Praise God so beautiful to see when eyes are opened. I speak to so many Catholics and how i hope and pray that they will just look at the scriptures. My heart hurts to see so many not understand the truth God has so beautifully laid out for us
I was raised into Catholicism because my family and I were lost. Every time we went I felt so uncomfortable and especially the idea of making confession to a random person I don’t know who is also a sinner. By the grace of God, Jesus saved me and my parents making a confession to Jesus above and not to a random man below on earth. We got born again and our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus, hallelujah! “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” - 1 John 1:9 He then led us to a nondenominational church who teaches from the Bible. We now have a relationship with God not a man made religion. We read our bibles daily and follow Jesus. Have so much peace and hope knowing that Jesus is coming back. People need to get to know the real Jesus from the Bible who gives peace that surpasses all understanding.
A few years ago I repented to God then Prayed for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in Perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I Held him was unlike Anything I've Ever felt before - A Lifetime of Love Every Second - It brought me to Sobbing and it changed my life, Forever. I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed". A voice Spoke Clearly into my ear, "Go Visit Your Father Today.", hours before he passed. When I prayed if I could leave this world my body spoke a word Without My Permission I Never Heard Before, "Malarkey". Hours before a major surgery a Bright orb of light Passed across my face. God and Jesus ARE real! Truly Love God & Everyone! I believe Prayer, Following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming Humble, Merciful, Welcoming, Giving, Gentle, Respectful, Compassionate, Patient, Kind and Forgiving, To All.
Why do find that act of confession so terrible? Why do you feel that you are so perfect that you do not need to confess? Also of course the priest who you confess to is also a sinner because they are human. This entire message section is filled with those who have no real understanding of what Catholicism really is, where it gets it's beliefs from. The reality is that although many Catholics, including Popes, Kings, Bishops & lay people have not been very good at practising what they preach ....nor even sometimes at preaching it the 7 sacraments all date back to the original Church and the 1st Century It is protestants who have always taken things away from Christianity, including fasting & veneration of Mary rather than Catholics adding things and taking the fun out of life.
my oldest son is catholic. I got him to come to my church (baptist-of which I'm not proud to say as of late but we are a Bible believing body of Christ) & he claims the reason he doesn't like my church is all we have is a cross that Jesus isn't pictured on. I told him " because He's not on the cross anymore He arose from the death of the cross!! HE'S ALIVE!!"
Roman Catholics are misunderstanding Matthew 16:18. The confession that "Jesus is the Christ the Son of God" is the only foundational truth that Christ builds His church on. Peter’s confession is the rock. Peter's confession is the foundational truth. And this confession is shown multiple times by the NEW believers of the Christ of the New Covenant church. Also, In the New Testament it says that Satan, the chief priests, and others who murdered Christ did not want to accept this truth. 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. Disciples confessed: Matthew 14:33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Samaritans confessed: John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. centurion confessed: Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” John the Baptist confessed: John 1:34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” Nathaniel confessed: John 1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Martha confessed Martha confessed John 11:27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.” Ethiopian eunuch confessed: Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Saul confessed: Acts 9:20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. Finally, new believers who confess have accepted the God’s gift of His Son the Christ, must continue to accept the truth that the Holy Spirit is revealing to them. Thereby building on the truth. Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Mark 4:24-25 NLT Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given[a]-and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”
@@God_gave_His_Son_for_you You: The confession that "Jesus is the Christ the Son of God" is the only foundational truth that Christ builds His church on. Me: Jesus never said that. What he said was that he was renaming Simon to Cephas and immediately said that he was building his church on this cephas. And he gave only to Peter the keys to the kingdom, showing who has the authority of the king. You: Many confessed Jesus as Son of God but Scripture no where says that they were saved as this was the only condition for salvation.
