The bottom line is Catholicism isn't a Christian doctrine. It has superseded God's Holy Word with it's own "sacred traditions." Any time the Catechism and God's Holy Word disagree it's the Bible that's wrong, NEVER the Catholic Church. Mary is elevated to position and authority that only God has. She is called the mediatrix, only Yeshua is the Mediator, she is called "Most Holy One" only God is the Holy One, at least according to His Holy Word. In the Catholic Cult, a piece of bread is Yeshua and it's sacrificed at every mass every day all around the world. God's Word says that He died ONCE for ALL. Also His Word says that when Yeshua returns to Earth EVERYONE will see Him, He isn't a mysterious piece of bread that is re-sacrificed 200,000 times a day all around the world. However, if you show most Catholics this they will tell you that you're wrong, meaning God's Holy Word is wrong. Anytime someone does this it's a sure sign of being involved in a cult like LDS JW's and RCC. God Bless!
Mike, read 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and you will see that the Church's sacred traditions are on a par with scripture. We don't elevate Mary to the same status as Jesus----we consider Jesus to be God Incarnate and Mary just a human being. And Jesus made it clear that Holy Communion is literally His Body and Blood at John 6:48-69. Jesus' Body and Blood are sacrificed in the Mass in the sense that they are offered up to God the Father before Communion but Jesus does not die all over again. The Church teaches that Jesus died but once.
As a former Catholic I am very familiar with the Catholic church's teaching. The Catechism teaches many doctrines that go against what the Bible says. As far as the Catholic church "wrote" the Bible is not true at all. Most of the Bible was written by what would be called Messianic Jews. Catholics pleas just read the New Testament and compare it to the Catechism. You will find these differences to be shocking. Jesus is your only hope.
"As a former Catholic I am very familiar with the Catholic church's teaching. The Catechism teaches many doctrines that go against what the Bible says" Mike, perhaps you could name one ... the one that conflicts with scripture the most in your opinion.
"Most of the Bible was written by what would be called Messianic " Question Mike: When was the canon of the NT affirmed? Where? By who? And do you believe that they were infallible in saying that ALL 27 books of the NT are God's Written Word, no more, no less?
Hi T.H.S. and I agree The Truth has spoken, that truth is Jesus Yeshu! I would love to share with you various paragraphs from the CRCC. Let's start with Paragraph 841 that states "The plan of Salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham" So according to the CRCC Muslims are saved because they are desendants of Abraham. Jesus says in Matthew 3:9 " And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." If you can show me a practicing Muslem (SIC) that will say Yeshu is the Savior I will then be able to show you a Christian not a Muslem. Please get back to me I have many other references I'd love to share with you. In His Name.
TruthHasSpoken Hi again T.H.S. Please also look at Paragraph 969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix." First Mary doesn't "bring us the gifts of eternal Salvation." That is something only God can do and He did it in earthly form as Yeshua. Secondly and equally disturbing is giving Mary a title on God has (the Catholic Church does this a lot) by calling Mary "Mediatrix." Yeshua is our ONLY Mediator See Acts 4:12, Psalm 54:4 Hebrews 9:24 and 7:25, 1John 1:21 1Timothy 2:5
Mike W ""The plan of Salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham” Have to read this whole passage on what the Church teaches, including but not limited to, para #847. Key words of note…. Through no fault of their own…. MAY achieve eternal salvation. #847: “This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too MAY achieve eternal salvation.” Good summary of Catholic teaching is here: www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/what-no-salvation-outside-the-church-means Excerpt is here. Again, Catholic’s profess that those who never have had a chance to know Christ MAY be saved. This is consistent with Scripture below: “This teaching is consistent with Jesus’ own teaching about those who innocently reject him: "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin" (Jn 15:22). But once a person comes to know the truth, he must embrace it or he will be culpable of rejecting it. We see this in Jesus’ words to the Pharisees: "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains" (Jn 9:41). What do you profess Mike, that one MUST come to faith in Jesus Christ in order to be saved?
I, too, was raised Catholic & got out 43yrs ago. I have never looked back. I have been set free from religion & now follow Christ Alone & His Word...Jesus is the Word. Thank you for speaking the Truth with love.
ManAboutTown ...thank you for this! I have often thought that I wouldn’t be surprised if my name was still on the books there at the Catholic Church. I wouldn’t want to lie by telling anyone that I am an atheist, but to tell them that it’s far more important to me that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I know I will feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I’m not sure where I was baptized at 6 weeks old, but I do know it was the Los Angeles diocese. That’s the place to start I think. Yes...it’s about time I close this chapter of my life since my faith in the Catholic Church died 43yrs ago & my Life in Christ began. Thank you again!
You might have been raised Catholic in some sort of nominal way but you could not leave if you truly knew and practiced your faith ... Half hearted and ignorant Catholics drift away Smart protestants like theologian Dr Scott Hahn come to Catholicism and people like Ex UK Prime Minister join Gods Holy Catholic Church .
@@1234poppycat …I’m pretty sure that you don’t know anything about my life. I don’t remember you from my CCD classes, nor the 12yrs of Catholic schools that I went to. I truly knew & practiced my faith until I read the Truth found in God’s Word. Jesus is the Word after all. When I held up Catholic doctrine to God’s Word, it didn’t line up. Catholics believe in the Trinity, but that is about the only doctrine that lines up with Scripture. Purgatory, infant baptism, Mary as co-redemptrix & co-mediatrix, prayers to dead people (Mary included), the rosary, the Pope, celibacy of the priesthood, Transubstantiation, confession to a priest, the scapular (nothing but a good luck charm!) tradition equal to the authority of God’s Word (!), the immaculate conception, the assumption of Mary….just to name a few of the discrepancies. Oh yes…. I certainly did practice these until God shed His Light on the Truth, then I could no longer believe the lies. Now I also have to differ with you if you think that Scott Hahn is to be held up as a “smart theologian.” This is laughable to those of us who truly know the Bible. He is a former Presbyterian minister. I’m sorry, but the Presbyterian church isn’t much different than the Catholic Church. Same liberal thinking plus the liturgy is identical, minus the Eucharist. Scott Hahn was never born again, and it’s unfortunate, but Scripture teaches that “God has blinded the eyes of the unbeliever to keep them from seeing the Light of the gospel.” 2Cor.4:4. “They know not, nor do they discern, for He has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, & their hearts, so they cannot understand.” Isaiah 44:18.

I agree with you. Without Christ, I am lost because I am drowning in sin. As long as I am in this body, I will sin. But now that I found Christ, I know he truly loves me even though I am imperfect. I had to choose which Holy Father to follow. I want the Holy Father in heaven, where Jesus and the Holy Spirit resides. I also am a former Roman Catholic. I trust Jesus alone. Please pray for me.

Amen Wil liam, I too grew up as a Catholic. My dad, who was a Deacon for the Catholic Church, taught me that the Bible was a myth. It wasn't until I became a Christian, a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, at the age of 33, that I came to the truth that the Bible is indeed the word of God! The Bible does NOT teach the Catholic doctrines of Mary, purgatory, sainthood, the RE-sacrifice of the mass, infant baptism, etc., etc., etc. The Holy Spirit has led me to the truth of the word of God and that truth has set me free. I am saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. 😇
You are the one like that and always sin and profess again and again to a human .do you think that a man can forgive your sins ?do you think he is holy without sin?think about what you said...

acts 3 verses 20, 21 also says as plain as day that Jesus remains in heaven til He comes again to set all things right.....that proves He is not in the eucharist....
Acts 3:20.21 states that Jesus is in heaven and will remain so But being God he is also in the Eucharist (John 6 + 14 other scripture) Are you claiming God the Son of God can not do that and that the bible conflicts with itself ?? Truth is the Eucharist is God fulfilling his promise in John 6 which is supported by 14 other scripture .... You see it is the Catholics who are the true bible believing Christians !
it took 60 years for the penny to drop..and i realized what the church was.....i threw out all my statues, holy pics, rosaries etc etc....no qualms what so ever......thank you God
Catholic Church is the one true Church of Jesus Christ, you may have rejected the Church Christ established but with the same time there are top-notch protestant scholars and historians who have rejected their false man-made heresy of Protestantism and embrace the fullness of the Christian faith which is the Catholic Church.

Now that we have settled the fact that God's Holy Word teaches us that Yeshua is the ONLY mediator and that the CRCC teaches that Mary is ALSO a MEDIATOR. Showing the first of many contradictions between Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. Let' s move on to more blasphemous Mariology. In paragraph 2677 it says "...we address ourselves to the "Mother of Mercy", the All-Holy One." !!! Yes you read that right. Mary is called the "All-Holy One" notice the capitol letters, when all holy and one are capitalized it is a name, they aren't just random words describing a condition. Now God's Word uses this name also only it's used to address the CREATOR, the Lord God Almighty! See Psalm 22:3, 78:41 Proverbs 9:10, 30:3 For a religion to give a sinful creation the same name as the LORD God Almighty is blasphemous and another sign of a cult.
So sorry for you ... What is "Catholic Tradition " ? It is all the words and work of Jesus and his most ardent followers in Worshiping and proclaiming God . Jesus the Christ. Out of tradition we have the bible compiled in 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo. We have the trinity -- not in the bible but acknowledged by 90% of those who call themselves Christian ... If not Catholic then WHAT ? Which of the 35 000 protestant versions ??? Ask yourself why Jesus would want such division and confusion ?? Ask yourself why prominent protestant theologians and leaders like Dr Scott Hahn are converting to Catholicism and intelligent eminent people are turning to Catholicism (Tony Blair ex UK Prime Minister ) and why Catholics are developing a deeper faith and proclaiming it more to the wider community (Melinda Gates etc) ??

Next in the almost endless list of unbiblical teachings of the RCC is "transubstantiation." This doctrine teaches that the "eucharist and the wine actually become Paragraph 1376..."the substance of the body of Christ our Lord." Catholics are taught that Paragraph 1366"The eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies it's fruit:" Paragraph 1367 "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the eucharist are one single sacrifice. The victim is on and the same:" OK, so now Yeshua is a victim, that is not true! Yeshua could have not sacrificed Himself. He ALWAYS was in control even to the point of deciding when He would die. John 19:30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. Paragraph 1371 goes on to say "The eucharist is also offered for the faithfully departed who have died in Christ but are not yet wholly purified, so that they may be able to enter into the light and peace of Christ." WOW!!!! God's Holy Word says the EXACT opposite we read in 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. You will note that God promises that His blood cleanses us from ALL sin. God Bless and stay in His Word.
While I agree with most of what you said, merely leaving the Catholic church saves no one. Leaving the Catholic church isn't any different than jumping off of a sinking ship and into the raging waves, but not coming onto the life boat which is Jesus Christ. With that being said, I think the most deadly false teaching of Roman Catholicism is the venial sin doctrine. For example, a Catholic may believe that while stealing a million dollars is a mortal sin, that same Catholic may think that stealing only 5 dollars is a venial sin which does not incur eternal punishment. The best starting point in witnessing is to ask them if they're a good person? If they say, yes I am, show them God's standard of goodness which is moral perfection and explain how lust is the same as adultery, and hatred is the same as murder, and stealing anything regardless of value are all sins punishable by death. No one can know sin but by the law. The Law is meant to show everyone their guilt and how they need to trust in Christ alone for salvation. Then if and when they see their guilt, show them what Jesus did to save them, and repentance and faith in Christ is what's necessary for salvation.
I am not Catholic. I got these ideas from Joe Mizzi's Just For Catholics sight where someone who left the Catholic church thought Mizzi woukd rejoice and he didn't. He was more concerned about Catholics trusting Christ alone for salvation and leaving the Catholic Church was a secondary matter. Mizzi's sight is Just For Catholics.
NZ92673 " While I agree with most of what you said, merely leaving the Catholic church saves no one. Leaving the Catholic church isn't any different than jumping off of a sinking ship and into the raging waves, but not coming onto the life boat which is Jesus Christ. " That's the same analogy that Mormons teach their members who are following a doctrine of devils. Jesus is not in the Catholic church because it is full of idolatry and pagan rituals and traditions. The Jesus in the Catholic church is secondary to Mary. She is worshiped and statues of her and the dead saints are bowed to and venerated.
from what you posted and the subsequent comments it is the blind leading the blind !! So you went on a site in which a critic of Catholicism is interpreting Catholic classification of sin. Basically there are sins that are serious and others less so But all have to be forgiven and worked on so as we say in Confession "as not to sin again" It is certainly mot Catholic teaching that some are OK !! Nowhere in Catholic teaching over the last 2000 years does it say that !!!
Dear Bro in CHRIST, Mike, keep preaching n sharing from The 'manuel' of every christian The Holy Bible -"Sola Criptura". I am a former Roman Catholic!😰
Mike W "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness," Catholic's say a big "Amen" to this Mike. But this verse does not say that all of what Christians are to profess and belief is found in scripture alone. Nor does it say that scripture is the final authority.
Mike W No Catholic doctrine contradicts scripture Mike. What does contradict scripture: - Salvation by faith alone - Sola Scripture (not taught anywhere) - Symbolic baptism - Symbolic Eucharist. All these contradict scripture AND they contradict what the Church has taught for 2,000 years.
Isnt it strange how catholics defend their church but not God's words found in an Authorized Bible, if they read their bibles only without Rome's telling them what to read and believe they would come to the knowledge of the truth that Rome is leading them to hell, no purgatory straight to hell.
You're saying the Catholic Church leads its followers straight to hell?... that if people would read the bible they'd find this out??? I assume you believe the bible is the word of God??? Do you know that the Catholic Church wrote the bible? How do your reconcile this oxymoron? I don't believe its God's word because it says that Jesus is a god of love, but also that we'll all "must come before the judgment seat of Christ," for him to probably condemn most of us to pain and suffering in eternal hell... Do you believe we were all created by God? Do you believe God is perfect? If we're temples of God...and even if we make mistakes, do you think an all powerful god could fix an imperfect soul? Of course! If the Roman Christian god condemns imperfect souls to pain and suffering for all eternity...that's not 'punishment...' That's what Satan does... That's the fundamental flaw of all Roman Christianity...Catholic or Protestant. It's part of the reason why the church is dying... Barna Religious Research found that less than 5% of young adults believe in the Satan brimstone judgment scenario of Roman Christianity. The church says if you don't believe in judgment you can't be a Christian. So the church is killing itself. That's why I'm a spiritualist...so I don't have to be oppressed by all this irreconcilable church psychobabble.

Also an interesting habit of the RCC is to give names to their idols when God's Word specifically says not to. Take for instance the title "Queen of Heaven" that the RCC gives to Yeshua's earthly mother. Compare that to Jeremiah 7:18 and 44:17. Also strange is the RCC calling their spiritual leaders "father" even though God's Word says not to see Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Also in line with this is the title "pope" which translated is for papa. It seems like almost everything God's Word tells us not to do the RCC goes ahead and does. 1 timothy 4:3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Sound familiar? The RCC forbids it's "fathers" to marry and so it ends up with a bunch of homosexuals and pedophiles leading these churches.

