- Patrick Madrid, popular radio host and author of many books including "Envoy for Christ," "Does the Bible Really Say That?," and "Search and Rescue", delivered a talk titled “Why be Catholic?” at Christendom College's Encountering Christ: Apologetics & the New Evangelization 2015 Summer Conference.
Looking at the experiences in his own life, Madrid explained that apologetics involves the content and the technique in which you present it, encouraging attendees to practice apologetics at every available opportunity.
Madrid, a friend of Christendom College, was also honored with the college's Pro Deo et Patria Award for Distinguished Service to God and Country during the college's 2021 Commencement Ceremony.

I’m a Protestant and have been praying about becoming Catholic. But, I’ve been doing a lot of research. These videos have been very helpful. My wife is Catholic.
Amen brother, will pray for your journey 🙏 🙌 ❤ God bless you and your family.
Praying for you!
Wouldn't it make more sense to ask God to lead you to where you need to be to glorify and honour Him rather than you choosing a religion you don't know is right and pray about that? If you pray to God to lead you to His truth and to give you the faith you need for your salvation so that you worship Him in spirit and in truth, He will guide you through His written word, rather than you doing your own research and making a foolish decision against God's will, and for your damnation instead of salvation.
@@gerardine9675 I am a born again Christian, so I know I’m going to heaven. Therefore, there is no decision whether I choose to remain Protestant or become Catholic, that is going to “damn my soul.” There are over 45,000 Christian denominations in the world. So, which one would you say is most scripturally accurate and why? What would make you so certain of your decision? Wouldn’t it “make more sense” for a fellow Christian to pray for a person who is prayerfully considering such a decision than to make a condescending remark to them that might even drive them further away?
@@RyanGreene-lx7hh I’m praying for you my brother, be well and go in peace. Be led into all truth, nobility, love, and faith, amen, שלום!✝️
I have been catholic since birth and it’s been a generation of Catholicsm in my family

@@HAL9000-su1mz No thanks , have heard enough about the atrocities committed and still being committed .
Beautiful sharing brother in Christ. Before I got married I was a protestant. But when I went for training as nurse I have a lot of Catholic friends and I used to follow them to the Catholic church. I asked God.... lord which is the true church. I want to follow the true church....Two years after I completed my training I decided to get married . Again I asked God.... which is the true church and true Man to become my husband. Then a man from the Catholic church came to me and wanted to marry me. So I said if it is a true Man and true church I will marry him. It is your will lord and I surrender all into your mighty hands. A few years after a lady gave me a pamphlet. Inside was written.... Catholic church is the true church. I feel so happy and praise God. I have three children. Now I am already 60 and I allowed God to use me as his instrument. I'm a Sunday school teacher, natural family planning teacher, holy communion minister in the church and a leader in our homecell St Michael group. Amen 🙏

Tit 1:7 - For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;
Rev 3:16 - So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
@@gregoryt8792 Twisting and trolling. REPORTED.
@@gregoryt8792You can memorize, or eat your Bible however you want, but just to let you know the Bible you have is a Catholic Church book. So, you are Protestant spewing verses 😅. Catholic we have the Mass and the gospel is read at the Mass. The Mass predates the Bible. There was no Bible back then, the Bible was a collection of letters to be read at the Mass from the apostles, bishops, to Catholic churches back in the day. Jesus didn’t leave a Bible book when he went to heaven. I’d refer you to Fr. Alar, Divine Mercy on RUclips on his “how to read the Bible.”
Thank you sir, I think I need to watch this on a regular basis to get on track, I really like evangelizing!!!
teach me please! i wanna be your disciple
The biggest sin and scam is to tell people there's a better life after this life and ask them to make a donation.
@@AtamMardes
That makes no sense. I’ll assume your atheist. How is it a sin if you don’t have a God?
Also, most Catholics don’t give to the church more the 10% of what’s in their pockets. Lol
@@polycarp1334
It still is plenty of money even if some of the fools give donations some of times. Smarten up.
Patrick Madrid reminds me of myself every time when I found out there were Protestants and not just Catholics. Still, i am so stubborn and I love being a Catholic. 🤗💗
Carrie why?
@@bornagain9192 Why not????? 🤔🤔
@@bornagain9192 Why? Because is the only church that Jesus Christ founded. Matthew - KJV
16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Why because that church has the keys to enter heaven. Matthew - KJV
16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. It has AUTHORITY. WHY? Because before 1517 there were only two Christian churches, the Catholic church and Orthodox church, and orthodox got separated from the Catholic church in 1054, because they didn't agree with Jesus who called Peter to be in charge of his church. Catholic Bible. John 21:15-17
[15]When they had eaten, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love me more than these others do?' He answered, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'
[16]A second time he said to him, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' He replied, 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Look after my sheep.'
[17]Then he said to him a third time, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, 'Do you love me?' and said, 'Lord, you know everything; you know I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep. You see three times Jesus said my, my, my. Anyone that dosen't belong to Jesus church, is not Jesus's sheep. They belong to the one who founded that church. Catholic Bible. John 10:1-5,7,16
[1]'In all truth I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a bandit.
[2]He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock;
[3]the gatekeeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out.
[4]When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.
[5]They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'
[7]So Jesus spoke to them again: In all truth I tell you, I am the gate of the sheepfold.
[16]And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and I must lead these too. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, one shepherd. Does Jesus likes DIVICIONS? WHY YOU GUYS DON'T BELIEVE ON THE ONLY CHURCH THAT HE FOUNDED?
@@bornagain9192 can you please give me just one verse on the new testament that the apostles kept the sabbath after Jesus's resurrection?
@@Miguelsoto20193 have you heard of Gods cmandments ? Sure you have so really whats it to you? You tryin to put a stumbling block out there? God comands me to do this, in the new test. Jesus says he is not come to change law,not one tidal shall be changed EVER!
His radio show is well worth the time.
God bless you Mr Madrid. I am myself being challenged by Protestants and former Catholic on all kinds of beliefs. I am a Traditional Catholic. I attend the Traditional Latin Mass. I have returned to my childhood Catholic Faith about eight years ago. I have returned to the cradle of my Faith where I find Peace and all the answers I need through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God bless you!
Catholics wanted to destroy the Church of England and through evil catholic Camila, N. Circle and her puppet Chatles did it . Catholics are only a religious institution, they do not have anything with God and Bible ..
I live in an Asian country Thailand 🇹🇭 so I have learned to slow down and speak in a totally different way. I can listen with speed because English is my first language. Im a retired New Zealand teacher living in Bangkok. Unpacking the tightly spoken talk Patrick is a major interpreting skill and you alluded to that when you mentioned the struggles of learning another language. You have to adjust to Muslims Atheists Protestants Non Christians as well get beyond the veil of culture and language. Ive been interested in being an evangelical apologist for a long time. I seem to have had my fair share of being set up in debates that became entrenched and fruitless. Now I use humor sometimes it was a little directional-less. So I want to get better. I agree you have to avoid attacks. Come Holy Spirit fill hearts 💕 my daily prayer. My main goal at 73 years of age is to Meet My Maker. I want to bring a few people with me. No more ego dramas I wish to be caught up in a Theo drama (Bishop Barron) Thank you for your talk. Fast paced as it was the audience obviously can handle it and it nudges us to do more research and field testing. Opportunities will flow. God bless and grateful thanks.
Question of the week 9:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. The holy sabbath unto the Lord. (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 8 is...
Jesus healed many people with His spoken word or by touching.
There is only one case Jesus did differently to the man born blind. (John 9)
What did He do differently and why?
Bible states that sin causes divers diseases to our body. Jesus healed those believers.
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 7:48
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
John 5:14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Those didn't...
Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
There were two cases of blind men. One was blind by his sin and he was cured by his faith.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Other man was born blind.
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus did differently to this man than other sinners. This blind man was born without the eye sight. He was missing the part that functioning of the body.
Scripture tells us that God made us in image of Him and with the dust of the ground.
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
As Jesus did it in the beginning (Genesis) He formed the eye with clay (dust of the ground) and His spit (breath of life) into the blind man's eye).
John 9:6
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
The blind man was made whole as it was originally intended.
This week's question is:
What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Question of the week 13:
Hope that everyone had a blessed Sabbath rest on His holy 7th day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 12 is...
Question was:
What is speaking in tongue means to you?
Please list the Bible verses to backup your belief.
Thank you for those who have participated in this topic.
Tongue is a language.
Let the Bible interpreter itself by journey back to Genesis where God said,
Genesis 11:6-7
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Jesus told His disciples...
Mark 16:17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
And when the Pentecost fully came...
Acts 2:4-11
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded (Genesis 11:7), because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
Peoples from different nations were hearing God's word in their own native languages.
Those did not understood other people nation's languages have expressed...
Acts 2:13
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
As God has expressed...
Genesis 11:6-7
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Many believe that speaking in tongue is heavenly language but they do not understand what is being said.
Then, how would those people be edifying themselves if they cannot understand themselves? Not along, those heard them as babbling.
Paul said speaking tongue is for unbelievers, so they may believe when they hear the word of God in their own languages.
1 Corinthians 14:22
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe
Remember, Corinth was a port city. Many merchants around the world speaking different languages gathered into the church in the Corinth.
EXAMPLE:
You are in the church with many different ethnic groups. Most of them do not speak English nor understand.
At that moment the Holy Spirit gave you gift of speaking in their languages that you do not know so that you may edify the church.
Wouldn't you and those heard it be astonished when they understood what you have said in their own languages and to be witnessed to the wonderful works of God?
This week's question is:
What is the meaning of predestination in the Bible?
Question of the week 20: 10/01/2022
Happy Sabbath, people of God!
Hope you are receiving blessings on His holy 7th day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 19 is...
Question was: What is the the difference between Faith IN Jesus and the Faith OF Jesus?
Jesus is God. God does not die.
But He came in flesh so he became the final sacrificial lamb to be slayed. He endured sufferings, shed His blood and died in our place that we deserve.
He was alone in His mission. He was the loneliest man in this sinful world. Even His apostles abandoned (except John) and doubted Him at the end.
But He has overcome the world and finished the mission of saving the sinners of the world.
Faith in Jesus is believing what He did is to redeem and saved us from our sins.
We are not longer in prison of Satan's grip but free from it and by the truth of God. We will be with Him in Heaven as He promised.
Faith of Jesus is we must do what Jesus did in order for us to overcome the sin as He did. Believe in Him will give us strength to walk the example of Jesus; As He surrendered all to His father and did His father's will and commandments we also ought to follow His footsteps.
> 1 Peter 2:21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
He could have given up on saving humanity and went back to His home in Heaven but He chose to stay and complete the mission by showing us how much Love His father and He has for us. He endured till the end at the cross.
>Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me
Only we can choose the path to sin or not to sin. Choose to have Faith of Jesus or not...it is all up to you.
>John 8:11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
This week's question is:
What is sins of omission and how to avoid them? Bible verses please.

