I want to warmly welcome any new convert. Welcome we are glad to have you.
And any on the way. :)
Amen. The truth is out there and I think we are done being stoic in prayer when the hate comes at us. I decided many years ago to study and become ready. I even took a walk with the Prots for a while. When the lies became HUGE I could no longer acquiesce to it any longer and found my way back with a vigorous dedication to Jesus Christ and His Church.
Amen! So glad we have welcoming examples like you!
Former protestant here - became Catholic at this year's Easter Vigil ⛪. Having to say goodbye to my old church was that much harder when I started to see just how deeply rooted some of the Catholic hate was among a few. And the most depressing part was that so much of their resistance to Catholicism was based on a very poor understanding of it.
I've never been closer to God and it's my greatest wish that our protestant brothers and sisters will one day be able to experience that fullness of communion with the Church again. Their love for Christ is self-evident, and it's a shame to see so many, through no fault of their own, being led astray by false teachings and lies about the Church.
Welcome home! ☺️🙏🏽
Amen, well said. And definitely welcome home. God bless you. Praise God.
What protestant faith were you associated with?
the office of the Pope is the 666 Antichrist and the Roman sabbath Sunday will become the mark of the beast.
Mike, thanks for your opinion. You really convinced us. ;)
On my search to disprove Catholicism I instead disproved Protestantism I now attend mass, spoke to my local priest, and will start OCIA (new name for RCIA)
Awesome! That warms my heart! Thank you Jesus for your grace!
That had to be a roller coaster of a journey! What was the first thing that softened your heart, if you don't mind my asking?
Welcome home and may you have many more blessing on your journey. God bless.
@@StringofPearls55 listening to both sides of the argument with an open mind, reading the church fathers, and I’d recommend trying to avoid watching content creators who aren’t willing to actually debate/ dialogue with the opposing side that was my initial error too many echo chambers on the internet. Mike Winger has hours of videos against Catholics but also openly refused to debate Trent Horn or any catholic that would be an example of the echo chamber I fell into.
@kenny. God bless you. Welcome home.
I will debate you any day, as I have this man. You can see postings of mine on his other videos, if they haven't been removed.@@kennynoNope
Thank you so much for this! I’m a convert and I posted that I was Catholic yesterday and was attacked lol but I have to be true to God and His church and going forward my ministry will be Catholic 🥰
My full-tine job is reporting anti-catholic trolls to UA-cam.
I saw that post too. Sadly we have a “Protestant problem” of our own in the Catholic Church with various “Rad trads, LGBTQ Catholics, and more” not believing Jesus as the Head of the Catholic Church and pope Francis under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit with recent doctrine releases the last 5 months and attempting to usurp the authority of the Church for their own control over and beliefs opposing the authority Jesus gave Peter in Matthew 16:17-19
I saw this too and praise the Lord
Catholicbeachbunny - Yaaayyy!!! Congratulations and welcome home!! There's so much hate out there, for the devil hates God too. And he hates truth and he hates light. And so you keep falling God and keep up the good work. We hope our videos can always inspire you.
Stay strong in the faith. If the Catholic Church taught what many believe that it teaches, we would hate it, too. Peace in Christ!
I was born into the Jehovahs Witnesses. My family initially came from a Baptist and Methodist background and had very prejudiced views towards Catholics. I was always curious about my friends who would go to CCD after school and was told a lot of misinformation regarding what Catholics believed. I left religion all together but when I decided to look into what the Bible really taught it begged the question “if the Catholic Church is so false as I was led to believe, why would anyone still be Catholic?” I stumbled on Brian’s channel and I liked how he isn’t afraid to tackle the hard questions and debate. Thank you for continuing to help me on my journey! I came home 2 years ago❤ God Bless!
Ray Comfort said on his channel he won't be debating Bryan.
Got to be some reason.
Ray Uncomfortable when facts are presented. 😅 (that's probably not as funny as I think it is right now! )
Sallie! We are so blessed to hear that and so thankful to God. Thank you Jesus!! Welcome Sallie! Welcome home and God bless you.
@StringofPearls55
Ray does get very unComfort-able when presented with facts.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Here is a question for you.I know with your knowledge you will have no problem answering.
When Queen Mary the First became monarch. The RCC was reinstated as the main Religion of England. What was the method the catholic church used to get the people back into the church nd sitting on the pew?
Now we know with the dishonesty of Catholic Truth we won't get an honest
answer.,or the other method is no answer at all.
I love that "truck loads" of protrestants being converted. Bryan truly had the Holy Spirit granted to him.
W.
I am one of them, reverted Dec. 31st. Thanks Brian and others out there going on the evangelistic corrective offense. I used to slam the church, and realized i only parroted all the preachers ... and literally was shocked at how every single thing i looked into was not what i was told. It is the truth, and it is the one Church. Glad to be home for sure
I absolutely love hearing this. It's so beautiful, humble, and gives us great joy to know that and despite being like Saul before he became Paul, people can and do become Paul if they are open. Praise be to God! Thank you for sharing. It is light and joy!🙏🏻🙏🏻 I just pray that so many others follow God as well.
God loves us all and welcomes us all to His Holy church....
Welcome home and God bless you for opening your heart and listening to Jesus calling you! So glad you’re in the Church
I went to a men’s conference and the bishop said he did 1,000 confirmations this year take that number across the world, he’s said despite what people think the church isn’t dying it’s growing
Amén, that is wonderful! Thanks be to God!! 🙏🙏❤️
The fullness of the gentiles. The Jews and Muslims are next.🙌🏻Praise Jesus Christ!
In my country Uganda the priest baptized 2000 people on Easter
Praise Jesus for that and I hear many converts are young teens and twenty somethings! How great is that?
Exactly this, the Church continues to grow! Amen!
I converted last year. I was a hardcore anticatholic. I didnt know any catholics in real life, wasnt watching any videos, reading anything about it. One really bad day i prayed to the lord to show me where i was wrong, what i had to do, where to go to fix my life. I was about to lose my family so i was desperate.
That night i dreamt about the history of the catholic church. I tried very hard to prove it wrong and couldnt. It took me about 6 months of intense daily study before i saw trent horn’s debate with james white. The craziest thing is…. Everything i learned about Catholic history matched my dream exactly and i had NO IDEA of that history before that dream! Everything i learned about catholics i got from conspiracy theorists and james white!
Holy Spirit Conviction
Wow, that's amazing! So glad to hear it. James White gives many fanciful theories and dishonest presentations unfortunately. Especially on Church history. But I'm glad that God spoke to you and that you have found peace in him and his church.❤️🙏🏻
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Thanks Bryan! Indeed…. I just saw the jimmy akin vs james white debate came out. Might as well be a heavyweight championship match! Im excited. Go jimmy!
That is beautiful and wild and wonderful! Welcome home. 🙏🏽☺️
Wow!! Your story gave me chills because my experience was similar except I heard an audible voice tell me, read me read me.. Then the word disobedient came up and how from Adam and Eve,Israelites,Middle Ages schisms and Martin Luther were all disobedient.
And then I sat back on my chair and said to myself,” I’m being disobedient “.
I ran back to the Catholic Church.
I started looking into the Catholic Church on a more deeper level a year ago after growing up with hearing all the criticisms from my friends who are Protestant. Then after my living situation changed about 4-5 months ago now, I started going to Mass and have been going ever since; and am looking forward to RCIA this year! I look forward to seeing what God has planned for my life!
❤all glory to God 🙏
Praise our good God!
