I was brought up Roman Catholic. In my 20s, I asked my priest about reading the Bible. He told me if I read the Bible on my own, I'd go crazy. I needed an interpreter. That's why we have the massal book. It's written in a way we can understand. This is how we were deceived. I've been out of the church 30 years now. Praise God He opened my eyes. I pray he opens my the eyes of my family and all those that are deceived by this doctrine.
I teach Sunday School. I have never seen or heard of something like this. With help from my church all of my kids got a Bible. I encourage them to read. Please tell your family were this happened, that’s wrong. The only person that got deceived is you. 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ Your worship and interpret scripture with 18 th century eyes. You will never understand it. Since you have to read sola fide into everything. Sola scriptura new doctrines from 16 century. No one had heard of that. That’s a great deceiving tool As a Protestant would say test the spirit of sola scriptura. You get different interpretations, divisions among the body of Christ. You get some that believe in th trinity. You guys are all over the place. With more none denomination coming from one another. But once a Catholic always a catholic. Come on back home.

(Where in the Bible does it mention a church named Catholic?) #16--Christ never said to confess your sins to a priest John 14:6 New International Version - And yes, IT MUST be IN the Bible!! Jesus said: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. ... No one comes to the Father except through me.." So, when a church teaches what contradicts what Jesus taught, which one is the truth??? If you say the church is right, that means Jesus is a liar!!! That erases ALL the 4 gospels!!! That leaves out ALL of Matt 16!! Along with that. you insist Jesus is God, then that implies God is liar. That erases ALL the Bible!! If you say Jesus is right, that means the church has lied!!! IT CAN NOT be both right!!! The bottom line is, the Messiah kept the Law perfectly, and we are to walk as he walked according to the Scriptures at 1 John 2:4-6. Those who do not follow Messiah’s footsteps are workers of lawlessness according to the Messiah himself.
Like many here, I was a Catholic for 55 years. I always read the Bible but only in the light of the Catholic Church until I left. Once I left and I saw the words in the Bible in a different way, the truthful way. I've tried to convince many in my Catholic family but they just don't want to believe. They refuse to hear the truth. I pray for them and other Catholics that they eventually see the true Jesus Christ. I have truly been reborn in the Spirit. I never experienced this as a Catholic. Praise the Lord. God Bless.
PRAISE THE LORD, @mjb839. I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm so glad for you like many others that God rescued you out of false religion. I was in a sister false religion to Roman Catholicism. Now I've been saved and have been a born again believer since March 4, 2013.
Another former Catholic here. Left a few years ago became a fully immersed born again Christian. I had to remind my family I still worship Jesus by the way they were acting. Two weeks ago I was bullied by a Catholic to admit I was Catholic and I did to avoid more bullying. Since then I’ve been wondering if I made a mistake. I took becoming born again very seriously and this video was literally confirmed I’m right where God wants me. Thank you so very much.
Some Catholics are saved. You can call yourself a Jesus believer. I was Baptist and baptized but just call myself a Jesus follower now. The denomination does not save us. Only Jesus can save us
Stick to Jesus, not a denomination. A denomination cannot save you. Roman Catholicism is so wrong about so many things. No denomination has everything right but some are more right than others. Jesus plus NOTHING saves you.
Gendron is wrong in his interpretation. You can use the mass as a celebration and a remembrance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. There is no sin to do that. Mike is made up his own gospel and that is incorrect. How people praise the Lord and pray to the Lord is not going to erase their salvation. Mike indicates it does erase salvation. That is so far from the truth. The gospel is flexible as well as in errant but you can do many different praises and worships to the Lord thy God and Jesus Christ and none of them will ever send you to hell. That is a laughing matter. Mike was a Catholic for 38 years and somehow he missed the queue so I think he's a good man but he is not an accurate pastor our preacher or evangelist he is not expository in his way of presenting the gospel. I don't think it is sinful of him it is just a different interpretation and I think it's wrong but he likes it so I won't say anything bad about him He's not sinning I know that. But the Catholic church is not sin not sin. That's why there are 5 billion Catholics it is a respected religion. In Christ our Lord amen
@@ggturner13 Mike is a sinner ( he'ld be the first to admit it!).. I too am a sinner, but redeemed by God's Grace...we are all sinners, that's biblical. I agree that there are different ways to praise our Lord, but I disagree with you on how to pray to God...the Bible tells us that the only way is through Jesus Christ...NOT Mary and NOT praying to the Saints! I find Mike straight down the line with his teaching and the fact that there are 5 billion Catholics does not indicate the true way.....in fact the true way is a narrow road and not determined by how many adherents there are. For the short time I have read Mike, he has impressed me with his knowledge of the scriptures and of his love especially for Catholics.....and from what I see, it is a case of loving the sinner but hating the sin! Catholics per se are sinners like the rest of us, but Roman Catholicism is a way to emprison a soul and not set them free. I have no personal axe to grind with Catholics....we are all loved by God, but there are those that will enslave you if you don't watch out! You may find listening to Messianic Jews a help...I can recommend "One for Israel"...their knowledge of the Hebrew scriptures , finding Jesus in the Hebrew Bible ( what we call the OT ) can be a real eye opener.
@@bridgefin Explain what you me that you say mike is wrong The same thing happened to me i was a devoted practicing Catholic till I began to read the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit Do you want to debate with me i will not by own opinion prove by Scripture that Catholic church is not Christian in any shape or form this church does back further than Christianity began to Babylon I will win the debate very easy because i believe that the truth will set you free

@@kevinanderson5122 Help me here gang, how can you be a devoted Catholic and not read the Bible? Don't get me wrong, going to mass every Sunday is a good thing, but it doesn't make you devout.
Everything the church teaches is based on Jesus. Let’s not forget how you got your bible. It’s bc of tradition of the church you have your Bible. Let’s pray for one another on our journey. Love you brother in Jesus name 🙏
@@Simpatico84 Everything the church teaches is definitely not "based on Jesus". That is almost the opposite of the truth, my friend. But first and foremost, the real church are all who believe on Christ for their salvation. The catholic "church" is but another cult amongst all these false tradition- and law-worshipping "churches". If everything the "church" teaches would be based on Jesus, how come it has taught different, opposing things and ideas throughout the centuries? Jesus never changed the truth of God's character. There are so many false teachings within the RCC it is ridiculous to state otherwise!
wrong. Satan wants you for focus on Jesus and not Mary because Mary is the woman that crushes the head of serpant and defeats the beast in revelation. learn the bible rev12
I was once like you I belong to my Catholic church. I did tried to listen to others to find the truth until I go back to history and went back to my Church Catholic which founded by Our Jesus Christ. We are saved by the Grace of our God and the works of Our Jesus Christ.
If you want the truth read your Holy Bible. If you want the history go back to Israel. You will learn that Jewish and Catholic has resemblance. I work here in Israel that's what I observe. Jewish has bread and wine and catholic has bread and wine.
@princesskinuthia - I hope you at least kept our book, the Bible, close by……👍🏻 History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
@@chickapeas5646 i have! Can you not answer the hard question above concerning it. It is the most importing historical question you can answer about your rule of faith. Why would you NOT answer it?
This was fantastic! Former Catholic here, then JW, and now I know what grace is and have a relationship with Jesus. What freedom❤and meaning my life has now
You can't have God's grace if you stubbornly cling to heresy though. Heresy is a mortal sin that will lead you to Hell. God is truth and He gave us the truth in the Faith He left us in the apostolic Church. There is no other. Heresy is a lie. It's a spiritual crime, and so it may not be as apparent as other gross sins people commit. If you understand how people can be deceived into error like this and thus risk their salvation, then you already grasp this point. You need to do some serious studying and praying on this. Most likely you say "former Catholic" because you never really understood the Faith. In that case, having been baptized/confirmed Catholic, you also have the plain moral obligation to educate yourself properly before deciding to abandon Christ in favor of these newly invented false religions.
Former Catholic here. I love hearing mike speak! I pray that my Catholic family would come to Christ! If they only knew the peace and joy that the free gift of grace could bring! ❤
It's very sad that many Catholics fall for this guy who never really knew his faith. Mike Gendren will never debate an informed Catholic who would easily refute his assertions. For instance he says the church teaches faith plus works. I challenge him to show anywhere in the catechism of the catholic church which teaches that??
@@henrybayard6574 Do Roman Catholics need to do Sacraments to be saved? (Religious Works). Do they need to do anything beyond being sorrowful for sin, turning away from sin and to God, and putting their faith in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation? (Change of heart & mind to have faith) Do they give glory to Mary and Saints through prayer, hope, kneeling etc? That's sin. The religion is teaching sin to be a "good religious person." Don't tell me praying for my friends and family who are alive is the same as praying to ancestors or ancestor worship. RCC is not the only religious group teaching ancestor glorification and worship. RCC likes to think they are unique but they much closer to non-christian religions than Bible Believing Christians.
@Laura Lenarz I am receiving materials to help lead my family to a saving faith in Jesus Christ from Mike Gendron's Proclaiming the Gospel website very soon!
@@Ben-pk4cv You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Sadly clueless however typical. If you are going to slander someone's position and faith, you should at least educate yourself on the topic. Seriously.
@@Ben-pk4cv if you wish to have a thoughtful discussion about this topic then I'm ready to discuss. But if this is just calling people names or using insults that won't convince anyone. So let's start with your first question. We believe there are seven sacraments. Two are necessary Baptism and communion. Two are helpful in your walk with christ. Confession and confirmation. Two are for vocations. Marriage and holy orders. The final one is anointing of the sick, called last rites. If you have other questions please just ask and I'll respectfully answer.
This is awesome! I was raised catholic and began having issues as a second grader, I was made to attend counseling from a priest at the age of 8. This is because I refused to go to confession, the priest later tried to convince me that confession was necessary because he the priest was likened to a telephone....my question was then why do I pray at night? That did not go over well. I later questioned the need for a missilet *spelling* over a Bible. I questioned all the creepy statues, and why I should pray to Mary, and what is the reason to have the nun, it also bothered me that the catholics believed my little sister who died at birth actually went to purgatory and not to Heaven because she was not baptized before her death and that my mother bore the guilt of this. I'm sure St. Anne's rejoiced when I left the catholic faith. Thank you for bringing to light what some of us have known for a long time.
the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
@@1234poppycat I feel sorry for you. You don't know what it's like to live under grace, because you don't understand grace. We owe a debt to our Creator for our sinful nature. Why did Jesus willingly give His life on the cross? Because according to Romans 3:10-12, "As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one." What did Jesus mean when He said, "It is finished?" Why was the veil at the Holy of holies torn in two in the Temple? Finally, why is it in catholicism that the priests think they're supposed to sacrifice and crucify Jesus over and over and over again? Don't they believe that Jesus rose from the grave and lives forever? Do you?
All Catholics are free to pray direct to God. Of course you are. You are encouraged to go to confession once a year only but even that is not absolute except if you have committed a mortal sin (which the Bible tells us can lead to death in 1 John 5:17) which would be something like adultery, murder etc.
An unbaptized baby would not go to Purgatory since they have no personal sin. As far as we can say from divine revelation and reason, unbaptized babies go to Limbo, where they do not receive the vision of God as do the redeemed, but they are not punished either since they have no personal sin. Otherwise, we just don't know of God's plan for them. Who said that your mother was guilty for your sister dying? That doesn't make any sense. The Church doesn't say that. There is no requirement that you have to like statues. Statues are religious art, and that art is supposed to lift your heart and mind to God. Sometimes the artists fail, and sometimes there are people who do not like art, but none of that is an excuse to separate yourself from the truth.
@@MillionthUsername Where in the Bible does it say anything about purgatory or limbo? Since these are not addressed in the Bible, they do not exist. They are a lie from the pit!!!
I married a Catholic 44 yrs. ago. I was raised evangelical. My husband eventually left the Catholic Church and we raised our boys with the true gospel.
I am a former Catholic also, I am so grateful God led me away from the Catholic church. I was able to bring up my 2 children in an Evangelical church and they both had a saving faith in Jesus Christ. I grew so much in my faith & continue to grow & share my faith with others.
How about sharing Catholic truth and biblical truth .... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
Praise the LORD He got you out of the religious mess and deception of RCC. God bless you richly and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ Nanette. I myself was in a similar religious deception called Greek orthodoxy and now have been saved by God's grace and out of it for over 10 years.
@nanetteekin - i sure hope you kept our book, the Bible, close by. Its what EVERYBODY uses including the cults as their rule of faith and try to justify their way through it. 🤷🏽♂ History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself? Peacce!!!
Former Catholic here. It was always about religion growing up for me, never an intimate, personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God every single day that I am saved totally by His UNMERITED Grace! I too pray that my devout catholic family would soon give up religion for relationship before its too late!
Do you think that maybe you just didn’t have great Catholic role models? There are many Catholics that have a great relationship with Christ and read the word of God daily. I would encourage you to not view your experience of Catholic upbringing as the law of Catholic understanding and faith.
@@sherbert1110 @printsbyanne is the Black Sheep so to speak of the Family. His prayer for his family to give up religion is his way of having the world revolve around him.
Look at the lives of the Saints. For us Catholics it is the Science of the Saints. We can learn to love everything about Heaven by studying their lives. You need look no further than St. Teresa of Lisieux. From the beginning of her earthly life she was taught to love God. So many Catholics raise their children to love The Blessed Trinity, The Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, and The Saints. We are taught from a very small age to love our Guardian Angel. Your experience is different from mine. Did you ever read stories from Treasure Chest? My parents bought the entire set for me and my siblings. My mother read the life of Saint Teresa from Treasure Chest to us well before we attended school. I still remember Whoopsy the Angel. They teach love of all things in Heaven. I bought the same set for my family. Your decision to leave the church is yours. Maybe you will like the Catholic Church more as Popes under the second vatican counsel work to make it protestant. This pope francis is a heretic. For Catholics trying to hold to the traditions before vatican II, the path is narrow but holy. I love being Catholic. Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph. He means so much to me. He represents manly Catholic strength. Have you ever watched Song of Bernadette with Jennifer Jones. It is on this UA-cam free. If you love God and want to see a Catholic example of Love of God and the Blessed Mother, see it. Other Catholic movies are available. The older ones are better. These anti Catholic people have a negative reaction to good works. See if you agree with them after you see an older Catholic Movie about a Saint. May you make it to Heaven, Stephen Bascio. You may be Italian. If you are, some terrific Saints are from Italy. if you are French, the same applies. I hope you make it to Heaven! Nothing on earth comes close to it.
I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion. I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
What an excellent man! Every converted Roman Catholic that I know has such a good grasp of the Gospel….it’s so encouraging. God is all powerful. Thank you for a great video! God be praised.
As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !! Timothy 4:1 says people will depart from the true faith ..... " So Mr Gendron unable to find a link beyond 500 years must conclude his man made churches have departed from the truth !! The Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church
Very well said Isobel! The LORD bless you and keep you. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing such as this man Aja Deacon. The Roman Catholic cult is nothing but a mother wolf 🐺 that has clawed lost sheep in the clutches of demonic deception and satanic lies. I love what the Bible says in psalms 119:105 ~Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.~ That is sufficient for me to guide me by the the Holy Spirit into all TRUTH: JESUS CHRIST!
Catholics who became Protestant or only Catholic in name. I knew absolutely nothing about the Catholic Church orange teachings and they probably if they heard them never believe them. However since they were so bad Christians and now belong to a church that has made them it’s a good questions that’s a good thing because they are closer to God now than they ever were. As I said they were Catholic in name only and not in practice. I was raised a Catholic and I was raised with the Bible. It was a part of my religious education. You were probably too cheap to buy a Bible and to read it. In my life as a Catholic I have read the Bible from cover to cover over 40 times how many times have you read it.
I find it so disturbing that more and more Catholic's get Very Angry when others try to present the true Word of God. Short circuits any conversation with them.
@Romans1118 *Lucy is at work. After all Roman Catholicism is Lucy's kingdom.* you said I find it so disturbing that more and more Catholic's get Very Angry when others try to present the true Word of God. Short circuits any conversation with them.
My stepdad has shared with me several stories of his time in catholic school and Catholic Church. He told me it was confusing whenever he asked questions about catholic doctrine like where does it come from, asking questions about the Bible and how they weren’t allowed to read the Bible themselves. He left the Catholic Church when he met my mom and went to her Bible teaching church and realized he was deceived by the Catholic Church. Bought himself either the NIV or NASB and read it himself. He said it felt like someone removed the veil that was over his eyes and saw Gods Truth in the Bible. It’s amazing what God can do saving people who are lost.
"realized he was deceived by the Catholic Church. " Rather, was deceived by someone at this bible teaching Church that decapitated the bible from the faith from which it came, claiming that they knew better how to interpret it. And in leaving the Catholic Church, he left Christ on the altar, his resurrected body and blood, a means for receiving God's grace. This bible believing Church didn't actually trust Jesus: - THIS IS MY BODY. They inserted words, THIS IS A SYMBOL ONLY OF MY BODY. - BAPTISM NOW SAVES YOU. They inserted words, BAPTISM IS A SYMBOLIC ONLY ACT OF FAITH (it does not save) Those are just examples.
You're wrong J Good. There are those of us who do listen so Mike is not preaching to the choir. You would do well to listen too, at least be considerate.
@@jeremywj It’s a common misconception that Catholics don’t read The Bible during Mass. The truth is that The Missal, is almost entirely made up of Scriptures from The Bible, and that is the main text that is followed by Catholics during Mass.
@@jeremywj In my Catholic Church we have service sheets with the readings and Gospel for the day clearly written Also the Catholic daily and Weekly Missals have all the bible readings
Most Excellent Teaching! Thank you for teaching the truth in love ! Praise God for your holy boldness in Jesus’ Mighty Name! Salvation means repenting of your sins & BELIEVING on the LORD JESUS CHRIST NOT RHE CATHOLIC CHURCH OR THEIR FALSE DOCTRINE!
...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount. {Hebrews 8:5} The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows. He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven. He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness. He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice. He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit. He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles. He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world. He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints. He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment. Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice. In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months. How so? This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation. And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church. She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments. She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man. Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God. Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense. Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth. This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God. And goeth into perdition.
Thank you pastors Jon & Kyle bringing Mike Gendron into this extremely informative podcast regarding Catholicism, the Bible, and most of all the Truth. As a former Catholic of over 50+ years which included 12 years of catholic parochial school, this podcast with Mike Gendron not only reaffirmed my leaving Catholicism but also provides some excellent pointers on witnessing to my family and friends who are still catholic. I love our Redeemer Bible Church immensly and the work our pastors do to help guide us to the truth. My congratulations on the 100th episode!
But these men are not telling you the truth about the holy Faith. They teach heresies from the 16th century. Remember the warning in the NT not to receive a new 'gospel'. There is only one, and that is the ancient one, the one we see in history evangelizing the world and building a Christian civilization. Claiming that God waiting 1500 years to bring the 'true' one is just completely irrational and flies in the face of reality.
Let us keep just Pointing our dear Roman Catholics brethren Back to The Holy Bible Word of GOD And wait for GOD The Holy Spirit show them The Truth of The GOD of The Holy Bible!!!!
@@johnyang1420 yes NO salvation outside the Catholic Church .... the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
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 has put into words my experience when trying to reconcile what I was reading in the Bible with Catholic doctrine. For me it was like being gas lit; I started to question what I knew or thought to be true. I remember feeling uncomfortable with the answers I was receiving, noting they'd be a very convenient explanation for the Catholic faith but ran contrary to what the Bible said. For me, the way I found to move forward was to put in place a firm guiding principle of any belief or teaching must be supported and aligned with biblical scripture otherwise I'd have to disregarded it. In doing that It became clear in brief time I didn't want to remain in the Catholic church. It was an easy but not so easy decision to leave (Catholic's know what this means), however it was the right thing for me, I have never looked back in regret ever. When you know you know, you know?
You said: For me, the way I found to move forward was to put in place a firm guiding principle of any belief or teaching must be supported and aligned with biblical scripture otherwise I'd have to disregarded it. Me: There was no NT biblical Scripture to follow in the early decades of the Church. ALLL they had was preaching of the apostles which is tradition. So tradition comes first and then Scripture. Like most Protestants, you have only Scripture and that is why you don't understand it. You are missing the context in which NT Scripture was written and that is the context of the teaching of the apostles.
The truth is like lemon. Bitter to the taste, but good for the body. On other subjects it took me three months or more to overcome the lie i believed to be true. (kind regards of the status quo). I'm now piggy in the middle regards Young Earth Creationism and the Theory of Evolution. They don't like it when you don't favour one or the other.
@@markrymanowski719 Fine but you need to know where to look for truth if you are going to find it. Scripture cannot be it unless you have an authentic interpretation. And there are millions of interpretations to choose from and most get it wrong.
I invite you to read my 2 comments headed by Number # 1 = CHALLENGE = Can = any = Protestant, including Mike Gendron, give the answer to this most = basic = and fundamental Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a Man and die on the Cross ?? (( Note = a review of the following 26 points numbered from A to Z is necessary before answer )) Number # 2 = Who are the = Real = Christians - Catholics -or - Protestants ? FACT of the matter is that Protestants can = never = get the correct answer to the most basic yet necessary question which I posed in Number # 1. The question is = can you ? Because if you cannot answer this question, then your knowledge of Jesus, Christianity, the Bible is wrong and questionable and this can = only - result in jeopardizing your salvation
In fairness I would recommend you have an expert on the Catholic teachings unfortunately which your guest is not. You need to be honest about the teaching, then feel free to disagree.
If you’re married to someone, you do right by them…. Not because you’re married to them…. But because you LOVE ❤️ them. We are the bride of Christ… we keep the things he commands us out of the Love of God that Jesus has shed abroad in our heart. I’m other words, Jesus was saying it’s a RESULT of Love that one is keeping the commandments. Not the other way around. Jesus was stating a fact of “The WAY”
@@TruthinLove33 Yes and we keep to his church .... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
@@1234poppycatI’m sorry, but those verses don’t PROVE the Eucharist. They symbolize communion. Jesus wasn’t dead at the first supper so clearly, the bread and cup were metaphors of his flesh and blood. God strictly forbids cannibalism. You can’t marry scriptures to fit into what you want them to be. This is what the Catholic Church did to these scriptures. Jesus used metaphors for Himself constantly. There is absolutely no reason to believe He would break His own commandments for the contrary. You have to cross reference to read scripture correctly, and remember what God forbids before you decide that it’s ok. This is very dangerous theology.
@@kellyanne7225 so the truth is that your interpretation of the words of Jesus are a much are much watered down and not the full truth. Why do you think that many of his followers left him after saying this is intolerable language??? In John. 6. Why was this practised for 2000 years continuously??
@@1234poppycat Watered down? How about not there? You can’t insert traditions and rituals into the scriptures. There is NO Eucharist in the Bible. No scripture supports this. Communion, yes. But the Eucharist is completely pagan! Cannibalism? Hocus Pocus? Christ being sacrificed again and again? Where is scripture do find that this is acceptable? Seriously? I’ve read these verses. I’m very familiar with them. Not a single word eluded to any of this. Instead, scripture forbids this. Oh, but never mind that. Scripture only works for Catholics when they believe in the man made, pagan insertions have to go with it. Funny, God claimed His word, and Christ’s death on the cross was sufficient. I’m curious, when did His followers “leave Him”? And just because something is practiced for 2000 years absolutely does not mean it’s correct. Pagan practices have been around and practiced far longer than that. That’s a strawman argument.
My first encounter with the errors in Roman Catholicism was during a Catechism class at St. Jude Shrine, the largest Catholic parish in Lagos, Nigeria. I was there because I wanted to convert from 'Protestantism' to Catholicism. I chose Roman Catholicism because of the short duration of its service. Anyway, on the first day of the Catechism class, the Reverend Brother assigned to us asserted that we won't bother ourselves with the first eleven chapters of Genesis because according to him, these are fiction. He also took a poke at the burning bush story involving Moses describing it as childish. I was so pained by these blasphemous utterances that I wrote to the church leadership, but was ignored. Some years later, I read in an international magazine that the then Pope Benedict had endorsed a research into the origins of man. It was then it dawned on me that the Reverend Brother was speaking the mind of the highest Roman Catholic authority in Rome. I feel so sorry for everyone being held captive in this demonic system. We might think that they are doing it willingly. Their minds have been totally captured by satan and his demons to the extent that truth is now offensive to them. What believers owe Catholics is prayer - Fervent prayers for God to open their eyes to the truth.
The first part of Genesis (for adults) is not a physics chapter explaining the creation of the World but the earliest of believers saying "Why are we here?" "What is the point of our existence?" and obeying GOD !! The video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation.

