(John 14:26) "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" (John 15:26) I was a cradle catholic UNTIL I read the Bible for myself.... all those warnings about going to hell because you are deceived by the traditions of your fathers... THAT IS YOU!!! THAT IS CATHOLICISM!! BEWARE: Jesus has been repeatedly warning us against the priesthood that preaches "doctrines of man for the commands of God" and there is NO WAY for you to know they are LYING UNLESS YOU STUDY THE BIBLE FOR YOURSELF!!!!!!!!! you have to know what the Bible says for yourself.... and that is NOT what is taught in the Roman Catholic Church because the BIBLE refutes the entire fraud of the Vatican's claim to authority... "many will come to me in that day saying "Lord Lord have we not done many wonderful works IN THY NAME" and I will profess to them "DEPART from me, I NEVER KNEW YOU"
@@inTruthbyGrace I think reality conflicts with your view. The bible never cites it's self except the Old testament. Meaning any time the new testament speaks of scripture it's referring to the Old testament. Second I don't think the quotes you gave mean what you want them to say. Case and point look at how many thousands of different protestant denominations there are that espouse Sola scriptura "bible alone". If scripture and the spirit reveal all truth then why is their thousands of denominations with different beliefs all claiming to have authority from scripture? Whose telling the truth? Which are correct? They all can't be true so whose lying?
@@kadeshswanson3991 I am NOT advocating a denomination.... I am advocating Jesus and HIS WORD: Jesus said: "sanctify them by Thy Word, They WORD is TRUTH" (John 17:17) If you continue in my WORD *_THEN_* you are my disicple indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31-32) Jesus said: "..he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is NOT WORTHY of ME." (Matt 10:38) " If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." (Matt 16:24-25) You CLEARLY do NOT know the Bible.... You CLEARLY do NOT know Jesus' Word... READ Matt 7: 21-27 READ Jeremiah 7 & 44.. if you can't even pick up the Bible to learn about Jesus and the deception of the Queen of heaven to know if you are worshiping the devil, ... you are fooling yourself if you imagine you are picking up a cross to follow Jesus... "Study to show yourself approved unto God , the workman needs not be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of TRUTH" (2Tim 2:15)
As a past Protestant I can say deep down it is pride. A learned Protestant sticks to their belief as they claim the Bible is their authority. However, in reality it is them themselves. As a Protestant you can twist scripture however you like to make it conform to your wanted beliefs.
Whereas Catholics ignore scripture claiming their tradition bears equal weight, even when it conflicts with Holy scripture. At least the Protestants attempt to adhere to Gods word. To the Catholic, it’s nothing more than a guide rather than the one, and only, source of instruction on salvation and sanctification. Seems like a pot/kettle example applies here.
@@andreeattieh2963 the New Testament consist of the writings of the Apostles and those directly associated with them. They predate your organization by hundreds of years. Despite what you believe, the New Testament existed before your organization did. Period.
Perhaps you misunderstand what Protestants do understand.--Why must Catholics talk in circles and over complicate things? We should try to get along with everyone, but don't make statements that can be misconstrued. And they can be. If you worship "the unknown God", the point is that you should accept Jesus along with the Holy Spirit in order to know the Father because the Father and Son are One. No man comes to the Father except by me-- is what Jesus says. So just because someone is a monotheist, does not mean the same god is worshipped by all. This does not mean we all should not live in peace.
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian There is nothing in a statue. You can't just ignore the Bible which states clearly that a statue is an inanimate piece of plaster, wood, etc. Like a doll or something. It is nothing.
@@tatie7604 Nowhere are the Catholics told to worship statues. Now we can debate about the practice of prayers to the saints- I have grave reservations about that myself, but as far as actually worshipping statues, cite a non-anecdotal source that shows it's official doctrine or concede the point.
What Josh is essentially claiming is that there existed a process (by divine design) of relocating apostolic authority and doctrine from the living apostles to their writings - positively excluding any transmission of that same authority to their successors. This process developed until the death of the last apostle at which point no Christian had or needed any other apostolic authority than the apostolic writings. The problem with this theory is that it does not match what we know about the church in the late first, second, third, and fourth centuries. The evidence from that early period tells a different story about the transmission of divine revelation, a story that much more closely matches the Catholic theory of apostolic succession. The church at that time shows no evidence of behaving as if sola scriptura were true. Josh’s theory of the total relocation of apostolic authority and doctrine to the apostolic writings alone upon the death of the last apostle is an ad hoc theory designed to justify the 16th century doctrine of sola scriptura. But when we examine the early post-apostolic evidence we discover a community operating very differently than the Christian communities that have historically embraced sola scriptura over the last five-hundred years. It is self-defeating to try and evade this criticism by claiming that the early post-apostolic church was a corrupt or false form of Christianity over against the Bible, which allegedly teaches sola scriptura, since the very text and canon assumed by that argument comes to us through the allegedly corrupt or false church - and only appears in its present canonical form hundreds of years into the history of that allegedly corrupted or false church that by that time was undeniably Catholic. In short, if I’m not going to trust the judgement of the church of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th century in matters of apostolic doctrine, then I have no reason to trust its judgment regarding the canon of scripture. And if I reject its judgment regarding the canon of scripture, then there is no canon of scripture.
Good attempt of rebatle but Trent doesnt use scripture to back up catholic doctrine rather uses phycologial human reasoning why sola scrpiture is not enough (GOD is able to perserve HIS WORD) but Trent doesnt believe that and believes what ? That we need to rely on tradition and the so called pillars of man made apostle that GOD's living Spirit ( which is in harmony with HIS Written WORD and is in season (disspensation) with whatHE is doing ( confirming HIS prohetic WORD) popes even as we all are fallible ( not infallable) we are not to follow man but GOD HIS WORD HIS SPIRIT this is where protestant teachers fail too( they start thinking more highly of themselves than the ought to Thinking that they r the spiritual leader NO CHrist Jesus Yeshua is our leader and its HIS Church not ours or some man that has only a position Truth has authority not man's position

I think it's very interesting that Protestant Apologist insist that Catholics teach a false Gospel while misrepresenting what Catholics actually teach and then tell you what their interpretation of Scripture is. If they were following what I see Catholic Apologist do and give the strongest possible argument for Protestantism and then refute it, I guarantee most of these well read Protestant Apologist will convert to the true faith. We do know however that this would take a great in-working of grace from the Holy Spirit, since it is only by grace that we are drawn to God and live in him. Many of these Protestant Apologist likely on some level know the truth but continually reject his voice (although this is a presumption on my part).
They teach a lot of false teachings, they claim that Jesus will be on earth which never mentions on scripture (doctrine of false Christ), idolatry and carved images, Sunday change was originated from sun worship, Jesus rested on the seventh day (Saturday), Bible says that the Sabbath is a perpetual covenant.
There is Hope! Terrible and very weak arguments. First of all, the Vatican isn’t on the seven hills of Rome, it’s actually on the other side of Rome. Not only that but I can show you multiple Seventh Fay Adventist preachers wearing Purple and Red. It’s a color. The Church wears the color Red for martyrs and the Blood of Christ. The purple represents sacrifice. Also the Bible talks about the apostles worshiping on Sunday and the early Christians believed it.
Gavin Grinny Yes you are right, I made a lazy mistake about saying it was on Vatican instead of Rome. I haven’t heard of Protestant preachers having red or scarlet but likely wouldn’t have a strong religious power from my point of view. I would be interested in knowing anywhere in the scripture it would say to worship on Saturday. The issue with the Roman Catholic Church although is that they do have resemblance with changing set times and laws, being the only big religious power to wear scarlet and purple, the little horn in Daniel is from the Roman Empire split/growth into ten kingdoms. It does interpret that they will be wondered and marveled by the world. The majority of Christians are known to be Catholic and they are becoming like the majority. In the last days the saints (saints are the spiritual Israelites, children of God) will be saved but the door will be narrow. There is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church of the end times that is really similar to the false Christ. Jesus Christ said he will be coming in the clouds to lift our heads up but he nevered said he will touch earth. They think Jesus will come in earth which is unbiblical and it would be werid that people will deceived by the false Christ after the coming of Jesus. The will be a man of sin (pope I identify) that will be with this man claiming to be Christ which would be controlled by Satan. I hope you got to see my point of view.
There is Hope! Islam wears purple and scarlet all the time and so does Hinduism. I personally believe that either Emperor Nero is the AntiChrist or Islam. Remember the Antichrist has to deny that Jesus is the Christ. The Catholic Church has been saying that Jesus is the Christ for over 1,900 years
@@user-pk5fo9yo8x This doesn't make sense. You are saying that a denomination of Christianity is on trial to the be the Antichrist spoken of in Scripture because of the amount of souls it has helped...What? What sort of logic is that? "Christ said only those who take the road not taken can enter Heaven. The Catholic Church has a lot of members. Therefore, the Church is a false Church and spreads a false Gospel." This has no sound argument to it. If tomorrow, every soul were to leave the Catholic Church and join the Baptist Church, then the same logic would have to be applied to it as well. Do you see how this doesn't fit together? Using the quantitative data concerning the number of members in a denomination/religion as basis for a claim as large as denouncing it as the Antichrist is a slippery slope, since it has no basis to it. Also, the Antichrist probably wouldn't want to come as a Pope. 1) What the Pope says is not law for the entirety of the Church, as the "papal infallibility" people hear about is only invoked when defining a certain doctrine/dogma for the faith. It has no bearing of control on people. 2) People can ignore the Pope's flaws should he do something they feel is not in following with the faith. That has been done many times over with past Popes, and people do it now with Pope Francis. 3) All of these points summed into one, the Antichrist will be a person of such charisma and influence that everyone will feel, personally, as if they simply must listen to this man, and obey what he says. This doesn't apply to the Pope, as his position isn't to be the ultimate head of the Church (that is Christ's position), but to be a representative/steward/shepherd of His people on earth. Also, to say that Scripture says Christ will not come to earth again is absolutely incorrect, and to say that Scripture says otherwise implies you may have not read much from it. Acts 1:11, as the Apostles and Jesus' Mother are looking at where Christ Ascended into Heaven, they are greeted by angels that tell them that Christ will literally "come back in the same way you have seen Him go to Heaven". Also, the Book of Revelation talks about Christ preparing a New Earth (referred to as "the world to come" in the Nicene Creed) in Revelation 21. It goes into explicit detail of Him doing away with everything and then making it new. And if that isn't enough, Revelation 21:3 says that a voice from the Throne of God shouted, "And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them!" The very same Scripture you say supports that Christ would never return to earth to stay refutes your statement. There is a New Heaven and a New Earth coming in Christ's renewal, and He will come to bring it here, not make it far away. The Holy Catholic Church has always taught this, is teaching this, and will continue to do so. So, "prepare the way of the Lord".

