not claim that we are ALL sinners⁉️ 🕊️”Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 4️⃣How can any mere human pass judgment before our Father and render someone a saint after death⁉️ 🕊️”But it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.” Psalms 75:7 It is our Father alone who can render someone a saint AFTER they have been judged by HIM because ONLY he knows their heart and thoughts‼️ 5️⃣Is performing miracles a sign of “sainthood” or simply one of many gifts given by the Holy Spirit ❓ 🕊️”To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 We can easily conclude that performing miracles is simply one of many gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit who are on the same level as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing etc. People who perform miracles aren’t meant to be elevated in anyway above others but are given that gift for the common good‼️ 6️⃣Do we have the right to elevate anyone above other as “saints” after death simply because they performed miracles⁉️Do performing miracles guarantee anyone’s passage to our Father’s kingdom⁉️ 🕊️“Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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 evildoers.” Matthew 7:21-23 Are “mighty works” done in Jesus’ name not considered miracles⁉️ Is prophesying in Jesus’ name not a quality found amongst those considered “saints”⁉️ and yet Jesus said “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers”‼️ because ONLY God knows a persons heart & thoughts‼️ Worst is the fact that Christians pray for intercession to these “saints” as they confirm their own judgement on these individuals without realizing that they might not even be in heaven‼️Might not even be in the presence of our Father‼️ The ONLY ones we know that are free from sin is our Father, Jesus and our Heavenly Mother‼️ 🕊️”Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.” The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:20 🕊️”Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart.

For Protestant believer "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living." (Matthew 22:32) For Catholic believers In my opinion, It seems that a gap in understanding has arisen because Protestantism teaches that the woman in the Book of Revelation represents Israel.
The Woman in Revelation 12 cannot be Israel since chapter 11 ended with John seeing the Ark of The Lord in his temple in heaven. Chapter 12 continued to describe how the Ark appeared in heaven looked like, "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars." (Rev. 12, 1.) There are a lot of things they have claimed to represent Israel, anything but the Ark, the Throne of The Lord.
@@hungthinhao7890 Protestants make that argument, not me. They say it’s based on Joseph’s dream. Personally, I find the Orthodox and Catholic sides more appealing. Since there are more Catholics than Orthodox in Korea, I'm receiving catechism at a Catholic church, so I'm not entirely sure.
@BlueMoon-BloodMoon I am really sorry for the confusion. I only want to add my own opinion into yours regarding the Revelation 12. Since I believe that Christian in ancient time didn't see the division that we call chapters and verses nowadays in the Holy Scriptures. This must be the way they understood image of The Woman in Revelation is indeed Mary, not Israel. Thus, she is called the new Eve (the name means The Woman in Genesis), the new Ark of The Covenant and the Bear of Jesus, who set up the new Convenant between God and Men. God bless!
We still don't know whether it is talking about Israel or Mary, but one thing is sure, Mary is not the Mother Of God, only the flesh of man, Jesus. Jesus is God, He didn't came from anyone, He existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit before the world was created. Where is the passage saying that Mary can hear my prayers, your prayers or everyone's prayers? Sure that it's not written in the Bible, but, where did the idea came from? Jesus is the only mediator, do we need someone to petition our prayer to this hardened heart of Jesus made by Catholics? So, saints and Mary can hear prayers regardless of time, distance, and how many are praying? Did they become omnipresent like God? Where in the bible stated those gifts? It's sad that the early christians departed from the biblical teaching and treated it as "tradition", Moses, David, Solomon, Apostles, and those authors of the Bible, are just tradition? Israelites treated the old testament as sacred, and not tradition, apostles treated it like that too. Even Jesus Himself, asking "have you not read in the Scripture"? So is scripture tradition only? Think, please.
God asked us to help one another, to love one another as brothers and sisters, as His children. It’s just right that we ask each other to pray for us. So if Protestants believe that they will go to Heaven when they die, don’t they believe that the Saints and the Archangels are with God in heaven? Besides the Book of Revelation described that God is not by himself in heaven.
How to know if they are incorrupt? Protestants have ZERO incorrupt "saints" AND: 2 Kings 13:21 And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Eli′sha; and as soon as the man touched the bones of Eli′sha, he revived, and stood on his feet.
Favorite arguments of protestan to Catholics is why do you pray to dead people..??and the answer is Saints are not dead people..they are Holy People who are already in Heaven..so they are the alive people since they already Have eternal life..but what protestant need to start asking is why they dont have Saints..??how come protestant dont have even just one Holy people..they need to start asking these questions to their martin luther successor or calvin successor or to their smartest scholar..??how come protestant was not able to produce Holy People called Saints

@Antonio.R.O.C. I am appalled at the level of heretical and schismatic view of protestant..they cannot accept the fact the Catholic Church. Compiled the Bible in 3rd century and protestant borrow that Bible in 15th century..protestants are not the originals that's why because of their misinterpretation of the Bible protestant church is now 40,000 denomination and continues to split some more..while the Catholic Church is still 1 Church..."One Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church
Jesus is her son. Jesus said, whoever drinks the water I give shall never die. You would think that as his mother, she has always been drinking the water he gives 😅 Of course that's not a theological reasoning, but as a Catholic, I can quote the bible to defend my faith. This western mentality of lack of "parental honor" is really what drives protestantism. For us Asian it is not a hard to understand that Jesus, who is God, can honor his mother by taking her to heaven (body and soul) and making her the queen of heaven. And in Asian culture, who doesn't ask help from their parents or friends of their parents or friends? Protestantism which is a western concept does not understand "family-ties". As faithful believers, are we not part of one family? And yet protestants don't know how to interact with family members (the saints). It is really a pity.
Bro these protestants are all expert theologians now. They regurgitate crap off each other and swear they're onto something that no one else has heard. Not one of them actually studies that Catechism though. Literally EVERYTHING is on there. How it all ties in to each other. The cool revelations. The "Did you know?" things. for example.... DID YOU KNOW that the Ark of the Covenant of the Old Testament carried God inside? It was meant to be built perfect. and just as with the New Covenant... Mary was the New Ark and she contained Jesus (God) and was made perfect (by God's grace "AKA Hail Mary full of grace").
