I came from a Jewish background and was really ignorant of the differences between Catholic and Protestant. I was evangelized by Protestants but quickly realized something was wrong. The Protestants I knew were very kind, loving people. They were mostly Biola students and teachers, and were educated in the faith - not the Jack Chick kind of anti-Catholics. They taught me much about the bible, and I even memorized the book titles in order from the old an new testaments. However, as I read the Bible, certain passages started catching my attention that seemed to directly contradict the tenets that I'd been taught. Now, I'd been taught about all the Catholic 'additions' that 'weren't biblical,' because they weren't in the Bible, but this was different. This was biblical teachings that directly contradicted Protestant theology. I could go down the list, but it would require a much longer post. Suffice to say, I researched the Catholic faith and found it to be a deeper, more spiritually rich, more faithful incarnation of the gospels than the Protestant, fundamentalist, evangelical type of Christianity, and was baptized into the church in the 1980's. I've always found the Protestant arguments lacking in logic, and seemed more designed to justify schism from the Catholic Church than an actual ground-up theology consistent with history and scripture.
Amen! 🙏🙏

Thank you for sharing. Have you ever shared your story before? Sounds like a good story. :-)
Catholic church is deep rooted in traditional jews just like the first Christians were jews.
Check Dr Pitre Brant videos, he always explains the new testament based on old testament

@Rabbi - greetings sir! Catholic here. 👋 I think it is more proper to say the Catholic Church is the only church based “fully” on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. There are many churches based on Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. 👍🏻
Peace!!!
Everything in Catholicism is based in scripture and sacred tradition. Every...thing... whoever says otherwise is misinformed.
My beautiful Catholic Church has been serving humanity for centuries. I have heard the evil protestant teachings for some time now but I always know that my Catholic faith is the most reliable. We need to fight these evil protestant teachings.
Your Catholic priests and Christian Brothers have been abusing children for centuries and covering for the abusers. That's the evil you should be fighting.

Repeating your faulty discernment borne from ignorance and prejudice will not be producing truth but evil gossip created by evil minds like yours. Stop propagating lies; one day you will have to face judgement for bearing false witness.
Protestants aren't evil. They just have another view.
@@nosuchthing8
My friend,
Protestants, in general, can't be classified as evil. However, there are some who are clearly bearing false witness against the Catholic Church, which is an evil-inspired act.
Repeating, without verification, the typical anti-Catholic venom reveals the irrational animosity ingrained in some self-defined "evangelical Protestants".
I can certainly understand the reaction of some of my Catholic brethren who respond firmly when someone attacks our Holy Mother Church.
May God bless your discernment.
Nice.. Good video Sr. Mercier.. Karlo is a 👌🏼 Apologetic.. I would LOVE to see him on some debates with protestants. He has a good educated way on explaining things. Good vocabulary usage.. 👍🏼🕊️👊🏼
Awesome Session Brothers 👏👏👏God Bless Both of You.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The explanation he finished at 10:45 was absolutely profound, and impeccably done. Wow
The breathing on the apostles is probably the most overlooked bc when man was created he was breathed into he was a new creation….just like when Jesus breathed on the apostles and gave them the power to forgive sins…in his name
I will have to add this book to my list of MUST HAVES... I do accasionally have conversations with protestants and sometimes I do run into problems with explaining Catholic perspectives ... especially on Salvation, Mariology, Tradition, Communion, etc. Excellent upload.

@@maranatha5064 The enemies of the catholic Church, ignorant of the early Christian Church history and the interpretation of biblical passages, will twist Biblical passages in order to present their own false agenda. Throughout the Church history
When John wrote the Book of Revelation, he was referring to the imperial city as the new Babylon. His reference was to the enemies of the Catholic Church, such being the Romans.
Therefore, you should know that when you are reading the Book of Revelation, Chapter 18, versus 4 to 8, those verses have nothing to do with today's Catholic Church. It is a reference to the Roman Empire of the first century.
@@patriot8554 well done people must be clarified other wise people are scandalized
@@maranatha5064 This refers to Pagan Rome. Rev 1 says "The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must SOON take place". The first 300-400 years after Christ's death was a terrible time for Christians. Nearly all the Popes during this time (over 30) were martyred by Roman Emperors. Unfortunately, during the Reformation, nefarious elements made this out to be the Catholic Church in order to further their agenda when for 1,500 years Christians knew this was about Babylon, Pagan Rome. It's not your fault as I'm aware of the inaccurate brainwashing which is going on and people of good faith are being led astray. God Bless.

Great show!
I got his book and read it already. it is perfect for the evangelization efforts we do with St. Paul Street Evangelization.
I was also taught that John the Baptists ministry was to the Jews and while he taught that water baptism saves that Someone greater than himself would be coming and baptizing by the Holy Spirit…I was delving into this important topic with a former Mormon Bishop trying to convey the very argument of being born by water (the womb) and by water but water in itself doesn’t save. It was a tricky one because it’s so foundational for their own doctrine of baptizing by proxy and I did get stumped because in a sense he was correct in his interpretation of Baptism by water saves.
Last night I debated with my father whether or not baptism is necessary and he was adamant that it’s not even after showing him passages like John 3:5 and 1 Peter 3:21-22. I hope he will come to see the truth someday
Definitely pray for him as only God can open people's eyes sometimes.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial He appeals to 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 and says that since baptism isn’t mentioned it must not be necessary and salvific. What do I even say?

