To all the Protestants: the word Protestant means 'to protest'. And what are you protesting? The Catholic Faith. The one True Faith.
There are many different bible versions. Some Fundamentalists insist on King James version as the only one with power and authority. It appeared 1600 years after Jesus was on earth. So what did Christians do before they had a complete bible? before books could be printed in large quantities? when most peasants were illiterate? what do you do when 2 devout people hone in on a verse but draw strikingly different conclusions? (try Mark 16:18 --- OUCH)
TheCatholicGirl You haven't a clue as to what your talking about. Had YOUR Religion had its way, NO ONE would be allowed a bible.
Henry Westin So uneducated people couldn't have a bible? Typical Romanism at it's best. Only the rich get to have a bible or the educated . Oh yea, typical RCC! OUCH! Did you even know 212 years BEFORE the Vulgate was made IN LATIN there were TWO BIBLES ALREADY compiled? One in Syria and the other in Alexander Egypt. OUCH!
TheCatholicGirl I know many catholics that have left the church,they said they were never encouraged to open their bible and they had no grasp of bible truth or principles- do you?.......
You nailed it! Many Protestants also believe the bible came first then came the church. This is why many believe "if it ain't in the Bible I won't do it." It's sad really, they pass over the richness of church tradition.
The first time in 76 years I've heard a beautiful, breathtaking and true interpretation of the end times. I'm ever stunned by the deep insight of the Catholic Church into the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation. The Church digs deep under the surface to find hidden treasures. Praise be to God. I've been deceived many times before by non-Catholics on their views about the end times. This true teaching must be promulgated by the Catholic Church over and over again. The wrong teachings of other Christian churches on the subject of the end times have influenced many a Catholic to leave the true church and to join the dissidents.
I can technically say "I'm Catholic, but not ROMAN Catholic". I was a Mary-worshipping, Rosary-loving, zealous Catholic who laughed at street preachers until I was 23 when The Bible started opening my eyes to the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ Jesus... That was ten years ago and I'll never ask "the queen of Heaven" to pray for me again! I am free. I am born again, awaiting the Resurrection which is the central focus of ALL of Scripture. Praise God for saving me by His cross! I was so blind. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." (Romans 10:17)
Well Roman is a rite not the church itself which is simply The Catholic Church. There are other rites as well
Why did you worship Mary? She is not a God. We venerate and adore because she is the Mother of God. As Queen Mother she can intercede for us.
Why are we divided? Only the Catholic Church don't teach HATRED AGAINST one another. We desire Love and Unity with one another.
Thats an interesting rewrite of history. Excluding the endless papal wars, revolutions, inquisitions, and crusades against bible believing Christians for 1400 years since the first pope in 606 ad.
Thank you so much Karlo for your clear explanations of the Holy Bible according to the Catholic Faith. Love and prayers from Malaysia ❤️
If the "rapture" happens, PRAISE GOD. If the rapture DOES NOT happen, PRAISE GOD. Either way PRAISE GOD! This was said by a protestant preacher.
Thank you for proving my point by saying that the real God can do anything. This proves that when a voice told you that God can't save Catholics, it was not a voice from God that said it, but rather from satan, as it suggested that God's power was limited.
a catholic response: come! all us, sinners! and repent through obedience and faith on God's promises. come and live for love to God through others
Catholics believe in God the Father his son Jesus Christ and in his Holy Spirit. Catholics believe in the need to repent of ones sins to God through Jesus Christ . Catholics believe in the death of Jesus on the cross for forgiveness of sins so that we may be saved.
Catholics believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ so that those who believe in him will have eternal life.
Many Protestant people call our belief the whore of Babylon , yet they believe in Jesus as we do.
Yes they hate many other beliefs we may have because they are not in the bible or so they think they are not there .
This man Karlo proves many of our beliefs are in fact biblical in many other videos.
People say the word Catholic is not in the bible , yes that is true also the word bible is not in the bible , Jesus never ever said read my bible , upon this rock I will build my church Jesus said to Peter. Jesus never said upon this rock I will build my bible.
Catholics believe in Jesus for their salvation .
I laughed at the jazz music at the beginning.
The image of "coming on the clouds" actually is simply a description of Divinity. The imagery was borrowed as a polemic from/against Canaanite religion. In the Ugaritic Canaanite pantheon Baal (the viceroy of heaven) was the Sky god and was described as the cloud rider, the one who rides on the clouds etc. The Israelites took this title and basically said "nope, it's not Baal who rides on the clouds, Yahweh is the one who rides on the clouds. He is the supreme God".
When this imagery appears it is meant to emphasize the Divinity, Power, and Authority of the one being described. It is no surprise then that the image is often used in instances describing divine judgement. It is emphasizing the divine power and authority of the Judge.
ok i see he says his later in the video at about minute 35 - very good!
Show me one verse from scripture that states the Bible "alone" is the 'sole rule of faith'?
Thomas Marabella, Read the Bible and see how God warns of the dangers of ADDING to His word. Plus, God said if you ADD to His word, then you are arguing with Him and He says you are a liar, So, "Liar", what's it like to know you are arguing with God??. Plus, Paul said ADD no other doctrine. So what do the naughty Catholics do?. They ADD there erroneous traditions to the Bible.
@@dr.alanhales544 Power to loose and bind were given to Peter. Adding and interpreting are 2 very different things. You also have to identify what the Catholic church teaches as dogma and discipline. Many Protestants confuse the former for the latter. From Montanists, to Pelagianism, Nestorianism, etc. Church councils (Roman Catholic) had to defend The Faith ONCE delivered. Not the faith disputed and Protested. Most of the anti-Catholic sentiment derives from the 1500's from Luther (a former Augustinian Roman Catholic monk) who REMOVED Scripture to suit his narrative/personal doctrines. So what about taking away from the Word of God? Also, Luther added "faith ALONE" to Romans 3 to fit his doctrine. So anything you see in Scripture that in not Catholic Canon or an approved translation has been added to and taken away ...it's 100% historically and textually true. So your argument is null. Please pray and read and understand history... of course there are black spots on the history of The Roman Catholic Church but reform comes from within and never outside of the Church. I understand the sentiments of those whose ancestors dealt with The Inquisition and also right now the Priest Sex Abuse Scandal/Coverup....not to mention the abuse of indulgences in Luther's time. Tares will always be amongst the wheat (that isn't limited to the laity) Old Testament Israel had priests who practiced abominations before YHWH. Bad priests and corrupt leadership didn't invalidate the Torah, the Law, and the Levitical laws of the faith of Judaism anymore than bad Roman Catholic Priests abusing their power and privilege invalidates a 2,000 year old institution instituted by Christ himself. God Bless You. Pray for me and pray for truth.