@@God_gave_His_Son_for_you You: 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Me: 1 John 5: 13 I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. Is John telling us that we can have an assurance of salvation? How? Just by believing in Christ? Agreeing that he died for our sins? Is faith alone all that is required to achieve this guarantee of salvation? What does John say is required? : “I write THESE THINGS” What things? All of 1 John! 1 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves,* and the truth is not in us. 1:8 2 The way we may be sure* that we know him is to keep his commandments. 2:3 3 Whoever claims to abide in him ought to live [just] as he lived. 2:6 4 Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness. 2:9 5 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall. 2:10 6 I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one. 2:14 7 Do not love the world or the things of the world.* If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 2:14 8 Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. 2:17 9 No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. 2:23 10 If you consider that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by him. 2:29 11 Children, let no one deceive you. The person who acts in righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. 3:7 12 no one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God, nor anyone who does not love his brother. 3:10 13 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love remains in death. 3:14 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. 3:15 16 The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 3:16 17 If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? 3:17 18 Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. 3:18 19 And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us. 3:23 20 Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit that he gave us. 3:24 21 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 4:1 22 We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit. 4:6 23 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. 4:7 24 In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. 4:17 25 In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. 5:2 26 For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome 5:3 27 Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?d5:5 28 Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life. 5:10-12
@@bridgefin The conversation of Catholic vs Protestant is an erroneous discussion. The overarching matter is personal transformation by the Holy Spirit. This personal transformation leads to full submission to God through Christ (not my will but Your will be done). Personal transformation is not the result of joining any organization on earth. It is a result of responding to the revelation of God's gift of His Son. in Matthew 16:18 Christ says on this rock He will build, and that requires a foundational truth. The truth that God revealed to Peter is the foundational truth. Therefore, Peter's confession is the foundational truth of personal transformation. The truth of who Jesus is. The Son of God. The Christ of God. The GIFT of God. New believers who have accepted God’s gift of His Son the Christ, must continue to accept the truth that the Holy Spirit is revealing to them. Thereby building on the truth. Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Mark 4:24-25 NLT Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given[a]-and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.” As you accept the new truth of the HS then you become transformed. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
You can try ask them to read Catholic Bible the below verses. Thier mind, eyes and heart will be open. Joshua 1:8-9 Exodus 20:1-17 1 Corinthians 10:1-33 Wisdom 13:10-19
I try to tell my dad but he is so so deeply blind….. he tells me I don’t love Jesus, that I don’t have the fullness of truth, that I don’t love Jesus…… and that is so false. I got born again at 18 out of a Catholic household. And trying to share the Gospel with my dad but he doesn’t just not see but he chooses to not even acknowledge the Bible verses that go against the false Catholic doctrine…… it gets me so angry and makes me so sad at the same time…… I really have to dust my feet.
One of the most heartbreaking and infuriating times in my life was when I was at a Catholic funeral and the priest was there giving comforting words to those in the room. He was giving Christ glory and seemed right on. However, he immediately led those around in a prayer to Mary. I just about jumped out of my skin!
@YourSinWillFindYouOut but how did we get the word of God the Bible? Through the church, there wasn't a canonized bible until 382 ad at the council of Rome. Don't forget that until the great schism of 1054 there was only one Holy Catholic and apostolic church when Rome (the west) split from the Eastern Orthodox Church ☦️
I distinctly remember as an 8year old going to ballet class and a mum there was sharing about something difficult going on with someone. That person needed "extra prayer" and because of the need she was going straight to the "big guy" this time. I was thinking in my mind, 'why not prayer straight to God every time?' It was in that moment that I knew catholicism was false.
8 years old is too young to make a decision about such a complex issue, you need solid reasoning and research not just suspicion about throwaway lines. It happens the other way around too; The Catholic Church has the RCIA programme to support non baptized people who wish to convert.
@frankierandle8779 Almighty God through the Holy Spirit can make even a FOUR year old know Him if He chooses. There is no definite firm age on the age of accountability. Matthew 19:26. Look it up.
Revelation 22:19 “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” King James Version (KJV) new bible reader here and found this passage researching Catholic church's bc they are on First Nation reservations

It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God. . . .