When I was an Evangelical I tried to prove sola scriptura was the truth by looking in the Bible to find out how it defined “Word of God”. I discovered that the Bible does not define the Word of God as only what was written in scripture.
This guy debates with opinion not truth, this guy don't use basis on his belief mostly but he makes it up only by his own words. But Joshua guy uses the bible who predicts the future 2000 years ago, God knew that many will go away from the truth. That's the words of God. I was a Catholic, I know how things works and I read the Bible, but have you read it? Isaiah 34:16 New Catholic Bible 16 Consult the book[a] of the Lord and read it. Not one of these will be missing, not one will be without its mate. For the mouth of the Lord has commanded this, and his Spirit has gathered them together. Me: God can see the future and words of God will be gathered correctly, deuterocanonical books was added suddenly like maccabees and God isn't pleased with added books from that original and it is said in bible. Deuteronomy 4:2 New Catholic Bible 2 [a]You will not add to what I command you, nor will you take away from it, so that you might observe the commandments of the Lord, your God, that I am giving you. Me: it was only added. And it has many contraindications from Canon bible books, like praying to the dead. Leviticus 19:31 New Catholic Bible 31 “Do not consult mediums or seek after wizards, to be defiled by them. I am the Lord, your God. Isaiah 8:19 New Catholic Bible 19 People may say to you, “Seek guidance from ghosts and mediums who whisper and mutter. Should not a people consult its gods and the dead on behalf of the living Me: don't you trust the bible? Catholic made their own bible but does not honor it, your human words is above God's words according to Catholic cathecism, and that's how Jesus hated the old religious leaders. Mark 7:5-8 New Catholic Bible 5 Therefore, the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders but eat with unclean hands?” 6 He answered, “How rightly Isaiah prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; 7 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ 8 You thrust aside the commandment of God in order to preserve the traditions of men.”[a] Me: what's greater? Words of Catholic Church ( men's commandments/ tradition) Or God's words ( bible) God's commandments would you take everything so literal? Have you really read the Bible? Who is the Holy Spirit? Isn't it God? 2 Peter 1:20-21 New Catholic Bible 20 First of all, however, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private interpretation. 21 No prophecy ever came from human initiative. Rather, when people spoke as messengers of God, they did so under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.[a] So it's all inspiration of God, so it's words or God. Read your bible please. It will open your eyes, it gives you direct communication from God unlike listening to this human analogy this guy is saying which are mostly opinion. What do you wanna believe? The truth or your belief? Find the truth then. Find it with the Holy Spirit. Ask God understand. You can say im a hypocrite but not telling you the truth is more hypocrite than you ever think, I'm not righteous , we will give account to every words we say. Find the truth my brother.
God bless u Trent, im a ex-protestant, and I saw the problem with Christianity long ago, so i became an atheist, not so smart, but I thank the Lord everyday for opening my eyes. Bc when i came back to the faith, i was walking around telling people im a reborn again Christian, without knowing what that really meant 🤦🏻♂️ but since i knew the problems with protestantism christianity, i went back to the early apostolic church fathers, & read my way into the RCC. Even thou I almost became an eastern orthodox, i softened my heart, & just prayed to God for truth. As i always start a conversation with atheists, i ask them, if Christianity were true would u be a Christian, most of them say "NO", thats when i know to dust off and move on to the next soul. So i took my own advice, and said to the Lord if Catholicism is true, I'll be a catholic Lord, so I see it as, not that i read myself into the church alone, but by reading and praying to God, having discernment, asking God show me were im wrong, thats what i believe is the only way, a protestant, r orthodox Christians will see the truth of the RCC. Bc when i talk to orthodoxs, i ask them this question about Catholicism, 9 out 10 they all say no ill never be a Roman Catholic, it hurts me so bad, bc alot of the orthodoxs ik were ex-protestants. So it all boils down to hatred for the RCC, and that's why people can't see it, bc they choose not to see it, and that's when God will not uncircumcised your heart, he will hand you over to reprobated mind. God bless u all my brothers and sisters, 💯 I'm coming home to Rome 😇🙏🏼💯🇻🇦
I absolutely love these rebuttals. As a recent convert they are so helpful. Before I converted I listened to many debates and it is so helpful to have both interpretations in one place. Too many protestants making videos that misrepresent the teachings of the church. Very frustrating.
Exactly. And if you think about, protestants only resort to apologetics when is convenient. The protestant in the video defended christianity (against islam) from an historical point of view: he said there were witnesses, he also said there aren't serious scholars claiming Jesus never resurrected and so on. But when they face the Catholic Church, they are _bye bye historicity_ and _hello sola scriptura_ . Suddenly they toss 1,500 years of preexistence of christianity, and resort to " _you know why Catholic Church is wrong? Here are (MY INTERPRETATION ON) some verses that contradicts your Church's teaching_ ". Translation: pure subjective arguments. Protestants are cornered to to this, because from an historic point of view they know they can't pull out most of their doctrines before Luther.
Watching some debates may be good but we always have to make sure that we have enough time to be alone with God ( praying fasting and studying the word ) ; I say that because I was so addicted to debates and I know many people here on RUclips are , being addicted to debates does not help at all if our private life with God is nonexistent( or very weak).
@@franciscobumba2312 Amen. I constantly catch myself becoming so obsessed with the cerebral stuff, with intellectualizing and polemicizing the faith, that I can't remember the last time I prayed. If that goes on for long enough, at least for some people, by the time you finally get bored with arguments about Jesus or religion or philosophy, you won't be able to remember why you believe in the first place. As a former atheist for my entire life, I was definitely convinced by the empirical evidence for the Resurrection and the philosophical evidence for God and for the immaterial and eternal spirit/mind/soul. It was absolutely essential for me, I never would have even had an open mind without people like Dr. Brant Pitre and even William Lane Craig. I never even gave that stuff a chance, I'd listen to Christopher Hitchens bash Dr. Craig but wouldn't give Dr. Craig the opportunity to defend himself. Out of nowhere and for no apparent reason, I felt an irresistible impulse to learn about Christ. I became totally obsessed, reading books and listening to debates and even watching movies and TV shows about Jesus like The Chosen, which elicited such profound and cathartic emotional responses that I got sucked in even deeper. I just decided to suspend my disbelief and humor Jesus for a moment, and that moment never ended, because the Spirit immediately reciprocated my incipient faith with a gesture of his own and gave me the gift of prayer. I think at least for some people (probably especially atheists) it's a 3-step process. The Spirit opens one's mind to the possibility; evidence and rational thought fill the mind; the individual assents to faith, because even though they haven't been given 100% certainty (which is impossible, even for a trivial scientific claim like "matter exists"), they _have_ been given a preponderance of evidence, with which they can conclude that it's more likely true than not, and so make a choice to assent. Bishop Barron says it's like trusting a person when they tell you some deeper truth about themselves that can't be verified empirically. So clearly it's important, at least for some people, to know 1) that the Christian claims are not impossible, haven't been proven false, haven't even been proven unlikely, and aren't _a priori_ philosophically silly or improbable or irrational; and 2) that there is good evidence for at least some of the most important Christian claims, and very good evidence for the circumstantial details, like the overall narrative of how the Church came to exist. I think without demonstrating those things, it's gonna be practically impossible to convince a modern, millennial atheist, because of the extent to which we worship Popperian epistemology. That said, it's so easy for someone with that mindset to lose sight of what's really important and why. Obviously, Christianity is important _because_ it's true. If it were just a bunch of beautiful poetry and mythology, it might be worth consuming in a manner similar to exquisite art, but it would not be any more important than any other hobby or interest. However, provided we can accept that it's true, we then need to focus on chasing the future that God wants for us. What that's gonna look like will be different for everyone, and many (myself included) will still be discerning that for a long time. But at the very least, everyone can pray daily, confess his or her sins and commune with Christ himself at mass.

Adam Cegelka Have you seen the rest of the paragraph? Yes the Roman Catholic system took the Bible but they hidden it for other people to see.

@@user-pk5fo9yo8x Martin Luther was not some kind of hero who brought the Bible to the people, he was on the contrary a good for nothing except dividing and I tell this to you as a former Protestant. He liberated no one with his modified Bible which wasn't even the first in the German language. For example on Catholic German Bibles, one German Bible version alone, first printed in 1466, had 16 editions printed before Luther's New Testament appeared in 1522. The first French New Testament appeared in 1478, five years before Luther's birth, and the complete French Bible in 1487. The Italians had theirs in 1471, the Dutch in 1477. The Swedes, the Bohemians, Slavs, Russians and Danes all had vernacular Bibles, circulated with *full ecclesiastical support.* You were all lied to like me, Protestants can't do proper Church History.
Destynation Q He divided people from the harlot which is for certain. I likely wouldn’t probably be able to access The Bible if Martin Luther didn’t list these things out.

Having been raised as a Baptist, son and grandson of well meaning Baptist Pastors, I came to realize that most Protestant doctrinal tenets are based on a naive and superficial reading of the Bible and that Catholic teaching is much stronger and deeper than I was taught to believe.

And your founder Martin Luther was not leaving Catholic Church because of its teachings but because he was influenced by Jews that purposely avoided the 7 books of OT because they wanted to cause confusion and have them forget about what has always been originally Christian as Catholic among the Christian Jews, just as they did with the help creating Islam against Middle Eastern Christian Catholics...I'm Eastern Catholic Christian- we've all always been Catholic with or without what you protestants think as it's just "Roman Catholic".

I know protestants will say "bible alone" yet will try to find answers they don't understand from various pastors that are unaffiliated with theirs. Sorry but you protestants are lost if you are purposely resisting anything Catholic and it's dangerous many other false religions are taking advantage of you especially in the west. Study well!
@@GM-uy3cm Pope Pius XII and the Holy Office already addressed Fr. Feeney and the misrepresentation of Extra Ecclesia. If you read what they both wrote, you will see what the mind of the Church is.
yup..I love the way he handled James White...White is not a Biblical Biblical illiterate but always seems smug to me and clearly does not have all the answers ..Trent and others have helped me in my continued growth as we all need
If the two were to meet and debate, I can see pretty sure who would then say, "Holy cow! I thought I was so smart...". For even that notoriously elusive James White had had enough of Trent ... lol
Also if he's using the current KJV they removed books that was in the first King James Version 1611. The King James Version 1611 aka Authorized King James Bible had all the books that the Catholic Bible does. The deuterocanonical books were removed later. Dr Brante Pitre talks about it in this video below that is link to the actual KJV 1611> Origin of the Bible Preview, part 1, by Dr. Brant Pitre ruclips.net/video/0k0UV2Zi5X0/видео.html KJV 1611 - King James Bible archive.org/details/KJV1611 Outline of The Origin of the Bible: Human Invention or Divine Intervention?

Archbishop George Abbot: sentenced printers 1yr for printing KJV’s w/out the Apocrypha! c. Only later were they removed, along with cross-references to the 7 Books (after 1615 A.D.) “[W]hatever may be our personal opinions of the Apocrypha, it is a historical fact that they formed an integral part of the King James Version, and any Bible claiming to represent that version should either include the Apocrypha, or state that it is omitting them. Otherwise a false impression is created.” (Edgar Goodspeed, Formation of the New Testament, 7) 3. After 1650’s: Most Protestant Bibles omitted the 7 Books a. Apocrypha are far most part forgotten b.