Can’t wait to greet you in fellowship but I’ll give ya a early welcome home!
LOL! As a Catholic we are taught to love our fellow man and seldom hear the Church talk about Protestants negatively. When I was an evangelical my preachers and teachers were constantly insulting Catholics. Love was not in them.
We Catholics did talk negatively about Protestants in particular bc of Sola scripture. And we Catholics get back revenge by insulting them too.
God bless your soul to all of you who found the fullness of truth in the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
There is no Truth in the RCC church. Their Barbaric History proves it.
Perfectly put
Your videos have been a huge help to my journey. The first video I watched was on the cannon. I used to just believe whatever my pastor said until a couple of years ago when I started looking into things myself Catholicism made way more sense than Protestantism
Sooo glad to hear it! Thank youn Jesus. Bob Joe Pastor at every church are all teaching different things. Glad you looked it all up
@CatholicTruthOfficial Eventually I got tired of all the contractions and different interpretations of the same passages eventually looked into the early church and found it to be Catholic to my surprise.
My goal is to join the church in a year
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏 for all our brothers and sisters to come back home 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I used to be intimidated by protestants and their accusations, until one day it suddenly occurred to me that everything they were attacking is right there in the bible....Mary, and honouring her, saints, and their intercession, confession, good works, penance, the Eucharist, etc etc etc all skipped over and ignored by them
100%
You Catholics are so welcoming to new converts and it's a wonderful thing. I think every religion should treat new believers the way that Catholics accept new believers.
Amen! We are always excited to have people returning home to the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church.
Praise the Lord! What a joy to hear brothers and sisters come back to the Catholic Church.
It’s crazy how most Protestants throw random scriptures at us as if we weren’t the ones doing the same thing a couple years ago. For me, a couple months ago. I’m like, you think I’ve never read those scriptures before? You think I never made those same arguments before?
Or they'll say, you should try reading the Bible for once. Even though I've read it and studied it for decades. Meanwhile they just started reading it and don't really know anything about it many times. It is crazy. And sad.
Amen! brother and sister welcome home with tears and joy
God bless you Boss Bryan Mercier for continues to spreading the Truth about the True Church that Jesus Christ himself established!!!
For all Protestant out there, if you are really a true follower and Seekers of God and love God, you should ponder this: Jesus Christ is a good Pastor and also a High Priest, if Someone approach you and said he is a Pastor but not a Priest,then definitely it's a "Red Flag!!!" Wake up!!!
Viva Christo Rey
Ave Maria
📿✝️🙏❤️💚💙
🤣 LOL 😂
Saying Jesus invented an organization sounds so cringe and desperate just to be accepted as a legit religion.
@@georgebauerschmidt5289
Weeehhh, if Your Sects are the true Church that Jesus Christ Established show us the Following.
1. Apostolic Succession
2. The Remains of the Apostles in your Church
3. Name of your Pastors who have contributed to the compilation of the Holy Scripture.
If you can't provide any of these, so therefore your implicitly saying your church is fake!!! Registered under Government as Business Corporation.
@@georgebauerschmidt5289 Devil's tactic: Deception.
I never read anything that says Jesus invented an organization from the post.
It states " Jesus... established".
@@DadoMac Jesus established WHAT??? I still didn't see the word Catholic and it didn't say religion. Jesus invented the SPIRITUAL church that anyone that believes on the name of the Lord is a member. He didn't invent a PHYSICAL church. You are using the devils plan to invent your own words into scripture. Very dishonest indeed.
@@georgebauerschmidt5289 Oh you're talking honesty? Let's see how honest you are.
What sect or denomination you belong to?
You are truly helping us all to have a more reasonable faith. One not based in pride, but in humbleness before the truth.
God bless these people and bless everyone that they might come to know the fullness of the Truth.
God bless you Bryan, you and yours. God bless your works for the venue of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
So happy for this good news and God bless them for opening their hearts. I’ve been seeing more converts lately also on multiple different platforms. Mostly from Muslim and Protestants. Thanks to God
The problem is that most people outside the Catholic Church and within the Catholic Church in their hearts and beliefs love their own pride and man made control of “power as a self-appointed pastor and preacher to do my own” contrary to the Old and New Testaments of all authority and all power coming from God opposing Catholics just to do so. I hope many more will listen to Jesus and be part of his flock like our recent reading from John the past Sunday as the Good Shepherd.
Lord Jesus was persecuted how much more His founded church. It is the Holy Spirit who do the conviction (",)
@@danp.torreja2777I have heard the Sprit’s voice and received him in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Condemnation without Truth is simple pride for the sake one’s ego.
It is written “I know my sheep and they know me for they hear my voice and obey me.” God convicted Israel many times of their sins and sent the prophets under his authority he gave them to go speak for Him his message of Truth convicting them of their sins.
I converted in 2011. I am sort of an island, no Catholic friends and even on fb some of sites are completely Protestant based. At work I’m the only Catholic. Everyone thinks I’m wrong. One lady at work talks about the true church.. her church which is evangelical and they speak in tongues. They are the apostles…. Blah blah blah. I don’t get into arguments with her but I do not agree with her at all. I just keep being the best Catholic I can be.
Good for you. But that must be really hard. It's always hard to be alone. Maybe you should join it online Forum where you can at least talk to people and have people who will build you up and not break you down.
I’m in the same boat. I’m one of the very few Catholics at an inter confessional Bible ministry. I’m constantly told by some of my colleagues that I’m a demonic statue worshipper and regularly invited to non-denominational church services at the weekends. There are a couple I am more than willing to engage with but I am not knowledgeable enough yet to be an effective advocate. The videos produced by the team at Catholic Truth have been life changing for me.
Not a Protestant convert but my first entry point was accidentally a sedevacantist church. Because I wanted to go to a TLM and through opportunity I thought Mary was guiding us to this small TLM which ended up being sede…
Well I commented on one of your videos a sedevacantist view and you challenged me. Being honest I tried to look deeper into my point and yours on that issue.
To cut a long story short, myself and my family of 5 were baptised into the one true Holy Apostolic Catholic Church on 23rd December last year and my wife and I had our first communion during midnight mass on Christmas.
I share this to say your taking the time to challenge me with the truth, maybe it didn’t instantly change my mind but I’m sure it planted a seed of truth I needed at that time. One which was humility which was that you were correct that I was talking without knowledge just blindly repeating a sede viewpoint, just like Protestants do.
Happy to say it was that humility in understanding I’m not an authority, the laity don’t have authority over declaring popes heretics and I can with certainty say I’m no longer sede and I pray for those we met during our time there to return to the true Catholic Church.
During these times we cannot leave the Catholic Church, I was misguided, but in a night where I sincerely turned to the Lord I poured out my struggles and feelings and the next day we were lead to a new parish which has just moved closer to our home. The teaching here applies for Protestants too, if you have doubts, turn to the Lord sincerely and be willing to listen when he calls you or directs you in life and in this faith I truly believe all which do so sincerely can be saved through Our Lords grace. Even me this wretched sinner was lead out of the pig pen and brought home so I know our Protestant brothers and sisters can receive the same mercy and guidance through the truth of the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.
Keep up the great work brother.
I am saddened by some of the comments here. I am a very serious Christian, after growing up in an atheist home. But I adhere most to Protestantism. With that said, I LOVE all Christians - orthodox, Catholic, and Protestants.
I love Jesus with all my heart and I love his people - all Christians. Rather than think of Protestants as going to hell or unsaved, think of Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism as all following Christ, but there is a hierarchy for which one is at the top and bottom. But we will see each other in paradise.