@@gregoryt8792 Tons of data but sort of a shotgun. What are you saying exactly? Here is something for you: St. Ignatius of Antioch [Made bishop by St. Peter himself ]documents circa AD100 in letter to the Smyrnaeans Chap 7: Let us stand aloof from such heretics They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes. But it were better for them to treat it with respect, that they also might rise again. It is fitting, therefore, that you should keep aloof from such persons, and not to speak of them either in private or in public, but to give heed to the prophets, and above all, to the Gospel [i.e. oral tradition because the bible had not been put together yet], in which the passion [of Christ] has been revealed to us, and the resurrection has been fully proved. But avoid all divisions, as the beginning of evils.” [R17]
Brod Patrick, I have d same experienced d same discussion about me being a Catholic. Some how at the end she was happy n contented of all my answer. At the end she said her husband sitting across me is a Penticostal Pastor and she goes saying she used to be Catholic and admitted that her foundation in her being a Catholic before is not strong. She even mentioned that she have asked many Catholics members did not give her answer that satisfy her except me. Praise be to God for Holy Spirit guidance on my part because I am not even well verse of bible verses n wordings. I just answer her in practical way and give her example the reality of life. After our discussion I asked question to myself which I can’t even believe I did it. As I was brought up going all d time w my mother going to bible study always watching religious movies, I think my mind absolved my mother teachings
So happy Bro. Pat Madrid is very much like me. His experience was my experience too. My dad and mom were Catholic Ministers of The Word, they were both catechists which held me to our Catholic faith plus was enrolled and given the opportunity to study at Marist School, a beautiful Catholic Marian institution. Wow! So proud. I am a catholic catechist too, solid in my defence of our church. God bless you Brother Patrick. How I love and pray for you and all apologists, bro. Scott, Marcus, Trent, Jimmy, etc. May our dear Lord bless you all.
The beautiful part is knowing the FINISHED and COMPLETED work of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are under a curse if we deny that wonderful truth

Time is flying by faster and faster as I get older, but that must have been the fastest 53 minutes of my life.
Man , God bless him and his wonderful family 😊😊😊
Hi. Do you agree with Patrick Madrid? My concern about Catholicism is that they preach a different gospel than what the Bible teaches. For example, Catholics believe that, in order to be saved, a person must be baptized and take communion in the Catholic Church church. They also teach that a person cannot know what their standing with God is until they stand before Him in judgment. How can you live in such insecurity?
Yet, I know that I am saved. For example, I was raised by my atheist father and I did not hear the gospel until I was 17. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of the church one night and, looking up at the cross on a steeple, asked God, "Do you want us to honor the cross?" Then I prayed, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" I extended my hands forward.
I saw the Lord descend the last couple of feet to the earth, a white silhouette. I could see the outline of His robe. He took a step and took my hands. Instantly, I felt heaven all over and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I walked away thinking, "That was heaven, but I am on earth. What is heaven doing on earth?"
At the time, I had not read a Bible, so did not know Ephesians 1.14, that the Holy Spirit is our 'down payment,' our assurance of salvation or that, "The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God" (Romans 8.16).
Since that night in the Spring of 1977, I can honestly say that I have not had even one second of doubt that I know Christ and am bound for heaven - not even for a second! I have what is called 'absolute assurance.' Yet, I am not presuming I am saved, but I know it because of my close friendship with the Holy Spirit.
Sadly, Catholics believe a different gospel. For example, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved," but Catholics preach that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic baptism MIGHT be saved." Remember Paul's warning, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed."
May you be filled and have total confidence in your eternal destiny through a close friendship with Christ! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
@@kenshiloh Baptism-in the book of Matthew
19] Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
[20] teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
Communion in the bible
“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you’” ~ Luke 22:19-20
"Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." ~ Matthew 26:26-28
"The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread." ~ 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." ~ Acts 2:42
"So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." ~ John 6:53-58
@@therese6447 Hi. Thank you for your reply. Let's suppose that you are right: you cannot be saved unless you partake of communion and are baptized. What, then, will you do with the gospel? That is, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10.13)." Is that true or do I need to be baptized to be saved? Jesus said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him (Luke 11.13)." Is that true or do I need to receive communion to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
The beauty of the gospel is that we can meet Christ. His blood shed on the Cross makes it possible for sinful people to know Him - just by asking! Yet, woe to those who distort the pure gospel! Paul wrote, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Forget what they tell you about sola scriptura! If you have different gospel than Paul's, you are in big trouble with God!
True or false: Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved? Your eternal destination rests in your answer to that question - and if you call upon Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 7:48
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
John 5:14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Those didn't...
Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
There were two cases of blind men. One was blind by his sin and he was cured by his faith.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Other man was born blind.
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus did differently to this man than other sinners. This blind man was born without the eye sight. He was missing the part that functioning of the body.
Scripture tells us that God made us in image of Him and with the dust of the ground.
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
As Jesus did it in the beginning (Genesis) He formed the eye with clay (dust of the ground) and His spit (breath of life) into the blind man's eye).
John 9:6
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
The blind man was made whole as it was originally intended.
This week's question is:
What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Protestants just pick and choose what is convenient. One have to observe and do EVERYTHING Jesus told us to do. Follow the Authority of the church to interpret the Bible.

Question of the week 6:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. Be blessed on His holy 7th day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 5 is...
There is only one method of baptizing is by immersion (submerged into the water and coming out of it.)
Baptism is a symbol of Christ's burial and resurrection. Our entrance into the water during baptism identifies us with Christ's death on the cross, His burial in the tomb and His resurrection from the dead. Going under the water is a death/burial of your old self/life; coming up out of it is a resurrection (reborn and surrender) unto Christ.
>Matthew 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
>Acts 8:38-39
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
This week's question is:
Can you be re-baptized?
@@narrowwaytolife4525 actually there are several ways to be baptized . one is to be submerged .another is spri kling. And the last is by desire
@@louisewilliams7945 Sprinkling is not biblical.
Christians are follower of Jesus.
Jesus showed us as an example.
@@narrowwaytolife4525 Jesus never said that the way he was baptized was the only way. Babies and the very elderly have been baptized that way because they couldn't be put under the water. You give our Lord way too little credit
@@louisewilliams7945
WHEN SHOULD ONE BE BAPTIZED?
One should know whom you are baptizing into. Must be taught or having the knowledge of God.
Matthew 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Jews already knew God, the creator and His word.
Even to the gentiles...
Angel was sent Philip to Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-39) to show Jesus is the messiah who Isaiah spoken of.
>Acts 8:26
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
>Acts 8:34
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
> Acts 8:36-37
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
NOTICE that only eunuch was baptized not those servants with him.
>Acts 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Also, the Roman centurion had knowledge of God and already received the spirit of God. (Acts chapter 10)
Acts 10:1
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
>Acts 10:22
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
I reluctantly ordered CHICK TRACTS when I was teaching an apologetics class in RCIA. It was very hard to do but it was so important to see what some Protestant (Catholic haters) are teaching.
Thank you Patrick. You are such a great teacher. You have helped me so much as I try to pass on the faith
Linda Bieg
" ...it was so important to see what some Protestant (Catholic haters) are teaching. "
I hope you realize that bible-believing, born again Christians existed before both Catholicism and Protestantism.
I have books from Dave Hunt and Alexander Hislop. Also from 7th Day Adventists and John McArthur. One has to know where those anti Catholic accusations come from.
The Bible only came about in the modern form in the late fourth century. Before that local diocese had their own private collection of sacred books. There was no such thing as a bible believing Christian until AFTER the printing press was invented by Guttenberg in the 15 century. Before That bibles were rare and copied by hand. The only remote approximation to bible alone was by a man named Peter Waldo in the 13th century. You can have your own interpretation but not your own history Mr. Davis.
@@juanisaac5172
" There was no such thing as a bible believing Christian until AFTER the printing press was invented by Guttenberg in the 15 century. "
So nobody believed what the apostles believed? How did you come to that conclusion when Diocletian was burning bibles up until about 303 A.D.
Bible does not mean codex. It means Christian Scriptures and the Old and New Testament manuscripts were being circulated together and every NT book quoted by early church writers by the end of the 1st century A.D. into the early 2nd century--250 years before the false claims of Rome. Rome has a claim that does not hold up to scrutiny, history does not support the claim and Scripture denies the claim.
You need to stop listening to Catholic Apologists and start listening to New Testaament scholars like Daniel Wallace, Michael Kruger, Michael Heiser, N.T. Wright and other guys who make their living as NT scholars.
@@juanisaac5172
" One has to know where those anti Catholic accusations come from. "
Not anti-catholic Juan. Pro-truth. I hate false relilgions, not the people who have been deceived by them. I love my catholic brothers and sisters but I hate the church that misleads them.
I pray that at some point God will open their eyes to the fact that we don't find Catholcism in Scripture. That's why they have the catechism so they can explain a false gospel.
For all the people who are against the Catholic Church and have something they don't agree with it, please contact Sam Shamoun and have a debate or even a discussion with him. I really want to hear his answers. Lately, I have only seen him debating muslims and I don't really care about it as much as the other christian denominations. He is not a Catholic, but his deep understanding of the Bible made him defend it.
I like the honesty of saying "I don´t have an answer".
Thats what happens if you don’t read and study the bible. 🤦♂️
@@willneverend777 Catholic church was there before NT was written and made NT canon.
Last week I was at a Connecticut Catholic men's conference at Goodwin college in East Hartford and that's where I met Patrick Madrid. It was this past Saturday. He's a great inspiration for being a Catholic.
I’m from CT and a new baptized Catholic. I’ll have to look into that conference
Why cause he is really good at the praying the rosary and teaches you about purgatory?
@@willneverend777 What's wrong with that?
@@mdechristi its not commanded by God
@@willneverend777 its not commanded by God
DM-1. Actually, it is. But not directly.
2. And, its not forbidden by God at all.
Let's look at the Rosary. It is a meditation on the life of Christ wherein we pray the Hail Mary and the Our Father to assist us in our reflection.
Scripture says:
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
That's basically the Hail Mary.
Matthew 6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
That, of course, is the Our Father.
As for Purgatory, it is explained here:
1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
It isn't therein named, but it is described.