What the brother told you is against Church teaching. Genesis is written as an historical narrative and the literal sense must be preserved. Do you want to take back what you said now? Recent popes have been weak on refuting the claims of evolution, but they have not endorsed it, nor claimed that Genesis should not be read or believed. Pope Piux XII, in Humani Generis (1950, I think), allowed for discussion by experts in the field restricted to the possibility of pre-existent living matter before Adam - I don't think he should have said this - but with the caveat that Adam and Eve are our first parents, that all men descend from them, that the soul is immediately created by God, etc. He condemned "polygenism," which would be to say that we all came from a group of the first humans and not Adam and Eve. The allowing for discussion by experts was because then as well as now the supposed scientific community insisted it had clear evidence of evolution. The Pope only allowed for discussion on that one point and was preserving Christian doctrine by the rest of what he said in that context. You also say that the Faith delivered to the Church by Jesus Christ Himself is "demonic." Doesn't that mean that you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit? "Fervent prayers for God to open their eyes to the truth." What 'truth' is that? Is there another 'truth' other than what Jesus gave to the Church?
@@MillionthUsername What I have realised is that it takes an intervention by God Himself for deluded people to be saved. I read an account of a believer who was burnt to death on the stake by the Roman Catholic church. In the story recorded in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, the victim cited Scripture to defend his claims that salvation is by faith in Christ alone. The Catholic inquisitors replied that the Pope is the head of the church and that his word is superior to Scripture. They went ahead and killed the innocent man. No intellectual discourse or citing of Scriptures can open the eyes of people that are under demonic influence. We need to pray for God to open their eyes.
A a former devout Catholic, I learned and am still learning, that it is one thing to come out of the Church, but it is a very difficult struggle for the doctrines they instilled in me to be purged. It is happening a little at a time by the grace of God. When the Exodus occurred, they still had to be delivered from the Egyptian pagan culture that they had been enslaved in.
Mary, I have a question, Jesus gave to the Apostles the Authority to preach & teach the truth. Does Authority, therefore, matter to be able to preach & teach the truth, and to ensure that it continues and that the preaching and teaching is done correctly, should not that Authority be passed on by those who had/have the Authority to preach and teach the truth or can anyone preach & teach, whatever they like without that Authority??? Would anyone allow someone to teach their children if that person has no authority to teach children??? Why is this so difficult to understand.
@@peterxuereb9884 Jesus said he did nothing that his Heavenly Father didn't tell him to do. His Father did not tell him to stop keeping the commandments, and the Saturday Sabbath, and the high Holy days that point to the coming kingdom of God to this earth at the time of either the First or Second Resurrection spoken about in Revelations 20:4-5. Catholics are told they are to consider the POPE as their spiritual father, and that he has more authority than God or the instructions in the Bible. They are thereby instructed to keep Sunday as THEIR sabbath. The Catholic Church changed the ten commandments by leaving out the second commandment that said we should not have any graven images (statues) and just to make ten again, they divide the tenth commandment into two commandments. They instituted the pagan idol worship of Mary, known as Mariolatry, along with prayer to a multitude of saints. Praying to the dead is an abomination to Almighty God. It is the sin of necromancy, and is encouraged through their many pagan rituals. Almighty God, our Creator, sent His Son into the world to be our Savior. Jesus, the Messiah, is the only One who the Father has raised from the dead. He is now the GLORIFIED SON of God, sitting at the right hand of the Father. This is only a very brief surface of several other REBELLIOUS acts of disobedience to Almighty God that have been passed on to other Christian denominations through them. There are lots of factual evidence in history to back up all of this. Of course, the Bible is the foremost Word of God, but few really read or study it.
@@peterxuereb9884 *Not coherent again. Where in the Bible ever said Roman religion or RC clergies have authority?* you said Would anyone allow someone to teach their children if that person has no authority to teach children???
I'm a former follower of the Baptist novelty. Find a confessional and walk away from this lunacy. It has absolutely no basis in early Christianity. There's a reason that they don't want you to learn about early Church history.
I too grew up as a Roman Catholic plus all the required Sacraments. I felt empty following the Sunday Masses on Camp Lejeune. I was invited to a Wednesday evening Service in Jacksonville, NC February 1976. John 14:6 brought me to my knees at the altar invitation. I accepted Christ as my Savior that night.
Congratulations Daniel E.F.! The LORD brought you out of darkness of false religion and into the Light that is Jesus Christ--John 8:12. PRAISE THE LORD!

Where in the Bible does it say my reward is with me? Revelation 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” At the end of the Bible, Jesus Christ encourages us with the urgency of His desire to return.
Anyone can have a personal relationship with Jesus. Everyone who claims to be Christian, no matter what denomination, should be having a close relation with our Lord.
@@janetwillson3502 My question is what is the chapter and verse about a personal relationship, is it in the Bible or is it a catch phrase. Thank, for your response, Good bless!
@David19746 Thank you, David, for your response, God Bless you! The reason I ask that question is because I often hear people state that they are Bible Believers, yet they add to the Bible. In. my opinion this does harm to the faith and witness to unbelievers. I have met atheists who knew the Bible better than those who were attempting to evangelize them. Thanks for citing the Holy Scriptures. You mentioned Matthew 7:21 would you not say that Matt 7:21 is more of a warning than responsibility? By the way that is a great passage that reveals the importance of doing the will of the Lord! James 1:22 is another great Scripture that instructs us to be doers as well as hearers of the word. I am a bit perplexed about how it ties into my original question about the Catchphrase "Personal Relationship"! Thank you once again, my friend!
Can you discuss about the Sabbath? I feel like many view 9 out of the 10 commandments so important but exclude the 4th commandments which the only one that God sanctified and said to remember it .
In the First Creation, the OT Sabbath pointed forward to a greater New Testament fulfillment: in the New Creation, we would rest in Christ on the Lord's Day, the Day of Resurrection, the 8th day. St Ignatius of Antioch was taught by St John. A great example of He who hears YOU, hears Me (JESUS)! “If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death-whom some deny, by which mystery we have obtained faith, and therefore endure, that we may be found the disciples of Jesus Christ, our only Master.” To the Magnesians, (A.D. 110).
I am thanking God that this man speaks what God would want people to hear about the salvation God has already given us. I pray many will listen to this, not just hear it. Scripture has given us what we need to know about our salvation; we need to read and study it and this will free us to be in right relationship with our God.
" Scripture has given us what we need to know about our salvation" Good reason to be Catholic, including the words of Jesus below. Through the Eucharist, we receive the Resurrected Christ, a means for receiving his grace. _53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him._ (Jn 6)
The grace of salvation is not found in the bondage of Roman Catholicism, it is found in the the belief that Jesus died for our atonement once and for all time, we do not need a reenactment of this sacrifice every day. Believe Jesus and take Holy Communion because he already sacrificed for us to stay close to him.
@@elawwangler4569 When we receive the resurrected Christ in the Eucharist, as ALL Christians did for 1500 years, it is a means for receiving his grace.

Why do you not and follow a 500 year old new gospel, a man-made tradition ??
@@TruthHasSpoken You apparently trust men on earth more than Christ's teaching; tradition doesn't save, God and his word does. I'm so thankful that a great enlightenment came in the 16th century, so people can know the truth of the word of God; it is not a new gospel, "saved by grace" is the gospel of Jesus since his followers were called "The Way".

I once believed much of what Gendron believes. I too was an Un informed Catholic like Mike and was easy prey for those who take scripture verses out of context. And so what happens is you say, yeah, we do call priests father, we worship statues, saints and Mary, we believe that if you’re good enough, you get to go to heaven. Gendron admits that he won’t bother reading the early church fathers including those who had direct contact with the apostles. I was shocked to find out just how many Evangelical/Protestant pastors were abandoning the faith, the true faith for the falsehood of Catholicism. How could so many men who had studied, believed, breathed and preached the scriptures come to such a heretical understanding that the Catholic Church was the Church founded by Christ. That was a dangerous road to go down, because once you actually are willing to listen to what they have to say and you begin studying the issue for yourself, you find out that you have a real problem. What a shame, because what I came to realize after 20+ years was that I had been believing the traditions of men and misinterpreting much of the scriptures. Yes, I said traditions. I had accepted particular statements of faith that were considered essential such as the Trinity and that Jesus is 100% man as well as 100% God. These creeds of faith we’re already established prior to the scriptures yet I believed that all truth has to be found in the scriptures. We denied the magisterium of the church and yet that too was in place before the canon of scripture was established by the very magisterium that I rejected. That no longer made sense to me. Obviously there is much more than the points that I brought up above. And it should be stated that I also still have tremendous respect for many in the Evangelical world. I even have a a number of good friends who are Evangelical. I attend two Bible studies. One in the Catholic Church where some Evangelicals come on a weekly basis and another in an Evangelical church where several individuals have tried to convert me to no avail. Their often perplexed by the fact that I’m a Catholic who actually reads and knows the Bible.