Jesus is not mediator" You have no idea what you believe. Look at what you said. You said Jesus is the only mediator and then you said Jesus is not mediator.
Billy, when you read the New Testament, do you find a gazillion different denominations each one preaching a different gospel, or do you find one united Church?
BDV JACK ...the church recorded in the Book of Acts is called The Way, named after Jesus who is the Way the Truth & the Life. No where in the Bible is any church named Catholic or universal.
Your pedophile church didn't exist while Jesus and Peter were alive. YOUR satanic cult was founded more than three hundred years AFTER Jesus and Peter alive.
I love all of your videos, especially this one, but please allow me to proffer this one very vital point: salvation is clearly spelled out in the 1st 4 chapters of Romans plus 5:1. It is presented in this way: Romans 1:18-3:20 is the charge that all are guilty and we are told to shut our mouth because there is no excuse; Romans 3:24-26 is the heart of the salvation message in that one can be freely justified by God through believing in Jesus and having faith in His blood alone for the propitiation of sin; Romans chapter 4 tells us how Abraham was fully persuaded that he was righteous because he believed God by faith and not works; Romans 5:1, "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
I have about ten bibles in my house including the KJV bible Even the KJV bible has 98% of the true Catholic Bible .. Ask yourself .. What is "Catholic Tradition " ? It is all the words and work of Jesus and his most ardent followers in Worshiping and proclaiming God . Jesus the Christ. Out of tradition we have the bible compiled in 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo. We have the trinity -- not in the bible but acknowledged by 90% of those who call themselves Christian ... If not Catholic then WHAT ? Which of the 35 000 protestant versions ??? Ask yourself why Jesus would want such division and confusion ?? Ask yourself why prominent protestant theologians and leaders like Dr Scott Hahn are converting to Catholicism and intelligent eminent people are turning to Catholicism (Tony Blair ex UK Prime Minister ) and why Catholics are developing a deeper faith and proclaiming it more to the wider community (Melinda Gates etc) ??
As far as is 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 being the same event as Revelation 19:15-21 it doesn't read like it to me. Therefore Yeshua would be returning to earth twice. However, it really doesn't matter one way or the other. It isn't a salvation issue. The salvation issue is what Yeshua do you follow? Do you follow the Yeshua of God's Holy Word or the Yeshua of the catechism of the RCC? The Yeshua of God's Holy Word is the only Mediator to God, He is the only Sacrifice acceptable to God, He was sacrificed only once for all. Hebrews 7:27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself. 28For the Law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the Law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.…( MAN, that describes the Catholic eucharist sacrifice perfectly!) This is just another example of the unbiblical doctrine of the cult of Catholicism. God Bless.
you actually said ""Do you follow the Yeshua of God's Holy Word or the Yeshua of the catechism of the RCC? "" The catechism is not an alternative or something different to the Word of God .. The Catechism has 2000 bible references and explainst the belief and interlinking scripture like no other book ... It explains in detail why the sacrifice of the Mass is TO Christ and the 14 scripture passages that support the Mass ... I can see you have not read the Catechism so why criticise it ?? You do not know !! Still time for you to come to Christ in HIS Catholic Church
@@1234poppycat I left the RCC in 1979 and became a Christian in 1986. I know more about Catholicism than 90% of Catholics. If you'd like I have several questions you can answer. I see you didn't refute my statements taken directly from the RCC Catechism and compared it to God's Holy Word. Hope to hear from you.
@@mikew8486 you have not identified any difference between the catechism and the bible You gave no statements from the Catechism .. Have another try but try to be focused.
Do not be deceived. Do you honestly believe you're going to get into Heaven without doing any good works whatsoever? What did Jesus say in Matthew 25:31-46? Why are the Goats going to Hell? And "indulgences" are in the Old Testament. It's called the Sacrificial System where you "pay" to have your Sins forgiven.
The List: Recieve Sacraments. Sacraments are Graces given by Christ, you do not do them, you recieve them. Sacraments are not something we do, it's something we recieve. You might as well say, "The Catholic Church say you must recieve the Holy Spirit to be saved" Which is exactly what you do when you recieve the Sacraments, of which, the Mass is. You need to go to purgatory: To Suggest that a Catholic must go to purgartory implies again that it is something a Catholic does. Where is the Bus to Purgatory? Purgatory is another Grace, it is in fact the Grace of our final Sactification another free gift from God, from Christ to his Church. To suggest in any way that a Catholic must go to purgatory is sugesting that the Catholic decides to go there, or that they might not be fully sanctified when they die. The sad Part is, Protestants, even those who teach heresy like Mike Gendron, believe in Purgatory. They will tell you that when they die God Sactifies them (BINGO) that is Purgatory in a nut shell. Catholics must do Good Works: Doing works of Charity is the result of being in Christ, no work done by Catholics is done on their own, rather Catholics, being unified as one body in Christ, do the works of Christ. If you claim to be a Christian and do not do the works you are called to do, well, “ you got some splaining to do Lucy” You must keep the Law: As I couldn't listen to anything else, I'm not sure what law he means. There are many laws that we must keep. Catholics must attend Mass every Sunday and day of obligation: (you betcha). Yes this is true, we keep the Lords day Sacred or at least try to to the best of our ability. It is an important practice to worship God, it is also a requirment to attend Mass. We should never put things before the love of God, when we decide to do so, we sin. It is not a burden to attend Mass and we do not do so for Gods needs, we do if for our own needs. I'm a faithful Catholic, I hear this stuff all time, it is the deception they said was to come. Mike Gendrons is a deciever like so many, none sharing hte same Gopel message. Wolf in Sheeps Clothing.
ManAboutTown Red Herring No Faithful Catholic would leave Christ because a devil entered the Church. A faithful Catholic would fight it, and that’s what we are doing. Those who leave the Church for another Gospel, could never have been a true believer especially considering the evil that comes from our misguided separated brethren. Talk to me about child abuse when you can answer for the far greater occurrences in the Protestant and Non-denomination (which is the same) churches. Clean your own house before looking at mine. We are cleaning ours.
You say you’re a faithful Catholic, but you don’t appear to know the Bible. Example, you don’t know what is meant by The Law???? Catholics learn catechism not scripture, and they place tradition equal Scripture. You know how to do all the gestures, repeat all the liturgy . . but do you know and commune with Jesus??? He’s hard to find in the Catholic church; He competes with statues, Mary, beads, saints, traditions, holy water, Mary, martyrs, visions, Mary. And more Mary.
Robert Curtis forgive and forget ...like Jesus does.....so Moses , David, Solomon, Abraham, etc... we must not follow them either wow you do not know your bible ....Show me scripture of your catholic dogmas and Doctrine...if you cant then your in a cult ..you need to give me at least 3 scriptures to verify what your doctrines are and in context... you never have before so why are you still bashing true word of God people. Without scripture and Gods...Doctrine
Robert Curtis so all the Bible you call a Whoremonger cause most and probably all have done just as Bad... So you are labeling Sin....oh ...ok thought All SIN is a SIN...we all fall short... So as long as it is not public it is OK...HMMM....so as long as men do not see what you do in the dark it is ok...You have it bad if you can not forgive and forget.. you will be accountable for all the hate and grudges and malice you hold against one of His...or anyone for that fact Do not let anger or malice or Hate or forgiveness go down with the sun at the end of the day...(paraphrased) Oh so the bible is wrong when we forgive and forget...They did turn back to the lord and all the fruit is shown....if no fruit it shall be thrown in the fire...Hello... ARE YOU GOD.... sounds like you want to play one ..your fruit show nothing you have none...you hate ...you have no forgiveness...you label sin like one is worse then the other..it is not...sins of the heart are just as bad as the sins of the flesh... you like to play God and you will be cut down to size...sorry you are a hater a backbiter , etc...read Romans why don't you...HELLO.... if I told all my SINS to you, you would probably Hate me to and say I was not a Christian...We all fall but also we have Jesus to pick us back up...and yes few do refuse to be put back on their feet...for crying out Loud if you are perfect and Sinless you must be a God....only God /Jesus is that....not Mary not you Not I not my wife not anyone...But Jesus Son of God and God the Father and Holy Spirit... you must live on cloud Nine to think and Act the way you do...(oh holier then all )...wow a Murderer can become a preacher , or a adulterer, or a rapist,, It is all the same sin as a liar, or a thief , etc...all the same... If we did not sin God would not need us think about that...We would not need God... Looks to me your thinking is like that... Bible is full of Sinners that God used what makes you so perfect.... your POPE said so or something ...you still never gave biblical scripture of your dogmas and doctrine Of your Catholicism ... it shows that you are bottle fed and not eating the meat...Good day... Hope you repent of your hatred toward everyone ...
Ppl don't realize how heart-rending to admit your religion was wrong, but not feeling comfortable in a Protestant religion because of lack of solemnity.

A lifetime of study confirmed for me that Jesus' message was only about love...and that he never threatened us with eternal damnation. Do I have facts supporting this? No, but as a Christian Spiritualist, I have enough information that I can take a very short leap of faith that Christ was only about love. Here are examples of things I've learned to help me not fear the "Roman," biblical concept of a wrathful, vengeful depiction of Jesus. Tertullian & Clement said these things that helped me to keep believing that Christ was only about love, and not hate. “A Love Without Conditions” Clement(2nd century), describing the Christians said…‘He impoverishes himself out of love, so that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need, especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother.’ When a devastating plague swept across the ancient world in the third century … Pagans were throwing infected family members into the streets… to protect themselves… while the Christians cared for the sick, at the risk of contracting the plague themselves.” “At no other time in the history of Christianity did love so characterize the entire church as it did in the first three centuries… Tertullian (200AD), reported that the Romans would exclaim, ‘See how they love one another!’ This was all original Christianity was. It’s all that Christ intended it to be. These Christians didn’t risk their lives for any church brimstone threat. There was no judgment, Satan, hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in original Christianity. This was all the pagan religion the Romans merged into Christian belief before the Romans commandeered the faith. The Church claims Christ founded the Catholic Church...? When? While they were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years. ” The Romans founded that religion at Nicaea 325AD and published the bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.” It stands to reason that original Christianity would have been Jewish!... Roman Christianity was created later by the Romans for their larger gentile world. Can I prove any of this? No, but there is enough historic information for me to connect the dots to the truth... A truth that I only believe... Yes, it's a leap of faith without proof... but it's enough so that I can still believe in a loving Christ...not a paganized judgmental, vengeful Christ that Roman Churches threatens us with... “When Constantine became Emperor of Rome, he nominally became a Christian…but being a sagacious politician, he sought to blend Pagan practices with ‘Christian’ beliefs, to merge Paganism with the Roman Church. Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.” Truly, the Jewish Christianity of Jesus was only about charity, compassion, and brotherhood. The brimstone threat didn’t happen until 300 years later after the Romans exterminated Jewish Christianity and commenced their new “Roman” paganized version of the religion....establishing your Roman Catholic Church...The cruelest and most murderous institution in western history. Like Jefferson and Lincoln warned us, the Catholic Church perverted everything that Jesus Christ wanted religion to be. Since the Romans seized the religion, their Roman Christianity has caused more war and suffering than any other institution on earth. If Catholicism ever had any connection to Jesus, it forfeited that privilege ages ago. Jefferson wisely said, “The church perverted the purest religion ever preached by terrifying the masses with brimstone for the purpose of gaining wealth and control.” And further that, "Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." Paul was credited by the Church for founding "Justification of the faith," =JUDGMENT...the curse of the Roman Catholic Religion. It's anti-Jesus fear based religion. This is why Christian Spiritualists ,like myself, say, "Jesus Yes, Church No!" “Joseph Ratzinger (pope) quit his first seminary because it conceded that there were two separate and opposing Christianities in the second century. The first was the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus and the second was the Roman gentile Christianity of Paul. They noted that Paul was indifferent to the teaching of Jesus, and the opponent of the religion of love Christ came to announce to the world.” Catholic Encyclopedia “Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic) www.wrmosb.org/paul.html I'm not trying to convert you, because Christian Spiritualists don't do that... I just want you to understand why 24% have left church for Christian Spiritualism. (Parade Magazine Poll 10/09 Issue) Brad O'Donnell
Brad O'Donnell ...Jesus meek & mild is only a half truth & that myth has created a generation of coddled Christians. One only needs to read the Book of Revelation to see the very real other side of Jesus...the King coming in judgment. In Mark 16:16, Jesus Himself says, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Jesus says in John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, -- He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” Jesus says in Matthew 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” So...these words came from Jesus Himself & no one else. BUT...I do agree with you that in the early church, Christianity was a sect of Judaism. The New Testament was a continuation of the Old, as Jesus did not come to start a new religion. Jesus even uses the very “I Am” name for God, “Yahweh”, which was considered blasphemy & is why He was crucified. He said “I am the bread of life.” “I am the resurrection and the life.” “I am the way the truth & the life.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” “I am the door to the sheepfold.” Etc. Jesus even said in John 10:30, “I and the Father are One.” So Jesus is God & there is no difference btwn the God of the Old Testament & the New. I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness as He had to put up with idolatry & plenty of sinful behavior. But the one thing I wanted to clarify is the term “justification”. I am not a righteous person. The Bible says that “my righteousness is like filthy rags” in Isaiah 64:6. In Hebrew, the language that this was written in, the term filthy rags means “menstrual cloths”! That’s what all of our righteousness, or right behavior, looks like. In other words, I have NO standing before God. But when blood was shed to atone for or cover sin once a year, that person now had right standing before God & was considered righteous. That atonement was “credited” to that person as righteousness. In the New Testament, Christ’s death atoned for all who would come to Him. His atonement, His blood that was shed, was credited to me as righteousness. So that is like “just as if I’d” never sinned...credited to me, imputed to me, makes me justified...NOT condemned. “There is now NO condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1. I stand before God on judgment day in right standing, righteous & justified b/c I have “believed on the Lord Jesus & am saved.” Acts 16:31. I just wanted to clarify a few things. And the only reason believers want to share the Good News of the free gift of eternal life is b/c how loving or kind would it be to have the answer for eternal life & not share that with you & everyone we come in contact with?
@@melindabloom7281 You say, " there is no difference btwn the God of the Old Testament & the New." And, you said, " I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness as He had to put up with idolatry & plenty of sinful behavior..." The New Testament references God as one of mercy, compassion, justice, and love. Let’s consider three categories of Old Testament texts that are hateful, cruel and morally problematic: "Crimes for which God prescribes the death penalty... *God’s anger and wrath in punishing his own people, and *God’s command to the Israelites to commit genocide. *The death penalty. There are numerous “crimes” for which God, through the Law of Moses, requires the death penalty. Among these are sacrificing to a god other than Yahweh (Exodus), persistent rebelliousness on the part of a child (Deuteronomy), a child who hits or curses his or her parents (Exodus), working on the Sabbath (Exodus), premarital sexual intercourse (Deuteronomy), and the requirement for a priest to burn his daughter alive if she became a prostitute (Leviticus). God’s anger and wrath in the Old Testament, God’s anger repeatedly burns against his people for their disobedience. At times, the punishment he dispenses is consistently harsh, unjust, and disproportionate. Let’s consider just one example. In 2 Samuel 24, we find the punishment for David’s sin: “The Lord sent a pestilence on Israel from that morning until the appointed time; and seventy thousand of the people died.” David made a decision that did not please God, and God killed 70,000 Israelites for it? How could this action ever be reconciled with a God of mercy, compassion, justice, and love? " "Joseph Ratzinger (pope) quit his first seminary because it conceded that there were two separate and opposing Christianities in the second century. The first was the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus and the second was the Roman gentile Christianity of Paul.

Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.” (hope-of-israel.com) I appreciate all your bible quotes, but the bible was written by men and is NOT the Word of God. Biblical "Roman Christianity" was created when the Romans commandeered the Jewish Christianity of Love in 325 AD when the PAGAN! Roman Emperor Constantine had Jewish Christianity merged with his Roman PAGAN religion Mithraism. Dec. 25th- sun god solstice birth date, Easter/Estros from "Estrogen" fertility (eggs/bunnies), brimstone/judgment/Satan, virgin birth and the trinity were all old pagan religion merged into what Constantine wanted for his compromised new Roman state religion and codified in HIS bible that HE published. The Romans always needed a religion based on fear, and Constantine saw to it that his version of Christianity would terrify and control them with pagan brimstone. Your Roman Christianity is heavily paganized and IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD. Question: Why do you quote these bible passages in this Middle English language? “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved..." "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life..." "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” He that heareth and believeth on him, ye cursed... I'll tell you why you and the Church use this language... Sadly, you brainwash and intimidate ignorant people that these are the actual language quotes from Jesus, Moses and God. This is offensive to educated people who know this is the Middle English language of Shakespeare, used 1500 years after Christ in England! Christ never uttered a word of this pompous language. It's so sad that you try to intimidate the vulgar uneducated masses with this tripe. “A Love Without Conditions” “At no other time in the history of Christianity did love so characterize the entire church as it did in the first three centuries… Tertullian noted that the Romans would exclaim, ‘See how they love one another!’ Clement, describing the Christians said…‘He impoverishes himself out of love, so that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need, especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother.’ When a devastating plague swept across the ancient world in the third century … Pagans were throwing infected family members into the streets… to protect themselves… while the Christians cared for the sick, at the risk of contracting the plague themselves.” (www.earlychurch.com/unconditio... This was all original Jewish Christianity was. It’s all that Christ intended it to be. These Christians didn’t risk their lives for any church brimstone threat. There was no judgment, Satan, hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in original Christianity. This was all the PAGAN religion the Romans merged into Christian belief. Thomas Jefferson wisely said, "The church perverted the purest religion ever preached by terrifying the masses with brimstone for the purpose of gaining wealth and control." Bishop John Spong concedes "The church has always been in the guilt producing, control business, and dangled us between their imaginary heaven and hell as a control tactic." Maybe you could consider accepting Jesus for his only true message...his Two Commandments. They only taught the world that all pagan wrathful, vengful religion was wrong...that God was only a god of love and compassion...and that we should only help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Christ never reversed to intimidate the world with Roman biblical brimstone. Roman Christianity corrupted his message of love, like Jefferson said...to gain the wealth and control of the masses. Truly, Brad O'Donnell
Brad O'Donnell ...I agree with your understanding of the pagan Roman system that Constantine merged with Christianity to become the Catholic Church. You use Scripture verses to make your point, but then tell me that it’s not the Word of God. Then what is the standard? And why did YOU use it to make your points but tell me it’s written by men? So you can quote the Bible when making a point but I can’t use it to make mine? AND THEN...you asked me why I used the old English language to quote from & then proceeded to answer that question for me with your own lies about why I used it! Really? Well obviously you don’t know the answer to that question & it has absolutely NOTHING to trying to intimidate anyone, but certainly says a lot about your arrogance. Again, I agree with everything you said about “religion”. Religion has absolutely corrupted Christ’s message & the Catholic Church used purgatory to keep people under control then used indulgences to fund their greed. The entire Book of Galatians speaks to being freed from the bondage of “religion”, but you don’t want any biblical answers. Like it or not, Christ died for His church...warts & all.
@@melindabloom7281 You said, " I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness." This delusion is why I quoted the bible to illustrate for you that Old Testament rarely depected God as loving or compassionate... Mostly wrathful and vengful. Judaism is well established as a wrathful religion...and, oddly, it is the basis for Christianity. Roman Christianity clearly paints God as a bifurcated, dichotomy of love and hate, vengeance and fear. I believe this is a major reason that the church is dying. A perfect god can not be both. Barna Research shows that less than 6% of young adults believe in Satan/brimstone/judgment... and for very good reason. Love and fear are opposites. Roman Christianity is conflicted and self defeating because of the Roman pagan fear that the Constantine force fed into Christianity. It's the opposite of Christ's two Commandments. Christianity Today Magazine concedes in “Christ vs. Paul” article that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith...' (judgment); Christians have sometimes reduced Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' was never the teaching of Christ." www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/december/9.25.html?start=2 “ Thomas Jefferson said, "Revelations had to have been written by a mad man." We agree that "Christianity was a sect of Judaism." You doged my question, "Why do you quote scripture in Middle English?" It's not the vernacular now. Ministers do use it to intimidate the ignorant. Roman Christianity of your church is an evil twisted perversion of the message of Jesus. The bible you believe to be the Word of God, was published by a pagan Roman emperor for the purpose of halting the infighting in the crumbling empire that was destroying his empire. He had Nicaea completely re-write the religion to make it palatable for the Roman pagan population. It's far more pagan than Christian belief. If you could be transported to the second century you would not recognise "Christianity." There was no trinity, no brimstone judgment/justification, no virgin birth, no Dec. 25- sun god solstice birth date (new year rebirth of sun god!), Easter/Eostre/Estrogen fertility eggs/bunnies rites. Most churches did not recognise Christ as a god or the son of god. The church depends that no one will be smart enough to learn these facts of history. The Protestant Church is the same Roman Christianity as the Catholic Church. Protestants condemn the Catholic Church, but still believe that the Roman bible, which was produced by paganized Catholics, produced the "Word of God" bible. Protestanism hasn't burned millions at the stake, but it still intimidates the masses with brimstone for wealth and compliance. Ergo, it is also the opposite of the religion of love that Christ came to announce to the world. All Roman Christianity is the opposite of the message of Christ.
Brad O'Donnell ...first off, I didn’t dodge your question. I chose not to answer it since you so smugly THOUGHT that you answered it for me. Your idea of a “perfect God” is where we differ. So let me ask you this...is murder ok? Or rape? Should people who commit such crimes be punished? How should they be punished? What does love look like when dealing with such matters? **My answer to this is.....of course sin has to be punished. So again... I ask you, how should sin be punished? What would that look like coming from a loving God? God has to punish sin. He is righteous, just, & holy. And God did punish sin...by putting that sin of murder & rape on Jesus, the innocent. The exchanged life has been going on since Genesis, when God let Adam & Eve go free, but took the life of an innocent animal instead. God had to teach them that sin is painful. Sin has to be painful or no one would ever understand that murder or rape is wrong. So we have to have a God who is the “perfect” balance of love & justice. How loving is it to let a murderer walk free? It might look loving to the murderer for sure, but certainly not loving or just to the victims. I’m sure Adam & Eve thought that God was loving as He let them walk free. God chose to assume that curse, or the consequences of their actions, in the life of Christ when Christ took on the sins & the punishment that should have been theirs/mine. I think that is beyond loving. It is far more loving than I would have ever done. It all depends on how you look at it. As for the Bible...the Catholic Bible, the Douay-Rheims translation, was translated from the original Hebrew in the Old Testament & Greek in the New Testament to Latin. Now that is where the mess began. Latin was never spoken by Jesus or His followers, or anybody except the priests & the extreme upper class of people. But basically, Latin was already on its way out & was/is considered a dead language. And why would Catholics do that? Answer...to make sure NO ONE understood it so they couldn’t read it. That is what the reformation was about, & why people gave up their lives for the right to be able to read God’s Word. But since that time, Tyndall, a language scholar, Luther & others began translating the Bible straight from the Hebrew & Greek into English & all other languages. I don’t use the Douay-Rheims translation because of the Catholic/Latin influences that are incorrect. Plus I am not Catholic...anymore.
Here is Number #12 CCC460 The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature":"For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." "For the Son of God became man so that we might BECOME God." "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods."
By the way, do you realize that according to the qualifications for being a "true apostle" which you cite in Acts 1:21-22 that Paul does not qualify? Yet you claim him in the same breath to be a true apostle according to this criteria he does not meet--as do most Christians. How can this be if Paul does not meet these criteria you just cited?
Paul does not qualify ..wow Jesus appointed Him on the Road....do you not remember the true Story about Saul and turned into Paul...By Jesus Christ Himself...wow you are loopy...Disciple's choose one that God/Jesus probably did not want so Jesus/God choose Paul...Also He met all the requirements or the criteria ... if you do not recall He was And He even recorded to them to the others that did not believe he was changed ....you do not believe Gods Word. If you take out part of the Word you reject Him in all...
Mike himself said in this video that Acts 1:21-22 establishes the criteria for a true apostle, and he said according to this criteria only Matthias and Paul qualify. I was just correcting one of his many errors, since Paul obviously qualifies outside this criteria.
jpenrice it does what is the problem...true church is in Acts also and it is not Catholic...and Catholics did not canonize the bible it was already done before they put it to Latin to suppress the true word of God to the world... God hates evil and false churches so do I...
Paul is a separate Apostle for the gentiles.🙏😇💖 Maranatha 💖 Remember that there's 2 different programs of Salvation. God paused The Tribulations until all of the gentiles and Jews to be saved under Grace, and it will start after The Rapture that will start Jacobs Trouble and the Salvation of Israel 🕎✡️💖 Maranatha 💖 Revelation 21:9-27 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bible.kingjamesbiblelite
thank you 4 this vid. was crying at end. I had been confirmed catholic since 1995. in year 2000 I discovered eastern orthodoxy. I had looked at church history. I repent of my sins. I was going to become eastern orthodox, but orthodoxy has many similar things about them as Catholicism. couple years ago, I had a dream vision. the messenger was my late godfather, a catholic deacon. he told me to become a minister. I have recently thrown away many catholic n orthodox items into the dumpster. I have some items that I do not worship, that just hangs around to be religious art. I had seeked monastery living but said monasteried had turned me away because my age, mentsal n physical disabilities. fer decade I felt guilty fer not joining monastery just after high school graduation day. I wish to be an evangelical pastor. I hope veterans affairs pay my pastoral training. I did on online ordination thingy so far. mom asked God fer me promised to return me to be servant of Christ. mom told me that's why I feel close to Christ. please do vid explaining next steps Catholics n orthodox need to do on this new journey.
Dear Kenneth, your request touched my heart, so I googled "How to become a lay pastor," and there are many online resources. The first step is to belong to a church and then find out that church's requirements, as they are all different. God bless you.
So in your dream your deacon godfather RIP told you to be a minister ! Deacons in the Catholic Church are called ministers are ordained and also called like priests "Reverend" So he would be guiding you to that !! You would need to brush up on what is Catholicism as you said about things catholic Worship In the catechism it clearly states what has been the rule for 2000 years "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)"
BTW people......try and find a good older style bible possibly from second hand shop etc, as i have heard from good sources that the powers that be are changing certain words or passages in the new ones.
Only the Lord decides who goes to heaven. I grew up Catholic and left the church but others in my family never left the church. My mom died a Catholic and I'm sure if she didn't go to heaven no one is going. I'm Lutheran today and believe Christ died on the cross for all us and if you believe him you will go to heaven.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty , don't care what you or anyone else believes. I figure to be honest there is no one who is right and no one is wrong when it come to relugion as it is personal to each.
If I were to insult my neighbor, I've committed a venial sin. However, were I to murder my neighbor I'd be guilty of a mortal sin. Don't tell me these sins are on a par. No intelligent person would believe that. And God isn't an idiot.
Robert Berthaut Read James 2:8-11 “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.” James 2:8-11 NKJV Then read 1 John 3:13-15 “Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” I John 3:13-15 NKJV Then read Jesus own words. ““You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.” Matthew 5:21-22 NKJV God isn’t an idiot, we agree... He is HOLY and righteous though...He must punish all sin with death unless we are covered by Christ’s blood he shed for us once on the cross. Be blessed!,
Robert Curtis you twist and use scripture out of context... You can not discern when Jesus is talking in Spirit or Flesh or figurative etc...John 6 is talking about living for Him and He was talking in Spirit. Not Flesh.. Not literal , But in Literal Spirit Form...Sorry but truth is truth.. Gods Truth.. not a pope or Dogmas or Catechism teaching.. You still never gave me scripture of what I asked for a year now. So I guess The truth stands on the Word of God. not your interpretation of Mans and pope.
Robert Curtis Its not mine it is scripture and it is Gods Word ...We do not interpret it. We listen to it. Hello denominations pick and choose what they want out of it.. Then put other Traditions , dogmas, etc.. to it ...But what does the Bible say, It says do not add.. you hate us cause we love God The true Jesus of bible. Your war is not of flesh but of the Spirit. You are convicted by the Spirit that is why you lash out at me and all that appose your Catholic church. Just face it you will see when you die...Heaven or Hell ..There is no Purgatory To finish the purge of sins ..Jesus did it all on the Cross... Show me scripture if you can...
Robert Curtis My spelling the you tube site has spell check . it already fixes misspelled words.. Plus my voice activation on IPhone does the same thing. you just attack when you cant provide scripture. Your war is with God not me your fighting the Spirit world. No scriptural proof of the CCC ...If there is then show us , those that see the Word of God as for what it is... We do not add or take away scriptures like your so called Catholic church does.
MOVIEMAKERSIII ok, here is proof with scripture, a direct quote. This passage proves Jesus Christ gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins, the sacrament of confession. Don't accuse me of twisting scripture, as you always do. This is a direct quote. To put in context, this occurred after Jesus Christ rose from the dead and appeared to the apostles as they were hiding in the upper room. john 20:22-23 "And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'" Ok, Moviemaker, now you can explain away Christ's words. Tell me He did not mean what he very clearly said.
MOVIEMAKERSIII I think you need to go back to 5th grade and learn how to communicate in writing. I can barely make out your ridiculous, nonsensical arguments. By the way I don't hate anybody. Are you really a preacher??? I would love to hear you preach. Do you preach like you write????
I was discussing the biblical Mary with a catholic, she said that it was not possible for Christ to be born of a sinful woman like the biblical Mary, but it was POSSIBLE for the catholic Mary to be born sinless from her SINFUL parents. Used the argument that she was saved before she was created by God. But if that’s true, then every follower of Jesus Christ should be sinless also since Paul wrote that we were saved BEFORE time or the creation of the world( depending on which version you read) So it was possible for Mary to be born sinless from sinful parents but not Christ who existed sinless before time, who is and always has been sinless
The proof of the Immaculate Conception is actually in the greeting of the angel in Luke 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. The term used to Mary is "Kecharitomene" perfect passive participle of "charitoo" [charitoo (verb) comes from the same Greek root of “charis” - which means “grace” and charitoó means to fill or endow with grace] or in other words: "Hail, one who has always been full of grace" To make it more clearer, "kecharitomene" is the perfect passive participle tense of the verb meaning "to fill with grace," Because it is in the perfect participle tense, it means that Mary was already filled with grace and there is no room for sin in her before the Annunciation, the implication being that she was the immaculate! No other character in the bible was called kecharitomene except for Mary. The Angel Gabriel is not speaking his own words, rather he is delivering God’s message to her. Therefore, Luke 1:28 points to Mary being without sin at the moment of her conception.
@@GR65330 I understand everything you are saying but you are missing my entire point. This person was saying Jesus could not be born of a sinful woman but yet Mary could ? So someone infinitely lower than God can do something that God could not do. As for your Greek points. I understand that also but the same Greek is used to describe Stephen also and no one says he was sinless. You are interjecting what you want it to mean, and that opinion goes clearly against scripture.
@@doug1863 The word that described Stephen wasn't the same Greek word that the angel used in his greeting. In Acts 6:8, Stephen is described as "pleres charitos" literally "filled up with grace" meaning at that moment, he was full of grace. The term used to Mary is "Kecharitomene" which means "one who has always been full of grace." They have the same root word “charis” but have different applications. Her immaculate conception was part of God's plan where she was redeemed at the moment of her conception. She was the first to receive the saving grace of her son.
@@GR65330 again you are ignoring the point of my OP. As for the biblical Mary and the catholic mary, if you believe the rcc mary was sinless because of kecharitomene , then all followers ofChrist are sinless as Eps 1:6 says. The only other passage that uses the same word As for Stephen, it wasn’t just at that moment as he was performing miracles and signs of wonder, can you please tell me what passage says the same of either Mary? In addition there are the usual passages of scripture that clearly state ALL have sinned which was written AFTER Mary lived. In addition Kings say “ there is NO ONE who has NOT sinned “ That’s it for me and Mary. My OP ;the person claims it was “ impossible for Jesus to be born of sinful Mary, but yet it was possible for mary to be born sinless from sinful PARENTS. That is heresy.
Good job being totally wrong! Jesus started the Catholic church in 33ad. All protestants are not part of the church that Jesus started! They protest the very church that Jesus started! All protestants follow a church that was started by a man, not Jesus. Check out the book Why We Are Catholic by Trent Horn. A very incredible book! Check it out! Blessings!
The Catholic Church is the One True Church founded by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is the mystical body of Christ and the mystical bride of Christ. Therefore outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation. "He who does not have the Church as a mother cannot have God as a Father." --St. Cyprian
The Church claims Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church... When? While the Romans were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years.” Rome hated the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus. The Romans founded Roman Catholicism at Nicaea 325AD and published the Roman bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.” "Christianity Today" Magazine explained in their article, "Jesus vs. Paul," CT concedes that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith, judgment... Christians sometimes reduce Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' or judgment was never the teaching of Jesus Christ." ChristianityToday, 12/2010. “Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic) 325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. After 325, Constantine's "Roman" Christianity became the oppressor... oppressive because it condemned all other religions as abominable heresy, forced conversions, inflicted torturous inquisitions, genocide, Jewish and Muslim slaughter, crusader conquest and endless religious wars for Roman Church domination. The original Christianity of Jesus was only a religion of love he came to announce to the world. Roman Catholic Christianity was based on brimstone fear. Fear is the opposite of love.
@@bradodonnell5547 Jesus was in the process of founding the Catholic Church all throughout His public ministry. He appointed Peter to be the first pope and the other apostles to be the first bishops. He have the Church her worship service at the Last Supper. But the Catholic Church counts as her birthday Pentecost Sunday, when the Holy Spirit came and began to dwell in the souls of the Church's first members. Century after century goes by and the doctrines of the Church never change. This would be impossible with a merely human organization. Yes, the pagan Roman Empire persecuted the early Catholic Church, producing many martyrs. Did you know that almost all of the first 32 popes were martyred by the Roman Empire?
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh You quote bible passages as though they are factual history... They're not. It's all mythical folklore story telling by creative Jews and Syrians...then codified into the Roman bible by the PAGAN Emperor Constantine to grip the masses with fear of his newly fabricated single state religion... the Roman Catholic Church. The 25 most renowned historians of the Middle East in the first two centuries wrote enough history to fill a small library, but never mentioned Jesus Christ... If a man was walking on water, raising the dead, feeding the masses, or leading the masses, don't you think some historian would have mentioned it? Appian Petronius, Arrian Phaedrus, Aulus Gellius, Philo-Judaeus, +21 others wrote nothing about Christ. According to Remsburg, “Enough of the writings of the authors named remains to form a small library, yet in this mass of Jewish and Pagan literature, aside from two forged passages in the works of a Jewish author, and two disputed passages in the works of Roman writers, there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ.” “When Constantine became Emperor of Rome, he nominally became a Christian, but being a sagacious politician, he sought to blend Pagan practices with ‘Christian’ beliefs, to merge Paganism with the Roman Church. Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.” (hope-of-israel.com) Rome was crumbling in the 4th century mostly from Pagan infighting. Constantine sought to establish a single state religion to quell the civil wars. You say, "Christ was in the process of developing the (Roman) 'Catholic' Church." The "Catholic" title came in the 4th century, from the Greek word for "Universal" for Constantine's objective of establishing a single state religion. Constantine chose the "Christian" template, but transfered most of Rome's pagan religion into the altered universal "state" Christianity to persuade the pagan citizens to accept it. Before 325 AD, possibly half the churches did not accept that Christ was divine. They worshipped Jesus as a prophet. There had been no judgment, Satan/hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility (eggs/bunnies) or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in paganism. The first Christmas was celebrated in 325 AD. It was overlaid on the sun god's Dec. 25 birthday so the pagans would celebrate it, as they'd celebrated that pagan festival for thousands of years. They had to put a halo over Jesus and sun bursts behind cross symbols so the citizens would see Jesus as morphing from their Sun God. This was all the pagan religion that wasn't part of original Jewish Christianity. In 325 AD, at Nicaea, "Christianity" changed, morphed, evolved more quickly than any religion ever did. What about the succession of supposed popes? The Church has admitted that there's nothing tangible, carbon datable, that they or anything about "Jesus Christ" existed in th efirst two centuries.. 325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. Rome made original “Jewish” Christianity illegal and executed all Christ's followers for 300 years until Constantine. There's no way Christ could have founded the murderous Roman Catholic Church.
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh I do believe in Jesus Christ... but you neglected to call your religion by the full name... It's formally "Roman Catholic Christianity." It has to be identified as "Roman" to differentiate it from the original Christianity..."Jewish Christianity." Jesus was Jewish, and his followers were Jewish while he was alive. Jesus had no aspiration to make a religion for the greater Roman Empire. 325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. Rome made original “Jewish” Christianity illegal and executed all Christ's followers for 300 years until Constantine. There's no way Christ could have founded the murderous Roman Catholic Church. It was only a religion of love Jesus came to announce to the world. He never had anything to do with the Romans who executed him and all his followers for 300 years, and wouldn't have anything to do with Roman Catholicism now that has a history of being the cruelest and most murderous institution ever. Fortunately, the secular world controlled Catholism so it can't burn us alive anymore.
Roman 6:1-2, 12. Read the verses again and again and loudly. If you keep sinning, you are throwing away the grace. Say you are a drunkard. You must Work on being a non drunkard. If you are an adulterer, you must Work on being a repentant adulterer and not keep on being one after you say "I receive Jesus as my personal savior." You are a cheater. Read the verses again. Its not enough to just to receive the grace. You must also align your life and way of life to the grace. Otherwise, you are trying to cheat on Jesus.
Plus God through the scriptures is how we interpret it. Called the Holy Spirit. The one inside of us. You have to have other books to go by I just use the Bible. How many years are you going to be hard from keeping the truth away. And how many are you leading stray. You must see and read and examine like a Berrean. It is war against God you have not me. Read scripture right.
Moviemaker, All protestant church's started with Martin Luther, 1500 years AFTER Jesus Christ. How do you explain that????????? The catholic church started with Jesus Christ and the apostles.

MOVIEMAKERSIII moviemaker, when are you going to let me preach at your church? what are you afraid of?????????? I will tell your flock the truth of the Holy Catholic Faith.
The problem with the two major generic camps of Christianity is that each tediously declares the other in grave error and destined for damnation. It's this attitude that has resulted in nothing but conflict, persecution, and death. And as for scripture, its not as old as is generally believed; and, it contains many questionable things. Don't listen to me. I'm certainly no biblical scholar. However, what I do know is that there are far better scholarly sources for information about the bible and related beliefs than what's posted by any church affiliated group including this one.
Our host would has us believe that 1.2 Billion Catholics are destined for damnation. A cheerful though! Does you suppose Hell is big enough to accommodate so many good people whose only mistake is to follow Catholic doctrine. Is God as petty and unforgiving as the narrator of this clip would have you believe? Nah!