And Jesus said God is the God of the LIVING NOT the dead you are very much mistaken. So you would say to Jesus your beautiful and Immaculate mum is dead what a dreadful blasphemy. Those in Heaven are more alive than we are! And protestant’s worship Satan. The holy Catholic Church is Jesus Christ himself on earth.
Protestants who say Mary and the Saints are dead clearly don't believe in Jesus' teachings and therefore are really not christian. Jesus clearly made a distinction about what it really means to be dead or alive by saying that people can be bodily alive but are actually dead when they don't abide in Him. And people can be bodily dead but are infact alive because they abide in Him. Being bodily alive or dead has nothing to do with the life and death Jesus was talking about.
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Our body is the framework where our spirit dwells in. A body without spirit, is DEAD. and how you acquite spirit? Through Christ. And everyone who are in Christ is ALIVE. in first dead. The soul/spirit leaves the BODY and judged according to his/her works. If they are perfected, holy, pure, clean soul/spirit, they can enter heaven. Simple as that. PROTESTANT dont know this because they dont have the fullness of truth. Which found only in APOSTOLIC CHURCH which is the house of God and not in protestant or martin luther. 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Where in the bible can I find that Mary has the ability to hear my prayers, your prayers or everyone's prayer? It's very important to question this. If the bible didn't mention it, when did it started and where did it started? Where did it came from? Friends, please do not believe what anyone says about God, only believe the Bible. Why? Because it is the message of God to us, not just tradition.
An important question is where in the bible that says you have to find all proof in the bible? You can find that NOWHERE in the bible. The bible was written in different times and by different people. The books in the bible was collated by the Church. So where in the bible says that the books in the bible should be there? There are many books then that were not included in the bible. So it is by the power of the Catholic Church, established by Christ, gave the canon of scriptures to comprise the bible. Before you use and argue the bible against Catholics, please learn first where you got the bible. You are just borrowing our bible.
@pebsstonesteel1424 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ~ "16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Hebrews 4:12 ~ "12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Is the bible complete? Yes, the New testament is the Revelation of the Old testament, Jesus is the Revelation of the Old Testament, Jesus is the Tabernacle, Jesus is the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus is the sheep when Abraham stopped by God from sacrificing His Son, it is also Jesus reference when God covered Adam and Eve on their nakedness when they've learned that they are naked, Jonah in the mouth of the big fish for 3 days is also a foreshadowing of Jesus 3 days dead. A lot of stories in the old testament, has a foreshadowing of Jesus. Is the word of God Alive? Yes, we have 5-7 billion copies around the world, more than the believers (at least alive believers) is the Bible complete? Yes, the Apostles and Prophets are the foundation of Christianity, while Jesus is a cornerstone. We no longer have new revelations. Anything that is not in the bible, can't be backed up, and contradicts the bible is a lie.
@@pebsstonesteel1424 the bible is composed by 40 authors, it was written in a period of 1500 years, although the authors didn't leave in the same millennium, century, decades or years, they're not contradicting each other. Yes, the bible is composed of 66 books. So anything other than that, is wrong. The Roman Catholic tried adding books in the bible, which is contracting to its content, so that's not gonna work. What God allowed will happen, it is God's will that we have 5-7 billion copies of the bible.
🕊️The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D. Church: 📖"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)] Bishop, Priest & Deacon: 📖“Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)]. Eucharist: 📖“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)]. Scripture: 📖“[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)]. Sunday: 📖“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)]. Actions/Works: 📖“We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)]. Apostolic Succession: 📖“It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)] Baptism: 📖“The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confession: 📖“After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confirmation: 📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215). Peter’s Authority: 📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)]. These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D. Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️ Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it. This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it. 🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15 We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
🚨Biblical and historical ignorance on full display❗️ ALL Christian historians from every denomination have confirm that the Holy Spirit picked the Catholic Church to compile the Bible, specifically the New Testament❗️ A Bible verse that’s clearly found within every Catholic Bible as well as every Protestant Bible which predates the reformation and the removal of 7 books by Protestant is as follows⬇️ 🕊️”And if any one 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.” Revelation 22:19🔥 This verse alone proves why the Protestant church is a false religion❗️
Please as Catholics let’s always correct Protestants when they naively refer to our Blessed Mother solely as “Mary”. Gently correct them and say the Blessed Virgin Mary 🙏
nothing in Scripture says she remained virgin (lousy wife). in fact, the Bible says the opposite, she did 'know' Joseph. and she is dead/sleeping now, hearing nothing. nothing in Scripture suggests we pray to other sinners/humans.
@@spencerbungard3152 no, i stated that a woman has a duty to her spouse and you're suggesting she didn't fulfill it, which would make her a lousy wife. again, Scripture states she did 'know' Joseph. so your theory isn't founded on Truth.
@@tony1685 my theory? You mean the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church’s teaching? Let’s say that you don’t agree with Blessed Mary’s Perpetual Virginity, why would you not refer to her as Blessed as prescribed in Luke 1:48 “from now on all generations will call me Blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His name”. You’re either an anathema to the Church (future generations), a contradictory Protestant or you’re plain and simply in error and need to repent of your heresy.