Just ordered the book! I’ve been looking for something like this. I end up doing the “verses vs verses” with my former Protestant brethren, but I need a more logical, measured response.
@@bcalvert321 where does the Bible say:
- “the Bible is the Word of God”?
- “trinity”
- “hypostatic union”
- “everything has to be in the Bible”?
- “faith alone”? Oh yes, James 2:24 “NOT by faith alone”.
- “the Bible alone has sole authority” You cannot find it.
Which of the thousands of competing, bickering brands of Christianity has the full Gospel truth?
Our Lord Jesus Christ established only one true Catholic Church upon St Peter and the Apostles. All other breakaway groups are schismatic sects, contrary to John 17:21-23.
Fantastic. You will enjoy the book.
@@bcalvert321 - Did Jesus give us a Church or a Bible? If you say Bible, you are a liar. We need to Church to interpret the scripture not scripture to interpret a church.
@@OzCrusader - Excellent points!! Also, where in any scripture are we given an example or instruction for how to split up churches and form new denominations? Surely with all the thousands of Protestant denominations we would find an example, but we don’t because it was always the desire of Jesus that we would be as one, just as Jesus and the Father are one.
@@J-PLeigh8409 - Excellent point!
So I'm a new Catholic who was talking to a reformed Protestant friend, and they brought up passages (mainly relating to predestination) from Romans 8 (specifically 8:29), Ephesians 1 (1:4-5 especially), and 2 Timothy 1:9. I wanted to know how to properly respond or if there's a video or resource specifically on those verses. Thank you again
Look up Catholic answers. Type in "Catholic answers predestination" into Google and they will have a bunch of Articles come up for you. I hope this helps.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank you so much! That helped a lot!
Karlo is great.
Great video! And wow, Karlo[s] is uber buff 💪
😅 He is jacked.
Don’t bother just ask them this question? Go on offensive (Whoever asks the questions is in control)
Ask them “Where does Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book ?
I don’t bother going any further with a PROTESTant what for?
thanks for the video I will check out the book sounds like a great read thank you!
@@bcalvert321 we can all read but every people have different interpretations, that's why there is about 45,000 different Christian denominations.
Now it boils down to which interpretations are close to the original Christians, you know, like in the first century where Jesus Apostles still around or before Romans became Catholic/Christian.
Pray and be honest to yourself, ask God to guide you as you start cross examining and read the first Christians on what they believed or there interpretation of the Bible. You'll be surprised many of their practices are aligned to the Catholics.
@@bcalvert321 again like I told you, look at the first Christian practice before roman became Christian look back before 313AD and also Jerome wrote the Bible around 382AD, you can always do your research starting at early Christian 312AD and below. Also would you agree with the early Christians Interpretation and practices?
@@bcalvert321 and I put down read the Church father before Jerome miss up the scripture. It's really up to you, for me, I trust the church fathers interpretation versus the 1500's interpretation of the Bible.
@@bcalvert321 a very Catholic viewpoint.

It's a good and sincere thing to lead the mistaken back to the flock but when there becomes unwillingness to receive truth and immerse oneself in faith, sometimes we need the help of prayer for that person so that lost soul be found in Christ. I pray out loud Acts 26:18 and Ephesians Chapter 1, as recorded by Saint Paul. I applaud your resilience and we need this! The distorted notions being taught Must Stop because Saint Peter warns that anyone who leads Christ's little ones astray from the Truth are better off bound by the neck with a boulder and thrown into the sea. Abomination of the Sacred Teachings and Scriptures including our Most Precious Sacred Sacraments that substantiate tangible reflection and centeredness help to ensure gracious reminders of our Faith. Thank you for this Much Needed affirmation! May God continue to Bless you both fully! 🔥💞
this is the second time I have chanced to come across Karlos....think I better get my hands on his book...May God Bless...Ave Maria !

@@CatholicTruthOfficial Love the Truth
Interesting that Ezekial 36:25 says "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean". We often get accused, as Catholics, of not doing full immersion baptisms, but maybe this verse is helpful?
It is absolutely a verse that proves that baptism doesn't have to be by immersion, and in fact, the word baptism doesn't always mean immersion as Protestants think.
The Jews had different meanings for that word, and it could be sprinkled or admininstered without immersion.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thanks Bryan, I hadn't realised that. I just knew the 3,000 in one day being baptised in Jerusalem - and how precious a water supply would have been at that time, that it was unlikely all would have been fully immersed. Good to have more tools in my tool box!
I just heard Karlo with William Albrect. His explanation of the miraculous nature of the Eucharist alone is worth reading the whole book.
Karlo pointed out that in John 6 the whole discourse is couched between a beginning and ending statments that FAITH is required for understanding. And then the whole thing is within the context of the miraculous manna. OMGosh, It really made seeing the Eucharist as a metaphor completely ridiculous.
You don't need to read the book .....Jesus Himself tells you in the bible to eat His body and drink His blood
And the following verses attest to that :
Mt 26:26-27; Mk 14:22,24; Lk 22:19-20; 1 Cor 10:24-25 - “This is my Body…This is my Blood.”
1 Cor 5:7 - “Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the feast” (i.e. the the Eucharist)
1 Cor 10:16 - eating Eucharist is participation or communion with the Body and Blood of Christ.
1 Cor 11:26-30 - unworthy eating is sinning against the Body and Blood of Christ
Jn 6:52-58 - you must eat the Body and Blood of Jesus
Now this just makes the " Sola Scriptura" fly in the face of the protestants .... because they don't even follow it themselves .
They cherry pick
Jesus didn't say " you must pretend to eat My body and drink My blood" .....end of story
Pastors are just after the tithes ....I should know ....I have an in-law who is a Protestant pastor 🤪...and he slipped up one day saying how they were taught to slip the " the more you give the more you get " either in the beginning middle or end of their preaching 🤪
The Heterodox, like the Gnostic/Dualism centuries before them, also believed the Holy Eucharist was not the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.