It’s the Bible and tradition . The true Church is founded by St. Peter.....Christ said ,upon you I build my Church
This is the Real Gospel of Jesus Christ www.spiritlessons.com

Why so angry, bro? She was just pointing out that what you seem to think is Catholic teaching is not actually Catholic teaching, so there's nothing to warn Catholics about. Catholics actually teach that salvation is by the grace of God alone, and they certainly don't teach that the pope is god.
The fact that the Temple is a microcosm of the entire universe shows it to be a type - Paul even says it directly. Thus its destruction serves as a type for the destruction of the world and restoration of the universe. So Jesus is talking about BOTH the destruction of the Temple with its ending of the Jewish Old Covenant world of sacrifices, AND the end of this present world and the remaking of the entire universe. As God, He can masterfully speak of both at one and the same time.
Thank you, Karlo, for your enlightening videos! I wonder if the conversion of the Jews will be a one time mass conversion or a trickling in. Now that there is Jews for Jesus and so many videos on UA-cam of Jews evangelizing other Jews I just wonder if this is what St. Paul is talking about or if there will be something more.
Is there available an ebook on this subject?
Evangelical christian turned catholic ..No cradle catholic could speak so enthusiastically!
MANY cradle catholics CAN preach with passion.
This is what those passages state: "Because you have kept my message of endurance, I will keep you safe in the time of trial that is going to come to the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown." I don't see WHERE it mentions the "rapture".
So few catholic escathology available. Thanks K. Broussard.
You may think it is rudeness but actually is desperation to see what happens and what is yet to happen.
In what scripture?
If i have misunderstood, then what is it i misunderstood? In one post you said, and I quote, "Its not about what they believe". In your next post you said, and I quote again, "It does much matter what we believe in".
So which one is it? Does it matter or not?
You know, I really wish he would do these talks in French. Because I only know Metropolitan French and I'm nowhere near fluent, and a little bit of Quebéc French, but I've heard him use French on the radio so I know he knows at least a little. Those have you that are confused, I should probably point out that this guy talking is Cajun, Cajuns have traditionally spoken French.
It's about salvation. If you do neither not pray nor understand the word of God
men will drive you away from the truth and salvation of Jesus and we are living the final days. and the word says many will be deceived and will go through great tribulation and many will follow the false Christ. Usually we fallow what we want to be true, what please our ears and heart not the real truth. God is love but also justice. Many will perish and it is very sad
Man! this guy gives me a headache with his high pitched voice and over enthusiasm. I suggest he learns to relax or at least to relax the student. I had to break it in three sessions and it's still painful to hear. But it was well worth the pain. He is well prepared and backs his statements by Bible, history, and hard logic. Content: 10/10, delivery: 3/10. Looking forward to part 2 ... which I will have to break up in three parts.
Where Paul says we will change instant. Because the Holy Mountain can not be climbed.
HaHa, You're a real trooper, Toni.
He cites, "one dogmatic treaty," as saying, "there is no reason to assume that the Jews will all be converted or that the Hebrew race will embrace the true faith in a body....like the gentiles, the jews will probably flock to the church in great numbers.." but he does not say which dogmatic treaty he is citing. Web searches come up with nothing. Would really like to know what he is citing there, anyone happen to have a source for that quote?
I have already read it. Frankly, its quite rude to simply assume that people who do not believe the same as you have not.
You have already established that you don't know what the Catholic faith is or what Catholics believe, and have proved it again by claiming a second time that the pope is their God when he most certainly is not. So by what justification do you say they cannot be saved? You don't even know what they believe!
That is just a silly thing to say; but it is true that you bring into the Church the style or approach to teaching and preaching you came from-I suspect if he came from a high church Anglican background it would be more somber.
I respect the man and I appreciate his charism and work-just cannot get into the Evangelical emotionalism.
Amen 🙏 👍📖✝️🕊💪🥰
The book of truth
There are only two (2) things I dislike. One being the comment section-where everyone gets to show how ignorant they are and the other is the remote we use to lock our car doors and it sounds the horn, both are very obnoxious.
David McArthur the TRUTH is rarely popular or accepted in Satan's world. Be blessed. Come out of her and be born again.
Clue : Is MONEY the first or major consideration to establish and create a NEW RELIGION?
GoolePlus2000 Do you think nothing happens In the protestant church's. The enemy is loose in all the church's.
Do you know how many misconceptions you just typed?
PETER SAYS IT BEST! 1 Peter 2:4-6The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.
CHEIF CORNERSTONE=FOUNDATION THE CHURCH IS BUILT ON = JESUS NOT PETER!
Yes you say well, Jesus is the cornerstone. Good, but the cornerstone doesnot hold the House foundation alone, so it needs other stones. Here in John20:21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (we see Jesus giving power to men, to forgive sin,the sacrament of reconciliation/confession.Protestants read scripture in isolation, read the scripture as a whole.) John1:42 Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter); here Jesus named simon the name Cephas"Peter" which means rock, this was in Preparation for Peter's Apostolic leadership in Mathew16:16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”17 Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you that you are Peter,[b] and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades[c] will not overcome it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[e] loosed in heaven.” {Now here Jesus is not surely referring to himself as rock, but rather to Peter, whom he had named so in John1:42, "Protestants is English a problem or not?, Jesus says here "You are Peter & on this rock(cephas/Peter) I will build my Churhc, ...he adds I will give you the keys of heaven , ...surely Jesus was enthroning Peter to the Apostolic seat. My protestant brothers accept or not, the true Church is built on the Apostles, Peter being the leader, refuting this truth is refuting Jesus & his authority, so if you do not have this truth of our Lord you can never be His true Church but the anti-Christ church.
Why is he shouting like he's mad?
I think he's got the habit from his protestant times.
A generation in the bible is 70 years, psalms 90:10. The generation that died off in the wilderness for not going into the promised land because of the report of giants in the land were already adults. So the 40 years they spent in the wilderness has to be added to their already being adults.
So if you open a door in a mental asylum and someone is having a full conversation with an imaginary friend. You would be embarrassed and slowly shut the door in pity and sadness that someone has a corrupted mind.