🚨A lukewarm Catholic unable to address this properly only leads others astray❗️So let me educate this lukewarm properly with the following⬇️ 🚨As a Catholic, I’m appalled at the level of ignorance that’s contributed to “saints”. As a teacher of scripture within the Catholic Church, saints as we know them today is not biblical at all❗️ Who did the Apostles considered Saints❓ Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior 🕊️“But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;” Acts 9:13 Who did Paul consider Saints❓Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior 🕊️”And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.” Acts 26:10 We can easily conclude that the Apostles referred to anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior and attempt to live by his teachings was called a saint. Therefore by default, anyone today who does the same is in fact given the right to be referred to as a saint❗️ Another fact is that not one individual who is considered a saint by the Catholic Church ever wanted to be considered a saint after death period❗️The purpose to their life was to point people to Christ, not themselves❗️Why should we refrain from asking anyone who the church deems as a saint for intercession❓⬇️ 1️⃣Who knows the secrets of every heart but our Father alone⁉️ 🕊️”Would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalms 44:21 2️⃣Who know the thoughts of every human being but our Father alone⁉️ 🕊️”The Lord, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” Psalms 94:11 3️⃣Did our Father not claim that we are ALL sinners⁉️ 🕊️”Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23 4️⃣How can any mere human pass judgment before our Father and render someone a saint after death⁉️ 🕊️”But it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.” Psalms 75:7 It is our Father alone who can render someone a saint AFTER they have been judged by HIM because ONLY he knows their heart and thoughts‼️ 5️⃣Is performing miracles a sign of “sainthood” or simply one of many gifts given by the Holy Spirit ❓ 🕊️”To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 We can easily conclude that performing miracles is simply one of many gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit who are on the same level as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing etc. People who perform miracles aren’t meant to be elevated in anyway above others but are given that gift for the common good‼️ 6️⃣Do we have the right to elevate anyone above other as “saints” after death simply because they performed miracles⁉️Do performing miracles guarantee anyone’s passage to our Father’s kingdom⁉️ 🕊️“Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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 evildoers.” Matthew 7:21-23 Are “mighty works” done in Jesus’ name not considered miracles⁉️ Is prophesying in Jesus’ name not a quality found amongst those considered “saints”⁉️ and yet Jesus said “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers”‼️ because ONLY God knows a persons heart & thoughts‼️ Worst is the fact that Christians pray for intercession to these “saints” as they confirm their own judgement on these individuals without realizing that they might not even be in heaven‼️Might not even be in the presence of our Father‼️ The ONLY ones we know that are free from sin is our Father, Jesus and our Heavenly Mother‼️ 🕊️”Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.” The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:20 🕊️”Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.” 1 Corinthians 4:5 🕊️”To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One.” Isaiah 40:25 🕊️“There is none holy like the Lord, there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2 7️⃣Why are the majority of Catholics wrong about saints❓ 🕊️”Jesus said to them, “Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?” Mark 12:24
Ye are saved by Grace through Faith not of your works " The emphasis is on Grace not Faith, The Grace comes through the Communion received as a Mother that feeds her Baby, taken directly to the mouth, for hands denote wages of one's work, Nevertheless Faith has its works within, for Faith without works is dead Render unto God what is to God: FAITH, without which it is not possible to please God but surely not a Leavened/Corrupted Faith as in Protestantism's Faith Only Unto Abraham said he " I will bless them that bless you -- & " Your seed shall be like the sands and stars WHICH SEED ARE THE SEED OF FAITH , even as God is God of all, not a respector of persons, not a Tribal god, who is not in the habit of making different covenants for different people, neither a plan A or Plan B, nor dispensations of time for one who has no time, as preached by the Prophets of Babylon, What specifically Consistite the Faith ? Answer :: THE TWO COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE, denoted by the Bronze image of St Peter in Peters Basilica-- The Two Commandments of Love that hang in the two keys of heaven, The Universal Doctrine of the Catholic Faith, Consistent with the Sacred Heart of Jesus -- The Two Commandments of Love that Burns in his Heart, God is Love & Love has its works, In the Two Commandments hang all of the Law & the Prophets, Even as said Jesus " I am come not to destroy the law & the prophets but to fullfill " & when he would have Judged man by the Two Commandments it would amount to fulfilling the law & the prophets Revelations : The Elect of God who keep the Commanments & have his testimony , A Visionary stood before Our Lord as did Daniel & John, the beloveds , Eyes of fire, unable to look at it, feet as of fine brass, voice of a multitude/many waters & beside him stood Our Lady with the same features, in their Glory, except that one was Male & the other Female, The Visionary in spirit heard his official name being called from a far off, then was Our Lady in Glory beside him with a book in hand asking him to look for his name in it He did recognize his name in it, at the same time witnessed a Lake, silvery in color, dead still, death itself, The Prophesied Lake of fire for those whose names are not found in it , Even as the Bible states " See that your names are not Blotted out (unrecognizble) from the Lambs book of life, Gnosticism/Protestantism/Judaism rather Talmudism Refuted This is how one was placed before God Allmighty, A Visionary in spirit was instructed by the Holy Spirit to kneel, with both hands straight down at the sides, palms open, and facing forward, head lifted up when he sees a DARK & FRIGHTENING CLOUD above, and from his mouth utters The Lords Prayer, as Jesus taught, No any other words , Thats all Note, before the presence of the Allmighty God even the hands are not raised Refer to the Posture of the humble Our Lady of Grace,

Where does anyone biblically , pray to people who are no longer with us. In the Old and New Testaments. Can anyone give me one example. I don’t mean pray for , I mean pray to.

As a former Protestant, I’m always appalled when I hear them refer to someone as “dead”. In the Gospels, Jesus often refers to the dead as "asleep" or "sleeping." This language appears to indicate that physical death is not the end but rather a temporary state before resurrection. Here are some examples:
1. The story of Jairus's daughter - In Mark 5:39, when Jesus arrives at Jairus's home, he says, "The child is not dead but sleeping." The crowd laughs at him, but Jesus goes on to raise her, showing that what appears as death is, to him, akin to sleep, awaiting the power of God.
2. The raising of Lazarus- In John 11:11, Jesus tells his disciples, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him." When the disciples misunderstand, thinking Lazarus is simply resting, Jesus clarifies in John 11:14, "Lazarus is dead." Here, Jesus’s use of "sleep" reflects his view of death as temporary, emphasizing his power over it.
3. References to Resurrection- Jesus speaks about the dead in relation to the resurrection, promising that those who believe in him will live, even though they die (John 11:25-26). This language further reinforces that death is not final but leads to a new life through resurrection.
By using terms like "sleep" and emphasizing the resurrection, Jesus frames death as a state from which God can awaken people, promising eternal life to those who follow him.
Thank you for this list! I get the same reaction from Protestants: Mary is dead; the saints are dead; Catholics are basically doing necromancy; etc. I literally reply with Jesus conquered death; when our bodies "die" we don't actually DIE. I think many Protestants are just not on the same page! Maybe not even in the same book...
Anyway, these will be very helpful!