Good bless you
When I was in 4th-5th grade my parents sent me to some Evangelical school. As a Catholic it was the worst two years of my life as 1/2 the teachings from the actual teachers were anti-Catholic. My parents were from Canada so did not understand the concept of Catholic hate that was in the Bible-belt. I’m unsure how I even got in to that school certainly on some paperwork my parents had noted I was Catholic. But just imagine being that age, going to CCD on Sunday, and then the rest of the week all you heard were Catholic jokes and the teachers bashing Catholicism.
In hindsight it made me embrace Catholicism more as I’d never heard a Catholic “bash” another religion.
Yes, this is what baffles me-that there is such a deep deep violent and very open, vocal hatred of catholicism. The atrocities that the church and catholics did were of the long ago past. The present is full of persecution of catholics who had been making amends and just living up to the faith. We dont bash them. We dont intrude in their discussions and bash them.we dont coerce them to believe us. We allow them their beliefs. They dont have the civility, maturity and good manners to respect our faith.

Question of the week 20: 10/01/2022
Happy Sabbath, people of God!
Hope you are receiving blessings on His holy 7th day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 19 is...
Question was: What is the the difference between Faith IN Jesus and the Faith OF Jesus?
Jesus is God. God does not die.
But He came in flesh so he became the final sacrificial lamb to be slayed. He endured sufferings, shed His blood and died in our place that we deserve.
He was alone in His mission. He was the loneliest man in this sinful world. Even His apostles abandoned (except John) and doubted Him at the end.
But He has overcome the world and finished the mission of saving the sinners of the world.
Faith in Jesus is believing what He did is to redeem and saved us from our sins.
We are not longer in prison of Satan's grip but free from it and by the truth of God. We will be with Him in Heaven as He promised.
Faith of Jesus is we must do what Jesus did in order for us to overcome the sin as He did. Believe in Him will give us strength to walk the example of Jesus; As He surrendered all to His father and did His father's will and commandments we also ought to follow His footsteps.
> 1 Peter 2:21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
He could have given up on saving humanity and went back to His home in Heaven but He chose to stay and complete the mission by showing us how much Love His father and He has for us. He endured till the end at the cross.
>Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me
Only we can choose the path to sin or not to sin. Choose to have Faith of Jesus or not...it is all up to you.
>John 8:11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
This week's question is:
What is sins of omission and how to avoid them? Bible verses please.
They don't teach faith alone. That'sy prob even as David described the blessedness of the man to whom God imputed rightousness is works. Rom , 4
Without works
Question of the week 24: 10/29/2022
Happy Sabbath, church! Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.
I trust that we, the people of God, are receiving blessings on His holy day.
Answer to Question of the week 23:
Question was: When we go to heaven what would be the food for us?
In the beginning Jesus created many things before He created man.
On the 3rd day...food was created.
>Genesis 1:11-13
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Then animals were created on 5th day.
And man was created on 6th day.
Ye shall eat..
>Genesis 1:29-30
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat (food).
30 nd to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat(food): and it was so.
As we have covered on the Question of the week 23, before the flood the church (sons of God) did not eat animals.
There would be no greeneries left to eat after the flood therefore God told to Noah to bring 7 sets of clean animals and only 1 set of unclean into the ark.
We know that people's life span has been dramatically reduced when they started to eat animals as Noah died 950 years old and Abraham died 175 years old (10th generation).
No more death...
>Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Jesus gave His people the Manna at Exodus we too prepare to exit this world soon.
Revelation 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
As the tree of life was in the garden of Eden...
>Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Also, His word is...our food.
>Deuteronomy 8:3
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
>Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
I am looking forward to going back to the garden of Eden.
>Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Question of the week: What is the tree of life?

The Roman Catholic church is Satan's church and all who don't come out of her, will go to Hell. If you're still here in the time of Jacob's Trouble (7 years of God's WRATH on earth by the UNLEASHING of the Antichrist) you will be facing receiving the mark of the beast. Ash Wednesday (Mass) is a type of the mark of the beast upon the forehead. THERE IS NO SALVATION IN ROMAN CATHOLICISM. THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD PROPHECIES IT'S DESTRUCTION IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. JESUS CHRIST HATES THIS SYSTEM. HE IS COMING TO DESTROY IT. SATAN CAUSES ALL TO WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE AND RECEIVE HIS MARK THROUGH ROMAN CATHOLICISM. CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD, ASK HIM TO SAVE YOU!!
@@jlouis4407if you can receive the Eucharist (meaning you aren’t in a state of grave sin) then contact your local Catholic Church and ask if you can be put on their home bound Eucharist ministry list.

Question of the week 9:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. The holy sabbath unto the Lord. (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 8 is...
Jesus healed many people with His spoken word or by touching.
There is only one case Jesus did differently to the man born blind. (John 9)
What did He do differently and why?
Bible states that sin causes divers diseases to our body. Jesus healed those believers.
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 7:48
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
John 5:14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Those didn't...
Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
There were two cases of blind men. One was blind by his sin and he was cured by his faith.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Other man was born blind.
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus did differently to this man than other sinners. This blind man was born without the eye sight. He was missing the part that functioning of the body.
Scripture tells us that God made us in image of Him and with the dust of the ground.
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
As Jesus did it in the beginning (Genesis) He formed the eye with clay (dust of the ground) and His spit (breath of life) into the blind man's eye).

Sadly some people go overboard. The RCC does not teach correctly.
Please read the Bible.
Stay strong in your faith, there are many false teachings about the Church. I am a converted Catholic and it took me a long time to get away from my Adventis roots. I see now that I was brainwashed into believing that if I was not an Adventist I was going to hell. The more that I learn about the Catholic church the more that I agree that it is the church that Jesus started.
@Marygladis Chidozie Jesus is the only hope. Those who spread love is hope. Not the RCC.

The Word "Catholic" In The Bible.
We often encountered this remark from anti-Catholics, "Catholic is nowhere to be found in the Bible!" They have to bear in mind that Christ came and created One Church, not multiple churches with contrasting beliefs.
"You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church." (Matthew 16:18-19).
This verse applies only to one Church pointing to Catholicism not thousands of denominations founded by men. Historical and biblical proofs can attest to this.
Acts 9:31 (Greek Bible), "ai men oun Ekklesia Kath'oles tēs ioudaias kai galilaias kai samareias eichon eirēnēn oikodomoumenai kai poreuomenai tō phobō tou kuriou kai tē paraklēsei tou agiou pneumatos eplēthunonto"
Because of the heretics of the early centuries of Christianity, the word "Catholic" came up; to have a distinction to others who claimed to be Christians but differ in the beliefs of the Church Fathers and the Church.
In the first century we find local stability in the Antiocene community of St Ignatius: 'Wheresoever the bishop appears, there let the people be, even as wheresoever Christ Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church-'ubi Episcopus, ibi Ecclesia'."
But before St. Ignatius came into the scene, St. Evodius, was the first bishop of Antioch. Evodius was one of the 72 disciples of Christ, and Catholic tradition has always held that he was the first bishop of Antioch after St. Peter, and the first to coin the word “Christian” to refer to the disciples of Jesus. He probably died between the years 64-67, when he was then succeeded by St. Ignatius of Antioch.
St. Pacianus, bishop of Barcelona said this to have distinction from other heretical sects who claimed to be Christians in the 4th century.
"Christian is my name, and Catholic my surname. The one designates me, while the other makes me specific. Thus am I attested and set apart. When we are called Catholics it is by this appellation that our people are kept apart from any heretical name."
-Letter to Sympronian, 375 A.D.
Romans 1:8 stated:
"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world."
In Greek Bible:
"He pistis humon Katengeletai en holo to cosmo." (Roma 1:8).
He pistis humon - your faith
Katengeletai - is proclaimed
En holo to cosmo - in all the world
Katholos - according to the whole
.
KaTangeletai ( καταγγέλλεται ) is being proclaimed, en(ν) in HOLOὅ(λ) all
tō(τ) the kosmō (κόσμ) world.
The name, "Catholic Church" didn't derive from English, it came from the Greek. The term katholikos is equivalent to καθόλου (katholou), a contraction of the phrase καθ' ὅλου (kath' holou) meaning "according to the whole". Thus the full name Catholic Church roughly means "universal" or "whole" church.
There are more biblical proofs showing the word Catholic:
Luke 4:14 "Ho Galalaia kai pheme exerchatomai Kath’oles."
Luke 8:39 "Apelthen Kath’oles ten polin..."
Luke 23:5 "Anaseis ton laos didasko Kath’oles."
Acts 9:41 "Gnotos de egeneto Kath’oles.”
Acts 10:32 "Hemeis oidate ho genomenon rhema Kath'oles."
Acts 4:18 "Kai kelasantes autos pareggeilan to Kath'olou..."
Matthew 28:19-20 is a statement of Universality, Katholicos, Catholicus, Catholic:
"Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations...teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; And behold, I am with you all days, even unto the consummation of the world."
The name of our church is "Ekklesia Katholes" which literally means, "The Church throughout" or "The Universal Church" which comes up with the Catholic Church. The reason why it is called Roman is because it was in Rome that the faith of Ekklesia Katholes spread. Here's proof from the book of Acts:
Acts 23:11, "The Lord stood near Paul and said, 'Don't be afraid! You have given your testimony about Me here in Jerusalem, now you must do the same in Rome.”
St. Hermas, St. Linus, and St. Clement were a solid and unequivocal evidences that the Apostles and first Christians were traditionally, historically, and biblically Catholics. Hermas the author of the apocalyptic Christian treatise Shepherd of Hermas dated back late first century to mid-2nd century, was the follower of St. Paul the Apostle and brother of Pope Pius I who ruled the Catholic Church from 140 to 155AD.
According to the early Christian tradition and early Christian theologians, chroniclers and writers like Origen of Alexandria (240AD), St. Heggesipus (110-180AD¬), and Eusebius of Ceasaria (265-340AD),¬ Hermas the brother of Pope Pius I was the same Hermas who made mention by St. Paul in his letter to the Romans 16:14.
St. Linus of Rome the successor to St. Peter as the Pope of the Roman Church from 67 to 76 AD was among the 72 disciples of Jesus Christ (Luke 10:17), and one of the fellow workers of Christ made mention by St. Paul in his second epistle to St. Timothy (2 Timothy 4:21).
This sounds like one of my neighbor approached me and asked where in the Bible say you must pray to Mary? In that instant I didn't know what to say, few days later when I met him I asked do you want to know why we pray to Mary? He just didn't wanted me to explain.
Figures.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful message I can relate to you. I have friends that are not Catholic and they always come up with all of the same questions that you just mentioned on your video. I was born Catholic and on my last breath I will die Catholic . The Catholic Church is like one big family we have God, Jesus , Jesus’s mother , we have the saints and all the angels. May God bless you and your beautiful family🙏🏻❤️
Question of the week 9:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. The holy sabbath unto the Lord. (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 8 is...
Jesus healed many people with His spoken word or by touching.
There is only one case Jesus did differently to the man born blind. (John 9)
What did He do differently and why?
Bible states that sin causes divers diseases to our body. Jesus healed those believers.
Mark 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke 7:48
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
John 5:14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Those didn't...
Matthew 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
There were two cases of blind men. One was blind by his sin and he was cured by his faith.
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Other man was born blind.
John 9:3
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus did differently to this man than other sinners. This blind man was born without the eye sight. He was missing the part that functioning of the body.
Scripture tells us that God made us in image of Him and with the dust of the ground.
Genesis 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
As Jesus did it in the beginning (Genesis) He formed the eye with clay (dust of the ground) and His spit (breath of life) into the blind man's eye).
John 9:6
When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
The blind man was made whole as it was originally intended.
This week's question is:
What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Doesn't really matter if you be catholic , muslim , hindu , LDS , JW , Lutheran or agnostic , you'll still be just as dead .