@@talondavid9408 Exodus 20😎😎 Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition The Ten Commandments 20 And God spoke all these words, saying,[a] 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 “You shall have no other gods before[b] me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you. 13 “You shall not kill. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.” 18 Now when all the people perceived the thunderings and the lightnings and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled; and they stood afar off, 19 and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will hear; but let not God speak to us, lest we die.” 20 And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to prove you, and that the fear of him may be before your eyes, that you may not sin.” The Law concerning the Altar 21 And the people stood afar off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. 22 And the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven. 23 You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. 24 An altar of earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you. 25 And if you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones; for if you wield your tool upon it you profane it. 26 And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’
For example, prayers for the dead to free from Purgatory come from the Book of Macabees, so there are things that from Books included in the Catholic Cannon, but rejected in creation of the Protestant bible.
That teaching of "purgatory" is one of the many ways that Roman Catholicism does not believe that faith in Christ's perfect sacrifice is sufficient to cleanse us from all sin, and impute His perfect righteousness to us, as God's word teaches in 1 John 1:9 and Romans 4:5.
Have forwarded and typed it out. Thank you, Dr. Burnett. I am the ONLY saved one for many generations and have had to remove myself from surviving siblings and their children because of their abuse because they found out I left catholicism over 50 yrs ago (saved at Calvary Costa Mesa). They damned me with their mouths and with their writings. I didn't even go to my mom's burial because of them - I brought my WW2 catholic parents to the Lord before they passed in their 90s - they had no idea about anything in the Holy Bible. The RCR in the 60s and 70s told us that only catholics would get into Heaven and that everyone else goes to Hell and that we were to HATE Jews because they killed our Savior. NOPE. Jesus said, 'I lay down My Life. NO one takes it from Me.' It is beyond sad how blind people choose to be and many afraid if they leave the false religion that they will have no family. Well, I can attest to that: they might not. But Jesus will fill in the loss with Himself and others who follow Him, and Jesus said if anyone loves his parents, children, anyone more than Him that they are not worthy of Him. We pray for all those who do not know, follow and worship Lord Jesus Christ and who do not leave their false man-made religions. MARANATHA
You are the "only" saved one? How do YOU know who is saved and who's not saved, are YOU God? I thought God is the judge on who he saves and who he doesn't? Only God knows our hearts, NOT you. It is because you have the wrong idea about what it is to be saved, and you have fallen into the sin of presumption. So I'll make it pretty clear for you, you do NOT have your Golden ticket to heaven just Yet. But you MUST persevere till the end just as St. Paul says. Which mean you do NOT know who's saved, and who isn't. You are taking away from the mercy of Christ as well. I pray may we persevere till the end, by the Grace of God 🙏.
This is by St Justin Martyr he lived between (110-165). And this food is called among us Eucharistia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. -First Apology, 66 I'm going to listen to the man that only was two generations away from Jesus Christ and was before the compilation of the Bible. He tells us how they did the mass back in the first century. So do we listen to someone that their doctrine started in the 1500s or in the first century you can decide.
HOLY COMMUNION ================== But, “Lord, Lord, we ate and drank with you.” - Luke 13:26. Not good enough. What does Jesus want? He wants us not to eat with Him, He wants us to eat Him. “This is My Body, This is My Blood.” (Mark 14:22-23) For over two thousand years our Roman Catholic tradition has boldly proclaimed and professed and taught that Jesus Christ is truly present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at the Holy Eucharist at Mass. We call it the miracle of transubstantiation-the changing (trans) of the substance of bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Jesus. Jesus is the God - the Living Bread = John 6:50 - that came from Heaven to teach us the Way, Truth and Life to Heaven. He has been assigned all Judgement - John 5:22. Jesus declared that to have Eternal Life, one must - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - which is Real Food and Drink = John 6:53-58. Many of Jesus' disciples broke away because they could not accept this - John = 6:66 =. Because they realized that Jesus meant - Real - as evidenced by the word - Gnaw, as on a bone - which He used for - Eat. Moreover, Paul urges its - worthy - reception = 1 Cor. 11:27 = something that he would not do if it was symbolic. In fact, the earliest Christians were labelled as - cannibals - due to this fact.