I frequently stand up for Catholicism in front of Protestant family and friends, despite not being a Catholic. Jesus would rather his people praise, worship, and obey him rather than sow hatred and division amongst ourselves. And yes I know, Protestants can be very unloving towards Catholicism.
Very true our judgement is between us and God, no one else has the right to condemn
Protestants are severed from Christ. Any heresy severs you from Christ.
The Disciple of Christ Test:
Do you believe in Faith Alone, i.e. that faith is the Alone Instrument of Justification?
No, means you are not in heresy. FA is rejected by the Holy Spirit through Paul and Jesus. Jesus never taught this.
Yes, means you deny the Holy Spirit and only have a mere intellectual assent to faith.
@@Ryan_Zell Good gosh you sound just like the hate spewed from John MacArthur about Catholics.
Do I believe that faith alone is the sole instrument of justification? I have been increasingly changing my mind on this issue, and I don't know where I stand. Good fruit is undoubtedly tied to a believer, but I am unsure if it follows with justification or after.
I used to be from an Assembly of God and Non denominational church that was really pro Alexander Pagani but the fact that the guy had a fake name with the word Pagan in it made me feel uneasy but two years ago started looking into Catholicism and started going to RCIA I was confirmed Easter of last year. I’m happy to be catholic and I encourage others to become catholic
I was a catholic for twenty-plus years. There is a lot of what goes down is man-made.
But Jesus Christ and his Salvation is non-negotiable. It will take time before you find out that cannot be found in the CC.
The thing about former Catholics is they never knew their faith before they left. They didn't even look into it most times. Whereas these Protestants study the Catholic faith first, study the Bible and history, and they make an educated decision to become Catholic because it's the True Church of Jesus christ. We have whole videos on the sad case of Ex Catholics who didn't know anything and then suddenly became experts about Catholicism from anti-catholic protestants. But unfortunately they didn't know the Bible enough or history enough to realize they were being hoodwinked.
Simply darrel, great to hear it! Praise God and welcome home.
@@whathappening5323 I would recommend actually looking at church history. There was only sacred tradition and the Old Testament for 350 years, people were illiterate even at 1500 AD the amount of people who could read was about 11% and they were either rich or worked for the rich and it wasn’t until 1750 that literacy rates reached 60%. A Bible used to cost as much as a home or village depending on when you lived. There was about 1500 bibles printed in 1769 total and there was a population almost at a billion. They used to have bibles chained to giant rocks in the village next to the church. There wasn’t hundreds of denominations like there is today. Even in the 1700s there were only probably 20 denominations. Only one that could be traced back and proven to be founded by Christ even when you good search who founded the Catholic Church you see. Check every other denomination and you’ll see a man’s name.
Most of the beliefs people have today are a result of the increase of literacy with the typewriter back in 1865. Almost every church other than the four kingdom cults of Mormonism seventh day Adventism Jehovah’s witnesses and christian sciences and a few new denominations had the seven Old Testament books from the Catholics until 1885 AD. Furthermore because every denomination was in communion with the pope until 1510 AD I don’t believe God allowed the wrong religion for 1500 years to exist. That would mean almost 1500 years of damned souls. The Bible and simple history itself defend the Catholic Church. The reason for the stained glass the statues the paintings the creeds and even the parables Jesus told was the lack of literacy.

@@CatholicTruthOfficialYou talk a lot of twaddle it because we know the catholic faith and it barbaric history. That we can speak with confidence that RCC teaches a false Gospel.

I have a question and maybe someone here will have some ideia. While ago 2 JW came to my door. I accepted their materials to read and took notes. I accepted their coming with the purpose of talking them INTO the Catholic faith. I know my Bible and I asked the Lord to help me, guide my words to them. One of them, when accompanied by other, will come and talk about their study lessons. But, I started praying for the conversion of one of them in particular. This one started coming sometimes alone(!)and, in these times, she will accuatly hear my answers and make questions and seems growing in curiosity. This happens when she comes alone. Is this a nornal thing? For one of them to come alone? I took it as a sign of hope, that i must continue. I am praying the rosary everyday now, for the conversion of every single soul that comes to my door preaching.
@anasc9970 : never underestimate the power of prayer, I've had many prayers answered over the years, one day I was in my garden and I had just completed my prayers and I was wondering do my prayers make a difference, just as soon as had thought this a white butterfly flew in a circle around my hands twice before it flew away my daughter is my witness she saw it happen
If she will respectfully bow her head while you pray a Hail Mary out loud for her, then maybe she is willing to convert. 99.9% of jehovas run like the devil when you pray a Hail Mary for them. It’s hair raising to see how quickly they get gone.
They come to your door with an agenda, and strict rules to follow. 99.9% of them want to keep to the rules so they can report back to their team leader and get points for indoctrinating you.
Lonely people fall into their traps. Catholics are not allowed to read their heretical literature nor listen to their brainwashing sessions. Be careful. Keep praying for them.
Hello, thank you so much for your reply, and sharing this story! From what it sounds like, the Holy Spirit may be touching this individual, and you may be helping to open their eyes to the fullness of truth. From my encounters with JWs they generally are in twos, so this is a good sign. Keep doing what you can, God bless you!
GOD BLESS!
Another great video Bryan,learning so much about the truth.God bless
Amén, thank you for all you do!! May God bless you, 🙏🙏🙏
I'm still struggling with the resentment I feel toward prot doctrine for having been brainwashed. I'm so thankful for people like Bryan to show me facts and the things protestantism couldn't answer.
I'm a new convert former protestant.
Thank you for what you do.
The bible says, "Freely you have received, so freely give." I have sent some of your videos to my friends. Few got back to me and said that they would like to learn more.. I don't want to convince them of anything. Let them watch the videos and decide. Yes the Truth will set them free!
From my experience, i know that God works in us in a way that we cannot understand. It is about time that all of us should share the good news with others and God will do the rest! I'm a new convert by watching your videos--so what is next? I freely give to what i have freely received. God Bless you Mr Bryan and to all of your team. I have prayed for you all--will be praying for you and will never stop!
I have asked questions of Byran that he can't answer. if they are too difficult they won't show on the main comment pages. This also happens on almost every catholic site.
@@whathappening5323what sort of a question
@@nickdon if I ask you it won't show in the comments. The barbaric History of the RCC needs to be exposed. They are not fairy stories.
Once the RCC was reinstated as the main Religion in England under Queen Mary Rein something happened to people who would not surrender to that authority
@@nickdon I posted an outline. But it didn't show on the main page. That is what I am talking about.
@@whathappening5323 what was the question you asked that Bryan can't answer.
God is listening to our prayers. He is pouring out his graces of understanding and humility on Protestants.
That means the he is ready to bring all to the one true fold.
Enough with this division, let’s all go home as one, one voice.
But I can’t imagine the pain they go through in finding out that they’ve been lied to for years. That epiphany moment must have been like a huge weight lifted off their shoulders but at the same time a righteous anger.
Because their salvation was being manipulated and messed with. Not cool!
Well done!
Of course John McArthur was the catalyst, he’s such an arrogant bigot
John MacArthur led countless souls to hell. He condemns himself by his hatred . He had no divine given right to preach. Protestantism is a heresy.