@@willneverend777 Here is what the bible says after we die:
“As it is appointed for men to die ONCE; but after this THE JUDGEMENT.” Hebrews 9:27

DM-The Catholic Church Teaches the same thing. What are you objecting to?
@@mdechristi so you agree that purgatory isn’t true? Yes or no
@@willneverend777 @De Maria so you agree that purgatory isn’t true? Yes or no
DM-Purgatory is true. What does dying once have to do with Purgatory? Your question not only shows ignorance of Catholic Doctrine, but also about Scripture. Did you know that Scripture speaks of a second death? Once you put both the dying once and the second death together, you'll come closer to understanding the Doctrine of Purgatory. Look up the second death in Scripture.
@@mdechristi if you believe in purgatory then you contradict yoursef to Hebrews 9:27
“It is appointed for men to die ONCE and after this the Judgement”
I am a Catholic because Jesus talked about His Church only once in whole of New Testament Bible and comparing Jesus with other gods only Jesus came back alive after being killed.
Thank you Patrick
May God bless you & your family
stion of the week 6:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. Be blessed on His holy 7th day (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 5 is...
There is only one method of baptizing is by immersion (submerged into the water and coming out of it.)
Baptism is a symbol of Christ's burial and resurrection. Our entrance into the water during baptism identifies us with Christ's death on the cross, His burial in the tomb and His resurrection from the dead. Going under the water is a death/burial of your old self/life; coming up out of it is a resurrection (reborn and surrender) unto Christ.
>Matthew 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
>Acts 8:38-39
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
This week's question is:
Can you be re-baptized?
true apostolic teaching is teaching what the apostles taught , right?
But the RCC does not.
@@donhaddix3770 Your still trying to be a good reformer and digging deeper and deeper. When are you ever reformed ?
@@jgood6088 not into Reformed.
@@donhaddix3770 of course you are. If not Catholic your in the other camp..... call it what you want , reformed . first this or that. History has already been recorded. Your not Catholic... outside the Church
@@jgood6088 RCC is not the Biblical Church. It is not a denomination.
He says Mary was sinless (as does the Catholic faith. Did Paul lie when he said in Romans 3:23 23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”?
Here is the definition of the immaculate conception.
The Definition
Wherefore, in humility and fasting, we unceasingly offered our private prayers as well as the public prayers of the Church to God the Father through his Son, that he would deign to direct and strengthen our mind by the power of the Holy Spirit. In like manner did we implore the help of the entire heavenly host as we ardently invoked the Paraclete. Accordingly, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, for the honor of the Holy and undivided Trinity, for the glory and adornment of the Virgin Mother of God, for the exaltation of the Catholic Faith, and for the furtherance of the Catholic religion, by the authority of Jesus Christ our Lord, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own: “We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”
Paul was referring to the jews and gentiles that they are all of the same in sinning and needing to believe in Jesus. Paul ins't talking about the generality of everyone but only everyone in the group he is referring to.
Thank you for your response. Your comment inspired me to ask the following question “What other groups of people could have been referred to in Paul’s day by Paul?” Could you elaborate? Thanks!
Yes sinless.
As was the belief of the Reformers.
Martin Luther (founder of the reform), speaks on Mary
There can be no doubt that the Virgin Mary is in heaven. How it happened we do not know. And since the Holy Spirit has told us nothing about it, we can make of it no article of faith . . . It is enough to know that she lives in Christ.
(Sermon of August 15, 1522, the last time Martin Luther preached on the Feast of the Assumption)
The veneration of Mary is inscribed in the very depths of the human heart.
(Sermon, September 1, 1522)
[She is the] highest woman and the noblest gem in Christianity after Christ . . . She is nobility, wisdom, and holiness personified. We can never honor her enough. Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures.
(Sermon, Christmas, 1531)
No woman is like you. You are more than Eve or Sarah, blessed above all nobility, wisdom, and sanctity.
(Sermon, Feast of the Visitation, 1537)
One should honor Mary as she herself wished and as she expressed it in the Magnificat. She praised God for his deeds. How then can we praise her? The true honor of Mary is the honor of God, the praise of God's grace . . . Mary is nothing for the sake of herself, but for the sake of Christ . . . Mary does not wish that we come to her, but through her to God.
(Explanation of the Magnificat, 1521)
Luther gives the Blessed Virgin the exalted position of "Spiritual Mother" for Christians:
It is the consolation and the superabundant goodness of God, that man is able to exult in such a treasure. Mary is his true Mother ..
(Sermon, Christmas, 1522)
Mary is the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of all of us even though it was Christ alone who reposed on her knees . . . If he is ours, we ought to be in his situation; there where he is, we ought also to be and all that he has ought to be ours, and his mother is also our mother.
(Sermon, Christmas, 1529)
It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary's soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God's gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin"
(Sermon: "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527)
She is full of grace, proclaimed to be entirely without sin- something exceedingly great. For God's grace fills her with everything good and makes her devoid of all evil.
(Personal {"Little"} Prayer Book,
Martin Luther on Mary's Perpetual Virginity
Christ, our Savior, was the real and natural fruit of Mary's virginal womb . . . This was without the cooperation of a man, and she remained a virgin after that.
{Luther's Works, eds. Jaroslav Pelikan (vols. 1-30) & Helmut T. Lehmann (vols. 31-55), St. Louis: Concordia Pub. House (vols. 1-30); Philadelphia: Fortress Press (vols. 31-55), 1955, v.22:23 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 (1539)}
Christ . . . was the only Son of Mary, and the Virgin Mary bore no children besides Him . . . I am inclined to agree with those who declare that 'brothers' really mean 'cousins' here, for Holy Writ and the Jews always call cousins brothers.
{Pelikan, ibid., v.22:214-15 / Sermons on John, chaps. 1-4 (1539)}
A new lie about me is being circulated. I am supposed to have preached and written that Mary, the mother of God, was not a virgin either before or after the birth of Christ . . .
{Pelikan, ibid.,v.45:199 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew (1523)}
Scripture does not say or indicate that she later lost her virginity . . .
When Matthew [1:25] says that Joseph did not know Mary carnally until she had brought forth her son, it does not follow that he knew her subsequently; on the contrary, it means that he never did know her . . . This babble . . . is without justification . . . he has neither noticed nor paid any attention to either Scripture or the common idiom.
{Pelikan, ibid., v.45:206,212-3 / That Jesus Christ was Born a Jew (1523) }
". . . she is full of grace, proclaimed to be entirely without sin. . . . God's grace fills her with everything good and makes her devoid of all evil. . . . God is with her, meaning that all she did or left undone is divine and the action of God in her. Moreover, God guarded and protected her from all that might be hurtful to her."
(Luther's Works, American edition, vol. 43, p. 40, ed. H. Lehmann, Fortress, 1968)
". . . she is rightly called not only the mother of the man, but also the Mother of God. . . . it is certain that Mary is the Mother of the real and true God."
{Sermon on John 14. 16: Luther's Works (St. Louis, ed. Jaroslav, Pelican, Concordia. vol.

Question of the week 10:

The answer to Question of the week 9 is...
Question was: What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
It is wonderful to see many of you have expressed your own understanding of this verse.
We are the follower of Jesus. His word is only to our bread of life.
>Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Adam and Eve took a doctrine of serpent (Satan) over the word of God. The results of their doing caused God to came in flesh and suffered, and shed His blood to die for our sins...that we deserve but He took all to Himself for love for us.
So, shall we take His word lightly and leaning to any men's doctrines? Should we go to the original source or secondaries?
>Job 36:12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Sword = The word of God.

Happy Sabbath, people of God!