Show a verse that says {{pray to Mary}} so simple to prove your church is true.
IDENTITY 7 - Revelation 17:6 ...'and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.'
What is the one church that people would look at with awe and wonder? The Roman Catholic VaticanChurch, with all her splendor and pomp. Millions of people flock to the Vatican each year and wonder at the "majesty" and splendor of the place.
Not only that, the true definition of this verse is that John wondered with great 'amazement'. Why? This verse is tied in with the persecution by this power upon God's people. But John already saw great persecution upon God's people at the hands of Pagan Rome. So why the 'astonishment'? It is because John sees an actual professed Christian church doing the persecution and killing God's people. This was an astonishment to John! The angel showed him the blood that the Roman Church, a professed church of Christ, was to spill in the name of Jesus. And this was perplexing and an astonishment to him.

Only one Christian denomination actually predates the bible.
choose one:
a) Anglican
b) Baptist
c) Lutheran
d) Pentecostal
e) Catholic
geolatcol hmmm..The Way??? Jewish Christians??? Nazarenes??? Ebionites???Have you been to Israel today??? Lots of JEWISH CHRISTIANS...Is the LORD JESUS CHRIST a JEW??? Yes or No???
geolatcol this would indicate that they are all false religions then if they existed BEFORE the scrolls were written and Jesus came to earth-
+CandaceWhite The New Testament was written after Jesus died. There was only one Christian Church around at the time and it is on the list.
bridgefin Well how can you prove it?
+CandaceWhite Let me ask you. Who are the possible candidates for Christian churches which were established at the time of Jesus and which are still around today.
Perhaps it would be appropriate to use a verb title, like Lord when you speak and address Him? Lord Jesus, this form is advisable. You talk about him as a friend from the school bench.
My ears and heart ache when I hear this Protestant style of speaking about God.
If i had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that...
This guy sounds like he should be preaching on a street corner.
It is desperation to assume that others have not read the bible?
Christianity IS a religion.
No, we don't.
you keep saying that, and yet such a statement is very clearly not from God. There is nothing God cannot do, and that includes save Catholics. Whoever and whatever is telling you otherwise is not representing God, but rather satan.
If it matters what we believe, then why did you say above that its NOT about what they believe? You are contradicting yourself.
I think it's a mystery as to why they removed the second commandment.
Enter
No mystery, and no commandment was removed.
+bridgefin the traditional Catholic formula removes the second commandment.
Enter
No one removed any commandment. We are not the only ones who include your second with our first...get that. It is still an active commandment but we think it best belongs with the first. NOTHING REMOVED!!!
There are about 14 separate "commands" included in the decalogue so God apparently left it up to us to force 14 into 10.
+bridgefin look at it this way, Jesus never started an institution. Jesus never said to build church buildings. He said to "love God and others and put God's Kingdom first, and forsake all, go, preach the good news." (Matt. 6:33, 22:37-39; Luke 14:33; Mark 16:15)
THE WORD "CHURCH" ITSELF COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD "ECCELESIA" AND LITERALLY MEANS THE "CALLED OUT ONES", or the "separate ones" the "set apart one"--or the dropouts! "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing (the System); and I will receive you." (2 Cor. 6:17)
THE TRUE CHURCH ARE THE GENUINE CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS in God who follow Jesus--the born again, saved Body of Christ--not a building or a denomination or a religion. God gave Jesus "to be the head over... the Church, which is His Body." (Eph. 1:22,23) So anyone who believes in Jesus is part of the Church! Anyone or anything else is not the Church!
WE DO NOT HATE THOSE WHO ARE NOT PART OF THE CHURCH, but we do hate the hypocrisy, self-righteousness, lies and deceitfulness of those who claim to be the Church but are not; and we hate the spiritual system of the Devil which is behind them.
JESUS EVEN COMMENDED THE EPHESIAN CHURCH for this, saying, "this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans (false apostles), which I also hate." (Rev. 2:6; see also Ps. 97:10)
also, it's blasphemy to claim deity and to claim the ability to forgive sin - the pope does both, even peter himself told Cornelius that he was of no higher respect than him. eternity Is a long time, are You ABSOLUTELY sure? The system hates a free thinker. the catechism has chapters that deal with doubt. Repenting (acknowledging your a sinner) and calling on Christ removes this doubt.
+bridgefin god would of left it as other doctrine if he believed it fell in line with the first, it would of been just another verse in Leviticus. obviously he intended it to be a commandment, god is not the author of confusion.
It all sounds good until they start praying to Mary
Yes, praying to dead people is idolatry
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has declared all forms of premillennialism to be heretical.
Actually.. it's historic. But ok.
One of the best things I ever did was discover my Catechism in an old box and start reading it next to The Word of God. The contrasts further prove that I was right to have left "Holy Mother Church" or whatever I used to call it.
@02MisAnthrope You're quite the self-contradiction, aren't you.
A wolf in sheep clothing
Your mic is terrible sounds your climbing a mountain
IDENTITY 3 - Revelation 17:4 ...'And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and Whore of Babylondecked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.'
So the main colours of this church, the whore of Babylon is Purple and Scarlet. And it is also a very wealthy church that is decked out with gold and precious stones. Did you know that the main colours of the Bishops and Cardinals in the Catholic Church are Purple and Scarlet? And did you know that the Roman Catholic Church is one of, if not THE most wealthiest institution in the world? With the Vatican being decked out with gold and precious stones? And if you look at some of the coins that the Vatican has had produced, you will see images of a woman with a golden cup in her hand on them. Blatantly boasting of who she is! This cup full of abominations is also a symbol that the sins of this church are so great and full that it is now a fallen, apostate church that can never be the church of Christ Jesus. And the sins of the Roman Catholic Church are immense, with it's idolatry, murder, child abuse and so on, that she has committed throughout her history, and CONTINUES to commit.
And when the mark of the Papal Church is enforced upon the world, THEN the message of Revelation 18:2 will go out to the world, and her fall into apostasy will be COMPLETE!
Sorry! I do not wabt to offend anybody either but people do not study the bible. I want to share Zephaniah with you.It is short, please read it. The New testament say about the end times and still some doubt about it saying it's symbolic. The only way to understand the truth is through prayer and by the Spirit and not believing men. God bless you!
I will be sorry at your loss to satan, yes. But this is besides the point. Do you believe that God's power is limited? That there are, in fact, things he cannot do? Or do you believe, as I suspect, that he is omnipotent and there is nothing he can't do?