(NOTE - The same John also wrote the Book of Revelation and stated that the mark of the anti-Christ is number = 666 = - Rev 13:18 ) When Jesus declared = “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing, He was referring to the 2 Breads that came down from Heaven. The bread of Manna was for physical sustenance only. On the other hand, Jesus was the spiritual Bread from Heaven who came to give - eternal life - for those eating Him. And Jesus was born in Bethlehem which translates as - House of Bread. Despite this, Protestants declare this to be - symbolic - despite Jesus' disciples realizing that Jesus was talking - REAL - and that is why they broke away. That Holy Communion - Eucharist, which means Thanksgiving in Greek - is the Real Body and Blood has been confirmed by Eucharistic Miracles. Check the Internet for the 1996 Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires and the 8th Century Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy NOTE - Satanists will steal a consecrated " Catholic " Communion host for use in their diabolical " Black Masses." They will not use the hosts of near-Catholic Protestant denominations like the Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherians among others as these don't have the " Real " Presence of Jesus Below are some of the details of the research done on the still existing Communion host of the 8th Century. Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano In 1970-'71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry and Clinical Microscopy. He was assisted by Prof. Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena. The analyses were conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs. These analyses sustained the following conclusions: The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood. The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species. The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart. In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of the heart for the large thickness of the myocardium. The Flesh is a "HEART" complete in its essential structure. The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood-type: AB (Blood-type identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin). In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of the fresh normal blood. In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium. The preservation of the Flesh and of the Blood, which were left in their natural state for twelve centuries and exposed to the action of atmospheric and biological agents, remains an extraordinary phenomenon.

Humans are ONE person ( in three parts) The body, soul and spirit. Three parts, ONE person. The Bible says that we are all sinners. As it is written: There is none righteous , no not one. Romans 3:10 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6 For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word death in this verse means eternal separation from God in hell). Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18 Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:3-8 In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14 For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2 :21 Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and trust in Jesus shed blood on the cross to pay for your sins. The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
That's spot on with what the Spirit has convicted me of in the past years. I'm a hopeless sinner with only faith and trust and love in the name of Jesus!
Well I've converted from Protestant to Catholic. What made me decide to do this? It's actually very simple... the early Church Fathers i.e. the first Christians believed in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. And it stayed that way for 1500 years. They also had a special reverence for Mary, as did Martin Luther. For the first 1500 years of Christianity, the church was about tradition passed on from the Apostles as much as it was scripture. The Catholic Church compiled the Bible as well. Becoming a Catholic was the best decision I ever made. It has enabled me to experience the fullness of the Church in all it's glory. God bless you all x
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. God himself will come and live inside of us, he will never leave us or abandon us, he will always be there in anything we face in life. And specifically, Jesus tells the disciples that the Holy Spirit will teach them all things and remind them of all Jesus has said.
5:45 More misrepresentations of tge Catholic Church. It was the Catholic that created Universities and preserved writings and studied all kinds of science and philosophy. You liar.