But if they are "asleep" how can they answer our prayers?

Well there's more material, that's why
I was able to corner an evangelical who tried this statement on me. I asked him where he would go when his time on earth is up.
"To Heaven", he answered.
"Would you be alive or dead?"
"I would have eternal life"
"Do you expect me to believe that Jesus would grant you eternal life and deny the privilege to his OWN Mother?"
Every person in Heaven died once, including Mary. Hebrews 9:27 ~ "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,". You need to read the Bible. People in Heaven cannot hear you, only Jesus. Did they become omnipresent to hear thousands or millions of prayer at the same time?
John 14:6 ~ "I'm the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father, except through me", only Jesus.
1 Timothy 2:5 ~ "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," do you need someone in heaven so they can pray to Jesus? So between our only Mediator, Jesus Christ Himself, God himself, we need someone to talk to Jesus? Then Jesus will talk it to the father?
It's really sad that the Jesus of Catholics has a hard heart, and Mary will petition it to Jesus, imagine hundreds of thousands of people in one day, prayed to Mary, now Mary will petition it to Jesus, what if there's an interval of 1 seconds for every prayer? So Mary is petitioning to Jesus every seconds? That's really sad and very tiring. Only Jesus is sufficient, that Just means, we can pray directly to God since He Himself is the God.
If there are people who've read this and saying that we need Saints to pray/talk/petition to Jesus, then give me Bible verses. Please read the book, chapters and not just the verses, because other people aren't reading carefully. You guys will not find it in the Bible.
The bible is not just tradition, it is living and active (I'm too lazy to find the verse for this passage). The bible is sufficient 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ~ "16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

I smoke meth because the bible does not prohibit it.

Voice of reason. You are one of the people i consider to be my spiritual teachers. You’ve helped me so much with understanding of the Catholic faith, of which i am a part of. So i have a question for you, i hope you respond. From my understanding, one of the consequences of original sin is that women now bear birthing pains. And when Mary gave birth to our Lord, she did not experience birthing pains due to the immaculate conception. So my question is, how am i supposed to reconcile Rev 12:2, and Mary being the woman described in it? Since the Woman described cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. This is not an argument, criticism, or a “gotcha”. Just me having a hard time understanding. The footnotes in my New American Catholic Bible says the pains were from original sin of Eve. Thank you for anyone whos reading willing to answer
Thanks for this video. I am in a hospital in Arizona recovering from surgery. Listening to a goon with 12:36 a South Valley accent makes me feel at home. Tell Fr. Artur I'm recovering slowly.
praying for you bro 🙏🏾
Protestants often forget that the angels are also saints, and they are very much alive. Saint Michael, pray for us. Saint Gabriel, pray for us. 🙏
Where are we ever told to pray to an angel?
@@WilliamStrain-th4xw Intercessory prayer, just as with Mary and the saints.
Saint Michael the archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil,
may God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O' prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
"But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'"
Jude 1:9
“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued."
Daniel 12:1
@@Hospitaller1099 None of those verses support what you are saying or praying to an angel. Daniel 12:1 is about Israel, not the catholic church.
@@WilliamStrain-th4xw The verses 100% support what I'm saying. And again, it's an intercession prayer, we are asking St. Michael to pray to God just as we are praying to God.
may God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O' prince of the heavenly host,
We are praying to God to "rebuke" the devil, and ask "and do thou" Michael to pray to God to "rebuke" the devil.
In Jude 1:9, Michael prays to God to "rebuke" the devil.
Daniel 12:1 refers to God's people who will be protected by Michael.
"Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people"
🙏✝
@@Hospitaller1099 Why pray to Michael when you can pray to the Lord?
I love when you debate puppets
Isn't it interesting, that with protestants Mary and the Saints are dead but their deceased loved ones are alive in heaven. They haven't figured out, you can't have it both ways.
Mark 12:27, Matthew 22:32, Luke 20:38, Isaiah 25:6-9, Isaiah 26:6-9, and Revelation 21:1-6. Seem completely ignored by these types of folks
For ME, a huge eye opener was understanding that the gospels were not just a biographical accounting of Jesus' life and ministry. But, ALSO were written as a theological narrative to highlight and draw attention to certain things that would have been taught face to face. The WAY words were used to describe those events were specifically chosen to draw the attention to a prior event.
For example, St. John specifically says that when St. Peter denied Jesus it was at a "charcoal fire". The ONLY other time we see this phrase in the Bible is after Jesus' resurrection, Jesus is at a "charcoal fire" and asks St. Peter three times if he loves him. St. John is cluing us in, just in case we missed it, that these two events ARE linked.
We see the same language being used to describe Mary and Jesus in her womb as the OT language was used to describe the Ark of the Covenant. We are SUPPOSED to see the correlation between the two of them.
There are lots more of this in the Gospels. But until we realize this, it is easy to overlook. Protestants miss this because of how they are trying to interpret the scriptures. They miss these connections and contexts. Protestants are VERY influenced by a modern materialistic mindset that divides the physical and spiritual worlds. A mindset that did NOT exist when the Bible was written and understood by the early Christians.
What protestant need to start asking is why they do not have Saints..it means that protestant church do not have Holy People...maybe protestant is not really a church..what protestant do not know is that before Catholic Church canonized somebody as a Saint.The Church requires 2 miracles of these Saints...protestant do not have even just 1 Saints..they need to ponder that
We are saints.
1 Corinthians 1:2
To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
Pope John XXIII was canonized as a saint without authenticated miracles. Wasn’t he?
@@ThatGuy-nr5sp The formula is two miracles. But John Paul II got all the fanfare.
@@joelauretta4067 Have you been sanctified? How?
@@po18guy-s4s yes that is the catholic formula which apparently the Catholic Church did not follow.
Anyway the Bible says that Saints are those who keep the commands of God and faith in Jesus. So all true believers are saints.
In the book "Heaven is for real" the child that went to heaven said that only 2 beings in heaven are tangible, Jesus and Mary. And Mary has the demeanor of a loving mother.