The answer to Question of the week 20 is...
Question was: What is sins of omission and how to avoid them?
A sin of omission involves not doing what is right or failing to do as Jesus instructed.
Refusing to share Christ and gospel with others, neglecting to care for those in need, and avoiding praying for or correcting others are all examples of sins of omission.
Examples from Jesus...
>Matthew 25:42-43
42 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
>Luke 10:30-35
30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
>Luke 6:9
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
Share Christ and His gospel with others.
>Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Those don't...
>Luke 11:52
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Be a watchman for the wicked and the righteous...
>Ezekiel 3:18-21
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
>Ezekiel 33:6
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand
Love thy neighbor as yourself and keeping the Ten Love Commandments are the way to avoid sins of omission.
>John 5:29
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
>James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)

For centuries Catholics burnt the Bible and killed millions of protestants and Jewish people., even educated ones.
It’s not the priests or sisters that collectively push us out. It’s individuals backed by the organization that not only push but shove.

Question was: What is the the difference between Faith IN Jesus and the Faith OF Jesus?
Jesus is God. God does not die.
But He came in flesh so he became the final sacrificial lamb to be slayed. He endured sufferings, shed His blood and died in our place that we deserve.
He was alone in His mission. He was the loneliest man in this sinful world. Even His apostles abandoned (except John) and doubted Him at the end.
But He has overcome the world and finished the mission of saving the sinners of the world.
Faith in Jesus is believing what He did is to redeem and saved us from our sins.
We are not longer in prison of Satan's grip but free from it and by the truth of God. We will be with Him in Heaven as He promised.
Faith of Jesus is we must do what Jesus did in order for us to overcome the sin as He did. Believe in Him will give us strength to walk the example of Jesus; As He surrendered all to His father and did His father's will and commandments we also ought to follow His footsteps.
> 1 Peter 2:21
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
He could have given up on saving humanity and went back to His home in Heaven but He chose to stay and complete the mission by showing us how much Love His father and He has for us. He endured till the end at the cross.
>Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me
Only we can choose the path to sin or not to sin. Choose to have Faith of Jesus or not...it is all up to you.
>John 8:11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
This week's question is:
What is sins of omission and how to avoid them? Bible verses please.
Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace

How come Protestant churches divide themselves all the time that's not a sign of the Holy Spirit
Abel De Santiago
You are absolutely correct God never wanted division but man and satan did and do. God also never made His church to evolve with doctrines not found in scripture or believe in the Lord's mother as if she has any powers! These things the roman Catholic church teaches are not scriptural. So while you point to thousands of denominations look within the roman Catholic church and ask yourself whether all the doctrines promoted by the roman Catholic church actually line up with scripture and what the Holy Spirit teaches?
The Catholic doctrines line up with bible because Catholic church was founded by Jesus
@@johnyang1420 Jesus Christ called His church "MY CHURCH" not Peters, not roman Catholic ,. not catholic , not orthodox , not denominational , not protestant , just MY CHURCH. Matthew 12:17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Here are some things the roman Catholic church teaches and they do not line up with the bible at all ever!
890 A.D. Worship of Saint Joseph. ??
995 A.D. Canonization of dead saints, by Pope John XV. ??
1090 A.D. The rosary, mechanical praying, invented by Peter the Hermit. ??
1215 A.D. Auricular (talking in someone's ear) Confession of sins to a priest instead of God, instituted by Pope Innocent III at the Lateran Council. ??
1220 A.D. Adoration of the Wafer (Host), decreed by Pope Honorius III.
1229 A.D. The Bible forbidden to laymen and placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by the Council of Valencia.
1414 A.D. The cup forbidden to the people at communion by the Council of Constance.
1439 A.D. Purgatory proclaimed as a dogma by the Council of Florence.
1508 A.D. The Ave Maria (Hail Mary) -completed fifty years later and approved by Pope Sixtus V about 1600 A.D.
1534 A.D. Jesuit Order founded by Ignatius Loyola.
1545 A.D. Tradition declared of equal authority with the Bible by the Council of Trent. ??
As you said
" The Catholic doctrines line up with bible because Catholic church was founded by Jesus "
So here's your homework ,go line these up with scripture ?
Bible says we have one mediator One only Jesus
Julie Mackey
1st Timothy 2:5. Therefore Mary is excluded as 'mediatrix'. RC 'priests' have no power of mediation.
Exactly I have been telling my dad for years but he prays the rosary and every other RC doctrine
I hate the RC church I love Jesus with all my heart and want to see him set free from this bondage
@@juliemackey8907 Look up what the Catholic Church teaches about Mary as mediatrix; you can find a good article at Catholic Answers, and you'll see there's nothing objectionable about it. Same with saying the rosary: all the Hail Mary prayer does is quote the Bible and then ask Mary to pray for me. Nothing evil about that, right? I'm curious why so many Protestants simply disagree with, say, Baptists but absolutely hate the Catholic Church.
@@juliemackey8907 - You cannot truly love Jesus and hate the one and only Church He founded. The 'Jesus' you claim to love is nothing more than a false idol you've created in your own image, which can not and will not save you.
Refuted centuries ago
Why? Because Catholicism accepts, and supports the broadest range of spiritualities of any Christian denomination. Every time there is a "holiness" movement in a Protestant church, the organization tells them to go away.

Question of the week 10:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. The holy sabbath unto the Lord. (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 9 is...
Question was: What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
It is wonderful to see many of you have expressed your own understanding of this verse.
We are the follower of Jesus. His word is only to our bread of life.
>Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Adam and Eve took a doctrine of serpent (Satan) over the word of God. The results of their doing caused God to came in flesh and suffered, and shed His blood to die for our sins...that we deserve but He took all to Himself for love for us.
So, shall we take His word lightly and leaning to any men's doctrines? Should we go to the original source or secondaries?
>Job 36:12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Sword = The word of God.

Thank you so much for your sharing and teaching Patrick. I am more and more proud of being a Catholic.

Paul seems to have gone in the opposite direction, as one who had taken great pride in his Jewish heritage. (Philippians 3:8) 'More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ...........'

Thank you for explaining the negative aspects of protestants regarding catholicism.
Jesus said very sternly, that do not judge...But a group of Catholics like Martin Luther, Kalvin etc judged Catholic order like Pope and the leaders of the church instead of praying for them. They judged that Catholics, that they are doing everything wrong, specially the leadership and the teachings. So they decided to part ways and created a cult group called Protestants taking all the right things and omitting all wrongs as they conveniently believed. Within a few years they judged each other and split into more cult groups...And again judged...again split...it continues and reached to almost 35000 or more cult groups today. And it keep increasing day by day. And since they are parted from the Original Catholic church and gone away, they have ceased all the rights to be called Christians. Catholics are the original Church formed by Christ and all others who broke away have no right to be called Christians. And the worst thing is that they never love the word of god but just use the word of god to poke catholic. They learn the bible with only this in mind how to argue and win. Very unfortunate. Pray for them.
nice story Simon. based on what? 35000 splits of which I can go to most any of them and feel quite comfortable. Study your own divisions, there are many. Think of our many "divisions" as house churches. That is how the original church operated, and still does in some countries.
i am willing to debate with you anytime upon my "love for the word of God" How many books of the bible have you read and prayed through so far this year? What is your relationship with our Father?
My bible says a christian is a follower of Christ, one who believes that he died for my sins and was raised on the third day.1 cor.15:1-4
“Just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body” (1 Cor 12.12-13). It’s called the Church. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life..not an establishment.
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 ESV
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!
Mattew 18:
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he ... And if he refuses to listen
Leviticus 19:15 ESV
“You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.
.Romans 16:17-18 ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles (so we are all guilty)

Did you know Luther intimately? Are you SURE that he never prayed for the so-called 'pope' at that time? Luther was zealous even for the conversion of Turks and Jews, and he reached out to Orthodox in an effort toward common understanding; why should he not be concerned for the spiritual welfare of Catholics also? Are you not assuming things about him which you cannot prove?
Besides, 'not judging' does not imply lack of moral or spiritual discrimination. If Rome was selling indulgences, that had to be 'called out'. Do you suppose that in our day, clerical sexual abuse should be allowed to go unchecked, for fear of 'judging' those responsible?
You say that you are the 'original Church'. The Orthodox say the same thing. Go duke it out among yourselves, while Protestant missions flourish in the Third World and bring millions of souls into the Kingdom of God, to the glory of Jesus Christ.
I’m a Christian, a believer in Jesus Christ and His death, burial and resurrection that conquered death for all who believe. His ONE time, never to be repeated, ALL sufficient sacrifice for sins cleanses me and translated me into the kingdom of God. Praise be to Him, and Him alone, for His glorious grace to SAVE all who believe!! No need to be Catholic, I am a Christian who fellowships at a wonderful Bible believing church. Eph. Col. Heb. 10, Rom. 5:1 Rev. 18:4
If you’re not Catholic then you’re not part of Christ’s Church. His Church is one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic. These are the four marks of Christ’s true Church. Only the Catholic Church possesses all four.
@@ClergetMusic True!!!!
@@ClergetMusic show me in the bible
@@deejayenvee84 show you what exactly? The very nature of your question suggests to me that you have a priori concluded that what I have stated is not in the Bible and even if I were to show you, you would not accept it. That being said:
John 10:16, John 17:11, 1 Cor 10:17 (that Christs Church shall be one), John 17:11 (that the Catholic Church is the Church established by Christ), Matthew 7:17-20 (that the Church is holy, founded by Christ, as evidenced by its fruits), Matthew 24:14 (that the Church is universal), Matthew 16:18-19 (on the Apostolic foundations of the Church), 2 Cor 5:20 (on the authority of the Church).
Now, tell me how ANY Protestant denomination meets those requirements. Its in the Bible that the Church shall be ONE. Protestants don’t fit that description because none of your churches teach the same doctrine. You arent holy because your origins can all be traced back to a MAN, and it’s not even the SAME man for all of you. You do not have Apostolic Succession and you rightly do not attempt to claim it. Protestants are not universal, either. The Catholic Church has gone out to ALL the world. There are places in the world where at least ONE of the Protestant denominations cannot be found. The Catholic Church is everywhere.
I would also refer you to the Apostolic Fathers, specifically Clement I and Ignatius of Antioch. Read their writings and compare what they say to the teachings of the Catholic Church. They are identical. These men personally knew the Apostles, were taught by them, and even consecrated by them and sent by them to preach the Gospel.
Since you know our Church, I think it is fair to ask you to divulge yours. What denomination do you belong to?
@@ClergetMusic so basically you are singling out the episcopal church, the orthodox church? Catholic doesn't appear in the bible. You know the roman empire took over the church and perverted it, which is why their legacy remains with within the church named Roman catholic. If you so pro catholic why does the church look more like the world instead of the world looking like the church...you preach false doctrine and you use God's word to justify yourself.
FOR ONE SIMPLE REASON STATED BETTER THAN ANYONE EVER COULD BY PETER THE DISCIPLE WHEN JESUS WAS IN THEIR MIDST BEFORE HIS CRUCIFIXION. WHERE SHALL WE GO LORD. YOU HSVE THE WOTDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. AMEN AMEN AMEN.
First class, thanks. That’s all I can say. Noel
I'm in awe of God's love and His grace He's blessed me, my Catholic Faith. I could've been born in an atheistic or Muslim family yet I have been blessed to be born in a strong Catholic family when I'm so undeserving. This I know for sure- there's no one who loves like God does! I have many weaknesses and faults, however, I pray not to fail Him when He needs me most - to be His witness. Deus vult!
So if I believe Jesus was the messiah and accepted him as the savior; but don’t go to a human priest to ‘cleanse’ my sins, do I go to hell? The priest or pope is a sinner just like you and I. I hate that Christians can’t just all be each other’s allies instead of divided based on denominations. We’re all believers in Jesus, we’re on the same side, not enemies.
Catholicism can't save you tho. Muslims say the same thing as you about where there born. In fact all religions people do.
I say, however "thank God he brought the gospel of his grace to me when I was but a hell bound sinner".
God is no respecting of persons. He doesn't care what family your born in. All that matters is are you trusting Jesus ALONE, to save you. Or are you trusting in the church and your good deeds?
12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
(1 John, 5)
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Ephesians, 2)
4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
(Titus, 3)
It is very simple to be saved and takes only a minute to explain. Please let me show you how to get to Heaven from the Bible, God's Word...
Man is a Sinner in the Eyes of a Holy God.
Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”Romans 3:19, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
There is a Price For Our Sin―Burning in Hell Forever.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”2nd Thessalonians 1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Jesus paid that price by dying on the cross and shedding His blood; Christ was buried and bodily rose again the third day!
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”1st Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...”1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” This is the Gospel.
By faith in Jesus Christ ALONE we are immediately saved.Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”1st Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a Person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Simply BELIEVE the Gospel and You Are Saved!