And if you believe that there is nothing he can't do, then obviously, he CAN save Catholics, and whoever told you he can't is wrong.
Its not about what they believe? Really? So if they believed everything the bible teaches, it still wouldn't matter? That doesn't sound anything like the Christ I know.
God cannot? Your God is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Moses, then, as your God is limited, and that God is omnipotent.
But it can't be the real God that told you that! Think about it! Would an omnipotent (all-powerful) God tell you that he CAN'T do something? Of course not. He's all powerful. There is nothing he can't do. So any voice telling you that he can't CANNOT POSSIBLY be from God.
men will drive me away from the truth unless, of course, Christ sent those men to guide us. But this is besides the point. It is horribly rude and condescending to assume that someone else has not read the bible based on nothing more than the fact that they believe differently than you do.
With due respect, I feel sorry for those Catholics who believe this gentleman's lecture on the Second Coming.
I would suggest they read the Bible themselves, that way you will not be misled, you will not be deceived by false teaching.
Mary is the G.O.A.T.
***** You wont abandon God for he Created Satan. :)
Thats why the sins of the priest/any leader wont affect the faith of Gods Churches. even your catholic or not.
God Bless Brother!
Except a Man be Born Again he cannot see the Kingdom of God much less enter it as Evident by the False Teachings of the Catholic Church and the Rest of the Foolishness they Teach.
Jesus Christ Said that.
The Real Gospel
www.spiritlessons.com
Jesus Said, In the last Days, many False Prophets shall arise and shall deceive many, such as the Catholic Apostate Church
No. Prejudices the Biblical texts by adding to them to steer it towards his viewpoint. Example: He says Jesus, in Matthew 24 (the Olivet Discoure) is speaking of the 1st century, but nowhere does Jesus say that - so this is an addition to get to the Preterist viewpoint. In fact Jesus had used typology and could be using it here - the kingdom that will be overturned could be the kingdom of Satan, the prince of this world. Thus Jesus could be typologically referring to the overthrowing of the kingdom of Satan - i.e. the end of the present world. SO he is espousing one viewpoint that not all theologians agree with. The danger is the ill-informed will take what he says as the only way to interpret these passages, and thus he is misleading people.
Thus the destruction or end of the Jewish Old Covenant world (which had fallen away from Divine truth so far that it could not recognize God among them) provides a type for the end of the entire world - the kingdom of Satan, the kingdom of apostate Christians who know the truth but refuse to act in Truth - the great falling away that comes at the end, as told in the Scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Love God with all my soul heart and mind.
You know what you heard. You only think it is from God. I would beg to differ. As the bible says, we are to test all things. That's what I did here. You said that God told you that Catholics can't be saved. I decided to test that idea, and in doing so, came to the understanding that an omnipotent God most certainly could save them if he wanted to, and that, therefore, this voice that told you this could not possibly have been from God, as it spoke a blatant lie to you.
Sure, God uses people. But he's obviously not using you, as that "voice" is suggesting that God's power is limited, and therefore, it is obviously not from God. Furthermore, I already believe in the one God and His Son, Jesus. I do not worship people. Therefore, it must again not be God telling you to challenge me in faith, as I already have faith.
You guys amuse me. That preacher says to praise God WHETHER OR NOT THE "RAPTURE" OCCURS! He's dead on. YOU, on the other hand have no clue.
This is the first time you've seen a Catholic reading a bible? No offense, but have you been living under a rock?
a saint in white vestments!!!
Sir, you are not helping the youth when you say that Jesus was a prophet. Jesus is GOD, and the only way to salvation. The Islam say the same thing, that Jesus was a prophet. You are not helping when you suggest that prophetic writings in the Bible refers to things that had happen in the past and are not related to our present. GOD is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Pedro O Flores-Villanueva Jesus was always preist profhet and king. He is also Lord and God. Listen to him he is telling you the truth.
Pedro O Flores-Villanueva I thought Jesus said God is higher than him? also in deuteronomy it says God is ''one'' God?...........
it also says in the gospel I and the Father are one. And he also says something greater then the temple is here. what is greater then the temple then the one who founded it
he also says if you do not believe that I am you wil die in your sins
jesse dempsey Jesus said him and the father are one as in the context of united thinking- they are in complete harmony- the pharisees were trying to condemn Jesus for pointless and superficial things stating Gods law and throwing it in Jesus face all the time- Jesus was declaring him and the father are on the same page so the pharisees couldnt accuse Jesus of being a demon like they already did-
Jesus also said the father was ''higher'' than him-
Jesus said everything he taught belonged to the father,not his teachings-
The bible states Jesus will be placed at Gods right side (how can this be if they are the same?)
Jesus also prayed to God the night he was arrested- you cant pray to yourself-
After Jesus was baptized Gods holy spirit came upon him and God said he approved of him- you cant approve of yourself- the voice came from above-
the trinity is a pagan belief-the egyptians worshiped the triad (3 in 1) god hundreds of years BEFORE Jesus came to earth- satan wants people to be misled.
Jesus established one Church. That is the Catholic Church. What happened to the children is the worst crime I can think of. The Priest that are guilty should be excommunicated from the Church and punished to the fullest extent of the law and then suffer in hell. If public hanging were legal I would pay to watch them. Further my heart goes out to the victims and their families. I cannot imagine what they have been thru and what the will continue to go thru.
I in no way defend what the Priests did nor do I approve how the Church handled it. The Church was wrong there is no question about it.
We must always remind ourselves Jesus created one Church. He never said that evil men would never be able to find there way into His Church. Evil, Judas, worked its way all the way to the last supper and evil stood by while Christ died the Cross. The fact that the scandal should make us all be on guard. Satan does not attack those who are of no threat to him. He does however attack in the worst possible way those who do pose a threat to him. He is clever and used a very small percentage of the Church members to inflict the absolute maximum amount of damage to The One True Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
We must reflect on how evil works and pray for all who suffered as a result of wicked acts perpetrated by a few evil Priests that penetrated deep into the Church. We must also remind ourselves that our Mother Church is in fact still the One true Church. We must also remind ourselves if we were not the true Church these events would have never taken place. Satan has all his power focused on his biggest enemies the Church and the Eucharist both instituted by our Lord.
Please pray for the victims but rest assured that we are in the only Church that offers the Eucharist which is the source and summit of our faith and Christ Himself.