*The first key for Mike in witnessing to Catholics is to prove to them that they are worshiping a piece of bread.* To do this, Mike can't depend on his own fallible interpretation of scripture. He must show evidence. He must show who in history agreed with his fallible interpretation of scripture. The apostles taught their descendants. The descendants taught their descendants. The Christian faith spread world wide within a very short period of time, within a 100, 200 years. Many of these early Church writings exist (300+ early Christian writings in fact) It should be easy - a snap actually - for Mike to provide evidence of who in the early Church and where they lived, agreed with his interpretation of the Lord's supper. Just cite the source document. He has a hundreds of early Church writings as reference. ( or perhaps Mike hasn't read them and knows not what they professed and believed; this included Catholic Bishops who affirmed what was, and what was not, Sacred Scripture. In Mike's theology, they knew what was scripture, without error, but knew not how to interpret it )

Why do you need a label? It’s not about what religion you claim, it’s about knowing Jesus walked among us as God in the flesh. He told us to repent, believe in and follow Him . . He left us words to govern our lives, taught us to pray, taught us to love Him and one another, and to spread the Gospel.
No, the bottom line is Catholics do not need to leave the Catholic Faith. The only person going to hell is someone who did not repent of a mortal (serious) sin upon death. IF Catholics were ignorantly in the wrong faith - but they are not! - they would not go to hell because of ignornace.

When a child is taught religious instruction, the child never forgets what they were taught... even if the child, later on chooses to go to another religion. The comments here, they are always have wrong Catholic teachings, they argue they are saved.. Mike go save yourself. This is another way for them to DECEIVE the readers, its done as Propaganda...... catching the readers and planting seeds of doubt into people's minds... THIS IS A HATE campaign against Catholicism. Shame... l pity you all.! May the Lord Jesus protect all those they have a set out to to deceive... in the name if Jesus Christ! I
Why are people like this so sure that Catholics are going to hell if they don't leave the church? Isn't that judging? Didn't Jesus himself say judge not lest you be judged?Also, which of the 33,000+ denominations are we suppose to go to? No thanks, I'll stay where I am-Catholic and proud of it!!!
I don’t think he said Catholics are going to hell . . it’s not about the label you wear. It’s about knowing the Bible, what Jesus taught about repentance, following Him, making Him Lord of your life . . not following traditions of men, vain repetition of prayers, believing you’ll go to heaven because your wear a certain label.
I am a Ŕoman Catholic, and all you have said is nothing but heretical. It is the Protestants who have taken books out of the Bible. Even the devil believes that God is God...but refuses to obey Him. God bless you and change me!!
If you can understand the following, you can begin to understand sacraments. Think of a person you love very much. Imagine they could never physically touch you. Imagine your relationship was purely spiritual, with no touch. They couldn't even hold your hand or put an arm around you when you need encouragement--a purely spiritual relationship without touch. Would you feel something was missing? Physical touch is necessary for us (studies of newborns who are not held confirm this). It's just as important in our relationship with God. Because we are not purely spiritual beings, we are physical as well and need to be touched by the ones we love and who love us. God knows this. That's one reason he took on human flesh--and the Gospels tell us people longed to touch him. There is no more intimate relationship you can have with another than for your body and blood to become one with theirs. This is what Ephesians 5:31-32 is about. The Eucharist is where Christ and his bride--the Church (Isaiah 62:5)--become one flesh. If you can understand this, you can begin to understand sacraments. They're not something we do--they're something Jesus does for us, his beloved bride.
umm are you catholic???? I walk and talk with Jesus/God everyday I touch Him ...He touches me ....He lives inside me and I in HIM.. Christians do not mix psychology or even science to Gods word. For it is Gods Word we do not need another answer...Gods Word is all we need with a Relationship ...
Robert Curtis the Church is the being the one Who follows the Word of God .The one that is following by faith through Grace.. We walk with Him and Talk With Him ...Just like the song..ONE God ONE Faith the true followers where and never Roman Catholic OR orthodox Catholic.. nothing is in the scriptures do you not listen to truth..Robert Curtis
Many people are trying to work out formula for salvation. In fact, there is no formula. Forgiveness from God is base on his mercy. Obedient Christian do not means saved. Lousy sinner does not means unsaved. We never know one another salvation in the future. Debate God's word is judging people salvation. "I'm saved because i live holy." "I'm saved because we are saved by Grace." Those words are self-declared saved. Only God can judge. No one knows. It is just a believe that you are saved.
Perhaps Mike Gendron can explain HOW he knows ALL 27 books of the New Testament are God's Written Word, and that no books that have been left out, are not? Mike, what's your answer here?
Thank God, Jesus delivered me from this evil (catholic) witchcraft church! Catholic church is SO evil to the core!!! There is a spirit of witchcraft that's holding catholics bound...chained....to this evil false church! Outwardly looks holy...inwardly it's satan's playground....that's the truth...sadly!!!
All I need to know about salvation is COMPLETELY stated in the New Testament! There's NOTHING that's lacking...or in-complete in the New Testament Book! 2Tim 3:16 -" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!"
TruthHasSpoken 2 Tim 3:16 is NOT AT ALL Catholic.....far from it!!! If it were, there WON'T be idolatry etc...going on in the catholic church! To your question....I already replied to it...and that is (I REPEAT)... All I need to know about salvation is COMPLETELY stated in the New Testament! There's NOTHING that's lacking...or in-complete in the New Testament Book! Did you miss it??
Wait a minute---according to Protestantism all one needs is faith in Christ. Catholics have faith in Christ. Therefore, according to Protestant logic, all Catholics must be saved!
Scripture does not claim that it is your most trustworthy authority for truth and practice. In fact Scripture says that the Church is the pillar of truth. I'm 15 seconds in and you are already contradicting Scripture! So you left Christ for the bible. You left the Eucharist, the Mass, the sacraments, the only church that Jesus ever established. He established it on Peter and there is only one church established on Peter and you left it! So there can be no confusion. And Jesus said that he would be with his church forever and then he promised that the spirit of truth would also be with it forever. Therefore, anything that you say from this point forward which challenges a Catholic doctrine is a challenge both to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit. I'm only 40 seconds in at this point and I see that you are on satan's team. Well this is long enough for now. Maybe I'll come back later for my next 40 seconds.
Christ did not establish the Roman Catholic religion lie. Jesus was a Jew, and Rome is anti-semitic, The church Christ founded consists of all born again believers, not some instution created by sinful men proclaiming themselves to be in God's stead when they are whitewashed sepulchres, teaching for commandments the doctrines of sinful men., the whore of Revelation 17. If catholics truly started reading their bibles only they will soon discover that what Rome teaches is not of God.
@@lindaellis4183 You said: Jesus was a Jew, and Rome is anti-semitic, Me: That why the church saved some 860,000 Jews from death at Hitler's hand during WWII? Funny way to show anti-semitism! You: The church Christ founded consists of all born again believers, not some instution created by sinful men Me: I agree. That's Protestantism. But the Catholic Church was ESTABLISHED by Jesus upon the backs of sinful men serving him. Jesus established it with leaders, authority, and power. It is not a make believe group without foundation. As for born again believers, they do not accept Jesus' church so they are really NOT believers in Jesus. In fact they contradict his teaching repeatedly. You: If catholics truly started reading their bibles only they will soon discover that what Rome teaches is not of God. Me: Every heretic supports his heresy on the back of HIS interpretation of Scripture. Tell me, where is the Protestant Catechism in which we may find what the official teaching of your faith is? It does not and cannot exist. It started in rebellion and continues in rebellion today. It is not of God.
@@theextreme7134 See my answer above to Linda. "Born agains" cannot produce a doctrine of their faith because they can't agree on it. So much for discernment.
@@bridgefin God already produced the doctrine of faith for true believers, it's called the bible. I think you don't understand the gift of discernment because you are probably unsaved and have never experienced it first hand. The bible is a living word and different people are at different levels of spiritual maturity and understanding in their walk with God, that's why it's sometimes hard to agree.
People who claim to be former Catholic to support their Catholic hate, clearly shows their lack of understanding in Catholic doctrine and the reason why they left is just that, they never understood the Church teachings.
+SMD 014 You were poorly taught (or you are a liar) as you aand this video misrepresent Catholicism.... You will find no authorised catholic writing saying idolise or worship anyone or thing other than God ... In the catechism it states very clearly "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone."Please develop yourself like many intelligent people have ....... when British PM Tony Blaire resigned he continued his bible studies and became a catholic as did Dr Scott Hahn etc Also I was reading an article about a young man who grew up a protestant .. went to Oxford University ... became a catholic before he gained a double first in his degree and has now started his studies in Rome to (eventually) become a catholic priest in the Liverpool Archdiocese in England !! ..... all three highly intelligent .... started in the protestant tradition as committed protestants .... all studied and grew spiritually then answered the call of God.
+SMD 014 Videos like these are the work of Satan ... They lead away those who don't have the spiritual knowledge of the faith in the Gospels and scripture generally. You were not taught by the holy spirit otherwise you would not accept the lies about the Catholic Church as truth ! The Holy Spirit can not lie ... I have given you two famous examples of people who have sought spiritual understanding / discernment ... who have fully understood Protestantism and have become Catholics !!
+SMD 014 I have looked up on Derek Prince ... who tries to carve out some differences between Catholicism and protestants usual claims ... on the body and the blood of Christ he says don't ague with scripture we do in in remembrance [as the Church of England /Anglicans believe] and it is the Actual presence [as Catholics believe] but he claims not only priests can consecrate the bread and wine ..... he leaves out a lot of scripture to get where he was !!
Yes Tieho They could also look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Mike Gendron appears to be very delusional. He deludes himself thinking that he has understood the Scriptures more than the Roman Catholic Church has done in the last 2000 years. This man does not realise that there are millions of Roman Catholics out there including the teaching magisterium of the Church that think this man is terribly wrong and his presumptions are condemnable. He repeats from what he has learned from Luther and other modern day evangelicals. We Catholics repeat what we have learned from the Lord himself.
@ManAboutTown Sir, cast the first stone if you have no sin. Otherwise, you are another holier-than-thou hypocrite. Catholicism is not judged by the behaviour of some pedophile priests. Not even by the good behaviour of other priests. It is judged by its claims and teachings. If human failings are a criterion to judge any religion, tell me which Protestant sect is better than Catholicism.
@ManAboutTown Pipsqueak!? Why do you take yourself so seriously dear? When you cannot make a sensible argument, what do you think of yourself? If Catholics are leaving the Church by the millions, what way are you affected? I care little for your statistics; tell me what you believe. All that concerns me is what the Catholic Church teaches as opposed to the 70000 Protestant sects and cults. Get my point? When it comes to practice, I am not a good Catholic, but that does not mean there aren't very good Catholics out there. Only a blind man or woman cannot see the fact and truth that the vast majority of Catholics are better Christians than most Protestants. Tell me: are you a good Christian? You don't appear to be one. Go, become a good Christian before you poke your nose. And examine what you believe vis a vis Catholics.
Why single-out Catholics? Is catholics imperfect and protestants perfect? Does catholics commit sin and other religion righteous? Is your religion the true religion? There is only one true religion, the one established by Jesus Christ, and He is coming back for the bride. The problem is your belief is different from us. We believe that salvation is not permanent, yes. That's why there will be judgment when He comes back! You are not free to commit sin, basing your belief that He died to redeem our sins, all sins! Mary is part of the Holy Family, the Father, the Son and Holy Mary. If you rebuke Mary, then you rebuke the Holy Family. I am not saying that catholics is better and that you must change your religion. No. We must bear in mind that ALL of us fall short to the glory of God and we are all sinners! So don't play judge as there is only one judge, Jesus!
Don't worry if ur a religion ur an offshoot of Catholicism in other words ur Catholic s so stop lying to yourselves Don't forget all religions aren't practicing the bible but I wish we are all bereans so remember John 17 especially those subtract from the bible to u people who say they left the Catholic faith remember this Once a Catholic Always a Catholic
Dear speaker, you have no idea what you are saying...especially regarding the Eucharist. You never understood your faith when you were Catholic and now you have been turned over to falsehood.
If people would spend half as much time actually learning what the Catholic Church teaches rather than regurgitating lies about it and coming up with their own personal brand of Protestantism, we wouldn't have videos like this polluting the internet. For each time I have heard someone claim to have been Catholic for 30, 40, 50 years and who says they all of a sudden started reading the Bible "for themselves" and "realized" how "wrong" the Church is, I would say that they are either completely lying or that they spent decades being unimaginably apathetic toward their personal growth in the Faith. And I am supposed to believe that suddenly after all that time the "Holy Spirit" spoke to them the "truth" that the Catholic Church is so wrong. It just seems completely ridiculous. The more I see of this kind of "testimony" the more I am apt to believe that the "ex-Catholic" never was Catholic to begin with. They are like Judas.
***** That's fine. I believe that the Holy Spirit speaks through the Catholic Church. But fundies like you don't like Catholics to have their belief, while you can believe the Holy Spirit speaks through Benny Hinn or Jack Chick. Give me a break. If those are the rules, then the Catholic Church can play by them as well as you. So stop being a hypocrite.
+BendyBus Song My dear, your use of the word retarded is highly offensive and insensitive for so many reasons. Do you honestly think that our Lord Jesus Christ would talk like this or approve of such talk. He is the spirit of gentleness. Please, if we profess to be Christians, may we at least try to act like them. You say all anti Catholics read from the same dumb script - you mean the Holy Bible. Please take some time to consider these scriptures and pray for the discernment from the HS. Isaiah 29:13“These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. For you, dear, I pray you to walk with Jesus and find peace in his amazing Grace.
Cherish Elf The same dumb script, as in all these retarded accusations from the anti-Catholic camp. Like you just regurgitate it straight from a Jack Chick comic. As if Catholics have not already addressed these sorts of objections over and over and over and over and over and over again! If anti-Catholics really wanted to understand what Catholicism is really about, the information is out there on the internet, right under your fingers. There you can read and understand, but no, you all just want to start some shit and argue and falsely accuse and pull your "holier than thou" attitudes until the day you fall over dead.
+BendyBus Song I was a practicing Catholic for 40+ years. I went to daily Mass, Bible study, My husband and I were in the Catholic Healing Ministry for over 10 years and I even went to Medjugorje on a pilgrimage. Let me assure you that I know what the RCC teaches. When my father became ill with a very rare autoimmune disease I used this time reading the scriptures and asking the Holy Spirit for wisdom and understanding regarding this rare illness etc... . Shortly after praying and reading my bible..it was like a light bulb went off and the HS revealed to me the truth. Initially I was shocked and amazed at how quickly and how easily I was able to understand the scriptures. After sharing the gospel with my family, my youngest son who was 14 or 15 at the time and my 17 year old looked at me in amazement and said "Mom' How come the Catholic Church never taught us that" They went on and on how the scriptures came alive to them and finally made complete sense to them. Let me assure you that until you come to the wisdom and understanding that the HS reveals to you, you will not see. The blinders need to be removed from your eyes first. Trust me when I say that in no way, shape or form am I a Catholic hater, basher or deceived. Most of my friends and family are Catholic and it is not about that. i know where you are coming from because I practiced it daily. The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to the finished work of Jesus, to true Salvation through Jesus Christ and He, The Truth will set you free. With love in Christ Jesus.
umm right why don't you go into all the churches that preach the truth like them...you do not know this is just part of what they do ..they put this on 4 other channels on TV/satellite...Worldview Weekend is one of them ....Wow ....They are evangelist like me that travel telling people about cults....I for one been to south America , Africa, so forth All Catholic churches bring in the culture of the area. Even if it Voodoo, witchcraft, and so forth ..I have been there and I have seen it all...you need to open your blind eyes..
MOVIEMAKERSIII what do you mean, the romanists "bring in the culture of the area?" Not disagreeing, just curious about what you saw. Definitely, they subsume (and have for 1500 years since their inception with constantine) various "gods" and use the name "Jesus" to express them, probably back to Nimrod
Mike why don't you get off the tube and quit bashing Catholicism and The Blessed Virgin Mary? Mister you are eaten up with jealousy. You need a good psychiatrist! Why must these kinds of people always compare what they're doing to The Catholic Church. The answer: When you're NUMBER ONE a lot of jealous people try to bring you down.
The Church claims Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church...? When? While the Romans were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years.” Rome hated the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus. The Romans founded Roman Catholicism at Nicaea 325AD and published the Roman bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.” "Christianity Today" Magazine explained in their article, "Jesus vs. Paul," CT concedes that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith, judgment... Christians sometimes reduce Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' or judgment was never the teaching of Jesus Christ." ChristianityToday, 12/2010. “Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic) 325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. After 325, Constantine's "Roman" Christianity became the oppressor... oppressive because it condemned all other religions as abominable heresy, forced conversions, inflicted torturous inquisitions, genocide, Jewish and Muslim slaughter, crusader conquest and endless religious wars for Roman Church domination. The original Christianity of Jesus was only a religion of love he came to announce to the world. Roman Catholic Christianity was baeed on brimstone fear. Fear is the opposite of love.

@@mhachankikon9328 Hard to make out this broken English... Are you saying that Jesus prophesied that Paul would convert the larger Roman pagan Empire? And that Nero would persecute Christians?
@ManAboutTown Interesting! Not that I doubt it, but can you show me the reference where you got that "The Coming Home Network" offers bribes to attract to Catholicism?
Your presumption is that the written Word of God is the only authority to establish what is true. But, until you interpret what the bible says you have no meaning. So, on what basis or authority should we accept that you are an infallible interpreter? And you do not understand the Catholic Catechism. You clearly misrepresented it. You are spreading lies. And yes, Catholicism has added tradition to the Word of God. The very canon of scripture is tradition and without it you have no bible whatsoever. You are the one who has been deceived and you are trying to bring others down with you. Sad.
The bottom line is Catholicism isn't a Christian doctrine. It has superseded God's Holy Word with it's own "sacred traditions." Any time the Catechism and God's Holy Word disagree it's the Bible that's wrong, NEVER the Catholic Church. Mary is elevated to position and authority that only God has. She is called the mediatrix, only Yeshua is the Mediator, she is called "Most Holy One" only God is the Holy One, at least according to His Holy Word. In the Catholic Cult, a piece of bread is Yeshua and it's sacrificed at every mass every day all around the world. God's Word says that He died ONCE for ALL. Also His Word says that when Yeshua returns to Earth EVERYONE will see Him, He isn't a mysterious piece of bread that is re-sacrificed 200,000 times a day all around the world. However, if you show most Catholics this they will tell you that you're wrong, meaning God's Holy Word is wrong. Anytime someone does this it's a sure sign of being involved in a cult like LDS JW's and RCC. God Bless!
Mike, read 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and you will see that the Church's sacred traditions are on a par with scripture. We don't elevate Mary to the same status as Jesus----we consider Jesus to be God Incarnate and Mary just a human being. And Jesus made it clear that Holy Communion is literally His Body and Blood at John 6:48-69. Jesus' Body and Blood are sacrificed in the Mass in the sense that they are offered up to God the Father before Communion but Jesus does not die all over again. The Church teaches that Jesus died but once.