Hi Bryan.
Dear Catholic Family,
I am not a Novus Ordo Catholic.
I am a Traditional Catholic. My Apologetic strategy that I use invalidates Protestantism. I go for the Jugular and choke their Position by accusing them. The Protestants have approximately 40,000 Different Denominations with 40,000 Different Interpretations of the Bible.
Different Interpretation, Different Jesus. (A False Jesus) I ask how many Different Interpretations does it take to become a Red Flag to you?
And why isn't that Questioned as it should?
There is only one God
There is only one Truth
There is only one Interpretation
Therefore there is only one Church
Guess what? They have no Answer.
And that is just for Starters. Shall we Continue? I also accuse them of Denying Christ. Luke 10:16
It's just to Easy. That one blows their hair back. May the Lord Saturate your Souls with the Holy Spirit. 🔥✝️📿🙏

Here are other verses that help about forgiveness and a question, is this where we get the last rites given to a dying person?
James 5:13-16
13 Any one of you who is in trouble should pray; anyone in good spirits should sing a psalm.
14 Any one of you who is ill should send for the elders of the church, and they must anoint the sick person with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him.
15 The prayer of faith will save the sick person and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.
16 So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another to be cured; the heartfelt prayer of someone upright works very powerfully.
This is The Word Of The Lord,
And These are great News for us Sinners!!

I know where Ben and other Protestants are coming from - I was once in their shoes. I was an evangelical Protestant for 40 years before beginning my conversion process to the one, true, apostolic, and holy Catholic Church. For a Protestant, the Catholic Church HAS to be FALSE and an apostasy, otherwise they are wrong and are guilty of persecuting Christians and Christ’s Church that he commissioned through Peter. When a Protestant converts to Catholic, it’s through much research and sound, logical reasoning. Not just emotion, or “what I want” as we typically see when a Catholic converts to Protestantism. I certainly did not WANT to convert to Catholicism. I was quite happy with my 66 book Bible, faith alone doctrine, modern music, and theater seats with cup holders for my coffee. But that’s NOT what God wanted. He wanted me worshiping Him in Mass. He wanted me to sacrifice my wealth, my time, my talents, and my heart to do HIS work.

Bryan, What was the procedure for old testaments believers who committed a mortal sin, to be absolved? And also if commit a mortal sin and have perfect contrition before the sacrament of confession, when is it forgiven by God? Thank you
In the book of Leviticus, a priest prays for a man's sins. The sinner can have an offering such as a ram as a sacrifice left at the door of the tabernacle.

Bryan mercier has the best videos.
No doubt, Bryan and Trent are 1 of the best defenders of Catholic faith.. packs with factual, historical background and information!
I need some apologetics help regarding an interaction I had with an atheist. I was speaking about Saint Thomas Aquinas 5 proofs for the existence of God and was retorted with the concept that if God is the great designer and creator of all things and if all things can be traced back to God initiating creation, if God exists, what/who created God? I felt my response to that was rather lack luster in that I replied that God is "outside" of the physical universe and is therefore not constrained by the laws of the physical universe so therefore He always was, is now, and ever shall be (in other words, infinite). What advice can be shared on how to counter the argument:
1. All things that exist need a creator
2. God exists
3. God needs a creator
Thanks and may the peace of Christ be with you!
If God was created, then God would not be God. That is why we say that Jesus is begotten and not made.
Hi Everyone
Hi Tanya. 👋
Hi!👊
13:30 immaculate conception
KJV: John 19:30: "It is finished.". No purgatory, works, or indulgences, say the Protestants whose reliance on their interpretation of this verse obviating salvation based in anything but grace and faith alone, which means at least many Protestants simply don't care about Catholic interpretations or apologetics. So, what's the answer to that?
Protestants don't seem to understand the words it is finished. It was not quite finished at that time because he had not risen from the dead yet. And even if it was, it doesn't mean no purgatory, no works, or any of the other things they erroneously assume. Purgatory is biblical. Living out your faith in works and obedience to the Commandments is also biblical.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thanks very much for your reply, Bryan! I was playing devil's advocate for the Christian rebels (Protestants), because I have a cousin who left us and seems to reduce salvation to that one line: "It is finished.". I never know what to say. That most Catholics are under catechised and don't know apologetics is a tragedy. I only know a little. Listening to your videos is instructive and a relief to be learning and re-enforcing my morale in the absence of receiving any of this from the pulpit. May God bless you. I'm sure that you're leading many souls into Heaven through your apostolate.
It would be very helpful if you show the verses that are being discussed.
Thank you.
John 20:19-23
19 In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be with you,'
20 and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord,
21 and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.'
22 After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.
Question? In response to RCs comment about James verses, is Carlos saying we must prove our salvation to God by our works? So God isn't sure whether we have faith, or not until He sees our works?
Totally different question.....why is Pope Francis requiring all money to be put in the Vatican bank by September 30th?
When Bryan was bringing up baptism he mentioned Romans 6 which I concur with but if you look at Romans 6 it says we are buried with Christ in baptism it doesn't say sprinkled. So why not stick with the original method of being buried with Christ ? When a person dies physically they are buried under 6 feet of dirt they are not sprinkled with dirt .😊
Catholics submerge, pour and sprinkle. Though sprinkling is the most rare. The Jews understood being buried in a spiritual way also. Moreover, they understood the baptism was not only submersion but pouring and sprinkling too. We just made a video on that topic if your interested in the full biblical model. It's never been only submersion, not in Judaism or Christianity. ua-cam.com/video/LMAT5b3KUMI/v-deo.htmlsi=TpIThzCMDU1pcPUB