Trent, we need more rebuttals of Protestant misconceptions, accusations and lies. This is vital for Protestants and Catholics to know the truth. So go for it in a big way on a number of topics. Don't neglect the task. We should not be allowed to be led by false teachers.
You are already led by a diabolical catholic religion that teaches false doctrines and you have the nerve to call a protestant liar . The arrogance and ignorance you catholics display speaks volumes !
This video gives me the same vibe as anti-Catholic political propaganda during the mid-1800s in the US. Massively misrepresentative, prideful, and non-academic.
There is Hope! When you said “I dare you to search on google.” It says on various articles and Wikipedia “The title City of Seven Hills usually refers to 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗘.” Archaeologists suggest that “Rome began as an 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦.” But Vatican though has only 𝟯 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝟭. 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗦 𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗦 - 𝗩𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝟮. 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗨𝗦 - 𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝟯. 𝗝𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗨𝗠 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟 - 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗨𝗟𝗨𝗠 They weren’t counted as Seven Hills because the Vatican’s 3 Hills are outside the boundaries of Rome. And that is my dare, my friend.
Catho Shiba26 I am sorry about that, I mean’t seven hills Rome. I was lazy about paying attention when I said Vatican. There is other places that also have the seven mountains but they don’t have a religious political power however.
Trent Horn has become my favorite apologist concerning all things Christian and Catholic. Whip smart, extremely well read and with a gracious, winsome style, I stand amazed that someone this young can be this wise. The right man God has raised up for such a time as this. Praying for you my friend. And proud to support your ministry. I would encourage others to do the same.
@counsel of trent how do you listen and respond to this type of stuff without getting riled up? It's something I have always admired about you when watching you explain and debate
People like Josh are what you get when you reject the authority of the true Church and set out the have your own church. You get all these keen, half-informed, minimally-opposed, people who think they have these great gotchas that have been repeatedly refuted.
People like you are what you get when people with monumental egos reject the basic child like tenets of the Christain faith for a religion formed on high minded pseudo profound arguments that sound intellectual and above on the surface to make your self look and appear intellegent to man.
I love when you point out that the Canon of Scripture was authoritatively declared (also the revelation in Jesus was passed on for the first couple of decades by oral tradition before anything was written).
I'm new to Catholicism coming from a secular worldview so these protestant theologies are also new to me. But they always seem like they're splitting hairs. At some point, any of these non-denominational or whatever Christian churches must have a council of their own and decide what the scriptures mean to them. How is that different from what the Catholic church is doing? Except the Catholic church has the intellectual pedigree. There always seems to be some pride embedded in these pastor guys. They way they say things like "So now listen to this!" like they have a secret to reveal. Not to mention this guy obviously has resentment.
The problem is most aside from the first Protestant Sects simply set up a new denomination when they get prompted by the "Spirit" that the pastor of the church they visit now is wrong, and they are correct.
When he tried to use the will and testament analogy, I just laughed knowing Trent would destroy that. A will and testament has a successor in interest, and that person or persons interprets and organizes the will. Fits perfect for the Catholic Church
@@ImTiredOfThisChurch Now that's happened who do you think did better? I'm biased towards Trent but Alex did a good job holding his ground were he chose to hold it.
I am glad that some Catholics are being awakened and studying the Bible to know and understand the Truth, which is in Christ Jesus alone. But, let it be according to the leading, inspiration and interpretation of the Holy Spirit. For the light of the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding far exceeds than any man-made or man's interpretation by his own understanding. ( Acts 2:38-39; John 16:13-15; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 3:5; Job 32:8 ) Let me share a testimony of my spiritual experience and the dream I dreamed, which God has given me, concerning ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. In my dream, I saw a Parish Church building of medium size where mass service was being held. The church building was almost full of people on its sitting capacity. The mass attendees were all sitting and the service was going on. What was shocking was that the one who was performing the service on the altar who was supposed to be the priest was completely naked from head to feet. He was not standing, but lying, facing upward and floating on the air, just one or two feet above the altar table. All people could see him completely naked. Yet, it seemed that they did not mind it, and even enjoyed the sight as if nothing abominable was going on at the altar. I sensed an atmosphere of quietness and loneliness inside the church building. The people were in slumber and seemed to be hypnotized. Let me share a testimony of my spiritual experience and the dream I dreamed, which God has given me, concerning ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. In my dream, I saw a Parish Church building of medium size where mass service was being held. The church building was almost full of people on its sitting capacity.