As a former Catholic I am very familiar with the Catholic church's teaching. The Catechism teaches many doctrines that go against what the Bible says. As far as the Catholic church "wrote" the Bible is not true at all. Most of the Bible was written by what would be called Messianic Jews. Catholics pleas just read the New Testament and compare it to the Catechism. You will find these differences to be shocking. Jesus is your only hope.
"As a former Catholic I am very familiar with the Catholic church's teaching. The Catechism teaches many doctrines that go against what the Bible says"
Mike, perhaps you could name one ... the one that conflicts with scripture the most in your opinion.
"Most of the Bible was written by what would be called Messianic "
Question Mike:
When was the canon of the NT affirmed?
Where?
By who?
And do you believe that they were infallible in saying that ALL 27 books of the NT are God's Written Word, no more, no less?
Hi T.H.S. and I agree The Truth has spoken, that truth is Jesus Yeshu! I would love to share with you various paragraphs from the CRCC. Let's start with Paragraph 841 that states "The plan of Salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham" So according to the CRCC Muslims are saved because they are desendants of Abraham. Jesus says in Matthew 3:9 " And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." If you can show me a practicing Muslem (SIC) that will say Yeshu is the Savior I will then be able to show you a Christian not a Muslem. Please get back to me I have many other references I'd love to share with you.
In His Name.
TruthHasSpoken Hi again T.H.S. Please also look at Paragraph 969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation. . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix." First Mary doesn't "bring us the gifts of eternal Salvation." That is something only God can do and He did it in earthly form as Yeshua. Secondly and equally disturbing is giving Mary a title on God has (the Catholic Church does this a lot) by calling Mary "Mediatrix." Yeshua is our ONLY Mediator See Acts 4:12, Psalm 54:4 Hebrews 9:24 and 7:25, 1John 1:21 1Timothy 2:5
Mike W ""The plan of Salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham”
Have to read this whole passage on what the Church teaches, including but not limited to, para #847. Key words of note…. Through no fault of their own…. MAY achieve eternal salvation.
#847:
“This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:
Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience - those too MAY achieve eternal salvation.”
Good summary of Catholic teaching is here:
www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/what-no-salvation-outside-the-church-means
Excerpt is here. Again, Catholic’s profess that those who never have had a chance to know Christ MAY be saved. This is consistent with Scripture below:
“This teaching is consistent with Jesus’ own teaching about those who innocently reject him: "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin" (Jn 15:22).
But once a person comes to know the truth, he must embrace it or he will be culpable of rejecting it. We see this in Jesus’ words to the Pharisees: "If you were blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains" (Jn 9:41).
What do you profess Mike, that one MUST come to faith in Jesus Christ in order to be saved?
I, too, was raised Catholic & got out 43yrs ago. I have never looked back. I have been set free from religion & now follow Christ Alone & His Word...Jesus is the Word. Thank you for speaking the Truth with love.
ManAboutTown ...thank you for this! I have often thought that I wouldn’t be surprised if my name was still on the books there at the Catholic Church. I wouldn’t want to lie by telling anyone that I am an atheist, but to tell them that it’s far more important to me that my name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. I know I will feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I’m not sure where I was baptized at 6 weeks old, but I do know it was the Los Angeles diocese. That’s the place to start I think. Yes...it’s about time I close this chapter of my life since my faith in the Catholic Church died 43yrs ago & my Life in Christ began. Thank you again!
You might have been raised Catholic in some sort of nominal way but you could not leave if you truly knew and practiced your faith ... Half hearted and ignorant Catholics drift away Smart protestants like theologian Dr Scott Hahn come to Catholicism and people like Ex UK Prime Minister join Gods Holy Catholic Church .
@@1234poppycat …I’m pretty sure that you don’t know anything about my life. I don’t remember you from my CCD classes, nor the 12yrs of Catholic schools that I went to. I truly knew & practiced my faith until I read the Truth found in God’s Word. Jesus is the Word after all. When I held up Catholic doctrine to God’s Word, it didn’t line up. Catholics believe in the Trinity, but that is about the only doctrine that lines up with Scripture. Purgatory, infant baptism, Mary as co-redemptrix & co-mediatrix, prayers to dead people (Mary included), the rosary, the Pope, celibacy of the priesthood, Transubstantiation, confession to a priest, the scapular (nothing but a good luck charm!) tradition equal to the authority of God’s Word (!), the immaculate conception, the assumption of Mary….just to name a few of the discrepancies. Oh yes…. I certainly did practice these until God shed His Light on the Truth, then I could no longer believe the lies.
Now I also have to differ with you if you think that Scott Hahn is to be held up as a “smart theologian.” This is laughable to those of us who truly know the Bible. He is a former Presbyterian minister. I’m sorry, but the Presbyterian church isn’t much different than the Catholic Church. Same liberal thinking plus the liturgy is identical, minus the Eucharist. Scott Hahn was never born again, and it’s unfortunate, but Scripture teaches that “God has blinded the eyes of the unbeliever to keep them from seeing the Light of the gospel.” 2Cor.4:4. “They know not, nor do they discern, for He has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, & their hearts, so they cannot understand.” Isaiah 44:18.

I agree with you. Without Christ, I am lost because I am drowning in sin. As long as I am in this body, I will sin. But now that I found Christ, I know he truly loves me even though I am imperfect. I had to choose which Holy Father to follow. I want the Holy Father in heaven, where Jesus and the Holy Spirit resides. I also am a former Roman Catholic. I trust Jesus alone. Please pray for me.

William you gave up THE REAL DIAMOND for what looked like a bigger diamond, but what you got was a bigger piece of cut glass!
Amen Wil liam, I too grew up as a Catholic. My dad, who was a Deacon for the Catholic Church, taught me that the Bible was a myth. It wasn't until I became a Christian, a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, at the age of 33, that I came to the truth that the Bible is indeed the word of God! The Bible does NOT teach the Catholic doctrines of Mary, purgatory, sainthood, the RE-sacrifice of the mass, infant baptism, etc., etc., etc.
The Holy Spirit has led me to the truth of the word of God and that truth has set me free. I am saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. 😇
Protestants think freedom in Christ means that they can sin all they want and still go to Heaven.
You are the one like that and always sin and profess again and again to a human .do you think that a man can forgive your sins ?do you think he is holy without sin?think about what you said...
That the truth gets out there. Thankyou!!
Bless you Mike Gendron for your persistence and love for the lost.
dont be deceived by Mike Gendron, the one true faith is the holy catholic faith.

wrong, I KNOW my church, that is the Holy Catholic Church, the one and only church established by Jesus Christ Himself, is the one and only true church.
acts 3 verses 20, 21 also says as plain as day that Jesus remains in heaven til He comes again to set all things right.....that proves He is not in the eucharist....
Acts 3:20.21 states that Jesus is in heaven and will remain so But being God he is also in the Eucharist (John 6 + 14 other scripture) Are you claiming God the Son of God can not do that and that the bible conflicts with itself ?? Truth is the Eucharist is God fulfilling his promise in John 6 which is supported by 14 other scripture .... You see it is the Catholics who are the true bible believing Christians !
it took 60 years for the penny to drop..and i realized what the church was.....i threw out all my statues, holy pics, rosaries etc etc....no qualms what so ever......thank you God
Catholic Church is the one true Church of Jesus Christ, you may have rejected the Church Christ established but with the same time there are top-notch protestant scholars and historians who have rejected their false man-made heresy of Protestantism and embrace the fullness of the Christian faith which is the Catholic Church.

Now that we have settled the fact that God's Holy Word teaches us that Yeshua is the ONLY mediator and that the CRCC teaches that Mary is ALSO a MEDIATOR. Showing the first of many contradictions between Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church. Let' s move on to more blasphemous Mariology. In paragraph 2677 it says "...we address ourselves to the "Mother of Mercy", the All-Holy One." !!! Yes you read that right. Mary is called the "All-Holy One" notice the capitol letters, when all holy and one are capitalized it is a name, they aren't just random words describing a condition. Now God's Word uses this name also only it's used to address the CREATOR, the Lord God Almighty! See Psalm 22:3, 78:41 Proverbs 9:10, 30:3 For a religion to give a sinful creation the same name as the LORD God Almighty is blasphemous and another sign of a cult.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Next in the almost endless list of unbiblical teachings of the RCC is "transubstantiation." This doctrine teaches that the "eucharist and the wine actually become Paragraph 1376..."the substance of the body of Christ our Lord." Catholics are taught that Paragraph 1366"The eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies it's fruit:" Paragraph 1367 "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the eucharist are one single sacrifice. The victim is on and the same:" OK, so now Yeshua is a victim, that is not true! Yeshua could have not sacrificed Himself. He ALWAYS was in control even to the point of deciding when He would die. John 19:30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit. Paragraph 1371 goes on to say "The eucharist is also offered for the faithfully departed who have died in Christ but are not yet wholly purified, so that they may be able to enter into the light and peace of Christ." WOW!!!! God's Holy Word says the EXACT opposite we read in 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. You will note that God promises that His blood cleanses us from ALL sin. God Bless and stay in His Word.
Read John 6:48-61 and you will see that Jesus emphasizes over and over that Holy Communion really is His literal Body and Blood.
While I agree with most of what you said, merely leaving the Catholic church saves no one. Leaving the Catholic church isn't any different than jumping off of a sinking ship and into the raging waves, but not coming onto the life boat which is Jesus Christ. With that being said, I think the most deadly false teaching of Roman Catholicism is the venial sin doctrine. For example, a Catholic may believe that while stealing a million dollars is a mortal sin, that same Catholic may think that stealing only 5 dollars is a venial sin which does not incur eternal punishment. The best starting point in witnessing is to ask them if they're a good person? If they say, yes I am, show them God's standard of goodness which is moral perfection and explain how lust is the same as adultery, and hatred is the same as murder, and stealing anything regardless of value are all sins punishable by death. No one can know sin but by the law. The Law is meant to show everyone their guilt and how they need to trust in Christ alone for salvation. Then if and when they see their guilt, show them what Jesus did to save them, and repentance and faith in Christ is what's necessary for salvation.
nz92673...….why are you still catholic ?

I am not Catholic. I got these ideas from Joe Mizzi's Just For Catholics sight where someone who left the Catholic church thought Mizzi woukd rejoice and he didn't. He was more concerned about Catholics trusting Christ alone for salvation and leaving the Catholic Church was a secondary matter. Mizzi's sight is Just For Catholics.

" While I agree with most of what you said, merely leaving the Catholic church saves no one. Leaving the Catholic church isn't any different than jumping off of a sinking ship and into the raging waves, but not coming onto the life boat which is Jesus Christ. "
That's the same analogy that Mormons teach their members who are following a doctrine of devils. Jesus is not in the Catholic church because it is full of idolatry and pagan rituals and traditions. The Jesus in the Catholic church is secondary to Mary. She is worshiped and statues of her and the dead saints are bowed to and venerated.
from what you posted and the subsequent comments it is the blind leading the blind !! So you went on a site in which a critic of Catholicism is interpreting Catholic classification of sin. Basically there are sins that are serious and others less so But all have to be forgiven and worked on so as we say in Confession "as not to sin again" It is certainly mot Catholic teaching that some are OK !! Nowhere in Catholic teaching over the last 2000 years does it say that !!!
Dear Bro in CHRIST, Mike, keep preaching n sharing from The 'manuel' of every christian The Holy Bible -"Sola Criptura". I am a former Roman Catholic!😰
Williams, perhaps you could cite from Scripture itself, where scripture teaches the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.
2Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
Mike W "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,"
Catholic's say a big "Amen" to this Mike.
But this verse does not say that all of what Christians are to profess and belief is found in scripture alone.
Nor does it say that scripture is the final authority.
If any doctrine contradicts God's Holy Word it is false and of Satan.
Mike W No Catholic doctrine contradicts scripture Mike.
What does contradict scripture:
- Salvation by faith alone
- Sola Scripture (not taught anywhere)
- Symbolic baptism
- Symbolic Eucharist.
All these contradict scripture AND they contradict what the Church has taught for 2,000 years.
Isnt it strange how catholics defend their church but not God's words found in an Authorized Bible, if they read their bibles only without Rome's telling them what to read and believe they would come to the knowledge of the truth that Rome is leading them to hell, no purgatory straight to hell.
You're saying the Catholic Church leads its followers straight to hell?... that if people would read the bible they'd find this out??? I assume you believe the bible is the word of God??? Do you know that the Catholic Church wrote the bible? How do your reconcile this oxymoron?
I don't believe its God's word because it says that Jesus is a god of love, but also that we'll all "must come before the judgment seat of Christ," for him to probably condemn most of us to pain and suffering in eternal hell...
Do you believe we were all created by God? Do you believe God is perfect? If we're temples of God...and even if we make mistakes, do you think an all powerful god could fix an imperfect soul? Of course!
If the Roman Christian god condemns imperfect souls to pain and suffering for all eternity...that's not 'punishment...' That's what Satan does... That's the fundamental flaw of all Roman Christianity...Catholic or Protestant. It's part of the reason why the church is dying...
Barna Religious Research found that less than 5% of young adults believe in the Satan brimstone judgment scenario of Roman Christianity. The church says if you don't believe in judgment you can't be a Christian. So the church is killing itself.
That's why I'm a spiritualist...so I don't have to be oppressed by all this irreconcilable church psychobabble.
It was the Catholic Church who complied and gave you the Bible. Without it you would have NO Bible and nothing to whine about!

Paul or Peter NEVER even mentioned her in any of their writings. Mary was a sinner saved by grace through faith in the finished work of her Son on the cross. PERIOD. 😇
In the rosary the emphasis is on Mary but in the Mass the emphasis is on Jesus, and on Jesus' Body and Blood, broken and shed for our salvation.
@@timcurry1462 actually, the bible never teaches that Mary had other biological other than Jesus. The term brother and sister does not always denote of the same womb. (John 19). Even many Protestant reformers taught that Mary remained a virgin after having Jesus. Plus, the mother of the King in the Davidic line of royalty is the queen mother, as Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ the true King , plus even the blameless before God Elizabeth felt unworthy as the mother of the Lord approached her, just as David felt unworthy as the ark of the covenant of old approached him.

Also an interesting habit of the RCC is to give names to their idols when God's Word specifically says not to. Take for instance the title "Queen of Heaven" that the RCC gives to Yeshua's earthly mother. Compare that to Jeremiah 7:18 and 44:17. Also strange is the RCC calling their spiritual leaders "father" even though God's Word says not to see Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Also in line with this is the title "pope" which translated is for papa. It seems like almost everything God's Word tells us not to do the RCC goes ahead and does. 1 timothy 4:3 They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. Sound familiar? The RCC forbids it's "fathers" to marry and so it ends up with a bunch of homosexuals and pedophiles leading these churches.

Romans 1:18-3:20 is the charge that all are guilty and we are told to shut our mouth because there is no excuse;
Romans 3:24-26 is the heart of the salvation message in that one can be freely justified by God through believing in Jesus and having faith in His blood alone for the propitiation of sin;
Romans chapter 4 tells us how Abraham was fully persuaded that he was righteous because he believed God by faith and not works;
Romans 5:1, "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

As far as is 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 being the same event as Revelation 19:15-21 it doesn't read like it to me. Therefore Yeshua would be returning to earth twice. However, it really doesn't matter one way or the other. It isn't a salvation issue. The salvation issue is what Yeshua do you follow? Do you follow the Yeshua of God's Holy Word or the Yeshua of the catechism of the RCC? The Yeshua of God's Holy Word is the only Mediator to God, He is the only Sacrifice acceptable to God, He was sacrificed only once for all. Hebrews 7:27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself. 28For the Law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the Law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.…( MAN, that describes the Catholic eucharist sacrifice perfectly!) This is just another example of the unbiblical doctrine of the cult of Catholicism. God Bless.

