One that I failed to mention in this video is baptizing babies. We do not believe in baptizing babies for salvation. We believe you can dedicate your baby to the Lord but that does not guarantee true or salvation. Baptism must happen subsequent to salvation.
THE BEAT by Allen Parr Dear,your salvation is starting at the moment you are dead,becouse the battle for haeven is not over till the end of man's life. So,as Bible says :"Don't concider anybody happy until he's dead,becouse you don't know his end."
Mister Sparks The truth is that rich young man wasn't sinner,but perfect in obeying the law.But he was reach and not ready to follow Jesus in poorness.Even though Jesus say he is able to save reach people. But if you want more about deeds:Revelation 14,13 ; Revelation 20,12-13
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:6
James 5:16 confess your sins to one another. James 5 13 through 15 prayer of presbyters forgive sin. John 20:23 whose sins you forgive will be forgiven whose sins you retain will be retained. Leviticus 5:5 through 6. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin. Translation: the Catholic Church practices confession to a priest. Confession to a priest is in the Bible. Confession to a priest which is in the Bible is something Protestants are against. Who's Doctrine is actually in the Bible?
@@josetierra100 So regarding James 5:16, does this priest confess his sins back to you? If not then you aren't confessing your sins to one another. "To one another" is a two way affair.
@@thomasnorton2679 by the way when that verse was first written down it was included in a letter which was meant from one Church leader to another. Society in general could not read at the time they were illiterate. So this was meant to instruct a priest to confess to another priest. On top of that it was meant for the priest who read the letter actually a bishop. To listen to the confessions of the people who could not read the letter or their congregation.
@@yanhelheartsmakeup i am an ex catholic (devoted Filipino Catholic), and truly i tell you, we pray to/in the name of the Pope, Priest, Mary, many many saints. So may feast of saints. Do rosary, visit images which is really common in the Philippines. Many devotees of Mary. More proud being a Catholic than a follwer of Christ. Surely that is not "Jesus is the ONLY WAY".
@@mitchynitchy I assume you were a cradle catholic brought up in the faith as a child without truly understanding Catholicsm. Have you even once read the Catechism of the Catholic Church? No person who understands the catholic religion worships the Pope. Likewise the Early Church fathers already venerated Mary and the Saints. I'm talking the catholic (universal) Church, not just the Roman Catholic Church. The original Church. The Church of Peter and the Apostles. Protestants follow the teachings of Martin Luther who in my opinion, reject their teachings but can strangely cherry pick some of it, like a trinitarian God, which is not in the Bible. I too am a cradle catholic and was confused when i grew up. I applied my belief and knowledge of a child and was unable to defend Catholicsm from protestants. I didn't know it well enough. Then I took the time to learn more about it. And in understanding it better, i am today, very proud to be a Catholic.
@@oliver8160 i went to catholic school,thats alomost half of my life. Done sacraments, been to church every Sunday. Easy to be religious. But no intimate personal relationship with God. I would mostly stumbe and trust my own understanding of how to please God. I was still a god of myself. Now, I am a born again Christian. My old self is gone, i am a new creation in Christ my Lord and Saviour. Jesus is the Lord of my life. Never been this way when I was a Catholic. Priests never told or remind me to read cathechism in the mass. Neither encourage to read the Holy Bible. Revelation 22:18-21 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen. No need for any additional writing, i will stick with God's word. Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” That is Jesus Christ.
@@mitchynitchy Was the same for me. The priest didn't tell me either. Or maybe I just wasn't listening. Did the Sacrements as a kid, went to mass every Sunday and lived my life being distant to God too. Then, i guess, similar to how you were 'born again', i decided to learn more about being a Christian. Except, I looked inwards for a deeper understanding and renewed my Catholic faith. Anyway, since you are happier now, good for you. :) Though I don't think it was fair to accuse catholics of adoring saints when catholics actually do not.
Gospel of John chapter 20 verse 23. Then Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit whose sins you forgive will be forgiven them whose sins you retain will be retained. It seems like the Bible tells us it's a little more complicated than what you Bible Christians think. It never ceases to amaze me how little of the Bible Bible Christians are actually aware of.
@@morningsky4605 that's a good question morning sky! According to his own Logic he is not. The founder of his own Doctrines Martin Luther was a Catholic priest. So if the founder of his Doctrine was not Christian how can he be?
@@wordofakingproductions2.0 Gospel of John chapter 20 verse 23 then Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit whosoever sins you forgive will be forgiven whosoever sins you retain will be retained. The apostles were given the power to forgive sin. I'm sure that's something your pastor never taught you right. It never ceases to amaze me how little of the Bible you Bible Christians are actually aware of.
I was baptized and raised a Catholic. I thought Christianity was a religion, but after scripture reading and a lot of circumstances, I learned that it's a RELATIONSHIP with God. Ever since then, things have changed for me, and I'm proud to say I deeply know God in my life.
@Fadi Khoory Perhaps yes, but at the end of the day, their catholicism won't save them. Our spiritual walks are all different. You can choose to be a Catholic and use it to nurture the relationship with Christ, but to me, it just didn't resonate. I was also a former altar server, commentator , and reader for many masses. I also led the rosary on many occasions , but I didn't find or know God through those things. I felt they were just empty works to save myself .
I don't know what you mean when you say you thought Christianity was a religion. What do you define as a religion? And when say Christianity is a relationship with God, do you mean that it doesn't include a relationship with fellow believers, other people, and society?
A relationship with yourself to you can't forget about your own light which most likely Jesus came I am a god and I want to teach the rest of my flock that they are God's
Nowhere in the bible does it state that Jesus was born on 25th December. These are pagan beliefs being grafted into Christianity. You are worshipping sun gods. Why is your Sabbath on SUNday rather than Saturday (the real biblical Sabbath)? In 321 A.D. Constantine (emperor of Rome) decreed: “On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed”. Commandment eight from the commandments tells you: ”Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8 KJV This verse clearly tells you to remember which day it is, and to keep it holy. But Constantine changed which day it was and his church changed the wording on their version of the ten commandments to: “Remember to keep holy the LORD'S Day.”Removing remember the Sabbath day (i.e. which day it was). These resurrecting godmen (i.e. Osiris, Horus, Adonis ,Tammuz, Mithras etc.) are known by different names in different cultures but are fundamentally the same mythical being with some varying attributes. You are worshipping SUN gods and the main worship day of them is on SUNday.They commonly have sun discs behind or on top of their heads. The whole Catholic mass has its roots with the pagan religions. All the pagan rituals seemed to have been merged into Christianity. The Eucharist once transubstantiated into Jesus is then placed into a “Monstrance” that looks like a sunburst (i.e. representing the sun). The pagan religions mentioned are forms of sun worship, worshipping their sun gods.Jesus’ the Christians are worshipping is not the real historical Jesus but just a Roman way of worshipping their sun gods. Hymn singing and the use of musical instruments was used in many forms of pagan worship. The use of bell, candles, and holy water came from Mithraism.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
@@3n0ugh God's doesn't need your memorized prayer. He wants your heart. Your heart for Him. Matthew 6:7 says, And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
Bridget Drummond Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. The church is not the way. Jesus is the way. The Apostle Paul even stated that wolves will come into the church and pervert the truth. That’s exactly what took place with the beginning of Catholic doctrines. Let me ask you this. If you know the truth above everyone else do you still practice sin? Do you still lie, and steal, and slander, and take Gods name in vain, lust or look at porn, or get drunk, do you ever hate or dishonor your parents, do you do drugs? Do you commit sexual immorality of any kind? If you still practice sin habitually then can you say you walk with God and know God truly. It says in 1 John that if a man claims to know God but does not obey his commandments then he is a liar and the truth is not in him, meaning Jesus. Because Jesus is the truth. Think about that and then get back to me. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit. It’s real easy to practice religion but never actually get born again. This is why Jesus said it is not those that have said Lord Lord that will enter the kingdom of heaven but only those that do the will of my father. Jesus said he will say to those depart from me you who practice iniquity for I never knew you. Think about that and get back to me. There are a lot of professing Christians that don’t know God at all just like the Jews that crucified Jesus did not know God at all even though they were children of Abraham by heritage.
@@Sidney051 I'm a Catholic as well. I myself struggle with some of our teachings too but was the start of the "wolf's" changing the the word of God when they took out the other 7 books of the Bible to fit their beliefs?.... The one thing he said wrong is the amount of books in the Catholic Bible. It's not 14 more than the 66 books he stated in the video. It's 73 books. Even the KJB started out with the 73 books till Martin Luther took them out in the 1600's. There's a lot of man made teachings in the Catholic faith that I struggle with and till this day I'm still learning about. I feel we just don't learn enough of our faith if we just go to church on Sundays. And yes you could potentially not be right with God. I'm studying as much as I can right now and until something very black and white makes me feel like this is the wrong religion....then I'll change.
Robert Reinhart Jesus said the blind follow the blind. The Bible says we have an anointing from the Holy One and we do not need anyone to teach us. That is because when a man gets born again Jesus comes to live inside of a persons heart. When you have Jesus you don’t need anyone to teach you. I don’t need anyone to teach me at all. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they will not follow another. The reason why you struggle and don’t know is because you have never acknowledged your sin before God. You are trying to find God and God is actually trying to find you. It’s not about being good or following a set of rules. It’s about turning away from your sin and following Jesus. Not following rules. Following Jesus. You have to acknowledge your sin first though. If you are honest you will admit that you practice certain sins. The Bible says that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible says if someone is practicing sin then the truth of God is not in them. The Bible says that person is a liar. When the Holy Spirit lives in someone they cannot continue in sin. The Bible says it is impossible for the man that is born again to continue in sin. You know as well as I do that you are practicing certain sins. You just have to be honest about those sins and repent of them. I am not talking about confessing them to a priest or saying things like everybody sins. No everybody doesn’t sin. If a man be born again he cannot continue in sin. It doesn’t mean that man will never sin again. It means if the Holy Spirit lives in you then the Holy Spirit is leading your life and the decisions you make. You don’t need to learn anymore. Jesus said they are forever seeking but never perceiving and forever hearing but never understanding. You have to ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life and repent of your sins and then commit to follow him with all your heart. You have to admit you are a sinner though first. I don’t mean say yes I am a sinner because everyone sins. I am talking about examining your own life and the sins you have committed and acknowledging those sins before God right where you are. God can hear you right where you are. You don’t have to go to church to find God. God is everywhere and he hears the cry of your heart right where you are. If you try to hang on to self righteousness and try to keep searching for the right rules and teachings to follow then you will never find truth. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the way and Jesus is the life. You don’t need a religion. You need to find Jesus.
@@Sidney051 Well.... So many things you touched on here. I'm a Born again Christian. February 26th 1999. But..... I'm back with the Catholic faith. Does that mean I lost my salvation? That would make God a lier and he doesn't lie. So I know God is in my heart. Always was. Born a Catholic and raised in a Catholic School is where my roots are. The fact you are here as well questions me.... Why, if you're so confident in your own believe? You see I like to study a lot of religions. I'm big into the young earth creation and watch tons of debates. It's part of my journey with Christ. Very fascinating! I believe you have to have that relationship with God and repent for your sins and I do as well. Not easy to make an appointment with the priest especially at this time with the virus. I pray for my fruitful life, family, job, the sick, etc. God knows me. I guess I'm a Born again Catholic.😎
Robert Reinhart Let me ask you this. You said you got born again on February 26, 1999. Do you mind sharing with me how that happened? What happened on that day that makes you say you got born again?
This is a rare video - you get fairly close to what Catholics actually believe, with only a few minor mistakes. Thank you for doing everything you could to get it right! It's so nice to see a good faith effort for once. 1. We don't believe we are saved by works, but that works are a necessary part of salvation, since faith without works is dead, among other verses. 2. We have 7 more books than Protestants, not 14, books that were used by Jesus in His day. 3. We believe in three authorities: written tradition (the Bible), oral tradition (the teachings of the Church such as interpretation), and the Magisterium (the Church itself). 4. We absolutely do not put Mary on the same level as Jesus. She is less than the smallest mote of dust beneath God's feet. However, she is the Mother of God, and deserves our respect for her role in salvation history. All generations will call her blessed, after all. 5. You do not have to say Hail Marys in order to be forgiven. The penance assigned after confession is not fixed nor is it necessary. Jesus forgives us either way. However, doing penance is a part of repentance, and benefits us. 6. The Bible never once says the Eucharist is a "symbol" of Jesus's body. Jesus repeats that it is His body and blood six times without backing down. Keep putting out such great content. It's awesome to engage with faithful Protestants.
You say you appreciate his content and how close it is, then proceed to "correct" everything he said? LOL “Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last.” A) How is the above not a direct prayer/petition to Mary? That is not you, asking her, to pray for you. That is you praying to her. B) How is calling Mary your "hope", "sweetness", "life", & "holy" not worship? It's pretty clear that Catholics not only pray directly to Mary (and don't just ask her for intercession as they claim) but also worship her.
@@0NoOne1nParticular A.) It's an eloquent, poetic way of asking for her to lead us to Christ, which is the very essence of intercessory prayer. Our home is in heaven with Jesus. The Hail, Holy Queen prayer is traditionally a part of the rosary, in which we ask Mary to pray for us now and at the hour of our death that we may make our way to the fruit of her womb, Jesus. B.) If you called one of your kids your hope, sweetness, and your life, would that be worshiping him or her? Of course not. It's a way to express the magnitude of your appreciation and love. So referring to the mother of Jesus that way is not worship, unless of course you believe she is divine. And we don't believe she is divine. Otherwise, we'd tell you! We'd call her our goddess. We'd call her our savior. We wouldn't deny our worship of her, because that's not what someone who worships a deity does. You can find plenty of official Catholic doctrine informing us that Mary is not to be worshiped, and that worshiping anyone other than God is a mortal sin, but you won't find a single document in our 2,000-year history saying that we should worship Mary. Except of course, writings from groups like the Collyridians, who were excommunicated for that very reason. And yes, we call Mary holy for the same reason we call the Bible holy: because in Koine Greek, the word is either attributed to something that inspires religious awe or something that has God's seal upon it, and surely, the woman that bore Jesus Christ incarnate was marked by God!
@@bigfootapologetics Ah so I assume she hears all these billions of daily, hourly, prayers? From the afterlife? She is omniscient and omnipresent? Wow! The Mother of God indeed! Okay so you do pray to and offer her words of worship and think she was without sin and immaculately born. Everything associated with worship, BUT just, "𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵" worship her... Gotcha! Thanks for informing me about the Roman Empires Catholic religion, thats pretty much how I figured it.
@@0NoOne1nParticular Hey, if you want to just ignore everything I said, be sarcastic, and put words in my mouth in favor of the conclusion you already had before replying to me in the first place, you could've just saved us both time and not bothered to comment in the first place. I understand that it's confusing to understand the distinction between affectionate words and worship, given that the Protestant worldview did away with the classical understanding of what worship meant to Christians for all of history in the 16th century. Fulton Sheen once said: “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” Sadly, in your case, you don't have the excuse of ignorance here; as I've told you and every Catholic and Orthodox has maintained for 2,000 years, none of us see Mary as divine or an object of our worship. So while you're welcome to accuse us of something we don't do (to the point where we have excommunicated the people who do it) and explicitly tell you we don't do, just remember that false witness is a serious sin. All I can do here is wish you the best and hope God leads you to being more open-minded and charitable in the future.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D. and it’s a glimpse of what’s found within its pages. Church: * "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)] Bishop, Priest & Deacon: * “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)]. Eucharist: * “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)]. Scripture: * “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)]. Sunday: * “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)]. Actions/Works: * “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)]. Apostolic Succession: * “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)] Baptism: * “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confession: * “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)]. Confirmation: * “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215). Peter’s Authority: * “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)]. These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D. Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes! Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it. This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it. “This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians 4:13-15 We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
The Gospel = Jesus died for OUR INIQUITIES, Jesus was BURIED (proof he died), Jesus was RESURRECTED BY GOD (defeated sin, evil and the devil) - a Christian is someone who BELIEVES that Christ did all those things, and did it for THEM. THEN and only then, through your walk with Christ and sanctification your life will reflect more Jesus like attributes and thus being Christ like. brother please read all 4 of the Gospels again, the above statement is concerning as if you "just" be Christ like without being SAVED, non of your being Christ likeness will help you if you did not put your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. Do not put the horse before the cart!
Actually as a Christian when you know if someone's religious beliefs aren't Bible based it is your job to let them know through the scriptures. After that it's their choice .
It is from the bible we formed the 7 sacrament DoubleEdged and the 1st,2nd ,Responsairal Psalm and Gospel come from the bible all the things we do are from the bible
@@NkemUtomi the teachings of the Roman catholic church is false heretic and pagan...it's opposite to the teachings of the New Testament... If you want to know God... only the Bible is the source!
As a Catholic myself I see all people as Christians if they believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and died for our sins and Jesus is the only way to heaven. I hoped to see all of you heaven someday and pray we don’t have to go through any tribulation. God love you 🙏🙏🙏
Just asking. Not saying you're no good or don't believe in God. But if you believe Jesus is the only way to heaven, why are you in a church that is very insistent, persistent, in supposed prayers for various saints, especially Mary, to in turn pray to God?? I prefer to go directly to the source like our only Christ taught. I don't believe in Catholicism anymore whatsoever. Yet, I really can't stand this crap, this BS of super divided Christianity.. Such as when various believers of very different Jesus Christ believing churches, keep saying so and so ain't Christian. When instead of teaching love like we ought to, so called Christians are teaching hate. Bashing each other's beliefs and judging each other's character with no mercy.. Instead of teaching love one another and do good to those that do you wrong. Love your enemy. What better are you when you love only those that love you? And if you salute your kin only, what do you more than others? THAT'S what Jesus taught. Hence, as much as I strongly dislike my old Roman catholic faith, I can't in good conscience say all Catholics are not Christian. I think many have not been Christian or acted like a Christian should. I know others have indeed behaved like a Christian ought to. I'm beyond positive Jesus and God forbids such a notion that a particular faith is not Christian because of how different their faith is compared to others. I ain't God and sure don't know enough about every single person of a faith to say NO they all aren't Christian at all. ONLY GOD decides and only He can judge. Fear no man but God. So don't be afraid of what very flawed man, meaning all of us, say about you being Christian or not.
@@changitam.6522 “Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you we cry, the children of Eve; to you we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this land of exile. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us; lead us home at last.” A) How is the above not a direct prayer/petition to Mary? B) How is calling Mary your "hope", "sweetness" "life" "holy" not worship? It's pretty clear that Catholics not only pray directly to Mary(and don't just ask her for intercession as they claim) but also worship her.
@Tony McGurk "kay do we need Mary to get to Jesus ? No you can go straight to Jesus" That's the same analogy as asking your friends and family to pray for you, when you can just go straight to Him. And no, we don't necessarily need Mary to get to Jesus, but she can immensely help us to get closer to Him. Of course if you're really against about it, aren't open and not fully understand why Catholics (and Orthodox, as well as others) ask for their intercession, then you would definitely accuse us of misconceptions. At that point, it's better if we stay silent until you actually and genuinely ask a practicing Catholic why we do such things. Other than that, God Bless. I hope my words didn't sound mean to you, but sometimes people need to say what they have to say, especially for correcting others.
I love your channel! I may not agree with every detail but I’m grateful that you take the time to touch on the details, you put in the effort to provide biblical backing and have been consistent in putting out these videos that are so great. Thank you so much. God bless you Mr. Parr!
@user-pv1sr8lo3z YOU: The so-called three Persons in the Trinity, *ME. Are you suggesting that the PHYSICAL Jesus was "GOD/Elohim" ?? No. Both Jesus and Apostle Peter tell you that the physical Jesus was a Man/Son of God that was INDWELLED by God* (at his water baptism, John 1:33-34), *and that it was GOD that indwelled Jesus that did the miracles -- Acts 10:38, John 14:10, Acts 2:22, John 10:36, Matthew 16:15-16* (Luke 1:35). Apostle Paul explains this in the original Greek of Phil 2:6-8.
@@anthonyl2886 no, strong Catholics actually read their Bible and realize that the Catholic church is lying to them about half of their religion. Protestants that become Catholics don't understand the Protestant religion to begin with.
John 14:6 Jesus said I'm the way, the truth, and the life no man comes to the father except by me. There is no other name under heaven, that you could be saved by excepted through Jesus Christ. All other ways leads to destruction, asks Jesus Christ to come into your heart to forgive your sins he will be faithful and just to forgive. God bless you all.
Yamahall personal salvation, there is another divergence between the way of seeing the things of many evangelical groups and the doctrine. Catholic For them it’s enough to just have faith in Christ; for us, faith in Christ is not enough to be saved. A life is needed in conformity with the teaching of Christ (Lk 6,46). (Mt 7, 21). Actually, believing Christ means accepting his message and living it, without adding or removing anything. It is not enough to say: «I believe in Christ», to be saved. It is necessary to know your will and accept it as it is. How is it possible that many think to save themselves, without accepting this command of Jesus? In effect, updating the Lord's Supper is an order. (Lc 22,19). same as regards the forgiveness of sins. Is it possible for one to forgive sins? "they repeat. Well, ask Jesus. He who created heaven and earth has the power to commission men to forgive sins in his name? This means to truly believe in Christ: accept ALL his message and try to live it. Otherwise it is an empty faith, which does not lead to salvation. Say: "I believe in Christ and already" is a mistake, a vain illusion, which does not lead to salvation. We must accept and obey Christ, to be saved. You do not have to choose one or the other teaching, according to your own taste, but you have to accept everything Jesus says. This is to believe in Christ.
Since Jesus IS the way, the truth, and the life, isn't that all the more reason we should be members of HIS Church, and not some man-made Protestant denomination? "Without the way there is no going. Without the truth there is no knowing. Without the life there is no living." --St. Thomas a Kempis
I, as a practicing Catholic, found much misinformation about Catholics presented in this "Are Catholics Considered Christians and What are the Differences in Beliefs?" video by Allen Parr. (1:58) #1. Our View on How a Person Gets to Heaven (Protestants say "Faith alone". Catholics practice "Faith and Works"). Allen Parr incorrectly states that those "works" are the Catholic seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Annointing of the Sick) that Catholics must do in addition to having Faith in order to get to Heaven. Catholics believe that in addition to having Faith you must put that Faith into action, hence the "works". It's the difference between telling a hungry person that you have Faith that they will find food to eat (Protestant) verses telling a hungry person that you have Faith that they will find food to eat and then giving them food to eat (Catholic). (2:53) #2. Our Views on the Authority of the Bible (Protestants say their 66-book Bible is the final authority on Faith and Practice. Catholics use both the Bible and the Catholic tradition teachings). Allen Parr is correct that when Catholics have disagreements on how to interpret the Bible it is the Pope who has the final and authoritative word. Without the Pope acting as a referee of sorts with the final say then Catholics would have multiple Catholic sub-groups each with their own interpretation of the Bible, which is what Protestantism is. Also, Allen Par incorrectly states that the Catholic Bible has 14 "extra" books over the Protestant Bible. It was the Catholic church that compiled the Bible and when Martin Luther protested away from the Catholic church he removed books from the Bible (and he wanted to remove more books, such as Revelation). (4:16) #3. Our View on How a Person Should Approach God (Protestants say they don't have to go through anyone to get through God. Catholics must confess sins to a priest who then passes it to God and then Catholics must pray to Mary to elevate her to the same level as Jesus, which is wrong because Mary was a sinful woman who happened to be chosen to be the mother of Jesus). Allen Par's understanding of Catholicism is wrong here. When Catholics confess sins to a Catholic priest the priest is representing the Catholic church and the confession goes directly to God. The priest's role during confessions is to hear the confession, offer counseling, and then to absolve the confessed sins as a representative of the Catholic church. Allen Par incorrectly states that Catholics pray to Mary to elevate her to the same level as Jesus. Catholics ask Mary to "pray for us sinners now" the way you ask a friend to pray for you. Also, unlike what Allen Par states that Mary was a sinful woman, Catholics believe that Mary was born free from original sin through the Immaculate Conception. (6:15) #4. Our View on Life After Death - Purgatory (Protestants don't believe in Purgatory. Catholics believe in Purgatory). Allen Par is correct that Catholics believe that some people must first go through Purgatory to be purged of sins before going to heaven or to the presence of God. Purgatory only applies to people who die in God's grace and friendship but are still imperfectly purified (for example, the person was a practicing Catholic who died before going to confession). Purgatory does not apply to evil people who are destined for Hell. (6:36) #5. Prayers for the Dead (Catholics pray for the dead in hopes that the prayers will help boost a dead person to be with God who otherwise wouldn't be able to). Allen Par, praying for the dead is something both Catholics and non-Catholics do. (6:55) #6. Prayers to the Dead (Catholics don't pray only to Jesus, they also pray to Mary and the Saints). Allen Par is correct. When Catholics pray to Mary and to the Saints, it is not to worship Mary and the Saints or to elevate them on the same level as Jesus, it's to ask Mary and the Saints to pray for them the same way you ask a friend or a Protestant pastor to pray for you or to say a prayer for a family member. (7:06) #7. Transubstantiation (When Catholics take communion by eating the bread and drinking they wine, they believe the bread and wine transforms into Jesus' actual body and blood). Allen Par states that for Protestants the eating of bread and drinking of wine during communion is consuming Jesus' body and blood symbolically, while Catholics believe they are consuming Jesus' actual body and blood. Allen Par is correct about what Catholics believe about Transubstantiation. He then displays the following scripture quote taken from John 6:56 (New Living Translation Bible) "Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him." The quoted scripture line doesn't say "Anyone who SYMBOLICALLY eats my flesh and drinks my blood..." (7:44) Allen Par restates the original question "Are Catholics Christians?" and then says that it's not his job, or anyone else's job, to say who is a Christian or not. Because of this I'll answer the the question as follows: All Catholics are Christians. Not all Christians are Catholics.
Neither catholic nor christian follows Yashuah (Jesus) . . The head of both churches is Paul the church father and antichrist. . You can see my vids on the topic.
@Mikael Yashuah Donoso all of churchianity is a false teaching . . Based on the lying tongue of Paul the Pharasee and antichrist. . Can watch my videos on the topic
he probably confused the number of books from the septuagint with the books from the apocrypha the catholics left out a bunch of books from the septuagint when they compiled the deuterocanon, the ones that didnt address protestant claims
The Septuagint was used extensively in the Near East by rabbis, and in the first century the apostles quoted prophecies from it in the books that became the New Testament. It was accepted as authoritative by the Jews of Alexandria and then by all Jews in Greek-speaking countries. Luther eliminated books because they held beliefs he didn't believe in.
I’m Catholic and I’ve never believed that you had to do the 7 steps to get to heaven. It’s God’s decision. I believe ppl have to have a relationship with God, try to sin less, and repent sins to get to heaven, no matter which religion they are. My church also doesn’t believe that only confession will give you forgiveness, it’s just a way to confess your sins to God. But you can also pray to God for forgiveness. Also, about the bread and blood... in my experience whenever I go up to receive communion, I feel the presence of Christ. It’s a warm, loving, amazing feeling that makes ppl cry tears of joy. I’ve seen ppl faint in my church, multiple times from being blessed while the Eucharist was exposed. Also, there was a case in Italy where the Eucharist literally turned into real flesh and blood and spelt over the altar in front of everyone attending that mass. It was documented a miracle. I’m not saying my religion is right, yours is wrong. I believe if you’re a believer and you love God, then that’s the way ❤️. I’m just saying my experiences within my church. God bless everyone.
It is sad to say that you elevate or value your experience and religion than what the Bible truly said about being a Christian. The true foundation of Christianity rests on the Scriptures (II Timothy 3:16), not on a specific religion nor experience. That said, it makes genuine Christianity apart and unpopular
Graeme Fajardo I totally agree. When did I ever say my faith was based on experience? My faith is based on my relationship with Christ and my knowledge of faith is based on scriptures. I was just sharing some of my experiences in the Catholic Church. When did I ever say faith was based on a specific religion? You rebuttal things I’ve never said nor do I believe. Reread my comment for a better understanding. No hate here fellow Christain ❤️.
Graeme Fajardo omg! I honestly meant to say I’m NOT saying my religion is right, yours is wrong. I’m so glad you mentioned that, I just fixed it! Now I see why you interpreted it the way you did lol. I don’t think any religion is all 100% right. I believe if your religion brings you closer to Christ, then you’re in the right religion.
Actually ultimately it your life that decides weather you go to heaven. Your life will either be against you at judgment day or be supporting u In judgment day
To Mario What the heck you talking about? I never anything about "WORKS"! At the last supper Christ gave us a new COVENT and that is obey Christ commands and the 2 main commands are to love the lord your God and and to love thy neighbour as yourself
All I see when I read all the comments is spiritual pride. And after watching your video had to check myself because I felt the passions of my beliefs stirring to a combating point. We should not ask ourselves who is right but what is right and do that. May Jesus keep us all humble so that our pride doesn't trip us up. God bless you my friends.🙏
I literally didn’t know this was a debate? I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and in the father and son and the Holy Spirit, how could possibly not be Christian?
@@helendesta8724 The Church teaches salvation with faith alone though and works through the Holy Spirit are taught as crucial in the sanctification process. Also the Eucharist is Biblical from my understanding. 1 Cor 11:27.
@@johne2815 Yeah that's true and all but the video highlighted the differences between protestants and catholics, things like purgatory, saints, and even the works that you just mentioned.
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. --------------------- (2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept" is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse). -------------------------- (3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved "wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13] The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their "fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people (in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot. ----------------------------- (4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom". In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches (like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by (e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc, ---------------------------------- (5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all "Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches. ------------------------------------- All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church) and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers) ------------------------------------ However, there are TWO important facts to consider: (a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep) who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end, there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth. (b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine "closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10] AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11] --------------------------------------- You can see some of the mysteries taught by the Last Saints at: www.5thKingdomofHeaven.com ------------------------------------------