As a former Protestant, I’ve learned Bible only means only the parts of the Bible that affirm their beliefs which they don’t all agree on. Let’s say we’re wrong about the Saints l… where’s their Priests with ability to forgive and retain sin like in John 20:23? Where’s their Eucharist like in Mark 26:26? Where’s their Apostolic Succession like 2 Tim 2:2? I love my Protestant brothers but we don’t make anything up.
Are you sure puppet!😂
i can respect that he at least tried to represent us correctly, most prots wont do ANY research and say we worship saints 💀
To paraphrase what Michael Lofton from reason and theology said. Don't receive your theology from a muppet.

He lets the brains do the talking.
🚨As a Catholic, I’m appalled at the level of ignorance that’s contributed to “saints”. As a teacher of scripture within the Catholic Church, saints as we know them today is not biblical at all❗️
Who did the Apostles considered Saints❓ Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior
🕊️“But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;” Acts 9:13
Who did Paul consider Saints❓Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior
🕊️”And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.” Acts 26:10
We can easily conclude that the Apostles referred to anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior and attempt to live by his teachings was called a saint. Therefore by default, anyone today who does the same is in fact given the right to be referred to as a saint❗️
Another fact is that not one individual who is considered a saint by the Catholic Church ever wanted to be considered a saint after death period❗️The purpose to their life was to point people to Christ, not themselves❗️Why should we refrain from asking anyone who the church deems as a saint for intercession❓⬇️
1️⃣Who knows the secrets of every heart but our Father alone⁉️
🕊️”Would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalms 44:21
2️⃣Who know the thoughts of every human being but our Father alone⁉️
🕊️”The Lord, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” Psalms 94:11
3️⃣Did our Father not claim that we are ALL sinners⁉️
🕊️”Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23
4️⃣How can any mere human pass judgment before our Father and render someone a saint after death⁉️
🕊️”But it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.” Psalms 75:7
It is our Father alone who can render someone a saint AFTER they have been judged by HIM because ONLY he knows their heart and thoughts‼️
5️⃣Is performing miracles a sign of “sainthood” or simply one of many gifts given by the Holy Spirit ❓
🕊️”To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
We can easily conclude that performing miracles is simply one of many gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit who are on the same level as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing etc. People who perform miracles aren’t meant to be elevated in anyway above others but are given that gift for the common good‼️
6️⃣Do we have the right to elevate anyone above other as “saints” after death simply because they performed miracles⁉️Do performing miracles guarantee anyone’s passage to our Father’s kingdom⁉️
🕊️“Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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 evildoers.” Matthew 7:21-23
Are “mighty works” done in Jesus’ name not considered miracles⁉️ Is prophesying in Jesus’ name not a quality found amongst those considered “saints”⁉️ and yet Jesus said “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers”‼️ because ONLY God knows a persons heart & thoughts‼️
Worst is the fact that Christians pray for intercession to these “saints” as they confirm their own judgement on these individuals without realizing that they might not even be in heaven‼️Might not even be in the presence of our Father‼️
The ONLY ones we know that are free from sin is our Father, Jesus and our Heavenly Mother‼️
🕊️”Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.” The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:20
🕊️”Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.” 1 Corinthians 4:5
🕊️”To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One.” Isaiah 40:25
🕊️“There is none holy like the Lord, there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2
7️⃣Why are the majority of Catholics wrong about saints❓
🕊️”Jesus said to them, “Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?” Mark 12:24
hey boss, whatever happened to debating or discussing with needGod?
Bro ran out of Protestants to talk to he had to respond to a puppet
For Protestant believer
"I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not the God of the dead but of the living." (Matthew 22:32)
For Catholic believers
In my opinion, It seems that a gap in understanding has arisen because Protestantism teaches that the woman in the Book of Revelation represents Israel.
The Woman in Revelation 12 cannot be Israel since chapter 11 ended with John seeing the Ark of The Lord in his temple in heaven. Chapter 12 continued to describe how the Ark appeared in heaven looked like, "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars." (Rev. 12, 1.) There are a lot of things they have claimed to represent Israel, anything but the Ark, the Throne of The Lord.
@@hungthinhao7890 Protestants make that argument, not me. They say it’s based on Joseph’s dream. Personally, I find the Orthodox and Catholic sides more appealing. Since there are more Catholics than Orthodox in Korea, I'm receiving catechism at a Catholic church, so I'm not entirely sure.
@BlueMoon-BloodMoon I am really sorry for the confusion. I only want to add my own opinion into yours regarding the Revelation 12. Since I believe that Christian in ancient time didn't see the division that we call chapters and verses nowadays in the Holy Scriptures. This must be the way they understood image of The Woman in Revelation is indeed Mary, not Israel. Thus, she is called the new Eve (the name means The Woman in Genesis), the new Ark of The Covenant and the Bear of Jesus, who set up the new Convenant between God and Men.
God bless!
@@BlueMoon-BloodMoon "They say" they are saved.
We still don't know whether it is talking about Israel or Mary, but one thing is sure, Mary is not the Mother Of God, only the flesh of man, Jesus. Jesus is God, He didn't came from anyone, He existed with the Father and the Holy Spirit before the world was created. Where is the passage saying that Mary can hear my prayers, your prayers or everyone's prayers? Sure that it's not written in the Bible, but, where did the idea came from? Jesus is the only mediator, do we need someone to petition our prayer to this hardened heart of Jesus made by Catholics? So, saints and Mary can hear prayers regardless of time, distance, and how many are praying? Did they become omnipresent like God? Where in the bible stated those gifts? It's sad that the early christians departed from the biblical teaching and treated it as "tradition", Moses, David, Solomon, Apostles, and those authors of the Bible, are just tradition? Israelites treated the old testament as sacred, and not tradition, apostles treated it like that too. Even Jesus Himself, asking "have you not read in the Scripture"? So is scripture tradition only? Think, please.
Puppet, you err greatly!
I hope that puppet is made of Nomex®
He didn't read about the transfiguration or the parable of the rich man with Abraham.
God asked us to help one another, to love one another as brothers and sisters, as His children. It’s just right that we ask each other to pray for us. So if Protestants believe that they will go to Heaven when they die, don’t they believe that the Saints and the Archangels are with God in heaven? Besides the Book of Revelation described that God is not by himself in heaven.