The List: Recieve Sacraments.
Sacraments are Graces given by Christ, you do not do them, you recieve them. Sacraments are not something we do, it's something we recieve. You might as well say, "The Catholic Church say you must recieve the Holy Spirit to be saved" Which is exactly what you do when you recieve the Sacraments, of which, the Mass is.
You need to go to purgatory:
To Suggest that a Catholic must go to purgartory implies again that it is something a Catholic does. Where is the Bus to Purgatory? Purgatory is another Grace, it is in fact the Grace of our final Sactification another free gift from God, from Christ to his Church. To suggest in any way that a Catholic must go to purgatory is sugesting that the Catholic decides to go there, or that they might not be fully sanctified when they die. The sad Part is, Protestants, even those who teach heresy like Mike Gendron, believe in Purgatory. They will tell you that when they die God Sactifies them (BINGO) that is Purgatory in a nut shell.
Catholics must do Good Works:
Doing works of Charity is the result of being in Christ, no work done by Catholics is done on their own, rather Catholics, being unified as one body in Christ, do the works of Christ. If you claim to be a Christian and do not do the works you are called to do, well, “ you got some splaining to do Lucy”
You must keep the Law:
As I couldn't listen to anything else, I'm not sure what law he means. There are many laws that we must keep.
Catholics must attend Mass every Sunday and day of obligation: (you betcha).
Yes this is true, we keep the Lords day Sacred or at least try to to the best of our ability. It is an important practice to worship God, it is also a requirment to attend Mass. We should never put things before the love of God, when we decide to do so, we sin. It is not a burden to attend Mass and we do not do so for Gods needs, we do if for our own needs.
I'm a faithful Catholic, I hear this stuff all time, it is the deception they said was to come. Mike Gendrons is a deciever like so many, none sharing hte same Gopel message. Wolf in Sheeps Clothing.
ManAboutTown
Red Herring
No Faithful Catholic would leave Christ because a devil entered the Church. A faithful Catholic would fight it, and that’s what we are doing.
Those who leave the Church for another Gospel, could never have been a true believer especially considering the evil that comes from our misguided separated brethren.
Talk to me about child abuse when you can answer for the far greater occurrences in the Protestant and Non-denomination (which is the same) churches. Clean your own house before looking at mine. We are cleaning ours.
ManAboutTown I think you don’t understand that fallacy.
You say you’re a faithful Catholic, but you don’t appear to know the Bible. Example, you don’t know what is meant by The Law???? Catholics learn catechism not scripture, and they place tradition equal Scripture. You know how to do all the gestures, repeat all the liturgy . . but do you know and commune with Jesus??? He’s hard to find in the Catholic church; He competes with statues, Mary, beads, saints, traditions, holy water, Mary, martyrs, visions, Mary. And more Mary.
God bless you keep the faith ... For the world is heavy burden...
Moviemaker,
you are mistaken, Jesus Christ started ONE church, it is the Holy Catholic church! You need to return to it now.
Robert Curtis forgive and forget ...like Jesus does.....so Moses , David, Solomon, Abraham, etc... we must not follow them either wow you do not know your bible ....Show me scripture of your catholic dogmas and Doctrine...if you cant then your in a cult ..you need to give me at least 3 scriptures to verify what your doctrines are and in context... you never have before so why are you still bashing true word of God people. Without scripture and Gods...Doctrine
Robert Curtis so all the Bible you call a Whoremonger cause most and probably all have done just as Bad...
So you are labeling Sin....oh ...ok thought All SIN is a SIN...we all fall short...
So as long as it is not public it is OK...HMMM....so as long as men do not see what you do in the dark it is ok...You have it bad if you can not forgive and forget.. you will be accountable for all the hate and grudges and malice you hold against one of His...or anyone for that fact Do not let anger or malice or Hate or forgiveness go down with the sun at the end of the day...(paraphrased)
Oh so the bible is wrong when we forgive and forget...They did turn back to the lord and all the fruit is shown....if no fruit it shall be thrown in the fire...Hello...
ARE YOU GOD.... sounds like you want to play one ..your fruit show nothing you have none...you hate ...you have no forgiveness...you label sin like one is worse then the other..it is not...sins of the heart are just as bad as the sins of the flesh...
you like to play God and you will be cut down to size...sorry you are a hater a backbiter , etc...read Romans why don't you...HELLO....
if I told all my SINS to you, you would probably Hate me to and say I was not a Christian...We all fall but also we have Jesus to pick us back up...and yes few do refuse to be put back on their feet...for crying out Loud if you are perfect and Sinless you must be a God....only God /Jesus is that....not Mary not you Not I not my wife not anyone...But Jesus Son of God and God the Father and Holy Spirit...
you must live on cloud Nine to think and Act the way you do...(oh holier then all )...wow
a Murderer can become a preacher , or a adulterer, or a rapist,, It is all the same sin as a liar, or a thief , etc...all the same...
If we did not sin God would not need us think about that...We would not need God...
Looks to me your thinking is like that... Bible is full of Sinners that God used what makes you so perfect.... your POPE said so or something ...you still never gave biblical scripture of your dogmas and doctrine Of your Catholicism ...
it shows that you are bottle fed and not eating the meat...Good day... Hope you repent of your hatred toward everyone ...
Robert Curtis on that one part it suppose to be unforgiveness
Moviemaker, are you a pastor???????
Ppl don't realize how heart-rending to admit your religion was wrong, but not feeling comfortable in a Protestant religion because of lack of solemnity.
Religion is the problem. Jesus didn't teach religion. He taught to trust fully in him... period! Jesus plus anything else is heresy.
It never has been Mary or Jesus it has always been Mary guiding us to Jesus ,,,,, Look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
amen
A lifetime of study confirmed for me that Jesus' message was only about love...and that he never threatened us with eternal damnation. Do I have facts supporting this? No, but as a Christian Spiritualist, I have enough information that I can take a very short leap of faith that Christ was only about love.
Here are examples of things I've learned to help me not fear the "Roman," biblical concept of a wrathful, vengeful depiction of Jesus.
Tertullian & Clement said these things that helped me to keep believing that Christ was only about love, and not hate.
“A Love Without Conditions”
Clement(2nd century), describing the Christians said…‘He impoverishes himself out of love, so that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need, especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother.’
When a devastating plague swept across the ancient world in the third century … Pagans were throwing infected family members into the streets… to protect themselves… while the Christians cared for the sick, at the risk of contracting the plague themselves.”
“At no other time in the history of Christianity did love so characterize the entire church as it did in the first three centuries… Tertullian (200AD), reported that the Romans would exclaim, ‘See how they love one another!’
This was all original Christianity was. It’s all that Christ intended it to be. These Christians didn’t risk their lives for any church brimstone threat. There was no judgment, Satan, hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in original Christianity. This was all the pagan religion the Romans merged into Christian belief before the Romans commandeered the faith.
The Church claims Christ founded the Catholic Church...? When? While they were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years. ” The Romans founded that religion at Nicaea 325AD and published the bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.”
It stands to reason that original Christianity would have been Jewish!... Roman Christianity was created later by the Romans for their larger gentile world. Can I prove any of this? No, but there is enough historic information for me to connect the dots to the truth... A truth that I only believe... Yes, it's a leap of faith without proof... but it's enough so that I can still believe in a loving Christ...not a paganized judgmental, vengeful Christ that Roman Churches threatens us with...
“When Constantine became Emperor of Rome, he nominally became a Christian…but being a sagacious politician, he sought to blend Pagan practices with ‘Christian’ beliefs, to merge Paganism with the Roman Church. Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.”
Truly, the Jewish Christianity of Jesus was only about charity, compassion, and brotherhood. The brimstone threat didn’t happen until 300 years later after the Romans exterminated Jewish Christianity and commenced their new “Roman” paganized version of the religion....establishing your Roman Catholic Church...The cruelest and most murderous institution in western history.
Like Jefferson and Lincoln warned us, the Catholic Church perverted everything that Jesus Christ wanted religion to be. Since the Romans seized the religion, their Roman Christianity has caused more war and suffering than any other institution on earth. If Catholicism ever had any connection to Jesus, it forfeited that privilege ages ago. Jefferson wisely said, “The church perverted the purest religion ever preached by terrifying the masses with brimstone for the purpose of gaining wealth and control.” And further that, "Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." Paul was credited by the Church for founding "Justification of the faith," =JUDGMENT...the curse of the Roman Catholic Religion. It's anti-Jesus fear based religion.
This is why Christian Spiritualists ,like myself, say, "Jesus Yes, Church No!"
“Joseph Ratzinger (pope) quit his first seminary because it conceded that there were two separate and opposing Christianities in the second century. The first was the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus and the second was the Roman gentile Christianity of Paul. They noted that Paul was indifferent to the teaching of Jesus, and the opponent of the religion of love Christ came to announce to the world.” Catholic Encyclopedia
“Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic) www.wrmosb.org/paul.html
I'm not trying to convert you, because Christian Spiritualists don't do that... I just want you to understand why 24% have left church for Christian Spiritualism. (Parade Magazine Poll 10/09 Issue)
Brad O'Donnell
Brad O'Donnell ...Jesus meek & mild is only a half truth & that myth has created a generation of coddled Christians. One only needs to read the Book of Revelation to see the very real other side of Jesus...the King coming in judgment.
In Mark 16:16, Jesus Himself says, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Jesus says in John 5:24, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, -- He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
Jesus says in Matthew 25:41, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”
So...these words came from Jesus Himself & no one else.
BUT...I do agree with you that in the early church, Christianity was a sect of Judaism. The New Testament was a continuation of the Old, as Jesus did not come to start a new religion. Jesus even uses the very “I Am” name for God, “Yahweh”, which was considered blasphemy & is why He was crucified. He said “I am the bread of life.” “I am the resurrection and the life.” “I am the way the truth & the life.” “I am the Good Shepherd.” “I am the door to the sheepfold.” Etc. Jesus even said in John 10:30, “I and the Father are One.” So Jesus is God & there is no difference btwn the God of the Old Testament & the New. I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness as He had to put up with idolatry & plenty of sinful behavior. But the one thing I wanted to clarify is the term “justification”. I am not a righteous person. The Bible says that “my righteousness is like filthy rags” in Isaiah 64:6. In Hebrew, the language that this was written in, the term filthy rags means “menstrual cloths”! That’s what all of our righteousness, or right behavior, looks like. In other words, I have NO standing before God. But when blood was shed to atone for or cover sin once a year, that person now had right standing before God & was considered righteous. That atonement was “credited” to that person as righteousness. In the New Testament, Christ’s death atoned for all who would come to Him. His atonement, His blood that was shed, was credited to me as righteousness. So that is like “just as if I’d” never sinned...credited to me, imputed to me, makes me justified...NOT condemned. “There is now NO condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1. I stand before God on judgment day in right standing, righteous & justified b/c I have “believed on the Lord Jesus & am saved.” Acts 16:31. I just wanted to clarify a few things. And the only reason believers want to share the Good News of the free gift of eternal life is b/c how loving or kind would it be to have the answer for eternal life & not share that with you & everyone we come in contact with?
@@melindabloom7281 You say, " there is no difference btwn the God of the Old Testament & the New."
And, you said, " I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness as He had to put up with idolatry & plenty of sinful behavior..."
The New Testament references God as one of mercy, compassion, justice, and love.
Let’s consider three categories of Old Testament texts that are hateful, cruel and morally problematic:
"Crimes for which God prescribes the death penalty...
*God’s anger and wrath in punishing his own people, and
*God’s command to the Israelites to commit genocide.
*The death penalty. There are numerous “crimes” for which God, through the Law of Moses, requires the death penalty. Among these are sacrificing to a god other than Yahweh (Exodus), persistent rebelliousness on the part of a child (Deuteronomy), a child who hits or curses his or her parents (Exodus), working on the Sabbath (Exodus), premarital sexual intercourse (Deuteronomy), and the requirement for a priest to burn his daughter alive if she became a prostitute (Leviticus).
God’s anger and wrath in the Old Testament, God’s anger repeatedly burns against his people for their disobedience. At times, the punishment he dispenses is consistently harsh, unjust, and disproportionate. Let’s consider just one example.
In 2 Samuel 24, we find the punishment for David’s sin: “The Lord sent a pestilence on Israel from that morning until the appointed time; and seventy thousand of the people died.” David made a decision that did not please God, and God killed 70,000 Israelites for it? How could this action ever be reconciled with a God of mercy, compassion, justice, and love?

Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.” (hope-of-israel.com)
I appreciate all your bible quotes, but the bible was written by men and is NOT the Word of God. Biblical "Roman Christianity" was created when the Romans commandeered the Jewish Christianity of Love in 325 AD when the PAGAN! Roman Emperor Constantine had Jewish Christianity merged with his Roman PAGAN religion Mithraism. Dec. 25th- sun god solstice birth date, Easter/Estros from "Estrogen" fertility (eggs/bunnies), brimstone/judgment/Satan, virgin birth and the trinity were all old pagan religion merged into what Constantine wanted for his compromised new Roman state religion and codified in HIS bible that HE published. The Romans always needed a religion based on fear, and Constantine saw to it that his version of Christianity would terrify and control them with pagan brimstone. Your Roman Christianity is heavily paganized and IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD.
Question: Why do you quote these bible passages in this Middle English language?
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved..."
"He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life..."
"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”
He that heareth and believeth on him, ye cursed...
I'll tell you why you and the Church use this language... Sadly, you brainwash and intimidate ignorant people that these are the actual language quotes from Jesus, Moses and God. This is offensive to educated people who know this is the Middle English language of Shakespeare, used 1500 years after Christ in England! Christ never uttered a word of this pompous language. It's so sad that you try to intimidate the vulgar uneducated masses with this tripe.
“A Love Without Conditions”
“At no other time in the history of Christianity did love so characterize the entire church as it did in the first three centuries… Tertullian noted that the Romans would exclaim, ‘See how they love one another!’
Clement, describing the Christians said…‘He impoverishes himself out of love, so that he is certain he may never overlook a brother in need, especially if he knows he can bear poverty better than his brother.’
When a devastating plague swept across the ancient world in the third century … Pagans were throwing infected family members into the streets… to protect themselves… while the Christians cared for the sick, at the risk of contracting the plague themselves.” (www.earlychurch.com/unconditio...
This was all original Jewish Christianity was. It’s all that Christ intended it to be. These Christians didn’t risk their lives for any church brimstone threat. There was no judgment, Satan, hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in original Christianity. This was all the PAGAN religion the Romans merged into Christian belief.
Thomas Jefferson wisely said, "The church perverted the purest religion ever preached by terrifying the masses with brimstone for the purpose of gaining wealth and control."
Bishop John Spong concedes "The church has always been in the guilt producing, control business, and dangled us between their imaginary heaven and hell as a control tactic."
Maybe you could consider accepting Jesus for his only true message...his Two Commandments. They only taught the world that all pagan wrathful, vengful religion was wrong...that God was only a god of love and compassion...and that we should only help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Christ never reversed to intimidate the world with Roman biblical brimstone. Roman Christianity corrupted his message of love, like Jefferson said...to gain the wealth and control of the masses.
Truly, Brad O'Donnell
Brad O'Donnell ...I agree with your understanding of the pagan Roman system that Constantine merged with Christianity to become the Catholic Church. You use Scripture verses to make your point, but then tell me that it’s not the Word of God. Then what is the standard? And why did YOU use it to make your points but tell me it’s written by men? So you can quote the Bible when making a point but I can’t use it to make mine?
AND THEN...you asked me why I used the old English language to quote from & then proceeded to answer that question for me with your own lies about why I used it! Really? Well obviously you don’t know the answer to that question & it has absolutely NOTHING to trying to intimidate anyone, but certainly says a lot about your arrogance.
Again, I agree with everything you said about “religion”. Religion has absolutely corrupted Christ’s message & the Catholic Church used purgatory to keep people under control then used indulgences to fund their greed. The entire Book of Galatians speaks to being freed from the bondage of “religion”, but you don’t want any biblical answers. Like it or not, Christ died for His church...warts & all.
@@melindabloom7281 You said, " I happen to think that the God of the Old Testament was very loving & full of loving kindness." This delusion is why I quoted the bible to illustrate for you that Old Testament rarely depected God as loving or compassionate... Mostly wrathful and vengful.
Judaism is well established as a wrathful religion...and, oddly, it is the basis for Christianity.
Roman Christianity clearly paints God as a bifurcated, dichotomy of love and hate, vengeance and fear. I believe this is a major reason that the church is dying. A perfect god can not be both. Barna Research shows that less than 6% of young adults believe in Satan/brimstone/judgment... and for very good reason. Love and fear are opposites. Roman Christianity is conflicted and self defeating because of the Roman pagan fear that the Constantine force fed into Christianity. It's the opposite of Christ's two Commandments.
Christianity Today Magazine concedes in “Christ vs. Paul” article that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith...' (judgment); Christians have sometimes reduced Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' was never the teaching of Christ." www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/december/9.25.html?start=2 “
Thomas Jefferson said, "Revelations had to have been written by a mad man."
We agree that "Christianity was a sect of Judaism."
You doged my question, "Why do you quote scripture in Middle English?" It's not the vernacular now. Ministers do use it to intimidate the ignorant.
Roman Christianity of your church is an evil twisted perversion of the message of Jesus. The bible you believe to be the Word of God, was published by a pagan Roman emperor for the purpose of halting the infighting in the crumbling empire that was destroying his empire. He had Nicaea completely re-write the religion to make it palatable for the Roman pagan population. It's far more pagan than Christian belief. If you could be transported to the second century you would not recognise "Christianity." There was no trinity, no brimstone judgment/justification, no virgin birth, no Dec. 25- sun god solstice birth date (new year rebirth of sun god!), Easter/Eostre/Estrogen fertility eggs/bunnies rites. Most churches did not recognise Christ as a god or the son of god. The church depends that no one will be smart enough to learn these facts of history.
The Protestant Church is the same Roman Christianity as the Catholic Church. Protestants condemn the Catholic Church, but still believe that the Roman bible, which was produced by paganized Catholics, produced the "Word of God" bible. Protestanism hasn't burned millions at the stake, but it still intimidates the masses with brimstone for wealth and compliance. Ergo, it is also the opposite of the religion of love that Christ came to announce to the world. All Roman Christianity is the opposite of the message of Christ.
Brad O'Donnell ...first off, I didn’t dodge your question. I chose not to answer it since you so smugly THOUGHT that you answered it for me.
Your idea of a “perfect God” is where we differ. So let me ask you this...is murder ok? Or rape? Should people who commit such crimes be punished? How should they be punished? What does love look like when dealing with such matters?
**My answer to this is.....of course sin has to be punished.
So again... I ask you, how should sin be punished? What would that look like coming from a loving God?
God has to punish sin. He is righteous, just, & holy. And God did punish sin...by putting that sin of murder & rape on Jesus, the innocent. The exchanged life has been going on since Genesis, when God let Adam & Eve go free, but took the life of an innocent animal instead. God had to teach them that sin is painful. Sin has to be painful or no one would ever understand that murder or rape is wrong. So we have to have a God who is the “perfect” balance of love & justice. How loving is it to let a murderer walk free? It might look loving to the murderer for sure, but certainly not loving or just to the victims. I’m sure Adam & Eve thought that God was loving as He let them walk free. God chose to assume that curse, or the consequences of their actions, in the life of Christ when Christ took on the sins & the punishment that should have been theirs/mine. I think that is beyond loving. It is far more loving than I would have ever done. It all depends on how you look at it.
As for the Bible...the Catholic Bible, the Douay-Rheims translation, was translated from the original Hebrew in the Old Testament & Greek in the New Testament to Latin. Now that is where the mess began. Latin was never spoken by Jesus or His followers, or anybody except the priests & the extreme upper class of people. But basically, Latin was already on its way out & was/is considered a dead language. And why would Catholics do that? Answer...to make sure NO ONE understood it so they couldn’t read it. That is what the reformation was about, & why people gave up their lives for the right to be able to read God’s Word. But since that time, Tyndall, a language scholar, Luther & others began translating the Bible straight from the Hebrew & Greek into English & all other languages. I don’t use the Douay-Rheims translation because of the Catholic/Latin influences that are incorrect. Plus I am not Catholic...anymore.
Here is Number #12
CCC460 The Word became flesh to make us "partakers of the divine nature":"For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God." "For the Son of God became man so that we might BECOME God." "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods."
By the way, do you realize that according to the qualifications for being a "true apostle" which you cite in Acts 1:21-22 that Paul does not qualify? Yet you claim him in the same breath to be a true apostle according to this criteria he does not meet--as do most Christians. How can this be if Paul does not meet these criteria you just cited?
Paul does not qualify ..wow Jesus appointed Him on the Road....do you not remember the true Story about Saul and turned into Paul...By Jesus Christ Himself...wow you are loopy...Disciple's choose one that God/Jesus probably did not want so Jesus/God choose Paul...Also He met all the requirements or the criteria ... if you do not recall He was And He even recorded to them to the others that did not believe he was changed ....you do not believe Gods Word. If you take out part of the Word you reject Him in all...
Mike himself said in this video that Acts 1:21-22 establishes the criteria for a true apostle, and he said according to this criteria only Matthias and Paul qualify. I was just correcting one of his many errors, since Paul obviously qualifies outside this criteria.
jpenrice it does what is the problem...true church is in Acts also and it is not Catholic...and Catholics did not canonize the bible it was already done before they put it to Latin to suppress the true word of God to the world...
God hates evil and false churches so do I...
Paul is a separate Apostle for the gentiles.🙏😇💖 Maranatha 💖 Remember that there's 2 different programs of Salvation. God paused The Tribulations until all of the gentiles and Jews to be saved under Grace, and it will start after The Rapture that will start Jacobs Trouble and the Salvation of Israel 🕎✡️💖 Maranatha 💖 Revelation 21:9-27 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