Can you fellas explain to your audience Collosians 2:11, please.
In what particular chapter and verse in the Bible that authorized the changed of the Sabbath Day from Saturday to Sunday? Please answer me Sir.
@@jmdsservantofgod8405 are you sure that it really doesn't matter? You're ridiculous Bro. Sabbath keeping as the Holy Day of the LORD is very necessary. This is one of the "ten commandments of GOD" in Exodus chapter 20, particularly the 4th commandments and in fact, the heart of the ten commandments. Have you not noticed the word "remember" in the fourth commandments? I think you didn't. Now I want you to know that keeping the Sabbath Day Holy is very important, God already predicted that in the generations to come, many of the people in this world will forget this command, that is why He said the word "remember" for us not to forget it. And in fact, the Ten commandments is eternal, this is unchangeable (Matthew 5:17-18) , and you do not have to set aside any of the least of His commandments, for the one who sets aside the any of the least commands will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. It means , you'll not be going to enter in the Heavenly Throne of God if you set aside even one of His commandments. And here's the question now my brethren, do you truly love God? And if you truly love Him, keep all his commandments (John 14:15) and in fact this is the whole duty of man to fear GOD and keep all his commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13) and you will not be considered as one of the people of God if you will not keep his commandments and remain faithful to Him(Revelation 14:12), and lastly you will never have the right to the tree of life if you will reject his commandments (Revelation 22:14).. so friend, if you truly love Jesus our LORD and Savior, let's follow Him and be faithful to Him always 😇
@@jmdsservantofgod8405 it really matters my friend.
@@jmdsservantofgod8405 well, you didn't really understand what Jesus means about the love of God and the love of our fellowmen. That's the summary of the ten commandments Sir. Just try to look on review about the ten commandments of God in Exodus chapter 20. You'll see that the first four commandments is the love for God, and the rest six is the love for our fellowmen. Now, I would not be going to argue about , we are now not under the law, but we are now under grace. Yes off course! That's what the Bible says. But noticed in Romans chapter 3:31 that says "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we stablish the law." See? It doesn't mean that because we are under grace we do not have to keep the Holy Law of God, which is the ten commandments. And in fact, God ask you, that if you love Him, you should keep his commandments (John 14:15) and John 15:10 says "If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my father's commands and remain in his love. And in verse 11 in continuation, it says there that "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy maybe complete." How wonderful and powerful are these verses friend 😇 and in fact, this is the love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.(1John 5:3) and this verse is referring to the ten commandments. And here's the truth about the people who do not sincerely follow the commandments of God, in 1John 2:4 "whoever says "I know him", but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person." So in means , if you do not follow the commandments of God my Dear friend, though you teach them so, then you'll be called a liar, because you didn't do it. So friend, If you truly love the Lord your God, just keep his commandments and follow what he teaches you, because this will justify your faithfulness to Him. So friend, follow God and not your own will.
Which is more important, the Sabbath or Jesus rising from the dead.

Which chapter in the Bible teaches Sola Scriptura?
With regard to John 20:21-23, one can only forgive someone's faults but not sins. The Jews considered anyone claiming to forgive sins as "blasphemous". Only the Son of Man can forgive sins. Matthew 9:1-5
Bryan if you pick something up from the garbage you want to keep.is it stealing?
No. They threw it away. :)
It could be if a person lost something in their garbage, goes out to look for it and you have taken it. It isn't your garbage can.
It happened to me. A lovely picture of my mother in an exquisite frame was thrown away by mistake. A man ran away with it after I caught him going through my garbage.That is stealing!
He could have knocked on my door and asked-- no, he stole it and ran away. It was a photo of my mother. What a total thief. It was mine and he knew it.
What if your car keys were accidentally thrown in the garbage? It happens. So the man can steal your car keys? Does it mean I threw away my car? No.
If something is on the curb-- like a sofa or something. Fine. But going through a person's garbage in a container is iffy.
Thank you for all the information that you share.
BTW Jesus addressed Nicodemus as "THE" teacher of Israel, not "a" teacher, and Nicodemus asked how he could reuse his mother's birth to be born again and Jesus dismissed that entirely and explained that water and Spirit together were the ingredients needed to be Born Again.
The Trinity formula was given to the Apostles later.

*People there is a very good thread of comments starting with DA the person who started the common thread and someone named Minterball, who sounds like someone named "mojo" whoI have debated many times. It's probably him with a different username. Read what he says about The very red letter words of Christ in John 6:51.*
John 6:51 KJV
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
It's witness killing. This is a perfect example of someone who possesses a DEAD FAITH.
John 6:51 is in error. There will be people that died in mortal sin , that has eaten this bread. For it to be true it has to say there are exceptions like dying in mortal sin. Probably a scribe forgot to put that in. I am very surprised you did not catch this error.

I get the fundamental protestant view that you MUST be married and have children to be a leader. But i don't get the Catholic view of you must NOT be married.