The same St John who followed Jesus for 3 years, who witnessed his crucifixion and saw him resurrected. A great example of He (St Ignatius) Who hears you (St John) Hears ME (Jesus) Does the Church of Gendron have a proper Eucharist? No Does the Church of Gendron have a Bishop with succession from the apostles? No Could the Church of Gendron, only in existence for the last 30 years, be the CATHOLIC Church spoken of below? No _“See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”_ Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110). Ignatius below is 100% consistent with St John = THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only as taught by the Church of Gendron. _“They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.”_ Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110). Lot's and lots of reasons for Mike to dodge the early Church writings.

Later in his life, Ignatius was chosen to serve as Bishop of Antioch; the fourth-century Church historian Eusebius writes that Ignatius succeeded Evodius. TRADITION--NOT BIBLICAL uFACT!! --- What is the basis for the belief that Ignatius of Antioch knew the Apostle John? This seems to be a traditional belief. For example, The Catholic Encyclopedia entry from 1910 says "It is also believed, and with great probability, that, with his friend Polycarp, he was among the auditors of the Apostle St. John." AGAIN-TRADITION!!! ---Ignatius of Antioch doesn't mention any personal connection to John in his authentic letters. Irenaeus mentions that he met Polycarp, who had known John and at least one other apostle, as he refers to "apostles" in the plural being known to Polycarp (Against Heresies 3.3). Ignatius did write letters to Polycarp and to the church at Smyrna. There are two letters of Ignatius to John preserved in Latin, but these are universally recognized as forgeries dated to the middle ages. There's no reliable evidence to connect Ignatius directly with any of the apostles. So, as you say, this is likely a case of "tradition based on forgery."" ---------
Why doesn't Revolve Bible Church take up John Martignoni's offer and let him speak to your Church, countering the error's of Gendron? What does it say about your pastor Day who rejects hearing from a well educated Catholic?? You should welcome an actual practicing Catholic to speak. What a great way to evangelize!! *Why have fear in doing so??*
I have a strong Catholic background and one of my brothers was a priest but he is late now. I have being learning a lot since I came across one of Mike Gendron's videos this week. I just want to reach my Catholic family and friends who are still under this religious deception. I tried to talk to my mother about us having only one mediator and that no one else is qualified for that not even Mary but she argued against that... I just hope that she will be able to know the truth soon but I won't stop talking to her about what I am learning. I will also be sharing with my other family members and friends. Thank you Mike Gendron for teaching us the truth.
having a relative as a priest does not mean that you understand Catholicism If you were a devoted Catholic over the years you would know the bible back to front like I do ... That is why 3 Church of England Bishops have become Catholic in 2022 alone ... Millions come to Catholicism cos of the bible
As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !! Timothy 4:1 says people will depart from the true faith ..... " So Mr Gendron unable to find a link beyond 500 years must conclude his man made churches have departed from the truth !! The Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church

As a former Evangelical Protestant Minister, I wonderfully discovered the early Church and the Early Church Father's (St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and St. Ignatius of Anitoch). Along with a Former Protestant Minister who turned to the Ancient Church, Dr. Scott Hahn, I by God's grace came BACK to the Catholic Church. I agree for so many years there was bad cathechesis that was not properly teaching. The Catholic Church is Holy Mother Church as it claims. The Church gave us the New Testament and Canon through the Church Council. The Bible is indeed a Catholic Book. To go deep in Scripture is to cease becoming Protestant. God Bless you and yours

Catholic apologists work overtime to complicate the simplicity of the gospel. They’re keeping their people in bondage. Unfortunately I am seeing a rise in ecumenicism within higher church types and they are welcoming Roman Catholics with open arms which is in fact, hating them. If we loved them, we’d give them the true gospel and refute their church’s lies. Good work guys, keep it up!
The doors of the Catholic Church swing both ways. Nobody is forced to stay. It's not possible to debunk Catholicism unless you lie, like Mike Glenderon. He can only lure ill-informed souls away from Catholicism. He could never snatch a knowledgeable Catholic.
Nobody is complicating anything. Jesus commissioned the Church to teach the nations ALL that He commanded. If you take a close look at it, you will see that it is the heretics who take away from the gospel and try to pass this off as simplicity or whatever. Heretics removed books from the Bible and dropped many key Christian doctrines in favor of newly invented ones. So yes, there is less content because they chopped off whatever didn't suit their tastes as now religion had become a "personal" and subjective thing.

Catholics believe you must have faith and follow the Lord until the end of your life. The state of the soul at death is what will be judged. Catholics do not believe they are saved by "works alone". The reference to "faith alone" is from Romans 3:28 - "you are justified by faith apart from works OF THE LAW. Protestants always leave out the "works of the law" out which is a reference to Jewish works of circumcision and dietary rules that were necessary for salvation. By the way, the words "faith ALONE" are only in the book of James which refutes salvation by "faith alone". We. are not saved by faith alone.

At my divorce, the church rule was that I could not receive communion because I was 'in sin'. This was a big deal! I wondered why God would do that to me. HE didn't! It was a Church rule; not Biblical...
The "rule" you refer to applies only if you remarry outside the church. Because the sacrament of marriage unites the couple as one, you are considered married to your first spouse, unless that marriage is invalidated by an annulment. Being divorced is not a sin; the sin happens if you remarry without an annulment. No one should receive Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin, regardless of the nature of the sin.

You know that name of the Catholic means Universal and it was fist used by Christians in the first century. “The first use of the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning "universal church") was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 50-140) in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (circa 110 AD). He died in Rome, with his relics located in the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano.

This old guy said that he was Catholic for 35 years and never opened the Bible. If he really was Catholic then he went to a Catholic Mass. At every Catholic Mass we read scripture from the Old Testament and from Psalms and from the new testament and from the gospel. This guy is obviously lying. He said that he consulted a priest witha question about Christianity. Where in the bible does it say to do that? No where! The Bible says. 1 Tim 3:15 to ask the Church if you have a question about Christianity. The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. The Church says to consult the Catechism if you have any question about how you are supposed to act in the house of the Lord. Catholics are not saved by their works. Our works prove that we are saved! The Catholic Church feeds, houses, clothes and educates more people each year than any other group on the planet.

"""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 !!
At 23:43 he falsely claimed that the Church anathematized the 'gospel.' No, read the decrees and the canons. They anathematized the new heresies, recognizing them to be false. So it is you and those who follow you who are under the anathema of God because you won't believe the gospel that Jesus gave to His Church. You insist on creating your own new religions which spring from your own private interpretations of Scripture without any sort of reference whatsoever to the Sacred Tradition of the apostolic Church. And in taking this course, where you cast aside thousands of years of teaching from the one entity that evangelized the world for 1.5 millennia, you put yourselves outside by your own free choice. He said that Purgatory was 'apostasy' or something like that. How does that follow? Being purged of attachment to sin and patiently suffering through God's cleansing action so that you can be free to enter Heaven without spot or wrinkle, what's wrong with that? Of what does the 'apostasy' consist? To much attention to detail regarding sin, holiness, judgment, punishment, Heaven? Does it make you mad that God punishes sin in believers? That doesn't fit into your easy-believism do-nothing 'gospel'? And what's hilarious is that your whole point is to tell everyone, and Catholics, that they can take it easy with sin since God doesn't care. God just wants to sprinkle you with glitter and dress you up like a doll and give you smooches. Sin is just "taken care of" and "covered" by the "finished work," and all you have to do for an eternity of bliss is accept this simple fact. If this were actually true, you wouldn't be trying to target Catholics since we already believe, but I notice how your easy-believism for us, according to you, turns very dark and sends us to Hell. How do you explain that? I'm suddenly an apostate and not a Christian, not because I don't believe or trust in Jesus, but because I don't buy what you're selling? Your several hundred year-old fraud that doesn't appear anywhere in the history of the Church? So God, when it comes to me and all Catholics throughout history is not so easy to please, is He? He is hell bent on throwing all supposed Christians in history into Hell because they didn't believe in the easy-peasy-don't-worry-about-sin that you peddle. Makes zero sense! If you actually believed, which I'm sure you don't deep dpwn, that God doesn't really care about sin at all, then you wouldn't have such a strong desire to destroy the faith of Catholics. You would just view them as having a different view of things. At 26:48 he falsely claims that a priest will refuse to say a mass for a deceased Catholic "unless indulgences are purchased." Indulgences are NOT purchased, and having a mass offerred up for a soul is not an indulgence. He claimed he was 'Catholic' for half his life, and the second half is spent "ministering (lying to) Catholics, and he pretends to have knowledge he doesn't have. The stupidity of his comments is shocking. Yes, the Church mediates the grace of God to people, that's the whole point of Jesus forming the Church and then sending them out to found churches and appoint other men to take over, etc. Of course you just ignore all that because you think New Testaments fell from the sky or something, that people could simply read Ephesians 2 and not darken the doorway of a church from there on out. This is also stupid. We see the Apostles meeting in council to make decisions for the whole Church. We see a new Apostle appointed to take over the office of Judas. We see Paul going up to run his gospel by the Church to see if it was okay. It never changed from this. Yes, you had to get baptized by the Church. You can't baptize yourself. You can't instruct yourself. The Faith was passed on by word of mouth, by being incorporated into the body. The Church was always hierarchical and sacramental. Then he revisits the offering of mass for the dead and says it properly. You give the Church an offering. He doesn't take offerings? Bogus nonsense. "The worker is worth his wage." Jesus took offerings. It says that there was a common purse and that Judas used to help himself to it. Is this nut going to accuse Jesus of "selling" the gospel? Such hypocrisy coming from this guy. I missed the "bondage" part. You're in "bondage" if you want a priest (or anyone else!) to do a specific thing for you which is not just a personal favor but involves their vocation in life and takes up their time and costs money, but you won't offer them a stipend or give an offering? Based on what, dingbat? Stinginess is a virtue now? For a wedding, you are taking up time and space in the church, running up the electric, causing people at the church to have to prepare for you and clean up after you leave. You are taking the priest's time away from other things. So he gets a stipend and the church gets a fee for the facility. Is that not standard everywhere? Do you get to use church buildings and staff for free? If so, isn't that unjust and doesn't amount to slavery - which is the meaning of 'bondage'? I would love to check how you and money get along. I'm very curious now.
Roman Catholicism is another religion, totally at variance with Christianity. Period. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 capture God's judgement on people who reject the truth and embrace demonic doctrines which Roman Catholicism symbolizes.
@@pearladams4817 It's true that the false religions of the 16th century are another religion. Read a history of the Church, or even a good secular history. The Catholic Church IS the Christian Church of history. It *is* Christianity. The Church has no 'demonic doctrines'.
Mike needs more Catholic Theology as I feel as a catholic he was poorly cateschised. He should rather be debating Catholic apologists so we hear both sides of the story.