(John, 14)
I came by Jesus. The pope and preists have nothing to offer me
It's time for Catholic and Protestant leaders to get together and reunite. Christianity is way too fragmented, and there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of Protestant denominations now. There are no longer absolute truths being consistently preached in the churches given the collapse of the mainline Protestant denominations, and liberalization of teachings in many churches. There are absolute truths that must be honored by all. United we stand, and divided we fall. The current situation is a disaster. Let's put pride aside and reunite like the first 1,500 years before it's too late!
Agreed. Among the last prayers that Jesus prayed during his sojourn here on earth was for us to be one even as He and the Father are One. And surely that prayer will be in time answered! (Personally, I don't believe He will come back until it is.) But how to make it happen? As a reformed Protestant (I produced a video series entitled "Amazing Grace: This History and Theology of Calvinism") I was about as outside the RC world as one could get. But over the years I've been, reaching back to the late 80's when I started spending time at abortion mills and in jail (Operation Rescue) with passionate and godly Catholics, and continuing to this day with interactions with people like Dr. Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, Peter Kreeft, etc. I have had a lot of my objections swept away or at least put into the "I'm not ready to completely buy in on this, but it could be true" category. (My biggest problem really are the dozens of services I have attended over the years. The majority--hands in pockets during worship, lips barely moving, looking down and around throughout the service, dead-pan faces, and scooting to the exit just as soon as they have punched their liturgical clock--is positively depressing compared to the much more vibrant and alive Protestant churches I have attended.) For example, I believe in the real presence in the Eucharist--but through the means of consubstantiation versus transubstantiation. What to do?
I've wondered if just all of us who love God but are not RC should, for the sake of unity, should just jump in and then see what God does through the resultant explosive reaction. Fission or fusion?
Michael the Catholic church has been trying to unite with them. We call it the ecumenical council. But because of stubborn differences it has been futile. One has to give way. And it cannot be the original church bro. But the priests have attended and tried reaching to them but somehow they still go on with what they believe. That is the spirit of Catholicism, being universal. It upholds all truths from all groups even Muslims, Buddhists, etc..
There are more than 40000 Protestant denominations. Pretty much anyone who can gather some people , open a church and interpret the Bible as it suits them.
They left us, we didn't leave them. We have been inviting them back for 500 years now. All divisions in Christianity are caused by non-Catholic Christians refusing to listen to the Holy Spirit Who is calling them all to convert to, or come back to, the Catholic Church.
Becasue they all sought after truth. You guys just accepted words of man can call them Traditions
" There is NO other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
ONLY Jesus saves forever
The #1 reason I left the Catholic Church is when I realized the church fits the textbook description of gaslighting when “she” makes the claim “she” cannot change. The church has and does change. Even the moral authority of the church has changed. Vatican II did change the church. I was a catechist and spent time explaining how the church is always “reforming” but not changing. I thought that was the truth, but I always researched this topic to make sure I was always speaking the truth. But the reality is the opposite. All things change, especially the Catholic Church. The fact the church “declares” that she can’t when she clearly has and does was one of the many reasons I left. It does great harm to Catholics that the church continues to gaslight her believers.
It seems you don't understand what the Church is a Mystical Body of Christ and the differences in ordinary and extraordinary magisterium. The Church never changes as a moral person directly headed by Christ, it changes in the ordinary magisterium. And Vatican II is full of heresies that goes against the Church and will never truly be accepted infallibly.
@@felipeneves9571 hello Felipe. I appreciate that response. It’s what I would’ve commented to myself. I am very familiar with the distinction of ordinary vs extraordinary magisterium of the church and I am well aware that any papal infallible declarations are matters of faith and there’s little way to contradict those. That being said, I don’t know if you are in the United States or elsewhere, but existing in the American Catholic Church is a cold civil war. You have believers of every spectrum, some existing in every spectrum of belief- actually arguing about doctrine, dogma, both their prospective influence on political law and culture wars. But this is only because every side of this equation is actually right. How can that be? Pope Francis personally supports socialist politicians (not a slam on socialists as I have my sympathies), is granting Germany their own ability to interpret Catholic dogma their own unique ways (with the explicit aim at making the whole world “synodical”), you have Vatican II documents that explicitly contradict ordinary magisterium of the past, and I could go on some more. But my point is that there is no single definition of being a “Catholic” and the end result of the Church doing such a doctrinal pretzel on herself she has made herself obsolete. After all, it is Francis who has defined that a person ultimately answers to their own conscience first, everything else second (church included). Ergo, if the church is in the way, then remove yourself from the situation and seek peace. Christ is within, not in a painted chapel. Even the church says as much. I am merely following the Christian imperative to follow the truth wherever it leads me (outside of the church).
Also the fact that divorced and remarried Catholics can take communion and not be under mortal sin is a development against a moral doctrine which is also evidence that the church does change, even her moral authority. All things change.
@@froilanadiaz You are correct in the problems produced by Vatican II. I don't like them myself. You need to look at what traditionalists (like me) are saying. Look for the FSSPX and what bishop Lefevbre did. There are many that spoke and are speaking out against the disgrace inside the Church today, it's just that they are not in the mainstream. But also remember, Our Lord Jesus Christ said that the abomination of the desolation INSIDE the holy place is to be one of the biggest signs of His return.
@@froilanadiaz No, it didn't change. That's a herectic proposition by Francis. The infallible magisterium would never affirm that, hence it hasn't.