I visited my friends Catholic Church a couple of times with her and it was the most pagan spectacle I’ve ever seen in a church. They found ways to have all the helpers bow to objects at least a good 10 times! I understand it was intended as respect but the effect was worshipping idols/things. They believe that God has entered these items. So I person bowed before mounting the steps to the alter area, walks to the wall, opens a cabinet, bows, brings the cup to the priest who bows, after the wine and watching everyone genuflecting and curtsying or bowing to the cup individually, the helper bows to the alter taking the cup back to the cupboard and bows to the cup again. They bowed to the wafers. They bowed to the Bible. And I’ll tell you the thing that I really noticed…. I’ve never seen such a miserable unhappy congregation before or since. The whole vibe was just horrible. And the priest seemed dead inside. If he was spiritually connected it didn’t show. Super sad! 😢
They are all bowing to the Holy Host, which is the Bread in the Eucharist held in the Holiest of Holies in the Tabernacle. It is the real presence of Christ within the church - within the Holiest of Holies exactly as in the day of the Jewish Temple. I've been a Protestant for most of my life and am converting to Catholicism. The bowing to the cup is bowing to the blood of Christ.......... The Catholic Visionaries describe the warnings Christ gives in that even Catholic Priests end up in Purgatory for failing to bow to the Body of Christ in the Tabernacle. Everyone knows what a statue is in Catholicism. Every Catholic knows that the Statues in the church or outside the church are made from stone or concrete, and that they aren't actually Jesus, Mary, Jospeh or the Angels. All the bowing and kneeling is done out of respect to the Body and Blood - which is the Sacrifice - as Jesus said he is sacrificing his body and blood for the salvation of man. There's nothing pagan about the Catholic church statues, altar and Tabernacle, as it was also inside the Jewish Temple. Those human statues are of 3 Jews, one is Jesus, the other a Jewish woman called Mary and her husband also a Jew called Joseph - salvation comes from the Jews. This is not paganism, so stop calling Jewishness paganism as its a great insult against the God of Israel who brought forth his son through Mary and Joseph. Bowing before the Altar, or Bible or cup or utensils as a mark of respect is because of the sacred objects. Protestantism declares there are no sacred objects in Christianity. But Jesus said in Mathew 23 that the gift is made sacred by the Altar, and the gold of the temple is made sacred by being in the temple which is sacred. Also images of the Lord are considered sacred........... It is a stark difference between me being in Protestant churches and preachers calling the Cross an Idol and people should not wear it....... Whereas for Catholics and Orthodox the cross IS a sacred object as it represents Christs sacrifice and our salvation. Then in 1 Peter 4 People would touch handkerchiefs and aprons to Pauls body and then use them to heal the sick and cast out demons. Holy relics and Holy objects have been around for 2000 years, and its impossible for Protestants to accept. And this is the problem in Protestantism, which is to NOT ACCEPT a whole lot of scripture, like Jesus calling Simon Petra/Rock and twisting it to mean something else despite Jesus qualifying what he was saying. Plus on Eunuchs or priests and the priesthood and a whole swathe of other verses and theology, and the Protestant abolition of the sacraments. Finally the ting I love the most about Catholic church is the low depressed state of everybody. At Protestant church theres a rock band and women jumping up and down making their tits bounce, and people lifting their hands and singing. Then the preacher comes out and admonishes the crowd for being depressed and needing to come to church to be revitalized, and how he gets calls and messages from church goers how they can't keep the energy of church service going in their daily lives. The preachers all the time complain about how people can't keep that energy of rock and roll church going. What you're seeing in Catholic church is called "Contrition" which is a feeling one gets when they are convicted of their sins and feel sorrow, because they need Christ to forgive them every week. Getting down on your knees at Catholic church and praying and asking for forgiveness WITH REAL CONTRITION, and not the Protestant boasting of "My sins have already been forgiven". No there's no boast that we're already saved, but contrition and repentance and the blessed hope, which is the hope of salvation. Catholics get low and down on their knees and feel sorry for their sins and pray for forgiveness. Protestants get high and jump around announcing that their sins are forgiven because they said their sins are forgiven and rarely take communion. Reminds me of Jesus story about the Jew and the tax collector praying. The Jew prayed to God and thanked him that he wasn't like the tax collector beside him. The tax collector beat his chest and didn't look up to heaven and prayed asking God to forgive him because he was a sinner. Jesus said the tax collector went home justified. You went home from Catholic church condemned because you judged and condemned the Catholic church as Pagan, when its not. You judged and condemned them for all the bowing to the body and blood of Christ - you condemned them for worshipping Christ by calling what they do as sad and pagan. Then you have the nerve to say it was the most miserable church service you've ever been to - thats the whole bloody point mate! Its about being justified and attaining salvation despite being a sinner. You'll never enter life in a Halla-loolya Cheezez jumping up and down demanding your salvation from Jesus through boasting. Salvation and justification is gained through contrition and repentance, just as Jesus explained in the story of the Jew and the tax collector.
@@stevenjohnson4283 Read your Bible. The truth is in there not what the Catholic Church says. Why the first thing you mention is Christ giving warnings about not bowing to the host...that is not in the Bible. It is something made up by men. In the Bible Jesus says the Communion was to be done in remembrance of Him not at all what the Catholic Church came up with. Christ is not in the elements. He finished the work of the cross when He died. The Catholic Church is a cult. I could go on and on. The horrible thing is you were a Protestant so you probably have read the Bible but decide to join a lie.