@@wesleysimelane3423 What Sherbert said is true as Peter said in 2 Peter 3:16 “There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.” This is the very reason Christ founded the catholic church to teach ALL truths, written and spoken. Mike Gendron’s not the church. The Bereans who are Hellenistic Jews that don’t have the doctrine of Sola Scriptura “received the word with eagerness” from Paul, meaning they were taught of the truth or catechized before they became christians.
Correctly catechised ? Have you read and studied the ROMAN catholic catechism and the other Roman catholic literature? It's blasphemy and I urge you to read it because it's not of GOD but of man and their own unbiblical ideas . GOD bless you
I was lost after just 1 minute. I am sorry kinda look like half empty cup. Even if what you say that catolicism is wrong is true, but why continue to disprove them and convert them the work is the same to introduce Christ to the world, the harvest is abundant, many non-christians in the world last time I check. Mike you have been Catholic, why not give thanks that you started Catholic, and not non Christians. May God bless all of you. Remember what is important LOVE. God is LOVE.
No Christian religion is perfect, but the essense is there, to make known the ways of the Lord. Last time I check Catholics got many martyrs, many of them died for the faith, God is good many of us did not have to go through the sacrifices they have made in order to keep the faith alive. They were chosen by God and they responded. I urge all of you to stop, this is not what God commanded, He said to Love, not disprove who is right or wrong. If you still have the urge to do it, try going to the most unconfortable areas in the world, go places that is non-Christians and do your work there. 😊
Thank you so much for this. I’m really tired of people thinking it’s the same religion. I know Christianity is not a religion though. Of course it’s a personal relationship with our Lord
Where can I find a personal relationship with Jesus? Are you a Bible-only Christian? I am not Roman Catholic nor Am I a Post Reformation Western Christian. You guys as well as the Catholics say that you are practicing the true Christian faith. Yet, you look nor act like the Christians in the New Testament. If you were to come to my Church, you will hear the Bible read in the original language, no it is not dead in our Church. I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion. I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
praise GOD people are starting to see and ask questions and thats what we want to save people, to know they have the lord in there heart,God gave us this free gift, he gave his son who died for us so we can repent and take him as our savior , and when you know God is always there he will never leave you ,he says call on him pray to him in the secret place where its quiet ,dont boast in public or do repetitious prayers for all to see for they have there reward, god wants you to pray to him glorify him serve him,he wants to know you. His last words were for i never knew yo depart from me ,but god i delivered devils out in your name, i prayed for people in your name, but i never knew you, those are words you dont ever want to hear.
@@MufasaRizz "Mike Gendron was Catholic for years." So you don't have a Catholic on board. Your either on the ship of off the ship. Can't be both. Mike is just a run of mill Protestant bashing the Church for his own livelihood . This too shall pass as the Bible say , not even the gates of hell ( or Mike Gendron) will prevail.
This is so sad...Why does this man never debate or dialog with a Catholic scholar? Because he does not know what he is talking about. He has a very distorted and twisted version of Catholicism, it's just so embarassing, and tawdry. I was a Reformed Calvinist for 28 years. I was totally convinced. At some point I had questions...I could not accept as Calvinists do that God created many people for eternal damnation. I also began to see that the protestants had a very selective view about the bible. The change for me came when I read John 6 and truly understood what Christ meant about his Body and Blood....I realised that protestants did not have a clue about this! It took two years but I was recieved onto the Church. Having experienced both, I LOVE the fullness of the faith in the Catholic Church. I can recieve the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist! Don't trust this man!
They come to realize that some (not all) of their doctrines are 100% man-made. This has occurred due to the 16th c invention of Sola Scriptura, which decapitated scripture from the Church and faith from which it came. Its fruit was, is, and shall ever be: doctrinal chaos, confusion, and division.
I'm a former catholic because of the Bible I went from thinking the Earth spun to knowing it's fixed and immovable because of the Bible and my God given senses.
If you studied the bible that would bring you to Gods Catholic Church as it has done over the last 18 months with 3 Church of England Bishops !! The bible certainly does not say the Earth is fixed !!
@AJA Deacon 1 Chronicles 16:30: "He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." We are under a solid dome called the firmament. The sun makes circuits and God stopped the sun and moon for Joshua. Some of modern science is from the Satanic freemasons.
@@tonyornelas9374 what does your God given senses tell you the answer to this is sir… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
If salvation was by faith alone why Christ said in Mt 25:31-46 that man without good works will be thrown to hell? Clearly Paul is being misunderstood by private interpreters of scripture.
@MavourneenKathleen-l5j *Contrary to your claims. Jesus and APostles actually took doctrines from Scriptures only. 180 plus verses say so. Even when they preached, their points did not go beyond the principles of Scriptures. Clearly not a 500 years old doctrine.* *So many early writers mentioned the Exact Term "Scripture Alone". Clearly not a 500 years old doctrine.* you said This belief of Sola Scriptura is 500 years old, personal interpretation.
Why did Christ decide not to write down his commandments and not ordering any of his apostles to do so? Instead he chose to build a Church on Peter and send him and his apostles the Holy Spirit to tell them what they shall do. There's a reason why Christ didn't resort to scripture and today we see it. Every man who reads the scripture thinks he can understand it and creates his own doctrine. How many evangelical churches are out there? More than 450,000? That's why God knew that a Church will preserve the teachings of Christ through the Holy Spirit more faithfully than through scripture. [Acts 1:2]
And what are the books of the new testament? God's breathed. I'm guessing you know more than the people who knew Jesus and learned from him first hand? If what you say is true, then that still makes the Catholic Church apostate. If what you say is true, then how do you know anything about Christ to be true? Didn't you learn about Christ from the Bible? Didn't you just quote from the Bible? Do you believe Mary was sinless and a virgin at the time of the resurrection? She was a sinner and had sons and daughters. Is the Roman apocrypha canon? No Is the Lord's prayer trust worthy? Yes All these things you learn in the Bible. Man left to his own devices creates vices. Man left needed the writing of the new testament and Jesus cited the old testament many times especially the book of Isaiah. I hope you aren't gnostic. Because deconstructing Christ like you have is a quick way to fall away from trusting in him as the redeemer. If you aren't trusting the Bible to be true, then you are not trusting Christ to be true-he is the living word of God afterall. But if you don't trust fully I'm Christ, then you aren't saved. And once again Christ left us with his holy spirit. Christ left us with his teachings. Nowhere else can you truly learn about Christ, if not first from the Bible.
@@Theonly_Onyx The books of the N.T. are not as the prophetic books of the O.T. The O.T. books were commanded to be written. The books of the N.T. were letters used at that time for communication between humans, as phone is today. It was the apostles themselves who were inspired by God and they taught mostly orally and that has been transmitted from generation to generation until today in God's Church. Certainly, even today we'll find scripture from these Godly inspired apostles but it's the Church who we have to follow not the medium they use to communicate.
@@chilenobarrucia you contradicted yourself pal. If they are godly men appointed by God and they taught orally, wouldn't what they wrote down still be true? And if you don't trust their writings, then what is your church based on? The old testament is written down too. It seems like you are putting the church above the first hand teachings of Christ. And the word of God has been written down since the first time it was spoken, so I have no idea what you are talking about. It's going to be hard to leave Catholicism behind but if you keep seeking the truth, you'll find it.
@@chilenobarrucia and you didn't answer my questions. Don't skip over them. I would like answers since you think the Catholic Church is holy. Once again if you don't trust the ENTIRE word of God, then you don't trust Christ.
@@Theonly_Onyx The bible was made and given to the world by pope Damasus I in ~382. Does that mean that all Christians that didn't know Jesus in the first 3+ centuries didn't know his doctrine? If the Church had decided not to make the bible, would that mean Christianity would be doomed? The reason we trust the bible is because it was given to us by the Church and not by some private scholar.
Hello fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I spent over 50 years being a member of one side that’s being debated in the comments here. I’m choosing not to reveal which side I came from and which I believe in now. I lost the closeness of a dear family member as a result of my switching so I know all too well what debate and division can do. This leads me to say that while it’s 100% fine to discuss various interpretations of the Bible and try to flush out what it is we feel in our hearts that God wants, I think it’s extremely dangerous to condemn the other side and say those folks are all headed to hell. Did it ever occur to us that heaven just might be filled with saved Catholics AND Born Again believers? In the end, isn’t it ONLY God who has the ability to see into the “hearts and minds” of ALL of His children? Perhaps we should think about how some of the nastiness, divisiveness and condemnation in some of this discussion might be helping the enemy’s cause and grieving the Holy Spirit. Just a thought.
Mike dodges the whole topic of how early Christians understood scripture. This includes St Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of St John, the SAME St John taught by Jesus who witnessed his crucifixion and saw him resurrected.. A great example of Luke 10 : He (St Ignatius) Who hears you (St John) Hears me (Jesus) Does the Church of Gendron have a proper Eucharist? No Does the Church of Gendron have a Bishop with succession from the apostles? No Could the Church of Gendron, only in existence for the last 30 years, be the CATHOLIC Church spoken of below? No “See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110). Ignatius below is 100% consistent with St John = THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only as taught by the Church of Gendron. “They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110). Lot's and lots of reasons for Mike to dodge the early Church writings. Yet, he tacitly trusts in the authority of the Church he objects to to even know what books belong in his New Testament. "I think it’s extremely dangerous to condemn the other side and say those folks are all headed to hell." The Church of Mike believes in Eternal Security. There is nothing Mike can do to lose his inheritance, so he has no fear to say what he wishes. From his website: _a permanent right standing before God and the promise of spending eternity in heaven._ He doesn't see it dangerous at all.
@@stever4181 Catholic's TRUST Jesus .. he promised to lead HIS Church, the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth, to ALL TRUTH. Not _endless_ doctrinal chaos and confusion. ETERNAL SECURITY - So when the Church of Gendron decapitates scripture from the faith from which it came, and speaks of the man-made invention of eternal security, which contradicts scripture itself, we can reject it. THE LORD"S SUPPER - And when the Church of Gendron states that the Lord's Supper is symbolic ONLY, contradicting Jesus : THIS IS MY BODY, and the Christian faith for over 1500 years, we can reject it. Obeying the fallible and un-authoritative Church of Mike instead of scripture is doing just that : _placing his religion before the words of God_ It makes Jesus out to be undependable and a liar. He's not the divine author of doctrinal chaos and confusion.
It all depends if they were born again believers and followers of Jesus Christ and saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, Debra (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). NO WORKS AT ALL, BUT THE FINISHED OF CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN 19:30.
@@ericevearitt3317 "born again believers" One is Born Again scripturally .... AND for the first 1500+ years of Christianity - ALL over the world, wherever you met a Christian, through Baptism. My baptism write up below: The Old Testament Prefigures a greater New Testament reality: The Waters of Baptism are Salvific. - Noah and his family were saved by the water and cleansed humanity of sin, the Ark representing the Church. - The Israelites were saved by water from Pharaoh’s army crossing the sea - The Israelites were again saved by water when Moses struck the Rock God foretells his Spirit would someday reside not in Jerusalem’s temple built by man but within mankind himself: _25 I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances (Ez 36)._ St John the Baptist says that Jesus would come baptizing with the Holy Spirit: _“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire_ (Mat 3:11). _I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit’_ (Jn 1:33). St Paul speaks to the New Testament fulfillment, through Baptism, our body being the temple of God’s Spirit. _Do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit within you, which you have from God (1 Cor 6:19)?_ We receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, the external washing by water signifying (a sign, a symbol, but not a sign or symbol only) of an interior spiritual change within us. Born Anew (Again) - through baptism, we are “born again” scripturally _3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicode′mus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 3,5)._ Regenerated and Justified - All Sacraments are means of receiving his Grace (we are saved by Grace) _when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life (Titus 3: 4-7)._ Sanctified - the exterior sign of water signifies the interior spiritual change through baptism. _11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God (1 Cor 6: 11)._ Baptism Restores Sanctifying Grace and Cleanses Us of ALL Personal Sins _And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name (Acts 22: 16).”_ Baptism Saves Us - by having the Spirit of God in us; God can’t be any more explicit - _“Truly, truly, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 5).”_ - _Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 3: 21)._ - _He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned_ (Mk 16: 16; believing / having faith means to follow all that Christ commanded. He commanded that Christians be baptized as a means of receiving his grace) Note, I can cite Christian men for this whole time period who taught exactly what scripture teaches. The Church of Mike can not. Examples below. “Moreover, the things proceeding from the waters were blessed by God, that this also might be a sign of men’s being destined to receive repentance and remission of sins, through the water and laver of regeneration,-as many as come to the truth, and are born again, and receive blessing from God.” Theopilus of Antioch, To Autolycus, 2:16 (A.D. 181). Worth repeating: How is does one receive repentance and remission of sins .... through the water and spirit (the laver or regeneration). BAPTISM. Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know the bible better than St Cyprian? NO WAY! “[W]hen they come to us and to the Church which is one, ought to be baptized, for the reason that it is a small matter to ‘lay hands on them that they may receive the Holy Ghost,’ unless they receive also the baptism of the Church. For then finally can they be fully sanctified, and be the sons of God, if they be born of each sacrament; since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’…[O]nly baptism of the holy Church, by divine regeneration, for the kingdom of God, may be born of both sacraments, because it is written, ‘Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.'” Cyprian, To Stephen, 71:72 (A.D. 253). Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know scripture better than St Hilary? NO WAY! “We are circumcised not with a fleshly circumcision but with the circumcision of Christ, that is, we are born again into a new man; for, being buried with Him in His baptism, we must die to the old man, because the regeneration of baptism has the force of resurrection.” Hilary of Poitiers, Trinity, 9:9 (A.D. 359). Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know how to interpret scripture better than St Basil? NO WAY “This then is what it is to be born again of water and of the Spirit, the being made dead being effected in the water, while our life is wrought in us through the Spirit. In three immersions, then, and with three invocations, the great mystery of baptism is performed, to the end that the type of death may be fully figured, and that by the tradition of the divine knowledge the baptized may have their souls enlightened. It follows that if there is any grace in the water, it is not of the nature of the water, but of the presence of the Spirit.” Basil, On the Spirit, 15:35 (A.D. 375). Where are all those early Christians preaching the fallible Church of Gendron?
Thanks Mike. May your inspirational and important work prosper in Jesus's mighty name. I love your style. So clear and logical. With my family still Catholic and the odd friend, I will be listening to all your evangelical tips. We know how heavy the cultural, traditional and spiritual indoctrination can be. May the Holy Spirit give me the strength, wisdom and boldness and also deliver from any fear of rejection so that I might be used to evangelise to Catholics and to glorify God
There is no glory to God from Mike's testimony. Just another false teacher trying to lead people away from Christ. But being actively anti-Catholic does bring fame and fortune...in this world. But rejection of Christ does not end well in the next.
@@jgood3047 Sorry for those of you that can't question. How can any Catholic glorify God unless he's vaguely acquainted with His word. Once you've read it cover to cover and still have the same view, then fine. Continue to challenge what you know nothing about
@@jgood3047 I actually have read the appocrypha as well. I plead you put on the spirit of humility and recognise the centrality of Jesus and His word and the personal relationship with Him in our faith, which is not a religion. Remember I've been Roman Catholic and even as one I knew there was something wrong. Mike is a wonderful teacher, far more eloquent than I. All I know is that I believed lots of lies and things that contradict the bible, that I was grounded in the cathecism but was seriously seeking my Heavenly Father and later on, after years of struggle He had mercy and saved me
QUESTION: WHAT DO I SAY TO PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THAT MARY ANSWERS PRAYER AND GO TO MASS ON EASTER, CHRISTMAS AND WHEN THEIR DAUGHTER TURNS 15 YEARS OF AGE, CELEBRATE “ QUINCEAÑERA”? THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS ..!
You say to them, "You are right. Our Lady offers prayers to the throne of God on our behalf. Alleluia." You should also say to them, "Go to Mass every Sunday, not just twice a year."
Right! Mary don't answer prayers, her Son answers the prayers. Did you ever deny anything to your mother that was easy for you to do. ie: turning water into wine was easy for the One who created the Universe
*Everyone can see Roman religion is a man made religion. Only RCs could not. 95% of RC doctrines and 95% of RC clergies did not come from God's Word. Why would a true religion have such statistics? Lucy has b - ded the eyes of RCs; so they could not C.* 1. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet Bible says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47. 2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39. 3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10. 4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to God only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10. 5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26. 6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19. 7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5. 8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians. 9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18. 10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”. 11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10. 12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10. 13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6. 14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it. 15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same God. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
I believe God will save people who have been deceived but honestly and humbly try to follow Him. God knows our hearts - we don’t see our fellow Christians as He does. However, when someone sees the truth but they turn away because they’re too proud to admit they may be mistaken, that is a very dangerous place to be! I try to remember this when discussing with Christians who believe differently from me. Condemn the error, not the believer God loves. Don’t compromise the truth, but be sure you speak in the Spirit of love and humility, rather than the spirit of arrogance and hate. When Jesus’ disciples did the latter, He said, “You do not know what spirit you are of!”
Wrong…the Bible is very clear on this. He that believes on the Son has life, he that does not believe does not have life but the wrath of God abides on him. This is totally accurate because the number one problem we have at birth is REAL SPIRITUAL DEATH. If we are going to be with God we must be born again. This is what Jesus was telling the religious leader. That which is born of flesh is flesh but that is born of spirit is spirit. You must be born again. Period. You must worship God in spirit and in truth. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
@ I don’t think you understand my point, and I think we agree. Let me use a specific example: The majority of Christians believe God will roast and torture people in hell for eternity for only 80 years of sinful living. This is not just or fair, and the Bible consistently and repeatedly states that the wicked will be “cut off”, destroyed, burned up, gone, no longer exist. So that horrible belief about our God of love, mercy and justice is a lie. As you said, the Biblical requirement for salvation is faith in Jesus. So those who love Jesus and have been deceived on things like this can still be saved, and we’ll all have our misconceptions corrected when Jesus returns. I stand by what I said, because the Bible is clear that we are to judge right from wrong, and leave the judging of souls to God.
You must understand one simple fact. Jesus Christ cannot deny himself. When a Grace gift is given by the very Lord that suffered for our salvation how can he pardon anyone that has rejected it. Consider Jacob and Esau . Jacob I Love, Esau I hate. On the surface it would appear this is a contradiction of Gods love. This is actually an anthropopathism. A simple “language of accommodation that assigns human emotions and attitudes to God in order to reveal his infinite character and policies to finite man”. Both men were born spiritually dead just as all of us were. Not only that, both were Jews by race. The Bible states…all Israel is not Israel. One believed in the coming of the Lord ( Jacob ) born again while the other rejected it. Esau remained spiritually dead even though through emotional revolt and weeping did not attain salvation. If you are going to worship God you must do it in Spirt and in truth. You must have a human spirit number one, and you need to grow in grace by bible doctrine resident in your soul. The antithesis to this is found when Jesus is confronted by the RELIGIOUS Jews. They are claiming Jesus is performing miracles by satan. Jesus refutes them and states they are in danger of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The unpardonable sin. Actually the only sin one goes to hell for. It is in fact the rejection of Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit substitutes his Spirit for our lack of human Spirit to make perspicuous to our souls who and what Jesus Christ is. Rejection of this knowledge is tantamount to calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Thus He leaves and this person remains spiritually dead. Had he accepted this knowledge and believed, the Holy Spirit would have made a human spirit for him and he would have been born again.
You would learn the truth from the bible and Gods Catholic Church .... Well the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
@@bridgefin Exactly, Lies, Gossip and pitting God's children against each other. We have to pray that Mike G will confess his sins about this chat and others. He is acting as the son of perdition.
Remember that this is gendron's opinion and not the perfect word of God. No one is perfect. Jesus says no one is Good are righteous until glorification when you die. Mike has a job trying to call Catholics a false religion. He doesn't know one way or the other. God will have to teach him when he dies and he is glorified. He will be saved most likely, but nobody knows if we knew we would be in heaven
I am not catholic. I have been watching catholic exorcist interviews. If they are not true followers of Jesus then how do they have the power of the holy spirit to do that?
@johnsteila6049 *It's a fact RCs don't follow the Bible. 95% of RC doctrines and 95% of RC clergies did not come from Scriptures.* you said You (and many others) think that Catholics don’t follow The Bible.
@4:38 how do you "TEACH" if you don't READ THE WORD that you are teaching about? How do you EDUCATE anyone about something you don't have knowledge about? How did you even get the JOB to teach in the 1st place? Well, thank TMH for the convictions, desire to read The Word for one's self.
May I recommend that Mike Gendron and his followers read this book - 'Where We Got the Bible. Our Debt to The Catholic Church' by Henry G. Graham who was brought up in the Calvinistic Scottish Kirk and became a minister in that church. In the book there is also an account of his conversion 'From the Kirk To the Catholic Church'. Maybe you could also answer the following questions: 1 Where did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book! 2. Where did Jesus tell his Apostles to write anything down? 3.Where in the New Testament do the Apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book? 4. Where in the Bible is God's word restricted only to what is written down? 5. Protestants claim that Jesus categorically condemned all oral traditions (Matt 15:3,6 Mark 7:8-13). If so, why does He bind his listeners to oral traditions by telling them to obey the scribes and Pharisees when they "sit on Moses' seat" (Matt. 23:2)? 6. Protestants claim that St. Paul categorically condemned all oral tradition (Col 2:8). If so why does he tell the Thessalonians to "stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter "(2Thess 2:5) and praises the Corinthians because they "hold firmly to the traditions" (1 Cor. 11:2)? 7. Who in the Church had the authority to determine which books belonged in the New Testament canon and to make this decision binding on all Christians? If nobody has this authority can I remove or add books to the canon on my own authority?
@@stever4181 Would you please specify which man made traditions you are referring to? You haven't answered the questions I posed because you are unable to do so. Jesus founded a Church - "the foundation and pillar of truth". Nowhere does he or the Apostles leave us with a book. The canon of Scripture was not finalised till the Council of Carthage in 397 - a council of bishops ratified by the pope.

It appears that you place less importance on God's spoken word to man (the Bible) than you do what a religion says about God's spoken word You: "this is just you seeting yourself up as decider of what to accept and not" Me: This is a comment I expect from someone that does not read and understand God's word.