We will never see other Churches endure these kind of attacks. They are not a threat to Satan and are already doing his work and they. Therefore we will never see these churches exposed to evil attacks . They are already teaching what Satan wants. .
when a child is abused, the priest is automatically excommunicated ......... as for hell, the Church never declares anyone in hell, we leave that judgement to God and to God alone......
as for public hangings, why not use your $ to assist abuse victims and their families........
frjimt9455 Very good point. I did not know the priests were excommunicated.
Jesus promised His Church its indestructibility, not immunity from evil persons trying to infiltrate it.
This is off topic.
Allen Lichner The church handled nothing!- Oliver O Grady was an irish priest who raped hundreds of kids over decades and decades- the church knew this and simply moved him onto another church where he continued to rape some more....there are hundreds of cases like this every year- Jesus said a rotten tree will produce rotten fruit- the church produces predators who rape and corrupt-
IDENTITY 8 - Revelation 17:3 ...'and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.'
This beast is the same as the red 'dragon' we find in Revelation chapter 12. Now Revelation 12 tells us that the dragon is Satan, 'that old serpant called the devil.' But we need to add some logic to this. Why does the dragon have seven heads and ten horns? The same as the beast in Revelation 13? And Revelation 17 tells us that those ten horns represent kings/kingdoms. So logic would tell us that this dragon does not only represent satan, but also a civil power. But which civil power? Revelation 12 gives us a strong clue ...
Revelation 12:4 ...'and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.'
So the dragon waited for this child to be born to kill him. And who is the child? Well, Revelation 12:5 tells us that he was 'caught up to God and His throne.' There is only one MALE child which ended up going to heaven and more specifically to God's own throne. And that was Jesus Christ. So this child whom Satan wanted to devour as soon as He was born was Jesus. And who did Satan use to try and kill Jesus when He was born? The king of ROME. So this red dragon also represents Rome.
So which civil power does Revelation 17 tell us the woman gets her 'seat' and 'authority' from? Rome! And who did the Roman Catholic Church get her seat and authority from? Yes, Rome!
So who is the whore of Babylon? The Roman Catholic Church. No other church, religion, kingdom or institution matches her like the Papal Church of Rome does. And God is calling His people out of Babylon and the other fallen churches of the world (Babylon's daughters).
It's not just the Roman Catholic Church that God is calling His people out of. There is a great ecumenical movement happening today that is uniting all churches and faiths together. So if your church accepts this ecumencial movement, then you need to come out of that church also. Revelation 17 says that Babylon has daughters, and her daughters are the Protestant churches that came out of the Roman Catholic Church during the reformation. But are now heading back to Rome! Please heed the call!
IDENTITY 6 - Revelation 17:18 ...'And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.'
Now many people look at this verse and proclaim "BABYLON IS A CITY, IT'S NEW YORK!!", and they totally disregard all the other characteristics of Babylon, which show that the whore of Babylon cannot just be a literal city like New York. BUT, if we take ALL the indentification marks together, including this city one, then we can see who it is. We know from the evidence that Babylon the Great is a church. So how can we bring this church and city together? Well, what is the one city which is also a church that "reigns" over the nations of the world? What one city, which is also a church has diplomatic relations with virtually all the world's nations? VATICAN CITY!
The papacy is so influential and powerful that nearly every major country consults her before making major policy moves. "Her large diplomatic corps maintains relations with more than 100 nations." (U.S. News and World Report, October 30, 1978, p. 24)
+dee hee You said: The papacy is so influential and powerful that nearly every major country consults her before making major policy moves.
Me: Please document this with proof.
+bridgefin ...ever watch the news or read? (U.S. News and World Report, October 30, 1978, p. 24)
+dee hee lol. Yeah, the mayor of Rome spited the Pope and passed laws that Pope Francis disagreed with. Yet the Pope was powerless to stop him. What a huge powerful person he is.
Pope Leo XIII condemned both laissez-faire capitalism and communism in the late 1800's. What followed was 100 years of Capitalism in the west and 75 years of communism in the East.
Yeah, tons of power and influence.
Go back and reread Revelation. It says the "great city" is the city where Our Lord was crucified. Last I checked He was crucified in Jerusalem, not Rome.
Keith P Protestants can't read it seems
WHERE DOES 30 YEARS OF WRITINGS FROM GODS CHOSEN AUTHOR {PAUL} SHOW PETER IN CHARGE? DUUUUUUUUUUUHHH?
A DYING STATE RELIGION.
1) The number of priests in the United States more than doubled to 58,000, between 1930 and 1965, since then that number has fallen to 45,000. By 2020, there will be only 31,000 priests left, and more than half of these priests will be over 70.
2) In 1965, 1,575 new priests were ordained in the United States. In 2002, the number was 450. In 1965, only 1 percent of U.S. parishes were without a priest. Today, there are 3,000 priestless parishes, 15 percent of all U.S. parishes.
3) Between 1965 and 2002, the number of seminarians dropped from 49,000 to 4,700, a decline of over 90 percent....90% Two-thirds of the 600 seminaries that were operating in 1965 have now closed.....HOLY SHIDIZZLE MY WHIZZLE! ..ONLY 200 LEFT?
4)In 1965, there were 180,000 Catholic nuns. By 2002, that had fallen to 75,000 and the average age of a Catholic nun is today 68. In 1965, there were 104,000 teaching nuns. Today, there are 8,200, a decline of 94 percent since the end of Vatican II....94% ?
5)A 1958 Gallup Poll reported that three in four Catholics attended church on Sundays. A recent study by Notre Dame found that only one in four now attend....25%
>) "By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit" (Matt. 7:15-17). Given the foregoing, it should be plain that catholicism doesn't produce good fruit!
He is very "shouty". Hurts my head.
He's a bit too intense for me, like a Southern Baptist preacher foaming at the mouth about gay people. Calm down, dude.
This really boggles me. Why does not the catholic Church in their homilies come on strong and on fire like this man is speaking?? I LOVE IT!! When catholic apologist speak like this they sound like true evangelicals but on a regular basis they go right bacxk to somber boring tones. If only Mary worship was finally discarded then i'd be back to my Catholic roots immediately. ......so sad.
Tony Cevallos No Catholic worships Mary. Look up “Latria” & “Dulia”
Why is it that the laity act like evangelical protestants? Only those ordained are allowed to preach, though laity can teach, but this guy acts like another billy graham or john hagee. Sad
Lol, no by all means, defend the Faith. It just reeks of Protestantism in his presentation
Maybe he went to the william Shatner school of acting. Or he had a few espresso shots too many.