Yet, it seemed that they did not mind it, and even enjoyed the sight as if nothing abominable was going on at the altar. I sensed an atmosphere of quietness and loneliness inside the church building. The people were in slumber and seemed to be hypnotized. When I woke up in the morning, I was somewhat troubled in my thoughts as I recalled the dream. Yet, immediately I received the light of its meaning. The message is clear that it is about the spiritual condition and state of the "Roman Catholic Church", its leaders and members. God revealed to me how 'ABOMINABLE' is the Roman Catholic Church before Him. She is 'NAKED', 'BLIND' and 'DECEIVED'. ( Revelation 4:14-20 - The church of Laodiceans; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Romans 10:1-3; 11:8-10; Matthew 15:14; Ephesians 5:12-14; Hosea 4:1-18; Zephaniah 3:1-4 ) Since my birth, I grew up following the Roman Catholic doctrine, belief and practices until the day I got 'born again in my spirit' when I prayed the 'prayer of justification' in the Name of the Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. On that day of my new birth, instantly I stopped drinking alcoholic drinks and smoking at the 'same time', for THE LORD had REMOVED from within me the desire of it. Immediately I was filled with the 'HOLY GHOST'. Afterward, something like a SEED, broke open in my heart, wherein out of it an UNSPEAKABLE JOY filled my whole being within that lasted for many days. Then it was followed by many godly and biblical spiritual experiences and one of these was to dream dreams. ( Acts 2:17; 2:38-39; 3:19-20 ; Ephesians 3:16-20; 5:18; John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:8; Matthew 13:23 ) May the followers of the Roman Catholic Church be awakened and know the Truth that will set them free, which is in Christ Jesus alone and the Word of God, the Holy Bible. They have the zeal of God, but NOT according to knowledge. They are LUKEWARM, because their faith is NOT according to the WORD and TRUTH. Having the form of godliness, but denying the POWER thereof. They are LACKING in the knowledge of God and Truth. They are blind, naked and deceived because of FALSE DOCTRINE, BELIEFS and PRACTICES. ( John 8:32; Romans 10:2; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 45:20; Revelation 3:15-16; 2 Timothy 3:5; Hosea 4:1, 6 ) I am sharing this dream in obedience to the Word of The LORD in Jeremiah 23:28, that says, 'The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell of a dream..' Daniel 7:1 - '..then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.' Amos 3:4 - 'Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?..' Amos 3:5 - 'Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?..' Amos 3:6 - 'Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not afraid?..' Amos 3:7 - 'Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.' Numbers 12:6 - 'And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. Luke 8:17 - 'For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.' Revelation 3:22 - 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.' Revelation 19:10 - '..the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.' The Roman Catholic Church is HEAVILY CONTAMINATED with FALSE doctrine, beliefs and practices ( including traditions ) that makes it "ABOMINABLE" before God. It is because they take lightly the Word of God to live and walk in it's POWER and WISDOM which is Christ Jesus in every believer who is saved, born of God in the spirit and filled with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk with God in Spirit and in Truth in all holiness, righteousness and justice of the Spirit, which the Lord Jesus had 'set up' in the Cross of Calvary. ( Jeremiah 51:27 ) The message of the LORD our God in a vision of my head upon my bed concerning the Roman Catholic Church is very clear that all it's followers ( leaders and members ) should take heed to this VERY SERIOUS WARNING!!! I hope and pray that each catholic followers will SERIOUSLY EXAMINE their INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL STATE and CONDITION before God for the sake of their soul. May they all be awakened, received the white raiment that they may be clothed, their eyes be anointed with eye salve that they may be healed from their blindness and be free from deception that is prevailing within the RCC. ( Revelation 3:18 ) They must know and remember that The LORD our God did not placed anything between man and His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his or her Salvation and Redemption; not even angels, saints, nor our fellow men and any material things and images, and man-made recital prayers!!! The BEST thing the 'catholic followers' can do is to TURN TO the WORD of GOD, the HOLY BIBLE. READ, STUDY AND MEDITATE upon it always that they may know the TRUTH that will set them FREE from FALSE doctrine, beliefs and practices ( including traditions ). ( Psalm 1; Colossians 3:16; John 8:31-32 ) To God be the Glory and Honor alone! God bless and graces to all.
Hi Trent! Love your videos! As a protestant who's leaning towards Catholicism I was wondering if you can make a video responding to Jay Dyer's video called "Top 10 Reasons Why I'm Not Roman Catholic". He's a popular orthodox apologist who critiques Catholicism and he kind of makes me doubt the Catholic faith, especially the fact that no Catholics ever responds to his critiques.
Hi, so happy you are taking this journey. do you speak spanish? if so please look this catholic priest Padre Luis Toro. look for the topic that you need more help with, he explains everything. as he knows protestant doctrine. blessing to you.
I always find ironical & sad to hear protestants say _"if we can understand the source/cause of an error (referring to Catholic teachings), then it's easier to understand how the other things are symptoms of such error"._ If they could apply this little process to their own beliefs, that'd be great.
I was once sent this video to tell me how wrong the Catholic Church is,,, but when I started asking him some questions on the video, he quickly abondoned it,, I'm very happy to see this rebuttal,, Thank you #Trent,,,
Lets do this Trent. Please do a video on refuting Sedevacantism! Please you are the chosen one Trent!!! We need good refutations so we can battle them. Please do not tell me the same one that all Catholic Apologists use about the gates of hell will not prevail from the gospel. We need refutations to their points like why Vatican 2 is not anti Catholic etc...
The best argument I've heard from sedevacantist is actually pope Paul IV Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio Apostolic Constitution - 15 February 1559, they use this all the time and they have a valid argument. The one thing that sets red flags off regarding this bull is the fact its left out of all Dezingers editions and by all accounts Paul IV was never put forward for canonization due to his extreme views of Jews, Spanish and heretics etc, he even said he would carry the wood to burn his own father if he was a heretic........ Somebody needs to explain all this
Magnus please let people upvote so that Trent can see it. I am hoping he does rebuttals for the youtube channel VaticanCatholic who are a group of Sedevacantists and post a lot of anti catholic videos. I have constantly been posting on Trents channel hoping he will see it as many other religious groups use their arguments against catholics and im not an expert in this. Common Trent this is my idea of a Snyder Cut. Release the trentcut please!!!!!!! Trent I love u and your videos. If I did not I will not subscribe and beg u for your arguments. The way you pose your rebuttals is easy to understand, fact based and honestly a gem for us. If this matter was not serious I would not stress on you for the videos. We need to bring back our brothers and sisters home. You have the knowledge that we do not. If you teach us how to fish we can catch more fish. It is critical brother please. Literally no one on RUclips or online even are posing good rebuttals. Everyone uses the verse from the gospels that the gates of hell will not prevail... and I agree as a Catholic.... But our brothers and sisters who are not convinced will not agree because to begin with they don’t even believe the Catholic Church is the church of Christ. I have good reason to believe that it’s the Catholic Church majorly because of the miracles that St. Rita (Italy) and St. Charbel (Lebanon) have done in my life. I love the Catholic Church (despite the bad flock and corruption that we have, but as you yourself once said it’s our duty to make it good again and fight the corruption). Even Catholic Answers don’t have good rebuttals. Just check the comment section and see how people are unhappy. This is a major issue Trent. Please brother!
@@joeykordahi9927 Sedevacantism is also an issue here in Brazil. There are so many channels over here that are sedevacants and we don't see many people debunking their arguments like it should be done, but otherwise, more and more people becoming sedevacants or what we call as "radtrads". It's a shame seeing so many people calling the Pope on bad names. There's also a huge problem: the "intellectual mentor" of our government and partisans is a "catholic" (100% heretic btw), and is always criticizing the Pope and promoting channels on sedevacantism. He's not a sedevacant himself, but does not accept Francis as being the actual pope.
Magnus You should see in Nigeria man. Everyone in Nigeria thinks the Pope is AntiChrist. It’s terrible. It’s so sad to hear Brazil having sedevacantists. I used to hear Brazil was a strong Catholic hold. Brother Magnus thank u for also seeking and asking for Trent for rebuttals. I will pray for you my brother. One love my main. I just wish Trent would see our comments. It is something we would share and use to help bring our brothers home. A Maronite Priest (Maronite is a sect of Catholics) once told me their are two kinds of priests (Altar Priests, Everyday Priests). Altar priests are those who will perform the liturgy, bless the people, perform the Eucharist etc... Everyday Priests are those who bring people back home!!! You and I are everyday priests. And tents material will help our mission.
I'm not even catholic but if I had to pick between catholic and reformed (as a matter of life and death with no other choice), I'd pick catholic (it'd be an easy choice) and for me I found this to be a massive demolishing of Josh.
Lumen Gentium claims Islam worships the one true God together with the church. It says it right in the graphic. That's absolutely incorrect. Islam denies Christ all together as God therfore that cant possibly worship Him. Comparing Paul's experience to what lumen Gentium says is apples to oranges to what' v2 says about Islam... Sad, really...
What fascinates me with people like Josh is that he expects us to accept HIS interpretation of the Bible rather than relying on the 2000 years that the magesterium of the Church teaches us. That is the whole point in the third pillar of the truth: the collective wisdom of the magesterium is much safer and far more reliable than any one individual trying to understand and preach it. If you need any further proof of this, just listen to Josh and the nonsense he speaks. It is like a kindergarten kid trying to teach a university graduate. The gates of Hades HAVE prevailed against people like him who are trying to draw people away from the Christian (ie CATHOLIC) Church.
Why would the Catholic Church even explore similarities between Christianity and Islam to begin with? It doesn’t help Christianity in any way and to lump Muslims into the “plan for salvation” doesn’t make much sense at all. Forgive me if I’ve misquoted the CC regarding this matter. But shouldn’t it be our goal be to evangelize the Muslims and not give credence to any of their ideals?
My comment was not about the SAME PRONUNCIATION (Homophonic pun), but the Purpose (Context and Meaning) of the word COUNSEL which primarily means to ADVISE/ADVICE, and to GUIDE his viewers, and not to give REBUTTAL, REBUKE, SCOLD, CASTIGATE, REPRIMAND, DEBATE, etc... which is not the TRUE definition of the English word COUNSEL... In other words, the owner of this Blog/Channel is Mr. TRENT... From the Blog's Title Name... "COUNSEL OF TRENT" which means in context and meaning, TRENT is giving ADVICE/ADVISE and GUIDANCE to his viewers... For example ... Counsel (advice/advise) of Paul, or Counsel (advice/advise) of Peter, etc... We do not need the I.Q. of Einstein or Tesla to understand and comprehend my comment, logically speaking... unless... (you do the math/calculation)...
In John 10:16 Jesus said - I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also i must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one sheperd.
What does Rome teach about Romes authority?The Roman catholic position on these 21councils is that they have authority equal to the Bible,that's huge.This is official catholic teaching.These are not just opinions of individual catholics.This is official catholic doctrine.This is what they teach is infallible cannot be mistaken.Holy"mother church" is the one to whom it belongs to judge of their scriptures true sense in interpretation.The church decides what the Bible means and you are not allowed 🚫 to argue with it.That's the Rome catholic position.The official leadership in Rome.GALATIANS1:8...RADICALLY...RADICALLY DESTROYS ANY POSSIBILITY OF CHURCH AUTHORITY OVER THE HOLY SCRIPTURES HANDS DOWN...! BUT THOUGH WE,OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN,PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED UNTO YOU,LET HIM BE ACCURSED.ROMAN CATHOLICISM HAS A FALSE GOSPEL.
I’m so sad, I’ve read and heard the name Trent Horn probably 100 times while watching conversion stories and videos by searching Protestants like the Ten Minute Bible Hour and the guy Matt Fradd has been talking to, Bertuzzi? I’ve heard Trent’s name mentioning in company with apologists the likes of Scott Hahn and yet, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a video or heard his style of rebuttal. I feel awful that I was so lazy and assumed he would just flow into my happy Catholic path, although he did today, but I’m sad I haven’t heard him before. I have a LOT of excellent videos to watch now, though, so I’m actually glad. lol
Welcome to the club! I just discovered his videos too, after seeing his name in so many places!! I am a revert to the Faith for the past 12 years, after completing RCIA classes from a very holy Deacon. It started me on a faith and intellectual journey that never ends, and it’s exciting! Our Faith is so much…the Word, the Sacraments, the Church Fathers, etc. He is right: it is SO much more than the Word alone!
"if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" John 12:47-48 I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment, for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned Matt12:36-37 .....be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. James 3:1 (32,255 views)
Josh doesn't want all the smoke as the kids say. I appreciate you doing this because it helps us the listener having to flip back and forth to piece it all together. God bless you hermano. I am listening to your book on Why Were Catholics and looking forward to your other content.
It's really funny to see this guy's self-assured attitude punctuated by Trent's counterpoints that totally dismantle his position. It really highlights his arrogance and how shallow it is.
28:21 Yes, he was referring to the likes of Martin Luther , and you, Josh. How ironic that he uses this verse against the catholic church when it`s actually referring to his ilk. Indeed, who came from among the catholic church? that`s right, the protestants.
Haha how many times does Trent have to say, "It doesn't say faith alone..... you added that". Josh keeps pulling a Martin Luther and just chucking it in there. Another anti-Catholic apologist in Trent Horn's scrap heap.
Well it is true,justification by faith alone is unbiblical and heretical. A man is justified by works amd not faith alone. James 2:24 Obedience leads to justification Romans 6:16 By your words you shall be justified. Mathew 12:13
@@Wgaither1 nobody obeys it perfectly. That's why Christ had to come, because we are all, by our very nature, imperfect. What's your point? Nobody disagrees with this. It's a Christian fundamental belief that we will all, always, fall short in some way.
1:13:25 the Bible does say what the gospel is. Paul proclaims the gospel here: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 King James Version 15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
I just have one question about the catholic religion, how do you explain the changing of the sabbath and the law by removing the second commandment and breaking the last commandment into 2. This is a clue from daniel to tell us who the beast is can you do a video on this and explain how this happened.
If we group the two "covet" commandments as one (as the Protestants do) then we run the very real risk of viewing women (spouses) as objects to be owned. Clearly, there are two commandments here because we're dealing with two different sins (avarice and lust).
I think you better ask the Jews. They know exactly who the beast refers to then your Sabbath and everything else will fall into place. Daniel 7 is rooted in their history not the history of the Catholic Church
You said it at 36:00, that is exactly what the RC does. The RC Church interprets the word to put unnecessary works and traditions on believers. A lot of your traditions contradict the written word. Catholics can't accept the fact that Constantine corrupted the Roman church with paganism, and I have seen the pagan symbolism every time I stepped in the Catholic church. All the Baal symbols from the Baal temple. Just look up the temple of Baal and look at the symbols, and look up pagan symbols.Then look at the Vatican pictures and all the same symbols inside and out.
The icing on the cake in the fact that the RCC played a critical role in developing and spreading Darwinism. It was an RCC preacher that came up with, and popularized the big bang hypothesis. Also, it is no coincidence that Charles Darwin himself is buried in an RCC cathedral (Westminster Abby). There are even more ties if you look into it. The RCC truly is the "whore of Babylon" in the Book of Revelation.
Josh's argument at 20:00 is kind of not well thought out. Yes Ephesus is rebuked in Revelation, but where do we get that from? Jesus? well kind of. At the end of the day we have to trust that St. John was telling the truth and it was the belief that he wanted us to keep! Which would also be called a tradition. This is on top of Trent's scripture argument. But I think that, if Josh's argument is followed through it disproves his point. I would say that it is safe to assume that St. Paul had the tradition and taught it to Ephesus. He effectively prophecies that some of the elders will become corrupt. Many years later St. John gets a visit from Jesus and Jesus rebukes Ephesus for becoming corrupt as St. Paul prophesied. Since even protestants would hold that what St. Paul and St. John wrote is to be believed as divinely inspired it would stand to reason that it is a part of tradition and that it is trust worthy. Thus meaning that God did not lie when he let St. Paul know, because all prophecy comes from God, when He told St. Paul that wolves would show up among the elders to corrupt Ephesus. But what is interesting is that Jesus praises Ephesus for rebuking and casting out false teachers (gives them a +1 for sticking to tradition) but chastises them for losing their love for God. And yes I would say that they stuck to tradition because how could they properly rebuke false teachers if they did not stick to tradition?
Here is something I always find odd. Sola scriptura would explicitly imply that any quote from Jesus is 100% true. Yet, when Jesus prays to God (essentially himself), he asks that the church stay as “one” as He and the father are “one”. He goes on to say that the gate of hell will come against the church but “they will not prevail”. After reading that, with the sola in mind, wouldn’t you say that Christ said there is one church, that he established, that will always stay as one? That church, one and holy, of apostolic succession, is the Roman Catholic Church. God bless you Trent, you helped me so much in my conversion to Catholicism, Christ was always waiting, but you helped show me the way
Well, your definition of church may be different than other Christians’ definition. Some Christians think that church has more than one meaning. It could refer to a specific congregation, or it could refer to the royal priesthood of believers. I am a man and I could be wrong so please forgive me Lord if I have erred in this comment. This is just a thought I had. Here is an excerpt from the Catholic Public Domain Version Bible, which seems to state that a church congregation can be wrong and it can be tested by other believers. “And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God: I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 CPDV
I'm a Protestant but am not a fan of this Josh guy. All he really does is promote division and misrepresent others. He has a really bad/extreme concept of Sola Scriptura.
Trent I am sure you are aware of the very anti-Catholic John MacArthur. His ignorance of Catholic teaching drives me crazy. I’ve heard half of his almost cult following is fallen away Catholic.
I was invited to hear one of MacAruthur's Assistant Pastors give a talk many years back. His claim to fame in the handout was that he was (then) a current Assistant Chief of Police under Darryl Gates, and a former Romanist Seminarian. Well I listened to the first talk, and it was full of holes, most of the time he would say things like, There are different kinds of Masses, in which the priest magically makes Jesus come down from heaven, each with a different amount of Power, there are Solemn High Masses with three priests, Solemn Mass, Sung Mass, High Mass, Recited Mass and Said Masses, Requiem Masses and one called a Missa Sicca which I don't know what it is. I was introduced to him after as my neighbor thought, "we got him, and the Pastor will reel him in." So I mentioned that his sources must have been pre-Vatican II, and that I prefer to go to the Latin Mass, although I'll go to the Byzantine or Ordinary Form (as it's now called) as they were all the same thing with the same Infinite graces, as they are the actions of Jesus and not the priest. That Christ works through His priesthood which he shares with the Church through those ordained into His priesthood. I also asked since he really did not know what the different Mass were, as they were simply the External solemnity that was used in the celebration, and the Missa Sicca was not a Mass, but a devotional act used by some Cloistered monks which followed the text of the Mass up to the just before offertory then skipped to the Pater, (the Latin threw him for a loop.) Or as the latin says a Dry Mass, or practice of the rite which a deacon preforms to practice offering Mass so he does have preparation prior to ordination. His eyes opened wider. Then I asked, so you say you went to the Seminary, having family who are cops, and knowing that many were involved in petty crimes as kids until sent to reform school. Was the Seminary you went to, (I mentioned the name of a local High School Seminary that no longer exists) which was used more as a Catholic reform school for bad boys than for fostering vocations? He admitted that was his story. I'm no saint and don't have the charisms of Padre Pio, but Abp Sheen once said, those priests who abandon the Faith and attack it usually show what kind of sin they committed by attacking the things they failed in before they left or were expelled from the Clergy. Sorry for being so long.
I did actually interpret that part of the catechism a little bit wrong I just basically think now looking at it but it means that we must love each other and be able to have open discussion
The Old Testament Canon in Jesus' time was a Tradition, who decided the canon of that time? Who decided Psalms was scripture and not a mere collection of songs? It was not temple authority, for they (Sadducees) denied the existence of sacred scripture outside the books of Moses, Jesus by oral Tradtition believe that there were books beyond the Pentateuch. Advanced Bible commentaries show that the apostles use many traditions founded in the Targums (aramaic translations that included many oral traditions in the scripture narratives).
I know some people may have perspectives on me but I am saying this because people need to escape from the harlot. This is based from scripture not from mine opinions, please be alert of world power.
I feel like most Protestant pastors/leaders have certain pride because they know that, unlike the Catholic Church, they have more competition within Protestantism itself. Each are competing for more followers, to become the new/next MEGA church (Joel Osteen). It’s frustrating but sad at the same time.

" If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." (Matt 16:24-25)

As a past Protestant I can say deep down it is pride. A learned Protestant sticks to their belief as they claim the Bible is their authority. However, in reality it is them themselves. As a Protestant you can twist scripture however you like to make it conform to your wanted beliefs.
Whereas Catholics ignore scripture claiming their tradition bears equal weight, even when it conflicts with Holy scripture. At least the Protestants attempt to adhere to Gods word. To the Catholic, it’s nothing more than a guide rather than the one, and only, source of instruction on salvation and sanctification. Seems like a pot/kettle example applies here.

Great post.
Yup. The absurdity of fundamentalism reduced to senseless attack mode.
Perhaps you misunderstand what Protestants do understand.--Why must Catholics talk in circles and over complicate things?
We should try to get along with everyone, but don't make statements that can be misconstrued. And they can be. If you worship "the unknown God", the point is that you should accept Jesus along with the Holy Spirit in order to know the Father because the Father and Son are One. No man comes to the Father except by me-- is what Jesus says.
So just because someone is a monotheist, does not mean the same god is worshipped by all.
This does not mean we all should not live in peace.