My question is merely: why a puppet? Are you inviting us to dismiss your opinion outright?
Right?🤣
A muppet acting like a muppet. Not surprising
Haha a heretic puppet ive seen everything
We have relics tho. So kinda weird to make that point about digging up buried saints.
How to know if they are incorrupt? Protestants have ZERO incorrupt "saints" AND: 2 Kings 13:21
And as a man was being buried, lo, a marauding band was seen and the man was cast into the grave of Eli′sha; and as soon as the man touched the bones of Eli′sha, he revived, and stood on his feet.
@ dude, I believe in relics. I am Catholic.
That behind the puppet is afraid to show up?
Favorite arguments of protestan to Catholics is why do you pray to dead people..??and the answer is Saints are not dead people..they are Holy People who are already in Heaven..so they are the alive people since they already Have eternal life..but what protestant need to start asking is why they dont have Saints..??how come protestant dont have even just one Holy people..they need to start asking these questions to their martin luther successor or calvin successor or to their smartest scholar..??how come protestant was not able to produce Holy People called Saints

Compiled the Bible in 3rd century and protestant borrow that Bible in 15th century..protestants are not the originals that's why because of their misinterpretation of the Bible protestant church is now 40,000 denomination and continues to split some more..while the Catholic Church is still 1 Church..."One Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church
Jesus is her son. Jesus said, whoever drinks the water I give shall never die. You would think that as his mother, she has always been drinking the water he gives 😅
Of course that's not a theological reasoning, but as a Catholic, I can quote the bible to defend my faith.
This western mentality of lack of "parental honor" is really what drives protestantism. For us Asian it is not a hard to understand that Jesus, who is God, can honor his mother by taking her to heaven (body and soul) and making her the queen of heaven.
And in Asian culture, who doesn't ask help from their parents or friends of their parents or friends?
Protestantism which is a western concept does not understand "family-ties". As faithful believers, are we not part of one family? And yet protestants don't know how to interact with family members (the saints).
It is really a pity.
Mary is most certainly dead. Just like all other humans who die... Being alive in Heaven does not give permission too pray to them. This is insanity.
Good luck to ur ignorance
wow, they teach Jesus promise at John 6 is fake, no eternal life after death, by believing in Jesus? this feel so wrong.
Bro these protestants are all expert theologians now. They regurgitate crap off each other and swear they're onto something that no one else has heard. Not one of them actually studies that Catechism though. Literally EVERYTHING is on there. How it all ties in to each other. The cool revelations. The "Did you know?" things. for example.... DID YOU KNOW that the Ark of the Covenant of the Old Testament carried God inside? It was meant to be built perfect. and just as with the New Covenant... Mary was the New Ark and she contained Jesus (God) and was made perfect (by God's grace "AKA Hail Mary full of grace").
friend, start at basics. how important is Truth? see Psalm 119:142, 151 -- catholicism ignores and teaches contrary -- Ex 20:8-11
And Jesus said God is the God of the LIVING NOT the dead you are very much mistaken. So you would say to Jesus your beautiful and Immaculate mum is dead what a dreadful blasphemy. Those in Heaven are more alive than we are! And protestant’s worship Satan. The holy Catholic Church is Jesus Christ himself on earth.
Protestants who say Mary and the Saints are dead clearly don't believe in Jesus' teachings and therefore are really not christian.
Jesus clearly made a distinction about what it really means to be dead or alive by saying that people can be bodily alive but are actually dead when they don't abide in Him. And people can be bodily dead but are infact alive because they abide in Him.
Being bodily alive or dead has nothing to do with the life and death Jesus was talking about.
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Our body is the framework where our spirit dwells in. A body without spirit, is DEAD. and how you acquite spirit? Through Christ. And everyone who are in Christ is ALIVE. in first dead. The soul/spirit leaves the BODY and judged according to his/her works. If they are perfected, holy, pure, clean soul/spirit, they can enter heaven. Simple as that. PROTESTANT dont know this because they dont have the fullness of truth. Which found only in APOSTOLIC CHURCH which is the house of God and not in protestant or martin luther.
1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Where in the bible can I find that Mary has the ability to hear my prayers, your prayers or everyone's prayer? It's very important to question this. If the bible didn't mention it, when did it started and where did it started? Where did it came from? Friends, please do not believe what anyone says about God, only believe the Bible. Why? Because it is the message of God to us, not just tradition.
An important question is where in the bible that says you have to find all proof in the bible? You can find that NOWHERE in the bible.
The bible was written in different times and by different people. The books in the bible was collated by the Church. So where in the bible says that the books in the bible should be there? There are many books then that were not included in the bible. So it is by the power of the Catholic Church, established by Christ, gave the canon of scriptures to comprise the bible.
Before you use and argue the bible against Catholics, please learn first where you got the bible. You are just borrowing our bible.
@pebsstonesteel1424 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ~ "16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
Hebrews 4:12 ~ "12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
Is the bible complete? Yes, the New testament is the Revelation of the Old testament, Jesus is the Revelation of the Old Testament, Jesus is the Tabernacle, Jesus is the Ark of the Covenant, Jesus is the sheep when Abraham stopped by God from sacrificing His Son, it is also Jesus reference when God covered Adam and Eve on their nakedness when they've learned that they are naked, Jonah in the mouth of the big fish for 3 days is also a foreshadowing of Jesus 3 days dead. A lot of stories in the old testament, has a foreshadowing of Jesus.
Is the word of God Alive? Yes, we have 5-7 billion copies around the world, more than the believers (at least alive believers) is the Bible complete? Yes, the Apostles and Prophets are the foundation of Christianity, while Jesus is a cornerstone. We no longer have new revelations. Anything that is not in the bible, can't be backed up, and contradicts the bible is a lie.
@@pebsstonesteel1424 the bible is composed by 40 authors, it was written in a period of 1500 years, although the authors didn't leave in the same millennium, century, decades or years, they're not contradicting each other. Yes, the bible is composed of 66 books. So anything other than that, is wrong. The Roman Catholic tried adding books in the bible, which is contracting to its content, so that's not gonna work. What God allowed will happen, it is God's will that we have 5-7 billion copies of the bible.