@@paulcapaccio9905 Not well known but the Orthodox were approached by the "reformers" in the 1500s about forming an alliance to defeat the Pope. After several years and hundreds of pages of correspondence, the Orthodox flatly rejected any alliance. They rightly held that the reform had altered and discarded so much of revealed truth that they could no longer be called a "Church"!
HAL - very well said. But what's ironic is that both Orthodox and Protestants share many of the same incredibly shallow and lame arguments. Both borrow from each other without really thinking it through.
@@paulcapaccio9905 - I do not know if McArthur leads souls to hell or not- that is up to God; one thing I do know is a he is a hateful and arrogant man and if I were within arms distance I cannot say for certain that I wouldn’t give him a backhand.
@@paulcapaccio9905I am a Protestant, why do you think I am going to hell?
Very true like others here. Would just listen to my pastor and since he was Catholic when he was young I thought he knew what he was talking about. Until I heard him talk about the 3 reasons he’s not Catholic. I looked up all 3 reasons myself and realized he didn’t even know what Catholics even believed. He got the Catholic understanding of salvation wrong and purgatory was way off. From there and other reasons I wanted to disprove Catholicism myself and ended up converting instead
That's amazing. I wish more people would question nonsense Protestant pastors who didn't know anything when they were catholic. I wish people would fact check some things instead of just following what others say, and they especially wish that these pastors would be honest enough to do a real research and not malign and misrepresent Catholicism. So glad God graced you though.
Hello Sir Brian, I have a question for you. Does the Sacrament of Penance forgive all mortal and venial sins, especially the forgotten ones from the past and up to the present day? This is me again. Cause I had done some mortal sins before, and I didn't tell this to my parents, but instead to the priest. I study at UST which was run by the Dominican Order here in the Philippines. Thank you ❤😊
If you have thought of mortal sins from your past, then you can confess them and they will be forgiven. When we go to confession we try to confess all of the sins that we've done, as many as we can think of including venial sins. All mortal and venial sins are forgiven in confession.

In the Anglican Church I’ve never heard anything bad said about the Catholic Church.
How refreshing! In my experience, it's usually the denominations that follow Calvin and SDAs at least online. I've only ever came across one anti-Catholic person in real life.... that I know of at any rate. 😊
Anglicans and Catholics; they have so good that unites them together especially in doctrine teachings
That’s good!
But they don't anything bad about anything in the Anglican Church....even sin!
Roman Catholic Church,” The term originates as an insult created by Anglicans who wished to refer to themselves as Catholic. They thus coined the term “Roman Catholic” to distinguish those in union with Rome from themselves and to create a sense in which they could refer to themselves as Catholics (by attempting to deprive actual Catholics to the right to the term).
Different variants of the “Roman” insult appeared at different times. The earliest form was the noun “Romanist” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which appeared in England about 1515-1525. The next to develop was the adjective “Romish” (similar to something done or believed in the Catholic Church), which appeared around 1525-1535. Next came the noun “Roman Catholic” (one belonging to the Catholic Church), which was coined around 1595-1605. Shortly thereafter came the verb “to Romanize” (to make someone a Catholic or to become a Catholic), which appeared around 1600-10. Between 1665 and 1675 we got the noun “Romanism” (the system of Catholic beliefs and practices), and finally we got a latecomer term about 1815-1825, the noun “Roman Catholicism,” a synonym for the earlier “Romanism.”
A similar complex of insults arose around “pope.” About 1515-25 the Anglicans coined the term “papist” and later its derivative “papism.” A quick follow-up, in 1520-1530, was the adjective “popish.” Next came “popery” (1525-1535), then “papistry” (1540-1550), with its later derivatives, “papistical” and “papistic.” (Source: Random House Webster’s College Dictionary, 1995 ed.)
This complex of insults is revealing as it shows the depths of animosity English Protestants had toward the Church. No other religious body (perhaps no other group at all, even national or racial) has such a complex of insults against it woven into the English language as does the Catholic Church. Even today many Protestants who have no idea what the origin of the term is cannot bring themselves to say “Catholic” without qualifying it or replacing it with an insult.🤔🤔

How can I avoid awkwardness of not receiving communion when going to Mass if I am going to listen, pray and worship as someone looking into the Catholic Church as a repenting Protestant? Sit way in the back? Tell the usher?
Yes, sitting in the back might help. Or you can go up to communion and cross your arms across your chest. That means that you don't want communion but the priest will give you a blessing instead. Many people do that. Hope that helps.
20 years ago, I converted. Best decision I EVER made. I was confused by the Protestant denominations. Being Catholic makes sense.
Glad to hear your witness, Eileen! Welcome home!
❤️👍
I use to be very anti-Catholic. Had a couple friends, one Orthodox the other Catholic, challenge me to look up what the founding fathers and Apostles actually taught. Found out I was lied to, became Catholic and never looked back. Thank God the veil of deceit has been lifted.
I think everyone here should read ‘Bearing false witness: debunking centuries of anti-Catholic history’. Written by Rodney Stark, an academic historian with a Lutheran background.
Great recommendation! Thank you so much for tuning in, God bless you!
Scholars like Kipp Davis say that Psalm 22:16 in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint was a typo and it should say, “For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me. They are like lions at my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones,” instead of “For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me. They have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.”
Is this true? What’s your stance on this and how should we take it?
That's a good question for Jimmy Akin.
@@StringofPearls55 Would he even respond?
@@Kakaragi There's a good chance he would. He works for Catholic Answers, it's a call in show and he takes questions on his podcast, Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World.
And where the basing that on? And is he the only one who thinks so or do the majority of Scholars disagree with him?
I'm doing some reading into catholiscism as I'm fed up with protestantism. It's full of contradiction, very confusing and frustrating, especially regarding their doctrine of faith alone. I find it very double standard for protestants to accuse catholics of believing in works salvation when they're the ones who say God will not save you unless you repent of your sins, submit and surrender your life to christ, count the cost and have works as evidence of your faith (which would make what they believe a retroactive works salvation by their own standards)
Amen! Go back and watch a lot of our videos. They will definitely help you to learn about catholicism. That's what we do. And if you have any questions or need any help, just let us know. God bless you.
Someone wrote that Jesus never gone in a church. But, to me, He himself consecrated the first Church (building) in history: the house where the Last Supper took place! Where the first EUCHARIST was celebrated by Jesus himself. Where the first priests in History were consecrated (the Apostles). Moreover, very quickly this house which according to tradition belonged to a relative of SAINT-MARC was transformed into a Church and still exists today and everyone can visit it. God bless you !
Jesus is in every Catholic Church, and has been in every Catholic Church, and will continue to be in every Catholic Church as He is really, truly present in the Eucharist. During the Last Supper Christ offered Himself with His own hands to the apostles! Great point though! God bless you too!
Jesus Christ established His One Only True Apostolic Catholic Church & Doctrine with His apostles, in 33AD, before His Passion. He appointed them leaders, Peter as Head, gave him His authority, power & Sacraments (The Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven). He taught and prayed for everyone to be His One True Church, receiving His Sacraments, Doctrine & Teaching or you DO NOT HAVE GOD. ALL 44,000 other Christian Churches, without Gods authority, broke away from His Church to start their own versions, like the Pharisees and Scribes did and God rebuked them for doing so.

The Evangelicals and the fundamentalists seem to be the most uninformed when it comes to the Early "Catholic" Church.
Sadly this is true, as they have divorced Christianity from its history and apostolic context. Thank you for watching, God bless you!
Please debate jeff durbin!!