thank you 4 this vid. was crying at end. I had been confirmed catholic since 1995. in year 2000 I discovered eastern orthodoxy. I had looked at church history. I repent of my sins. I was going to become eastern orthodox, but orthodoxy has many similar things about them as Catholicism. couple years ago, I had a dream vision. the messenger was my late godfather, a catholic deacon. he told me to become a minister. I have recently thrown away many catholic n orthodox items into the dumpster. I have some items that I do not worship, that just hangs around to be religious art. I had seeked monastery living but said monasteried had turned me away because my age, mentsal n physical disabilities. fer decade I felt guilty fer not joining monastery just after high school graduation day. I wish to be an evangelical pastor. I hope veterans affairs pay my pastoral training. I did on online ordination thingy so far. mom asked God fer me promised to return me to be servant of Christ. mom told me that's why I feel close to Christ. please do vid explaining next steps Catholics n orthodox need to do on this new journey.
Dear Kenneth, your request touched my heart, so I googled "How to become a lay pastor," and there are many online resources. The first step is to belong to a church and then find out that church's requirements, as they are all different. God bless you.
You can still live as a Monk at home.
So in your dream your deacon godfather RIP told you to be a minister ! Deacons in the Catholic Church are called ministers are ordained and also called like priests "Reverend" So he would be guiding you to that !! You would need to brush up on what is Catholicism as you said about things catholic Worship In the catechism it clearly states what has been the rule for 2000 years "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)"
BTW people......try and find a good older style bible possibly from second hand shop etc, as i have heard from good sources that the powers that be are changing certain words or passages in the new ones.
Yes . . especially with regard to gender.
Only the Lord decides who goes to heaven. I grew up Catholic and left the church but others in my family never left the church. My mom died a Catholic and I'm sure if she didn't go to heaven no one is going. I'm Lutheran today and believe Christ died on the cross for all us and if you believe him you will go to heaven.
Why would I believe what Luther said?
@@Peekaboo-Kitty , don't care what you or anyone else believes. I figure to be honest there is no one who is right and no one is wrong when it come to relugion as it is personal to each.

You are right. That's why Religion is a Scam because it can mean anything you want it to mean. It's all make it up as you go!
I will tell you a secret. I love to start a debate with friction. I love how ppl react. Most of the time I start off with such bullshit .
LOL! Yes I love a good challenge. Good on you!
If I were to insult my neighbor, I've committed a venial sin. However, were I to murder my neighbor I'd be guilty of a mortal sin. Don't tell me these sins are on a par. No intelligent person would believe that. And God isn't an idiot.
Robert Berthaut Read James 2:8-11
“If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.”
James 2:8-11 NKJV
Then read 1 John 3:13-15
“Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.”
I John 3:13-15 NKJV
Then read Jesus own words.
““You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.”
Matthew 5:21-22 NKJV
God isn’t an idiot, we agree... He is HOLY and righteous though...He must punish all sin with death unless we are covered by Christ’s blood he shed for us once on the cross.
Be blessed!,
Robert Curtis you twist and use scripture out of context...
You can not discern when Jesus is talking in Spirit or Flesh or figurative etc...John 6 is talking about living for Him and He was talking in Spirit. Not Flesh.. Not literal , But in Literal Spirit Form...Sorry but truth is truth.. Gods Truth.. not a pope or Dogmas or Catechism teaching..
You still never gave me scripture of what I asked for a year now. So I guess The truth stands on the Word of God. not your interpretation of Mans and pope.
why would anyone in their right mind trust YOU to interpret scripture????? You can't even spell, can barely communicate.
Robert Curtis Its not mine it is scripture and it is Gods Word ...We do not interpret it. We listen to it. Hello denominations pick and choose what they want out of it.. Then put other Traditions , dogmas, etc.. to it ...But what does the Bible say, It says do not add.. you hate us cause we love God The true Jesus of bible. Your war is not of flesh but of the Spirit. You are convicted by the Spirit that is why you lash out at me and all that appose your Catholic church. Just face it you will see when you die...Heaven or Hell ..There is no Purgatory To finish the purge of sins ..Jesus did it all on the Cross...
Show me scripture if you can...
Robert Curtis My spelling the you tube site has spell check . it already fixes misspelled words.. Plus my voice activation on IPhone does the same thing.
you just attack when you cant provide scripture. Your war is with God not me your fighting the Spirit world. No scriptural proof of the CCC ...If there is then show us , those that see the Word of God as for what it is... We do not add or take away scriptures like your so called Catholic church does.

ok, here is proof with scripture, a direct quote. This passage proves Jesus Christ gave the apostles the authority to forgive sins, the sacrament of confession. Don't accuse me of twisting scripture, as you always do. This is a direct quote. To put in context, this occurred after Jesus Christ rose from the dead and appeared to the apostles as they were hiding in the upper room.
john 20:22-23
"And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.'"
Ok, Moviemaker, now you can explain away Christ's words. Tell me He did not mean what he very clearly said.

I think you need to go back to 5th grade and learn how to communicate in writing. I can barely make out your ridiculous, nonsensical arguments.
By the way I don't hate anybody. Are you really a preacher??? I would love to hear you preach. Do you preach like you write????
I was discussing the biblical Mary with a catholic, she said that it was not possible for Christ to be born of a sinful woman like the biblical Mary, but it was POSSIBLE for the catholic Mary to be born sinless from her SINFUL parents. Used the argument that she was saved before she was created by God. But if that’s true, then every follower of Jesus Christ should be sinless also since Paul wrote that we were saved BEFORE time or the creation of the world( depending on which version you read)
So it was possible for Mary to be born sinless from sinful parents but not Christ who existed sinless before time, who is and always has been sinless
The proof of the Immaculate Conception is actually in the greeting of the angel in Luke 1:28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
The term used to Mary is "Kecharitomene" perfect passive participle of "charitoo" [charitoo (verb) comes from the same Greek root of “charis” - which means “grace” and charitoó means to fill or endow with grace] or in other words: "Hail, one who has always been full of grace"
To make it more clearer, "kecharitomene" is the perfect passive participle tense of the verb meaning "to fill with grace," Because it is in the perfect participle tense, it means that Mary was already filled with grace and there is no room for sin in her before the Annunciation, the implication being that she was the immaculate!
No other character in the bible was called kecharitomene except for Mary. The Angel Gabriel is not speaking his own words, rather he is delivering God’s message to her.
Therefore, Luke 1:28 points to Mary being without sin at the moment of her conception.
@@GR65330 I understand everything you are saying but you are missing my entire point. This person was saying Jesus could not be born of a sinful woman but yet Mary could ? So someone infinitely lower than God can do something that God could not do.
As for your Greek points. I understand that also but the same Greek is used to describe Stephen also and no one says he was sinless. You are interjecting what you want it to mean, and that opinion goes clearly against scripture.
@@doug1863 The word that described Stephen wasn't the same Greek word that the angel used in his greeting. In Acts 6:8, Stephen is described as "pleres charitos" literally "filled up with grace" meaning at that moment, he was full of grace. The term used to Mary is "Kecharitomene" which means "one who has always been full of grace." They have the same root word “charis” but have different applications.
Her immaculate conception was part of God's plan where she was redeemed at the moment of her conception. She was the first to receive the saving grace of her son.
@@GR65330 again you are ignoring the point of my OP. As for the biblical Mary and the catholic mary, if you believe the rcc mary was sinless because of kecharitomene , then all followers ofChrist are sinless as Eps 1:6 says. The only other passage that uses the same word
As for Stephen, it wasn’t just at that moment as he was performing miracles and signs of wonder, can you please tell me what passage says the same of either Mary? In addition there are the usual passages of scripture that clearly state ALL have sinned which was written AFTER Mary lived. In addition Kings say “ there is NO ONE who has NOT sinned “
That’s it for me and Mary. My OP ;the person claims it was “ impossible for Jesus to be born of sinful Mary, but yet it was possible for mary to be born sinless from sinful PARENTS. That is heresy.

Good job being totally wrong! Jesus started the Catholic church in 33ad. All protestants are not part of the church that Jesus started! They protest the very church that Jesus started! All protestants follow a church that was started by a man, not Jesus. Check out the book Why We Are Catholic by Trent Horn. A very incredible book! Check it out! Blessings!
The Catholic Church is the One True Church founded by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is the mystical body of Christ and the mystical bride of Christ. Therefore outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation.
"He who does not have the Church as a mother cannot have God as a Father."
--St. Cyprian
The Church claims Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church... When? While the Romans were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years.” Rome hated the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus. The Romans founded Roman Catholicism at Nicaea 325AD and published the Roman bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.”
"Christianity Today" Magazine explained in their article, "Jesus vs. Paul," CT concedes that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith, judgment... Christians sometimes reduce Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' or judgment was never the teaching of Jesus Christ." ChristianityToday, 12/2010.
“Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic)
325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. After 325, Constantine's "Roman" Christianity became the oppressor... oppressive because it condemned all other religions as abominable heresy, forced conversions, inflicted torturous inquisitions, genocide, Jewish and Muslim slaughter, crusader conquest and endless religious wars for Roman Church domination.
The original Christianity of Jesus was only a religion of love he came to announce to the world. Roman Catholic Christianity was based on brimstone fear. Fear is the opposite of love.
@@bradodonnell5547 Jesus was in the process of founding the Catholic Church all throughout His public ministry. He appointed Peter to be the first pope and the other apostles to be the first bishops. He have the Church her worship service at the Last Supper. But the Catholic Church counts as her birthday Pentecost Sunday, when the Holy Spirit came and began to dwell in the souls of the Church's first members.
Century after century goes by and the doctrines of the Church never change. This would be impossible with a merely human organization.
Yes, the pagan Roman Empire persecuted the early Catholic Church, producing many martyrs. Did you know that almost all of the first 32 popes were martyred by the Roman Empire?
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh You quote bible passages as though they are factual history... They're not. It's all mythical folklore story telling by creative Jews and Syrians...then codified into the Roman bible by the PAGAN Emperor Constantine to grip the masses with fear of his newly fabricated single state religion... the Roman Catholic Church.
The 25 most renowned historians of the Middle East in the first two centuries wrote enough history to fill a small library, but never mentioned Jesus Christ... If a man was walking on water, raising the dead, feeding the masses, or leading the masses, don't you think some historian would have mentioned it? Appian Petronius, Arrian Phaedrus, Aulus Gellius, Philo-Judaeus, +21 others wrote nothing about Christ.
According to Remsburg, “Enough of the writings of the authors named remains to form a small library, yet in this mass of Jewish and Pagan literature, aside from two forged passages in the works of a Jewish author, and two disputed passages in the works of Roman writers, there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ.”
“When Constantine became Emperor of Rome, he nominally became a Christian, but being a sagacious politician, he sought to blend Pagan practices with ‘Christian’ beliefs, to merge Paganism with the Roman Church. Roman Christianity was the last great creation of the ancient Pagan world.” (hope-of-israel.com)
Rome was crumbling in the 4th century mostly from Pagan infighting. Constantine sought to establish a single state religion to quell the civil wars. You say, "Christ was in the process of developing the (Roman) 'Catholic' Church." The "Catholic" title came in the 4th century, from the Greek word for "Universal" for Constantine's objective of establishing a single state religion.
Constantine chose the "Christian" template, but transfered most of Rome's pagan religion into the altered universal "state" Christianity to persuade the pagan citizens to accept it. Before 325 AD, possibly half the churches did not accept that Christ was divine. They worshipped Jesus as a prophet. There had been no judgment, Satan/hell, “son of god” theology, virgin birth, Easter fertility (eggs/bunnies) or Dec. 25 sun god birthday in paganism. The first Christmas was celebrated in 325 AD. It was overlaid on the sun god's Dec. 25 birthday so the pagans would celebrate it, as they'd celebrated that pagan festival for thousands of years. They had to put a halo over Jesus and sun bursts behind cross symbols so the citizens would see Jesus as morphing from their Sun God. This was all the pagan religion that wasn't part of original Jewish Christianity. In 325 AD, at Nicaea, "Christianity" changed, morphed, evolved more quickly than any religion ever did.
What about the succession of supposed popes? The Church has admitted that there's nothing tangible, carbon datable, that they or anything about "Jesus Christ" existed in th efirst two centuries..
325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. Rome made original “Jewish” Christianity illegal and executed all Christ's followers for 300 years until Constantine. There's no way Christ could have founded the murderous Roman Catholic Church.
@@bradodonnell5547 If you don't believe in Jesus Christ Catholicism will make no sense to you. Catholicism begins and ends with Jesus Christ.
@@GeorgePenton-np9rh I do believe in Jesus Christ... but you neglected to call your religion by the full name... It's formally "Roman Catholic Christianity." It has to be identified as "Roman" to differentiate it from the original Christianity..."Jewish Christianity." Jesus was Jewish, and his followers were Jewish while he was alive. Jesus had no aspiration to make a religion for the greater Roman Empire.

Say you are a drunkard. You must Work on being a non drunkard.
If you are an adulterer, you must Work on being a repentant adulterer and not keep on being one after you say "I receive Jesus as my personal savior." You are a cheater.
Read the verses again. Its not enough to just to receive the grace. You must also align your life and way of life to the grace. Otherwise, you are trying to cheat on Jesus.
Plus God through the scriptures is how we interpret it. Called the Holy Spirit. The one inside of us.
You have to have other books to go by I just use the Bible. How many years are you going to be hard from keeping the truth away. And how many are you leading stray. You must see and read and examine like a Berrean. It is war against God you have not me. Read scripture right.

moviemaker, when are you going to let me preach at your church? what are you afraid of?????????? I will tell your flock the truth of the Holy Catholic Faith.
The problem with the two major generic camps of Christianity is that each tediously declares the other in grave error and destined for damnation. It's this attitude that has resulted in nothing but conflict, persecution, and death. And as for scripture, its not as old as is generally believed; and, it contains many questionable things. Don't listen to me. I'm certainly no biblical scholar. However, what I do know is that there are far better scholarly sources for information about the bible and related beliefs than what's posted by any church affiliated group including this one.
Our host would has us believe that 1.2 Billion Catholics are destined for damnation. A cheerful though! Does you suppose Hell is big enough to accommodate so many good people whose only mistake is to follow Catholic doctrine. Is God as petty and unforgiving as the narrator of this clip would have you believe? Nah!
Jesus Christ wept over Jerusalem but still killed them in 70 AD. Yes, The Lord Christ Jesus will say to billions of people "I Never Knew You"👿🔥😭

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

To do this, Mike can't depend on his own fallible interpretation of scripture. He must show evidence. He must show who in history agreed with his fallible interpretation of scripture.
The apostles taught their descendants. The descendants taught their descendants. The Christian faith spread world wide within a very short period of time, within a 100, 200 years. Many of these early Church writings exist (300+ early Christian writings in fact)
It should be easy - a snap actually - for Mike to provide evidence of who in the early Church and where they lived, agreed with his interpretation of the Lord's supper. Just cite the source document.
He has a hundreds of early Church writings as reference.

Why do you need a label? It’s not about what religion you claim, it’s about knowing Jesus walked among us as God in the flesh. He told us to repent, believe in and follow Him . . He left us words to govern our lives, taught us to pray, taught us to love Him and one another, and to spread the Gospel.
No, the bottom line is Catholics do not need to leave the Catholic Faith. The only person going to hell is someone who did not repent of a mortal (serious) sin upon death. IF Catholics were ignorantly in the wrong faith - but they are not! - they would not go to hell because of ignornace.
bendy the bus song..... in reply....
l like what you wrote... and those who propose they were saved from the Roman Catholic Church, all of a sudden...they start reading the Bible and instantly found Christ in Protestantism..
left the RCC and now are saved... next step to there growth in being promoted....then spend the rest of their lives hating Catholics...and spread that hate thru' this is type of media. This is a very shallow human being, if they do this. . wow!