🕊️The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
📖"Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
📖“Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
📖“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
📖“[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
📖“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
📖“We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
📖“It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
📖“The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
📖“After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
📖“The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
📖“The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church❓Yes❗️
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record❓Of course not❗️As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian denominations and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
🕊️”And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,” Ephesians 4:11-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
🚨Biblical and historical ignorance on full display❗️
ALL Christian historians from every denomination have confirm that the Holy Spirit picked the Catholic Church to compile the Bible, specifically the New Testament❗️
A Bible verse that’s clearly found within every Catholic Bible as well as every Protestant Bible which predates the reformation and the removal of 7 books by Protestant is as follows⬇️
🕊️”And if any one 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.” Revelation 22:19🔥
This verse alone proves why the Protestant church is a false religion❗️
Please as Catholics let’s always correct Protestants when they naively refer to our Blessed Mother solely as “Mary”. Gently correct them and say the Blessed Virgin Mary 🙏
nothing in Scripture says she remained virgin (lousy wife). in fact, the Bible says the opposite, she did 'know' Joseph.
and she is dead/sleeping now, hearing nothing. nothing in Scripture suggests we pray to other sinners/humans.
@@tony1685get behind me Satan
@ get behind me Satan. Shocked you just called the Mother of Our Lord a lousy Wife 😅
@@spencerbungard3152 no, i stated that a woman has a duty to her spouse and you're suggesting she didn't fulfill it, which would make her a lousy wife. again, Scripture states she did 'know' Joseph. so your theory isn't founded on Truth.
@@tony1685 my theory? You mean the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church’s teaching? Let’s say that you don’t agree with Blessed Mary’s Perpetual Virginity, why would you not refer to her as Blessed as prescribed in Luke 1:48 “from now on all generations will call me Blessed; for He who is mighty has done great things for me, and Holy is His name”. You’re either an anathema to the Church (future generations), a contradictory Protestant or you’re plain and simply in error and need to repent of your heresy.
🚨A lukewarm Catholic unable to address this properly only leads others astray❗️So let me educate this lukewarm properly with the following⬇️
🚨As a Catholic, I’m appalled at the level of ignorance that’s contributed to “saints”. As a teacher of scripture within the Catholic Church, saints as we know them today is not biblical at all❗️
Who did the Apostles considered Saints❓ Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior
🕊️“But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem;” Acts 9:13
Who did Paul consider Saints❓Anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior
🕊️”And I did so in Jerusalem; I not only shut up many of the saints in prison, by authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.” Acts 26:10
We can easily conclude that the Apostles referred to anyone who accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior and attempt to live by his teachings was called a saint. Therefore by default, anyone today who does the same is in fact given the right to be referred to as a saint❗️
Another fact is that not one individual who is considered a saint by the Catholic Church ever wanted to be considered a saint after death period❗️The purpose to their life was to point people to Christ, not themselves❗️Why should we refrain from asking anyone who the church deems as a saint for intercession❓⬇️
1️⃣Who knows the secrets of every heart but our Father alone⁉️
🕊️”Would not God discover this? For he knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalms 44:21
2️⃣Who know the thoughts of every human being but our Father alone⁉️
🕊️”The Lord, knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath.” Psalms 94:11
3️⃣Did our Father not claim that we are ALL sinners⁉️
🕊️”Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:23
4️⃣How can any mere human pass judgment before our Father and render someone a saint after death⁉️
🕊️”But it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.” Psalms 75:7
It is our Father alone who can render someone a saint AFTER they have been judged by HIM because ONLY he knows their heart and thoughts‼️
5️⃣Is performing miracles a sign of “sainthood” or simply one of many gifts given by the Holy Spirit ❓
🕊️”To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
We can easily conclude that performing miracles is simply one of many gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit who are on the same level as wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing etc. People who perform miracles aren’t meant to be elevated in anyway above others but are given that gift for the common good‼️
6️⃣Do we have the right to elevate anyone above other as “saints” after death simply because they performed miracles⁉️Do performing miracles guarantee anyone’s passage to our Father’s kingdom⁉️
🕊️“Not every one who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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 evildoers.” Matthew 7:21-23
Are “mighty works” done in Jesus’ name not considered miracles⁉️ Is prophesying in Jesus’ name not a quality found amongst those considered “saints”⁉️ and yet Jesus said “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers”‼️ because ONLY God knows a persons heart & thoughts‼️
Worst is the fact that Christians pray for intercession to these “saints” as they confirm their own judgement on these individuals without realizing that they might not even be in heaven‼️Might not even be in the presence of our Father‼️
The ONLY ones we know that are free from sin is our Father, Jesus and our Heavenly Mother‼️
🕊️”Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.” The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:20
🕊️”Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.” 1 Corinthians 4:5
🕊️”To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One.” Isaiah 40:25
🕊️“There is none holy like the Lord, there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.” 1 Samuel 2:2
7️⃣Why are the majority of Catholics wrong about saints❓
🕊️”Jesus said to them, “Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?” Mark 12:24
Silly puppet theology is for humans 😂
THe saints are all the born-again Christains THE CHURCH.
Define: Saints. Define: "born-again" Define: Christians. Define: "Church.
Ye are saved by Grace through Faith not of your works " The emphasis is on Grace not Faith,
The Grace comes through the Communion received as a Mother that feeds her Baby, taken directly to the mouth, for hands denote wages of one's work,
Nevertheless Faith has its works within, for Faith without works is dead
Render unto God what is to God: FAITH, without which it is not possible to please God but surely not a Leavened/Corrupted Faith as in Protestantism's Faith Only
Unto Abraham said he " I will bless them that bless you -- & " Your seed shall be like the sands and stars WHICH SEED ARE THE SEED OF FAITH , even as God is God of all, not a respector of persons, not a Tribal god, who is not in the habit of making different covenants for different people, neither a plan A or Plan B, nor dispensations of time for one who has no time, as preached by the Prophets of Babylon,
What specifically Consistite the Faith ?