We will be debunking him first on his massacre of the Early Church Fathers. It's just terrible.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial thanks. He's really a Catholic hater and sounds so convincing to many
As my kids were going through their first reconciliation classes, parents had to meet with the youth ministry leader... and we watched a video about how Catholic priests "punish themselves" after confession for the sins mentioned by their congregation... this alone turns me away from the Catholic faith. Jesus took the punishment for our sins on himself. I DON'T NEED A PRIEST TO PUNISH HIMSELF BECAUSE JESUS WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE. They also said confession was only for "serious" sins like murder and adultery... and that saying "I am not worthy that you should enter my roof but only say the word and my souls hall be healed" is good enough to receive communion. Are you kidding me? Did they not hear the sermon on the mount? Did they not understand Jesus's standard on what he deems murder and adultery? So much contradiction in Catholicism that I just cannot buy it anymore.
Thank you for your comment. Sounds like you received some very bad lessons, and things have never heard from anyone anywhere. Sorry you were misled. Confession is for all serious in, not just murder. It's also for adultery and any other Mortal sin. Or any sin at all really.
I would recommend not pacing your experience of Catholicism on one Parish which seems to be very confused, but on actual Church teaching. Sometimes there's a big difference. Just a thought.
Why would a priest "punish themselves "? What did the film say?
Venial sins are forgiven during mass, but at the beginning of mass when we confess them to Almighty God and to our brothers and sisters, not just before Communion.
If you've sinned mortality, that needs to be confessed to a priest.
As a cradle Catholic I never encountered a priest punishing. Sacrament of confession is to have a state of grace in order to have a fully communion with Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. 1 Corinthians 11:28-30 "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.
John 20:22-23 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
Romans 1:8 English Standard Version
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.
Some of it is true. Being born again is a act of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Only other one is the thief on the cross and turning to Jesus to be saved.
It's not that our brothers and sister who are non Catholic don't know. On the contrary. THEY ARE the most proficient in scripture. Sadly, they refuse to even entertain what it really means. To those coming to the Faith. Bienvenidos.
I was Baptist and converted to Roman Catholic. Now I am only Catholic. I follow the one true God and the teaching in his Holy Book. Follow the 10 commandments as given by Moses. If you have the 10 commandments wrong you are wrong about other religious beliefs.
Roman Catholic and Catholic are the same thing. There is no other catholic. There's only one Catholic Church for 2,000 years under the Pope. If you don't have Saint Peter who alone had the keys of the kingdom, then you're not really Catholic.
Thank you again, when I was given my instructions during my conversion we didn’t discuss or have things explained. I didn’t ask questions just listened and filled in things with how I had been taught.
I have a sincere question. Why do I have to wait for a class a few months from now to become Catholic? Is my soul not in danger right now? It can wait? This confused me when I called my local parish and asked to become Catholic. I would’ve thought they’d say come in and get salvation or something.
RCIA is to get to know you the teaching of the church so that after that you will embrace the whole truth and never going back. For the start watch the testimonies of very anti catholic protestants like Dr. Scott Hahn and Baptist Evangelist Steve Ray that digging deeper they discovered the true faith.
This has been the policy of Christianity since the first century. All first century Christians right after the apostles were catechumens and came into the church together. If your desire is to come into the church, and you happen to die accidentally, then that would still be accounted to you. It's called baptism of desire.
Biblical view on catholicism: Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Here's the real Biblical understanding of Catholicism for those who understand scripture as a whole.
10 Bible verses that Prove the Catholic faith: ua-cam.com/video/bMIFdiUt0q4/v-deo.html
W
Former Catholic, now a confessional Lutheran. I have no animosity towards Catholics. Nearly all my relatives remain Catholic. I have a few questions. First, Jesus gave us His body and blood for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our faith. Why withhold the blood of Christ from the faithful in disobedience of Jesus? Priests don't refrain from receiving it, why not?
Second, I've been repeatedly accused of having my own interpretation if scripture by Catholics. They tell me I need the Catholic Church to interpret and I found in the Catechism that only the magisterium and Pope can provide a definitive interpretation. Where do I find such definitive interpretations?
Thirdly, I am also repeatly told that I am not "invincibly ignorant" due to my previous Catholicism as an adult including raised in Catholic schools, and therefore despite my faith in Jesus as savior, my valid baptism in the Catholic Church, my belief in the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist along with weekly reception, that I am in grave danger of damnation unless I return to Catholicism. Why must I be Catholic to be saved.
Fourth, I watch a lot of Catholic UA-cam. Some say Pope Francis isn't really pope, some that he isn't Catholic, some say his reforms are an apostacy, some even say he is a heretic. Is there a schism in the church caused by the progressive changes occuring? Are traditional Catholics or progressive Catholics the true chuch, since unity with the Vicar of Christ is a necessity?
Fifth, if scripture alone isn't sufficient, by what standard is Sacred Tradition and pastoral care examined to assure it does no violence to God's truth and will?
You mentioned all the Catholic hating protestants, and how so many are converting. Diocese after diocese are being scaled down, closing parishes and merging parishes, why is Catholicism shrinking so quickly?
Finally just a comment. In my LCMS Lutheran congregation, I'd estimate that 1/4 were Catholics in their past just like me.
I am in the habit of praying nearly daily for the Pope and your church. You need clarity and unity badly. My fear for Catholics is they worship Christ's Church on par with or instead if Christ as savior. Jesus said He alone is the way to the Father.
May God richly bless you.

As Catholics bow to that box; isn't that Idolatry? God doesn't like in that box?
Israelites carried a box into battle and bowed to it too. Or was it the presence of God that they carried and bowed to? Same thing. Nobody bows to a box. A box is a box. We bow to Jesus.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial
They bow to that box, at MY local Catholic Church.
@@SabbatarianSundayer. that "box" is called a tabernacle. Inside it reposes the Holy Eucharist, which is Jesus - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. You'd better believe we bow down towards the _Presence_ that is _inside_ that box. We really ought to be prostrating ourselves.
Catholics bow to each other, bowing is not a sign of worship. But the box is the tabernacle where the real presence of Christ resides. Normally we would not bow to the tabernacle, we would genuflect. Bowing is done to the alter and each other as a sign of repsect.

What about Catholic blessing the gay couples?
We just put a video up tonight about that. Couples and unions cannot be blessed. That's what the church teaches. Only individuals who are seeking to follow God's Commandments and be faithful to the teachings of the church. In other words they are not living in sin and want to live a better life.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial If a gay couple comes to you for blessing, you better treat them as gay couple in its sexual sense even though they say they are just individuals. Of course a couple consists of individuals. Does that mean we should be blind?
Not good.
Out of dozens so far, haven’t met a Roman Catholic YET who is able to correctly answer the ONE question guaranteed to give that person confidence on the Day of Judgment if heartfelt as is implied in 1 John 4:17 and to save him/her from that “second death” as Revelation 21:8 puts it while an incorrect answer guarantees the polar opposite of confidence on the Day of Judgment. Instead, sadly, it will be a matter of one “shrinking back and being destroyed” as Hebrews 10:19 implies. One of the most loving things one person can do for another is to help that “another person” fly as high as possible in Jesus while giving thought to eternity at the same time: “What have you got that I haven’t got? I want that too.”
The East/West Schism of 1054 is self-explanatory. Eastern Orthodoxy ended up siding with Christianity while Western Orthodoxy sided with Roman Catholic church. I personally like how this one priest in Alaska put it once: “Yeah, but I don’t want any of that ‘Rome’ stuff.” If you ever hear the term "Protestant", it's a Roman Catholic. Run...FAST.