@@francissimpson3904thanks for the post, I totally understand and agree. A good source to check is David Anders who became Catholic after many years of research. Peace.
Hebrews 11:4-7 4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Fear God, not man. Get out of man worshipping man made traditions. Any revelation that does not give glory to God only is from Satan. Remember satan and his ministers of light, they steer away from Jesus. Amy praise that is not to the holy trinity is blasphemy. I heard catholics that tge deceased saints arre spiritually alive and hear their prayers. I tell you catholics, that Jesus lives in me, so pray to me for intercession. Does that sound blasphemous. ? . Does kneeling to statues, rosary break the law. ? Is trying to bribe God with indulgencies ? really bribing ? Calling & Crucifyng Christ is paganism, Calling God to send his son again and again, mocking the work on the cross, once and for all. Mary comediatrix, there is another synonym meaning mediator of grace. ....I pray God. You maybe religious good people, but that is not what God is looking for, but faith alone in Christ. "this my son, listen to him". "you believe in Gid, believe in me" notice he did not say polytheism,l : angels, spirits and idolatry. Love you, repent.
Not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of God,but he who does the will of My Father. Only place in the bible that says faith alone is where it says that it is not by faith alone! I'm sorry my brother's,there is no short cut to Heaven.God has done His part,we must do ours. If you understand the 7 churches in the book of revelation you will understand why you are having these discussions you are having now. Staunch Catholic
The will of the Father is to repent of our sins and receive Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Our salvation comes from God and God only. Staunch Christian here. Why do Catholics not refer to themselves as Christians? I don’t say I am a Baptist. I am a Christian.
@@carolthompson302 Because Catholics are the original Christians...... lest we forget the Protestant Reformation. That by the way reformed nothing and only split the Catholic Church into countless orgs. to the mess were in today.
Im not sure if Catholics are saved but i often who else do YOU owe thanks to for this.. History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Bridgefin, I strongly DISAGREE with you. However the good news is that the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6:2 that ...NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.... you can read it for yourself without any bias. My friend, on judgement day is too late. Repent and believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST now, and you will be saved. You can read the words of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for yourself regarding salvation: John 3, John 6:29,40,47; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 10:9-13 and Ephesians 2:8-9. 😊
srich, I disagree with the gentleman who said that 'No one is saved until they die and are saved judged.' Why I disagree is because it contradicts Hebrews 9:27 and 2 Corinthians 6:2.
Thursday evening. The day before Jesus was crucified. At the same time, the Sacrament of Holy Orders was instituted, and Our Lord ordained His Apostles, giving them the authority of Persona Christi.
How have Catholics lied about Mary? Catholics do not worship her or think she is a savior. Mary's only role was to point to her son Jesus. Jesus first miracle was at the request of his mother (changing water into wine).

And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

I was brought up Roman Catholic. In my 20s, I asked my priest about reading the Bible. He told me if I read the Bible on my own, I'd go crazy. I needed an interpreter. That's why we have the massal book. It's written in a way we can understand. This is how we were deceived. I've been out of the church 30 years now. Praise God He opened my eyes. I pray he opens my the eyes of my family and all those that are deceived by this doctrine.

The only person that got deceived is you.
6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ
Your worship and interpret scripture with 18 th century eyes. You will never understand it. Since you have to read sola fide into everything. Sola scriptura new doctrines from 16 century. No one had heard of that. That’s a great deceiving tool

They refuse to hear the truth. I pray for them and other Catholics that they eventually see the true Jesus Christ. I have truly been reborn in the Spirit. I never experienced this as a Catholic.

Some Catholics are saved. You can call yourself a Jesus believer. I was Baptist and baptized but just call myself a Jesus follower now. The denomination does not save us. Only Jesus can save us
Why did you feel the need to leave the Catholic faith?
Stick to Jesus, not a denomination. A denomination cannot save you. Roman Catholicism is so wrong about so many things. No denomination has everything right but some are more right than others. Jesus plus NOTHING saves you.
Gendron is wrong in his interpretation. You can use the mass as a celebration and a remembrance of what Jesus did for us on the cross. There is no sin to do that. Mike is made up his own gospel and that is incorrect. How people praise the Lord and pray to the Lord is not going to erase their salvation. Mike indicates it does erase salvation. That is so far from the truth. The gospel is flexible as well as in errant but you can do many different praises and worships to the Lord thy God and Jesus Christ and none of them will ever send you to hell. That is a laughing matter. Mike was a Catholic for 38 years and somehow he missed the queue so I think he's a good man but he is not an accurate pastor our preacher or evangelist he is not expository in his way of presenting the gospel. I don't think it is sinful of him it is just a different interpretation and I think it's wrong but he likes it so I won't say anything bad about him He's not sinning I know that. But the Catholic church is not sin not sin. That's why there are 5 billion Catholics it is a respected religion. In Christ our Lord amen
@@ggturner13 Mike is a sinner ( he'ld be the first to admit it!).. I too am a sinner, but redeemed by God's Grace...we are all sinners, that's biblical. I agree that there are different ways to praise our Lord, but I disagree with you on how to pray to God...the Bible tells us that the only way is through Jesus Christ...NOT Mary and NOT praying to the Saints! I find Mike straight down the line with his teaching and the fact that there are 5 billion Catholics does not indicate the true way.....in fact the true way is a narrow road and not determined by how many adherents there are. For the short time I have read Mike, he has impressed me with his knowledge of the scriptures and of his love especially for Catholics.....and from what I see, it is a case of loving the sinner but hating the sin! Catholics per se are sinners like the rest of us, but Roman Catholicism is a way to emprison a soul and not set them free. I have no personal axe to grind with Catholics....we are all loved by God, but there are those that will enslave you if you don't watch out! You may find listening to Messianic Jews a help...I can recommend "One for Israel"...their knowledge of the Hebrew scriptures , finding Jesus in the Hebrew Bible ( what we call the OT ) can be a real eye opener.

@@henrybayard6574 Do Roman Catholics need to do Sacraments to be saved? (Religious Works). Do they need to do anything beyond being sorrowful for sin, turning away from sin and to God, and putting their faith in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation? (Change of heart & mind to have faith)
Do they give glory to Mary and Saints through prayer, hope, kneeling etc? That's sin. The religion is teaching sin to be a "good religious person." Don't tell me praying for my friends and family who are alive is the same as praying to ancestors or ancestor worship. RCC is not the only religious group teaching ancestor glorification and worship.

This is awesome! I was raised catholic and began having issues as a second grader, I was made to attend counseling from a priest at the age of 8. This is because I refused to go to confession, the priest later tried to convince me that confession was necessary because he the priest was likened to a telephone....my question was then why do I pray at night? That did not go over well. I later questioned the need for a missilet *spelling* over a Bible. I questioned all the creepy statues, and why I should pray to Mary, and what is the reason to have the nun, it also bothered me that the catholics believed my little sister who died at birth actually went to purgatory and not to Heaven because she was not baptized before her death and that my mother bore the guilt of this.

Because according to Romans 3:10-12, "As it is written, there is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God; all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one."
What did Jesus mean when He said, "It is finished?" Why was the veil at the Holy of holies torn in two in the Temple?
Finally, why is it in catholicism that the priests think they're supposed to sacrifice and crucify Jesus over and over and over again? Don't they believe that Jesus rose from the grave and lives forever? Do you?
All Catholics are free to pray direct to God. Of course you are. You are encouraged to go to confession once a year only but even that is not absolute except if you have committed a mortal sin (which the Bible tells us can lead to death in 1 John 5:17) which would be something like adultery, murder etc.
An unbaptized baby would not go to Purgatory since they have no personal sin. As far as we can say from divine revelation and reason, unbaptized babies go to Limbo, where they do not receive the vision of God as do the redeemed, but they are not punished either since they have no personal sin. Otherwise, we just don't know of God's plan for them.
Who said that your mother was guilty for your sister dying? That doesn't make any sense. The Church doesn't say that.
There is no requirement that you have to like statues. Statues are religious art, and that art is supposed to lift your heart and mind to God. Sometimes the artists fail, and sometimes there are people who do not like art, but none of that is an excuse to separate yourself from the truth.

Where in the Bible does it say anything about purgatory or limbo? Since these are not addressed in the Bible, they do not exist. They are a lie from the pit!!!
I married a Catholic 44 yrs. ago. I was raised evangelical. My husband eventually left the Catholic Church and we raised our boys with the true gospel.

My friend, a simple history lesson will tell you otherwise.
I am a former Catholic also, I am so grateful God led me away from the Catholic church. I was able to bring up my 2 children in an Evangelical church and they both had a saving faith in Jesus Christ. I grew so much in my faith & continue to grow & share my faith with others.

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
John 6:53-57
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
John 13:1-4
Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,
Acts 2:42
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 2:46-47
Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Praise the LORD He got you out of the religious mess and deception of RCC. God bless you richly and strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ Nanette. I myself was in a similar religious deception called Greek orthodoxy and now have been saved by God's grace and out of it for over 10 years.
@nanetteekin - i sure hope you kept our book, the Bible, close by. Its what EVERYBODY uses including the cults as their rule of faith and try to justify their way through it. 🤷🏽♂
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Peacce!!!
I love the truth that Jesus is the ONLY Saviour
Everyone can agree that Jesus is the ONLY Savior.
John Steila, since you say that every one can agree that Jesus is the only Savior, then why does the Roman Catholic tradition add Mary and the saints?
@@ericevearitt3317 The Church does not add anyone as Savior. Only Christ is The Savior.
Cats are on board with that
Former Catholic here. It was always about religion growing up for me, never an intimate, personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank God every single day that I am saved totally by His UNMERITED Grace! I too pray that my devout catholic family would soon give up religion for relationship before its too late!
Do you think that maybe you just didn’t have great Catholic role models? There are many Catholics that have a great relationship with Christ and read the word of God daily. I would encourage you to not view your experience of Catholic upbringing as the law of Catholic understanding and faith.
@@sherbert1110 @printsbyanne is the Black Sheep so to speak of the Family. His prayer for his family to give up religion is his way of having the world revolve around him.
Look at the lives of the Saints. For us Catholics it is the Science of the Saints. We can learn to love everything about Heaven by studying their lives. You need look no further than St. Teresa of Lisieux. From the beginning of her earthly life she was taught to love God. So many Catholics raise their children to love The Blessed Trinity, The Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph, and The Saints. We are taught from a very small age to love our Guardian Angel. Your experience is different from mine. Did you ever read stories from Treasure Chest? My parents bought the entire set for me and my siblings. My mother read the life of Saint Teresa from Treasure Chest to us well before we attended school. I still remember Whoopsy the Angel. They teach love of all things in Heaven. I bought the same set for my family.
Your decision to leave the church is yours. Maybe you will like the Catholic Church more as Popes under the second vatican counsel work to make it protestant. This pope francis is a heretic. For Catholics trying to hold to the traditions before vatican II, the path is narrow but holy. I love being Catholic. Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph. He means so much to me. He represents manly Catholic strength. Have you ever watched Song of Bernadette with Jennifer Jones. It is on this UA-cam free. If you love God and want to see a Catholic example of Love of God and the Blessed Mother, see it. Other Catholic movies are available. The older ones are better.
These anti Catholic people have a negative reaction to good works. See if you agree with them after you see an older Catholic Movie about a Saint. May you make it to Heaven, Stephen Bascio. You may be Italian. If you are, some terrific Saints are from Italy. if you are French, the same applies. I hope you make it to Heaven! Nothing on earth comes close to it.
@@sherbert1110 this answers whether you know what you are talking about / understand biblical salvation:
How do you get to Heaven?
I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion.
I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25
And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
Nay rather, The Bible versus Mike Gendron.
What an excellent man! Every converted Roman Catholic that I know has such a good grasp of the Gospel….it’s so encouraging. God is all powerful. Thank you for a great video! God be praised.
As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !! Timothy 4:1 says people will depart from the true faith ..... " So Mr Gendron unable to find a link beyond 500 years must conclude his man made churches have departed from the truth !! The Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church
Very well said Isobel! The LORD bless you and keep you. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing such as this man Aja Deacon. The Roman Catholic cult is nothing but a mother wolf 🐺 that has clawed lost sheep in the clutches of demonic deception and satanic lies.
I love what the Bible says in psalms 119:105 ~Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.~ That is sufficient for me to guide me by the the Holy Spirit into all TRUTH: JESUS CHRIST!
Amen, this guy has no clue what he’s talking about.
Catholics who became Protestant or only Catholic in name. I knew absolutely nothing about the Catholic Church orange teachings and they probably if they heard them never believe them. However since they were so bad Christians and now belong to a church that has made them it’s a good questions that’s a good thing because they are closer to God now than they ever were. As I said they were Catholic in name only and not in practice.
I was raised a Catholic and I was raised with the Bible. It was a part of my religious education. You were probably too cheap to buy a Bible and to read it. In my life as a Catholic I have read the Bible from cover to cover over 40 times how many times have you read it.

My stepdad has shared with me several stories of his time in catholic school and Catholic Church. He told me it was confusing whenever he asked questions about catholic doctrine like where does it come from, asking questions about the Bible and how they weren’t allowed to read the Bible themselves. He left the Catholic Church when he met my mom and went to her Bible teaching church and realized he was deceived by the Catholic Church. Bought himself either the NIV or NASB and read it himself. He said it felt like someone removed the veil that was over his eyes and saw Gods Truth in the Bible. It’s amazing what God can do saving people who are lost.
"realized he was deceived by the Catholic Church. "
Rather, was deceived by someone at this bible teaching Church that decapitated the bible from the faith from which it came, claiming that they knew better how to interpret it. And in leaving the Catholic Church, he left Christ on the altar, his resurrected body and blood, a means for receiving God's grace. This bible believing Church didn't actually trust Jesus:
- THIS IS MY BODY. They inserted words, THIS IS A SYMBOL ONLY OF MY BODY.
- BAPTISM NOW SAVES YOU. They inserted words, BAPTISM IS A SYMBOLIC ONLY ACT OF FAITH (it does not save)
Those are just examples.
I thank God for my parents who had me baptised Catholic, I remain totally Catholic to this day and will NEVER change that.
Good for you. Maybe its time to know the Lord Jesus Christ...its never to late. God bless
God is calling you to repent and be saved, before it's too late.
You can know if you are saved. It says it in scripture.

...as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith God, that thou make all things according to *the pattern* shewed to thee in the mount.
{Hebrews 8:5}
The *sanctuary* [tabernacle] was a pattern of types and shadows of the heavenly temple, and Jesus Christ is the substance of those types and shadows.
He is the door to the sanctuary; Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of heaven.
He is the inner court surrounded by white linen; which is symbolic of being covered Christ prefect righteousness.
He is our passover sacrificed for us on burnt alter for sacrifice.
He is the laver for washing; symbolic of the rebirth, being born again of the Spirit.
He is the table of Showbread; the two stacks of loves of bread are symbolic of the word of God (the bread of life) in two testaments / witnesses, also the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles.
He is the Lampstand; the oil being symbolic of his Spirit; the Lampstand symbolic of his light unto the world.
He is our Altar of incense; making intercession for his saints.
He is our Mercy seat covering the Ark of the covenant; Jesus is both our advocate standing for his saints with the Father and He is our judge in judment.
Jesus Christ caused the sacrifices and their oblations to cease, (Dan 9:27) by his one perfect sacrifice.
In contrast to the time of the Gentiles, wherefore the sanctuary of God is trodden under foot for forty and two months.
How so?
This church who calls herself the mother church, claims to be *the door* to salvation.
And the white linen surrounding the inner court is the righteousness of Mary and the saints of the Roman church.
She claims that Christ sacrifice and Atonement for sin was not sufficient, for she instituted seven (works) sacraments.
She through infant baptism makes a mockery of the rebirth of the new man.
Her Catechism thinks to replace the inspired word of God.
Her prayers to dead saints and to Mary, thinks to replace Christ work of intercession at the altar of incense.
Hers is a false spirit which thinks to cover the light of truth.
This beast and her king think to change times and laws of God.
And goeth into perdition.

Thank you pastors Jon & Kyle bringing Mike Gendron into this extremely informative podcast regarding Catholicism, the Bible, and most of all the Truth. As a former Catholic of over 50+ years which included 12 years of catholic parochial school, this podcast with Mike Gendron not only reaffirmed my leaving Catholicism but also provides some excellent pointers on witnessing to my family and friends who are still catholic. I love our Redeemer Bible Church immensly and the work our pastors do to help guide us to the truth. My congratulations on the 100th episode!
But these men are not telling you the truth about the holy Faith. They teach heresies from the 16th century. Remember the warning in the NT not to receive a new 'gospel'. There is only one, and that is the ancient one, the one we see in history evangelizing the world and building a Christian civilization. Claiming that God waiting 1500 years to bring the 'true' one is just completely irrational and flies in the face of reality.
Let us keep just

No salvation outside Catholic church. Come back!
@@johnyang1420 yes NO salvation outside the Catholic Church .... the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God ..

At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
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 has put into words my experience when trying to reconcile what I was reading in the Bible with Catholic doctrine. For me it was like being gas lit; I started to question what I knew or thought to be true. I remember feeling uncomfortable with the answers I was receiving, noting they'd be a very convenient explanation for the Catholic faith but ran contrary to what the Bible said. For me, the way I found to move forward was to put in place a firm guiding principle of any belief or teaching must be supported and aligned with biblical scripture otherwise I'd have to disregarded it. In doing that It became clear in brief time I didn't want to remain in the Catholic church. It was an easy but not so easy decision to leave (Catholic's know what this means), however it was the right thing for me, I have never looked back in regret ever. When you know you know, you know?
You said: For me, the way I found to move forward was to put in place a firm guiding principle of any belief or teaching must be supported and aligned with biblical scripture otherwise I'd have to disregarded it.
Me: There was no NT biblical Scripture to follow in the early decades of the Church. ALLL they had was preaching of the apostles which is tradition. So tradition comes first and then Scripture. Like most Protestants, you have only Scripture and that is why you don't understand it. You are missing the context in which NT Scripture was written and that is the context of the teaching of the apostles.
The truth is like lemon.
Bitter to the taste,
but good for the body.
On other subjects it took me three months or more to overcome the lie i believed to be true. (kind regards of the status quo).