Answer :: THE TWO COMMANDMENTS OF LOVE, denoted by the Bronze image of St Peter in Peters Basilica-- The Two Commandments of Love that hang in the two keys of heaven, The Universal Doctrine of the Catholic Faith, Consistent with the Sacred Heart of Jesus -- The Two Commandments of Love that Burns in his Heart, God is Love & Love has its works,
In the Two Commandments hang all of the Law & the Prophets, Even as said Jesus " I am come not to destroy the law & the prophets but to fullfill " & when he would have Judged man by the Two Commandments it would amount to fulfilling the law & the prophets
Revelations : The Elect of God who keep the Commanments & have his testimony ,
A Visionary stood before Our Lord as did Daniel & John, the beloveds , Eyes of fire, unable to look at it, feet as of fine brass, voice of a multitude/many waters & beside him stood Our Lady with the same features, in their Glory, except that one was Male & the other Female,
The Visionary in spirit heard his official name being called from a far off, then was Our Lady in Glory beside him with a book in hand asking him to look for his name in it He did recognize his name in it, at the same time witnessed a Lake, silvery in color, dead still, death itself, The Prophesied Lake of fire for those whose names are not found in it , Even as the Bible states " See that your names are not Blotted out (unrecognizble) from the Lambs book of life,
Gnosticism/Protestantism/Judaism rather Talmudism Refuted
This is how one was placed before God Allmighty,
A Visionary in spirit was instructed by the Holy Spirit to kneel, with both hands straight down at the sides, palms open, and facing forward, head lifted up when he sees a DARK & FRIGHTENING CLOUD above, and from his mouth utters The Lords Prayer, as Jesus taught, No any other words , Thats all
Note, before the presence of the Allmighty God even the hands are not raised
Refer to the Posture of the humble Our Lady of Grace,
We are not under the Mosaic Law, which is the "works" Paul wrote of.
Souls mean body's
Nonsense.
@po18guy-s4s what's none sence?
Why must we address some guy of zero credentials posting a silly video for attention. Like arguing theology with a crazy person on the subway. You lower yourself by doing so. Now if it were the Archbishop of Canterbury who had done the video, then by all means. You elevate the status of this nobody by calling attention to what he says. Who cares.
Its not about the puppet, what the puppet is saying is a widespread belief held by protestants, therefore worth responding to.
There are countless protestant NPCs who spout this nonsense, verbatim.
🗣JESUS IS COMING SOON!
JESUS says keep Sabbath holy!
POPE says keep Sunday holy!
“The Bible says remember that thou keep the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says, 'NO!'. By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And, lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church."
-Father Enright,
American Sentinal, June 1893.
7th Day Sabbath = (Exo.20:8-11)
1st day Sunday = (Mark 7:7)
The WORD teaches 7th day is holy!
The WORLD teaches 1st day is holy!
WHO DO 🫵 YOU OBEY????
Catholic Churches all around the world worship everyday. Worship services are done everyday. Everyday is holy in the Catholic Church; that includes the “Seventh” Day.
@@swoosh1mil
If everyday was a “Holy Day” we would NEVER be able to:
buy, sell, trade, or engage in secular work!
God specifically says to:
WORK = 6 days &
REST on the 👉Sabbath Day!
(Exodus 20:8-11)
@ And that was according to the Old Testament Law. But Jesus fulfills the OT Law. Everyday is holy and Jesus is our rest.
@ MT 11: 28-30 “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
Jesus is our rest! ☝️
The Sabbath is spiritual, you have the wrong Sabbath
It’s communication with the DEAD!
Where are they dead? Bodily? Or Spirit? If bodily I agree until the resurrection, but in Spirit I disagree. The spirit is not “dead”.
“He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.” (Mar 12:27, DRC)
Weren’t you paying attention??
Pay attention to what he's saying! He actually addresses this point specifically.
Where does anyone biblically , pray to people who are no longer with us. In the Old and New Testaments. Can anyone give me one example.
I don’t mean pray for , I mean pray to.
Did Jesus teach the apostles to pray to people who are no longer with us, or did he teach the disciples when they pray , to pray to the Father.
NOWHERE in scripture, is it said that Mary is currently in heaven.
lol who is the woman in Genesis 3:15?
Read Revelations 12
Revelation 12 crowns her with stars and the moon at her feet. Jesus called his disciples brothers, and I'd be careful speaking about her the way you do when he is in earshot. You invite judgment on yourself when you slander what God honors.
@@fragwagon
Revelation 12 represents the CHURCH
@@protestant77 -- And Mary is the mother of the Church. She represents the Church.
Isn't it blasphemous? I mean this is getting ridiculous.. How many omnipotent gods do you guys have?
Count for me.
@@StanleyPinchak Depends on what you guys mean with "ask for help". What that "help" is.
If it's "help" like in save this person, make this guy healthy, make this person rich or whatever.
I'd say it gives Mary power we haven't been told they have.
Also why are we asking anything other than God for anything at all?
If it is the scenario above then every saint + Jesus.

@@anitasez What do you mean?
@@serkiznatzWas John omnipotent when he understood all tongues and could hear every living voice? Is John claiming to be God?
“9. After this, I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands. 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb.” (Rev 7:9-10, DRC)
Was Job stealing Jesus's role when God commanded Eliphaz Baldad and Sophar to seek his mediation with God?
“Take unto you therefore seven oxen and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust, and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.” (Job 42:8, DRC)
Why is it that prayers of the just are efficacious and prayers of sinners are of lesser effect?
“Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.” (Jam 5:16, DRC)
If we know some just folks why would we not ask for their help? We do this in ordinary life and Jesus commended this "tricky" sort of behavior.
“8. And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. 9. And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity: that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.” (Luk 16:8-9, DRC)

17Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven.
They pour out drink offerings to other gods to arouse my anger.
19But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?
Mary wasn't even born yet when Jeremiah was written. Also, those pagans worshipped a king of heaven as well. These were deities worshipped in the OT, not Mary. Idk what your point is here.
The real Queen of Heaven is nothing without God and gives all her love and obedience to the One Triune God. The demons being worshipped in the OT don't have any love for God