Meanwhile... There’s only one way to be saved, period (Mark 1:15, John 3:1-6).
(SIDE NOTE - 100% of everyone’s born of water. Just think of every mom - Odds are that it got expressed at one time or another - “We need to get to the hospital. My water just broke.”)
Jesus at Calvary is the only way anyone is ever forgiven, again, period (John 14:6, John 19:30, Galatians 2:19-21).
Because of Jesus and His substitute sacrifice at Calvary (Matthew 20:28, Mark 10:45), your forgiveness is justified and the wrath of God the Father is turned away from you. Logically, it’s followed by His resurrection which means you live because He lives (Matthew 28:6, John 14:19b, Hebrews 7:24-25). (Lest anyone forget that we are FORGIVEN through Calvary (John 19:30) but it’s His life which saves (Romans 5:10).)
(If desired, also see Acts 4:12, Galatians 3:28-29, 1 John 3:23-24 and 1 John 5:6-12 for more information.)
Forgiveness is once for all (Hebrews 10:14), and it means it’s past, present and future (John 5:24, John 10:28, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 2:13-15, 1 John 2:12, 2 Peter 1:5-9, Jude 1:24-25, etc. Only one is needed since there are no contradictions in Scripture...EVER.). There’s no need to “keep a tally” or “visit some confession booth”. That’s all above and beyond of how loved and accepted you really are and why you are told to love and forgive others in return (Romans 5:8).
People come to Jesus to be forgiven and have resurrection life, not in order to have a fat wallet, great health, cool car, nice job, big house, etc.
(That “no ability to answer” scenario is actually tragic because that’s a lot of individuals.)
As long as a person is able to identify from the heart with the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus...ONLY...that person is justified (Romans 5:10, Romans 6:5, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:19-21). Anything above and beyond that is merely some human attempting to push some “religion”, or “sin management”, or “man-plan” (see Hebrews 10:14). According to Romans 6:17-18, someone born again (or “born from above” - or “born anew” - John 3:1-6 - biblehub.com/greek/509.htm ) becomes obedient from the heart.
Fine let me tell you Orthodox add books to the bible, 73 is only gods book. But 1054 Orthodox is directly going against god's word since they do not believe in purgatory. And there is no such thing as "born again" 😂 Orthodoxy is not true since they deny the papacy. The sacarament of theirs is different compared to us 😂😂. Orthodox really deny the concept of Immaculate Conception but doesn't believe in Original Sin.
@@CatholicPerson-ld6vq Except there's no such thing as "Purgatory". No such thing as a "Last Rite" either...or a "nun"...or a "confession booth..." or a "priest"...or a "transubstantiation"...or...or...or...There's a TON of idolatry in Roman Catholicism. It's all about "tradition" and salvation by works". Meanwhile, how is one saved again! Just curious. There's not a Roman Catholic YET whose been able to answer. Seen that scenario DOZENS of times. Since there are no contradictions in Scripture...EVER, feel free to study 2 Corinthians 5:8 and Hebrews 7:13-17. Those two passages ALONE slam dunk the entirety of Roman Catholicism as both a cult AND a false religion, Biblically-speaking. You may wish to do something about that as forever's a long time.

Hello, thank you so much for your reply. This has less to do with being the majority, and more with being the correct church belief, the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church. At one point in the 4th century Arianism was ascendent, and they outnumbered trinitarian Christians. The difference is that this is the faith that Christ and the apostles taught.
@@catholictruthreplies by their fruits ye shall know them...might we draw a chart comparing yours today with what His ekklesia looked like in the first century? Poor pope Pete would not recognize what's become of His Bride...there is still ONE yes? His house not divided? Paul was a member of "the Way" which annoyed both Jews and even Romans "teaching us customs unlawful for Romans to keep"...
You claim yours is "the faith that Christ and the apostles taught"...right...is the claim...with scripture twisted to uphold the claim as pope Pete warned unstable minds would do...
what is lacking is yours producing the fruit...the works MORE similar to His and less than the worlds...more just like what He and the apostles demonstrated for our example He being the Word/Torah become flesh for our example to ready us to live as He did and where "I AM"
He demonstrated this lifestyle and NOT just allegedly teach another "whether by speech or letter" as if it was in Thesselonica where it was taught "Sabbaths are done away with...His entire calendar actually...and we're moving to the Roman one...oh and we CAN make images to bow and serve...oh and yes we CAN eat pork now"...
were this the case Thessalonica was before 50 thus this NEW tradition could have been submitted at the Acts 15 council for the New Covenant age...or even at Paul's trials for zealous Jews to accuse of Paul of his changes...and yet NOTHING
but your claim remains...all these NEW TRADITIONS...developed OUTSIDE of scripture...through councils decades and centuries later..."rather we follow Yah than men's traditions" said primary pope Pete...who warned of false teachers and wolves come to steal our inheritance already in the first century...
the poor disciples were jailed and nearly killed for merely teaching in His Name His resurrection and forgiveness of sins. You think Gamaliel would have said "just leave them alone" if they HAD been teaching what yours does today...and demontrates...
but yes yours claims authority and not just "who is the greatest" as the disciples did immediately after receiving the last supper...but "who is the ONLY one"...
but yours is the argument from silence...yours must provide evidence of His demonstrating what yours claims in the very writings you authorized...just evidence His DOING what you claim He taught or else you have Him merely teach one thing and DO another as typical hypocrites do.
Yours must evidence He changed the customs demonstrably PRIOR His sealing the new covenant at His death. Hebrews 9:16-17 confirms a testimony is begun at the time of the testator's death...not decades or centuries later...Paul confirms with the legal and civic minded Celtics that once testator is dead NO CHANGES to his will Galatians 3:15
you claim yours is the faith that Christ and the apostles taught...but let's compare shall we?
live as He lived...love as He loved...simple enough for a child to lead
@@makenoimage Certainly! By the fruits of the church we can see that this is indeed the same church founded by Christ on Saint Peter. I think Christ recognizes His bride in the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic church. Yes, the way became called "Catholic" by both Saints Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch in the 1st century/early 2nd century; both of them were direct students of Saint John the Evangelist. I am happy to answer your assertions.
1. I do claim this, do you have any evidence to refute the claim besides calumny? Calumny is a sin by the way, also known as bearing false witness.
2. The Catholic Church is the largest charitable organization in the world and has done endless good in its 2000 year long history; the church has, and continues to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, teach the ignorant, raise up the indigent, and save souls with the gospel as it has done since its founding in 33 AD. This is what Christ commanded, that we do this for the least of these.
3. Judiazing practices were done away with during the council of Jerusalem in Acts, which was the apostolic council, the mosaic law is not synonymous with the New Covenant/Fulfilled law.
5. There is only one church, which is the pillar of faith; Christ did not found a plurality of churches.
Any other points I can refute?
Jesus Christ brought about the reformation. Catholic Church is not true Christianity.
Why would Jesus bring about division and 10s of 1000s of contradictory denominations? That Bible condemns that, so the Protestant Revolt wasn't from God. Rebellion is never from God, especially sin Luther and Calvin and Zwingly all invented man-made doctrines and traditions.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial The reformation was a move of God to cleanse his church of impurities. Jesus Christ did not create the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is a pervasion of what He created. It is a mix of Christianity and other false religions. The Catholic Church has so mean man made teachings many of them anti biblical and antichrist. The reformation restored the Church back to it's biblical roots. The Protestant Churches are not perfect but are closer to God than Roman Catholicism. I think the ultimate faith of the Catholic Church is to create the one world religion at the end time. The one referred as "Mystery Babylon" in revelation. This religion is likely going to be a fusion of all religions in the world Catholicism, Apostate Protestantism and others all headed by the Catholic Church. This religion will eventually be destroyed by the Antichrist.