Sufficiency of scripture references.
2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (NIV) This verse emphasizes the divine inspiration and sufficiency of Scripture for instructing believers and equipping them for righteous living.
2 Peter 1:20-21: "Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit." (NIV) This passage underscores the divine origin and authority of Scripture, emphasizing that it is not subject to personal interpretation but is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." (NIV) This verse highlights the illuminating and guiding role of Scripture in the life of the believer, suggesting that it provides clear direction and guidance for faith and conduct.
Matthew 4:4: "Jesus answered, 'It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" (NIV) In this verse, Jesus affirms the authority of Scripture by quoting from the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 8:3), demonstrating its importance in shaping the spiritual life of believers.
Revelation 22:18-19: "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll." (NIV) While this passage specifically refers to the book of Revelation, some proponents of sola scriptura see it as a broader admonition against adding or subtracting from Scripture, affirming its completeness and sufficiency.
”Now these people were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.“
Acts 17:11 NASB2020
Clear example that the authority is from the scriptures.
On the authority of the Pope:
The early church writers like Clement clearly describes the early church as independent local bodies.
Tertullian in the early third century is the first writer to use the phrase “Pontiff Maximus” and “Bishop of Bishops”. The only problem here is he was insulting the Bishop of Rome because he was upset that this person was claiming to have more authority than they deserved.
None of these proved a sufficiency of scripture. Sorry.
2 Tim. 3:16-17 doesn't say that the Bible is the only or final authority. It doesn't say that anywhere. Rather, this passage says Scripture is 'helpful' (not sufficient) in helping a Christian. Many things are helpful in that regard, but it never says only or final. Lastly, 2 Tim. 3:16-17 is talking about the Old Testament Scriptures, not the whole Bible. So that doesn't prove your point.
If we are going to take this, literally, then all we need is James 1:4. James says that perseverance makes us perfect, and complete, and lacking in nothing, and the language is far stronger than in 2nd Timothy.
Revelation 22 does not prove the Bible alone or the sufficiency of scripture either. This was written by John when he was exiled on the Island of Patmos. After he had finished writing the book of Revelation, he sealed it up with the warning not to add or take away from it because it was given to him directly by God. The Bible would not even be put together for another 300 years. So this passage is only talking about the Book of Revelation not the whole Blble.
Tertullian was a Catholic and So would not have insulted the Bishop of Rome. At least not until the end of his life when he left the church to join a heresy.
1- Sola Scriptura is a natural understanding of what it means to have inspired Scripture.
2- In Old Testament times they were to test future teachers and teachings by the Scripture they had received.
3- in the New Testament the gospel, once communicated, was to be held to no matter who came to teach otherwise. This absolutely requires individual understanding of the gospel (which is in the New Testament) and the ability to tell any potential "authority" to take a hike.
4- challenges about denominations or the origin of the canon are not defectors for Sola Scriptura.
5- Striking Parallels between Catholicism and Pharisaism seem to demonstrate precedence for how to deal with supposed church authority when it ads tradition to the commands of God.
Protestantism is anarchy. It leads to loss of faith because of the multitude of various denominations and personal interpretations. I also think they rely too heavily on the Hebrew scriptures as if they were written to gentiles.
Protestants can be very strict as far as behavior goes. They do many works of charity when Catholics put a stingy limit on what they will give yearly to people in desparate need. Please, watch what you say.
Moreover, Catholics, many of whom are heavy drinkers, Always find an occasion to party and get drunk. It's a constant recreation for Catholics I know. It really is a perpetual sin. Care about the poor? Not that much from what I've seen. Mostly they care about the arts which is useless to the very poor--opera when you are starving to death? Who cares? Some painting won't feed anyone food for their belly or heat or cool for their body. Yeah, comfort your soul with a gaudy piece of art-- while you starve, freeze or die of dehydration.
Protestants give money when it is needed to the person who needs it. Catholics here only give money from the church to the poor once a year and not much either. They have to beg outside a locked door. Yet, it is the wealthiest church in town and the church itself is ornate beyond belief. Some stupid Mardi Gras parade--again, people dressed like nutcases-- drunk as hell. For what?
Please don't make blanket statements about Protestants. What Catholics I know say and what they DO are two totally different things. It's money, money money they want-- but giving very little. It's a lot of talk. That's all it is.
No, we dont.
Does this work if I don't read the book?😂
The dirty little secret why Protestants "crush" Catholics in debate is knowing what is in the Word of God, not some man made written book. All you need is "one" book, the Bible. Those who scoff will reap their due harvest. We should spend more energy finding/knowing the Truth than trying to prove another that they don't have the Truth. Speck / log?🤫
On the Day of Pentecost Peter urged the many Jews from abroad who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover feast to repent of their sins and be baptized for the remission of their sins and that they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Cornelius, the gentile, with his household and friends actually received the Holy Spirit first before they were baptized in water on the same day I suppose. Paul was concerned that the 19 disciples that he had met in Ephesus had only received the baptism of John - the baptism of repentance - and therefore he laid hands on them to receive the Holy Spirit.
By the way Jesus said to his apostles that they will do even greater things than he did; but we do know that Jesus has the the pre-eminence in everything.
Jesus humbly associated himself with the little boy when he multiplied his five loaves of bread and two fishes to feed a crowd of five thousand without counting women and children.
Brian, you asked Karlos if there are saints in heaven. He didnt give a resounding yes, which is what most if not all catholics believe. Karlos actually said he reasonably thinks it refers to live saints on earth. Hes right.
Karlo knows there are saints in heaven (Rev. 6:9). The Catholic Church teaches that anyone who said in heaven is a saint. But his point was that this passage refers to the people in heaven receiving the prayers of the Saints on earth.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Well, i dont believe being under the alter means running loose in heaven. But anyway, it goes on to say;
they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
They are to rest, not work like service animals relaying prayer requests and finding lost keys. I quess this is where the catholic montra comes in that "just because its not in the bible doesnt mean its not true". Just for sake of argument, people dont get to heaven til after the judgment. Just depends on who you believe.
Who said anything about running loose and having? The point is that Revelation 6:9 100% shows people in heaven and it shows that they are cognizant and that they remember and that they're talking to christ. Revelation 5:8 also shows people in heaven.
What does it mean to rest? What is the context? You're forcing your own beliefs and personal Protestant traditions on the bible. You have to remember that God and Heaven is outside of space and time in the Eternal present moment. So they're not running around and trying to gather all the prayers, whereas they can hear them all in one moment by the power of God and it's a joy for them to intercede for us as they want nothing more than for us to get to have him. And we see them praying for us in Revelation 5:8, and the angels praying for us in Revelation 8:3 and following.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial 5;8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Youre assuming the elders are humans from earth born of women? We are very sure these are not your garden variety human. They are created beings, created in heaven. And like Karlos says, the prayers are from people on earth praying. Every day i run into a catholic who thinks its from saints in heaven praying. Those vials must be crowded. The people under the alter are saying one thing, to avenge them.
Bryan if somebody does the unforgivable sin would they care
Do you mean like Judas? When he had a change of heart?
I was raised catholic, yet never really understood salvation nor was I saved until a protestant shared the gospel simply and truthfully to me. Protestant is not your ennemy though...
How are they not the enemy if they are attacking the Catholic Church which is Christ's church. Also, it's difficult to say that Protestants shared the gospel with you since they can't even agree among themselves what the gospel is. The agree on almost nothing even down to the basics on what the word faith means, justification, and how to be saved. So you only have one version in tens of thousands. Please keep in mind that Jesus only started one church, the Catholic Church 2000 years ago. Every other Protestant denomination is man-made and not from Christ since there is only one church, one faith, one hope, when baptism, one doctrine. That's what the Bible says. I'm just some thoughts for you. Thank you for the comment. And for the record we love our separated Protestant brothers and sisters, but we also pray for them to come back to the fullness of the truth.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial because they do save souls and this is what Jesus commanded. Jesus will not ask you whether you were catholic or protestant...He will ask the state of our soul. The christian have only spiritual ennemy which is satan.