My brother was raised to follow Christ and to stick to his Bible. He married a Catholic and has converted to their ways. Please pray he comes back to Jesus 😢
I'm not finished with the video yet (just started) but after reading the list while listening, the most important part--being BORN AGAIN--I don't see referenced.
I do not believe you can be born again and remain in the Catholic religion. The Holy Spirit removed me from that nightmare immediately. I have been kept in my Catholic Reader's Edition Bible though for my daily bread. I was given this bible the day I planned to kill myself. It is the Word of God, but I believe you truly need to be born again, of the Spirit, to receive and understand the truth. Those who are not born again, by the grace of God, can remain in their worldly religions (Catholic, Mormon, etc.). May those who are not born again, seek and find, the Spirit of Truth and a relationship, not a religion. Church is not a building, but it has the strongest foundation.🙏❤️
That priest is bowing down before a graven image made by the hands of men, something that has no life, vitality, spirit or soul in and of itself, not from outside of itself! THAT is idolatry!
Its the same with WORSHIPING Mary and confessing to a Priest who cannot wash sin away, something only JESUS done through death. Im pretty sure Jesus was the lamb not anyone else.
bruh they dont worship Mary they venerate her. I'll wait while you look up what that word means. In the meantime here is a verse on confessing sins for you: James 5:16 - "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." It is not enough to confess your sins in a private prayer to the Lord. The reason they confess to a priest is because the priest has sworn an oath to never use those sins you have confessed against you. Something that cannot be said to be true for the everyday man. Think attorney client privilege.
My problem with the Catholics is that they call each other after this and father that. Jesus was very specific to call NO ONE father on this planet, there is only one Father and that is God. Another problem I have is the amount of their riches and lavish surroundings in their buildings, buildings, NOT churches. WE are the church and your body is the Temple. I am not judging these people but praying they find the Truth. Because if you know the Truth, the Truth will set you free. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
@@thomastessier4529 So the same Jesus who said "call no man "father" then goes on to call a man "father". Was Jesus confused? Drunk? Did he change his mind? Or do you fail to understand what Jesus meant in Matt 23:9? Paul called himself a father also. You don't understand what Jesus meamt.
It is true! However make sure you are living it and applying it to your life. It is not just a head knowledge thing. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal deeper understanding of it and help you with His power.
@@langleybeliever7789 The original languages used were Hebrew and Greek. What is also fascinating is that a number of Jewish scholars, 70 if I remember correctly, translated what we call the Old Testament into Greek for those Jewish people who didn’t read Hebrew.
Catholicism,was formed from some of the first "antichrists" (meaning "against (or instead of) Christ", 1 John 2:18-24), such as the Apostolic Fathers, the Early Church Fathers, that became a major part of the global false empire called Babylon the Great.(Rev 17:5; Note: Roman Emperor Constantine, reigned 306-337 C.E., gave the name of "catholic", which means "all-embracing; all-encompassing", to the so-called Christians at that time after 313 C.E., so that Catholicism embraced paganism liberally) W. E. Vine (1873-1949 C.E.), English Biblical scholar, theologian and writer, said about "the church" accepting pagan doctrine and practices: "By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D. (just before Catholicism became the state religion in 381 C.E.) the churches had either departed from, or had travestied (or accepted a false representation of), certain doctrines of the Christian faith (that eventually became "the Holy Trinity, hell fire, immortality of the soul, purgatory, the cross, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, being immersed in politics and still be"in God's good graces")" "In order to increase the PRESTIGE of the APOSTATE ecclesiastical system PAGANS were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to RETAIN their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was ADOPTED to stand for the cross of Christ.” (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, 1981 edition, Vol. 1, p. 256) Counterfeit Christianity, that was given the name of "Catholic" by Constantine the Great, absorbed from pagan Rome "the Trinity" (in which the Roman Trinity was Jupiter, Juno and Minerva that "formed the triad whose worship was the central cult of the Roman state", Microsoft Encarta Reference Library 2005), developed "purgatory" or "purification of souls by fire" that the Catholic theologian Augustine proposed in the 5th century C.E., which is connected with the false belief in the immortality of the soul, and pushed the false belief of "hellfire". The Catholic church, that came into existence in the 4th century C.E., created a clergy-laity class, with its priests, monks, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, Pope (or "Pontifex Maximus" or "Supreme Priest", whereby pagan Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar was the first one in 12 B.C.E. and the pope is called "the Pontif ", see Jesus words at Matt 23:8-10 of NOT having religious titles, such as Reverend, Monsignor (meaning "my lord"), Father, "Pastor", etc), because of having ABANDONED true Christianity, as the apostle John wrote at 1 John 2:18-23 concerning the "antichrist" and is Christendom (that also includes Protestantism, and which Christendom is a major part of the "great prostitute" called Babylon the Great, the false religions of the world, see Rev 17:1-5): "Young children, it is the last hour (last hour of what ? the last hour before the apostasy of the Christian congregation began in earnest when John as the last living apostle died, that Jesus foretold at Matt 13:24-26), and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even NOW many antichrists have appeared (in 98 C.E.), from which fact we know that it is the last hour (before true Christianity is almost snuffed out by "the weeds" of counterfeit Christianity, Christendom)." "They went OUT FROM US (or from true Christianity, see Acts 20:29, 30), but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us (and stayed with "the truth", John 8:31, 32). But they went OUT so that it might be shown that not all are of our sort." In the near future, when "the harvest" has ended and "the great tribulation" is about to begin (Matt 24:15-21), the counterfeit Christians of Christendom, "the weeds", will be collected together into "bundles to burn them up", while genuine Christians, "the wheat" pictured here, those who honors God (Mal 3:16-4:3) whose name is Jehovah (see Isa 12:2; 26:4, KJV), the "one faith" (Eph 4:5), are 'gathered into Jesus storehouse ' and given everlasting life while the counterfeit Christians of Christendom are destroyed.(Matt 13:30)
Mass is not a doctrine it is a practice. The Eucharist (Greek for Thanksgiving) is. Jn 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. Jn 6:47-48 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. I am that Bread of Life. Jn 6:51 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. Jn 6:53-58 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. Lk 22:19-20 Jesus took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood, which is shed for you. 1 Cor 10: 16-17 The Cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the Blood of Christ? The Bread which we break, is it not the communion of the Body of Christ? For we being many are one Bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one Bread. 1 Cor 11:23-29 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this Bread, and drink this Cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this Bread, and drink this Cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that Bread, and drink of that Cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. The doctrine of the Eucharist is indeed Biblical. Why is there any disbelief? Latin has been the official language of the church since the fourth century. Latin was signified and the preferred language for Mass in Europe after the Reformation. There are 23 Eastern Catholic Churches that did not use Latin. No one goes to hell if they celebrate Mass in Latin, and never has. Non-meat Fridays was and is (dispensation in the US) a commemoration of Jesus' death on the Cross. Fish is non-meat protein. Eating meat on Friday is a sin, not one that will put in hell. The words of Paul echo the words of Jesus that once the words of Consecration are spoken, what appears to be bread and wine is indeed Jesus; because he said so. Do you or do you not believe that "For with God nothing shall be impossible?" (Lk 1:37). Catholics believe that God does this. There is also significant proof that this is true. It is Jesus who is being adored. "Hocus pocus" is a sign of disbelief and blaspheme. To alter the words of Jesus, echoed by St. Paul, for whatever reason, is a grave misdeed. May the Lord have mercy of his soul.