Let me give you an illustration. Salt is a compound. When you mixed it in water you get salt solution. Salt solution contains salt but it not the same as salt. In order to get the salt back you will carrying a separation technique called filtration and you will get the salt back.
Salt= Church founded by Christ
Salt solution= Catholic Church
Filtration= Protestant movement
Salt after filtration= Protestant Churches
The salt solution existed before the filtration process but the product of the filtration existed before the salt solution. The Catholic Church existed before the reformation but the type of Christianity that came after the reformation existed before Roman Catholicism.
I saw a video of yours defending the crusades. You make the crusades a defensive war against Muslims. The Crusades were not just about Muslims. It started as such but eventually it was used as a means to declare war and subjugate anyone against the Pope. Whether Jews, Muslims, European countries, protestants and other Christians.
What do you have to say about the fourth crusade, the northern crusades, crusades against Albigenses, Waldenses, protestants and against fellow Catholic powers who were against the Pope. The Catholic Church has killed a lot of innocent people.
Can’t understand why people think Catholic is correct when the Catholic Church has so many things that go against scripture. 1. Sabbath is the 7th Day Catholic Church changed it in the Year 336 AD to the first day SUN DAY (only God can make or change Commandments) 2. The Priest forgives sins (only God can forgive sin). Catholics claim the Pope is unable to sin, the Pope is a man so he’s capable of sin and some of the history of Popes in the past some were very bad sinners, some were pure evil. There are many very sincere Catholics but I am convinced that the Catholic religion is just wrong.
Reality check: Holy days in Israel: Friday- Islam/ Saturday- Jewish/ Sunday- Christians( Lord Jesus RESSURECTED on Sunday hence Apostles worship Him) James 5:16 Confess each other. John 20:22-23 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit: whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. Matthew 16:18-19 Lord Jesus build only one church and gave Authority to Simon/Peter to bind and loose( Church Magesterium) Romans 1:8 This is the church in Rome that is PROCLAIMED all over the world.
1. That the Adventists do not keep the sabbath. Keeping the sabbath requires the following:
(1) Doing no work. (Ex. 20:9-10)
(2) No baking or boiling. (Ex. 16:23)
(3) Bearing no burden. (Jer. 17:21-22)
(4) Offering two lambs. (Num. 28:9-10)
If they argue that these things were abolished because they are not in the ten commandments, why then do they refuse to eat pork? There is no prohibition against eating pork in the ten commandments. The doctrine of abstaining from meat today is of the devil. (1 Tim. 4:1-4)
2. That the Seventh-day Adventist Church denomination is not in the Bible.
3. That they are "deceitful workers." (2 Cor. 11:13) They conceal their identity as long as possible in their personal work, and their broadcasts and public services are presented under titles that do not reveal their true identity.
4. That Adventists assume the major premise in nearly all that they teach.
With love for their souls, I cry out, "Come out from this error!" Study the Scriptures -- prove all things!
knowing that the sabbath is nowhere commanded under the new covenant, must resort to the old. But this does them no good, affirming it is binding on Christians under the new covenant, unless they can prove that the old law is the new law or part thereof. This they make a feeble attempt to do. However, all that is necessary to refute his assumption is to prove that the old law is done away. If the old law is done away it is impossible for the affirmative to make it the authority in the new. This I intend to do at this time, and at the same time showing its location historically in the scheme of redemption.
In contending for the observance of the sabbath day of Exodus 20, Adventists overlook the significance of history which is summarized by the apostle Paul in Galatians three.
Four hundred and thirty years before the law was given at Mount Sinai, God made the promise to Abraham, "In thee shall all nations be blessed . . . He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." (Gal. 3:8, 16) At Sinai God made a covenant with the children of Israel, even the law. It was in this law that the sabbath was given or made known: "Thou camest down also upon Mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: and madest known unto them thy holy sabbath . . . by the hand of Moses thy servant." (Deut. 9:13-14) But this law "cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; . . . But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." (Gal. 3:17-25)
1. Why do NO Christians keep the Sabbath in the New Testament?
2. Why does Paul THREE times tell us that we need not keep the Sabbath?
3. Why does Hebrews tell us that the day we keep is "ANOTHER" day?
4. Why does the Bible tell us that the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant made with Israel? and then why does the Bible tell us that this covenant does not apply to Christians?
5. Why are there NO commands for Christians to keep the Sabbath in the entire Bible?
6. Why does Adventism teach that Adam kept the Sabbath, when the Bible teaches that no-one before the time of Moses knew about the Sabbath?
7. Why does the Bible say that the Sabbath is a sign for Israel, and never applies it to mankind as a whole?
8. Why does Adventism gather weekly on Saturday, when in the New Testament and in the first, second, and third centuries, Christians gathered on Sunday?
Luke 11:41 "But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.
Acts 10:15 Again a voice came to him a second time, "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."
Acts 11:9 "But a voice from heaven answered a second time, 'What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.'
Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.
Colossians 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- (NASB ©1995)
Mark 7:19 because it goeth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the draught? This he said , making all meats clean.
John 5:18 (NIV)
18 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
Hosea 2:11 will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 758 years before the Birth of Christ.
Isaiah 1:12-14King James Version (KJV) 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
It is ironic that Jesus and His disciples were harassed by the Pharisees over the Sabbath (John 5:18). Jesus spoke out against the Pharisee's merciless observance of the Sabbath (Matt 12:1-8; Luke 13:10-16). Jesus also defended Himself and His disciples on this issue by saying:
"The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; so the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath." [Mark 2:27-28; RSV]. On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them... [Acts 20:7]
It is interesting to note that St. Paul had spent a week with the community in Troas (Acts 20:6), and this is the only reported time that he celebrated the "breaking of bread" with them. Also no remarks are made later in this passage that St. Paul disapproved of their worship on Sunday. One would expect St. Paul to object to this practice, if it were rooted in paganism.
and claiming authority over it.
The Lord said the Sabbaths would cease and that’s exactly what he meant...
Bibleman, good points. Especially about why they don't really keep the Sabbath because they only keep one tenant of it and ignore all the others.
I thank God so much for being a christan and not being religious.
And we are thankful that we are christian, the original Christian that Jesus started. The Catholic christians. We're thankful that we are part of the church she started which is his body and his bride. Anyone who loves Jesus would want to be part of his body and would love his bride.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial the apostles were not catholic and Jesus was not catholic why would he of started the catholic church ? Jesus had no place to lay His head ,drove on a donkey, wore simple clothes, wanted Christians to have the faith of a child, children don’t want to have gold, silver, bronze and marble like all the catholic church’s are built with. The catholic church are not the church’s Jesus would want Christian’s to build. Waste of money, filled with pride and idolatry. Jesus is the example of humbleness and grace very different from what the catholic church is.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial Jesus was not catholic, His disciples were not catholic, why would they start a catholic religion.? Jesus was humble and asks us to have a faith like children. Children don’t want and don’t need gold, silver, bronze and marble like all the catholic church’s have. Jesus was humble he is an example to follow He had no place to lay his head, drove on a donkey wore simple close. The catholic church is everything but that. So Jesus would start a church that doesn’t represent Him ?