Fine but you need to know where to look for truth if you are going to find it. Scripture cannot be it unless you have an authentic interpretation. And there are millions of interpretations to choose from and most get it wrong.
I invite you to read my 2 comments headed by
Number # 1 = CHALLENGE = Can = any = Protestant, including Mike Gendron, give the answer to this most = basic = and fundamental
Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a Man and die on the Cross ??
(( Note = a review of the following 26 points numbered from A to Z is necessary before answer ))
Number # 2 = Who are the = Real = Christians - Catholics -or - Protestants ?
FACT of the matter is that Protestants can = never = get the correct answer to the most basic yet necessary question which I posed in Number # 1.
The question is = can you ?
Because if you cannot answer this question, then your knowledge of Jesus, Christianity, the Bible is wrong and questionable and this can = only - result in jeopardizing your salvation
When you know you know.!
In fairness I would recommend you have an expert on the Catholic teachings unfortunately which your guest is not. You need to be honest about the teaching, then feel free to disagree.
John 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."
If you’re married to someone, you do right by them…. Not because you’re married to them…. But because you LOVE ❤️ them. We are the bride of Christ… we keep the things he commands us out of the Love of God that Jesus has shed abroad in our heart.

Funny, God claimed His word, and Christ’s death on the cross was sufficient.
I’m curious, when did His followers “leave Him”?
And just because something is practiced for 2000 years absolutely does not mean it’s correct. Pagan practices have been around and practiced far longer than that. That’s a strawman argument.
My first encounter with the errors in Roman Catholicism was during a Catechism class at St. Jude Shrine, the largest Catholic parish in Lagos, Nigeria. I was there because I wanted to convert from 'Protestantism' to Catholicism. I chose Roman Catholicism because of the short duration of its service. Anyway, on the first day of the Catechism class, the Reverend Brother assigned to us asserted that we won't bother ourselves with the first eleven chapters of Genesis because according to him, these are fiction. He also took a poke at the burning bush story involving Moses describing it as childish. I was so pained by these blasphemous utterances that I wrote to the church leadership, but was ignored. Some years later, I read in an international magazine that the then Pope Benedict had endorsed a research into the origins of man. It was then it dawned on me that the Reverend Brother was speaking the mind of the highest Roman Catholic authority in Rome. I feel so sorry for everyone being held captive in this demonic system. We might think that they are doing it willingly. Their minds have been totally captured by satan and his demons to the extent that truth is now offensive to them. What believers owe Catholics is prayer - Fervent prayers for God to open their eyes to the truth.
The first part of Genesis (for adults) is not a physics chapter explaining the creation of the World but the earliest of believers saying "Why are we here?" "What is the point of our existence?" and obeying GOD !! The video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
What the brother told you is against Church teaching. Genesis is written as an historical narrative and the literal sense must be preserved. Do you want to take back what you said now?
Recent popes have been weak on refuting the claims of evolution, but they have not endorsed it, nor claimed that Genesis should not be read or believed.
Pope Piux XII, in Humani Generis (1950, I think), allowed for discussion by experts in the field restricted to the possibility of pre-existent living matter before Adam - I don't think he should have said this - but with the caveat that Adam and Eve are our first parents, that all men descend from them, that the soul is immediately created by God, etc. He condemned "polygenism," which would be to say that we all came from a group of the first humans and not Adam and Eve. The allowing for discussion by experts was because then as well as now the supposed scientific community insisted it had clear evidence of evolution. The Pope only allowed for discussion on that one point and was preserving Christian doctrine by the rest of what he said in that context.
You also say that the Faith delivered to the Church by Jesus Christ Himself is "demonic." Doesn't that mean that you are blaspheming the Holy Spirit?
"Fervent prayers for God to open their eyes to the truth."
What 'truth' is that? Is there another 'truth' other than what Jesus gave to the Church?
@@MillionthUsername What I have realised is that it takes an intervention by God Himself for deluded people to be saved. I read an account of a believer who was burnt to death on the stake by the Roman Catholic church. In the story recorded in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs, the victim cited Scripture to defend his claims that salvation is by faith in Christ alone. The Catholic inquisitors replied that the Pope is the head of the church and that his word is superior to Scripture. They went ahead and killed the innocent man. No intellectual discourse or citing of Scriptures can open the eyes of people that are under demonic influence. We need to pray for God to open their eyes.
@@pearladams4817 How come you won't respond to the questions put to you?
@@MillionthUsername I will only respond to questions that are Scriptural. Roman Catholism is founded on lies.
A a former devout Catholic, I learned and am still learning, that it is one thing to come out of the Church, but it is a very difficult struggle for the doctrines they instilled in me to be purged. It is happening a little at a time by the grace of God. When the Exodus occurred, they still had to be delivered from the Egyptian pagan culture that they had been enslaved in.
Mary, I have a question, Jesus gave to the Apostles the Authority to preach & teach the truth. Does Authority, therefore, matter to be able to preach & teach the truth, and to ensure that it continues and that the preaching and teaching is done correctly, should not that Authority be passed on by those who had/have the Authority to preach and teach the truth or can anyone preach & teach, whatever they like without that Authority??? Would anyone allow someone to teach their children if that person has no authority to teach children??? Why is this so difficult to understand.
@@peterxuereb9884 Jesus said he did nothing that his Heavenly Father didn't tell him to do. His Father did not tell him to stop keeping the commandments, and the Saturday Sabbath, and the high Holy days that point to the coming kingdom of God to this earth at the time of either the First or Second Resurrection spoken about in Revelations 20:4-5. Catholics are told they are to consider the POPE as their spiritual father, and that he has more authority than God or the instructions in the Bible. They are thereby instructed to keep Sunday as THEIR sabbath. The Catholic Church changed the ten commandments by leaving out the second commandment that said we should not have any graven images (statues) and just to make ten again, they divide the tenth commandment into two commandments. They instituted the pagan idol worship of Mary, known as Mariolatry, along with prayer to a multitude of saints. Praying to the dead is an abomination to Almighty God. It is the sin of necromancy, and is encouraged through their many pagan rituals. Almighty God, our Creator, sent His Son into the world to be our Savior. Jesus, the Messiah, is the only One who the Father has raised from the dead. He is now the GLORIFIED SON of God, sitting at the right hand of the Father. This is only a very brief surface of several other REBELLIOUS acts of disobedience to Almighty God that have been passed on to other Christian denominations through them. There are lots of factual evidence in history to back up all of this. Of course, the Bible is the foremost Word of God, but few really read or study it.
@@peterxuereb9884 What authority? If your talking about the graven image catholic church and its pdfile priests, you can keep them.

I'm a former follower of the Baptist novelty. Find a confessional and walk away from this lunacy. It has absolutely no basis in early Christianity. There's a reason that they don't want you to learn about early Church history.
I too grew up as a Roman Catholic plus all the required Sacraments. I felt empty following the Sunday Masses on Camp Lejeune. I was invited to a Wednesday evening Service in Jacksonville, NC February 1976. John 14:6 brought me to my knees at the altar invitation. I accepted Christ as my Savior that night.

In. my opinion this does harm to the faith and witness to unbelievers. I have met atheists who knew the Bible better than those who were attempting to evangelize them.
Thanks for citing the Holy Scriptures. You mentioned Matthew 7:21 would you not say that Matt 7:21 is more of a warning than responsibility? By the way that is a great passage that reveals the importance of doing the will of the Lord!
James 1:22 is another great Scripture that instructs us to be doers as well as hearers of the word. I am a bit perplexed about how it ties into my original question about the Catchphrase "Personal Relationship"! Thank you once again, my friend!
Can you discuss about the Sabbath? I feel like many view 9 out of the 10 commandments so important but exclude the 4th commandments which the only one that God sanctified and said to remember it .
Saturday...is sabbath.
Sunday is Pagan and it's worshipping the Sun God.
God bless
In the First Creation, the OT Sabbath pointed forward to a greater New Testament fulfillment: in the New Creation, we would rest in Christ on the Lord's Day, the Day of Resurrection, the 8th day.
St Ignatius of Antioch was taught by St John. A great example of He who hears YOU, hears Me (JESUS)!
“If, therefore, those who were brought up in the ancient order of things have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s Day, on which also our life has sprung up again by Him and by His death-whom some deny, by which mystery we have obtained faith, and therefore endure, that we may be found the disciples of Jesus Christ, our only Master.” To the Magnesians, (A.D. 110).

I am thanking God that this man speaks what God would want people to hear about the salvation God has already given us. I pray many will listen to this, not just hear it. Scripture has given us what we need to know about our salvation; we need to read and study it and this will free us to be in right relationship with our God.
" Scripture has given us what we need to know about our salvation"
Good reason to be Catholic, including the words of Jesus below. Through the Eucharist, we receive the Resurrected Christ, a means for receiving his grace.
_53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him._ (Jn 6)
The grace of salvation is not found in the bondage of Roman Catholicism, it is found in the the belief that Jesus died for our atonement once and for all time, we do not need a reenactment of this sacrifice every day. Believe Jesus and take Holy Communion because he already sacrificed for us to stay close to him.
@@elawwangler4569 When we receive the resurrected Christ in the Eucharist, as ALL Christians did for 1500 years, it is a means for receiving his grace. Its the relationship that he instituted, THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only, first taught by 16th c Catholic with no authority. Catholics trust Jesus and his words.. Why do you not and follow a 500 year old new gospel, a man-made tradition ??
@@TruthHasSpoken You apparently trust men on earth more than Christ's teaching; tradition doesn't save, God and his word does.

@@elawwangler4569 " Why do you not and follow a 500 year old new gospel, a man-made tradition "

I once believed much of what Gendron believes. I too was an Un informed Catholic like Mike and was easy prey for those who take scripture verses out of context. And so what happens is you say, yeah, we do call priests father, we worship statues, saints and Mary, we believe that if you’re good enough, you get to go to heaven.
Gendron admits that he won’t bother reading the early church fathers including those who had direct contact with the apostles.
I was shocked to find out just how many Evangelical/Protestant pastors were abandoning the faith, the true faith for the falsehood of Catholicism. How could so many men who had studied, believed, breathed and preached the scriptures come to such a heretical understanding that the Catholic Church was the Church founded by Christ. That was a dangerous road to go down, because once you actually are willing to listen to what they have to say and you begin studying the issue for yourself, you find out that you have a real problem.
What a shame, because what I came to realize after 20+ years was that I had been believing the traditions of men and misinterpreting much of the scriptures. Yes, I said traditions.
I had accepted particular statements of faith that were considered essential such as the Trinity and that Jesus is 100% man as well as 100% God. These creeds of faith we’re already established prior to the scriptures yet I believed that all truth has to be found in the scriptures. We denied the magisterium of the church and yet that too was in place before the canon of scripture was established by the very magisterium that I rejected. That no longer made sense to me.
Obviously there is much more than the points that I brought up above. And it should be stated that I also still have tremendous respect for many in the Evangelical world. I even have a a number of good friends who are Evangelical. I attend two Bible studies. One in the Catholic Church where some Evangelicals come on a weekly basis and another in an Evangelical church where several individuals have tried to convert me to no avail. Their often perplexed by the fact that I’m a Catholic who actually reads and knows the Bible.

Does the Church of Gendron have a proper Eucharist? No
Does the Church of Gendron have a Bishop with succession from the apostles? No
Could the Church of Gendron, only in existence for the last 30 years, be the CATHOLIC Church spoken of below? No
_“See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”_ Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110).
Ignatius below is 100% consistent with St John = THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only as taught by the Church of Gendron.
_“They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.”_ Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110).
Lot's and lots of reasons for Mike to dodge the early Church writings. Yet, he tacitly trusts in the authority of the Church he objects to to even know what books belong in his New Testament.
@@TruthHasSpoken quote----opinions after opinions----NOT ONE bible scripture.

---Google search:Was Ignatius a disciple of John?
Ignatius of Antioch - Wikipedia
Tradition identifies Ignatius, along with his friend Polycarp, as disciples of John the Apostle. Later in his life, Ignatius was chosen to serve as Bishop of Antioch; the fourth-century Church historian Eusebius writes that Ignatius succeeded Evodius.
TRADITION--NOT BIBLICAL uFACT!!
---
What is the basis for the belief that Ignatius of Antioch knew the Apostle John?
This seems to be a traditional belief. For example, The Catholic Encyclopedia entry from 1910 says
"It is also believed, and with great probability, that, with his friend Polycarp, he was among the auditors of the Apostle St. John."
AGAIN-TRADITION!!!
---Ignatius of Antioch doesn't mention any personal connection to John in his authentic letters. Irenaeus mentions that he met Polycarp, who had known John and at least one other apostle, as he refers to "apostles" in the plural being known to Polycarp (Against Heresies 3.3). Ignatius did write letters to Polycarp and to the church at Smyrna. There are two letters of Ignatius to John preserved in Latin, but these are universally recognized as forgeries dated to the middle ages. There's no reliable evidence to connect Ignatius directly with any of the apostles. So, as you say, this is likely a case of "tradition based on forgery.""

I just want to reach my Catholic family and friends who are still under this religious deception. I tried to talk to my mother about us having only one mediator and that no one else is qualified for that not even Mary but she argued against that... I just hope that she will be able to know the truth soon but I won't stop talking to her about what I am learning. I will also be sharing with my other family members and friends. Thank you Mike Gendron for teaching us the truth.
having a relative as a priest does not mean that you understand Catholicism If you were a devoted Catholic over the years you would know the bible back to front like I do ... That is why 3 Church of England Bishops have become Catholic in 2022 alone ... Millions come to Catholicism cos of the bible
As a practicing Catholic who knows the bible and Catholicism this falls apart when you listen to him explain what Catholicism is. In Catholicism ALL glory is to God He says when you pray to Mary you are putting Mary before God. That is untrue. All Catholic prayer is ultimately to God. So in the prayer to Our Lady the "Hail Mary" The second half says ""Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the end of our death, Amen " If he was ever a practicing Catholic he would know that Mary's role is to guide us to Jesus & all seven sacraments are to/ from God. At 9 minutes when asked about the 2000 year Catholic Church vs the 500 year 30 000 protestant churches mr Gendron claims there was a none Catholic church alongside the Catholic Church for 2000 years then goes on to name call the Catholic Church He of course provides no evidence for his supposed protestant church !!

The doors of the Catholic Church swing both ways. Nobody is forced to stay. It's not possible to debunk Catholicism unless you lie, like Mike Glenderon. He can only lure ill-informed souls away from Catholicism. He could never snatch a knowledgeable Catholic.
Nobody is complicating anything. Jesus commissioned the Church to teach the nations ALL that He commanded. If you take a close look at it, you will see that it is the heretics who take away from the gospel and try to pass this off as simplicity or whatever. Heretics removed books from the Bible and dropped many key Christian doctrines in favor of newly invented ones. So yes, there is less content because they chopped off whatever didn't suit their tastes as now religion had become a "personal" and subjective thing.

@MeanBeanComedy, I was raised in a false religion similar to catholicism, and the Jesus that was talked about was not the Biblical Jesus but a 'eucharist' false Jesus that in Matthew 24:5 the LORD JESUS CHRIST warned against.

Thousands of other church claims they have it

is joining a denominatoin (any church) essential for salvation? or can i be a lone follower of Jesus . reading, praying and spreading the word without any prejudice; only my personal faith and understanding. can someone enlighten me. i am from india
The answer is yes. Outside of the Church, there is no salvation.

Catholics believe you must have faith and follow the Lord until the end of your life. The state of the soul at death is what will be judged. Catholics do not believe they are saved by "works alone". The reference to "faith alone" is from Romans 3:28 - "you are justified by faith apart from works OF THE LAW. Protestants always leave out the "works of the law" out which is a reference to Jewish works of circumcision and dietary rules that were necessary for salvation. By the way, the words "faith ALONE" are only in the book of James which refutes salvation by "faith alone". We. are not saved by faith alone.
As a former Protestant, Fundamentalist, agnostic, atheist, truth seeker and now Roman Catholic, I will pray for your Soul Mike. Will you like wise pray for Catholic people, or just continue to condemn your fellow followers of our Lord Jesus Christ?

At my divorce, the church rule was that I could not receive communion because I was 'in sin'. This was a big deal! I wondered why God would do that to me. HE didn't! It was a Church rule; not Biblical...
Jesus was quite clear that what God has joined together, let NO MAN put asunder. And that was quoted in all 4 Gospels which makes it very Biblical.
Matt 19:9, Jesus says that divorce is not allowed. That’s the rule from The Bible.
The "rule" you refer to applies only if you remarry outside the church. Because the sacrament of marriage unites the couple as one, you are considered married to your first spouse, unless that marriage is invalidated by an annulment. Being divorced is not a sin; the sin happens if you remarry without an annulment. No one should receive Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin, regardless of the nature of the sin.