How or why do Catholics insist on using graven images? The second commandment is; Thou shalt have no graven images. Furthermore, the practice of lighting candles is pagan in origin. God does not require candles. We need them to see, not God. I am not trying to be fresh. I honestly want to know why The Church insists on doing this. It’s the only thing that keeps me from your “door”
It sounds more like no answer we give will satisfy you.
@Clara - In Exodus 20:3-6 God forbids making graven images for the purpose of idolatry but does not forbid the making of graven images per se. Elsewhere he commands that statues and other graven images be carved for religious purposes. The Catholic Church permits statues because they remind us of unseen things, but it condemns the idolatry of statue worship.
“[The Lord said] make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end. . .” (Ex. 25:18-19).
“You shall make the tabernacle with . . . cherubim skillfully worked” (Ex. 26:1). “The Lord said to Moses, `Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.’ So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole” (Num. 21:8-9).
“He made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high. . . . He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the Temple . . . And he overlaid the cherubim with gold. He carved all the walls of the Temple round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers” (1 Kgs. 6:23, 27-29).
“[The brazen sea] stood upon [statues of] twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east” (1 Kgs. 7:25).
“And on the surfaces of its stays and on its panels, he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about” (1 Kgs. 7:36).
Peace!!!

Someone wrote this: “Jesus supported his testimony with Scripture.” but, a Christian, bases his testimony on the GOSPEL. Yes, the GOSPEL and the person of JESUS CHRIST. Because a Christian is bound to God by the New Covenant (and not the old one).

@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thank You Brian ! corrected
I would like to ask you Sir, where can you find in the Bible that God allow swine to be eaten as a food?
Several times in the New Testament including where it says that it's not what goes into the mouth that's unclean but what proceeds from the heart that makes you unclean. And also in Acts chapter 10 where God commanded all foods good including meats
Well, Sir you're referring to the chapters and verses that goes out of the context. You particularly used Matthew chapter 15 and Mark chapter 7. Now my question is, do you think this particular chapters (Matthew chapter 15 and Mark chapter 7) that you used, talks about "the forbidden animals to eat"? Or the very issue in these chapters is all about "washing your hands before you eat"? These chapters talked about "washing your hands before you eat", exactly. Because the Pharisees had their tradition that when you eat, you have to wash your hands, and this is according to their tradition, and for them following this tradition is necessary for their salvation. But Jesus rebuked them about this tradition. Now my second question is, do you find the forbidden animals mentioned in this chapter? No not at all! Because this is not what the chapter is talking about. I will never get to argue with what Jesus's said in verse 11 in Matthew that says "what goes in someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." Exactly! Now I'm gonna share with with the truth just for an enlightenment, when we go back to the original greek manuscript, we can find there the word "artus" in this chapter, and "artus" in the english translation is the what we called "bread" , and that's what the disciples ate that time, and not the swine's flesh and any forbidden animals that God forbid us to eat (leviticus chapter 11 & Deuteronomy chapter 14). I hope this is clear.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Are you sure that in Acts chapter 10, the context is all about food? Or it's all about people? This chapter talks about the people. Yes GOD showed Peter the vision, He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals as well as reptiles and birds. Then a voice told him, "get up Peter kill and eat". Then have you not wondered about the response of Peter? He replied, "surely not Lord!" I have never eaten anything impure and unclean. Why is that he never eaten anything impure and unclean, obviously because that's what Jesus taught them, not to eat impure and unclean animals. Now, after it happened three times, the sheet was taken back to heaven right? So, the vision has its meaning. And Peter was wondering about the meaning of that vision. And Yes, if you'll try to read the whole chapter, then you'll find the meaning of the vision that vision in verse 28 that says "He said to them: You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But GOD had shown me that "I should not call anyone impure or unclean." Now, this is what the vision means, I hope it's clear for you Sir. Please when you use a particular verse just to defend an argument, make sure that you read the whole chapter and understand its thought. Be wise and be truthful Sir, do not try to deceive someone for the sake of your man-made doctrine. Now, here's my last verses to share with you, if you think GOD already allowed us to eat all those forbidden animals that He mentioned and command us not to eat in Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14, why is that in Isiah chapter 66:15-17 it says "See the LORD is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the LORD will execute judgement on all people, and many will be those slain by the LORD."Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things- they will meet their end together with the one they follow", declares the LORD. Now this is the truth Sir. Hopefully you'll accept this truth, and hopefully you're enlightened about this. God bless you Sir, and we'll help to pray that you'll fully understand the truth in the Bible and accept it with all your heart, mind, soul, and everything that you have😇
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The prophecy of prophet Isaiah is very certain, because God's words never fails. And this will happened in the future, not before but in the future. Hope this is clear Sir. Just follow the Bible and your own will.
Where in the New Testament did any of the Apostles tell the Gentiles that they had to follow the Jewish dietary laws?
This is not good for Christians in general , God will not want to see us being divided because of how someone think his teaching should be . Rather than looking at what he want us do.
Say whatever you want but God doesn't want his body to be scatter but of hold.
Paul warned us there would be division, but only one of the 2 actors would be correct.
1 Cor 11:19
for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.
KJV 1 Cor 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
St. Augustine, explaining this text, says that as fire is necessary to purify silver, and separate it from the dross, so heresies are necessary to prove the good Christians among the bad, and to separate the true from the false doctrine. The pride of the heretics makes them presume that they know the true faith, and that the Catholic Church is in error, but here is the mistake: our reason is not sufficient to tell us the true faith, since the truths of Divine Faith are above reason; we should, therefore, hold by that faith which God has revealed to his Church, and which the Church teaches, which is, as the Apostle says, "the pillar and the ground of truth" (I. Tim. 3:15).
St. Iraeneus says, "It is necessary that all should depend on the Roman Church as their head and fountain; all Churches should agree with this Church on account of her priority of principality, for there the traditions delivered by the Apostles have always been preserved" (St. Iraen. lib, 3, c. 3); and by the tradition derived from the Apostles which the Church founded at Rome preserves, and the Faith preserved by the succession of the Bishops, we confound those who through blindness or an evil conscience draw false conclusions (Ibid).
It was the will of the Almighty that the Church in which the true faith was preserved should be one, that all the faithful might profess the one faith, but the devil, St. Cyprian says (de Unitate Ecclesie), invented heresies to destroy faith, and divide unity. The enemy has caused mankind to establish many different churches, so that each, following the faith of his own particular one, in opposition to that of others, the true faith might be confused, and as many false faiths formed as there are different churches, or rather different individuals.
The Church is by her very nature indefectible. Her adversaries cannot overcome her. We have the assurance of Christ that the Church will never be totally destroyed as he clearly states that "the gates of Hell will no prevail against it" (Matt 16:18). Yet this promise of indefectibility is not given to any person (this includes the Pope), state or country but only the Church as whole. For this reason did St. Athanasius say that even if the Church were reduced to handful of people, if they hold to tradition, they would be the true Church, since holding to the deposit of faith and rejecting it is what makes the difference between being a Catholic and being a Heretic.
Right on, brother.
@@tatie7604 I forgot I posted that comment. I just copied it and pasted it into a discord server.