If you can understand the following, you can begin to understand sacraments. Think of a person you love very much. Imagine they could never physically touch you. Imagine your relationship was purely spiritual, with no touch. They couldn't even hold your hand or put an arm around you when you need encouragement--a purely spiritual relationship without touch. Would you feel something was missing? Physical touch is necessary for us (studies of newborns who are not held confirm this). It's just as important in our relationship with God. Because we are not purely spiritual beings, we are physical as well and need to be touched by the ones we love and who love us. God knows this. That's one reason he took on human flesh--and the Gospels tell us people longed to touch him. There is no more intimate relationship you can have with another than for your body and blood to become one with theirs. This is what Ephesians 5:31-32 is about. The Eucharist is where Christ and his bride--the Church (Isaiah 62:5)--become one flesh. If you can understand this, you can begin to understand sacraments. They're not something we do--they're something Jesus does for us, his beloved bride.
umm are you catholic???? I walk and talk with Jesus/God everyday I touch Him ...He touches me ....He lives inside me and I in HIM..
Christians do not mix psychology or even science to Gods word. For it is Gods Word we do not need another answer...Gods Word is all we need with a Relationship ...

We walk with Him and Talk With Him ...Just like the song..ONE God ONE Faith the true followers where and never Roman Catholic OR orthodox Catholic.. nothing is in the scriptures do you not listen to truth..Robert Curtis
Many people are trying to work out formula for salvation. In fact, there is no formula. Forgiveness from God is base on his mercy. Obedient Christian do not means saved. Lousy sinner does not means unsaved. We never know one another salvation in the future. Debate God's word is judging people salvation. "I'm saved because i live holy." "I'm saved because we are saved by Grace." Those words are self-declared saved. Only God can judge. No one knows. It is just a believe that you are saved.

Perhaps Mike Gendron can explain HOW he knows ALL 27 books of the New Testament are God's Written Word, and that no books that have been left out, are not?
Mike, what's your answer here?
Thank God, Jesus delivered me from this evil (catholic) witchcraft church! Catholic church is SO evil to the core!!! There is a spirit of witchcraft that's holding catholics bound...chained....to this evil false church!
Outwardly looks holy...inwardly it's satan's playground....that's the truth...sadly!!!
uncheckers Uncheckers, perhaps you could answer the question for Mike.
All I need to know about salvation is COMPLETELY stated in the New Testament! There's NOTHING that's lacking...or in-complete in the New Testament Book!
2Tim 3:16 -" All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!"
uncheckers Of course. 2 Tim 3:16 is very Catholic.
Now checkers, do you want to answer the question or just dodge it?
TruthHasSpoken 2 Tim 3:16 is NOT AT ALL Catholic.....far from it!!!
If it were, there WON'T be idolatry etc...going on in the catholic church!
To your question....I already replied to it...and that is (I REPEAT)...
All I need to know about salvation is COMPLETELY stated in the New Testament! There's NOTHING that's lacking...or in-complete in the New Testament Book!
Did you miss it??
No thanks, I'm perfectly good with my Catholic faith, but the doors are always open for you two my bothers before the lord.
only Christ can save you. turn to him before it is too late.
"only Christ can save you. turn to him before it is too late."
Completely, 100% Catholic
Wait a minute---according to Protestantism all one needs is faith in Christ. Catholics have faith in Christ. Therefore, according to Protestant logic, all Catholics must be saved!
Faith in Christ alone..not Mary as a co redeemer..
Deluting
Scripture does not claim that it is your most trustworthy authority for truth and practice. In fact Scripture says that the Church is the pillar of truth. I'm 15 seconds in and you are already contradicting Scripture! So you left Christ for the bible. You left the Eucharist, the Mass, the sacraments, the only church that Jesus ever established. He established it on Peter and there is only one church established on Peter and you left it! So there can be no confusion. And Jesus said that he would be with his church forever and then he promised that the spirit of truth would also be with it forever. Therefore, anything that you say from this point forward which challenges a Catholic doctrine is a challenge both to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit. I'm only 40 seconds in at this point and I see that you are on satan's team. Well this is long enough for now. Maybe I'll come back later for my next 40 seconds.
Christ did not establish the Roman Catholic religion lie. Jesus was a Jew, and Rome is anti-semitic, The church Christ founded consists of all born again believers, not some instution created by sinful men proclaiming themselves to be in God's stead when they are whitewashed sepulchres, teaching for commandments the doctrines of sinful men., the whore of Revelation 17. If catholics truly started reading their bibles only they will soon discover that what Rome teaches is not of God.
The church is all born again people who are filled with the Holy Spirit, those are the only people on earth who can discern spiritual truth.
@@lindaellis4183
You said: Jesus was a Jew, and Rome is anti-semitic,
Me: That why the church saved some 860,000 Jews from death at Hitler's hand during WWII? Funny way to show anti-semitism!
You: The church Christ founded consists of all born again believers, not some instution created by sinful men
Me: I agree. That's Protestantism. But the Catholic Church was ESTABLISHED by Jesus upon the backs of sinful men serving him. Jesus established it with leaders, authority, and power. It is not a make believe group without foundation.
As for born again believers, they do not accept Jesus' church so they are really NOT believers in Jesus. In fact they contradict his teaching repeatedly.
You: If catholics truly started reading their bibles only they will soon discover that what Rome teaches is not of God.
Me: Every heretic supports his heresy on the back of HIS interpretation of Scripture. Tell me, where is the Protestant Catechism in which we may find what the official teaching of your faith is? It does not and cannot exist. It started in rebellion and continues in rebellion today. It is not of God.
@@theextreme7134
See my answer above to Linda. "Born agains" cannot produce a doctrine of their faith because they can't agree on it. So much for discernment.
@@bridgefin God already produced the doctrine of faith for true believers, it's called the bible. I think you don't understand the gift of discernment because you are probably unsaved and have never experienced it first hand. The bible is a living word and different people are at different levels of spiritual maturity and understanding in their walk with God, that's why it's sometimes hard to agree.
The Bible is for the liturgy of the Eucharist. The new testament is the Eucharist, it was a sacrament before it was a document.
Christian read the same Bible..I too believe in God..im too Catholic and I dun wanna change mi religion .
People who claim to be former Catholic to support their Catholic hate, clearly shows their lack of understanding in Catholic doctrine and the reason why they left is just that, they never understood the Church teachings.
+SMD 014 You were poorly taught (or you are a liar) as you aand this video misrepresent Catholicism.... You will find no authorised catholic writing saying idolise or worship anyone or thing other than God ... In the catechism it states very clearly "Worship is reserved for the Godhead alone."Please develop yourself like many intelligent people have ....... when British PM Tony Blaire resigned he continued his bible studies and became a catholic as did Dr Scott Hahn etc Also I was reading an article about a young man who grew up a protestant .. went to Oxford University ... became a catholic before he gained a double first in his degree and has now started his studies in Rome to (eventually) become a catholic priest in the Liverpool Archdiocese in England !! ..... all three highly intelligent .... started in the protestant tradition as committed protestants .... all studied and grew spiritually then answered the call of God.
+SMD 014 Videos like these are the work of Satan ... They lead away those who don't have the spiritual knowledge of the faith in the Gospels and scripture generally. You were not taught by the holy spirit otherwise you would not accept the lies about the Catholic Church as truth ! The Holy Spirit can not lie ... I have given you two famous examples of people who have sought spiritual understanding / discernment ... who have fully understood Protestantism and have become Catholics !!
+SMD 014 I have looked up on Derek Prince ... who tries to carve out some differences between Catholicism and protestants usual claims ... on the body and the blood of Christ he says don't ague with scripture we do in in remembrance [as the Church of England /Anglicans believe] and it is the Actual presence [as Catholics believe] but he claims not only priests can consecrate the bread and wine ..... he leaves out a lot of scripture to get where he was !!
+Tieho Mothibe Amen we must read and learn about our faith from people like the people in catholic awnsers and others like the writhings of saints.
Yes Tieho They could also look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Mike Gendron appears to be very delusional. He deludes himself thinking that he has understood the Scriptures more than the Roman Catholic Church has done in the last 2000 years. This man does not realise that there are millions of Roman Catholics out there including the teaching magisterium of the Church that think this man is terribly wrong and his presumptions are condemnable. He repeats from what he has learned from Luther and other modern day evangelicals. We Catholics repeat what we have learned from the Lord himself.
@ManAboutTown Sir, cast the first stone if you have no sin. Otherwise, you are another holier-than-thou hypocrite.
Catholicism is not judged by the behaviour of some pedophile priests. Not even by the good behaviour of other priests. It is judged by its claims and teachings. If human failings are a criterion to judge any religion, tell me which Protestant sect is better than Catholicism.
@ManAboutTown Pipsqueak!? Why do you take yourself so seriously dear? When you cannot make a sensible argument, what do you think of yourself?
If Catholics are leaving the Church by the millions, what way are you affected? I care little for your statistics; tell me what you believe. All that concerns me is what the Catholic Church teaches as opposed to the 70000 Protestant sects and cults. Get my point?
When it comes to practice, I am not a good Catholic, but that does not mean there aren't very good Catholics out there. Only a blind man or woman cannot see the fact and truth that the vast majority of Catholics are better Christians than most Protestants. Tell me: are you a good Christian? You don't appear to be one. Go, become a good Christian before you poke your nose. And examine what you believe vis a vis Catholics.
Ahhhh, the arrogance of thinking you have all the answers because you’re Catholic.
Why single-out Catholics? Is catholics imperfect and protestants perfect? Does catholics commit sin and other religion righteous? Is your religion the true religion? There is only one true religion, the one established by Jesus Christ, and He is coming back for the bride. The problem is your belief is different from us. We believe that salvation is not permanent, yes. That's why there will be judgment when He comes back! You are not free to commit sin, basing your belief that He died to redeem our sins, all sins! Mary is part of the Holy Family, the Father, the Son and Holy Mary. If you rebuke Mary, then you rebuke the Holy Family. I am not saying that catholics is better and that you must change your religion. No. We must bear in mind that ALL of us fall short to the glory of God and we are all sinners! So don't play judge as there is only one judge, Jesus!
Don't worry if ur a religion ur an offshoot of Catholicism in other words ur Catholic s so stop lying to yourselves Don't forget all religions aren't practicing the bible but I wish we are all bereans so remember John 17 especially those subtract from the bible to u people who say they left the Catholic faith remember this Once a Catholic Always a Catholic
Learn to construct an understandable sentence.
People who are listening to this ...please DO NOT!! It is falsehood
Dear speaker, you have no idea what you are saying...especially regarding the Eucharist. You never understood your faith when you were Catholic and now you have been turned over to falsehood.
If people would spend half as much time actually learning what the Catholic Church teaches rather than regurgitating lies about it and coming up with their own personal brand of Protestantism, we wouldn't have videos like this polluting the internet. For each time I have heard someone claim to have been Catholic for 30, 40, 50 years and who says they all of a sudden started reading the Bible "for themselves" and "realized" how "wrong" the Church is, I would say that they are either completely lying or that they spent decades being unimaginably apathetic toward their personal growth in the Faith. And I am supposed to believe that suddenly after all that time the "Holy Spirit" spoke to them the "truth" that the Catholic Church is so wrong. It just seems completely ridiculous. The more I see of this kind of "testimony" the more I am apt to believe that the "ex-Catholic" never was Catholic to begin with. They are like Judas.
***** That's fine. I believe that the Holy Spirit speaks through the Catholic Church. But fundies like you don't like Catholics to have their belief, while you can believe the Holy Spirit speaks through Benny Hinn or Jack Chick. Give me a break. If those are the rules, then the Catholic Church can play by them as well as you. So stop being a hypocrite.
+BendyBus Song 'Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks'.
+BendyBus Song My dear, your use of the word retarded is highly offensive and insensitive for so many reasons. Do you honestly think that our Lord Jesus Christ would talk like this or approve of such talk. He is the spirit of gentleness. Please, if we profess to be Christians, may we at least try to act like them.
You say all anti Catholics read from the same dumb script - you mean the Holy Bible. Please take some time to consider these scriptures and pray for the discernment from the HS.
Isaiah 29:13“These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.
James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless.
For you, dear, I pray you to walk with Jesus and find peace in his amazing Grace.
Cherish Elf The same dumb script, as in all these retarded accusations from the anti-Catholic camp. Like you just regurgitate it straight from a Jack Chick comic. As if Catholics have not already addressed these sorts of objections over and over and over and over and over and over again! If anti-Catholics really wanted to understand what Catholicism is really about, the information is out there on the internet, right under your fingers. There you can read and understand, but no, you all just want to start some shit and argue and falsely accuse and pull your "holier than thou" attitudes until the day you fall over dead.
+BendyBus Song I was a practicing Catholic for 40+ years. I went to daily Mass, Bible study, My husband and I were in the Catholic Healing Ministry for over 10 years and I even went to Medjugorje on a pilgrimage. Let me assure you that I know what the RCC teaches. When my father became ill with a very rare autoimmune disease I used this time reading the scriptures and asking the Holy Spirit for wisdom and understanding regarding this rare illness etc... .
Shortly after praying and reading my bible..it was like a light bulb went off and the HS revealed to me the truth. Initially I was shocked and amazed at how quickly and how easily I was able to understand the scriptures. After sharing the gospel with my family, my youngest son who was 14 or 15 at the time and my 17 year old looked at me in amazement and said "Mom' How come the Catholic Church never taught us that" They went on and on how the scriptures came alive to them and finally made complete sense to them. Let me assure you that until you come to the wisdom and understanding that the HS reveals to you, you will not see. The blinders need to be removed from your eyes first. Trust me when I say that in no way, shape or form am I a Catholic hater, basher or deceived. Most of my friends and family are Catholic and it is not about that. i know where you are coming from because I practiced it daily. The Holy Spirit will open your eyes to the finished work of Jesus, to true Salvation through Jesus Christ and He, The Truth will set you free. With love in Christ Jesus.
No, the Catholic Faith is not wrong "according to the Bible." The Catholic Faith is wrong according to the Bible ACCORDING TO YOU!
Many evengaliset convert to catholism why becoz they found out...
Fortunately only 200 people have heard this false message.
umm right why don't you go into all the churches that preach the truth like them...you do not know this is just part of what they do ..they put this on 4 other channels on TV/satellite...Worldview Weekend is one of them ....Wow ....They are evangelist like me that travel telling people about cults....I for one been to south America , Africa, so forth All Catholic churches bring in the culture of the area. Even if it Voodoo, witchcraft, and so forth ..I have been there and I have seen it all...you need to open your blind eyes..
MOVIEMAKERSIII what do you mean, the romanists "bring in the culture of the area?" Not disagreeing, just curious about what you saw. Definitely, they subsume (and have for 1500 years since their inception with constantine) various "gods" and use the name "Jesus" to express them, probably back to Nimrod
MOVIEMAKERSIII
what a great braggart you are
Almost at 5,000 plus all the other videos out there with thousands of views.
Mike why don't you get off the tube and quit bashing Catholicism and The Blessed Virgin Mary? Mister you are eaten up with jealousy. You need a good psychiatrist! Why must these kinds of people always compare what they're doing to The Catholic Church. The answer: When you're NUMBER ONE a lot of jealous people try to bring you down.
Jealousy of your idolatrous religion???
Those who left Catholic church plz repnt and return back which Jesus son of living god founded.
The Church claims Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church...? When? While the Romans were crucifying him and throwing his "Jewish" Christians to the lions? No, Christ didn't found the “Roman Christianity” that executed him and all his Jewish Christians for 300 years.” Rome hated the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus. The Romans founded Roman Catholicism at Nicaea 325AD and published the Roman bible with judgment/brimstone to grip the rebellious citizens with fear to control them and we're still controlled by it today.
According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "early Christianity regarded itself as part of Judaism. It had its center in Jerusalem; its first fifteen bishops, observed the (Jewish) Law and held friendly discourse with the leaders of the synagogue. Pauline Christianity greatly aided in the Romanizing of the Church. Emperor Constantine completed what Paul had begun-a world hostile to the faith in which Jesus had lived and died.”
"Christianity Today" Magazine explained in their article, "Jesus vs. Paul," CT concedes that many Christians are concerned that Paul's theology disagrees with the theology of Jesus. “We can't find much in the Gospels that shows Jesus thinking in terms of 'justification by faith, judgment... Christians sometimes reduce Paul’s gospel of salvation to something like, 'Believe in Jesus so that you personally can go to heaven when you die.' Salvation through 'justification by faith' or judgment was never the teaching of Jesus Christ." ChristianityToday, 12/2010.
“Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...Traditional Roman Christianity has taught that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus.” (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict, Catholic)
325 AD was the threshold date between Jewish and Roman Christianities. Historians agree that this date was the demarcation between them since before then, Jewish Christianity was a pacifist, oppressed religion that never engaged in war. After 325, Constantine's "Roman" Christianity became the oppressor... oppressive because it condemned all other religions as abominable heresy, forced conversions, inflicted torturous inquisitions, genocide, Jewish and Muslim slaughter, crusader conquest and endless religious wars for Roman Church domination.
The original Christianity of Jesus was only a religion of love he came to announce to the world. Roman Catholic Christianity was baeed on brimstone fear. Fear is the opposite of love.
Sorry...typo..Roman Catholic Christianity was based on brimstone fear. Fear is the opposite of love.
Jesus prophetic about peter bar Johnna and Paul mission to Rome to convert the Roman empire pagan cult, which saw numerous conversion to Christianity in Rome .that let Nero persucation of christian.
@@mhachankikon9328 Hard to make out this broken English... Are you saying that Jesus prophesied that Paul would convert the larger Roman pagan Empire? And that Nero would persecute Christians?
@ManAboutTown Interesting! Not that I doubt it, but can you show me the reference where you got that "The Coming Home Network" offers bribes to attract to Catholicism?
Dime a dozen Protest-ant propaganda drumming up business . Mike, your troubled and we'll keep praying for you.
Your presumption is that the written Word of God is the only authority to establish what is true. But, until you interpret what the bible says you have no meaning. So, on what basis or authority should we accept that you are an infallible interpreter?
And you do not understand the Catholic Catechism. You clearly misrepresented it. You are spreading lies.
And yes, Catholicism has added tradition to the Word of God. The very canon of scripture is tradition and without it you have no bible whatsoever. You are the one who has been deceived and you are trying to bring others down with you. Sad.
You are definitely deceived now Mike - your personal interpretation is way off....what do you do for a living anyway?