Haha maybe so
I actually was thinking the same, Kevin. Unfortunately, on this continent at least, protestantism has crept into the culture to such a degree that it manifests itself everywhere. At least the theology is good.
I can respect that, but I would like to touch on your comment about protestantism creeping in. It was a good point, but its been going on for a long time, one of the popes condemned it, calling it Americanism.
IDENTITY 2 - Revelation 17:2 ...'the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.'
"I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits, said Hitler ... Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organization of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organization into my own party." (Hermann Rauschning, former national-socialist chief of the government of Dantzig: 'Hitler m'a dit', (Ed. Co-operation, Paris 1939, pp.266, 267, 273 ss).
So this is a church that has influenced kings thoughout the past 2000 years and continues to have 'diplomatic relations' with nations all over the world. Now we know from history that the popes of the Roman Catholic Church certainly had 'authority' over the kings of the earth, which is how the Catholic Church was able to have so many Christians killed during the dark ages and inquisitions.
Take a look at this quote from 2007 ... "The Catholic Church is the only religious institution that can enter into diplomatic relations and that interests itself in international rights, acting through the Holy See, an international sovereign subject of singular characteristics." (Monsignor Pietro Parolin, Undersecretary for Relations with States, www.zenit.org/en/articles/holy-see-insists-that-it-has-right-to-speak)
This is an amazing quote in which the Catholic undersecretary unwittingly confirms the Roman Catholic Church as being the whore of Babylon! It is the ONLY religious institution that can have diplomatic relations with the 'kings of the world'. Amazing!
The Vatican now has 'Diplomatic RELATIONS' with 180 Nations
Also, the inhabitants of the earth have certainly been made drunk with the false teachings (wine) of the Catholic Church. Not only are there over 1 BILLION Catholics deceived by her teachings, even the majority of Protestant Christians still hold onto some Catholic false doctrines, like the Sunday sabbath, eternal hell fire, immortal soul, etc..Image, cross and relic adoration; Intercession of Mary; Prayers to Mary and the saints; Mass; Confession to priests; Purgatory; Prayers for the dead; Holy water; Lent; Penances; Processions; Pilgrimages; Celibacy of clergy; Monkery. None of these are Biblical institutions. Instead they are borrowed from Paganism and have been adopted by the harlot church of Rome.
Yes, typically telling those nations what they are doing is wrong. Like the priests and prophets did in the OT to the kings of the OT. Case in point, euthanasia, abortion, birth control, slavery, this list goes on and on. The fact that Hitler used the same God designed Hierarchal system for his own organization means nothing, Satan can't make a system of his own, he can just steal and corrupt that which God has already made.
Only ONE mediator between God and man, that one and only mediator is Jesus Christ, not mary praying for us or joseph, guadalupey or any other spirit of a personage, Jesus only. Mary and the gathering of the catholic faith is not the holy mother church , there is no holy mother church written of in the word of God, except our true mother which is heavenly Jerusalem. The spiritual whore comes from all religious people, not just the catholic faith.
I couldn't care less about the catholic position. There position has nothing to do with work and will of the Father in the workmen of the 11th hour. Nor are they in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit, they just like the vast majority of the so-called Christian faith will not repent and are ultimately the apostate church that the wheat flee out from among, just a bunch of religious hypocrites.
Just keep your belief system intact, before you know it, the call to repentance and the one and ONLY true tribulation and destruction will be upon you before you know it. Then what will you tell your children, family and friends OOPS ! I must have gotten it wrong, good luck with that, let me know how it works out for you.
You are engaging in dangerous heresies. Repent and win back your eternal life.
Are you saying that the church consists of onlySaints?
What about school teachers; should they only show love?
Priest and Bishop oppose God plan end times, just like Sanhedrin rejected Jesus or salvation. Catholic people have embraced Satan.
+James Petrycia evidence please? protestants believe on rupture, where can you find that stated on the bible?
Paul speaking to Corinthians. We will change instant.
First time i see a catholic reading the bible and then...failed... and sorry, Mark, Luke and John mostly are for jews. If we want to understand the word for christian we must read apostle Paul. He was the apostle choosen by God to the gentiles. God says the entire world will suffer and pay for sins or people think the world is not doing wrong things?. Sharing: Salm 2 and Zephaniah 3;8 i like the most but so many others. Read the bible people ans listen to Jesus and the Holly Spirit and not men!
IDENTITY 5 - Revelation 17:6 ...'And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.'
So this church, the whore of Babylon is drunk with the blood of the saints. Now notice that it doesn't say she just has the blood of saints on her hands. It says that she is DRUNK with the blood of God's people. So this church is guilty of not just killing a few Christians. She is guilty of killing MANY, MANY of God's people. Did you know that the Roman Catholic Church has caused TENS OF MILLIONS of Christians to be persecuted and brutally murdered? Yes, this woman is the Roman Catholic Church indeed!
+dee hee The Catholic Church, no matter how much dirt, bile, filth you coat it with, will still remain the genuine original, One, Holy, Apostolic, Universal Church founded by our Lord Jesus Christ for even the gates of hell will not destroy it.
dee hee Well, I hope you can see past her shortcomings and appreciate her teachings. You know, I just think the Catholic Church is just a victim of her own success and she though perfect, can not really please everyone. She will continue to become more successful though and eventually marry her groom, Jesus Christ. :-)
+internet explorer SHORTCOMINGS? HEARSIES? INVENTION OF GOD ON EARTH? CHILD MOLESTING PRIEST? HOMOSEXUAL LOBBY IN THE VATICAN? MURDERING MILLIONS OF INNOCENT? KEEPING THE BIBLE FROM THE LAYMAN? SELLING SALVATION? ......RCC IS A DEAD RELIGION FOR A GOOD REASON!
dee hee You forgot bride of Jesus Christ. :-)
+internet explorer RCC IS THE WHORE OF BABYLON! NOT THE BRIDE.
though they profess themself to be wise they became fools. the idol worship in this church is obvious.
+mr lavalley lol. We don't worship idols. We worship God alone. The saints (including Mary) are created beings and not gods.
If you refer to artwork as being an idol, perhaps you should be the one going back to read your bible? The 10 commanmdnets says not to make a sculpture of anything on Earth OR in HEAVEN and WORSHIP it. Then just 5 chapters later God commanded Bezalel and Oholiab to make sculptures of ANGELS. So either God commanded Bezalel and Oholiab to sin by making sculptures of things in Heaven, or you misunderstood the 10 commandments.