@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian There is nothing in a statue. You can't just ignore the Bible which states clearly that a statue is an inanimate piece of plaster, wood, etc. Like a doll or something. It is nothing.
@@tatie7604 Nowhere are the Catholics told to worship statues. Now we can debate about the practice of prayers to the saints- I have grave reservations about that myself, but as far as actually worshipping statues, cite a non-anecdotal source that shows it's official doctrine or concede the point.
What Josh is essentially claiming is that there existed a process (by divine design) of relocating apostolic authority and doctrine from the living apostles to their writings - positively excluding any transmission of that same authority to their successors. This process developed until the death of the last apostle at which point no Christian had or needed any other apostolic authority than the apostolic writings.
The problem with this theory is that it does not match what we know about the church in the late first, second, third, and fourth centuries. The evidence from that early period tells a different story about the transmission of divine revelation, a story that much more closely matches the Catholic theory of apostolic succession. The church at that time shows no evidence of behaving as if sola scriptura were true.
Josh’s theory of the total relocation of apostolic authority and doctrine to the apostolic writings alone upon the death of the last apostle is an ad hoc theory designed to justify the 16th century doctrine of sola scriptura. But when we examine the early post-apostolic evidence we discover a community operating very differently than the Christian communities that have historically embraced sola scriptura over the last five-hundred years.
It is self-defeating to try and evade this criticism by claiming that the early post-apostolic church was a corrupt or false form of Christianity over against the Bible, which allegedly teaches sola scriptura, since the very text and canon assumed by that argument comes to us through the allegedly corrupt or false church - and only appears in its present canonical form hundreds of years into the history of that allegedly corrupted or false church that by that time was undeniably Catholic.
In short, if I’m not going to trust the judgement of the church of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th century in matters of apostolic doctrine, then I have no reason to trust its judgment regarding the canon of scripture. And if I reject its judgment regarding the canon of scripture, then there is no canon of scripture.

Good attempt of rebatle but Trent doesnt use scripture to back up catholic doctrine rather uses phycologial human reasoning why sola scrpiture is not enough (GOD is able to perserve HIS WORD) but Trent doesnt believe that and believes what ?

I think it's very interesting that Protestant Apologist insist that Catholics teach a false Gospel while misrepresenting what Catholics actually teach and then tell you what their interpretation of Scripture is. If they were following what I see Catholic Apologist do and give the strongest possible argument for Protestantism and then refute it, I guarantee most of these well read Protestant Apologist will convert to the true faith. We do know however that this would take a great in-working of grace from the Holy Spirit, since it is only by grace that we are drawn to God and live in him. Many of these Protestant Apologist likely on some level know the truth but continually reject his voice (although this is a presumption on my part).
They teach a lot of false teachings, they claim that Jesus will be on earth which never mentions on scripture (doctrine of false Christ), idolatry and carved images, Sunday change was originated from sun worship, Jesus rested on the seventh day (Saturday), Bible says that the Sabbath is a perpetual covenant.
There is Hope! Terrible and very weak arguments. First of all, the Vatican isn’t on the seven hills of Rome, it’s actually on the other side of Rome. Not only that but I can show you multiple Seventh Fay Adventist preachers wearing Purple and Red. It’s a color. The Church wears the color Red for martyrs and the Blood of Christ. The purple represents sacrifice. Also the Bible talks about the apostles worshiping on Sunday and the early Christians believed it.
Gavin Grinny Yes you are right, I made a lazy mistake about saying it was on Vatican instead of Rome. I haven’t heard of Protestant preachers having red or scarlet but likely wouldn’t have a strong religious power from my point of view. I would be interested in knowing anywhere in the scripture it would say to worship on Saturday. The issue with the Roman Catholic Church although is that they do have resemblance with changing set times and laws, being the only big religious power to wear scarlet and purple, the little horn in Daniel is from the Roman Empire split/growth into ten kingdoms. It does interpret that they will be wondered and marveled by the world. The majority of Christians are known to be Catholic and they are becoming like the majority. In the last days the saints (saints are the spiritual Israelites, children of God) will be saved but the door will be narrow. There is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church of the end times that is really similar to the false Christ. Jesus Christ said he will be coming in the clouds to lift our heads up but he nevered said he will touch earth. They think Jesus will come in earth which is unbiblical and it would be werid that people will deceived by the false Christ after the coming of Jesus. The will be a man of sin (pope I identify) that will be with this man claiming to be Christ which would be controlled by Satan. I hope you got to see my point of view.
There is Hope! Islam wears purple and scarlet all the time and so does Hinduism. I personally believe that either Emperor Nero is the AntiChrist or Islam. Remember the Antichrist has to deny that Jesus is the Christ. The Catholic Church has been saying that Jesus is the Christ for over 1,900 years
@@user-pk5fo9yo8x This doesn't make sense. You are saying that a denomination of Christianity is on trial to the be the Antichrist spoken of in Scripture because of the amount of souls it has helped...What? What sort of logic is that? "Christ said only those who take the road not taken can enter Heaven. The Catholic Church has a lot of members. Therefore, the Church is a false Church and spreads a false Gospel." This has no sound argument to it. If tomorrow, every soul were to leave the Catholic Church and join the Baptist Church, then the same logic would have to be applied to it as well. Do you see how this doesn't fit together? Using the quantitative data concerning the number of members in a denomination/religion as basis for a claim as large as denouncing it as the Antichrist is a slippery slope, since it has no basis to it. Also, the Antichrist probably wouldn't want to come as a Pope. 1) What the Pope says is not law for the entirety of the Church, as the "papal infallibility" people hear about is only invoked when defining a certain doctrine/dogma for the faith. It has no bearing of control on people. 2) People can ignore the Pope's flaws should he do something they feel is not in following with the faith. That has been done many times over with past Popes, and people do it now with Pope Francis. 3) All of these points summed into one, the Antichrist will be a person of such charisma and influence that everyone will feel, personally, as if they simply must listen to this man, and obey what he says. This doesn't apply to the Pope, as his position isn't to be the ultimate head of the Church (that is Christ's position), but to be a representative/steward/shepherd of His people on earth. Also, to say that Scripture says Christ will not come to earth again is absolutely incorrect, and to say that Scripture says otherwise implies you may have not read much from it. Acts 1:11, as the Apostles and Jesus' Mother are looking at where Christ Ascended into Heaven, they are greeted by angels that tell them that Christ will literally "come back in the same way you have seen Him go to Heaven". Also, the Book of Revelation talks about Christ preparing a New Earth (referred to as "the world to come" in the Nicene Creed) in Revelation 21. It goes into explicit detail of Him doing away with everything and then making it new. And if that isn't enough, Revelation 21:3 says that a voice from the Throne of God shouted, "And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them!" The very same Scripture you say supports that Christ would never return to earth to stay refutes your statement. There is a New Heaven and a New Earth coming in Christ's renewal, and He will come to bring it here, not make it far away. The Holy Catholic Church has always taught this, is teaching this, and will continue to do so. So, "prepare the way of the Lord".

Bc when i came back to the faith, i was walking around telling people im a reborn again Christian, without knowing what that really meant 🤦🏻♂️ but since i knew the problems with protestantism christianity, i went back to the early apostolic church fathers, & read my way into the RCC.
Even thou I almost became an eastern orthodox, i softened my heart, & just prayed to God for truth.
As i always start a conversation with atheists, i ask them, if Christianity were true would u be a Christian, most of them say "NO", thats when i know to dust off and move on to the next soul.
So i took my own advice, and said to the Lord if Catholicism is true, I'll be a catholic Lord, so I see it as, not that i read myself into the church alone, but by reading and praying to God, having discernment, asking God show me were im wrong, thats what i believe is the only way, a protestant, r orthodox Christians will see the truth of the RCC.
Bc when i talk to orthodoxs, i ask them this question about Catholicism, 9 out 10 they all say no ill never be a Roman Catholic, it hurts me so bad, bc alot of the orthodoxs ik were ex-protestants.
So it all boils down to hatred for the RCC, and that's why people can't see it, bc they choose not to see it, and that's when God will not uncircumcised your heart, he will hand you over to reprobated mind.

I absolutely love these rebuttals. As a recent convert they are so helpful. Before I converted I listened to many debates and it is so helpful to have both interpretations in one place. Too many protestants making videos that misrepresent the teachings of the church. Very frustrating.
Exactly. And if you think about, protestants only resort to apologetics when is convenient. The protestant in the video defended christianity (against islam) from an historical point of view: he said there were witnesses, he also said there aren't serious scholars claiming Jesus never resurrected and so on.
But when they face the Catholic Church, they are _bye bye historicity_ and _hello sola scriptura_ . Suddenly they toss 1,500 years of preexistence of christianity, and resort to " _you know why Catholic Church is wrong? Here are (MY INTERPRETATION ON) some verses that contradicts your Church's teaching_ ". Translation: pure subjective arguments.
Protestants are cornered to to this, because from an historic point of view they know they can't pull out most of their doctrines before Luther.
Watching some debates may be good but we always have to make sure that we have enough time to be alone with God ( praying fasting and studying the word ) ; I say that because I was so addicted to debates and I know many people here on RUclips are , being addicted to debates does not help at all if our private life with God is nonexistent( or very weak).

I became totally obsessed, reading books and listening to debates and even watching movies and TV shows about Jesus like The Chosen, which elicited such profound and cathartic emotional responses that I got sucked in even deeper. I just decided to suspend my disbelief and humor Jesus for a moment, and that moment never ended, because the Spirit immediately reciprocated my incipient faith with a gesture of his own and gave me the gift of prayer.
I think at least for some people (probably especially atheists) it's a 3-step process. The Spirit opens one's mind to the possibility; evidence and rational thought fill the mind; the individual assents to faith, because even though they haven't been given 100% certainty (which is impossible, even for a trivial scientific claim like "matter exists"), they _have_ been given a preponderance of evidence, with which they can conclude that it's more likely true than not, and so make a choice to assent. Bishop Barron says it's like trusting a person when they tell you some deeper truth about themselves that can't be verified empirically.
So clearly it's important, at least for some people, to know 1) that the Christian claims are not impossible, haven't been proven false, haven't even been proven unlikely, and aren't _a priori_ philosophically silly or improbable or irrational; and 2) that there is good evidence for at least some of the most important Christian claims, and very good evidence for the circumstantial details, like the overall narrative of how the Church came to exist. I think without demonstrating those things, it's gonna be practically impossible to convince a modern, millennial atheist, because of the extent to which we worship Popperian epistemology.
That said, it's so easy for someone with that mindset to lose sight of what's really important and why. Obviously, Christianity is important _because_ it's true. If it were just a bunch of beautiful poetry and mythology, it might be worth consuming in a manner similar to exquisite art, but it would not be any more important than any other hobby or interest. However, provided we can accept that it's true, we then need to focus on chasing the future that God wants for us. What that's gonna look like will be different for everyone, and many (myself included) will still be discerning that for a long time. But at the very least, everyone can pray daily, confess his or her sins and commune with Christ himself at mass.
It is not that they misrepresent anything , it is that you do reject the Truth !
@@isrberlinerin4063 Nope!
There is something that really troubles me with our pentecostal brothers and sisters.... the pride and that "you dont know anything,let me teach you" vibe.....makes me really sad
"If you continue in *_MY WORD_* THEN you are my disciple indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" Jesus (John 8:31-32)
It would be understandable if they weren't so obviously, laughably wrong.
Was it not the Catholic Church that canonized the Scriptures?
There is Hope! Sorry, but this isn’t correct. The Greek Orthodox Church didn’t split from Roman Catholicism until after 1000ad. The canonized scriptures had been in place for centuries before that.
Adam Cegelka Have you seen the rest of the paragraph? Yes the Roman Catholic system took the Bible but they hidden it for other people to see. Martin Luther was a purest but seeing the Roman Catholic telling people to pay taxes to them and doing unbiblical doctrine is not something to be fine with. I hope you seen my paragraph and maybe try to get an understanding.
@@user-pk5fo9yo8x Martin Luther was not some kind of hero who brought the Bible to the people, he was on the contrary a good for nothing except dividing and I tell this to you as a former Protestant.
He liberated no one with his modified Bible which wasn't even the first in the German language.
For example on Catholic German Bibles, one German Bible version alone, first printed in 1466, had 16 editions printed before Luther's New Testament appeared in 1522. The first French New Testament appeared in 1478, five years before Luther's birth, and the complete French Bible in 1487. The Italians had theirs in 1471, the Dutch in 1477. The Swedes, the Bohemians, Slavs, Russians and Danes all had vernacular Bibles, circulated with *full ecclesiastical support.*
You were all lied to like me, Protestants can't do proper Church History.
Destynation Q He divided people from the harlot which is for certain. I likely wouldn’t probably be able to access The Bible if Martin Luther didn’t list these things out. Other than the reformation the Roman Catholic doctrine is still performing idolatry and carved image while changing the Sabbath which sunday was changed into because of sun worship. The Roman Catholic system knows what they are doing is not based on Bible scripture ethier.
@@user-pk5fo9yo8x Hello? Did you even read my entire comment or are you in denial now?
16 different German editions of the Bible before Martin Luther, that idiot didn't do jack other than abuse the new technology of the printing press.
That's why everyone did not have a Bible, because before the printing press it was literally *financially impossible* to even try Sola Scriptura mentality.
You are so ignorant.
Having been raised as a Baptist, son and grandson of well meaning Baptist Pastors, I came to realize that most Protestant doctrinal tenets are based on a naive and superficial reading of the Bible and that Catholic teaching is much stronger and deeper than I was taught to believe.
The key here is research. A lot of protestants are happy not digging any further than their pastors exaltations that the RCC is the work of Satan.
You've not seen CAnswers TV, have you?
Catholics drag people so deep into the hermeneutical pit so that they can bring any doctrine they want out of it. I’d rather just read the verse as it says.
@@colepriceguitar1153 I mean if you lack the knowledge to go that deep then that's one thing. But to say because something is deep which is the word of God therefore it must not be worth the effort is quite illogical and lazy
@@kadeshswanson3991 I'm just saying Catholics tend to go so far into the verse and end up bringing something out of it that it does not say.