What the Catholic Church Teaches About Sola Scriptura
The idea of sola scriptura is one that is very prevalent in Protestant denominations. Sola scriptura is the notion that scripture alone is the foundation of faith, and contains all revealed truth in Christianity. A common misconception that Protestants hold is that since Catholics do not believe in sola scriptura, we therefore do not know the bible, and do not promote the importance of reading and applying the teachings of sacred scripture to our lives. However, this understanding of Catholicism is not correct.
“The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” (The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893).
The teaching authority of the Catholic Church is obtained both from Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Protestants tend to overlook the importance of Sacred Tradition in an effort to hold scripture as their sole basis of faith. Catholics do observe Sacred Scripture with high importance, as it is the inspired word of God. It is actually through the eyes of apostolic Tradition that scripture can be most fully understood, because they are so closely tied. The Second Vatican Council on Divine Revelation, says:
I cannot support the murder of people that the RCC practices for centuries.
If only Catholics gave this level of instruction and persuasion regarding "Why be Christian?" and then simply lived out discipleship in a Catholic way. And I don't use this word of critique lightly-how despicable it is to lump Protestant *brethren* in with atheists and Muslims over matters of Catholic faith. The faith is universal, that's why it's Catholic. Distinctives and denominational practices do not make believers or unbelievers.
Protestants don’t believe in the Eucharist as being the Body and Blood of Christ. Read 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 where it explains “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why many of you are WEAK and SICK and some have even DIED.” Does that sound like normal bread to you? All the early Christians and church fathers believed the Bread was the true Body of Christ.
I dont think Jesus would want you to eat him literally. That would be cannibalsim. Jesus is speaking metaphors
Don’t include all Protestants, many as Lutherans do believe in the Eucharist, because the Bible and History support that believe.
Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; (1) for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. ... Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.
@@willneverend777 Methapors? Can you explain to me what happen prior to the incident of John 6:66? Yes, the number 666 is an actual biblical account of the Anti-Christ, those who don't believe that the Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
@@willneverend777 You are wrong here! Your authority is your own fallible judgement!!!!
Some of these comments break my heart. Seeing Protestants and Catholics arguing hurts deeply. We're all supposed to be one body in Christ this division sometimes drives me to tears. How can nonbelievers take us seriously when we're condemning our own brothers and sisters in faith.
Well….Protestants left the Catholic church. They should come back. There is no reason to be Protestant. Jesus started Catholic church.
Look into book Pope Peter by Heschmeyer. If papacy is true, we should all be Catholic. Papacy is true.
Question of the week 10:
HAPPY SABBATH, everyone. The holy sabbath unto the Lord. (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
The answer to Question of the week 9 is...
Question was: What is this verse means to you?
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
It is wonderful to see many of you have expressed your own understanding of this verse.
We are the follower of Jesus. His word is only to our bread of life.
>Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart
Adam and Eve took a doctrine of serpent (Satan) over the word of God. The results of their doing caused God to came in flesh and suffered, and shed His blood to die for our sins...that we deserve but He took all to Himself for love for us.
So, shall we take His word lightly and leaning to any men's doctrines? Should we go to the original source or secondaries?
>Job 36:12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Sword = The word of God.
This week's question is:
Can you list the doctrines and beliefs that are not in the Bible or obscured that seeped into Christians and Catholics alike?
@@johnyang1420 The Papacy is a joke. Just look at church history. It's embarrassing to believe men over the perfect Word of God.
Papacy is true
Why I am not Catholic, but just catholic.
I believe in justification by faith apart from works of the law. Faith alone. The Catholic reaction is “if that were true, then one can sin as much as they want.”
Romans 3:28 ESV
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Romans 5:1 ESV
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God THROUGH our Lord Jesus Christ.
Justified by faith means permanent peace.
“you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience“
”the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing...”
…”In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
Hostility, blindness and dead attributed to unbelievers.
Romans 5:12-13 ESV
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned- [13] for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law.
Sin and the law are synonymous. The law answers sin but if the Law is not applicable to action, then sin is not present. Our actions of works and sin are tethered to the law. Our “works” and “works of the law” cannot be categorically separated.
The free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. -
what Adam failed to do, Christ fixed.
“For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the ABUNDANCE of grace and the free GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.”
how much Grace??? Whats the Gift? Are we to BECOME righteous by works and reduced sin??? ….”if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW creation. The old has passed away; behold, the NEW has come.”
Is the “new” brought on by self action? or spiritual influence? What is the actual “peace” we have with God??? How can we answer the question of sin in those who are renewed and changed?
Righteousness - If God is spirit, then true Change is of the heart, not the flesh. We come to God Broken in need of help. So, what is this help? How does it work? “All this is FROM God, who THROUGH Christ reconciled us to himself and GAVE US the ministry of reconciliation;”
Notice reconciliation is from God, it’s GIVEN to us through Christ. How?
“…in Christ - God was reconciling the world to himself, NOT COUNTING their trespasses (sin) against them, and ENTRUSTING (giving) to us the message of reconciliation.”
“Reconciliation” is given to us, and the power of reconciliation defined as sin no longer counted against us. Notice it’s not past trespasses, but All trespasses categorically.
So, how did Christ do this? God did something through Christ to reconcile us to God, so that our own efforts were no longer necessary through works of the law to achieve willed standards of holiness. The “works of the law” and “works” general are indistinguishable. Anything you consciously “do” to perfect your self is a “work”.
2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV
For our sake he MADE him to be sin who knew no sin, so that IN him we might become the righteousness of God…… “In Christ” is key. If we look at Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are “IN Christ Jesus”.
What is “IN CHRIST”? - Galatians 3:26-27 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through FAITH. [27] For as many of you as were baptized INTO Christ have put on Christ. In Christ is a spiritual change, the heart.
How can the ungodly possibly be saved and how can works fit into the scenario of the saved? We’ve established works and works of the law. Read on.
Romans 4:4 Now to the one who WORKS, his wages are NOT COUNTED as a gift but as his due.
Works outside faith give a due, not salvation.
Romans 4:5 And to the one who does NOT WORK but BELIEVES in him who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is counted as righteousness,
"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."
There is a implied finished work in Christ not found in cooperative human will. Human will is actually the problem for which we need reconciliation through Christ to make ourselves right with God. Otherwise, all we have is the law and the law demonstrates insufficient by producing a “due” rather than salvation.
The blessed man is a man forgiven of his trespasses and sin. He’s forgiven of that which he was dead in and made alive in through Christ death and given reconciliatory imputed righteousness.
“So you can be saved and just got murder someone?”
Salvation comes with a new spirit indwelling. The spirit causes one to be made alive, mind renewed changed. Does this spirit influence us? Does it cause change or do we “will” change in some cooperative since?
John 5:24 - Jesus
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and BELIEVES him who sent me HAS eternal life. He DOES NOT come into judgment, but HAS PASSED from death to life.
Notice the finality of this statement. “Has eternal life”. Can someone have eternal life then lose it? “Does not come into judgment but - has passed - from DEATH to LIFE”. Can one pass to life then retrace back and pass back into death? All of scripture shows we are dead in sin, hostile to God and then “made alive”. So then can we be made “dead” again in sin and return to hostility with God? Scripture says NO.
The spirit is key. No one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Holy Spirit. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. The holy spirit compels action. We are not saved then left alone to our self will. Those saved are met with the compelled directions of the spirit.
The will of God is impressed upon those spirit filled. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. In Christ we also have the certainty of obedience. Obedience WILL be a trait of the believer.
John 14:15
"If you love me, you WILL keep my commandments.
Did he say you can keep? Is it optional? No, he said you WILL keep. Look further…
John 14:23
Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he WILL keep my word, and my Father WILL love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
Christ reconciles us to the Father for this benefit. Even when we were dead in our trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ-For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is NOT YOUR own doing; it is the GIFT of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
What saves? Through what??? Are these related to you in any way??? Its a GIFT so that we cannot Boast. Meaning we cannot claim cooperative works as credit for salvation. Its ALL God through Faith alone and as demonstrates above, faith alone produces saving faith which produced compelled behavior. Works are a result, not “with”.
Now for certainty of Salvation. Romans 8:38-39 - For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, [39] nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Since the Love of Christ is the result of our live for him, this regards salvation. Can anything remove salvation??? Some argue your will can. But as ive argued, self will plays no role in becoming saved. And notice the last categorical statement “nor anything else in all creation”. Last i checked, we are apart of creation. Therefore NOTHING can undo or remove salvation.
Premised correctly, salvation is a radical mind altering spirit filled change of permanency with a new spirit causing compelled action. We pass from death to life. Hostility to love. And SIN of all minds are reconciled by Christ to the father through his death and resurrection. And we gave the promise of eternal life AND sanctification completion before we die.
Philippians 1:6 ESV
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
The classic hymn applies.
“I have decided…to follow Jesus. No turning back…no turning back”
Like the apostles, radical change produces radical Life. No turning back.
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations and thank you for taking the time to read. If this has given, you pause as a Catholic, the general Catholic response to that which they cannot explain, is “the church was started by Jesus, the Roman Catholic Church is the one true church, therefore, what they say, is all that matters.”
The spirit of God will not let a regenerant believer fall into the trap of unilateral Unfounded claims based on “because the church said so”. No ones theology should be built upon blind faith. Only those blinded by the god of this world are blinded to the reality of God. If your conscience urges you one way and your church demands under threat of anathema another way - without evidence, follow your conscience and work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Thank you for your great testimony, I love watching prostestans coming to my catholic faith witch i truelly love.

@@vasilias2230 The same could be said about my own church. I think the important thing to realize is most Christian faiths point towards Jesus.

@@TheBeardedSandman You said to @Vasilias The same could be said about my own church.
DM-So you think that the doctrines of your church are perfect?
Will-I think the important thing to realize is most Christian faiths point towards Jesus.
DM-I don't agree. There's a sleight of hand going on with the teachings of Scripture alone and faith alone.
Here's what I see. Since you can decide for yourself what Scripture says, you are not relying upon God, but upon yourself. And since you can decide that you have enough faith to declare yourself saved, you are not relying upon a hope in God's love and mercy, but again about a personal affection and pride for your own ability.
Therefore, Protestant religions do not point to God, nor to Christ, but to themselves.
Will-The first principles and ordinances of any Christian church are Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the holy spirit, and Enduring in the faith until the end of our lives.
DM-To which denomination do you adhere? Because all the one's I've spoken to in the past consider their first and foremost principle the right to decide for themselves what is taught in Scripture.
Will-Now, the finer details of that can be debated until the sun goes down, but the basics are all the same.
DM-You've written a list of things that you consider the principles. But I doubt that you can get a consensus of those principles in the Protestant community. For example:
Since Protestants adhere to the idea of justification by faith alone, I doubt that most would consider the ideas of repentance and baptism as basics of Christianity.
Will- If your church teaches you to form your own relationship with God the Father and his only-begotten son, then how can anyone fault it?
DM-If by that you mean that one can claim a relationship with the Father and the Son and then declare himself saved by his faith alone, I can fault it by the very Teachings of Scripture that they contradict.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

It's the 'Christian faith', not the 'Catholic faith'. Catholics adhere to the Roman expression of faith in Christ. Protestants adhere to a Germanic, Weslayan, or other expression (not Orthodox) expression of faith in Christ.

Patrick's being a little disingenuous about the issue of idolatry.
Roman Catholicism has adapted in the US, but in Latin America and other historically Roman Catholic societies, where Catholicism was the dominant religion for many centuries, the praxis of saint and relic veneration cannot not be called idolatry. Patrick's argument that there is no idolatry in Roman Catholicism is really hard to make in the Philippines and in Latin America, where people have engaged in all sorts of rites relating to graven images and shrines. There's a culture of devotion to saints which definitely fits the bill of idolatry, in the historically Catholic countries at least it is that way.
Declaring Mary to be sinless is problematic. Praying to her is problematic. Bowing down and praying to images and shrines is problematic. Thinking that the dead religious figures have superhuman faculty so as to hear the prayers of millions of people is problematic. Designating Mary an empress and co-redeemer is hugely problematic. Patrick himself was driven to apologetics of Roman Catholicism through criticism of it and living in a predominantly Protestant country. But in Roman Catholic countries, the dynamic was very different. There was less self-criticism and less reflection about many of the RC practices that truly were overtly idolatrous. Not to mention the huge level of intolerance even into the 20th century of other faiths. Protestant America was way more tolerant of Roman Catholics than Roman Catholics were of Protestants.
The big growth of protestantism in Latin America has been largely due to the fact that a more transparent Roman Catholicism was experienced, observed and seen by people, and the discrepancies between Roman Catholic praxis and the Bible are more apparent and more overt.
Do you think JESUS will be pleased with you when you disrespect and insult His Mother Mary?

Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude and courage. Wherever the issionary goes, in whatever part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. The local people must understand what the missionary is saying to them. The missionary must get the Word right to the people! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yuriy Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language. This excellent book will give you answers how to correctly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book answers many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. Good luck with your important work!
Hi. If you are a missionary, just be sure you have the right message! My concern about Catholicism is that they preach a different gospel than what the Bible teaches. For example, Catholics believe that, in order to be saved, a person must be baptized and take communion in the Catholic Church church. They also teach that a person cannot know what their standing with God is until they stand before Him in judgment. How can you live in such insecurity?
Yet, I know that I am saved. For example, I was raised by my atheist father and I did not hear the gospel until I was 17. Shortly thereafter, I walked onto the lawn of the church one night and, looking up at the cross on a steeple, asked God, "Do you want us to honor the cross?" Then I prayed, "Is there Jesus? I would like to meet Him!" I extended my hands forward.
I saw the Lord descend the last couple of feet to the earth, a white silhouette. I could see the outline of His robe. He took a step and took my hands. Instantly, I felt heaven all over and it felt like my heart was made out of gold. I walked away thinking, "That was heaven, but I am on earth. What is heaven doing on earth?"
At the time, I had not read a Bible, so did not know Ephesians 1.14, that the Holy Spirit is our 'down payment,' our assurance of salvation or that, "The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God" (Romans 8.16).
Since that night in the Spring of 1977, I can honestly say that I have not had even one second of doubt that I know Christ and am bound for heaven - not even for a second! I have what is called 'absolute assurance.' Yet, I am not presuming I am saved, but I know it because of my close friendship with the Holy Spirit.
Sadly, Catholics believe a different gospel. For example, Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved," but Catholics preach that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic baptism MIGHT be saved." Remember Paul's warning, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed."
May you be filled and have total confidence in your eternal destiny through a close friendship with Christ! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
@@kenshiloh So, despite what Jesus commanded and Peter and Paul preached about, you are saying that Baptism and the Eucharist is not needed.

I tell people that, in 44 I have not had even one second of doubt that I know the Lord and am bound for heaven - not even for a second! Yet, I did doubt my salvation about 40 years ago. How are these two statements not contradictory?
About 40 years ago, my dad, who was abusive, told me, "Not even God could love you." I thought, "Yeah, you are probably right." Yet, before I could even finish that thought, the Holy Spirit flooded my soul, reassuring me that I am loved and accepted through the Cross, through the blood of Christ. A while back, for fun, I timed my 'period of doubt' and my best estimate is 0.34ths of a second! That is how, for 44 years, I have not had even one second of doubt - because my 'doubt' lasted less than a second!
Get to know the Holy Spirit and you, too, will have absolute, 100% assurance of your salvation! The Lord said, "Ask and you shall receive." Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
@@georgepierson4920 Hi. I have an answer for the Scripture verses that you gave. However, what do you do with Romans 10.13? Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." Yet, Catholics believe, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion might be saved." How do you reconciles these two very different gospels?
One Catholic said that I was 'cherry picking. If this is cherry picking, then is Paul 'wrong'? Is there 'more to it than that'?
I met one honest Catholic who said, "Sounds like a contradiction. I will have to look into that." Yet, he never wrote a follow up. Other Catholics, such as yourself, find other Bible verses that, what, 'contradict' this verse?
Yet, Paul said that anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. No baptism mentioned, no communion. Just as Christ said, "Ask and you shall receive." He also said, "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks of Him." Again, ask and receive! You can know the Lord just by asking and, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent."
Back to my original question: what do you do with Romans 10.13? Remember, Paul wrote that anyone who preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." I hope that you will get to know Christ! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

One and only true Church catholic Church founded by Jesus
Its not. Jesus never taught the disciples praying the rosary and bowing to statues or purgatory
@@willneverend777 he also never taught them sola fide or sola scriptura. Jesus never wrote anything down, so all of the Bible was written by human hands. But before we get into that, we need to establish the bigger picture first: how do you believe we go to Heaven? Remember that the salvation of souls is the whole point of Gods relationship with His people.
As for the other false allegations you’re making: 1. The Church does not and has never taught statue worship: this is addressed in the video of you even bothered to watch it; 2. Purgatory was indeed believed by the early Christians but it may not have been called that. They certainly believed in an intermediary place where the soul would be purified before entering Heaven, and it’s also found implicitly in the Bible; 3. The Rosary is simply a litany of prayers that ARE Biblical and is a meditation on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. The history of the Rosary is fascinating and there are miracles associated with praying it, I believe. The litany developed as a result of Our Lady presenting the Rosary to St Dominic in an apparition. It was not a completely new invention at that time either, as early Christians used knotted prayer ropes to keep an accurate count of the Psalms they prayed.
@@willneverend777 Check out book Pope Peter. If papacy is true, we all should be Catholic. Papacy is true.
@@willneverend777 Google “Which church did Jesus start?” Catholic!!! Refuted!!
@@willneverend777 ,
Amen!
Protestantism is built on fallacies. Sola scriptura, despite scripture not telling you what books comprise scripture by itself and requiring the church to discern with guidance from the Holy Spirit what is scripture. Sola fide, despite faith alone being repeatedly condemned in scripture. Ignoring how Catholic Christianity consolidated scripture, dogmatically defined the Trinity, and the hypostatic union of Christ.
Protestantism would not exist for the treasures of faith it poached from Catholic Christianity.
Did you know that there were already Christians long before the catholic pagan church?
@@willneverend777 Long before Christ? Christ founded the Catholic Church.
@@chase371 FALSE. Catholic started in Rome. Jesus has never been to Rome
@@willneverend777 Catholic just means universal. Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom to Peter, who started the church. The only way the Catholic Church could not be the true church would be to say Jesus lied when he said the gates of Hell would not overcome it. Catholicism was the only Christian denomination for 1000 years, determined the Bible and most Christian theology that was ripped off by protestant's subsequent. You have no idea what you are talking about.
12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
(1 John, 5)
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Ephesians, 2)
4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
(Titus, 3)
The entire Bible is about God's mercy to us by his grace alone. You cannot earn heaven you are insane if you think you can save yourself. I believe the BIBLE. it's GODS WORD. the pope is a fallible man and I plead, don't go to hell with him. You can have grace through faith alone. Just read the Bible! It's in every single book. The gospel of grace.
It is very simple to be saved and takes only a minute to explain. Please let me show you how to get to Heaven from the Bible, God's Word...
Man is a Sinner in the Eyes of a Holy God.
Isaiah 53:6, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”Romans 3:19, “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”Romans 3:10, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.”Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
There is a Price For Our Sin―Burning in Hell Forever.
Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”2nd Thessalonians 1:8, “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”Revelation 21:8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Jesus paid that price by dying on the cross and shedding His blood; Christ was buried and bodily rose again the third day!
Romans 5:8, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”1st Timothy 1:15, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”1st Peter 1:18-19, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ...”1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” This is the Gospel.
By faith in Jesus Christ ALONE we are immediately saved.Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”John 11:25, “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”John 6:40, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”1st Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”
Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a Person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Simply BELIEVE the Gospel and You Are Saved!
Thank you so much
Jesus is enough. Be in christ under one head which is himself. Don't compromise him.
Protestants compromise him by making 40,000 artificial sects with false doctrines that disagree on basic beliefs.
@@t.e.a.r.3429 Catholics embrace universalism. That you can get to God through buddah..etc. Christ is the only way. To those who know it. I don't have a chism of doctrine but wholeness of christ.
@@anthonybardsley4985 No Such Catholic Doctrine exists. You spout heresy.
Catholics believe that Only Christ's True Teachings through his Only True Church handed down from the Apostles and Early Church Fathers and Saints teaches the Correct Doctrine on Faith & Morals.
@@anthonybardsley4985 Christ is the Only Way to The Father. And his Teachings he handed down to Apostles and their Disciples are present in his One Church established by him on Saint Peter.
Protestantism is based on a Subjectivist Understanding of the Bible and NOT on a Singe True Interpretation. This is why you have 40,000 differents sects of Protestantism can't agree on a single Doctrine because there exists no way to establish Truth. The Catholic Church has the Fullness of Truth which the Protestants lack.
Why settle for what is enough?
Can any Catholic explain why we are able to come "boldly before the throne" of the Almighty?
+Tim Spangler Because of the blood of Jesus. Bye now.
+Prancer1231 Done. XD
+Prancer1231 BINGO...it is NOT because of works.
Of course that's true but as believer's in Christ we are all redeemed allowing us to freely give back to our savior, with love and thanksgiving by being living testimonies that the Lord God, our Messiah had redeemed us on the cross and rose again, and with that we owe Him our lives. We make him the center and allow him to make us do the works of His will. Of course works aren't required to be saved by Grace, but if one has the opportunity and ability to do God's Will, would it not be best to do good Works in Jesus' name? It is by Grace that we are saved, not solely by faith apart from works, or solely by Faith apart from Works. There.
You: "Of course works aren't required to be saved by works, "
I'm thinking you were intending "grace" or "faith" at the end.

You're using 'your interpretations' to come to conclusions that ur right when, in fact, scripture reveals ur ideas are contradictory. The Bible says that "no man has ascended to heaven" John 3:13 & "ALL have sinned" Rom 3:23, & "no one is truly righteous" Rom 3:10. Can u still say "except for Mary"?. No one knows if she'll even make it to heaven, ("believers go to the grave at death, where they "sleep" until the resurrection I Cor 15). The Bible never mentions that Mary 'ascended' yet the RCC uplifts her as a queen - of heaven, a co-redemptress - equal to Christ, & a mediator. “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus”1 Tim. 2:5 See: "Roman Catholicism vs Biblical Christianity" AND "The Roman Catholic Church vs the Bible". RCC doc's that contradict the Bible will never have more authority than God, that's why "the world will pass away but never His Word" Mt 24:35