+Keith P whom do you say Jesus is? I know it's a simple question, it should be a simple answer. I'm not questioning your intelligence either as I've noticed your quite capable but, just think about it. I don't remember Any old testament sacrifices involving drinking blood or eating flesh. a simple answer to my question is found in acts 8:37. you'll be lucky if you can find it in your bible. compare it to other translations on bible hub.
+mr lavalley on a side note you might want to read acts 34-37
+Keith P statues, the rosary, sacred objects, artifacts, they are all idols. the removal of the second commandment makes this obvious. this guy is so humanist, no convicting doctrine, no gospel,no repentance and calling on Christ, he's also not talking about the witch covens, ascended masters and demons, or how other religions play along in this. It's so linear. don't preach the gospel and separate yourself from the world, just sit pretty I guess.
Light in the Darkness they are not idols dumbass
THERE IS NO R.C.C. OR POPE/PRIEST REQUIRED! JESUS IS THE "ETERNAL" HIGH PRIEST WHO MADE THE "FINAL" SACRIFICE!
4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.....ETERNAL and FINAL! NO POPE, PROPHET, PRIEST, SOCIETY, R.C.C.

The speaker is irritating for me to listen to and watch because of the hand movements. He would be better off to be handcuffed when making videos. I wanted to hear what the Catholic view is, but this video presentation is so irritating to watch and listen to, I am quitting a third through.
Gospel means Good News. Have you heard the GOOD NEWS? 6 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life....Notice there is no pope or RCC required? 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved,....No pope or RCC....29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”....NO pope or RCC. You don't have to go through a priest, Peter, pope or RCC! ...GOOD NEWS!
+dee hee The glorious beauty of Holy Mother Church is that She has formed Her beliefs and teachings based on the ENTIRE scriptures all taken together, and not just by cherry picking out verses here and there that fit a private interpretation as protestants such as yourself do, and then, declare those few verses as the full, complete teaching, while ignoring any other verse which says differently. You have ignored the verses in John 6 which say that you must eat Christ's Body to have life in you, and He says His Body and Blood are REAL food and drink. You ignore that He says unless we become as little children, we cannot enter heaven. You ignore that He says you must be reborn in water and in spirit to enter heaven. You ignore that He says if we don't forgive, we cannot be forgiven. You ignore that we must repent of our sins and James says we must confess our sins one to another. You also ignore James' words that faith without works is dead. You ignore that Christ said we must love God, and to love God is to do ALL He commanded. You ignore Jesus' parable of the Great Judgment Day. He wasn't dividing the goats from the sheep based on who claimed belief in Him.You ignore the fullness of what "believe on" even means. You have defined it for yourself..... You ignore that God's Church has always, from Abraham onward, had a supreme leader, be it Moses or Caiphas or Peter and His successors. If you look at ALL of scripture in proper light, rather than through your own flawed, very fallible, personal interpretation, everything the Catholic Church teaches can be found in the Bible. You also ignore that Holy Mother Church is the One Who WROTE and DETERMINED the bible, and then, you tell the bible's Author that She doesn't correctly interpret HER book........ And you also ignore St. Peter who declared that scripture is NOT for private interpretation as you do exactly that: pick out verses that suit you and determine for yourself what those verses mean. You ignore that St. Timothy declared THE CHURCH as the pillar and foundation of the truth. Catholics have 2000 years of Saints all teaching exactly what was handed down to them from the apostles from the very beginning. And you can read the writings of the apostle's disciples, and the writings of the disciples of the apostle's disciples, and on down through the centuries of empirical history, and see that they all taught exactly the same thing, generation after generation, century after century for 2000 years. If the protestant premise were correct, then there'd be only one protestant church rather than 40,000 denominations all teaching differently, yet claiming their private interpretations of the bible to be the correct one- AND you have no final authority to determine who is right or who is wrong beyond yourself. You pick the preacher that says what you want to hear, and when he says what you don't agree with, you go find a different preacher in a different church and different denomination...... GOOD NEWS??? Yes, the good news is Christ didn't leave us orphans to flounder in a sea of men's opinions as protestants do who, without exception, all attend a church founded on the private interpretations of a particular man who began that denomination. Christ established and left us ONE Church, HIS CHURCH, the HOLY, CATHOLIC CHURCH, endowed with the fullness of truth, to lead us and guide us unto eternal salvation. If Christ abandoned the Catholic Church when Constantine came along, and not until Luther came along 1200 years later, was truth once again restored to religion, THEN you want me to believe that Christ is a liar, because He promised that He and His Spirit would be with His Church ALWAYS, even unto the end..... And Her teachings lie beyond the corruption or evil of any individual within Her, a concept difficult for protestants to grasp when they all attend churches founded upon a man's teachings, so if the man is found corrupt, his teachings become suspect. No such problem in the Catholic Church. Educate yourself!
+dee hee Typical protestant response, since you can't refute a single thing I wrote-- change the subject and ignore, ignore, ignore.... I've yet to meet a protestant, especially a fundamentalist, who can and/or will intelligently address anything directly. I would say, may God take pity on your blindness, but even blind Bartimeus had enough vision to know he sat in darkness, and beg for light..... According to your fallible beliefs, the Jewish faith of the Old Testament and old covenant couldn't possibly have been the one, true religion established by God, Himself, because it's human leaders were a corrupt brood of vipers, right? And yet Jesus followed and obeyed all the precepts of the Jewish religion in spite of the failure of its leaders to do so..... Why? Because no human failure could negate what God had established as the true religion then- and no human failure can negate the Church of the New Testament either: the Inviolate Truth, Catholicism. Beg for your sight, blind one-
+julie s SORRY JULIE BUT YOU DREW LINES THROUGH YOUR WRITING?
CATHOLICISM IS JUST A RETURN TO OT JEWISH RELIGION. JOHN 6 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WHORE BUT TAKING COMMUNION WITH JESUS. NO CATHOLIC PRIEST REQUIRED! ... 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. < no rcc< no pope< no priest!