these pastors have been raised in protestantism. they believe the essentials of the Christian faith. Catholics can recognize when the church is in error due to wolves entering. But the evangelicals have a problem doing that. they deny traditions while following traditions. they deny works, while performing works. it's all a big family fight over non essentials that we call essentials.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me , "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness,so that Christ's power may rest on me .
As a student of church history, theology and practicing Lutheran, I feel like there's some pretty inaccurate info in here, including the idea that there was one church until Martin Luther and John Calvin came along (there was an entire period called the Great Schism in the 11th Century - 500 years before the Protestant Reformation), and the idea that the 66 books of the Bible are the ONLY divinely inspired books (those texts - manyof which the authorship is presumed but unknown). The Council of Nicea was - quite literally - called by Emperor Constantine as an editorial board to elect by debate which books would be included in canon in order to coalesce HUNDREDS of competing ecumenical doctrines into a single religion common throughout the Roman Empire. The apocrypha are not considered holy texts, per se, but they are used to help interpret the canonical books. The best evidence that the Bible is subject to interpretation is the fact that even today we have any number of English translations - from the KJV to the NIV, and many others. Not to mention Vatican II's official break with any kind of "salvation by works" theology. The modern Roman Catholic Church has accepted salvation by grace, but still holds good works as the duty of every Catholic. As a mainstream Protestant, the thing I think is most important in whether we can say somebody shares our Christian beliefs is (i) belief in the trinitarian nature of God, (ii) following therefrom, belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, (iii) belief in salvation through grace/faith. Aftsr thise three things, it's all cupcakes and we're really just arguing over whether chocolate or rainbow sprinkles are better. Which is - quite frankly - a silly argument to have. I feel as at home spiritually in a Catholoc service or a Baptist service as I do in my home church because - ultimately - those three things are the only things that are important in this debate. You're highlighting differences in religion, while the most important thing is a shared faith. Whether a person believes in transubstantiation or participates in the Eucharist at all is a matter of religion alone; which has its roots in Greek meaning an action. Those are just differences in EXPRESSIONS of faith; not in the faith itself.
Catholics do not call or consider the books apocryphal because they aren't. They are rightly called deutoricanical. Apoc in the Greek is hidden or unknown which the Deutoricanical books are not. Those books were in the Protestant KJV1611. Protestants should figure out when and why they were taken out. I'm not Catholic and can tell you that.
Are you sure? Given the dating of The Codex Vaticanus, we can see that the Bible was already completed and thus, closed canon. The Council of Nicaea happened after, in which the debate was over correct doctrine based on the Bible.
Thank you for your response, Tyler. The Questioning of the Christanity of Catholics (both east and west) seems strange - as they are the original Christians. As a Catholic, however, it would never cross my mind to ever question the Christianity of any trinitarian Protestant. I feel that both Catholics and (trinitarian) Protestants are unitied at least in our basic core beliefs.
@@ufo645 No, they were not the original Christians. If you want to know who the originals were and the firs time the word was even used read the book of Acts. Pretty sure all those men by their own admission are Jews! Paul for example says, I am an Israelite myself from the tribe of Benjamin. A Pharisee among Pharisee and more zealous for the law than all of you! They don't call themselves Christian or Catholic for that matter.

Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip 2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.
In the movie Religulous The Atheist Bill Maher talks about Christianity. He adds his own interpretation to our beliefs. He gets it 100% wrong. Bill Maher the atheist knows more about Evangelical Christianity then Allen Parr knows about Catholicism.
You seem very sincere and I really enjoy your videos. But as a trained catechist in the Catholic Church, I need to ask, how much research did you do in the catechism of the Catholic Church before the making of this video? I am a former protestant earnestly seeking the best dialogue possible between both sides.
As a Catholic, I can say that there are a number of incorrect assumptions in here. For example, while we do have the hail Mary, or prayers referencing other saints, to day that Catholics believe that Mary or any other saint is at the same level as Jesus is incorrect. These are prayers for there intercession on our behalf. " Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death" is very different from "forgive us our sins". Saints are examples of what it means to live an exemplary life and now live eternally with Jesus, so we all for their guidance, but Jesus alone is our savior and salvation. There are a number of things that the initial statement was fact, but then the follow up assumption was not quite right. It's an interesting conversation that it would be nice to see a priest on this channel having a dialogue on the differences and similarities, and they can ask each other questions, etc
@Kira Lou exactly Plus,when those who are chosen and go to heaven they will forget their lives on earth and will have no knowledge about what is going on down here.So Mary and other saints can’t pray for you because they don’t remember earth or their lives on earth.
Ignorance drives fear. Jealousy makes men spread hate and lies. You will never see the roles reversed. Which religion does Satan want to destroy most? And ask why?
You have said many lies about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Why don't study first Catholic Theology before you make this kind of video. Your knowledge about the Catholic Faith does not even touch the surface. What you know about Catholic teachings all seems to come from protestant christian perspective. Challenge yourself to dive deep in the Catholic Theology...
You are absolutely right. This misguided man is typical of those who just go on repeating untruths and misinformation about the Catholic faith without ever once stopping to check whether or not their assertions are correct. They are speaking falsehoods against Christ's church - and they need to realize what they are doing and repent of it.
@@stephensumi2378 People who follow the Nicene Creed and/or Apostles' Creed are NOT practising idolatry. You are making a fool of yourself. Idolatry is condemned by the Catholic Church as with any and all Christian churches.

I am a catholic, I was raised as one and I am proud of it. I love protestants and I honestly think we can learn from each other. I also thank you Allen for your work because it is great and I like to listen to your content!😉😎✝
YOU: I am a catholic, I was raised as one and I am proud of it. *ME: Soooo.... you admit that you commit the Sin of Pride. And you are proud because your Roman hierarchy teaches heresy that contradicts the Original Apostles ??* For example, the Apostle/Canon teaches that DEATH entered the world by ONE MAN/Adam (Romans 5:12), and that Death/Satan were destroyed by one ONE MAN/Jesus dying on the cross (Hebrews 2:14, Genesis 3:15). -- ROME teaches that Death entered the world by the WOMAN/Eve and therefore Mary is the "new Eve" (no NT verses). Are you going to follow the heresies of Rome or are you going to follow the Apostle/Original Church ?? Can't follow BOTH cuz they contradict/oppose each other.
Please get a Hebrew/Greek/English bible so that you can look up the definitions of the actual Greek or Hebrew words in a Concordance -- you will be shocked at the many false translations there are in the English bibles which change the teachings of the Original Greek Church writings.
Right to the heart of the matter,my father was a devoted Roman Catholic and converted to becoming a evangelical and he tells everyone that as long as we follow Jesus Christ and his teaching we are secure
I like your videos in most cases because your information/research is accurate this one however is obscure the research is accurate but the information is incorrect or application rather. I can sit you through every point you pointed out and explain what Catholics actually do
Faith alone (believing in Jesus) is not enough. When you start believing in Him, you are not just expected to believe and not move your entire lifetime, you are also to act according to His teaching. That's where work comes in. When you believed in Him, you become a follower, and when you become a follower, you also become Jesus to everyone by showing love, service, respect, kindness and many other Jesus wants us to share the world. While we are still in this earth, we need to do good works and by doing that, we are glorifying His name and 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. '” Matthew 25:40
@Mara L : Christ-ian : Essentially means being a BELIEVER & FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ. However Catholics & Protestants have Different views on Grace & Salvation when it comes to their Christian Faith. As a Christian I don't Believe in 'Religion'..I Believe in having a 'Personal relationship' in Jesus Christ.
@Mara L : Religion is a 'Man-made' concept that explains a Human Belief system. As a 'Christ-ian' I Believe that Jesus is God in Flesh that Walked among us on Earth as Human beings that Died on the Cross for our Sins so that We could be Saved from God's Wrath. In having a 'Personal relationship' & Personal Experiences with Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer we don't need a Man-made concept or 'Religion' to do so. The 'Roman Catholic Church' was Roman Rulership & society normalizing and Ordaining Christianity as the Primary basis of their Belief-system and giving it a Religious title. Hope my explanation helps. #GodBless
I am a Catholic Christian. Saved by the shed Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The early Christians did not have the Written Word for at least three hundred years after Christ's crucifixion. The Holy Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine transubstaniated through the hands of the Priest but through the power of the Holy Spirit
How were you saved? Do you believe that you can lose your salvation? Do you believe that if you do not do certain works that you will not be saved? We are saved by grace through faith. Has nothing to do with us. Believe and call on the Lord Jesus. Build that relationship with Him and stop praying to or through dead people. Jesus never said to pray to His earthly mother. Why would we need to? Jesus desires to have a relationship with us and He is a jealous God. He does not want you praying to anyone but Him. The Bible makes that quite clear.

I believe that i will not be saved if i fail to do good works (Mt 25:31-46, James 2:24). The Saints are not dead in Gods eyes (Luke 20:37-38) and we are to pray for each other (1Tim 2:1-4), if an act is acceptable for the church militant on earth, why would it be unacceptable for the church triumphant in heaven? Just want to spread some biblical truths. Deus benedicat.
@@johnsteila6049 No it doesn’t. If you have faith you will have works. It’s not in any way saying that your works save you at all. That is the “free gift of God lest anyone should boast.” It clearly says it. There is no example of someone coming to salvation and losing it. Judas never had it. The Bible made that clear. In revelation Jesus tells those who were never born again to “depart from me for I never knew you.” He doesn’t say, “I once knew you, but now I don’t, depart from me.” You are adding to the Bible and don’t even realize it.
@@JoshB913 I didn’t say that works alone can save us. Matt 19:16 16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. lf you would enter life, keep the commandments.” Phil 2:12 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Judas witnessed Jesus work miracles with his own eyes. You have no right to judge him. He had faith but in the end, was lost. Luther added to Paul’s Epistle in Romans to make his case that we are saved by faith “alone”. I’m here to support what The Bible says. You are defending heresy.

I love your takes on this, as I'm a catholic myself. What I believe is that each one of us have different ways of worshipping the One True God, which led to different Christian denominations to show. In the end it shows that all of us should refer to the Word of God as basis and foundation in every thing that we do.
YOU: What I believe is that each one of us have different ways of worshipping the One True God, which led to different Christian denominations to show. *ME: The different denominations are based in the intentional or un-intentional false interpretation of the original Greek Biblical text -- Acts 20:29-30, etc* And there is only ONE way to worship GOD -- and that is by the Spirit -- John 4:24 -- not by what you physically do.
@@samuelkruse2434 NONE. Both Peter and Paul warn you that PHYSICAL church leadership will be corrupted wolves teaching false doctrines -- *and this heresy would start as soon as the Apostles were gone, by the very men that the Apostles taught -- see Acts 20:29-30, 2Peter 2:1-3, etc* All PHYSICAL churches are corrupted -- GOD's true ekklesia/congregation/church is SPIRITUAL (1Peter 2:5-7), comprised of Believers that are indwelled by the Holy SPIRIT (1Corinth 12:12-14, etc). THAT is why Jesus and John instructed Believers to NOT believe that God's infallible spiritual truth comes from some sinful man on earth -- Matthew 23:9, 1John 2:27 -- God's Truth comes only directly from GOD/Holy Spirit that indwells you. Stop thinking "denominations" and just study Scripture for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you Truth -- then as you attend different denominations, YOU will know which ones are teaching lies/falsehoods -- then you leave and try another..... I can tell you from experience, ALL physical denominations are corrupted by greedy wolves in the pulpits who desperately want power over God's people just like the Pharisees (Matthew 23). Your first clue should be if the Pastor had invented the false tradition that the "pastor" is the boss of the church -- that HE is the one in control of decisions for the church -- that false traditions follows the evil of the Roman popes' authority (Matthew 20:25-26), and contradicts 1Corinth 12 and 1Peter 5:3..
This is very very troubling as Par is a mainstream protestant christian he lead a good amount of people astray. Luther or Calvin were not even mentioned and even regarded as "satanic". what is going on?
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, of everything visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, born of the Father before all ages: God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of the same nature of the Father, by whom Everything was done; That for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnated of Mary, the Virgin, and became man; And for our sake was crucified in the days of Pontius Pilate; Suffered and was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And he will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son receives the same adoration and glory, and who spoke through the prophets. I believe in the Church, which is one, holy, catholic and apostolic. I confess that there is only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the future world. Amen.

My catholic priest talks about how he and a protestant minister are good friends. They traveled to the holy land together and respect each other. In the military, catholic priests and protestant ministers work together to give the troops the strength they need. RUclips has some great debates among PHDs who spent their lives finding the truth. After the debates you see friendship and respect toward each other. Search for debates with some of these names…..Mitch Pacwa, Ken Samples, Walter Martin, Benedict Groschel, Scott Hahn, Peter Kreeft. If you are looking for the truth then follow people who have spent their lives studying, researching and debating. Remember it’s all about love.
*That sounds a little fishy since Rome teaches a completely different "Jesus" than the Jesus taught by the Original Church in the NT (2Corinth 11:3-4,14).* There is no Salvation in Rome's "Jesus", and you can't have a relationship with GOD unless you believe in the NT's Jesus and are indwelled by GOD Himself -- John 14:6, Romans 8:9-11, Titus 3:5-6, etc.

It's so true abt baptism, hence we still go through catechism, at an intended age, at our parents' urging, not through any will of our own sadly. I was baptized, took catechism, and still didn't really come to Christ till my 30's. Sad but true. Not enough emphasis was placed on my spiritual education. Still baptized my kids, but not resting on that to save them. They will know the Bible twelve ways to Sunday better than I did when graduating high school, and they will understand why. Praise God!!

Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip 2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.
@Asaph Vapor It has been God's policy to teach His laws to obey them for obedience is a manifestation of love for God. He said, "...if you earnestly OBEY My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God" (Deut. 11:13). If anyone does not obey, "and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD..." (Deut. 11:28). Apostle John taught, "For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS (I John 5:3). The Lord Jesus also taught, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me" (John 14:21). So, He commanded to enter in Him to be saved (John 10:9). Entering in Him is by entering the flock (John 10:16) which is His Church (Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28) - the Church Of Christ or IGLESIA NI CRISTO in Filipino. In this Church, you will learn God's pure gospel because a messenger of God was sent to preach His message. Thank you and God bless.
I’m a catholic and I never heard of anyone thinking Mary is at the same level of Jesus? We think she’s important, yes (I mean, you gotta have something different from the other regular people to be picked by God to have his son, no? Cmon now, I doubt he picked her name out of a hat or something lol), but she does not interfere with the holy trinity in any way? Also, about believing in the traditions of the church and the pope, the traditions come from the Bible? The Vatican is the institutionalization of the religion, meaning they simply make it uniform. If you go a Catholic Church in one state, you’ll hear the same thing in another one from another state, unlike in Protestant churches. The interpretations of the Bible can change quite a lot among pastors. The thing about “praying for the dead” sounded weird, ngl. Saints are notable people who lead good lives and did good, to the point of doing miracles, which is something a lot of regular televangelists claim to do? When we “praise” them, it’s about wanting to be like them, being inspired by them (like Mary). They’re not idols. Some people can take it to extremes, but that’s incorrect. And the wine and bread thing... Idk about that one, but I’ve always seen it as symbols as well?
I agree with what your saying. We should give honor to the Saints and Mary. And I do encounter some people who have a problem with respecting people. But we shouldn't bow down to them and have pictures of them when that goes against the Second Commandment. And that's coming from an Orthodox who is reborn.
He’s got a point about the apocrypha contradicting the rest of the Bible. And Catholics do pray to others or at least through others like the saints instead of just praying to God only
@@howardzane572 You don't go to tho. Fr. You can go through the Lord man. Ima a Orthodox who is reborn. And I saw it from both sides. Don't see it as a religion, but see it as a relationship.
Seriously guys, I'm not trying to "own" anyone or put anyone down, but you should really check what the Catechism says and also check out Catholic Answers. You can get a better understanding of the Catholic Faith in both of those resources. As for the original question, the answer is categorically and unequivocally yes. You don't have to believe the church's doctrines or agree with us, but understand that we Catholics are by definition Christians. I will not say you are not a Christian just because you are not Catholic.
After Five Hundred Years of protestant propaganda negativity and anti-catholic statement these Protestant Evangelical non-denominational Christians can't even agree with each other will never get it out of their heads that they don't know what the Catholic Church actually believes. What's the fucken idiots FM
@@ComewithSall Book of Leviticus chapter 5 verses 5 through 6. And he shall confess that he is guilty in one of these things. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
@@ComewithSall the Catholic Church practices confession to a priest. Leviticus tells us that a priest takes part in the forgiveness of sin. Protestants are against the practice. Whose doctrines are in the Bible and whose are not? I think Leviticus answers that question for us doesn't it.
I appreciate so much how at the end of the video you clarified that it's not our job to decide if someone is a Christian or not! You wouldn't believe how many people have this confused. It's God's job, not ours to decide. And yes, we can say what they're saying/believing isn't Christian but even saying that, I think, should be on rare occasion.
God doesn't tell lies and God isn't mistaken. How is he working through Pastor Allen Parr? Pastor Allen Parr is mistaken or is telling lies about everything he says.
On a Catholic Christian Note: I find this post misrepresentative of us. I felt that its just very judgemental. I am sorry. Please if you want to explain Catholic faith from your own view, you might as well research what we actually believe. Use Catechism of the Catholic Church. 1) We believe that Faith is consisted of 3 Pillars (Word of God, Sacred Tradition, Church Magisterium (Authority)). When we say FAITH, what we mean is 3 Things: Believing, Trusting, Doing. 2) We also believe that we can go to God directly, but he intended that through the Apostles (and their successors) we may be healed in our wounds with the Church. You see, we see sins as not contained within the person, it affects everyone especially the Church. 3) Mary IS NEVER elevated to the same level as God. If you just take time an listen to what the words say, it came from the mouth of Angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42, and Jame 5:16. 4) Purgatory IS NOT forgiveness of sins. It is the remission of the punishment of sins already forgiven. What we mean by punishments are the wounds that we earn by them that makes us imperfect. We believe that we are cleansed and made perfect through the sacrifice and blood of Christ on the cross; we call this state of cleansing “Purgatory”. We could recall 1 Corinthians 3:15 that people could be saved but though they went through fire. 5) The Catholic Church together with the Orthodox Church compiled the Bible (the oldest complete of which are Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus. I pray that you may be forgiven for your transgression on us. I personally forgiven you. May the Most Blessed Mary guide you towards her Son, Our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. Much Love 💕 VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS
What he explained in the video ISN’T REPRESENTATIVE of us. I’m giving our good sibling in Christ the benefit of the doubt, I believe it is “fine” to believe otherwise out of the dictate of our God-given conscience, but I don’t think it is fair to be misrepresented in such scope and gravity. Call a Spade a Spade and we don’t call it Rake. I’m all for discourse and dialogue, but misrepresentation does not do justice. Let us do our homework before we accidentally or willfully establish strawmans against Christian Catholic brethren where there isn’t supposed to be any. VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS
There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” -Archbishop Fulton Sheen In a sense, he didn’t really explained “anything” about us. He explained “what he think about us”, but not “what us is”. If it is a humble opinion but not a fact, it loses credibility in matters of fair representation. We might as well preach it for what it is then, an argument based on personal anecdotes. Let us not be blind-sighted by our prejudices and give some each some forbearance. I ask that you consider checking misconceptions about our Church. Here was a Protestant (Church of Christ), a Religious Study Major, explaining common misconceptions about us. ruclips.net/video/S8p9i696K-o/видео.html
"This is my body" not this is a symbol of my body. Just FYI, there are many protestants who believe in the literal meaning. Not just Catholics. Personally, whoever believes Jesus as the son of God, died for our sins, rose from the dead and will return; is a Christian in my eyes.
@Feedthe5000 those were times of hyperbole. And John 6. Was not. It is not a symbol. If it wasn’t a symbol then Paul would not have to mention to not take of the cup unworthy or in sin. If it’s only a symbol then non-Christians could take it too.
@Feedthe5000 it’s either one and no it dosent determine it but Jesus did double down that it IS HIM. Lastly Jesus also let the ones who left him over that teaching leave. He never clarified. He didn’t say oh wait JK! He let them go and even asks does this offend you?
What an excellent answer. It’s up to God if a person is a believer. All we need to do is spread the gospel, love Jesus & love others. Thank you Allen. Great videos. 😊🙏 Blessings.

@@josetierra100 I was taught in a private school at age 13 that Catholics were not Christians, informed that the group I had entered at 11 was protestant, and that, therefore, I was protestant. I had been in the j.w. cult from infancy till grade 3, and taught that Christians were heathens and were earmarked by "jehovah" for annihilation. I was an agnostic from age 8 till 11. At about age 14, I was taught by seventh day adventists that Catholics are antichrist and told historical lies that there was a different church for 2000 years whose saints the Catholics killed for as long as Catholics have existed. They were represented as though they did everything the muslims have actually done to Catholics. When I fasted and prayed, I'd often start to hear the HOLY SPIRIT defend the Catholic Church and would tell myself that I had something blocking me from hearing GOD correctly. Eventually, while writing a book against the Catholic Church, I had a miraculous change of heart that immediately put all my years of research into proper perspective, and I sought to become a Catholic, but it was 5 years, because I didn't know how to tell my mother and siblings who had been going through the same thing as me. We all converted together. They had been afraid I'd reject them if they became Catholic.
Luke 23:43 Jesus told the criminal who was being crucified next to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." No works possible there.
Why christening? Traditionally, parents held a christening for their new baby to mark the beginning of their upbringing in the Christian faith. It is not a baptism in the sense that an adult would have done, but this is a dedication to the faith-to Jesus. This is a presentation of a new life to the congregation and a time for family celebration.
St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, in the Third Century, invoked the Holy Father to do Infant Baptism, because he felt his falling away from Christ was due to his lack of Baptism. When one is unbaptized the devil has control of your soul. Infant Baptism has been in the church for 1700 years. It's Protestants who misdirected on that. Every Catholic renews their Baptismal vows once per year during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Protestants literally undid everything Christ established. Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders and Matrimony are the Seven Sacraments of the Church. Without Baptism you cannot receive the Holy Ghost, and without Confirmation you cannot be a Soldier of Christ. Without Matrimony you will not persevere in marriage. Without the Holy Eucharist you'll be weak and unable to resist evil. Without Penance you'll stay in your sins.
She wasn’t randomly chosen She had the qualities God wanted From her faith to her genealogical history (that’s why it is important to read them) But just like any other character in the Bible they were very specific However they are no Gods God used them and wrote their stories for the bigger purpose But God can use anyone
jake hedger That’s very inappropriate language Is that how you speak to the people you should love (according to the second greatest commandment mentioned by Jesus himself) “But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.” (Matthew 5:22) The word also teach us to treat others as superior (philippians 2:3)and to be kind to one another (Ephesians 4:29-32) and to use sweet words You are sining unnecessarily Calling us illiterate makes you a hypocrite May the grace of God be with you and whoever agrees with that phrase God is watching you at all moments always remember that It’s really hard to correct a christian who lack biblical knowledge Make sure your statements are backed up by God
This video get's almost nothing right about Catholicism. Catholics DO NOT believe in Faith + Works. We DO NOT worship Mary. We DO NOT believe the Hail Mary must be said to forgive sins. He didn't even get his history and the inclusion of the Orthodox/the great Schism right. He also says we have these other things that get in the way of Jesus. My wife converted from evangelical Christianity because she "wanted more Jesus." Catholics are 100% about Jesus and we believe we have WAY MORE OF JESUS than the Protestants. I will pray for you and I hope one day you will meet Jesus more truly and more fully in His Church. I'd recommend Trent Horn and Pints with Aquinas as starters, they really helped us. God bless!
I was with you at the beginning and also appreciated that you appeared to put the facts out there and allow people to see the differences. My issue is that you had to use multiple "versions" of the Bible to cite solitary versus to "prove" your point but didn't do the same for the Catholic teaching. I suspect if you also used the passages that Catholics use for there teaching would be detrimental to your agenda. It would have been more difficult to completely miss the mark on Catholic teaching. I get it.. There's no way to share the true teaching of Catholicism and push your message. I'm not trying to argue or convert anyone. Just challenge people to learn the true reason of other people's faith before comparing it anything else. Looking for a level playing field in analysis, that's all. I will answer the question you didn't. To be a Christian is to follow Christ. So if Christ and the Trinity is the one true God, then you are a Christian. Let's not stoke division.
Those are indeed foundational beliefs but you must believe the Bible in its entirety. Not adding on required actions or additional writings. Salvation is through faith alone, not works.
Catholics seem to be more like pharisees than Christians. Christ was all about humility and made it clear that earthly possessions are a waste yet catholic buildings are some of the most expensive buildings per sqft. Also, catholics still believe you need to confess to a man but Jesus made it clear that He is the way to God. Also, there should be no other Gods so why do catholics pray to everyone under the sun?
"You didn't use different versions of the Bible to support Catholicism" The Catholic Church uses their own Bible, using different versions used by Protestants would mean nothing.
@@chanting_germ. The Catholic Church did not write the Bible whatsoever, merely compiling a collection of Books does not make you the author of those Books. The Catholic Church is not even the first entity to compile the Books of the Bible into a single collection. 326. Athanasius, bishop at Alexandria, mentions all of the New Testament books. 315-386. Cyril, bishop at Jerusalem, gives a list of all New Testament books except Revelation. 270. Eusebius, bishop at Caesarea, called the Father of ecclesiastical history, gives an account of the persecution of Emperor Diocletian whose edict required that all churches be destroyed and the Scriptures burned. He lists all the books of the New Testament. He was commissioned by Constantine to have transcribed fifty copies of the Bible for use of the churches of Constantinople. 185-254. Origen, born at Alexandria, names all the books of both the Old and New Testaments. 165-220. Clement, of Alexandria, names all the books of the New Testament except Philemon, James, 2 Peter and 3 John. In addition we are told by Eusebius, who had the works of Clement, that he gave explanations and quotations from all the canonical books. 160-240. Turtullian, contemporary of Origen and Clement, mentions all the New Testament books except 2 Peter, James and 2 John. 135-200. Irenaeus, quoted from all New Testament books except Philemon, Jude, James and 3 John. 100-147. Justin Martyr, mentions the Gospels as being four in number and quotes from them and some of the epistles of Paul and Revelation. Besides the above, the early church fathers have handed down in their writings quotations from all the New Testament books so much so that it is said that the entire New Testament can be reproduced from their writings alone.
How does one follow Christ saying the rosary to Mary, and praying to saints, Christ never did that. How can one work their way to heaven when Christ tells us it is by faith?
One thing conveniently left out was that the reformation also occured WITHIN the catholic church at EXACTLY the same time that Luther reformed outside. The people reforming from within were puzzled as to why he could create his own church. Luther was also a man who embraced drunkeness and was known to be violently antisemetic (writing some of the worst peices of antisemetic literature in history which was cited by the third reich during the holocaust), he was also known to violently opress his followers who didn't agree with HIS interpretation of the bible despite his cause promoting self determination in interperating the scriptures. I grew up a protestant and became catholic and can honestly say that a lot of this was covered up and we were told that he was a very honourable man. Seeing as the catholic church has unbroken lines to Peter, I am much more confident in the legitimacy of the catholic churches foundation over that of the protestant church in which I have highlighted. The funny thing is too is that a lot of these mega churches are conducting themselves in very similar ways to that of the clergy to which Luther was protesting in that donations are seen as a form of penence, which subsecquently result in waelth for the church leaders who practice without the accountability which the catholic church has institutionalised. We catholics consider protestants our fellow chrisitans, but believe that 30,000 diferent denominations isn't conjusive to being one body in christ as opposed to the catholic/universal community. I'll close by saying that I feel closer to God now as a Roman Catholic than when I was baptist/pentacostal.
youre such a hypocrite catholics are constantly going "who cares if the catholic church committed genocide, doesnt mean catholicism is wrong" and yet here you are dismissing protestantism on the basis that luther is a horrible person (he is a horrible person I don't disbelieve that) catholics also have no problem rubbing the whole "there are 100 denominations" thing in protestants faces, but suddenly when it gives you the opportunity to bash protestants suddenly its no longer relevant and all protestants are likeminded of luther
Interesting response, though I'd argue what does a man's personal behaviors have to do with legitimacy of a message? Good or bad, Luther made points that eventually became accepted by other people with critical thinking. It was not a serious institution whatsoever, but rather people wanting to know truth over dogma. From here, it makes sense many would keep the reformation going without neccesarily following Luther (like you said, he himself insulted those who interpreted things differently, which confirms that there were protestants who disagreed with some of his statements)
I agree my brother even though i'm not catholic but raised assemblies of god (but actually practicing & believing Non-denominational Christianity), you spoke the truth because catholics, protestant and even Orthodox are indeed the real Christians.
On the night he was betrayed he took the bread and said “this is a symbol of my body” and likewise with the cup “this is the symbolic cup of my blood” - things you won’t find in the Bible
@@rishanborrymbai1104 so you didn't read my comment? Citing one example of Him identifying a parable =/= every time He tells a parable He explicitly says it's a parable therefore my comment is incorrect.
@@InitialPC A parable is a story, a narrative. Jesus' words at the last supper aren't a story. There's no plot, no characters, no dialogue. His words are a statement of fact, and such statements can only be true or false.
Wrong, there are 7 books that protestants removed. Those 7 books are in the Septuagint, which Jesus quoted from. Martin Luther removed those books and wanted to remove the books of James and Apocalypse as well.
That is not what the Septuagint is. Do you mean the book of Revelation not apocrypha? Definition of Septuagint. : a Greek version of the Jewish Scriptures redacted in the third and second centuries b.c. by Jewish scholars and adopted by Greek-speaking Christians. The Vulgate is usually credited as being the first translation of the Old Testament into Latin directly from the Hebrew Tanakh rather than from the Greek Septuagint
@@kfoster3616 the Apocalypse of John the Apostle and Book of Revelation is the same, just different name. As to the LXX, this was the scriptures translated and written in Greek by the Seventy Scribes. The General Canon of the Catholic Church uses the LXX Canon. The same with the Orthodox Churches.
@@kfoster3616 the apocrypha you are thinking of, is generally what Protestants consider apocryphal. However, within the Catholic Church, and even the various Orthodox Churches, these books are called Deutero-Canonical books (Second Canonical books). If you research Martin Luther, you will learn that he wanted to remove more than the Deutero-Canonical books; the book of James was one example that was mentioned.
Hi, Allen! I appreciate the service to Christians you are working to provide. It contributes to the body of Christ. For your sake, and that of your listeners, I offer you some evidence that contradicts some of the points you make in this video or in the comments. The church has always understood that God and our Lord Yehoshua gave it the mission of evangelizing for the purposes of leading souls into eternal life. That the church was given this commission and the authority to do so exists in many of the scriptures: Mt. 16:19, Mt. 28:16, 19-20, and so many others that are easy to find. As these and other verses show, the Lord chooses the apostles, appoints them for their work, and tells them their boundaries (essentially, they are boundless) and the resistance and opposition they will face. The apostles knew they owned a limited time on Earth, therefore, they appointed their successors to continue what the Lord had set out for them, just as the apostles did when they added a replacement for the traitor, Judas Iscariot. Whatever commission and authority the apostles possessed is now possessed by their successors. If the successors decided in their inspired wisdom to allow the baptism of infants via proxy, then such is permitted and does not contradict any scripture. That baptism is part of our salvation is made clear by the Word. I would reference the final chapter of Matthew again and Acts. 2:38, 40-41. Since baptism is for “the remission of sins” and a gateway to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, clearly it is an essential component of salvation; it does not happen after salvation. Can a man or woman enter heaven with unremitted sin? Upon receiving the Word and being baptized, 3000 souls were added to the body of Christ to “save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Of course, as St. Paul warns us, salvation must be worked out with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12), knowing it is God that allows us to achieve it, but nothing by itself guarantees salvation, not even believing, because you cannot be only a hearer of the Word but a doer, James 1:23, and that takes a lifetime. Your take on what constitutes the Canon of Scripture is, unfortunately, incorrect, however well-intended. The Canon of the Church, what today you call the Catholic Church, was set around A.D. 400. You might not like to hear this, but it was the Protestants who rebelled that created new traditions and set up a different canon. The principle that Christians should make sure no human tradition interferes with God’s Word is one with which we can all agree, however, it would be naive to think the Protestant churches have no traditions of their own that they’ve incorporated into their church life. One of the reasons there are so many fractured denominations in Protestantism is they all have different traditions and ideas about church practices and what God’s Word means. I’m probably not doing justice to the Catholic notion of Tradition, which does not have the same meaning as the common word, “tradition,” but I wanted to take a different tack. I would suggest to you that it is inaccurate to say the Apocrypha contradicts other parts of what you consider the canon of scripture. Rather, it contradicts the theological interpretations that various Protestant thinkers have superimposed on the Word of God. There are other points where I felt you expounded incorrectly, but I will confine my thoughts to two. You should take greater care than to say that “Mary was just a sinful woman just like you and I.” Firstly, that statement is not scriptural. Nowhere does the scripture say that Mary was a sinful woman. Quite the contrary, the scripture states that Mary was “full of grace” or “highly favored”, that she “has found favor with God,” (Strong’s Concordance calls it “indued with special honor”), pronouncements of the angel called Gabriel, who vouched for his testimony when he asserted, “I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God.” Have you asked yourself whom Jesus got his blood from, without the shedding of which there is no forgiveness of sins? Did Jesus get his blood from his Father or his mother? It cannot be the Father, because He is spirit, and all who worship him must worship in spirit. Jesus is of the lineage, the bloodline, of David. Jesus must have David’s blood him, for he is the eternal King of Jacob. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! And from whence does Jesus get his human blood? He gets it from his mother. That is why the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception is so necessary and so powerfully true. God extends his grace miraculously to Mary so that Jesus is conceived in perfection. Mary is no goddess to be worshiped, but she is the new, spiritual Eve, God is with her and was literally in her through the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost and through Christ. There may be some Catholics who take their love of Mary too far, and that is regrettable, but some Protestants have been inexcusable in the way they have spoken of and denigrated her, not for any scriptural reasons, but to oppose and ridicule the Catholic Church because it’s the thing to do when one wants to justify his or her own mistaken belief. A Protestant has no problem asking a fellow believer to intercede for him or her with prayer to the Lord, but if a Catholic asks Mary to “pray for us now and at the hour of our death,” it becomes apostasy, heresy, heathenism, idolatry, and any other religious, ad hominem descriptor a person can think of. Shameful! Lastly, I believe in transubstantiation. I believe it because of St. John’s gospel, the sixth chapter. It is the acceptable way the Lord has provided to eat his flesh and drink his blood to begin one’s participation in eternal life. It’s one of the ways to have Christ in you. Catholics have a tendency to formulate complex philosophical statements to explain the Words and events of scripture, so I get it that it’s not easy to understand or accept. It’s like the doctrine of the Trinity, which I believe you do accept. I have never heard a clear explanation for three in one. The idea seems beyond human articulation. Yet Sacred Scripture says the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We baptize in their names, so they must be one and the same yet… distinct. Why do the Hebrews say, “The LORD our God is one LORD?” (Deut. 6:4). It’s fascinating to note that the term translated as “God” is actually the plural. God bless you in the name of Jesus!
YOU: The apostles knew they owned a limited time on Earth, therefore, they appointed their successors to continue what the Lord had set out for them, just as the apostles did when they added a replacement for the traitor, Judas Iscariot. *ME: The 120 disciples voting on the replacement of Judas in Acts 1, does not mean that the Apostles got to appoint their own successors -- you've already said that it is GOD that assigns the role of Apostle as a Holy Spirit GIFT (1Corinth 12), men in the church have nothing to do with it.* The example is Apostle Paul -- who was called by GOD, given the Holy Spirit gift of Apostle by GOD, and who started preaching immediately -- without any confirmation or appoint by men in the church -- see Acts 9. *Besides, to be a successor of an Apostle means that the successor IS AN APOSTLE. Jesus instructed Peter to be a traveling Apostle preaching the Gospel of Savior Jesus to the lost unbelieving Jews to get them saved* (Matthew 10:5-6, Galatians 2:7-9, Luke 22:28-30, Mark 16:15-16, etc) -- *and that is what Peter did -- Acts 2, Acts 3, Acts 4, Acts 10:38-43, etc.* Soooo.... any successor of Peter's would also have to be a traveling preacher taking the Gospel to the unbelieving Jews -- the Roman popes are NOT successors of the APOSTLE Peter. An APOSTLE is "someone sent out with a message". An APOSTLE of Christ is a traveling preacher with the message of the Gospel of Christ. And APOSTLE is preaching to the LOST UN-believers to get them saved (Rom 10:9-17, Rom 1:16) And APOSTLE is not a shepherd over the Believers in the church. APOSTLE to the unbelievers and shepherd in the church of believers are two different church offices/ministries (1Corinth 12:27-30).
YOU: Lastly, I believe in transubstantiation. I believe it because of St. John’s gospel, the sixth chapter. *ME: FIRST:: If Jewish Jesus (Galatians 4:4) was telling the Jews to disobey GOD's command in Leviticus 17:10-11* -- never drink the blood of the sin sacrifice because the sacrificed blood is only to go on the altar for the forgiveness of sins, Hebrews 9:12,26,28 -- *and YOU are right that Jesus was telling the Jews to drink Jesus' actual sacrificed blood in John 6, then Jesus was a sinner according to Jesus himself in Matthew 5:19-20.* *SECOND:: Jesus tells you HOW to partake of the "bread from Heaven that gives Eternal Life" in John 6:34-36 -- Jesus says to BELIEVE IN HIM, not to eat Jesus' actual flesh.* (John 6:63) *THIRD:: Jesus says that anything that you PHYSICALLY consume, just becomes shite in the toilet -- Matthew 15:17.* What you PHYSICALLY consume can not make you evil -- and by that same token, can not make you clean/righteous. *FOURTH:: The elements of the Passover Meal* (lamb, unleavened striped/pierced bread, bitter herbs, etc). *symbolized the suffering and death of the Jewish Messiah to defeat death -- the lamb did not magically turn into Messiah's actual flesh when the Jews ate it.* (even Jesus ate the Passover lamb) Jesus FULFILLED the elements of the Passover Meal by his suffering and death on the wooden cross that defeated Death (Hebrews 2:14). *Therefore, Jesus started a new Victory Meal of leavened bread and wine that would now symbolized the victory of Messiah's death/shed blood on the cross* (Hebrews 10:10,14, 2Corinth 5:21, Galatians 3:13, John 12:31-33, 1Peter 2:24, etc). Why would Jewish Jesus and his Jewish Apostles ( that understood the Passover Meal only symbolized the Messiah's suffering/death) think that the elements of the Communion Meal did not symbolize the Messiah's suffering/death ?? When Jesus says "this is my body" its the same as the lamb of the Passover Meal also being "this is my body" -- John 1:29. *Transubstantiation was never taught by the Original Jewish Church (Acts 15:20) -- *it is the pagan doctrine of drinking sacrificed blood which is an abomination to GOD* (Revelation 17:4-6) *that was added by the evil church leadership that came AFTER the Apostles/Original Church -- see Acts 20:29-30.*
1. Yes that is true. You cannot be lukewarm about your faith and must actively serve God in your life. 2. The Pope and the Cathechism are not on the same level as the Bible. The Bible overrides the Popes teachings in case of a corrupt Pope. For a comparison, the Bible is the supreme law of the Catholic Church as the Constitution is of the United States. And we only add 7 books, not 14. 3. Confession is not the only way to confess sins, there is also repentance, prayer (only for venial sins), and a few other ways. The priest is simply a "portal" to Jesus. He forgets (or tries to) about your sins immediatly after they are confessed and if he hasn't, he may never speak of your sins. Mary is not on the same level as Jesus, nor was she a sinful woman, as the Bible states she was without sin. She is venerated, but not worshipped. 4. This may be a disappointing one, but not everyone is ready to immediately see God. 5. Prayers for those in purgatory only help them if they accept it, and are not required to get to Heaven. 6. These prayers are simply messages to the Saints in honor of them or asking for them to pray for you. No, we do not pray to them in worship. 7. Is the bread and wine at Communion the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ? The answer is yes. It is not a symbol, nor does the scripture say that; you are indeed literally eating of Jesus' flesh and drinking of Jesus' blood. Edit: Allen's comment: Catholics do baptise babies as it is required to receive any of the other sacraments, but does not guarantee salvation nor prevent salvation from the unbaptised.
Hi. Great job you have done here. The Eucharist used to be and sometimes is still a doubt to me as it is odd to think of eating flesh and drinking blood. And thats why some of the followers out there has left after those words - "I say onto you if you would not be eating flesh nor drinking blood of Son of Men you can't be saved". This is confusing and so that happened - guys just gone. And actually - Martin Luther did and the main Luteran Church still keeps the tradition of Holy Eucharist. May God be with You. :)
This was in John 6, 48-58. There are some interesting dynamics in these teachings out here. First Jesus says that who believes in Him has the eternal life. But then it is starting - I am the Bread Father has sent, but also that the manna was not the real bread, so He denies the food itself as being lets say holy but also He emphasise the neccesity of real consumption of his body and blood. Maybe I am not that clear in my writings.. So we in the same time have to EAT and believe in what we really eat - when we believe in what we eat (such an odd and strange and unusual idea) we have eternal life. This argument He has there with Jews is fully soaked with conceptions. It Is so dynamic and deep I cant even breathe.. :)
We are honoring the saints for their power, their wisdom and their skills of staying close to God and we love them because of what God has done for them! We don’t put them before God ❤️
I hope you don't put your saints before God or me or Jesus (not that you should worship Christs though). I have come across some Roman Catholics who have really disliked me even though I didn't do anything bad to them; somebody by the name of Julian Talle would be one of them.
Correct, sister. They are perfected to conform to the image of God. They therefore relate to us in a unique way that allows us to obtain special connection to God.