Finally Alex will have someone that can actually challenge him
@Qwerty I'm not disagreeing. That's why it's so frustrating to see so many christian apologists not really challenging him properly. My hope is that Trent will finally show Alex why his thinking is incorrect.
But at least Alex is much more polite than the average internet atheist.
@@TheWorldsStage That's why I actually kind of appreciate people like Cosmic Skpetic because at least they are thinking of the big things in life and presenting such opinions in a (mostly) respectful manner. Although i think his views are completely wrong.
I agree with most of these replies. CS is smarter than your average hatetheist , but I think he's met his match in Trent.
Thank you for doing these long rebuttal videos! I appreciate all of your work, and how much time and effort you put into it. You have answered a lot of the questions I have had about Catholicism, and are one the resources I used on my way to becoming Catholic. Thank you!
hey Trent! I am a Protestant, so I have some different views, but I really appreciate your work! God bless

All non-Catholics go to hell. Look at vaticancatholic.com to see true Catholicism and how to be saved.
@@GM-uy3cm that's not the way you judge non-Catholics, brother. I know a lot of protestants just don't know or been not told about the early (same as the present) church's teachings and so they've been misinformed, therefore, some just are going by what they been limited to that and so they do mean well to fallow of Christ's teachings but it will take some time for the damage Martin Luther has done but also by the lack in some of our Church bishops for ignoring his concerns as fellow priest...priests should not be belittled no matter what his status is. Anyway...I'll admit sometimes I'm not very charitable when some of them start with sarcasm and telling us about our faith rather than asking us if that's what we actually believe...
@@GM-uy3cm What if they buy a bunch of indulgences? Does the Roman church still sell those?
@@kevinmiller6443 let me remind or inform you, if you are not Catholic or avoiding purposely to enter the Church because of some human sins then yes you or people like your mentality will end up in hell and you better check out Protestantism's own wrong doings which they are even worse in many occasions in using the "bible alone" false concept . And your founder Martin Luther was not leaving Catholic Church because of its teachings but because he was influenced by Jews that purposely avoided the 7 books of OT because they wanted to cause confusion and have them forget about what has always been originally Christian as Catholic among the Christian Jews, just as they did with the help creating Islam against Middle Eastern Christian Catholics...I'm Eastern Catholic Christian- we've all always been Catholic with or without what you protestants think as it's just "Roman Catholic". All true Christians been Catholic in practice and that prove is from both Western and Eastern Early Church Fathers that knew the apostles. There is nothing you can say that disproves anything. I know protestants will say "bible alone" yet will try to find answers they don't understand from various pastors that are unaffiliated with theirs. Sorry but you protestants are lost if you are purposely resisting anything Catholic and it's dangerous many other false religions are taking advantage of you especially in the west. Study well!
@@GM-uy3cm Pope Pius XII and the Holy Office already addressed Fr. Feeney and the misrepresentation of Extra Ecclesia. If you read what they both wrote, you will see what the mind of the Church is.

Josh adds words to the Bible, than says how the Church is unbiblical.
Also if he's using the current KJV they removed books that was in the first King James Version 1611. The King James Version 1611 aka Authorized King James Bible had all the books that the Catholic Bible does. The deuterocanonical books were removed later.
Dr Brante Pitre talks about it in this video below that is link to the actual KJV 1611>
Origin of the Bible Preview, part 1, by Dr. Brant Pitre ruclips.net/video/0k0UV2Zi5X0/видео.html
KJV 1611 - King James Bible archive.org/details/KJV1611
Outline of The Origin of the Bible: Human Invention or Divine Intervention?
From the King James Version to Today (1611-2007 A.D.)
1. Most Famous Protestant Bible: the King James Version
a. Originally called the “Authorized Version”
b. Published in 1611 A.D. (“authorized” by the King)
c. Revered by Many Protestants to this day (“King James Only” Christians)
2. KJV was originally published with the 7 Books! (see 1611 edition)
a. 7 “Apocrypha” were placed at end of the Old Testament (+1 and 2 Esdras)
b. Also Published with Liturgical Calendar of Saints Feast Days!
c. Archbishop George Abbot: sentenced printers 1yr for printing KJV’s w/out the Apocrypha!
c. Only later were they removed, along with cross-references to the 7 Books (after 1615 A.D.)
“[W]hatever may be our personal opinions of the Apocrypha, it is a historical fact that they formed an
integral part of the King James Version, and any Bible claiming to represent that version should either
include the Apocrypha, or state that it is omitting them. Otherwise a false impression is created.” (Edgar
Goodspeed, Formation of the New Testament, 7)
3. After 1650’s: Most Protestant Bibles omitted the 7 Books
a. Apocrypha are far most part forgotten
b. Most Protestants do not know they were ever a part of their Bible
4. The Bible Today: Proliferation of Translations
a. Douay-Rheims Version (NT, 1582; OT 1609; Catholic trans. of Latin Vulgate)
b. King James Version (1611; Protestant)
c. Revised Standard Version (1950-1966; Catholic and Protestant Editions)
d. New American Bible (1970, rev. 1986; Catholic) e. New International Version (1973; Protestant) cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1202/2816/files/the-origin-of-the-bible.pdf?8114344952713649356

Trent, we need more rebuttals of Protestant misconceptions, accusations and lies. This is vital for Protestants and Catholics to know the truth. So go for it in a big way on a number of topics. Don't neglect the task. We should not be allowed to be led by false teachers.
You are already led by a diabolical catholic religion that teaches false doctrines and you have the nerve to call a protestant liar . The arrogance and ignorance you catholics display speaks volumes !
This video gives me the same vibe as anti-Catholic political propaganda during the mid-1800s in the US. Massively misrepresentative, prideful, and non-academic.

When you said “I dare you to search on google.”
It says on various articles and Wikipedia
“The title City of Seven Hills usually refers to 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗘.” Archaeologists suggest that “Rome began as an 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗩𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦.”

They weren’t counted as Seven Hills because the Vatican’s 3 Hills are outside the boundaries of Rome.
And that is my dare, my friend.

Trent Horn has become my favorite apologist concerning all things Christian and Catholic. Whip smart, extremely well read and with a gracious, winsome style, I stand amazed that someone this young can be this wise. The right man God has raised up for such a time as this. Praying for you my friend. And proud to support your ministry. I would encourage others to do the same.
@counsel of trent how do you listen and respond to this type of stuff without getting riled up? It's something I have always admired about you when watching you explain and debate
People like Josh are what you get when you reject the authority of the true Church and set out the have your own church. You get all these keen, half-informed, minimally-opposed, people who think they have these great gotchas that have been repeatedly refuted.
People like you are what you get when people with monumental egos reject the basic child like tenets of the Christain faith for a religion formed on high minded pseudo profound arguments that sound intellectual and above on the surface to make your self look and appear intellegent to man.
I love when you point out that the Canon of Scripture was authoritatively declared (also the revelation in Jesus was passed on for the first couple of decades by oral tradition before anything was written).
Love this man Trent horn. Thank you for defending our Faith!!!!

I'm new to Catholicism coming from a secular worldview so these protestant theologies are also new to me. But they always seem like they're splitting hairs. At some point, any of these non-denominational or whatever Christian churches must have a council of their own and decide what the scriptures mean to them. How is that different from what the Catholic church is doing? Except the Catholic church has the intellectual pedigree. There always seems to be some pride embedded in these pastor guys. They way they say things like "So now listen to this!" like they have a secret to reveal. Not to mention this guy obviously has resentment.
The guy Josh...has resentment even for his fellow protestant Pastors...I've watched many of his videos he does not seem to agree with anyone...
Love is the only way
You named it....PRIDE..
@David Ortiz "traffickers for a buck"
You may want to be careful there... Especially, since your pope sits on a golden thrown. LOL
The problem is most aside from the first Protestant Sects simply set up a new denomination when they get prompted by the "Spirit" that the pastor of the church they visit now is wrong, and they are correct.
When he tried to use the will and testament analogy, I just laughed knowing Trent would destroy that. A will and testament has a successor in interest, and that person or persons interprets and organizes the will. Fits perfect for the Catholic Church
It's ironic that at 29:20, Josh is actually talking about himself in this prediction as someone who leads people astray and he doesn't realize it.
Honestly, I yelled out, Awesome!, at work today when Trent said he was going to debate CosmicSkeptic!
Shaun Simmons Trent will get destroyed. He should stay away from that guy
@@ImTiredOfThisChurch Cool story, bro.
@@ImTiredOfThisChurch Now that's happened who do you think did better? I'm biased towards Trent but Alex did a good job holding his ground were he chose to hold it.
I am glad that some Catholics are being awakened and studying the Bible to know and understand the Truth, which is in Christ Jesus alone. But, let it be according to the leading, inspiration and interpretation of the Holy Spirit. For the light of the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding far exceeds than any man-made or man's interpretation by his own understanding. ( Acts 2:38-39; John 16:13-15; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 3:5; Job 32:8 )
Let me share a testimony of my spiritual experience and the dream I dreamed, which God has given me, concerning ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. In my dream, I saw a Parish Church building of medium size where mass service was being held. The church building was almost full of people on its sitting capacity. The mass attendees were all sitting and the service was going on. What was shocking was that the one who was performing the service on the altar who was supposed to be the priest was completely naked from head to feet. He was not standing, but lying, facing upward and floating on the air, just one or two feet above the altar table. All people could see him completely naked. Yet, it seemed that they did not mind it, and even enjoyed the sight as if nothing abominable was going on at the altar. I sensed an atmosphere of quietness and loneliness inside the church building. The people were in slumber and seemed to be hypnotized.