+dee hee I didn't intentionally draw lines. Don't know how that happened or how to change it. Catholicism is not a return to the Jewish religion; it is the fulfillment of the Jewish religion. When Jesus, all the apostles, and all the first disciples were Jewish, and the Church of the New Testament was a fulfillment of what was foreshadowed in the Old Testament, it's hardly beyond conception that Jesus' new Church would be similar in appearance and ritual to the previous. Can you please tell me where the bible states that a new covenant meant new everything, since that is your presumption. You are presuming that since you don't read a specific, spelled out plainly for you verse about something, then it must not be. You are presuming in your own view what Jesus meant by feeding on Him, instead of researching what the first Christians and their writings clearly state that it meant. You are content believing that you are wise enough to interpret scripture all by yourself. That's like trying to fully understand the US Constitution without knowing a thing whatsoever about America's history. It's also rejecting the authority of anyone else and being your own pope. (Incidentally, the word "pope" is derived from the Greek and Latin word for "father", and yes, it is in the bible. Just not where you're looking.)So can you tell me where the bible states that everything God had established as the way He desired to be worshipped before Christ was commanded to now completely cease and an entirely different way of worship was to now begin after Christ? Since you need everything spelled out for you word for word in the bible alone, where does the bible say that?Or will you be honest and admit that that's just one more thing you presume in your role as a private pope?I'd also like to point out to you, since you're so fond of that word "whore" that the only time that God ever uses that word is in reference to His chosen people turning away from Him and following after FALSE gods and religions. Many times the Jews were led off into captivity as chastisement for committing adultery with the false gods of other nations. He called them a whore because they were supposed to be HIS bride, HIS people, and He had entrusted to them ALONE His commandments and right worship. Did the infidelity of Jewish people make the Jewish religion God had established with them false and something to be rejected as well? If you are honest, you have to answer that, NO. It was the people who were adulterers, by failing to follow the Jewish laws and religion as God had commanded. The Jewish faith, itself, remained pure and right and the only way to God back then....... Now let's fast forward to the New Testament and Christ's new Church. You insist on calling the Catholic Church a whore, but you make the grave error of dismissing Her teachings laid down by Christ 2000 years ago along with the people not following those teachings. You fail to see that they are two different entities: one Divine and inviolate; the other human and failing. The only Church that can possibly be a whore in God's eyes is the one that has the truth, but fails to follow it just like the Jews did. If the Catholic religion is wrong, then God would never consider it a whore, just as He'd never have considered the Jews whores for failing to follow the Truth He had entrusted to them before Christ. But if the Catholic Church is RIGHT in Her teachings, but Her leaders and people are failing to follow those teachings, or are leaving Her to go commit fornication with false religions, then, She'd be a whore in God's eyes, just as the Jews had been ..... Think about it.
In other words, I don't disagree with you that the Catholic Church has become a whore, but it's because She has the Truth faith and is failing to keep it.
+julie s ONE AT A TIME JULIE, ASK AND LEARN! "Can you please tell me where the bible states that a new covenant meant new everything, since that is your presumption". I would NEVER presume that Julie. WORD OF GOD! 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second ... 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Read the Bible!!!
+Rhys B We do. Catholics are the ones who wrote and preserved the Bible. Protestants would have no bibles if it wasn't for us.
+Keith P The catholic church "preserved" the bible by releasing, now over one hundred (per)versions - come on! Did God not say that He would preserve His word??? I do believe that for English speaking nations the KJV 1611 is the Word of God in its pure form!

Enter
Except that there was an English translation of some of the bible going back to the 8th century, brought to them by the Catholic Church. Are you aware that there were 10 translations of the Bible in German before Luther provided his? The truth is refreshing!
COME OUT OF HER!
NEVER, SATAN, NEVER
+ibachmike3 Satan revised the duay reims 3 times, he also condones and sells modern bible translations. bible hub Luke 2:33. keep in mind, Joseph is not jesus's father and this even goes against Catholic doctrine. I was Catholic for 15 years. I left that heretical sham of an institution, repented and called on Christ, received the Holy Ghost and now my eyes are wide open. btw Jesus was never baptised as a baby. Ill get my answers from the bible, not an institution or a website like Catholic answers which can't even decide which bible to read from.
"Jesus was never baptised as a baby"
Duh. The Sacrament didn't exist yet. He instituted it (first making the existing baptism of repentance a sanctifying experience by having Himself baptised, then later commanding His disciples to "make disciples of all nations, baptising them...". There we see that baptism is the means by which someone becomes a disciple, aka joining the family of God. In other words, being "born again" into God's family is through water of baptism and reception of the Spirit ) therefore He could not have partaken of it as an infant.
Light in the Darkness Satan revised nothing, bible revision is needed to meet with current language. Jesus was circumcised which is the entrance to the old covenant. The new covenant entrance is baptism which can be done as an infant just like in the old covenant, Abraham was circumcised as an adult and his children as infants. Abraham was a foreshadowing of Christ. Read your bible and interpret it correctly.
ibachmike3 maybe you should focus on romans through philemon and you would realize that baptism is done by the holy ghost, not by water. also, the Catholic church's sprinkling is not biblical as it was full body immersion, receiving Jesus is done through turning from sin, and humbling yourself before him truly believing the gospel according to paul, not Peter. The doctrine of the new testament isn't Matthew through John and acts.
If your life wasnt completely changed, and your not seeing Satan in EVERYTHING without trying, you better start worrying. Going to Jesus and throwing yourself at his feet with the intention of turning from sin and asking forgiveness for it as if he was right in front of you is like asking for the red pill in the matrix. You won't need an institution to interpret your doctrine for you. Jesus is now in you, you don't need to go a building next week to receive him again, and again. The bible already told me that you'll take what I say as foolishness. 1 cor 2:14 the natural mind can't understand the spiritual things of god. To them it's foolishness
Do you know what you call a Catholic that has actually read the Bible?
A Protestant!
Daniel Date What do you call a Protestant that believes in sola scriptura? A HERETIC
LOL LOL LOL
You can have all the Catholics who are not familiar with the Bible. They never followed the Catholic faith and I wish you well with them. Do you know what they call a Protestant who searches for truth with an open mind and explores how the early Church interpreted the Scriptures? Yup, a Catholic.

Total BS!! The only scripture that has validity is the KJV!. Do your homework on how we got the KJV Bible. Nobody can remain a Catholic still and answer the call to obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ. The only open mind you are keeping is to Satan.
Justice Mars You can't be serious! No valid Scripture in Christianity until the 16th century! If that were the case then you can either toss out the Holy Spirit who would have been asleep for centuries or you can toss sola scriptura out the window. The writers of the KJV did not have anything but Catholic sources for their translation. We would prefer a "Thank you" to constant carping and condemnation!