I understand and relate to absolutely everything that you said having been raised Catholic myself, but saved by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ Jesus in my adult life.
@carlalawson6785 I too approached my parents on the same subject when I was young, so I will pray that your heart may be open to the Holy Spirit to be your guide when you speak to your family (so as to help strengthen your relationship with your sisters) and that you are not guided by the words of Mr Allen Parr. Start by seeking to understand a few things about what your family believes, so you can approach them with wisdom rather than disdain. I suggest you watch a few Catholic Answers RUclips videos, so you are clear on what your family believes. I leave you with this on Grace. The Church teaches, “Faith is Grace” and “our justification comes from the grace of God. God is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to His call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.” (CCC 1996) Praying for you.

Also, the Jews questioned the real presence of our lord in the Eucharist 9 times. Jesus had 9 times to come out and definitively say " naw yall this is just a symbol". But actually, what he says over and over is THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD. Pretty clear that it is most definitely NOT a symbol.
it was symbolic because they had his dead body and they did not drink his blood and eat his flesh. If the apostles took literal then they would have. If they took it symbolicly then so do I.
For the Jews --cannibalism and especially the consumption of blood was unthinkable and an abomination! Check out the Old Testament -- that was their "bible" at the time. Jesus said many things that were not literal.
@@judiw2045 But how is it you go about discerning that this particular instance is not literal? We have scripture, where early followers of Christ showed MAJOR reservations to the principle of the "real presence of Christ" in the Eucharist and Christ was given multiple instances to say "this is not literal, Do this a symbol etc." yet he NEVER did it. He explicitly and emphatically said multiple times "this is my body, this is my blood." This is where protestants just are ignorant. Because they come from an ideology of sola scriptura, then make huge inferences, and huge mental gymnastics to perform eisegesis rather than exegesis. You can't have it both ways. I have a friend that tries to say because when we put consecrated bread under a microscope, we cannot see anything that confirms its jesus' body or flesh from a scientific standpoint that the real presence does not exist. Well Jesus says that when baptized people have a washing/renewing of the spirit that is not observable or provable by science either. Does this mean Jesus lied? If Jesus Christ is divine and has the power to perform miracles that are unobservable and provable by the human eye or science, then has the power to accomplish what he says he can. You cannot isolate different aspects and say well Jesus can do this when it pertains to Baptism, but cant do the same thing when it comes to the real presence of himself in the eucharist. Its blatant intellectual dishonestly and incoherent and inerrant reasoning.
@@seanwhitaker484 I will not continue to argue the Eucharist with you. However, you need to look at all scriptures in context of the culture of the time. Also -- you stated that Jesus never said "Do this a symbol...." Well, consider that He spoke at many times in parables. When asked, this is what He said........... Matthew 13:10-16 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. Yes, I know that the Last Supper is not a parable. But consider, just for a moment, why Jesus may not have said, "Hey, this is a symbol"

That is ridiculous. First the REAL church (the saved wheat and sheep) are the "Bride of Christ". Secondly, Jesus was very clear that the church consists of unsaved tares (sown by Satan) and saved wheat/sheep (sown by God). The field is the world - both Jew and Gentile. The "fruit" of that field is either "wheat or tares". Both grow together until the "harvest" where the REAL Christians are gathered to Christ and the unsaved tares (being "children of Satan") are cast into the eternal Lake of Fire. This is very basic and essential theology child. Why is it "news" to you? ------------------

@@soulandsacred4009 YOU: I am a catholic and everything he said about the teachings of the Catholic Church is false *ME: LOL. Let's see if the Roman Catholic Church teaches truth as taught by the Apostles. Apostle Paul taught that DEATH entered the world by ONE MAN/Adam (Romans 5:12), and that DEATH /Satan was defeated/crushed by ONE MAN/Jesus dying on the cross (Hebrews 2:14, Genesis 3:15).* Yet Rome teaches that Death entered the world by a WOMAN/Eve, and therefore Mary is the "new Eve" or "Co-redemptrix" (no NT verses, Acts 4:12). *Should be believe the Apostle Paul or the Roman vatican ???* *Besides, Eve is the "type, shadow, pattern" of the CHURCH, not Mary.* Eve was of the BODY of the First Adam -- Genesis 2:21-22 The Church is the BODY of the Second Adam -- Colossians 1:18, 1Corinth 12 Eve was the BRIDE of the First Adam -- Genesis 2:24 The Church is the BRIDE of the Second Adam -- Ephesians 5:32
I'm glad you had this video made. I have a big problem with people who claim to be Christians yet look down on other denominations. Are you forgetting the common ground? Are you forgetting the bigger picture? Whether or not you have a priest or a pastor isn't what makes you saved. Whether or not you attend a mass or service once doesn't make you saved. It's Jesus CHRIST. Jesus is the whole point of this. We just made it about each other. All these differences don't matter when you see the common ground.
flattbutt believer. nicely said. I wish more shared this sentiment. For if they did, perhaps they could concentrate on loving each other in Christ and so, perhaps more of Christ could be shown to the world. That would be a wonderful thing.
I agree! It is important to look at those things we all have in common and share. Historically, Catholics and Protestants agree that Protestantism can find its roots in Martin Luther in the early 16th Century - thus, what we know as Lutherans. There is a statement between Protestants and Catholics that ACTUALLY STATES THOSE SHARED BELIEFS ------> The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification by The Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church. www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html - Although a short document and well worth reading you will find much of this salvation theology as mentioned in paragraphs 5, 15, 16, 24, and 27.
I would like to thank you for uploading this video because when I read the comments of true Catholics, it gives me hope that our Catholic faith is still rooted to the true Vine, Jesus Christ and whatever false teaching your kind propagates, you find you are contradicting yourself. One thing is certain, The Day is coming when we shall stand in front of the Judge and all truth shall be revealed because we can neither deceive God or be deceived by Him.
Why does the pope bless troops to go to war and shed blood,even killing other Catholics from other countries???? how can this church be considered universal if they kill their own kind?????????????????
Chris Israel Jesus (and in a sense Peter since he also talked) talked to Moses and Elijah. Did He commit necromancy as a human? Please know the definition of necromancy before you accuse us Catholics as one. God bless.
+Phil- Would you like to know what worship God approves of???? also does your religion teach you and prepare you of the coming Armageddon????? the last days stated in Matthew 24?????
Not Martin Luther King ! it's sad to say that Pastor Allen Parr had to mention that. Protestants don't know their own history. They hardly even know the Bible.
Looooool we know our Bible, doesn’t seem much Christian like to come for your own people. If you truly know your Bible you would know God didn’t want this. If anything Protestants actually base their life on the Bible, tradition is set aside through that we are able to see the evil concepts Christianity has introduced. I’ll pray for you, but on that note please respect, I respect you even if you think Allen parr doesnt
The people outside of Christianity see that Protestants constantly stick to the Bible’s teachings, not what a priest adds, we add or our parents add to the religion. EVERYTHING WE DO IS IN THE BIBLE so claiming we don’t know our Bible is silly. Majority of Protestants spend everyday dwelling in the word of God because that was God talking to us directly not other thing is in the place to decide for God
On Point and great analysis. Right your last statement. It's between that person & the Lord. We are not to go around deciding who is or who isn't a Christian. Lining up with the principles, teachings, beliefs etc. Of Scripture is of the utmost importance. As Saints/Believers/ Born again etc we absolutely should agree on the basic tenets of our Faith as stated in scripture; but we often get side tracked on lesser things. Rituals and traditions has, can and will side track us and cause division, but we Don't have to let these things take priority. Unfortunately many do. Good video.
Agree because the basic tenets of christianity of the two denominations, protestant and catholics is actually the utmost priority and while lesser things are not the biblical priority.
Have you ever listened to an atheist while they make a mockery out of religion using their own misunderstandings on Christian beliefs? Well that's exactly what Allen Parr is doing in his feeble attempt to answer the question are Catholics Christian.
I feel like something that is lost in other “Christian” religions is the love of God. Us Christians love God and enjoy the relationship we get to have with him, and with routine baptisms and routine communions I fear that intimacy is lost. And as for ‘judging’ the Catholics out there, we just want you to know that loving Jesus and knowing him is the way to heaven and we don’t want to get there and not see you there with us. God loves all of us we just have to return the favor faithfully.
This is why people don't go to church anymore! Too much confusion and Nit picking! I can tell you right now we are humans we are gonna make mistakes a and churches make mistakes i always hear our church is right no our church is right no their church is right Then you have these churches where they call the pastor's wife the 1st lady of the church what the heck is that? You guys consider Nick pick argue pargue pull apart whatever I'm going by what scripture says who so ever shall believe You guys can commence with your nit picking
How is protestant communion any less routine? It's only less frequent. Mass is only one aspect, in fact we have DAILY mass you can attend, plus adoration and all kinds of other stuff. Catholic worship is very rhythmic, just like our heartbeats, and the seasons that God has set in motion. It is far from routine, mass is extremely reverent. Furthermore we also know and love Jesus, we just believe that one should go the extra mile since through true faith, the good works will be manifest. We keep traditions so as not to become complacent in our salvation.
I think what’s missing is the understanding of what Gods love means really looks like. His love is perfect but it is measured with His perfect Justice.
So misinformed. When we pray to saints we ask them to pray for us. They themselves don't have any other power. We would never put anyone (including Mary) on the same level as God.
That is what sounds idiotic to me.Why do you even pray to them in the first place.? Just don't.You have Jesus for you.You don't need the saints to pray for you.I say again ,You have JESUS.Don't pray to the saints when you have Jesus.He has given us the authority to ask or pray to him directly.
itsmonikamaria why do Catholics pray to saints when you can just pray to god yourself like you have a direct line to god so just pray to him? never understood that about Catholics
@@spencer62321 Because God is not the god of the dead but of the living. Catholics believe saints are alive in Christ, in heaven. Also, the Bible tells us the prayers of the righteous are powerful. We are not righteous but the saints are. So we can ask them to pray for us. It is no different than asking your family member or your friend to pray for you. Revelation tells us that people are alive in heaven and they pray for us.
I see a lot of people vainly pointing fingers at each other " Oh I pray that you see the truth...Aw too bad" This is very disappointing to see brothers and sisters treating each other with such condescension.Guys this is the exact opposite of what God spoke through the Apostle Paul. That we don't argue with other believers about theological menutia, unless it's huge like denying the divinity or atonement of Jesus.
I agree. There are so many Christians who think they have it all figured out and they love casting stones at others, as if God's light has shined down on them alone. I have no patience for it.
I really am thankful that there is a comment like this here. Yes, no kingdom is strong when its people are divided. God asked - told, rather - us to be humble and respect each other. Sir Allen said something that is exactly from the Bible which is that it is God's job to separate the right and not, but it is our job as God's ambassadors to inform the other peopl about this. Unfortunately, most of them are offended and will reject us. They sometimes misinterpret it as picking a fight well in fact it is not. I still pray for ALL of God's people to set their paths in line with God. Peace to all😁
exactly bruh, no denomination or anything will save you. the glorious and loving and merciful God who ALL GLORY BE TO HIM who sent his only son to come and offer us a repentance and forgiveness of our sins is what saves us. don’t care if ur protestant, catholic, baptist, presybetarian, orthodox, at the end of the day it is about the relationship with our loving God. the bible tells us not to judge, so how can we judge another persons faith? how can we know that just because they are protestant or catholic that they don’t have a relationship with Jesus? The devil wants us to argue, because the more we argue with each other, less time is spent on the people who have never heard about Jesus. ALL GLORY BE TO GOD FOREVER AND EVER, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL WHO READ THIS AND MAY JESUS COME INTO US AND FREE US OF OUR SINS. Amen

Just like a lot of the simplistic differences given, many were wrong. Your example points this out. Even Protestant Bible translations verified Jesus said “ this IS my body”, this IS my blood”. Jesus DID NOT say “ this bread is a symbol of my body ( and blood). The “Bible Only” was never a Christian teaching until the past 500 years. For the first 1500 years..... Catholicism and Orthodoxy were the ONLY Christians.
"...My sister recently went through some catholic school to become catholic or something ..." Catholic or "something"??? That one statement shows the level of ignorance you operate from. Very sad.
I never knew people viewed catholic this way. I was born a catholic and grew up knowing christians and the other branches are the same and only differentiated in practices. Sadly, from what i’ve seen and watched, a lot of people are more focused on the religion itself rather than the beliefs we share in. 🙂
Jesus * started one church * He said it would be visible * He said would last forever * He would always be with it * He said it would be messy * He picked 12 apostles * They picked successors * He talked of his Kingdom * He said Seek and u shall find. * He said those who u forgive * He said This is My Body * He said father let them be one. The Roman Catholic Church
Thank you for this comment, I am learning about Catholicism. “Let them be one”? When the Bible talks about a Church, it means all the believers, I’ve met protestants who are saved without being Catholic.
No its not. You guys believe Mary is sinless. You believe That Mary and saints can hear your prayers. You trust the pope more then the bible. You guys believe so much things that goes against Yeshuas teachings. You step on Yeshuas blood by believing in purgatory. if purgatory is a thing then why did Yeshua have too die for our sins. If Mary is sinless then why did Yeshua have too die and not her?? You Guys are following a demonic Faith!
Nadia Pugh I don‘t really know about the Muslin one, but comparisons with other „christian“ denominations such as Jehova‘s Witnesses, Mormons or maybe even 7th Day Adventists (in my view they often walk a very fine line between faith and heresy) would definitely be interesting.
Here's what I know about some Muslim beliefs about Jesus: *He was announced by Jibril (Gabriel) to Miriam (Mary). *He is born of the Virgin Mary. *He is only a human prophet, but the mightiest of all prophets of Islam. *He did not die on the cross nor resurrected; according to them, the world was deceived. *He is the Al-Masi (Messiah) and will come again at the end of the world. He'll then rule for 40 years then die. I'm a Catholic christian living in the middle east and they have pamphlets in a lot of places like malls trying to convert people to Islam.
Tim, you forgot the rest of it. Again. "Those who through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may achieve eternal salvation." You may be interested to know that the Church has always taught that non-Catholics can sometimes be saved and that ecumenism is a good thing.
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. --------------------- (2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept" is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse). -------------------------- (3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved "wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13] The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their "fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people (in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot. ----------------------------- (4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom". In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches (like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by (e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc, ---------------------------------- (5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all "Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches. ------------------------------------- All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church) and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers) ------------------------------------ However, there are TWO important facts to consider: (a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep) who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end, there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth. (b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine "closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10] AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33] AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11] --------------------------------------- You can see some of the mysteries taught by the Last Saints at: www.5thKingdomofHeaven.com ------------------------------------------
In the late fourth Century the Catholic Church labeled the Gnostic writings apocryphal and canonized the writings of the Apostles as scripture. In 2021 pastor Allen Parr rewrites history and calls the deuterocanonical books from the Old Testament apocryphal. He even gets the number of books wrong. There are seven of them not 14. If you need proof of this history, look into the Gutenberg Bible. It was printed in 1451 before the Protestant movement even began. It includes all seven, not 14 of the deuterocanonical, not apocryphal books of the Old Testament. The scariest part of this entire issue is that the pastor can get every single bit of this wrong and people will still call him a great pastor. He loses no credibility whatsoever. This is especially scary since he is a Christian pastor.

One that I failed to mention in this video is baptizing babies. We do not believe in baptizing babies for salvation. We believe you can dedicate your baby to the Lord but that does not guarantee true or salvation. Baptism must happen subsequent to salvation.

@@josetierra100 So regarding James 5:16, does this priest confess his sins back to you? If not then you aren't confessing your sins to one another. "To one another" is a two way affair.

@@yanhelheartsmakeup i am an ex catholic (devoted Filipino Catholic), and truly i tell you, we pray to/in the name of the Pope, Priest, Mary, many many saints. So may feast of saints. Do rosary, visit images which is really common in the Philippines. Many devotees of Mary. More proud being a Catholic than a follwer of Christ. Surely that is not "Jesus is the ONLY WAY".
@@mitchynitchy
I assume you were a cradle catholic brought up in the faith as a child without truly understanding Catholicsm. Have you even once read the Catechism of the Catholic Church? No person who understands the catholic religion worships the Pope. Likewise the Early Church fathers already venerated Mary and the Saints. I'm talking the catholic (universal) Church, not just the Roman Catholic Church. The original Church. The Church of Peter and the Apostles. Protestants follow the teachings of Martin Luther who in my opinion, reject their teachings but can strangely cherry pick some of it, like a trinitarian God, which is not in the Bible.
I too am a cradle catholic and was confused when i grew up. I applied my belief and knowledge of a child and was unable to defend Catholicsm from protestants. I didn't know it well enough. Then I took the time to learn more about it. And in understanding it better, i am today, very proud to be a Catholic.
@@oliver8160 i went to catholic school,thats alomost half of my life. Done sacraments, been to church every Sunday. Easy to be religious. But no intimate personal relationship with God. I would mostly stumbe and trust my own understanding of how to please God. I was still a god of myself.
Now, I am a born again Christian. My old self is gone, i am a new creation in Christ my Lord and Saviour. Jesus is the Lord of my life. Never been this way when I was a Catholic.
Priests never told or remind me to read cathechism in the mass. Neither encourage to read the Holy Bible.
Revelation 22:18-21
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
No need for any additional writing, i will stick with God's word.
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
That is Jesus Christ.
@@mitchynitchy
Was the same for me. The priest didn't tell me either. Or maybe I just wasn't listening.
Did the Sacrements as a kid, went to mass every Sunday and lived my life being distant to God too. Then, i guess, similar to how you were 'born again', i decided to learn more about being a Christian. Except, I looked inwards for a deeper understanding and renewed my Catholic faith.
Anyway, since you are happier now, good for you. :)
Though I don't think it was fair to accuse catholics of adoring saints when catholics actually do not.
Jesus is the Way, the truth, and the life.