The people were in slumber and seemed to be hypnotized.
When I woke up in the morning, I was somewhat troubled in my thoughts as I recalled the dream. Yet, immediately I received the light of its meaning. The message is clear that it is about the spiritual condition and state of the "Roman Catholic Church", its leaders and members. God revealed to me how 'ABOMINABLE' is the Roman Catholic Church before Him. She is 'NAKED', 'BLIND' and 'DECEIVED'. ( Revelation 4:14-20 - The church of Laodiceans; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Romans 10:1-3; 11:8-10; Matthew 15:14; Ephesians 5:12-14; Hosea 4:1-18; Zephaniah 3:1-4 )
Since my birth, I grew up following the Roman Catholic doctrine, belief and practices until the day I got 'born again in my spirit' when I prayed the 'prayer of justification' in the Name of the Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. On that day of my new birth, instantly I stopped drinking alcoholic drinks and smoking at the 'same time', for THE LORD had REMOVED from within me the desire of it. Immediately I was filled with the 'HOLY GHOST'. Afterward, something like a SEED, broke open in my heart, wherein out of it an UNSPEAKABLE JOY filled my whole being within that lasted for many days. Then it was followed by many godly and biblical spiritual experiences and one of these was to dream dreams. ( Acts 2:17; 2:38-39; 3:19-20 ; Ephesians 3:16-20; 5:18; John 3:3-8; 1 Peter 1:8; Matthew 13:23 )
May the followers of the Roman Catholic Church be awakened and know the Truth that will set them free, which is in Christ Jesus alone and the Word of God, the Holy Bible. They have the zeal of God, but NOT according to knowledge. They are LUKEWARM, because their faith is NOT according to the WORD and TRUTH. Having the form of godliness, but denying the POWER thereof. They are LACKING in the knowledge of God and Truth. They are blind, naked and deceived because of FALSE DOCTRINE, BELIEFS and PRACTICES. ( John 8:32; Romans 10:2; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 45:20; Revelation 3:15-16; 2 Timothy 3:5; Hosea 4:1, 6 )
I am sharing this dream in obedience to the Word of The LORD in Jeremiah 23:28, that says, 'The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell of a dream..' Daniel 7:1 - '..then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.' Amos 3:4 - 'Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?..' Amos 3:5 - 'Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him?..' Amos 3:6 - 'Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not afraid?..' Amos 3:7 - 'Surely the LORD GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.' Numbers 12:6 - 'And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. Luke 8:17 - 'For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.' Revelation 3:22 - 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.' Revelation 19:10 - '..the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.'
The Roman Catholic Church is HEAVILY CONTAMINATED with FALSE doctrine, beliefs and practices ( including traditions ) that makes it "ABOMINABLE" before God. It is because they take lightly the Word of God to live and walk in it's POWER and WISDOM which is Christ Jesus in every believer who is saved, born of God in the spirit and filled with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk with God in Spirit and in Truth in all holiness, righteousness and justice of the Spirit, which the Lord Jesus had 'set up' in the Cross of Calvary. ( Jeremiah 51:27 )
The message of the LORD our God in a vision of my head upon my bed concerning the Roman Catholic Church is very clear that all it's followers ( leaders and members ) should take heed to this VERY SERIOUS WARNING!!!
I hope and pray that each catholic followers will SERIOUSLY EXAMINE their INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL STATE and CONDITION before God for the sake of their soul.
May they all be awakened, received the white raiment that they may be clothed, their eyes be anointed with eye salve that they may be healed from their blindness and be free from deception that is prevailing within the RCC. ( Revelation 3:18 )
They must know and remember that The LORD our God did not placed anything between man and His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for his or her Salvation and Redemption; not even angels, saints, nor our fellow men and any material things and images, and man-made recital prayers!!!
The BEST thing the 'catholic followers' can do is to TURN TO the WORD of GOD, the HOLY BIBLE. READ, STUDY AND MEDITATE upon it always that they may know the TRUTH that will set them FREE from FALSE doctrine, beliefs and practices ( including traditions ). ( Psalm 1; Colossians 3:16; John 8:31-32 )
To God be the Glory and Honor alone! God bless and graces to all.
Great rebutted video as usual. Catholics need this. Thanks
Hi Trent! Love your videos! As a protestant who's leaning towards Catholicism I was wondering if you can make a video responding to Jay Dyer's video called "Top 10 Reasons Why I'm Not Roman Catholic". He's a popular orthodox apologist who critiques Catholicism and he kind of makes me doubt the Catholic faith, especially the fact that no Catholics ever responds to his critiques.
YES!! I'm in the same boat!! I really hope Trent sees this and respond to one of Jay's videos!!!!
Hi, so happy you are taking this journey. do you speak spanish? if so please look this catholic priest Padre Luis Toro. look for the topic that you need more help with, he explains everything. as he knows protestant doctrine. blessing to you.
I m not a Roman Catholic either. Roman Catholics live in the diocese of Rome only. I m a Catholic.
I'll have a look at that video I may be able to answer a few of the objections.
The essence energies distinction amongst the eastern church disproves orthodoxy
I always find ironical & sad to hear protestants say _"if we can understand the source/cause of an error (referring to Catholic teachings), then it's easier to understand how the other things are symptoms of such error"._ If they could apply this little process to their own beliefs, that'd be great.
I was once sent this video to tell me how wrong the Catholic Church is,,, but when I started asking him some questions on the video, he quickly abondoned it,,
I'm very happy to see this rebuttal,,
Thank you #Trent,,,
This is amazing. You’re rebuttal is amazing, Mr. Horn!!
Your*
Finally getting a chance to watch this. Solid stuff Trent.
Lets do this Trent.
Please do a video on refuting Sedevacantism!
Please you are the chosen one Trent!!!
We need good refutations so we can battle them.
Please do not tell me the same one that all Catholic Apologists use about the gates of hell will not prevail from the gospel.
We need refutations to their points like why Vatican 2 is not anti Catholic etc...
The best argument I've heard from sedevacantist is actually pope Paul IV Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio
Apostolic Constitution - 15 February 1559, they use this all the time and they have a valid argument. The one thing that sets red flags off regarding this bull is the fact its left out of all Dezingers editions and by all accounts Paul IV was never put forward for canonization due to his extreme views of Jews, Spanish and heretics etc, he even said he would carry the wood to burn his own father if he was a heretic........ Somebody needs to explain all this
That would be amazing, Joey! I'm hoping Trent see your comment and consider doing a video on sedevacantism!
Magnus please let people upvote so that Trent can see it. I am hoping he does rebuttals for the youtube channel VaticanCatholic who are a group of Sedevacantists and post a lot of anti catholic videos.
I have constantly been posting on Trents channel hoping he will see it as many other religious groups use their arguments against catholics and im not an expert in this.
Common Trent this is my idea of a Snyder Cut. Release the trentcut please!!!!!!!
Trent I love u and your videos. If I did not I will not subscribe and beg u for your arguments. The way you pose your rebuttals is easy to understand, fact based and honestly a gem for us.
If this matter was not serious I would not stress on you for the videos. We need to bring back our brothers and sisters home. You have the knowledge that we do not. If you teach us how to fish we can catch more fish. It is critical brother please.
Literally no one on RUclips or online even are posing good rebuttals.
Everyone uses the verse from the gospels that the gates of hell will not prevail... and I agree as a Catholic....
But our brothers and sisters who are not convinced will not agree because to begin with they don’t even believe the Catholic Church is the church of Christ.
I have good reason to believe that it’s the Catholic Church majorly because of the miracles that St. Rita (Italy) and St. Charbel (Lebanon) have done in my life.
I love the Catholic Church (despite the bad flock and corruption that we have, but as you yourself once said it’s our duty to make it good again and fight the corruption).
Even Catholic Answers don’t have good rebuttals. Just check the comment section and see how people are unhappy.
This is a major issue Trent. Please brother!
@@joeykordahi9927 Sedevacantism is also an issue here in Brazil. There are so many channels over here that are sedevacants and we don't see many people debunking their arguments like it should be done, but otherwise, more and more people becoming sedevacants or what we call as "radtrads". It's a shame seeing so many people calling the Pope on bad names.
There's also a huge problem: the "intellectual mentor" of our government and partisans is a "catholic" (100% heretic btw), and is always criticizing the Pope and promoting channels on sedevacantism. He's not a sedevacant himself, but does not accept Francis as being the actual pope.
Magnus You should see in Nigeria man.
Everyone in Nigeria thinks the Pope is AntiChrist.
It’s terrible.
It’s so sad to hear Brazil having sedevacantists.
I used to hear Brazil was a strong Catholic hold.
Brother Magnus thank u for also seeking and asking for Trent for rebuttals.
I will pray for you my brother. One love my main.
I just wish Trent would see our comments. It is something we would share and use to help bring our brothers home.
A Maronite Priest (Maronite is a sect of Catholics) once told me their are two kinds of priests (Altar Priests, Everyday Priests).
Altar priests are those who will perform the liturgy, bless the people, perform the Eucharist etc...
Everyday Priests are those who bring people back home!!!
You and I are everyday priests. And tents material will help our mission.
Trent Horn's rebuttal is precise. Love his rebuttal. Keep up God's work which was assign to you. God Bless you Trent.
I'm not even catholic but if I had to pick between catholic and reformed (as a matter of life and death with no other choice), I'd pick catholic (it'd be an easy choice) and for me I found this to be a massive demolishing of Josh.
Hardly. & You mean Roman Catholic.
I am amazed at the thorough respone to each and every single point that Josh puts forward.
Proud to have Trent Horn as my brother in Christ!
Trent please do some sedevacantist rebuttal videos

Lumen Gentium claims Islam worships the one true God together with the church. It says it right in the graphic.
That's absolutely incorrect. Islam denies Christ all together as God therfore that cant possibly worship Him.
Comparing Paul's experience to what lumen Gentium says is apples to oranges to what' v2 says about Islam...
Sad, really...

Yeeeeeaaaahhh! I’ve been waiting for a bit!
Have been waiting for a Trent rebuttal of this Josh dude
I found it lacking. But that’s because I study my bible.
@@pedromatos2631 Congratulations
@@BrianGondo should try it some time.
@@pedromatos2631 Been doing it all my life
Anyone else watching this again before going on to part 2? It's been nearly a month and a half, might as well catch up.
What fascinates me with people like Josh is that he expects us to accept HIS interpretation of the Bible rather than relying on the 2000 years that the magesterium of the Church teaches us. That is the whole point in the third pillar of the truth: the collective wisdom of the magesterium is much safer and far more reliable than any one individual trying to understand and preach it. If you need any further proof of this, just listen to Josh and the nonsense he speaks. It is like a kindergarten kid trying to teach a university graduate. The gates of Hades HAVE prevailed against people like him who are trying to draw people away from the Christian (ie CATHOLIC) Church.
Great job Trent. God bless you with the strength mentally and physically to continue rebutting these falsehoods spread against the One True Church.
"Let me tell you why Catholicism is wrong."
*pulls out a Quran*
The irony
Why would the Catholic Church even explore similarities between Christianity and Islam to begin with? It doesn’t help Christianity in any way and to lump Muslims into the “plan for salvation” doesn’t make much sense at all.
Forgive me if I’ve misquoted the CC regarding this matter. But shouldn’t it be our goal be to evangelize the Muslims and not give credence to any of their ideals?
My comment was not about the SAME PRONUNCIATION (Homophonic pun), but the Purpose (Context and Meaning) of the word COUNSEL which primarily means to ADVISE/ADVICE, and to GUIDE his viewers, and not to give REBUTTAL, REBUKE, SCOLD, CASTIGATE, REPRIMAND, DEBATE, etc... which is not the TRUE definition of the English word COUNSEL...
In other words, the owner of this Blog/Channel is Mr. TRENT... From the Blog's Title Name... "COUNSEL OF TRENT" which means in context and meaning, TRENT is giving ADVICE/ADVISE and GUIDANCE to his viewers... For example ... Counsel (advice/advise) of Paul, or Counsel (advice/advise) of Peter, etc...
We do not need the I.Q. of Einstein or Tesla to understand and comprehend my comment, logically speaking... unless... (you do the math/calculation)...
In John 10:16 Jesus said - I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also i must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one sheperd.
What does Rome teach about Romes authority?The Roman catholic position on these 21councils is that they have authority equal to the Bible,that's huge.This is official catholic teaching.These are not just opinions of individual catholics.This is official catholic doctrine.This is what they teach is infallible cannot be mistaken.Holy"mother church" is the one to whom it belongs to judge of their scriptures true sense in interpretation.The church decides what the Bible means and you are not allowed 🚫 to argue with it.That's the Rome catholic position.The official leadership in Rome.GALATIANS1:8...RADICALLY...RADICALLY DESTROYS ANY POSSIBILITY OF CHURCH AUTHORITY OVER THE HOLY SCRIPTURES HANDS DOWN...! BUT THOUGH WE,OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN,PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED UNTO YOU,LET HIM BE ACCURSED.ROMAN CATHOLICISM HAS A FALSE GOSPEL.
I’m so sad, I’ve read and heard the name Trent Horn probably 100 times while watching conversion stories and videos by searching Protestants like the Ten Minute Bible Hour and the guy Matt Fradd has been talking to, Bertuzzi? I’ve heard Trent’s name mentioning in company with apologists the likes of Scott Hahn and yet, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a video or heard his style of rebuttal.
I feel awful that I was so lazy and assumed he would just flow into my happy Catholic path, although he did today, but I’m sad I haven’t heard him before. I have a LOT of excellent videos to watch now, though, so I’m actually glad. lol
How’s it been going?
Welcome to the club! I just discovered his videos too, after seeing his name in so many places!! I am a revert to the Faith for the past 12 years, after completing RCIA classes from a very holy Deacon. It started me on a faith and intellectual journey that never ends, and it’s exciting! Our Faith is so much…the Word, the Sacraments, the Church Fathers, etc.
He is right: it is SO much more than the Word alone!
Thanks Trent for doing this rebutted.. greatly appreciated..
"if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" John 12:47-48