Well actually the Bible does say that as long as our religion is 'pure' it is good....
Not to mention other versus such as:
"Train yourself for religion.. the usefulness of religion is unlimited since it holds promise for both life now and here to come" (1Tim4:7-8)
"The mystery of our religion is very deep" (1Tim3:16)
"You must aim to be upright and religious.." (1Tim6:11)
"We must live upright and religious lives" (Titus:1:12)
We must keep religion and doctrine (1Tim 6:3)
Then why was Jesus religious?
Baptizing
Baptized
Celebrating Jewish laws and festivals
Teaching in the temple
Etc....
Luke 11:23, "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."
Also, at the Last Supper, Jesus prayed that we may be one, just as He and The Father are one. How are we to be one if we do not unite and gather?
And, the Apostles formed Churches. They didn't convert a person and leave him/her, but united them together in Churches. And, as we know, Jesus and The Apostles are the Foundation of The Church.
To believe in Jesus is to have a religion.
@@bibleman8010 If you’re going to categorize Jesus in a religion then you must follow His doctrine which the catholic church doesn’t teach.
Gal 3:27-28 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew(Roman Catholic and Orthodox) nor Greek(Protestant or not going to church at all), there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male or female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 2:1-2 And I brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2. For I determined not to know any thing among you(Mary in fake heaven with supernatural saints), except Jesus(message of Salvation and deliverance) and Him crucified (for our sins and Ressurection).
You should read the entire letter to the Galatians....it completely destroys the protestant religion.
@@wordforever117 What will you gain by dividing Christians? Christians are not people who wear church clothes on Saturday or Sunday or wear a cross around their neck everyday.
Christians are a people baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Christians are a people living with God not a particular church or denomination.
We should focus on the lost.
Do you agree?
Divided we fall.
Jews are not Catholic. Also, you are right that there is just Catholic, the only church Christ started. The other churches that make divisions (Protestants, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc) came over 15 centuries later. Man made religions that invented Christian division. Christ only has one body and Bride.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial How did christ start the Catholic Church if it was only established 130years later after the resurrection??? 🙈🙈🙈

Matthew 16:18-19
18
And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church,* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
19
l I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.* Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Isaiah 22 provides the Old Testament context that Jesus’ disciples would have understood completely as he quoted this particular passage in Matthew 16. When Jesus said to Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven,” his disciples would recognize the passage from Isaiah. They would understand that not only was Jesus calling himself the King of his kingdom, but that he was appointing Peter as his royal steward. That John in Revelation sees the ascended and glorified Christ holding the eternal keys only confirms the intention of Jesus to delegate that power to Peter-the foundation stone of his Church.
Catholic scholars are not alone in interpreting Matthew 16:17-19 as a direct quotation of Isaiah 22. Stephen Ray, in Upon This Rock, cites numerous Protestant biblical scholars who support this understanding and affirm that Jesus is delegating his authority over life and death, heaven and hell, to the founder of his Church on earth.
The second strand in the braided rope of Petrine authority is the image of steward. The steward in a royal household appears throughout the Old Testament record. The patriarch Joseph works with a steward in the palace in Egypt. King Saul has a steward, as does the prince Mephibosheth, but the most important image of steward in the Old Testament for understanding Matthew 16 is in Isaiah 22.
There the prophet foretells the fall of one royal steward and the succession of another. Shebna is being replaced by Eliakim, and the prophet says to the rejected Shebna, “I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open” (Is 22:21-22).
The true holder of the keys to the kingdom is the king himself, and in the Book of Revelation we see that the risen and glorified Christ holds the power of the keys-the power to bind and loose. John has a vision of Christ who says, “I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades” (Rv 1:18).
So the king holds the keys of the kingdom, but he delegates his power to the steward, and the keys of the kingdom are the symbol of this delegated authority. The keys not only opened all the doors, but they provided access to the store houses and financial resources of the king. In addition, the keys of the kingdom were worn on a sash that was a ceremonial badge of office. The passage from Isaiah and the customs all reveal that the role of the royal steward was an office given by the king, and that it was a successive office-the keys being handed to the next steward as a sign of the continuing delegated authority of the king himself.
I have studied this. The papacy is the Antichrist 666. Sunday sacredness the Roman Sabbath will become the mark of the beast.
You have only studied one biased side, the false SDA side. That's not study. It's not better than Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons who only study their own religions and refuse to read anything else and then think their religion is right. When everyone else knows it's not.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial no i studied the bible. Your religion is the sea beast of revelation 13. I can prove that your counterfeit Sabbath will be the mark of the beast
What In the World have u been studying? Be sincere in ur search and seriously ask god to show the ( truth ). Blessings
@@katmorales9447 studying the bible.
@@katmorales9447 I was sincere and I did ask God to show me what the mark is. It is the counterfeit roman sabbath Sunday.
All things were complete in the first Century. Jesus ended sin on the cross. And the whole sacrificial system ended with the destruction of the Temple in 70AD. Jesus gave the kingdom back to the Father. And He Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father. Believe in God's finished work for your salvation. Abraham believed God, that was his righteousness. Stop playing religion. Just believe God.
Go back and read romans. And genesis. Abraham believing God had nothing to do with salvation. It had everything to do with rescuing a lot and not taking bribes from the king. Seriously, your Protestants need to learn the Bible and stop regurgitating things without study.
You said all things were completed in the first century, and yet your Protestant religions were invented in the 16th century. So how does that figure?
This is complete and utter nonsense! You'd best slap the person who taught you this!
1 John 1:8-10
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity. IF WE SAY WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM A LIAR AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US"
Im not Protestant, you keep your religion, I will believe in God's finished work
My sin was dealt with at the Cross. You keep trying to get rid of yours with a human system.
You commit a mortal sin , and you get hit by a car and die before you get to confession, you go to Hell. What kind of foolishness believe is that?
bro, stop trying to convince yourself about the CC. repent and be born again. if you don't, you and your catholic faith will be forever in HELL.!.
You sound really ignorant.
Lol. You anti-Catholics can be so funny sometimes.
Bro, Brian is not “trying to convince”himself about anything at all. He’s excited about his catholic faith and just wants to share it with others because he knows the Catholic Church is the one built by Jesus himself and it’s the only one with the fullness of truth unlike other man made religion. Thank you for your warning of hell but that’s why the Church has always taught us to constantly repent of our sins. That’s why we have sacrament of reconciliation, to go to confession and repent and do penance for our sins. As for “be born again,” John 3:5 clearly says, “Unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” Being born again happens by water and the Holy Spirit. It happens in baptism. When Catholics are baptized we enter into the waters and die with Christ. As we rise from the waters, we’re reborn in Him. Baptism is also a sacrament that has an ongoing and eternal effect in our lives, a constant source of grace. From this well of grace we’re constantly nourished and renewed to live out the dignity we’re called to live. Easter is a time more than any when we’re called to renew our baptism and we renounce sin and profess our faith in Christ Jesus, our risen Lord. Thanks again for reminding!
I'm sorry your lost and can't be found. But Christ is here n the church will remain as Jesus said not even the gates of hell we stop it.
Repent yourself 2:1 Do you, my friend, pass judgement on others? You have no excuse at all, whoever you are. For when you judge others and then do the same things which they do, you condemn yourself. 2-3 But you, my friend, do those very things for which you pass judgement on others! Do you think you will escape God's judgement? 4-11 For God judges everyone by same standard.