Gospel of John chapter 20 verse 23. Then Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit whose sins you forgive will be forgiven them whose sins you retain will be retained.

I was baptized and raised a Catholic. I thought Christianity was a religion, but after scripture reading and a lot of circumstances, I learned that it's a RELATIONSHIP with God. Ever since then, things have changed for me, and I'm proud to say I deeply know God in my life.
But there are Catholics who have a relationship with God, ever heard of the Religious Hippie?
@Fadi Khoory Perhaps yes, but at the end of the day, their catholicism won't save them. Our spiritual walks are all different. You can choose to be a Catholic and use it to nurture the relationship with Christ, but to me, it just didn't resonate. I was also a former altar server, commentator , and reader for many masses. I also led the rosary on many occasions , but I didn't find or know God through those things. I felt they were just empty works to save myself .
I don't know what you mean when you say you thought Christianity was a religion. What do you define as a religion?
And when say Christianity is a relationship with God, do you mean that it doesn't include a relationship with fellow believers, other people, and society?
A relationship with yourself to you can't forget about your own light which most likely Jesus came I am a god and I want to teach the rest of my flock that they are God's
You must have believed in Jesus and received him as Lord and Savior then
Christianity is not complicated, Jesus & Jesus alone is the way!
Be born again new creation in Christ and walk in the spirit bearing fruit. Your right its not complicated. Just read the Bible
@Darren Arthur That's YOUR opinion and YOURS alone. Period.
@Darren Arthur Hope He's not. You can keep claiming it but it doesn't make it true.
Nowhere in the bible does it state that Jesus was born on 25th December. These are pagan beliefs being grafted into Christianity.
You are worshipping sun gods. Why is your Sabbath on SUNday rather than Saturday (the real biblical Sabbath)?
In 321 A.D. Constantine (emperor of Rome) decreed: “On the venerable day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed”.
Commandment eight from the commandments tells you:
”Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” Exodus 20:8 KJV
This verse clearly tells you to remember which day it is, and to keep it holy. But Constantine changed which day it was and his church changed the wording on their version of the ten commandments to:
“Remember to keep holy the LORD'S Day.”Removing remember the Sabbath day (i.e. which day it was).
These resurrecting godmen (i.e. Osiris, Horus, Adonis ,Tammuz, Mithras etc.) are known by different names in different cultures but are fundamentally the same mythical being with some varying attributes. You are worshipping SUN gods and the main worship day of them is on SUNday.They commonly have sun discs behind or on top of their heads.
The whole Catholic mass has its roots with the pagan religions. All the pagan rituals seemed to have been merged into Christianity. The Eucharist once transubstantiated into Jesus is then placed into a “Monstrance” that looks like a sunburst (i.e. representing the sun). The pagan religions mentioned are forms of sun worship, worshipping their sun gods.Jesus’ the Christians are worshipping is not the real historical Jesus but just a Roman way of worshipping their sun gods.
Hymn singing and the use of musical instruments was used in many forms of pagan worship. The use of bell, candles, and holy water came from Mithraism.

My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. 🙏😔
He already did it. We just accept Him and believe Him as Lord and Savior. God bless you. Don't condemn yourself, Jesus loves you so much♥️
Jesus have mercy on us, mother Mary help us.
May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen🙏🏿
@@immaokoye why Mary? why not tell to Jesus directly? isn't Jesus enough for you?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

I am Catholic and a follower of Christ. I have always called myself a Christian. I also believe my prayers can go directly to God.
Bridget Drummond Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me. The church is not the way. Jesus is the way. The Apostle Paul even stated that wolves will come into the church and pervert the truth. That’s exactly what took place with the beginning of Catholic doctrines. Let me ask you this. If you know the truth above everyone else do you still practice sin? Do you still lie, and steal, and slander, and take Gods name in vain, lust or look at porn, or get drunk, do you ever hate or dishonor your parents, do you do drugs? Do you commit sexual immorality of any kind? If you still practice sin habitually then can you say you walk with God and know God truly. It says in 1 John that if a man claims to know God but does not obey his commandments then he is a liar and the truth is not in him, meaning Jesus. Because Jesus is the truth. Think about that and then get back to me. Jesus said you will know them by their fruit. It’s real easy to practice religion but never actually get born again. This is why Jesus said it is not those that have said Lord Lord that will enter the kingdom of heaven but only those that do the will of my father. Jesus said he will say to those depart from me you who practice iniquity for I never knew you. Think about that and get back to me. There are a lot of professing Christians that don’t know God at all just like the Jews that crucified Jesus did not know God at all even though they were children of Abraham by heritage.
@@Sidney051 I'm a Catholic as well. I myself struggle with some of our teachings too but was the start of the "wolf's" changing the the word of God when they took out the other 7 books of the Bible to fit their beliefs?.... The one thing he said wrong is the amount of books in the Catholic Bible. It's not 14 more than the 66 books he stated in the video. It's 73 books. Even the KJB started out with the 73 books till Martin Luther took them out in the 1600's. There's a lot of man made teachings in the Catholic faith that I struggle with and till this day I'm still learning about. I feel we just don't learn enough of our faith if we just go to church on Sundays. And yes you could potentially not be right with God. I'm studying as much as I can right now and until something very black and white makes me feel like this is the wrong religion....then I'll change.
Robert Reinhart Jesus said the blind follow the blind. The Bible says we have an anointing from the Holy One and we do not need anyone to teach us. That is because when a man gets born again Jesus comes to live inside of a persons heart. When you have Jesus you don’t need anyone to teach you. I don’t need anyone to teach me at all. Jesus said my sheep hear my voice and they will not follow another. The reason why you struggle and don’t know is because you have never acknowledged your sin before God. You are trying to find God and God is actually trying to find you. It’s not about being good or following a set of rules. It’s about turning away from your sin and following Jesus. Not following rules. Following Jesus. You have to acknowledge your sin first though. If you are honest you will admit that you practice certain sins. The Bible says that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible says if someone is practicing sin then the truth of God is not in them. The Bible says that person is a liar. When the Holy Spirit lives in someone they cannot continue in sin. The Bible says it is impossible for the man that is born again to continue in sin. You know as well as I do that you are practicing certain sins. You just have to be honest about those sins and repent of them. I am not talking about confessing them to a priest or saying things like everybody sins. No everybody doesn’t sin. If a man be born again he cannot continue in sin. It doesn’t mean that man will never sin again. It means if the Holy Spirit lives in you then the Holy Spirit is leading your life and the decisions you make. You don’t need to learn anymore. Jesus said they are forever seeking but never perceiving and forever hearing but never understanding. You have to ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life and repent of your sins and then commit to follow him with all your heart. You have to admit you are a sinner though first. I don’t mean say yes I am a sinner because everyone sins. I am talking about examining your own life and the sins you have committed and acknowledging those sins before God right where you are. God can hear you right where you are. You don’t have to go to church to find God. God is everywhere and he hears the cry of your heart right where you are. If you try to hang on to self righteousness and try to keep searching for the right rules and teachings to follow then you will never find truth. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is the way and Jesus is the life. You don’t need a religion. You need to find Jesus.
@@Sidney051 Well.... So many things you touched on here. I'm a Born again Christian. February 26th 1999. But..... I'm back with the Catholic faith. Does that mean I lost my salvation? That would make God a lier and he doesn't lie. So I know God is in my heart. Always was. Born a Catholic and raised in a Catholic School is where my roots are. The fact you are here as well questions me.... Why, if you're so confident in your own believe? You see I like to study a lot of religions. I'm big into the young earth creation and watch tons of debates. It's part of my journey with Christ. Very fascinating! I believe you have to have that relationship with God and repent for your sins and I do as well. Not easy to make an appointment with the priest especially at this time with the virus. I pray for my fruitful life, family, job, the sick, etc. God knows me. I guess I'm a Born again Catholic.😎
Robert Reinhart Let me ask you this. You said you got born again on February 26, 1999. Do you mind sharing with me how that happened? What happened on that day that makes you say you got born again?
This is a rare video - you get fairly close to what Catholics actually believe, with only a few minor mistakes. Thank you for doing everything you could to get it right! It's so nice to see a good faith effort for once.
1. We don't believe we are saved by works, but that works are a necessary part of salvation, since faith without works is dead, among other verses.
2. We have 7 more books than Protestants, not 14, books that were used by Jesus in His day.
3. We believe in three authorities: written tradition (the Bible), oral tradition (the teachings of the Church such as interpretation), and the Magisterium (the Church itself).
4. We absolutely do not put Mary on the same level as Jesus. She is less than the smallest mote of dust beneath God's feet. However, she is the Mother of God, and deserves our respect for her role in salvation history. All generations will call her blessed, after all.
5. You do not have to say Hail Marys in order to be forgiven. The penance assigned after confession is not fixed nor is it necessary. Jesus forgives us either way. However, doing penance is a part of repentance, and benefits us.
6. The Bible never once says the Eucharist is a "symbol" of Jesus's body. Jesus repeats that it is His body and blood six times without backing down.
Keep putting out such great content. It's awesome to engage with faithful Protestants.
You say you appreciate his content and how close it is, then proceed to "correct" everything he said? LOL
“Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last.”
A) How is the above not a direct prayer/petition to Mary? That is not you, asking her, to pray for you. That is you praying to her.
B) How is calling Mary your "hope", "sweetness", "life", & "holy" not worship?
It's pretty clear that Catholics not only pray directly to Mary (and don't just ask her for intercession as they claim) but also worship her.
@@0NoOne1nParticular A.) It's an eloquent, poetic way of asking for her to lead us to Christ, which is the very essence of intercessory prayer. Our home is in heaven with Jesus. The Hail, Holy Queen prayer is traditionally a part of the rosary, in which we ask Mary to pray for us now and at the hour of our death that we may make our way to the fruit of her womb, Jesus.
B.) If you called one of your kids your hope, sweetness, and your life, would that be worshiping him or her? Of course not. It's a way to express the magnitude of your appreciation and love. So referring to the mother of Jesus that way is not worship, unless of course you believe she is divine.
And we don't believe she is divine. Otherwise, we'd tell you! We'd call her our goddess. We'd call her our savior. We wouldn't deny our worship of her, because that's not what someone who worships a deity does. You can find plenty of official Catholic doctrine informing us that Mary is not to be worshiped, and that worshiping anyone other than God is a mortal sin, but you won't find a single document in our 2,000-year history saying that we should worship Mary. Except of course, writings from groups like the Collyridians, who were excommunicated for that very reason.
And yes, we call Mary holy for the same reason we call the Bible holy: because in Koine Greek, the word is either attributed to something that inspires religious awe or something that has God's seal upon it, and surely, the woman that bore Jesus Christ incarnate was marked by God!
@@bigfootapologetics Ah so I assume she hears all these billions of daily, hourly, prayers? From the afterlife? She is omniscient and omnipresent? Wow! The Mother of God indeed! Okay so you do pray to and offer her words of worship and think she was without sin and immaculately born. Everything associated with worship, BUT just, "𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵" worship her... Gotcha! Thanks for informing me about the Roman Empires Catholic religion, thats pretty much how I figured it.
@@0NoOne1nParticular Hey, if you want to just ignore everything I said, be sarcastic, and put words in my mouth in favor of the conclusion you already had before replying to me in the first place, you could've just saved us both time and not bothered to comment in the first place.
I understand that it's confusing to understand the distinction between affectionate words and worship, given that the Protestant worldview did away with the classical understanding of what worship meant to Christians for all of history in the 16th century.
Fulton Sheen once said: “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.” Sadly, in your case, you don't have the excuse of ignorance here; as I've told you and every Catholic and Orthodox has maintained for 2,000 years, none of us see Mary as divine or an object of our worship. So while you're welcome to accuse us of something we don't do (to the point where we have excommunicated the people who do it) and explicitly tell you we don't do, just remember that false witness is a serious sin.
All I can do here is wish you the best and hope God leads you to being more open-minded and charitable in the future.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church?
The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D. and it’s a glimpse of what’s found within its pages.
Church:
* "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
* “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
* “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
* “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
* “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
* “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
* “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
* “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
* “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
* “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
* “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes!
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
“This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians 4:13-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
The meaning of Christian is to be Christ like
The Gospel = Jesus died for OUR INIQUITIES, Jesus was BURIED (proof he died), Jesus was RESURRECTED BY GOD (defeated sin, evil and the devil) - a Christian is someone who BELIEVES that Christ did all those things, and did it for THEM. THEN and only then, through your walk with Christ and sanctification your life will reflect more Jesus like attributes and thus being Christ like. brother please read all 4 of the Gospels again, the above statement is concerning as if you "just" be Christ like without being SAVED, non of your being Christ likeness will help you if you did not put your trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. Do not put the horse before the cart!
To me it means being a disciple of Jesus Christ
The meaning of what is a Christian ? A follower of Jesus Christ.
@Dominus Vobiscum The n/t was spoken by Jesus thru the apostles. 2nd tim 3:16-17 all scripture is by inspiration of God.
@Dominus Vobiscum A follower of Jesus Christ entails being a born again believer,and living for Him in our daily lives.
Actually as a Christian when you know if someone's religious beliefs aren't Bible based it is your job to let them know through the scriptures. After that it's their choice .

As a Catholic myself I see all people as Christians if they believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and died for our sins and Jesus is the only way to heaven. I hoped to see all of you heaven someday and pray we don’t have to go through any tribulation. God love you 🙏🙏🙏
Just asking. Not saying you're no good or don't believe in God. But if you believe Jesus is the only way to heaven, why are you in a church that is very insistent, persistent, in supposed prayers for various saints, especially Mary, to in turn pray to God?? I prefer to go directly to the source like our only Christ taught. I don't believe in Catholicism anymore whatsoever. Yet, I really can't stand this crap, this BS of super divided Christianity.. Such as when various believers of very different Jesus Christ believing churches, keep saying so and so ain't Christian. When instead of teaching love like we ought to, so called Christians are teaching hate. Bashing each other's beliefs and judging each other's character with no mercy.. Instead of teaching love one another and do good to those that do you wrong. Love your enemy. What better are you when you love only those that love you? And if you salute your kin only, what do you more than others? THAT'S what Jesus taught. Hence, as much as I strongly dislike my old Roman catholic faith, I can't in good conscience say all Catholics are not Christian. I think many have not been Christian or acted like a Christian should. I know others have indeed behaved like a Christian ought to. I'm beyond positive Jesus and God forbids such a notion that a particular faith is not Christian because of how different their faith is compared to others. I ain't God and sure don't know enough about every single person of a faith to say NO they all aren't Christian at all. ONLY GOD decides and only He can judge. Fear no man but God. So don't be afraid of what very flawed man, meaning all of us, say about you being Christian or not.

That's the same analogy as asking your friends and family to pray for you, when you can just go straight to Him.
And no, we don't necessarily need Mary to get to Jesus, but she can immensely help us to get closer to Him. Of course if you're really against about it, aren't open and not fully understand why Catholics (and Orthodox, as well as others) ask for their intercession, then you would definitely accuse us of misconceptions. At that point, it's better if we stay silent until you actually and genuinely ask a practicing Catholic why we do such things.

*ME. Are you suggesting that the PHYSICAL Jesus was "GOD/Elohim" ?? No. Both Jesus and Apostle Peter tell you that the physical Jesus was a Man/Son of God that was INDWELLED by God* (at his water baptism, John 1:33-34), *and that it was GOD that indwelled Jesus that did the miracles -- Acts 10:38, John 14:10, Acts 2:22, John 10:36, Matthew 16:15-16* (Luke 1:35).
Apostle Paul explains this in the original Greek of Phil 2:6-8.

samuel honable how can you even say that it beats the whole reason why Jesus came to teach us how to be humble how to work and how to make work holy
Faith alone Saves, But the Faith that Saves is Not alone!!
Yamahall personal salvation, there is another divergence between the way of seeing the things of many evangelical groups and the doctrine. Catholic For them it’s enough to just have faith in Christ; for us, faith in Christ is not enough to be saved. A life is needed in conformity with the teaching of Christ (Lk 6,46). (Mt 7, 21). Actually, believing Christ means accepting his message and living it, without adding or removing anything. It is not enough to say: «I believe in Christ», to be saved. It is necessary to know your will and accept it as it is. How is it possible that many think to save themselves, without accepting this command of Jesus? In effect, updating the Lord's Supper is an order. (Lc 22,19). same as regards the forgiveness of sins. Is it possible for one to forgive sins? "they repeat. Well, ask Jesus. He who created heaven and earth has the power to commission men to forgive sins in his name? This means to truly believe in Christ: accept ALL his message and try to live it. Otherwise it is an empty faith, which does not lead to salvation. Say: "I believe in Christ and already" is a mistake, a vain illusion, which does not lead to salvation. We must accept and obey Christ, to be saved. You do not have to choose one or the other teaching, according to your own taste, but you have to accept everything Jesus says. This is to believe in Christ.
Since Jesus IS the way, the truth, and the life, isn't that all the more reason we should be members of HIS Church, and not some man-made Protestant denomination?
"Without the way there is no going. Without the truth there is no knowing. Without the life there is no living."
--St. Thomas a Kempis
allow me to share something that a good friend and evangelist said many times. "everyone will need to climb over Jesus Christ to get into hell"
I, as a practicing Catholic, found much misinformation about Catholics presented in this "Are Catholics Considered Christians and What are the Differences in Beliefs?" video by Allen Parr.
(1:58) #1. Our View on How a Person Gets to Heaven (Protestants say "Faith alone". Catholics practice "Faith and Works").
Allen Parr incorrectly states that those "works" are the Catholic seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Annointing of the Sick) that Catholics must do in addition to having Faith in order to get to Heaven. Catholics believe that in addition to having Faith you must put that Faith into action, hence the "works". It's the difference between telling a hungry person that you have Faith that they will find food to eat (Protestant) verses telling a hungry person that you have Faith that they will find food to eat and then giving them food to eat (Catholic).
(2:53) #2. Our Views on the Authority of the Bible (Protestants say their 66-book Bible is the final authority on Faith and Practice. Catholics use both the Bible and the Catholic tradition teachings). Allen Parr is correct that when Catholics have disagreements on how to interpret the Bible it is the Pope who has the final and authoritative word. Without the Pope acting as a referee of sorts with the final say then Catholics would have multiple Catholic sub-groups each with their own interpretation of the Bible, which is what Protestantism is. Also, Allen Par incorrectly states that the Catholic Bible has 14 "extra" books over the Protestant Bible. It was the Catholic church that compiled the Bible and when Martin Luther protested away from the Catholic church he removed books from the Bible (and he wanted to remove more books, such as Revelation).
(4:16) #3. Our View on How a Person Should Approach God (Protestants say they don't have to go through anyone to get through God. Catholics must confess sins to a priest who then passes it to God and then Catholics must pray to Mary to elevate her to the same level as Jesus, which is wrong because Mary was a sinful woman who happened to be chosen to be the mother of Jesus).
Allen Par's understanding of Catholicism is wrong here. When Catholics confess sins to a Catholic priest the priest is representing the Catholic church and the confession goes directly to God. The priest's role during confessions is to hear the confession, offer counseling, and then to absolve the confessed sins as a representative of the Catholic church. Allen Par incorrectly states that Catholics pray to Mary to elevate her to the same level as Jesus. Catholics ask Mary to "pray for us sinners now" the way you ask a friend to pray for you. Also, unlike what Allen Par states that Mary was a sinful woman, Catholics believe that Mary was born free from original sin through the Immaculate Conception.
(6:15) #4. Our View on Life After Death - Purgatory (Protestants don't believe in Purgatory. Catholics believe in Purgatory).
Allen Par is correct that Catholics believe that some people must first go through Purgatory to be purged of sins before going to heaven or to the presence of God. Purgatory only applies to people who die in God's grace and friendship but are still imperfectly purified (for example, the person was a practicing Catholic who died before going to confession). Purgatory does not apply to evil people who are destined for Hell.
(6:36) #5. Prayers for the Dead (Catholics pray for the dead in hopes that the prayers will help boost a dead person to be with God who otherwise wouldn't be able to).
Allen Par, praying for the dead is something both Catholics and non-Catholics do.
(6:55) #6. Prayers to the Dead (Catholics don't pray only to Jesus, they also pray to Mary and the Saints).
Allen Par is correct. When Catholics pray to Mary and to the Saints, it is not to worship Mary and the Saints or to elevate them on the same level as Jesus, it's to ask Mary and the Saints to pray for them the same way you ask a friend or a Protestant pastor to pray for you or to say a prayer for a family member.
(7:06) #7. Transubstantiation (When Catholics take communion by eating the bread and drinking they wine, they believe the bread and wine transforms into Jesus' actual body and blood).
Allen Par states that for Protestants the eating of bread and drinking of wine during communion is consuming Jesus' body and blood symbolically, while Catholics believe they are consuming Jesus' actual body and blood. Allen Par is correct about what Catholics believe about Transubstantiation. He then displays the following scripture quote taken from John 6:56 (New Living Translation Bible) "Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him." The quoted scripture line doesn't say "Anyone who SYMBOLICALLY eats my flesh and drinks my blood..."
(7:44) Allen Par restates the original question "Are Catholics Christians?" and then says that it's not his job, or anyone else's job, to say who is a Christian or not. Because of this I'll answer the the question as follows: All Catholics are Christians. Not all Christians are Catholics.