Josh doesn't want all the smoke as the kids say. I appreciate you doing this because it helps us the listener having to flip back and forth to piece it all together. God bless you hermano. I am listening to your book on Why Were Catholics and looking forward to your other content.
Thank you for defending our catholic faith🙏🏻❤️
God bless you Trent. Lord, pray for Christian UNITY 🙏
It's really funny to see this guy's self-assured attitude punctuated by Trent's counterpoints that totally dismantle his position. It really highlights his arrogance and how shallow it is.
Just discovered your channel! Subscribed!
As soon as I realized that I wanted to be my own pope I ran to the Catholic Church… I’ll just leave this here.
Thank you Trent
Ave Maria ❤️🔥
28:21 Yes, he was referring to the likes of Martin Luther , and you, Josh. How ironic that he uses this verse against the catholic church when it`s actually referring to his ilk. Indeed, who came from among the catholic church? that`s right, the protestants.
Haha how many times does Trent have to say, "It doesn't say faith alone..... you added that". Josh keeps pulling a Martin Luther and just chucking it in there. Another anti-Catholic apologist in Trent Horn's scrap heap.
You are right, righteousness, faith, love and hope but Love is the most important aspect.
Well it is true,justification by faith alone is unbiblical and heretical.
A man is justified by works amd not faith alone.
James 2:24
Obedience leads to justification
Romans 6:16
By your words you shall be justified.
Mathew 12:13
Mr Benedictine I bet you don’t obey the greatest commandment 24/7. Maybe you try , but you sin every day by not keeping it perfectly
@@Wgaither1 nobody obeys it perfectly. That's why Christ had to come, because we are all, by our very nature, imperfect. What's your point? Nobody disagrees with this. It's a Christian fundamental belief that we will all, always, fall short in some way.

You dont either.

1:13:25 the Bible does say what the gospel is. Paul proclaims the gospel here:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
King James Version
15 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
I just have one question about the catholic religion, how do you explain the changing of the sabbath and the law by removing the second commandment and breaking the last commandment into 2. This is a clue from daniel to tell us who the beast is can you do a video on this and explain how this happened.
I'm by no means a theologian, but the Catholic Church never changed the day of the Sabbath to Sunday.
If we group the
two "covet" commandments as one (as the
Protestants do) then we run the very real risk of
viewing women (spouses) as objects to be
owned. Clearly, there are two commandments
here because we're dealing with two different
sins (avarice and lust).
I think you better ask the Jews. They know exactly who the beast refers to then your Sabbath and everything else will fall into place. Daniel 7 is rooted in their history not the history of the Catholic Church
You said it at 36:00, that is exactly what the RC does. The RC Church interprets the word to put unnecessary works and traditions on believers. A lot of your traditions contradict the written word. Catholics can't accept the fact that Constantine corrupted the Roman church with paganism, and I have seen the pagan symbolism every time I stepped in the Catholic church. All the Baal symbols from the Baal temple. Just look up the temple of Baal and look at the symbols, and look up pagan symbols.Then look at the Vatican pictures and all the same symbols inside and out.
The icing on the cake in the fact that the RCC played a critical role in developing and spreading Darwinism. It was an RCC preacher that came up with, and popularized the big bang hypothesis. Also, it is no coincidence that Charles Darwin himself is buried in an RCC cathedral (Westminster Abby). There are even more ties if you look into it. The RCC truly is the "whore of Babylon" in the Book of Revelation.
This sounds strange, which Catholic churches have you been to? Which symbols?
1:30:00 The reasoning about the leader to submit to I always wanted to hear. Thank you.
Keep up the great work Trent!!! Much respect from Austin,Texas!!!
I asked for this! Thank you so much!
I don’t know how Trent can stand to take on these guys. It’s so eye-rolling my eyes are about to pop out of their sockets.
Would you debate Jay dyer? Have a look at his RUclips channel.
Lots of anti Catholic stuff.
I second this.
Jay tends to start name calling, I don't think Trent has time to deal with that
Trent you’re the man!
you are wonderful. thank you
The truth hurts
Trent!!!! I can’t stop watching your videos!!!!
Josh's argument at 20:00 is kind of not well thought out. Yes Ephesus is rebuked in Revelation, but where do we get that from? Jesus? well kind of. At the end of the day we have to trust that St. John was telling the truth and it was the belief that he wanted us to keep! Which would also be called a tradition. This is on top of Trent's scripture argument. But I think that, if Josh's argument is followed through it disproves his point. I would say that it is safe to assume that St. Paul had the tradition and taught it to Ephesus. He effectively prophecies that some of the elders will become corrupt. Many years later St. John gets a visit from Jesus and Jesus rebukes Ephesus for becoming corrupt as St. Paul prophesied. Since even protestants would hold that what St. Paul and St. John wrote is to be believed as divinely inspired it would stand to reason that it is a part of tradition and that it is trust worthy. Thus meaning that God did not lie when he let St. Paul know, because all prophecy comes from God, when He told St. Paul that wolves would show up among the elders to corrupt Ephesus. But what is interesting is that Jesus praises Ephesus for rebuking and casting out false teachers (gives them a +1 for sticking to tradition) but chastises them for losing their love for God. And yes I would say that they stuck to tradition because how could they properly rebuke false teachers if they did not stick to tradition?
Here is something I always find odd. Sola scriptura would explicitly imply that any quote from Jesus is 100% true. Yet, when Jesus prays to God (essentially himself), he asks that the church stay as “one” as He and the father are “one”. He goes on to say that the gate of hell will come against the church but “they will not prevail”. After reading that, with the sola in mind, wouldn’t you say that Christ said there is one church, that he established, that will always stay as one? That church, one and holy, of apostolic succession, is the Roman Catholic Church. God bless you Trent, you helped me so much in my conversion to Catholicism, Christ was always waiting, but you helped show me the way
Well, your definition of church may be different than other Christians’ definition. Some Christians think that church has more than one meaning. It could refer to a specific congregation, or it could refer to the royal priesthood of believers.
I am a man and I could be wrong so please forgive me Lord if I have erred in this comment. This is just a thought I had.
Here is an excerpt from the Catholic Public Domain Version Bible, which seems to state that a church congregation can be wrong and it can be tested by other believers.
“And to the Angel of the Church of Laodicea write: Thus says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, who is the Beginning of the creation of God: I know your works: that you are neither cold, nor hot. I wish that you were either cold or hot. But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.”
Revelation 3:14-16 CPDV
I laugh every time I read your channels name! Love your knowledge brother!
I'm a Protestant but am not a fan of this Josh guy. All he really does is promote division and misrepresent others. He has a really bad/extreme concept of Sola Scriptura.
Exactly, he has huge problems and it's concerning.
Trent I am so happy you break down all the information and explain correct teachings
Awesome Trent. Godbless you brother. So blessed you are on my side sir. Thank you for these
Trent I am sure you are aware of the very anti-Catholic John MacArthur. His ignorance of Catholic teaching drives me crazy. I’ve heard half of his almost cult following is fallen away Catholic.
I was invited to hear one of MacAruthur's Assistant Pastors give a talk many years back. His claim to fame in the handout was that he was (then) a current Assistant Chief of Police under Darryl Gates, and a former Romanist Seminarian. Well I listened to the first talk, and it was full of holes, most of the time he would say things like, There are different kinds of Masses, in which the priest magically makes Jesus come down from heaven, each with a different amount of Power, there are Solemn High Masses with three priests, Solemn Mass, Sung Mass, High Mass, Recited Mass and Said Masses, Requiem Masses and one called a Missa Sicca which I don't know what it is. I was introduced to him after as my neighbor thought, "we got him, and the Pastor will reel him in." So I mentioned that his sources must have been pre-Vatican II, and that I prefer to go to the Latin Mass, although I'll go to the Byzantine or Ordinary Form (as it's now called) as they were all the same thing with the same Infinite graces, as they are the actions of Jesus and not the priest. That Christ works through His priesthood which he shares with the Church through those ordained into His priesthood. I also asked since he really did not know what the different Mass were, as they were simply the External solemnity that was used in the celebration, and the Missa Sicca was not a Mass, but a devotional act used by some Cloistered monks which followed the text of the Mass up to the just before offertory then skipped to the Pater, (the Latin threw him for a loop.) Or as the latin says a Dry Mass, or practice of the rite which a deacon preforms to practice offering Mass so he does have preparation prior to ordination. His eyes opened wider. Then I asked, so you say you went to the Seminary, having family who are cops, and knowing that many were involved in petty crimes as kids until sent to reform school. Was the Seminary you went to, (I mentioned the name of a local High School Seminary that no longer exists) which was used more as a Catholic reform school for bad boys than for fostering vocations? He admitted that was his story. I'm no saint and don't have the charisms of Padre Pio, but Abp Sheen once said, those priests who abandon the Faith and attack it usually show what kind of sin they committed by attacking the things they failed in before they left or were expelled from the Clergy.
Sorry for being so long.
I did actually interpret that part of the catechism a little bit wrong I just basically think now looking at it but it means that we must love each other and be able to have open discussion
Yes and remember, we love the person's, NOT their "religion". I can love a muslim, and not love their faith or recognize it as sane or right or good.
The Old Testament Canon in Jesus' time was a Tradition, who decided the canon of that time? Who decided Psalms was scripture and not a mere collection of songs? It was not temple authority, for they (Sadducees) denied the existence of sacred scripture outside the books of Moses, Jesus by oral Tradtition believe that there were books beyond the Pentateuch.
Advanced Bible commentaries show that the apostles use many traditions founded in the Targums (aramaic translations that included many oral traditions in the scripture narratives).
I know some people may have perspectives on me but I am saying this because people need to escape from the harlot. This is based from scripture not from mine opinions, please be alert of world power.
I feel like most Protestant pastors/leaders have certain pride because they know that, unlike the Catholic Church, they have more competition within Protestantism itself. Each are competing for more followers, to become the new/next MEGA church (Joel Osteen). It’s frustrating but sad at the same time.
Wow I love this Trent. God bless you!
Trent horn , is a amazing catholic apologist. Giant the top of my favorites list along side brant pitre
I love Dr. Brant Pitre...he explains everything so that the common man..or women..can understand!

Read your bible, not the "Catholic" bible. This man knows NOTHING of God's word
@@spirit-walkerwaters4521 Proof?
@@skend3489 I said read your bible. The proof is in there. Don't believe you need sacraments which can't save, but the blood of Christ cleanses us from ALL SIN! Christ said repent and be baptized. The Council of Trent was a joke.