Go Norman Bauer, go! Take care and God bless you.
The Mass was instituted by Christ on the night before His Crucifixion. The Bible appeared about 300 years later.
@@sherbert1110Good point. The institute of The Eucharist was obviously in similitude with The Mass. Protestants like to think that early Christians believed in “Sola Scriptura”, but there is no evidence to support that claim. The first “Christian” to think so, was likely born 1,500 years after Our Lord’s lifetime.

Thank you for confirmation! I am a former cathlic - origin from poland, now living in germany- too.. After being born again through Christ the Holy Spirit taught me, that the doctrin of the catholic church is not right to the bible.

It's the systematic tradition of the Chruch that filtered scripture into the final result known as the Bible. Also, following tradition IS scriptural and biblical (of course it is, since it's the Catholic Church that compiled it): Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15)

You know that name of the Catholic means Universal and it was fist used by Christians in the first century. “The first use of the term "Catholic Church" (literally meaning "universal church") was by the church father Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 50-140) in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans (circa 110 AD). He died in Rome, with his relics located in the Basilica of San Clemente al Laterano.

At every Catholic Mass we read scripture from the Old Testament and from Psalms and from the new testament and from the gospel. This guy is obviously lying. He said that he consulted a priest witha question about Christianity. Where in the bible does it say to do that? No where! The Bible says. 1 Tim 3:15 to ask the Church if you have a question about Christianity. The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. The Church says to consult the Catechism if you have any question about how you are supposed to act in the house of the Lord.

So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Then why so many evangelicans become catholics??
There are a lot of catholics that become evangelicals. I see that often at my church too
At 23:43 he falsely claimed that the Church anathematized the 'gospel.' No, read the decrees and the canons. They anathematized the new heresies, recognizing them to be false. So it is you and those who follow you who are under the anathema of God because you won't believe the gospel that Jesus gave to His Church. You insist on creating your own new religions which spring from your own private interpretations of Scripture without any sort of reference whatsoever to the Sacred Tradition of the apostolic Church. And in taking this course, where you cast aside thousands of years of teaching from the one entity that evangelized the world for 1.5 millennia, you put yourselves outside by your own free choice.
He said that Purgatory was 'apostasy' or something like that. How does that follow? Being purged of attachment to sin and patiently suffering through God's cleansing action so that you can be free to enter Heaven without spot or wrinkle, what's wrong with that? Of what does the 'apostasy' consist? To much attention to detail regarding sin, holiness, judgment, punishment, Heaven? Does it make you mad that God punishes sin in believers? That doesn't fit into your easy-believism do-nothing 'gospel'? And what's hilarious is that your whole point is to tell everyone, and Catholics, that they can take it easy with sin since God doesn't care. God just wants to sprinkle you with glitter and dress you up like a doll and give you smooches. Sin is just "taken care of" and "covered" by the "finished work," and all you have to do for an eternity of bliss is accept this simple fact. If this were actually true, you wouldn't be trying to target Catholics since we already believe, but I notice how your easy-believism for us, according to you, turns very dark and sends us to Hell. How do you explain that? I'm suddenly an apostate and not a Christian, not because I don't believe or trust in Jesus, but because I don't buy what you're selling? Your several hundred year-old fraud that doesn't appear anywhere in the history of the Church? So God, when it comes to me and all Catholics throughout history is not so easy to please, is He? He is hell bent on throwing all supposed Christians in history into Hell because they didn't believe in the easy-peasy-don't-worry-about-sin that you peddle. Makes zero sense! If you actually believed, which I'm sure you don't deep dpwn, that God doesn't really care about sin at all, then you wouldn't have such a strong desire to destroy the faith of Catholics. You would just view them as having a different view of things.
At 26:48 he falsely claims that a priest will refuse to say a mass for a deceased Catholic "unless indulgences are purchased." Indulgences are NOT purchased, and having a mass offerred up for a soul is not an indulgence. He claimed he was 'Catholic' for half his life, and the second half is spent "ministering (lying to) Catholics, and he pretends to have knowledge he doesn't have. The stupidity of his comments is shocking.
Yes, the Church mediates the grace of God to people, that's the whole point of Jesus forming the Church and then sending them out to found churches and appoint other men to take over, etc. Of course you just ignore all that because you think New Testaments fell from the sky or something, that people could simply read Ephesians 2 and not darken the doorway of a church from there on out. This is also stupid. We see the Apostles meeting in council to make decisions for the whole Church. We see a new Apostle appointed to take over the office of Judas. We see Paul going up to run his gospel by the Church to see if it was okay. It never changed from this. Yes, you had to get baptized by the Church. You can't baptize yourself. You can't instruct yourself. The Faith was passed on by word of mouth, by being incorporated into the body. The Church was always hierarchical and sacramental.
Then he revisits the offering of mass for the dead and says it properly. You give the Church an offering. He doesn't take offerings? Bogus nonsense. "The worker is worth his wage." Jesus took offerings. It says that there was a common purse and that Judas used to help himself to it. Is this nut going to accuse Jesus of "selling" the gospel? Such hypocrisy coming from this guy. I missed the "bondage" part. You're in "bondage" if you want a priest (or anyone else!) to do a specific thing for you which is not just a personal favor but involves their vocation in life and takes up their time and costs money, but you won't offer them a stipend or give an offering? Based on what, dingbat? Stinginess is a virtue now? For a wedding, you are taking up time and space in the church, running up the electric, causing people at the church to have to prepare for you and clean up after you leave. You are taking the priest's time away from other things. So he gets a stipend and the church gets a fee for the facility. Is that not standard everywhere? Do you get to use church buildings and staff for free? If so, isn't that unjust and doesn't amount to slavery - which is the meaning of 'bondage'? I would love to check how you and money get along. I'm very curious now.

Watch his debate with Tim Staples....he can't even refute the Bible verses that Tim quotes , where as Tim explains how he is misreading certain bible verses by giving him context.

@@wesleysimelane3423 this is because we as people if left to our own interpretations of anything can greatly misunderstand.

Mike Gendron’s not the church.
The Bereans who are Hellenistic Jews that don’t have the doctrine of Sola Scriptura “received the word with eagerness” from Paul, meaning they were taught of the truth or catechized before they became christians.
Correctly catechised ? Have you read and studied the ROMAN catholic catechism and the other Roman catholic literature? It's blasphemy and I urge you to read it because it's not of GOD but of man and their own unbiblical ideas .

I was lost after just 1 minute. I am sorry kinda look like half empty cup. Even if what you say that catolicism is wrong is true, but why continue to disprove them and convert them the work is the same to introduce Christ to the world, the harvest is abundant, many non-christians in the world last time I check. Mike you have been Catholic, why not give thanks that you started Catholic, and not non Christians. May God bless all of you. Remember what is important LOVE. God is LOVE.
No Christian religion is perfect, but the essense is there, to make known the ways of the Lord. Last time I check Catholics got many martyrs, many of them died for the faith, God is good many of us did not have to go through the sacrifices they have made in order to keep the faith alive. They were chosen by God and they responded. I urge all of you to stop, this is not what God commanded, He said to Love, not disprove who is right or wrong. If you still have the urge to do it, try going to the most unconfortable areas in the world, go places that is non-Christians and do your work there. 😊
Thank you so much for this. I’m really tired of people thinking it’s the same religion. I know Christianity is not a religion though. Of course it’s a personal relationship with our Lord
Where can I find a personal relationship with Jesus? Are you a Bible-only Christian? I am not Roman Catholic nor Am I a Post Reformation Western Christian. You guys as well as the Catholics say that you are practicing the true Christian faith. Yet, you look nor act like the Christians in the New Testament. If you were to come to my Church, you will hear the Bible read in the original language, no it is not dead in our Church. I have been a Christian for the majority of my life. I worship just as the Christians worshipped in 33 AD, I read the Bible and worship in Κoinè Δiálektos/Koine Greek. I believe with all my heart that the Bible as originally inspired I.e., Koine Greek is infallible! In saying this I do have issues with Roman Catholicism as well as Post-Reformation Western Christianity’s understanding of the Bible! As a lifelong student of Early Christian history, I am perplexed about the reason modern Christianity is so different from First Century Christianity. As a speaker of Koine/ Modern Greek, I can attest to the fact that the saying lost in translation is a real phenomenon! Roman Catholicism and Western Christianity have done a disservice to the Faith Christ gave to his Apostles to preach unto the world. I am saddened when I hear people state the “Bible says the following” when in reality the Bible is being used to support a theological position. I often hear staunch supporters of the Bible say they believe every word in the Bible yet their doctrines are nowhere to be found in the Bible. For the Roman Catholics purgatory and for the Post Reformation believers “a personal relationship with Jesus". For example, traditions are mentioned in the Bible, but in all honesty, the translation is lacking when compared to the God-inspired Greek word for tradition “Παραδόσεις”. Speaking of Παραδόσεις that very word in Greek tells us that Sola Scripture/Bible Only was a foreign concept to Early Christians. The Apostle Paul revealed that there is more than just the Bible in Christianity, ῾Διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν῾, 2 Thes 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the TRADITIONS which ye have been taught, whether by WORD “, or our EPISTLE. Please show me where I can find in the Bible that the Bible only is the way to Go. As Eastern Christians, we have preserved the Bible and its original language for 2,000 years as well as the God-inspired Traditions that The Apostles gave us. Translation issue is why the Roman Catholics have a false doctrine called Purgatory as well as Protestants ignore the instructions of Jesus about the importance of Communion. I pray my insight would stir up the viewers of this video to seek out false doctrines that were established in Roman Catholicism as well as Post Reformation Groups. Here is a fact, it is possible for every miracle and teaching of Jesus to be placed in one book, thus we have supplements [ Traditions originally called Παραδόσεις ], thankfully Eastern Christians have kept the totality of the faith, not bits and pieces! John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which, if they should be written to everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
praise GOD people are starting to see and ask questions and thats what we want to save people, to know they have the lord in there heart,God gave us this free gift, he gave his son who died for us so we can repent and take him as our savior , and when you know God is always there he will never leave you ,he says call on him pray to him in the secret place where its quiet ,dont boast in public or do repetitious prayers for all to see for they have there reward, god wants you to pray to him glorify him serve him,he wants to know you.

This is so needed as it seems many protestants are returning to Roman Catholicism.
They come to realize that some (not all) of their doctrines are 100% man-made. This has occurred due to the 16th c invention of Sola Scriptura, which decapitated scripture from the Church and faith from which it came. Its fruit was, is, and shall ever be: doctrinal chaos, confusion, and division.

@@tonyornelas9374 what does your God given senses tell you the answer to this is sir…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
If salvation was by faith alone why Christ said in Mt 25:31-46 that man without good works will be thrown to hell? Clearly Paul is being misunderstood by private interpreters of scripture.
SMH
@MavourneenKathleen-l5j *Contrary to your claims. Jesus and APostles actually took doctrines from Scriptures only. 180 plus verses say so. Even when they preached, their points did not go beyond the principles of Scriptures. Clearly not a 500 years old doctrine.*
*So many early writers mentioned the Exact Term "Scripture Alone". Clearly not a 500 years old doctrine.*
you said
This belief of Sola Scriptura is 500 years old, personal interpretation.
Why did Christ decide not to write down his commandments and not ordering any of his apostles to do so? Instead he chose to build a Church on Peter and send him and his apostles the Holy Spirit to tell them what they shall do. There's a reason why Christ didn't resort to scripture and today we see it. Every man who reads the scripture thinks he can understand it and creates his own doctrine. How many evangelical churches are out there? More than 450,000? That's why God knew that a Church will preserve the teachings of Christ through the Holy Spirit more faithfully than through scripture. [Acts 1:2]
And what are the books of the new testament? God's breathed.
I'm guessing you know more than the people who knew Jesus and learned from him first hand?
If what you say is true, then that still makes the Catholic Church apostate.
If what you say is true, then how do you know anything about Christ to be true? Didn't you learn about Christ from the Bible? Didn't you just quote from the Bible?
Do you believe Mary was sinless and a virgin at the time of the resurrection? She was a sinner and had sons and daughters.
Is the Roman apocrypha canon? No
Is the Lord's prayer trust worthy? Yes
All these things you learn in the Bible.
Man left to his own devices creates vices. Man left needed the writing of the new testament and Jesus cited the old testament many times especially the book of Isaiah.
I hope you aren't gnostic. Because deconstructing Christ like you have is a quick way to fall away from trusting in him as the redeemer.
If you aren't trusting the Bible to be true, then you are not trusting Christ to be true-he is the living word of God afterall.
But if you don't trust fully I'm Christ, then you aren't saved. And once again Christ left us with his holy spirit. Christ left us with his teachings. Nowhere else can you truly learn about Christ, if not first from the Bible.

If they are godly men appointed by God and they taught orally, wouldn't what they wrote down still be true?
And if you don't trust their writings, then what is your church based on?
The old testament is written down too.
It seems like you are putting the church above the first hand teachings of Christ.
And the word of God has been written down since the first time it was spoken, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
It's going to be hard to leave Catholicism behind but if you keep seeking the truth, you'll find it.