1) Tobit
2) Judith
3) Maccabees 1
4) Maccabees 2
5) Wisdom of Solomon
6) Sirach
7) Baruch
he probably confused the number of books from the septuagint with the books from the apocrypha
the catholics left out a bunch of books from the septuagint when they compiled the deuterocanon, the ones that didnt address protestant claims
Perhaps he should get his facts straight before making such claims. Also the catholic bible was the first bible canonized.
The Septuagint was used extensively in the Near East by rabbis, and in the first century the apostles quoted prophecies from it in the books that became the New Testament. It was accepted as authoritative by the Jews of Alexandria and then by all Jews in Greek-speaking countries. Luther eliminated books because they held beliefs he didn't believe in.

Akmal Khan What in particular would you like help with?
I’m Catholic and I’ve never believed that you had to do the 7 steps to get to heaven. It’s God’s decision. I believe ppl have to have a relationship with God, try to sin less, and repent sins to get to heaven, no matter which religion they are. My church also doesn’t believe that only confession will give you forgiveness, it’s just a way to confess your sins to God. But you can also pray to God for forgiveness. Also, about the bread and blood... in my experience whenever I go up to receive communion, I feel the presence of Christ. It’s a warm, loving, amazing feeling that makes ppl cry tears of joy. I’ve seen ppl faint in my church, multiple times from being blessed while the Eucharist was exposed. Also, there was a case in Italy where the Eucharist literally turned into real flesh and blood and spelt over the altar in front of everyone attending that mass. It was documented a miracle. I’m not saying my religion is right, yours is wrong. I believe if you’re a believer and you love God, then that’s the way ❤️. I’m just saying my experiences within my church. God bless everyone.
It is sad to say that you elevate or value your experience and religion than what the Bible truly said about being a Christian. The true foundation of Christianity rests on the Scriptures (II Timothy 3:16), not on a specific religion nor experience. That said, it makes genuine Christianity apart and unpopular
Graeme Fajardo I totally agree. When did I ever say my faith was based on experience? My faith is based on my relationship with Christ and my knowledge of faith is based on scriptures. I was just sharing some of my experiences in the Catholic Church. When did I ever say faith was based on a specific religion? You rebuttal things I’ve never said nor do I believe. Reread my comment for a better understanding. No hate here fellow Christain ❤️.
"My religion is right. Yours is wrong."
"In my experience....miracle"
Sounds rather experiential than Biblical
Graeme Fajardo omg! I honestly meant to say I’m NOT saying my religion is right, yours is wrong. I’m so glad you mentioned that, I just fixed it! Now I see why you interpreted it the way you did lol. I don’t think any religion is all 100% right. I believe if your religion brings you closer to Christ, then you’re in the right religion.
Actually ultimately it your life that decides weather you go to heaven. Your life will either be against you at judgment day or be supporting u In judgment day
Anyone who believes in Christ as their Messiah and saviour and anyone who is born again and follows Jesus with their heart and life is a Christian .
Anyone who Accepts the Covenet of Christ and live it daily is a child of God
jecos we are not saved by our works. Don't say that
To Mario What the heck you talking about? I never anything about "WORKS"! At the last supper Christ gave us a new COVENT and that is obey Christ commands and the 2 main commands are to love the lord your God and and to love thy neighbour as yourself
Yeah but you just said do that or "live it daily" in order to be saved. That's heresy. We are not saved by daily doing something
At Mario Jesus said to take up your cross daily
All I see when I read all the comments is spiritual pride. And after watching your video had to check myself because I felt the passions of my beliefs stirring to a combating point. We should not ask ourselves who is right but what is right and do that. May Jesus keep us all humble so that our pride doesn't trip us up. God bless you my friends.🙏
I literally didn’t know this was a debate? I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and in the father and son and the Holy Spirit, how could possibly not be Christian?
I think he was just clarifying the differences even though we do have many similarities.
@@helendesta8724 The Church teaches salvation with faith alone though and works through the Holy Spirit are taught as crucial in the sanctification process. Also the Eucharist is Biblical from my understanding. 1 Cor 11:27.
@@johne2815 Yeah that's true and all but the video highlighted the differences between protestants and catholics, things like purgatory, saints, and even the works that you just mentioned.
Mara L exactly
Helen Desta mmm
You are very good to explain the simplicity of the word of God. Thank you, God bless
@Dominus Vobiscum The only authority is the Lord Himself, don't loose your time to wrote something for nothing.
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational
churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church
was even started.
---------------------
(2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals
believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance
is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is
even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide
to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept"
is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not
found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse).
--------------------------
(3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a
christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved
"wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13]
The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their
"fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people
(in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and
then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher
says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who
is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and
it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot.
-----------------------------
(4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines
would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom".
In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption
before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic
church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches
(like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can
become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter
call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by
(e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc,
----------------------------------
(5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a
heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all
"Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches.
-------------------------------------
All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that
MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was
known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church)
and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers)
------------------------------------
However, there are TWO important facts to consider:
(a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep)
who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to
EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end,
there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth.
(b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and
are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND
these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine
"closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10]
AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the
fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33]
AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]

As a student of church history, theology and practicing Lutheran, I feel like there's some pretty inaccurate info in here, including the idea that there was one church until Martin Luther and John Calvin came along (there was an entire period called the Great Schism in the 11th Century - 500 years before the Protestant Reformation), and the idea that the 66 books of the Bible are the ONLY divinely inspired books (those texts - manyof which the authorship is presumed but unknown). The Council of Nicea was - quite literally - called by Emperor Constantine as an editorial board to elect by debate which books would be included in canon in order to coalesce HUNDREDS of competing ecumenical doctrines into a single religion common throughout the Roman Empire. The apocrypha are not considered holy texts, per se, but they are used to help interpret the canonical books. The best evidence that the Bible is subject to interpretation is the fact that even today we have any number of English translations - from the KJV to the NIV, and many others. Not to mention Vatican II's official break with any kind of "salvation by works" theology. The modern Roman Catholic Church has accepted salvation by grace, but still holds good works as the duty of every Catholic.
As a mainstream Protestant, the thing I think is most important in whether we can say somebody shares our Christian beliefs is (i) belief in the trinitarian nature of God, (ii) following therefrom, belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, (iii) belief in salvation through grace/faith. Aftsr thise three things, it's all cupcakes and we're really just arguing over whether chocolate or rainbow sprinkles are better. Which is - quite frankly - a silly argument to have. I feel as at home spiritually in a Catholoc service or a Baptist service as I do in my home church because - ultimately - those three things are the only things that are important in this debate. You're highlighting differences in religion, while the most important thing is a shared faith. Whether a person believes in transubstantiation or participates in the Eucharist at all is a matter of religion alone; which has its roots in Greek meaning an action. Those are just differences in EXPRESSIONS of faith; not in the faith itself.
Catholics do not call or consider the books apocryphal because they aren't. They are rightly called deutoricanical. Apoc in the Greek is hidden or unknown which the Deutoricanical books are not. Those books were in the Protestant KJV1611. Protestants should figure out when and why they were taken out. I'm not Catholic and can tell you that.
Are you sure? Given the dating of The Codex Vaticanus, we can see that the Bible was already completed and thus, closed canon. The Council of Nicaea happened after, in which the debate was over correct doctrine based on the Bible.
Thank you for your response, Tyler. The Questioning of the Christanity of Catholics (both east and west) seems strange - as they are the original Christians. As a Catholic, however, it would never cross my mind to ever question the Christianity of any trinitarian Protestant. I feel that both Catholics and (trinitarian) Protestants are unitied at least in our basic core beliefs.
@@ufo645 No, they were not the original Christians. If you want to know who the originals were and the firs time the word was even used read the book of Acts. Pretty sure all those men by their own admission are Jews! Paul for example says, I am an Israelite myself from the tribe of Benjamin. A Pharisee among Pharisee and more zealous for the law than all of you! They don't call themselves Christian or Catholic for that matter.

Thank you Jesus
Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip
2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.

You seem very sincere and I really enjoy your videos.

@Logan D. Glad you got it out your system. Well done.
As a Catholic, I can say that there are a number of incorrect assumptions in here. For example, while we do have the hail Mary, or prayers referencing other saints, to day that Catholics believe that Mary or any other saint is at the same level as Jesus is incorrect. These are prayers for there intercession on our behalf. " Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death" is very different from "forgive us our sins". Saints are examples of what it means to live an exemplary life and now live eternally with Jesus, so we all for their guidance, but Jesus alone is our savior and salvation.
There are a number of things that the initial statement was fact, but then the follow up assumption was not quite right. It's an interesting conversation that it would be nice to see a priest on this channel having a dialogue on the differences and similarities, and they can ask each other questions, etc

Are you going to follow the heresies of Rome or are you going to follow the Apostle/Original Church ?? Can't follow BOTH cuz they contradict/oppose each other.

When you believed in Him, you become a follower, and when you become a follower, you also become Jesus to everyone by showing love, service, respect, kindness and many other Jesus wants us to share the world. While we are still in this earth, we need to do good works and by doing that, we are glorifying His name and 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. '” Matthew 25:40
I'm a Roman Catholic and I always believed that I'm a Christian, at first, I don't know why this debate is a thing lol
A US thing
Indeed totally agree with you, Felicia.
@Mara L yes but apparently in the US some catholics don't call themselves Christians because Christians = protestant and vice versa
@Mara L : Christ-ian : Essentially means being a BELIEVER & FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ. However Catholics & Protestants have Different views on Grace & Salvation when it comes to their Christian Faith. As a Christian I don't Believe in 'Religion'..I Believe in having a 'Personal relationship' in Jesus Christ.
@Mara L : Religion is a
'Man-made' concept that explains a Human Belief system. As a 'Christ-ian' I Believe that Jesus is God in Flesh that Walked among us on Earth as Human beings that Died on the Cross for our Sins so that We could be Saved from God's Wrath. In having a 'Personal relationship' & Personal Experiences with Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer we don't need a Man-made concept or 'Religion' to do so. The 'Roman Catholic Church' was Roman Rulership & society normalizing and Ordaining Christianity as the Primary basis of their Belief-system and giving it a Religious title. Hope my explanation helps.
#GodBless
I am a Catholic Christian.
Saved by the shed Blood of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The early Christians did not have the Written Word for at least three hundred years after Christ's crucifixion. The Holy Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine transubstaniated through the hands of the Priest but through the power of the Holy Spirit
How were you saved? Do you believe that you can lose your salvation? Do you believe that if you do not do certain works that you will not be saved? We are saved by grace through faith. Has nothing to do with us. Believe and call on the Lord Jesus. Build that relationship with Him and stop praying to or through dead people. Jesus never said to pray to His earthly mother. Why would we need to? Jesus desires to have a relationship with us and He is a jealous God. He does not want you praying to anyone but Him. The Bible makes that quite clear.
@@JoshB913 I am a Catholic. I was born again the bible way though baptism (Jn 3:5). i can lose my salvation if i do not persevere to the end (Mt 24:13). I believe that i will not be saved if i fail to do good works (Mt 25:31-46, James 2:24). The Saints are not dead in Gods eyes (Luke 20:37-38) and we are to pray for each other (1Tim 2:1-4), if an act is acceptable for the church militant on earth, why would it be unacceptable for the church triumphant in heaven? Just want to spread some biblical truths.
Deus benedicat.
@@JoshB913The Bible teaches that we are saved by faith and works.
Of course we can lose our salvation if we turn against God.
@@johnsteila6049 No it doesn’t. If you have faith you will have works. It’s not in any way saying that your works save you at all. That is the “free gift of God lest anyone should boast.” It clearly says it. There is no example of someone coming to salvation and losing it. Judas never had it. The Bible made that clear. In revelation Jesus tells those who were never born again to “depart from me for I never knew you.” He doesn’t say, “I once knew you, but now I don’t, depart from me.” You are adding to the Bible and don’t even realize it.
@@JoshB913 I didn’t say that works alone can save us.
Matt 19:16
16 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. lf you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
Phil 2:12
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure."
Judas witnessed Jesus work miracles with his own eyes. You have no right to judge him. He had faith but in the end, was lost.
Luther added to Paul’s Epistle in Romans to make his case that we are saved by faith “alone”.
I’m here to support what The Bible says. You are defending heresy.
This is a great video and I am glad you addressed this subject with boldness. Keep up the great work!!
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational
churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church
was even started.
---------------------
(2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals
believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance
is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is
even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide
to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept"
is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not
found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse).
--------------------------
(3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a
christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved
"wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13]
The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their
"fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people
(in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and
then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher
says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who
is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and
it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot.
-----------------------------
(4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines
would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom".
In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption
before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic
church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches
(like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can
become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter
call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by
(e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc,
----------------------------------
(5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a
heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all
"Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches.
-------------------------------------
All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that
MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was
known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church)
and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers)
------------------------------------
However, there are TWO important facts to consider:
(a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep)
who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to
EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end,
there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth.
(b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and
are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND
these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine
"closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10]
AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the
fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33]
AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]
---------------------------------------

Don't confuse boldness with ignorant arrogance.
I love your takes on this, as I'm a catholic myself. What I believe is that each one of us have different ways of worshipping the One True God, which led to different Christian denominations to show. In the end it shows that all of us should refer to the Word of God as basis and foundation in every thing that we do.
YOU: What I believe is that each one of us have different ways of worshipping the One True God, which led to different Christian denominations to show.
*ME: The different denominations are based in the intentional or un-intentional false interpretation of the original Greek Biblical text -- Acts 20:29-30, etc*
And there is only ONE way to worship GOD -- and that is by the Spirit -- John 4:24 -- not by what you physically do.
@@veritasmuy2407 Then what denomination has the true interpretation?
@@samuelkruse2434 NONE. Both Peter and Paul warn you that PHYSICAL church leadership will be corrupted wolves teaching false doctrines -- *and this heresy would start as soon as the Apostles were gone, by the very men that the Apostles taught -- see Acts 20:29-30, 2Peter 2:1-3, etc*
All PHYSICAL churches are corrupted -- GOD's true ekklesia/congregation/church is SPIRITUAL (1Peter 2:5-7), comprised of Believers that are indwelled by the Holy SPIRIT (1Corinth 12:12-14, etc).
THAT is why Jesus and John instructed Believers to NOT believe that God's infallible spiritual truth comes from some sinful man on earth -- Matthew 23:9, 1John 2:27 -- God's Truth comes only directly from GOD/Holy Spirit that indwells you.
Stop thinking "denominations" and just study Scripture for yourself, asking the Holy Spirit to teach you Truth -- then as you attend different denominations, YOU will know which ones are teaching lies/falsehoods -- then you leave and try another..... I can tell you from experience, ALL physical denominations are corrupted by greedy wolves in the pulpits who desperately want power over God's people just like the Pharisees (Matthew 23). Your first clue should be if the Pastor had invented the false tradition that the "pastor" is the boss of the church -- that HE is the one in control of decisions for the church -- that false traditions follows the evil of the Roman popes' authority (Matthew 20:25-26), and contradicts 1Corinth 12 and 1Peter 5:3..

It's so true abt baptism, hence we still go through catechism, at an intended age, at our parents' urging, not through any will of our own sadly. I was baptized, took catechism, and still didn't really come to Christ till my 30's. Sad but true. Not enough emphasis was placed on my spiritual education. Still baptized my kids, but not resting on that to save them. They will know the Bible twelve ways to Sunday better than I did when graduating high school, and they will understand why. Praise God!!

Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip
2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.
@Asaph Vapor It has been God's policy to teach His laws to obey them for obedience is a manifestation of love for God. He said, "...if you earnestly OBEY My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God" (Deut. 11:13). If anyone does not obey, "and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD..." (Deut. 11:28). Apostle John taught, "For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS (I John 5:3). The Lord Jesus also taught, "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me" (John 14:21). So, He commanded to enter in Him to be saved (John 10:9). Entering in Him is by entering the flock (John 10:16) which is His Church (Matt. 16:18; Acts 20:28) - the Church Of Christ or IGLESIA NI CRISTO in Filipino. In this Church, you will learn God's pure gospel because a messenger of God was sent to preach His message. Thank you and God bless.
I’m a catholic and I never heard of anyone thinking Mary is at the same level of Jesus? We think she’s important, yes (I mean, you gotta have something different from the other regular people to be picked by God to have his son, no? Cmon now, I doubt he picked her name out of a hat or something lol), but she does not interfere with the holy trinity in any way? Also, about believing in the traditions of the church and the pope, the traditions come from the Bible? The Vatican is the institutionalization of the religion, meaning they simply make it uniform. If you go a Catholic Church in one state, you’ll hear the same thing in another one from another state, unlike in Protestant churches. The interpretations of the Bible can change quite a lot among pastors. The thing about “praying for the dead” sounded weird, ngl. Saints are notable people who lead good lives and did good, to the point of doing miracles, which is something a lot of regular televangelists claim to do? When we “praise” them, it’s about wanting to be like them, being inspired by them (like Mary). They’re not idols. Some people can take it to extremes, but that’s incorrect. And the wine and bread thing... Idk about that one, but I’ve always seen it as symbols as well?
I agree with what your saying. We should give honor to the Saints and Mary. And I do encounter some people who have a problem with respecting people. But we shouldn't bow down to them and have pictures of them when that goes against the Second Commandment. And that's coming from an Orthodox who is reborn.

Seriously guys, I'm not trying to "own" anyone or put anyone down, but you should really check what the Catechism says and also check out Catholic Answers. You can get a better understanding of the Catholic Faith in both of those resources. As for the original question, the answer is categorically and unequivocally yes. You don't have to believe the church's doctrines or agree with us, but understand that we Catholics are by definition Christians.

On a Catholic Christian Note:
I find this post misrepresentative of us. I felt that its just very judgemental. I am sorry. Please if you want to explain Catholic faith from your own view, you might as well research what we actually believe. Use Catechism of the Catholic Church.
1) We believe that Faith is consisted of 3 Pillars (Word of God, Sacred Tradition, Church Magisterium (Authority)). When we say FAITH, what we mean is 3 Things: Believing, Trusting, Doing.
2) We also believe that we can go to God directly, but he intended that through the Apostles (and their successors) we may be healed in our wounds with the Church. You see, we see sins as not contained within the person, it affects everyone especially the Church.
3) Mary IS NEVER elevated to the same level as God. If you just take time an listen to what the words say, it came from the mouth of Angel Gabriel and St. Elizabeth through the Power of the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42, and Jame 5:16.
4) Purgatory IS NOT forgiveness of sins. It is the remission of the punishment of sins already forgiven. What we mean by punishments are the wounds that we earn by them that makes us imperfect. We believe that we are cleansed and made perfect through the sacrifice and blood of Christ on the cross; we call this state of cleansing “Purgatory”. We could recall 1 Corinthians 3:15 that people could be saved but though they went through fire.
5) The Catholic Church together with the Orthodox Church compiled the Bible (the oldest complete of which are Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus.
I pray that you may be forgiven for your transgression on us. I personally forgiven you.
May the Most Blessed Mary guide you towards her Son, Our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In a sense, he didn’t really explained “anything” about us.
He explained “what he think about us”, but not “what us is”.
If it is a humble opinion but not a fact, it loses credibility in matters of fair representation.
We might as well preach it for what it is then, an argument based on personal anecdotes.
Let us not be blind-sighted by our prejudices and give some each some forbearance.

Purgatory is not real
"This is my body" not this is a symbol of my body. Just FYI, there are many protestants who believe in the literal meaning. Not just Catholics.
Personally, whoever believes Jesus as the son of God, died for our sins, rose from the dead and will return; is a Christian in my eyes.
@Feedthe5000 those were times of hyperbole. And John 6. Was not. It is not a symbol. If it wasn’t a symbol then Paul would not have to mention to not take of the cup unworthy or in sin. If it’s only a symbol then non-Christians could take it too.
@Feedthe5000 it’s either one and no it dosent determine it but Jesus did double down that it IS HIM. Lastly Jesus also let the ones who left him over that teaching leave. He never clarified. He didn’t say oh wait JK! He let them go and even asks does this offend you?
Look up the Eucharist miracles. They are authentic. And every one is same blood type AB+
I agree, anything else is just people trying to bring division
It's called "metaphor"
I'm proud of being born, raised and now growing ever gracefully as a Catholic. Halleluiah
I'm proud of my Lord Jesus Christ! 🙌

never pray to Mary!
Catholicism is not correct.
@@j.johnson8360 the immaculate conception is false.
@G C mary is a sinner saved by grace. stop praying to her, pray to Jesus.
What an excellent answer. It’s up to God if a person is a believer. All we need to do is spread the gospel, love Jesus & love others. Thank you Allen. Great videos. 😊🙏 Blessings.
No you cannot spread the actual Gospel unless you know it and can define it.
Preach it brotger Allen
I agree with you my sister regardless of if your catholic or protestant or orthodox, it is indeed and biblically up to god if a person is a believer regardless if you're from a different christian denomination except non-trinitarian
You're a lot kinder to Catholics than I was as a protestant. Thanks for sharing your caring heart.
"was"?
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational
churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church
was even started.
---------------------
(2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals
believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance
is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is
even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide
to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept"
is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not
found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse).
--------------------------
(3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a
christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved
"wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13]
The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their
"fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people
(in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and
then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher
says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who
is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and
it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot.
-----------------------------
(4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines
would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom".
In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption
before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic
church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches
(like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can
become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter
call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by
(e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc,
----------------------------------
(5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a
heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all
"Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches.
-------------------------------------
All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that
MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was
known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church)
and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers)
------------------------------------
However, there are TWO important facts to consider:
(a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep)
who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to
EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end,
there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth.
(b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and
are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND
these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine
"closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10]
AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the
fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33]
AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]
---------------------------------------

Hello Peter I hope you are well. You say you were not kind to Catholics. I was just hoping you could explain to me why you would be unkind to Catholics?
Are Christian just professing faith in Christ? NO! Christ said, "NOT everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT he who DOES the WILL of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 7:21). This is the problem for many - OBEDIENCE to the commandments. When one is told to obey, he or she reacts "NO, don't tell me what to do, I'm a christian anyway. This and that what I want to do." Christ is best example of obedience. He obeyed to point of death (Philip
2:5-8). So we must follow what He says and don't just believe. STUDY WITH US IN THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO OR CHURCH OF CHRIST to know the will of God that should be obeyed to enter the kingdom of heaven. Thank you.