@Terese - why do you get to answer the question for God? Surely He can answer for Himself.
So you need to be baptized to be saved? What about the thief on the cross?
The thief on the cross COULD NOT be baptized because there was NO Christian Baptism available at that time (The only kind of Baptism available at that time was the Baptism of John the Baptist which isn't necessary for salvation). Christian Baptism started AFTER Jesus had risen from the dead. Remember that the FIRST time that Jesus commanded His disciples to baptize people from all nations was AFTER He had risen from the dead (Matthew 28:19). At the time when the thief was on the cross, Jesus had NOT YET risen from the dead, so it wasn't possible for him to be baptized in the Christian way
@@jerome2642 thank you.
Here are quotes from the bible to refer protestants to when they argue about the Eucharist :
Mt 26:26-27; Mk 14:22,24; Lk 22:19-20; 1 Cor 10:24-25 - “This is my Body…This is my Blood.”
1 Cor 5:7 - “Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the feast” (i.e. the the Eucharist)
1 Cor 10:16 - eating Eucharist is participation or communion with the Body and Blood of Christ.
1 Cor 11:26-30 - unworthy eating is sinning against the Body and Blood of Christ
Jn 6:52-58 - you must eat the Body and Blood of Jesus
It's from " Catholic answers to Protestants " a book

Is it not logical that, if Jesus gave his disciples the power to heal the body, He would give them the power to heal people's souls? Which is more vital to a human being - to be assured that one's body is free from sickness or that one's soul is free from sin? The Sacrament of Reconciliation brings this assurance assuming, of course, that the penitent is truly sorry and has a firm purpose of amendment. It also has the ecclesial dimension of reconciling the person to the community as well as to God. This is true 'blessed assurance'. The sacrament also has the added advantage of spiritual guidance and heart to heart conversations that are guarded by the 'seal' of Confession which can be of great benefit to one's mental health - thus bringing further healing.
For God's sake. Let the guest SPEAK!!
Do we need a priest or church for practising John 3.5? In the explanation of Jesus to Nicodemus we do not see a word about it. - What is needed for eternal life & new birth from spirit? One Word: "Belief" see 3.15...32 - Paul an his colleagues confirms this doctrine.
Yes we do in fact need the church for baptism (Jn. 3:5) and we see the church baptizing throughout the New Testament and the book of acts. Jesus said if you don't listen to the church then you reject him.
Belief only is not unbiblical it's not anywhere in Scrioture. Unless you just ripped one verse out of context. Jesus says belief without obedience is disbelief. Jn. 3:36.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial you may be right, but where do you see a "church" in Jn and acts? What exactly do you mean by "church"?
Read John 20:23 in context. It is not saying a priest has the authority to forgive sins. Only God has that power. It is saying Christian disciples have the authority to pronounce what sins have been forgiven. That's the difference.
Also, only those who do not understand what was accomplished on the cross and believe Jesus Christ's blood sacrifice did not cover and cleanse all sin believe in purgatory.
Why did Jesus give the Apostles the Holy Spirit?
John 20:22-23 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
@@georgepierson4920 Only Jesus Christ can forgive sins. The thoughts of a pedofile priest pretending to act in God's place to forgive my sins is disgusting.
There is not one verse where disciples or apostles forgave someone's sin. If they has such authority we would have seen it practiced in the Bible by others. Christians are to forgive one another. Only God can bestow absolute pardon of sin (Psalm 130.4; Isiah 43:25; Daniel 9:9; Micha 7:18; Acts 8:22).
For Protestants who misunderstand how the sacrifice of Christ works would therefore misunderstand Purgatory as well. And for the record, Catholics believe that it's God who forgives the sin through the priest. So we agree that only God can forgive sins.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial When the Temple veil was torn in two, top to bottom, it singled that we had direct access to God through Jesus Christ. No intermediary. It's the Catholic Church that doesn't understand that Christ's blood sacrifice was for all sinners and all sins. Are you washed in the blood? You are not if you think there's more to do than believe. Paid in full. The sacrifice is complete. "It is finished."
@@johnbrowne3950 Why did Jesus give the Apostles the Holy Spirit?
John 20:22-23 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
"The Bible doesn't instruct us to ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for us, that doesn't mean we shouldn't ask the Holy Spirit to intercede..."
You haven't met my (Baptist) church's former pastor, who insists that it is only biblical to pray to the Father, not to the Son or the Spirit.
Many people claim that, including mormons.
I know the Eastern Orthodox Church calls the Immaculate Conception a heresy.