Hello fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I spent over 50 years being a member of one side that’s being debated in the comments here. I’m choosing not to reveal which side I came from and which I believe in now. I lost the closeness of a dear family member as a result of my switching so I know all too well what debate and division can do. This leads me to say that while it’s 100% fine to discuss various interpretations of the Bible and try to flush out what it is we feel in our hearts that God wants, I think it’s extremely dangerous to condemn the other side and say those folks are all headed to hell. Did it ever occur to us that heaven just might be filled with saved Catholics AND Born Again believers? In the end, isn’t it ONLY God who has the ability to see into the “hearts and minds” of ALL of His children? Perhaps we should think about how some of the nastiness, divisiveness and condemnation in some of this discussion might be helping the enemy’s cause and grieving the Holy Spirit. Just a thought.
Mike dodges the whole topic of how early Christians understood scripture. This includes St Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of St John, the SAME St John taught by Jesus who witnessed his crucifixion and saw him resurrected.. A great example of Luke 10 :
He (St Ignatius)
Who hears you (St John)
Hears me (Jesus)
Does the Church of Gendron have a proper Eucharist? No
Does the Church of Gendron have a Bishop with succession from the apostles? No
Could the Church of Gendron, only in existence for the last 30 years, be the CATHOLIC Church spoken of below? No
“See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110).
Ignatius below is 100% consistent with St John = THIS IS MY BODY. Nothing symbolic only as taught by the Church of Gendron.
“They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to Smyrnaeans, 7,1 (c. A.D. 110).
Lot's and lots of reasons for Mike to dodge the early Church writings. Yet, he tacitly trusts in the authority of the Church he objects to to even know what books belong in his New Testament.
"I think it’s extremely dangerous to condemn the other side and say those folks are all headed to hell."
The Church of Mike believes in Eternal Security. There is nothing Mike can do to lose his inheritance, so he has no fear to say what he wishes. From his website: _a permanent right standing before God and the promise of spending eternity in heaven._
He doesn't see it dangerous at all.
@@TruthHasSpoken Spoken like a true Catholic who will place his religion before the words of God.
@@stever4181 Catholic's TRUST Jesus .. he promised to lead HIS Church, the Pillar and Bulwark of Truth, to ALL TRUTH. Not _endless_ doctrinal chaos and confusion.
ETERNAL SECURITY - So when the Church of Gendron decapitates scripture from the faith from which it came, and speaks of the man-made invention of eternal security, which contradicts scripture itself, we can reject it.
THE LORD"S SUPPER - And when the Church of Gendron states that the Lord's Supper is symbolic ONLY, contradicting Jesus : THIS IS MY BODY, and the Christian faith for over 1500 years, we can reject it.
Obeying the fallible and un-authoritative Church of Mike instead of scripture is doing just that : _placing his religion before the words of God_
It makes Jesus out to be undependable and a liar. He's not the divine author of doctrinal chaos and confusion.
It all depends if they were born again believers and followers of Jesus Christ and saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, Debra (EPHESIANS 2:8-9). NO WORKS AT ALL, BUT THE FINISHED OF CHRIST ACCORDING TO JOHN 19:30.
@@ericevearitt3317 "born again believers"
One is Born Again scripturally .... AND for the first 1500+ years of Christianity - ALL over the world, wherever you met a Christian, through Baptism. My baptism write up below:
The Old Testament Prefigures a greater New Testament reality: The Waters of Baptism are Salvific.
- Noah and his family were saved by the water and cleansed humanity of sin, the Ark representing the Church.
- The Israelites were saved by water from Pharaoh’s army crossing the sea
- The Israelites were again saved by water when Moses struck the Rock
God foretells his Spirit would someday reside not in Jerusalem’s temple built by man but within mankind himself:
_25 I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances (Ez 36)._
St John the Baptist says that Jesus would come baptizing with the Holy Spirit:
_“I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire_ (Mat 3:11).
_I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit’_ (Jn 1:33).
St Paul speaks to the New Testament fulfillment, through Baptism, our body being the temple of God’s Spirit.
_Do you not know that your body is the temple of the holy spirit within you, which you have from God (1 Cor 6:19)?_
We receive the Holy Spirit through baptism, the external washing by water signifying (a sign, a symbol, but not a sign or symbol only) of an interior spiritual change within us.
Born Anew (Again) - through baptism, we are “born again” scripturally
_3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicode′mus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 3,5)._
Regenerated and Justified - All Sacraments are means of receiving his Grace (we are saved by Grace)
_when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life (Titus 3: 4-7)._
Sanctified - the exterior sign of water signifies the interior spiritual change through baptism.
_11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God (1 Cor 6: 11)._
Baptism Restores Sanctifying Grace and Cleanses Us of ALL Personal Sins
_And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name (Acts 22: 16).”_
Baptism Saves Us - by having the Spirit of God in us; God can’t be any more explicit
- _“Truly, truly, unless one is born of water and the Spirit [baptism], he cannot enter the kingdom of God (Jn 3: 5).”_
- _Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Pet 3: 21)._
- _He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned_ (Mk 16: 16; believing / having faith means to follow all that Christ commanded. He commanded that Christians be baptized as a means of receiving his grace)
Note, I can cite Christian men for this whole time period who taught exactly what scripture teaches. The Church of Mike can not. Examples below.
“Moreover, the things proceeding from the waters were blessed by God, that this also might be a sign of men’s being destined to receive repentance and remission of sins, through the water and laver of regeneration,-as many as come to the truth, and are born again, and receive blessing from God.” Theopilus of Antioch, To Autolycus, 2:16 (A.D. 181).
Worth repeating: How is does one receive repentance and remission of sins .... through the water and spirit (the laver or regeneration). BAPTISM.
Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know the bible better than St Cyprian? NO WAY!
“[W]hen they come to us and to the Church which is one, ought to be baptized, for the reason that it is a small matter to ‘lay hands on them that they may receive the Holy Ghost,’ unless they receive also the baptism of the Church. For then finally can they be fully sanctified, and be the sons of God, if they be born of each sacrament; since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’…[O]nly baptism of the holy Church, by divine regeneration, for the kingdom of God, may be born of both sacraments, because it is written, ‘Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.'” Cyprian, To Stephen, 71:72 (A.D. 253).
Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know scripture better than St Hilary? NO WAY!
“We are circumcised not with a fleshly circumcision but with the circumcision of Christ, that is, we are born again into a new man; for, being buried with Him in His baptism, we must die to the old man, because the regeneration of baptism has the force of resurrection.” Hilary of Poitiers, Trinity, 9:9 (A.D. 359).
Does the fallible Church of Mike Gendron know how to interpret scripture better than St Basil? NO WAY
“This then is what it is to be born again of water and of the Spirit, the being made dead being effected in the water, while our life is wrought in us through the Spirit. In three immersions, then, and with three invocations, the great mystery of baptism is performed, to the end that the type of death may be fully figured, and that by the tradition of the divine knowledge the baptized may have their souls enlightened. It follows that if there is any grace in the water, it is not of the nature of the water, but of the presence of the Spirit.” Basil, On the Spirit, 15:35 (A.D. 375).
Where are all those early Christians preaching the fallible Church of Gendron?
Thanks Mike. May your inspirational and important work prosper in Jesus's mighty name. I love your style. So clear and logical. With my family still Catholic and the odd friend, I will be listening to all your evangelical tips. We know how heavy the cultural, traditional and spiritual indoctrination can be. May the Holy Spirit give me the strength, wisdom and boldness and also deliver from any fear of rejection so that I might be used to evangelise to Catholics and to glorify God
Inspirational propaganda that is . Your Family is just fine being part of the Catholic Church , just ask your Mother.
There is no glory to God from Mike's testimony. Just another false teacher trying to lead people away from Christ. But being actively anti-Catholic does bring fame and fortune...in this world. But rejection of Christ does not end well in the next.

*Everyone can see Roman religion is a man made religion. Only RCs could not. 95% of RC doctrines and 95% of RC clergies did not come from God's Word. Why would a true religion have such statistics? Lucy has b - ded the eyes of RCs; so they could not C.*
1. Catholics say Mary was forever virgin. Yet Bible says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was not perpetually virgin. Mk 6:3, Mat 13:55, Mat 27:56, Mar 6:3, Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47.
2. Catholics say clergies must be celibate. Yet BIBLE says Peter (supposed R Church first leader) had mother in law. Bible says celibacy is not a qualification for clergies. Mat 8:14-15, Mar 1:30-31, Luk 4:38-39.
3. Catholics say Mary was sinless. But Bible says Mary offered a sinner's offering. She was a sinner. Bible says Mary needed a Saviour. Lk 2:23-24, Lev 12:6-8, Rom 3:10.
4. Catholics say confess to R priests in a box. BIBLE says nothing about confessing to priests in a box. Bible says confess to God only. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6, Romans 10:9-10.
5. Catholics say drink of the physical blood of Jesus. Yet OT and NT both say do not drink blood. Acts 15, Lev 7:26.
6. Catholics say pray to passed on Mary and "saints". Yet Bible says do not contact the dead. NT Church did not record a single case of NT believers asking passed on saints to pray for them. Deut 18:11, Isaiah 8:19.
7. Catholics make and bow down to statues. Bible says do not bow down to graven images (statues). Deut 4, Exo 20:4-5.
8. Catholics sprinkles “holy water”. But NT Church of the Bible mentioned nothing about “holy water”. There was no record of any Apostles sprinkling “holy water” on believers. Catholics claimed “holy water” came from OT. Yet Num 5:17 says “holy water” was water used to test adulterous women in OT temple. Hardly the same. Those were for Old Covenant Jews. Not New Testament Christians.
9. Catholics say Peter was pope - bishop of all bishops. Yet Bible says Peter was just a leader of the Jerusalem Church. Bible says nothing of the office of bishop of bishops. Gal 2:9, Mat 16:18.
10. Catholics say there is a seat of Peter. Yet BIBLE says nothing about it. Jesus said “not to lord over others”.
11. Catholics has clergy priesthood. Bible says clergy priesthood was done away with in New Testament. There is no clergy priesthood in NT. Heb 7:27, 9:12, 10:10.
12. Catholics preaches Works Salvation (faith + good works + partake R sacraments + submit to R pontiff + be in R Church + devote to Mary = to be saved). Yet Bible says “believe in Jesus to be saved”. Bible says Works Salvation is cursed. Gal 1:8-9. Acts 16:30-31, John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10.
13. Catholics says they must do Penance to atone for their sins. Yet Bible says repent, confess and sins will be forgiven. Catholic Bible changes the word “repentance” in NT into “penance”. Original Greek NT does not use or mean the word penance. Penance = work to atone for sins. Repentance = change of heart. 1 John 1:9, Mat 6.
14. Catholics say Mary went straight to heaven without dying. Yet Bible says nothing about it.
15. Catholics say Islam and Christianity have the same God. Yet Islam doesn't believe in death and resurrection of Jesus and Trinity.
I believe God will save people who have been deceived but honestly and humbly try to follow Him. God knows our hearts - we don’t see our fellow Christians as He does. However, when someone sees the truth but they turn away because they’re too proud to admit they may be mistaken, that is a very dangerous place to be! I try to remember this when discussing with Christians who believe differently from me. Condemn the error, not the believer God loves. Don’t compromise the truth, but be sure you speak in the Spirit of love and humility, rather than the spirit of arrogance and hate. When Jesus’ disciples did the latter, He said, “You do not know what spirit you are of!”
Wrong…the Bible is very clear on this. He that believes on the Son has life, he that does not believe does not have life but the wrath of God abides on him. This is totally accurate because the number one problem we have at birth is REAL SPIRITUAL DEATH. If we are going to be with God we must be born again. This is what Jesus was telling the religious leader. That which is born of flesh is flesh but that is born of spirit is spirit. You must be born again. Period. You must worship God in spirit and in truth. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
@ I don’t think you understand my point, and I think we agree. Let me use a specific example: The majority of Christians believe God will roast and torture people in hell for eternity for only 80 years of sinful living. This is not just or fair, and the Bible consistently and repeatedly states that the wicked will be “cut off”, destroyed, burned up, gone, no longer exist. So that horrible belief about our God of love, mercy and justice is a lie. As you said, the Biblical requirement for salvation is faith in Jesus. So those who love Jesus and have been deceived on things like this can still be saved, and we’ll all have our misconceptions corrected when Jesus returns.
I stand by what I said, because the Bible is clear that we are to judge right from wrong, and leave the judging of souls to God.
You must understand one simple fact. Jesus Christ cannot deny himself. When a Grace gift is given by the very Lord that suffered for our salvation how can he pardon anyone that has rejected it. Consider Jacob and Esau . Jacob I Love, Esau I hate. On the surface it would appear this is a contradiction of Gods love. This is actually an anthropopathism. A simple “language of accommodation that assigns human emotions and attitudes to God in order to reveal his infinite character and policies to finite man”. Both men were born spiritually dead just as all of us were. Not only that, both were Jews by race. The Bible states…all Israel is not Israel. One believed in the coming of the Lord ( Jacob ) born again while the other rejected it. Esau remained spiritually dead even though through emotional revolt and weeping did not attain salvation. If you are going to worship God you must do it in Spirt and in truth. You must have a human spirit number one, and you need to grow in grace by bible doctrine resident in your soul. The antithesis to this is found when Jesus is confronted by the RELIGIOUS Jews. They are claiming Jesus is performing miracles by satan. Jesus refutes them and states they are in danger of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The unpardonable sin. Actually the only sin one goes to hell for. It is in fact the rejection of Jesus Christ. God the Holy Spirit substitutes his Spirit for our lack of human Spirit to make perspicuous to our souls who and what Jesus Christ is. Rejection of this knowledge is tantamount to calling the Holy Spirit a liar. Thus He leaves and this person remains spiritually dead. Had he accepted this knowledge and believed, the Holy Spirit would have made a human spirit for him and he would have been born again.

Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ...

May I recommend that Mike Gendron and his followers read this book - 'Where We Got the Bible. Our Debt to The Catholic Church' by Henry G. Graham who was brought up in the Calvinistic Scottish Kirk and became a minister in that church. In the book there is also an account of his conversion 'From the Kirk To the Catholic Church'.
Maybe you could also answer the following questions:
1 Where did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book!
2. Where did Jesus tell his Apostles to write anything down?
3.Where in the New Testament do the Apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book?
4. Where in the Bible is God's word restricted only to what is written down?
5. Protestants claim that Jesus categorically condemned all oral traditions (Matt 15:3,6 Mark 7:8-13). If so, why does He bind his listeners to oral traditions by telling them to obey the scribes and Pharisees when they "sit on Moses' seat" (Matt. 23:2)?
6. Protestants claim that St. Paul categorically condemned all oral tradition (Col 2:8). If so why does he tell the Thessalonians to "stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter "(2Thess 2:5) and praises the Corinthians because they "hold firmly to the traditions" (1 Cor. 11:2)?
7. Who in the Church had the authority to determine which books belonged in the New Testament canon and to make this decision binding on all Christians? If nobody has this authority can I remove or add books to the canon on my own authority?
Where does it say that your man-made traditions are from God?
@@stever4181 Would you please specify which man made traditions you are referring to?
You haven't answered the questions I posed because you are unable to do so. Jesus founded a Church - "the foundation and pillar of truth". Nowhere does he or the Apostles leave us with a book. The canon of Scripture was not finalised till the Council of Carthage in 397 - a council of bishops ratified by the pope.

History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century, just 75 years AFTER the council of Nicaea which began the Trinitarian docrtine, and then with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved these scriptures by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did?

...NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.... you can read it for yourself without any bias. My friend, on judgement day is too late. Repent and believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST now, and you will be saved. You can read the words of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for yourself regarding salvation: John 3, John 6:29,40,47; Acts 16:30-31; Romans 10:9-13 and Ephesians 2:8-9. 😊
@@ericevearitt3317 what are you disagree with? Can you be more specific please.
srich, I disagree with the gentleman who said that 'No one is saved until they die and are saved judged.' Why I disagree is because it contradicts Hebrews 9:27 and 2 Corinthians 6:2.
You got it wrong just google who founded the Catholic Church hello
Amen. Thank you! I am an ex Roman Catholic. Thank God.
You were Baptized in the Catholic Church... no taking that back . No such thing a reBaptized. Once a Catholic always a Catholic. Nice try
@@jgood3047 water baptism was for Israel anyway. Not for members of the Church, the body of Christ. Good she got out.

I’m a former Roman Catholic too 🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️

5,000. Marian apparitions, Eucharistic Miracles, Stigmatists , Incorruptible Bodies of Roman Catholic Church…. Why ?
Yep. Where are all the miracles in The Baptist Church?..
Satanic deceptions every one.

When was the mass invented?
Last Supper, about 30 ad. Jesus is the inventor.
Thursday evening.
The day before Jesus was crucified.
At the same time, the Sacrament of Holy Orders was instituted, and Our Lord ordained His Apostles, giving them the authority of Persona Christi.
Does Mike know that Martin Luther rejected the book of revelations? And also some of Hebrews?
So? Do you know the RCC has lied about Mary?
How have Catholics lied about Mary? Catholics do not worship her or think she is a savior. Mary's only role was to point to her son Jesus. Jesus first miracle was at the request of his mother (changing water into wine). As a former Presbyterian/Baptist/Church of God of Prophecy - I heard a lot of things about the Catholic Church that turned out not to be true. Many protestants get confused about the terminology that Catholics use to describe things. @@stever4181
It is basically a deviant form of Christianity. What a huge mission field this is! Thank you for this podcast.
Well the video is just the failed claims doing another round. Full of self congratulation. Gendron goes for the weak Catholics who do not know their faith .... Catholics already glorify the Lord in the 7 sacraments directly to God .. Gendron and his hate preachers deceive by lies about what Catholics believe and do THE CATHOLIC MASS has 2 main parts 1) The WORD which is three scripture readings and a Homily explanation of the Word and 2) The Eucharist which is what Christ told us to do 3 times in John 6 and in 13 other scripture !!.. At 4 minutes 20 he claimed he had never opened the bible when a Catholic -- well 97% of the Catholic Mass which he should have attended weekly at least is directly from the bible - reading and prayers ... In the three year cycle Catholics get through the bible Genesis to Revelation !! Mr Gendron is just trying to build up his own empire in opposition to Christ - he has had his reward in $$$
@@1234poppycat they go through the Bible but none have a clue about it
If they did they would not be Catholic.
How do you get to Heaven?
That answers everything!
@@_ready__ you get to heaven by following the Word of God in HIS Catholic Church ... 14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth .................
Mark 14:22-24
While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
Luke 13:26

Luke 22:19-20
And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.
John 6:35
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.
John 6:51

I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
John 13:1-4
Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,
Acts 2:42
They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 2:46-47
Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:21-22
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we?
1 Corinthians 11:20-34
Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
I thank God for the free and gracious GIFT of my Catholic faith ! I did not earn it and I do not deserve it ! Solely on the basis of God ' s mercy and not any personal merit on my part . Like the publican in the Gospels , I beat my breast with sorrow for my failures and unfailingly receive a prodigal son ' s welcome home through the blood of Christ ! Jesus is Lord !
I thank God for my *CHRISTIAN* Faith where religion plays no part in my salvation only Jesus Christ! Now show me where Jesus talks about Roman Catholicism.
@@stever4181 I am a Catholic .... NOT a Roman Catholic ! " Roman Catholicism " is a Protestant invention . Where does Jesus speak about Disneyland ?
@@stever4181 What is the difference between the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian Catholic Church ? I was not discussing private correspondences between the Holy See and the heads of the Eastern Churches . There is a difference between heresy and schism . There are different liturgical rites that exist inside and outside the Catholic Church . Protestant use of words like Romish , Papist and Roman Catholic are historically conditioned and reflect the malice and impenitence that is still characteristic of anti Catholics to this day . The Orthodox Churches define the word Catholic primarily to refer to the fullness of Divine Revelation rather than the universal nature of the Church . Wherever there are Orthodox Christians there are Catholics but there are many places where there are Catholics where there are no Orthodox as they call themselves . I am not an Italian citizen and I do not live in Rome .
@@Arc975 You are also not a catholic but a Catholic. lower case (c) refers to universal Upper case (C) refers to the religion. Your (C)atholic faith is established in Rome making it Roman Catholic. It is not universal according to the description of 'church' in the New Testament.
@@stever4181:
The Catholic Church was established in Jerusalem, not Rome.
Roman Catholics are those Catholics living in that beautiful city in Italy.