I was taught in a private school at age 13 that Catholics were not Christians, informed that the group I had entered at 11 was protestant, and that, therefore, I was protestant. I had been in the j.w. cult from infancy till grade 3, and taught that Christians were heathens and were earmarked by "jehovah" for annihilation. I was an agnostic from age 8 till 11.
At about age 14, I was taught by seventh day adventists that Catholics are antichrist and told historical lies that there was a different church for 2000 years whose saints the Catholics killed for as long as Catholics have existed. They were represented as though they did everything the muslims have actually done to Catholics.
When I fasted and prayed, I'd often start to hear the HOLY SPIRIT defend the Catholic Church and would tell myself that I had something blocking me from hearing GOD correctly. Eventually, while writing a book against the Catholic Church, I had a miraculous change of heart that immediately put all my years of research into proper perspective, and I sought to become a Catholic, but it was 5 years, because I didn't know how to tell my mother and siblings who had been going through the same thing as me. We all converted together. They had been afraid I'd reject them if they became Catholic.
Luke 23:43 Jesus told the criminal who was being crucified next to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." No works possible there.
This was prior to Pentecost and the establishment of Christ's Church on earth.
The man repented. That is a good work.
He repented and verbally defended Jesus from the other criminal. He committed a great work.
@Moeshalos well done.
He was suffering on a cross.
I am a protestant Christian and love Catholics, I do not get caught up in doctrinal differences.
Thanks so much for this video Pastor Allen.
Why christening? Traditionally, parents held a christening for their new baby to mark the beginning of their upbringing in the Christian faith. It is not a baptism in the sense that an adult would have done, but this is a dedication to the faith-to Jesus. This is a presentation of a new life to the congregation and a time for family celebration.
St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, in the Third Century, invoked the Holy Father to do Infant Baptism, because he felt his falling away from Christ was due to his lack of Baptism. When one is unbaptized the devil has control of your soul. Infant Baptism has been in the church for 1700 years. It's Protestants who misdirected on that. Every Catholic renews their Baptismal vows once per year during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Protestants literally undid everything Christ established. Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders and Matrimony are the Seven Sacraments of the Church. Without Baptism you cannot receive the Holy Ghost, and without Confirmation you cannot be a Soldier of Christ. Without Matrimony you will not persevere in marriage. Without the Holy Eucharist you'll be weak and unable to resist evil. Without Penance you'll stay in your sins.
mary wasnt randomly chosen lol
These evangelicals are biblically illiterate
No, she worshipped God, so she was chosen. Anyone else could've been chosen though.
She wasn’t randomly chosen
She had the qualities God wanted
From her faith to her genealogical history (that’s why it is important to read them)
But just like any other character in the Bible they were very specific
However they are no Gods
God used them and wrote their stories for the bigger purpose
But God can use anyone
@@popoff2116 Like I said, she was favored in God's eyes, but He could've used anyone else if He wanted to.
jake hedger
That’s very inappropriate language
Is that how you speak to the people you should love (according to the second greatest commandment mentioned by Jesus himself)
“But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.” (Matthew 5:22)
The word also teach us to treat others as superior (philippians 2:3)and to be kind to one another (Ephesians 4:29-32) and to use sweet words
You are sining unnecessarily
Calling us illiterate makes you a hypocrite
May the grace of God be with you and whoever agrees with that phrase
God is watching you at all moments always remember that
It’s really hard to correct a christian who lack biblical knowledge
Make sure your statements are backed up by God
That was SO WELL DONE! Great job with all you said. Thanks.
This video get's almost nothing right about Catholicism. Catholics DO NOT believe in Faith + Works. We DO NOT worship Mary. We DO NOT believe the Hail Mary must be said to forgive sins. He didn't even get his history and the inclusion of the Orthodox/the great Schism right.
He also says we have these other things that get in the way of Jesus. My wife converted from evangelical Christianity because she "wanted more Jesus." Catholics are 100% about Jesus and we believe we have WAY MORE OF JESUS than the Protestants.
I will pray for you and I hope one day you will meet Jesus more truly and more fully in His Church. I'd recommend Trent Horn and Pints with Aquinas as starters, they really helped us. God bless!

No religion died on the cross! And, do your research, God used religion to kill Jesus!
I was with you at the beginning and also appreciated that you appeared to put the facts out there and allow people to see the differences. My issue is that you had to use multiple "versions" of the Bible to cite solitary versus to "prove" your point but didn't do the same for the Catholic teaching. I suspect if you also used the passages that Catholics use for there teaching would be detrimental to your agenda. It would have been more difficult to completely miss the mark on Catholic teaching. I get it.. There's no way to share the true teaching of Catholicism and push your message.
I'm not trying to argue or convert anyone. Just challenge people to learn the true reason of other people's faith before comparing it anything else. Looking for a level playing field in analysis, that's all.
I will answer the question you didn't. To be a Christian is to follow Christ. So if Christ and the Trinity is the one true God, then you are a Christian. Let's not stoke division.
Those are indeed foundational beliefs but you must believe the Bible in its entirety. Not adding on required actions or additional writings. Salvation is through faith alone, not works.
Catholics seem to be more like pharisees than Christians. Christ was all about humility and made it clear that earthly possessions are a waste yet catholic buildings are some of the most expensive buildings per sqft. Also, catholics still believe you need to confess to a man but Jesus made it clear that He is the way to God. Also, there should be no other Gods so why do catholics pray to everyone under the sun?
"You didn't use different versions of the Bible to support Catholicism"
The Catholic Church uses their own Bible, using different versions used by Protestants would mean nothing.
@@chanting_germ. The Catholic Church did not write the Bible whatsoever, merely compiling a collection of Books does not make you the author of those Books. The Catholic Church is not even the first entity to compile the Books of the Bible into a single collection.
326. Athanasius, bishop at Alexandria, mentions all of the New Testament books.
315-386. Cyril, bishop at Jerusalem, gives a list of all New Testament books except Revelation.
270. Eusebius, bishop at Caesarea, called the Father of ecclesiastical history, gives an account of the persecution of Emperor Diocletian whose edict required that all churches be destroyed and the Scriptures burned. He lists all the books of the New Testament. He was commissioned by Constantine to have transcribed fifty copies of the Bible for use of the churches of Constantinople.
185-254. Origen, born at Alexandria, names all the books of both the Old and New Testaments.
165-220. Clement, of Alexandria, names all the books of the New Testament except Philemon, James, 2 Peter and 3 John. In addition we are told by Eusebius, who had the works of Clement, that he gave explanations and quotations from all the canonical books.
160-240. Turtullian, contemporary of Origen and Clement, mentions all the New Testament books except 2 Peter, James and 2 John.
135-200. Irenaeus, quoted from all New Testament books except Philemon, Jude, James and 3 John.
100-147. Justin Martyr, mentions the Gospels as being four in number and quotes from them and some of the epistles of Paul and Revelation.
Besides the above, the early church fathers have handed down in their writings quotations from all the New Testament books so much so that it is said that the entire New Testament can be reproduced from their writings alone.
How does one follow Christ saying the rosary to Mary, and praying to saints, Christ never did that. How can one work their way to heaven when Christ tells us it is by faith?
Just started watching. Love your videos.. amazing job.
May God continue to bless you!!
One thing conveniently left out was that the reformation also occured WITHIN the catholic church at EXACTLY the same time that Luther reformed outside. The people reforming from within were puzzled as to why he could create his own church.
Luther was also a man who embraced drunkeness and was known to be violently antisemetic (writing some of the worst peices of antisemetic literature in history which was cited by the third reich during the holocaust), he was also known to violently opress his followers who didn't agree with HIS interpretation of the bible despite his cause promoting self determination in interperating the scriptures.
I grew up a protestant and became catholic and can honestly say that a lot of this was covered up and we were told that he was a very honourable man. Seeing as the catholic church has unbroken lines to Peter, I am much more confident in the legitimacy of the catholic churches foundation over that of the protestant church in which I have highlighted.
The funny thing is too is that a lot of these mega churches are conducting themselves in very similar ways to that of the clergy to which Luther was protesting in that donations are seen as a form of penence, which subsecquently result in waelth for the church leaders who practice without the accountability which the catholic church has institutionalised.
We catholics consider protestants our fellow chrisitans, but believe that 30,000 diferent denominations isn't conjusive to being one body in christ as opposed to the catholic/universal community.
I'll close by saying that I feel closer to God now as a Roman Catholic than when I was baptist/pentacostal.
youre such a hypocrite
catholics are constantly going "who cares if the catholic church committed genocide, doesnt mean catholicism is wrong"
and yet here you are dismissing protestantism on the basis that luther is a horrible person (he is a horrible person I don't disbelieve that)
catholics also have no problem rubbing the whole "there are 100 denominations" thing in protestants faces, but suddenly when it gives you the opportunity to bash protestants suddenly its no longer relevant and all protestants are likeminded of luther
W response
Interesting response, though I'd argue what does a man's personal behaviors have to do with legitimacy of a message? Good or bad, Luther made points that eventually became accepted by other people with critical thinking. It was not a serious institution whatsoever, but rather people wanting to know truth over dogma. From here, it makes sense many would keep the reformation going without neccesarily following Luther (like you said, he himself insulted those who interpreted things differently, which confirms that there were protestants who disagreed with some of his statements)
I agree my brother even though i'm not catholic but raised assemblies of god (but actually practicing & believing Non-denominational Christianity), you spoke the truth because catholics, protestant and even Orthodox are indeed the real Christians.
Evangelical Christians are an embarrassment to Christianity

Wrong, there are 7 books that protestants removed. Those 7 books are in the Septuagint, which Jesus quoted from. Martin Luther removed those books and wanted to remove the books of James and Apocalypse as well.
That is not what the Septuagint is. Do you mean the book of Revelation not apocrypha? Definition of Septuagint. : a Greek version of the Jewish Scriptures redacted in the third and second centuries b.c. by Jewish scholars and adopted by Greek-speaking Christians. The Vulgate is usually credited as being the first translation of the Old Testament into Latin directly from the Hebrew Tanakh rather than from the Greek Septuagint
Not only 7 he wanted to remove 11 books but did not succeed only 7book he was able to removed like the antichristian rabi who removed the 7books
@@kfoster3616 the Apocalypse of John the Apostle and Book of Revelation is the same, just different name.
As to the LXX, this was the scriptures translated and written in Greek by the Seventy Scribes. The General Canon of the Catholic Church uses the LXX Canon. The same with the Orthodox Churches.
I meant apocrypha. I changed it.
@@kfoster3616 the apocrypha you are thinking of, is generally what Protestants consider apocryphal. However, within the Catholic Church, and even the various Orthodox Churches, these books are called Deutero-Canonical books (Second Canonical books).
If you research Martin Luther, you will learn that he wanted to remove more than the Deutero-Canonical books; the book of James was one example that was mentioned.
Hi, Allen! I appreciate the service to Christians you are working to provide. It contributes to the body of Christ. For your sake, and that of your listeners, I offer you some evidence that contradicts some of the points you make in this video or in the comments.
The church has always understood that God and our Lord Yehoshua gave it the mission of evangelizing for the purposes of leading souls into eternal life. That the church was given this commission and the authority to do so exists in many of the scriptures: Mt. 16:19, Mt. 28:16, 19-20, and so many others that are easy to find. As these and other verses show, the Lord chooses the apostles, appoints them for their work, and tells them their boundaries (essentially, they are boundless) and the resistance and opposition they will face.
The apostles knew they owned a limited time on Earth, therefore, they appointed their successors to continue what the Lord had set out for them, just as the apostles did when they added a replacement for the traitor, Judas Iscariot. Whatever commission and authority the apostles possessed is now possessed by their successors.
If the successors decided in their inspired wisdom to allow the baptism of infants via proxy, then such is permitted and does not contradict any scripture. That baptism is part of our salvation is made clear by the Word. I would reference the final chapter of Matthew again and Acts. 2:38, 40-41. Since baptism is for “the remission of sins” and a gateway to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, clearly it is an essential component of salvation; it does not happen after salvation. Can a man or woman enter heaven with unremitted sin? Upon receiving the Word and being baptized, 3000 souls were added to the body of Christ to “save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Of course, as St. Paul warns us, salvation must be worked out with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12), knowing it is God that allows us to achieve it, but nothing by itself guarantees salvation, not even believing, because you cannot be only a hearer of the Word but a doer, James 1:23, and that takes a lifetime.
Your take on what constitutes the Canon of Scripture is, unfortunately, incorrect, however well-intended. The Canon of the Church, what today you call the Catholic Church, was set around A.D. 400. You might not like to hear this, but it was the Protestants who rebelled that created new traditions and set up a different canon. The principle that Christians should make sure no human tradition interferes with God’s Word is one with which we can all agree, however, it would be naive to think the Protestant churches have no traditions of their own that they’ve incorporated into their church life. One of the reasons there are so many fractured denominations in Protestantism is they all have different traditions and ideas about church practices and what God’s Word means. I’m probably not doing justice to the Catholic notion of Tradition, which does not have the same meaning as the common word, “tradition,” but I wanted to take a different tack. I would suggest to you that it is inaccurate to say the Apocrypha contradicts other parts of what you consider the canon of scripture. Rather, it contradicts the theological interpretations that various Protestant thinkers have superimposed on the Word of God.
There are other points where I felt you expounded incorrectly, but I will confine my thoughts to two.
You should take greater care than to say that “Mary was just a sinful woman just like you and I.”
Firstly, that statement is not scriptural. Nowhere does the scripture say that Mary was a sinful woman. Quite the contrary, the scripture states that Mary was “full of grace” or “highly favored”, that she “has found favor with God,” (Strong’s Concordance calls it “indued with special honor”), pronouncements of the angel called Gabriel, who vouched for his testimony when he asserted, “I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God.” Have you asked yourself whom Jesus got his blood from, without the shedding of which there is no forgiveness of sins? Did Jesus get his blood from his Father or his mother? It cannot be the Father, because He is spirit, and all who worship him must worship in spirit. Jesus is of the lineage, the bloodline, of David. Jesus must have David’s blood him, for he is the eternal King of Jacob. What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! And from whence does Jesus get his human blood? He gets it from his mother. That is why the Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception is so necessary and so powerfully true. God extends his grace miraculously to Mary so that Jesus is conceived in perfection. Mary is no goddess to be worshiped, but she is the new, spiritual Eve, God is with her and was literally in her through the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost and through Christ. There may be some Catholics who take their love of Mary too far, and that is regrettable, but some Protestants have been inexcusable in the way they have spoken of and denigrated her, not for any scriptural reasons, but to oppose and ridicule the Catholic Church because it’s the thing to do when one wants to justify his or her own mistaken belief. A Protestant has no problem asking a fellow believer to intercede for him or her with prayer to the Lord, but if a Catholic asks Mary to “pray for us now and at the hour of our death,” it becomes apostasy, heresy, heathenism, idolatry, and any other religious, ad hominem descriptor a person can think of. Shameful!
Lastly, I believe in transubstantiation. I believe it because of St. John’s gospel, the sixth chapter. It is the acceptable way the Lord has provided to eat his flesh and drink his blood to begin one’s participation in eternal life. It’s one of the ways to have Christ in you. Catholics have a tendency to formulate complex philosophical statements to explain the Words and events of scripture, so I get it that it’s not easy to understand or accept. It’s like the doctrine of the Trinity, which I believe you do accept. I have never heard a clear explanation for three in one. The idea seems beyond human articulation. Yet Sacred Scripture says the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We baptize in their names, so they must be one and the same yet… distinct. Why do the Hebrews say, “The LORD our God is one LORD?” (Deut. 6:4). It’s fascinating to note that the term translated as “God” is actually the plural.
God bless you in the name of Jesus!
YOU: The apostles knew they owned a limited time on Earth, therefore, they appointed their successors to continue what the Lord had set out for them, just as the apostles did when they added a replacement for the traitor, Judas Iscariot.
*ME: The 120 disciples voting on the replacement of Judas in Acts 1, does not mean that the Apostles got to appoint their own successors -- you've already said that it is GOD that assigns the role of Apostle as a Holy Spirit GIFT (1Corinth 12), men in the church have nothing to do with it.* The example is Apostle Paul -- who was called by GOD, given the Holy Spirit gift of Apostle by GOD, and who started preaching immediately -- without any confirmation or appoint by men in the church -- see Acts 9.
*Besides, to be a successor of an Apostle means that the successor IS AN APOSTLE. Jesus instructed Peter to be a traveling Apostle preaching the Gospel of Savior Jesus to the lost unbelieving Jews to get them saved* (Matthew 10:5-6, Galatians 2:7-9, Luke 22:28-30, Mark 16:15-16, etc) -- *and that is what Peter did -- Acts 2, Acts 3, Acts 4, Acts 10:38-43, etc.* Soooo.... any successor of Peter's would also have to be a traveling preacher taking the Gospel to the unbelieving Jews -- the Roman popes are NOT successors of the APOSTLE Peter.
An APOSTLE is "someone sent out with a message".
An APOSTLE of Christ is a traveling preacher with the message of the Gospel of Christ.
And APOSTLE is preaching to the LOST UN-believers to get them saved (Rom 10:9-17, Rom 1:16)
And APOSTLE is not a shepherd over the Believers in the church.
APOSTLE to the unbelievers and shepherd in the church of believers are two different church offices/ministries (1Corinth 12:27-30).
YOU: Lastly, I believe in transubstantiation. I believe it because of St. John’s gospel, the sixth chapter.
*ME: FIRST:: If Jewish Jesus (Galatians 4:4) was telling the Jews to disobey GOD's command in Leviticus 17:10-11* -- never drink the blood of the sin sacrifice because the sacrificed blood is only to go on the altar for the forgiveness of sins, Hebrews 9:12,26,28 -- *and YOU are right that Jesus was telling the Jews to drink Jesus' actual sacrificed blood in John 6, then Jesus was a sinner according to Jesus himself in Matthew 5:19-20.*
*SECOND:: Jesus tells you HOW to partake of the "bread from Heaven that gives Eternal Life" in John 6:34-36 -- Jesus says to BELIEVE IN HIM, not to eat Jesus' actual flesh.* (John 6:63)
*THIRD:: Jesus says that anything that you PHYSICALLY consume, just becomes shite in the toilet -- Matthew 15:17.* What you PHYSICALLY consume can not make you evil -- and by that same token, can not make you clean/righteous.
*FOURTH:: The elements of the Passover Meal* (lamb, unleavened striped/pierced bread, bitter herbs, etc). *symbolized the suffering and death of the Jewish Messiah to defeat death -- the lamb did not magically turn into Messiah's actual flesh when the Jews ate it.* (even Jesus ate the Passover lamb)
Jesus FULFILLED the elements of the Passover Meal by his suffering and death on the wooden cross that defeated Death (Hebrews 2:14).
*Therefore, Jesus started a new Victory Meal of leavened bread and wine that would now symbolized the victory of Messiah's death/shed blood on the cross* (Hebrews 10:10,14, 2Corinth 5:21, Galatians 3:13, John 12:31-33, 1Peter 2:24, etc).
Why would Jewish Jesus and his Jewish Apostles ( that understood the Passover Meal only symbolized the Messiah's suffering/death) think that the elements of the Communion Meal did not symbolize the Messiah's suffering/death ?? When Jesus says "this is my body" its the same as the lamb of the Passover Meal also being "this is my body" -- John 1:29.
*Transubstantiation was never taught by the Original Jewish Church (Acts 15:20) -- *it is the pagan doctrine of drinking sacrificed blood which is an abomination to GOD* (Revelation 17:4-6) *that was added by the evil church leadership that came AFTER the Apostles/Original Church -- see Acts 20:29-30.*
1. Yes that is true. You cannot be lukewarm about your faith and must actively serve God in your life.
2. The Pope and the Cathechism are not on the same level as the Bible. The Bible overrides the Popes teachings in case of a corrupt Pope. For a comparison, the Bible is the supreme law of the Catholic Church as the Constitution is of the United States. And we only add 7 books, not 14.
3. Confession is not the only way to confess sins, there is also repentance, prayer (only for venial sins), and a few other ways. The priest is simply a "portal" to Jesus. He forgets (or tries to) about your sins immediatly after they are confessed and if he hasn't, he may never speak of your sins. Mary is not on the same level as Jesus, nor was she a sinful woman, as the Bible states she was without sin. She is venerated, but not worshipped.
4. This may be a disappointing one, but not everyone is ready to immediately see God.
5. Prayers for those in purgatory only help them if they accept it, and are not required to get to Heaven.
6. These prayers are simply messages to the Saints in honor of them or asking for them to pray for you. No, we do not pray to them in worship.
7. Is the bread and wine at Communion the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ? The answer is yes. It is not a symbol, nor does the scripture say that; you are indeed literally eating of Jesus' flesh and drinking of Jesus' blood.
Edit: Allen's comment: Catholics do baptise babies as it is required to receive any of the other sacraments, but does not guarantee salvation nor prevent salvation from the unbaptised.
Hi. Great job you have done here. The Eucharist used to be and sometimes is still a doubt to me as it is odd to think of eating flesh and drinking blood. And thats why some of the followers out there has left after those words - "I say onto you if you would not be eating flesh nor drinking blood of Son of Men you can't be saved". This is confusing and so that happened - guys just gone. And actually - Martin Luther did and the main Luteran Church still keeps the tradition of Holy Eucharist. May God be with You. :)
This was in John 6, 48-58. There are some interesting dynamics in these teachings out here. First Jesus says that who believes in Him has the eternal life. But then it is starting - I am the Bread Father has sent, but also that the manna was not the real bread, so He denies the food itself as being lets say holy but also He emphasise the neccesity of real consumption of his body and blood. Maybe I am not that clear in my writings.. So we in the same time have to EAT and believe in what we really eat - when we believe in what we eat (such an odd and strange and unusual idea) we have eternal life. This argument He has there with Jews is fully soaked with conceptions. It Is so dynamic and deep I cant even breathe.. :)

Asaph Vapor what? Please explain!!!!
Asaph Vapor it would appear you are contradicting yourself....
We are honoring the saints for their power, their wisdom and their skills of staying close to God and we love them because of what God has done for them! We don’t put them before God ❤️
I hope you don't put your saints before God or me or Jesus (not that you should worship Christs though). I have come across some Roman Catholics who have really disliked me even though I didn't do anything bad to them; somebody by the name of Julian Talle would be one of them.
@@bb3ll07 What I meant was I'm glad you don't put your saints before God, couldn't you deduce that.
Correct, sister. They are perfected to conform to the image of God. They therefore relate to us in a unique way that allows us to obtain special connection to God.
But you pray to marry, or don't you?