That's one of the problems with them.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I'm becoming Catholic & this question I do have so maybe you could answer it for me. If Mary was sinless then doesn't that contradict scripture since Christ was pure & sinless? Why would Marry have to be sinless to give birth to the Lord? Thank you.
@@perfectlambministry777. Mary was a sinful human. Im very sure shes OK now.

Twisting scripture even more to make a false doctrine sound true isn't a good thing to do.
No, it's not, which is why you should pray for the protestants. We pray for them.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Everything the catholic church teaches has been taken out of context and/or is something written by someone from the mid to late second century that is nowhere close to what the apostles or their students taught.
This is why they won't use the KJV Bible because it exposes their deceptions.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial What is going on in the catholic church is against the word of God, repent and ask God for forgiveness of your sins and trust in The Lord Jesus Christ and no other for your salvation.
The Assumption of Mary is a tough one. Why? Because, John the Beloved, who brought her into his own home, had every opportunity to document her assumption into heaven. But he didn't. He wrote about a lot of other things.
You can't just say because Elijah was assumed, then so was Mary. No, Elijah was Elijah. Mary was Mary.
The apostles could have written many things, but they didn't. Their focus wasn't on Mary at the time but on Jesus and getting people to follow the messiah. However John did document it though. He wrote Revelation, and Revelation 12:1 shows Mary in heaven and crown with a crown of all stars.
Apologists can help you against protestants and non Catholics but if you really want to know the truth ....read the works of the visionaries who got the answers directly from Jesus Himself or Our Lady herself ....example Saints Faustina ,Mary of Agreda ...

The Heterodox would rather deny even RED LETTER WORDS from Christ himself rather than break the chains of their masters, the Reformers.
Minterball has done just that on another one of your comment threads. He would rather deny Christ than give up his Reformational beliefs, doctrines and his current denomination or cult.

SO HOW CAN YOU ONLY GO BY THE BIBLE ....( ITS MISSING SOME THINGS )
YOU PEOPLE ARE NUTS ( SOLA SCRIPTURA,)
the bible was developed by tradition as well as the writings ( epistles etc )
So you have to know tradition as well to get a good understanding of Christianity as well as the bible .....Jesus was a Jew and followed a lot of Jewish customs .....

Galatians 1:8,9
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!
These two passages imply the gospel is complete and final, "sola scriptura".
With all due respect and humility may I honestly ask, is not Catholic Tradition directly violating the above Bible verse?
Saying the Gospel is complete doesn't mean Sola Scriptura. The Gospel was complete and perfect even before the New Testament had begun to be written.
Agreed!
To clarify I'll quote R.C. Sproul.
“Although tradition does not rule our interpretation, it does guide it. If upon reading a particular passage you have come up with an interpretation that has escaped the notice of every other Christian for two thousand years, or has been championed by universally recognized heretics, chances are pretty good that you had better abandon your interpretation” (R.C. Sproul, The Agony of Deceit, 34-35). @@CatholicTruthOfficial
All was finished by Christ in the first Century. 2 thousand years later you will drive yourself nuts hoping that the church you pick is the way to God. All churches say they are the way. Ask God for the way for your life. Every other way will fail you.
Jesus finished everything 2,000 years ago but he also started a church 2000 years ago, so we don't need to search for it. He started the Catholic Church which is his only body and his only bride. He only has one not tens of thousands. And you will not find anything about a church free Christianity in the New Testament. That's unbiblical.
Trying to figure out who what where when why of the first Century is impossible. Jesus said , "It is finished". Bible says, Do unto others as would be done unto you. The 7 churches of the first Century are gone. Trust God and ask Him to lead you into His way. Stop looking for the right church or teaching from man.
It's not impossible and in fact it's easy. All you have to do is see which church is 2,000 years old, and the only church that fits that is the Catholic Church. Now go back and read the earliest Christians for the first four centuries and you will see that they were all Catholic which confirms it.
Jesus started a church and you are saying don't look for it. It's his bride and you're saying it's not important.
Pentecostals believe that being immersed in water is a real baptism and that because catholics are not immersed that they are not baptised. Water is only a symbol of what is happening inwardly where the Holy Spirit is cleansing the soul of Original Sin. It is not the water that wipes away the sin, it is the Holy Spirit. The water is only an outward sign.