That's ridiculous question. Of course Catholics are Christians. You are like the American missionaries who came to our islands trying to Christianize the Catholics.
I actually am moving to Guam in march and I saw that you guys are very heavily Catholic over that way. That's actually why I looked this video up lol
@@boychodurendes752 it is different
I have to have this conversation with a couple people because they, my sisters are questioning why I’m not still Catholic. Pray for me that I’m able to do it clearly, lovingly, and accurately. I understand and relate to absolutely everything that you said having been raised Catholic myself, but saved by Grace alone through faith alone in Christ Jesus in my adult life.
@carlalawson6785 I too approached my parents on the same subject when I was young, so I will pray that your heart may be open to the Holy Spirit to be your guide when you speak to your family (so as to help strengthen your relationship with your sisters) and that you are not guided by the words of Mr Allen Parr. Start by seeking to understand a few things about what your family believes, so you can approach them with wisdom rather than disdain. I suggest you watch a few Catholic Answers RUclips videos, so you are clear on what your family believes. I leave you with this on Grace. The Church teaches, “Faith is Grace” and “our justification comes from the grace of God. God is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to His call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.” (CCC 1996) Praying for you.
You clearly are very misinformed on a lot of points there
Which one? Specify so we can all be informed

3. Mary was a sinful woman simply chosen- wow! Out of the billions of women throughout history and God simply and randomly had a lottery and Mary won? Although Gabriel saluted her and said she was “FULL of GRACE.....” no other person in the Bible is ever mentioned as being FULL of GRACE....smh
I could go on, but it’s not hard to google Catholic apologetics and get all the answers you want.......check out Dr Scott Hahn or Taylor Marshall (both former protestant ministers)
If so, quote God's bible passages to confirm the misinformation!
@@ragnardanneskajold1880 no what scripture does it say Mary was sinful she isn’t on the level of Jesus but as a catholic I find it disrespectful for you too trash my religion but not give me scriptures to back your claims
Also, the Jews questioned the real presence of our lord in the Eucharist 9 times. Jesus had 9 times to come out and definitively say " naw yall this is just a symbol". But actually, what he says over and over is THIS IS MY BODY, THIS IS MY BLOOD. Pretty clear that it is most definitely NOT a symbol.
it was symbolic because they had his dead body and they did not drink his blood and eat his flesh. If the apostles took literal then they would have. If they took it symbolicly then so do I.
You should study the New Testament carefully and you would know that Jesus is Not talking about cannibalism!!
For the Jews --cannibalism and especially the consumption of blood was unthinkable and an abomination! Check out the Old Testament -- that was their "bible" at the time. Jesus said many things that were not literal.
@@judiw2045 But how is it you go about discerning that this particular instance is not literal? We have scripture, where early followers of Christ showed MAJOR reservations to the principle of the "real presence of Christ" in the Eucharist and Christ was given multiple instances to say "this is not literal, Do this a symbol etc." yet he NEVER did it. He explicitly and emphatically said multiple times "this is my body, this is my blood." This is where protestants just are ignorant. Because they come from an ideology of sola scriptura, then make huge inferences, and huge mental gymnastics to perform eisegesis rather than exegesis. You can't have it both ways. I have a friend that tries to say because when we put consecrated bread under a microscope, we cannot see anything that confirms its jesus' body or flesh from a scientific standpoint that the real presence does not exist. Well Jesus says that when baptized people have a washing/renewing of the spirit that is not observable or provable by science either. Does this mean Jesus lied? If Jesus Christ is divine and has the power to perform miracles that are unobservable and provable by the human eye or science, then has the power to accomplish what he says he can. You cannot isolate different aspects and say well Jesus can do this when it pertains to Baptism, but cant do the same thing when it comes to the real presence of himself in the eucharist. Its blatant intellectual dishonestly and incoherent and inerrant reasoning.
@@seanwhitaker484 I will not continue to argue the Eucharist with you. However, you need to look at all scriptures in context of the culture of the time. Also -- you stated that Jesus never said "Do this a symbol...." Well, consider that He spoke at many times in parables. When asked, this is what He said........... Matthew 13:10-16 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Yes, I know that the Last Supper is not a parable. But consider, just for a moment, why Jesus may not have said, "Hey, this is a symbol"
Jesus Christ is the church
jesus is not coming back.
Jesus is the head of the church, and believers make part of the body.
No.. He is the head of the church. The church is the body of believers...those who have repented and put their faith in Christ.

That is ridiculous. First the REAL church (the saved wheat and sheep)
are the "Bride of Christ". Secondly, Jesus was very clear that the church
consists of unsaved tares (sown by Satan) and saved wheat/sheep
(sown by God). The field is the world - both Jew and Gentile. The
"fruit" of that field is either "wheat or tares". Both grow together
until the "harvest" where the REAL Christians are gathered to Christ
and the unsaved tares (being "children of Satan") are cast into the
eternal Lake of Fire. This is very basic and essential theology child.
Why is it "news" to you?
------------------
My husband and I've been always curious about what catholics believe. On the way back to our hotel from Jerusalem, we listened to your video and WOW nothing can be clearer than your explanation of the difference between the catholics' and Christians' faith. Thank you so much 👍
Believing that he was accurate in his biased opinion is like believing that Putin would describe US accurately and objectively. I am a catholic and everything he said about the teachings of the Catholic Church is false. Now I conclude he is not a catholic because he is fed falsehood and he is spreading it. May God have mercy on those who for views and likes and comments go about spreading lies. Because the more sensational it is the more notorious you become and make the money from the views.
You should become catholic as that is real Christianity
A Catholic *IS* a Christian.....
The problem is that he gets a lot of things completly wrong. So if you want to inform yourself about catholicism, he does you a disservice.
@@soulandsacred4009 YOU: I am a catholic and everything he said about the teachings of the Catholic Church is false
*ME: LOL. Let's see if the Roman Catholic Church teaches truth as taught by the Apostles. Apostle Paul taught that DEATH entered the world by ONE MAN/Adam (Romans 5:12), and that DEATH /Satan was defeated/crushed by ONE MAN/Jesus dying on the cross (Hebrews 2:14, Genesis 3:15).* Yet Rome teaches that Death entered the world by a WOMAN/Eve, and therefore Mary is the "new Eve" or "Co-redemptrix" (no NT verses, Acts 4:12).
*Should be believe the Apostle Paul or the Roman vatican ???*
*Besides, Eve is the "type, shadow, pattern" of the CHURCH, not Mary.*
Eve was of the BODY of the First Adam -- Genesis 2:21-22
The Church is the BODY of the Second Adam -- Colossians 1:18, 1Corinth 12
Eve was the BRIDE of the First Adam -- Genesis 2:24
The Church is the BRIDE of the Second Adam -- Ephesians 5:32
I'm glad you had this video made.
I have a big problem with people who claim to be Christians yet look down on other denominations. Are you forgetting the common ground? Are you forgetting the bigger picture? Whether or not you have a priest or a pastor isn't what makes you saved. Whether or not you attend a mass or service once doesn't make you saved. It's Jesus CHRIST. Jesus is the whole point of this.
We just made it about each other. All these differences don't matter when you see the common ground.
flattbutt believer. nicely said. I wish more shared this sentiment. For if they did, perhaps they could concentrate on loving each other in Christ and so, perhaps more of Christ could be shown to the world. That would be a wonderful thing.
I agree! It is important to look at those things we all have in common and share.
Historically, Catholics and Protestants agree that Protestantism can find its roots in Martin Luther in the early 16th Century - thus, what we know as Lutherans.
There is a statement between Protestants and Catholics that ACTUALLY STATES THOSE SHARED BELIEFS ------>
The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification by The Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church. www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html - Although a short document and well worth reading you will find much of this salvation theology as mentioned in paragraphs 5, 15, 16, 24, and 27.
I would like to thank you for uploading this video because when I read the comments of true Catholics, it gives me hope that our Catholic faith is still rooted to the true Vine, Jesus Christ and whatever false teaching your kind propagates, you find you are contradicting yourself. One thing is certain, The Day is coming when we shall stand in front of the Judge and all truth shall be revealed because we can neither deceive God or be deceived by Him.
Amen. God bless you
Why does the pope bless troops to go to war and shed blood,even killing other Catholics from other countries???? how can this church be considered universal if they kill their own kind?????????????????
Do you pray to mary and dead saints? Communication with the dead is necromancy.
Chris Israel
Jesus (and in a sense Peter since he also talked) talked to Moses and Elijah. Did He commit necromancy as a human?
Please know the definition of necromancy before you accuse us Catholics as one. God bless.

“Not Martin Luther King,”
Not Martin Luther King ! it's sad to say that Pastor Allen Parr had to mention that. Protestants don't know their own history. They hardly even know the Bible.
@@josetierra100 i mean.. that's a sweeping generalization but ok.
Looooool we know our Bible, doesn’t seem much Christian like to come for your own people. If you truly know your Bible you would know God didn’t want this. If anything Protestants actually base their life on the Bible, tradition is set aside through that we are able to see the evil concepts Christianity has introduced. I’ll pray for you, but on that note please respect, I respect you even if you think Allen parr doesnt
The people outside of Christianity see that Protestants constantly stick to the Bible’s teachings, not what a priest adds, we add or our parents add to the religion. EVERYTHING WE DO IS IN THE BIBLE so claiming we don’t know our Bible is silly. Majority of Protestants spend everyday dwelling in the word of God because that was God talking to us directly not other thing is in the place to decide for God
On Point and great analysis. Right your last statement. It's between that person & the Lord. We are not to go around deciding who is or who isn't a Christian. Lining up with the principles, teachings, beliefs etc. Of Scripture is of the utmost importance. As Saints/Believers/ Born again etc we absolutely should agree on the basic tenets of our Faith as stated in scripture; but we often get side tracked on lesser things. Rituals and traditions has, can and will side track us and cause division, but we Don't have to let these things take priority. Unfortunately many do. Good video.
Agree because the basic tenets of christianity of the two denominations, protestant and catholics is actually the utmost priority and while lesser things are not the biblical priority.
Ty bro real eye opener ❤️🙏🏾
Have you ever listened to an atheist while they make a mockery out of religion using their own misunderstandings on Christian beliefs? Well that's exactly what Allen Parr is doing in his feeble attempt to answer the question are Catholics Christian.
@@josetierra100 ok
I feel like something that is lost in other “Christian” religions is the love of God. Us Christians love God and enjoy the relationship we get to have with him, and with routine baptisms and routine communions I fear that intimacy is lost. And as for ‘judging’ the Catholics out there, we just want you to know that loving Jesus and knowing him is the way to heaven and we don’t want to get there and not see you there with us. God loves all of us we just have to return the favor faithfully.
This is why people don't go to church anymore! Too much confusion and Nit picking! I can tell you right now we are humans we are gonna make mistakes a
and churches make mistakes i always hear
our church is right
no our church is right
no their church is right Then you have these churches where they call the pastor's wife the 1st lady of the church what the heck is that?
You guys consider Nick pick argue pargue pull apart whatever I'm going by what scripture says who so ever shall believe You guys can commence with your nit picking
Catholics love Jesus very much. You see Him everywhere in our Churches. Remember all Catholics are Christian but not all Christians are Catholic.
Catholics believe in jesus
How is protestant communion any less routine? It's only less frequent.
Mass is only one aspect, in fact we have DAILY mass you can attend, plus adoration and all kinds of other stuff.
Catholic worship is very rhythmic, just like our heartbeats, and the seasons that God has set in motion. It is far from routine, mass is extremely reverent.
Furthermore we also know and love Jesus, we just believe that one should go the extra mile since through true faith, the good works will be manifest. We keep traditions so as not to become complacent in our salvation.
I think what’s missing is the understanding of what Gods love means really looks like. His love is perfect but it is measured with His perfect Justice.
So misinformed. When we pray to saints we ask them to pray for us. They themselves don't have any other power. We would never put anyone (including Mary) on the same level as God.
That is what sounds idiotic to me.Why do you even pray to them in the first place.?
Just don't.You have Jesus for you.You don't need the saints to pray for you.I say again ,You have JESUS.Don't pray to the saints when you have Jesus.He has given us the authority to ask or pray to him directly.
Stanshio Roy be consistent at least don’t ever pray another Intercessory prayer in your life
@@BuryMeInBabylon We don't pray to or for the dead.
itsmonikamaria why do Catholics pray to saints when you can just pray to god yourself like you have a direct line to god so just pray to him? never understood that about Catholics
@@spencer62321 Because God is not the god of the dead but of the living. Catholics believe saints are alive in Christ, in heaven. Also, the Bible tells us the prayers of the righteous are powerful. We are not righteous but the saints are. So we can ask them to pray for us. It is no different than asking your family member or your friend to pray for you. Revelation tells us that people are alive in heaven and they pray for us.
Thankyou fo this video❤
I see a lot of people vainly pointing fingers at each other " Oh I pray that you see the truth...Aw too bad" This is very disappointing to see brothers and sisters treating each other with such condescension.Guys this is the exact opposite of what God spoke through the Apostle Paul. That we don't argue with other believers about theological menutia, unless it's huge like denying the divinity or atonement of Jesus.
I agree. There are so many Christians who think they have it all figured out and they love casting stones at others, as if God's light has shined down on them alone. I have no patience for it.
I really am thankful that there is a comment like this here. Yes, no kingdom is strong when its people are divided. God asked - told, rather - us to be humble and respect each other. Sir Allen said something that is exactly from the Bible which is that it is God's job to separate the right and not, but it is our job as God's ambassadors to inform the other peopl about this. Unfortunately, most of them are offended and will reject us. They sometimes misinterpret it as picking a fight well in fact it is not. I still pray for ALL of God's people to set their paths in line with God. Peace to all😁
Even though the Catholic faith is the faith in which we gain the most for heaven all christains go to heaven.
exactly bruh, no denomination or anything will save you. the glorious and loving and merciful God who ALL GLORY BE TO HIM who sent his only son to come and offer us a repentance and forgiveness of our sins is what saves us. don’t care if ur protestant, catholic, baptist, presybetarian, orthodox, at the end of the day it is about the relationship with our loving God. the bible tells us not to judge, so how can we judge another persons faith? how can we know that just because they are protestant or catholic that they don’t have a relationship with Jesus? The devil wants us to argue, because the more we argue with each other, less time is spent on the people who have never heard about Jesus. ALL GLORY BE TO GOD FOREVER AND EVER, MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL WHO READ THIS AND MAY JESUS COME INTO US AND FREE US OF OUR SINS. Amen
You are right.

Just like a lot of the simplistic differences given, many were wrong. Your example points this out. Even Protestant Bible translations verified Jesus said “ this IS my body”, this IS my blood”. Jesus DID NOT say “ this bread is a symbol of my body ( and blood).
The “Bible Only” was never a Christian teaching until the past 500 years. For the first 1500 years..... Catholicism and Orthodoxy were the ONLY Christians.
Thank you Brother for being bold in the faith. This is my first time watching your teaching videos. All were spot on and Biblically referenced.
Not.
"...My sister recently went through some catholic school to become catholic or something ..."
Catholic or "something"??? That one statement shows the level of ignorance you operate from. Very sad.
I never knew people viewed catholic this way. I was born a catholic and grew up knowing christians and the other branches are the same and only differentiated in practices.
Sadly, from what i’ve seen and watched, a lot of people are more focused on the religion itself rather than the beliefs we share in. 🙂

David Ortiz my guy but did Jesus say pray to Mary?
David Ortiz no one’s denying that. But praying to Mary didn’t come until 300 A.D. You’d think something that important would be there earlier
Do you think you could do more videos like this? Like what Christians believe versus Jehovah’s witnesses, Muslims, etc.? Really benefitted from this.
Nadia Pugh I don‘t really know about the Muslin one, but comparisons with other „christian“ denominations such as Jehova‘s Witnesses, Mormons or maybe even 7th Day Adventists (in my view they often walk a very fine line between faith and heresy) would definitely be interesting.
True, I get your point about the Muslim suggestion. I just meant a comparison video to break down beliefs in general, but I totally agree.
Here's what I know about some Muslim beliefs about Jesus:
*He was announced by Jibril (Gabriel) to Miriam (Mary).
*He is born of the Virgin Mary.
*He is only a human prophet, but the mightiest of all prophets of Islam.
*He did not die on the cross nor resurrected; according to them, the world was deceived.
*He is the Al-Masi (Messiah) and will come again at the end of the world. He'll then rule for 40 years then die.
I'm a Catholic christian living in the middle east and they have pamphlets in a lot of places like malls trying to convert people to Islam.
Tim, you forgot the rest of it. Again.
"Those who through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may achieve eternal salvation."
You may be interested to know that the Church has always taught that non-Catholics can sometimes be saved and that ecumenism is a good thing.
none keep the 10 commandments proving they do not obey and worship the 1 who issued them
There is ONE religion and one only, Jesus Christ! He is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!!!!!
But Jesus is not a religion
Wel explained brother. Keep posting
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational
churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church
was even started.
---------------------
(2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals
believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance
is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is
even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide
to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept"
is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not
found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse).
--------------------------
(3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a
christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved
"wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13]
The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their
"fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people
(in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and
then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher
says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who
is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and
it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot.
-----------------------------
(4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines
would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom".
In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption
before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic
church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches
(like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can
become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter
call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by
(e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc,
----------------------------------
(5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a
heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all
"Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches.
-------------------------------------
All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that
MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was
known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church)
and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers)
------------------------------------
However, there are TWO important facts to consider:
(a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep)
who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to
EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end,
there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth.
(b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and

In the late fourth Century the Catholic Church labeled the Gnostic writings apocryphal and canonized the writings of the Apostles as scripture.
In 2021 pastor Allen Parr rewrites history and calls the deuterocanonical books from the Old Testament apocryphal. He even gets the number of books wrong. There are seven of them not 14.
If you need proof of this history, look into the Gutenberg Bible. It was printed in 1451 before the Protestant movement even began. It includes all seven, not 14 of the deuterocanonical, not apocryphal books of the Old Testament.
The scariest part of this entire issue is that the pastor can get every single bit of this wrong and people will still call him a great pastor. He loses no credibility whatsoever. This is especially scary since he is a Christian pastor.
God richly bless you 💖🌿💖🌿we really appreciate your teaching🌿💖💖💖
(1) The video's FIRST mistake is that there were individual congregational
churches growing for 300 years BEFORE the Roman Catholic church
was even started.
---------------------
(2) The video's second mistake is the preacher CLAIMS that evangelicals
believe that you are saved by grace alone - even implying that repentance
is the RESULT of your regeneration. However the PROBLEM with that is
even this preacher teaches (as most evangelicals do) that man can decide
to "accept" Christ and become saved. Of course the decision to "accept"
is clearly a "works gospel" and the doctrine of "accepting Christ" is not
found in ANY Scripture (if you disagree send chapter and verse).
--------------------------
(3) The preacher states that it is NOT the saint's job to decide who is a
christian or not. That is heresy. The church consists of BOTH saved
"wheat" sown by God and unsaved "tares" sown by Satan [Mat 13]
The Bible COMMANDS the saints to (a) identify the "tares" by their
"fruit" of bad behavior or false doctrines and (b) rebuke these people
(in case they are just an ignorant "babe" in Christ and not a tare) and
then (c) EXPEL all those who refuse to repent. So while this preacher
says that it's NOT our duty to decide who is a REAL Christian and who
is an unsaved tare of false teacher... the Bible say the OPPOSITE and
it COMMANDS us to do exactly what the preacher pretends we cannot.
-----------------------------
(4) It was always a MAJOR PART of the Bible that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church of saved "wheat" and the "leaven" of their false doctrines
would corrupt the church - and eventually the entire Christian "Kingdom".
In fact, just read Revelation chapter 2 & 3 to see the extent of this corruption
before the end of 100AD... two hundred years BEFORE the Roman Catholic
church was even started. The fact that today MOST evangelical churches
(like this video) teach some form of false "works gospel" where people can
become saved by (a) saying a sinner's prayer or (b) by making an alter
call or by (c) repenting of your sins or (d) by "accepting" Christ or by
(e) being baptized in water or (f) etc, etc,
----------------------------------
(5) So... yes the Catholic church is a "Christian" church, it is just a
heretical christian church. Just like evangelical churches are all
"Christian" churches but MOST are heretical Christian churches.
-------------------------------------
All this is the FULFILLMENT of the Gospel that unsaved "tares" would
infiltrate the church (being sown by Satan) is shown in the fact that
MOST of the evangelical churches are teaching a gospel that was
known as Semi-Pelagianism (and declared heresy by the early church)
and later known as Arminianism (declared heresy by most Reformers)
------------------------------------
However, there are TWO important facts to consider:
(a) since Pentecost there have always been real saints (wheat/sheep)
who have preached the True Gospel and followed God's command to
EXPEL unsaved "tares" from their churches - but now, at the end,
there are few real saints (saved wheat/sheep) left on the earth.
(b) there is a generation of Last Saints... the ones who never die and
are "changed" (at the resurrection) in the "twinkling of an eye. AND
these Last Saints preach Biblical mysteries which had remaine
"closed-up" and "sealed" since Daniel's time [Dan 12::4 and 12:8-10]
AND these Last Saints "shall see ALL these things", meaning the
fulfillment of ALL Great Tribulation prophecies [Mat 24:15 and 24:33]
AND these Last Saints "prophesy again" about these mysteries as the
Seventh Trumpet "begins to sound" [Rev 10:7-11]