If Peter did not go to Rome, why was he martyred there, crucified upside down? Why is he buried there (underneath St. Petr's Basilica), six feet from where he was buried, based on instructions passed on from the early church? Ireneaus of Lyon places Peter and Paul in Rome when Matthew wrote his Gospel to the Hebrews. "Babylon" was the code word for Rome (1 Pt 5:13). It does not matter where or not The Bible says that Peter was in Rome. It also does not chronicle any thing about the other Apostles post the Ascension. John and James are the exception. James stayed in Jerusalem and John wrote from Patmos. Based on history, archeology and witness it would be very safe to say that Peter was in Rome.@@shanequa555
@@petewiggins3562 PAUL WAS IN ROME FOR YEARS AND SALUTED MANY PEOPLE IN ROME IN MANY OF HIS LETTERS OVER THOSE YEARS - DO YOU THINK IF PETER WAS THERE, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT POSITION AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF ROME, PAUL WOULDN'T HAVE A LEAST ONCE INCLUDED HIM IN AT LEAST ONE OF HIS MANY LETTERS WHEN HE WAS GIVING SALUTATIONS TO THE BRETHERN IN ROME??? Like so many other things those scurrilous so-called "church fathers" made up and lied about centuries later, they lied about Peter too in order to give their new religio-political entity that turned into Vatican State an unquestioned authority - this is probably the most evil lie in history as it served to sabotage Christianity with evil criminals like the Borgia and DeMedici families that controlled the Vatican by selling the highest offices to the highest bidder - this is definitely something Jesus NEVER meant the church to be! Read the Book of Acts and it shows that Peter and the other 11 apostles were Temple-going, Law-abiding JEWS who simply believed that Jesus was THEIR Jewish Messiah and King. And it really wasn't until the end of his life that Peter understood that it was to PAUL that the Gospel of Grace had been given by Jesus Himself for the Church Age - (which ends at the rapture, Daniel's 70th and last week of the Jews commencing - a 7 year Tribulation period ending at Armageddon and Jesus' return when He destroys the enemies of Israel who march against her and surround her - read Zechariah chapters 12 and 13!) - illustrated when Peter writes in Second Peter 3:15 that Paul's Gospel of Grace ( Christ and Him crucified and that alone for salvation ) is indeed to be followed (even though he admits for someone steeped in Judaism his whole life) "there are within that things hard to understand", but warns of those who would twist that gospel as they do with other scripture, he added.
Whether or not Paul mentions Peter in his letters is immaterial to the historic fact that Peter taught, was martyred and is buried in Rome. After three years of ministry, Paul went to Jerusalem to visit Peter and spent fifteen days with him (Gal 1:18). He returned to Jerusalem after fourteen years to share and and insure he was preaching the proper message. Peter was among those present. Paul's list names Peter second due to James being the head of the Church in Jerusalem. In Antioch, Peter in a moment of weakness behaves improperly and Paul rightly admonishes him. This does not diminish his primacy. It is Peter who Jesus gives the keys to the Kingdom. The sign of authority which God gave to Eliakim over the House Judah by giving him the keys to house of David (Is 22:20-24). It was a great moment of grace when Simon Peter proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ, Son of the living God (Mt 16:16). Another great moment of grace occurred when Jesus challenged the Apostles after the Bread of Life discourse (Jn 6:22-59). Jesus asked if they would abandon Him as did many of those listening. Peter replied “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God”(68-69). Peter was well aware of the grace that the Lord had bestowed upon him. It was Jesus who prayed that Peter would be able to strengthen his brethren after His Passion, Death, resurrection and Ascension (Lk 22). It was Jesus who reinstated Peter as the head of the Apostles (Jn 21). It was Peter who called the assembly in Upper Room to select a replacement for Judas' abandoned bishoprick (Acts 1 KJV); the first to preach the Good News (Acts 2); performed the first Miracle in Jesus' name (Acts ), was sent to the house of Cornelius to convert and baptize the first Gentiles. "Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts" (Acts 2:46). The "breaking of the bread" within the context of an Agape meal (a form of Seder meal) to partake of the Eucharist. Paul expands on this in 1 Cor when problems arose (1 Cor 11:17-32). A good number of those "scurrilous Church Fathers" were martyred for Christ. It seems improbable that they would have died for a lie. Some of them in 393 AD finalized the canon of the New Testament. Two Borgias were popes: Callixtus III (1455-58), Alfonso de Borgia, was known for living an austere and charitable life. Alexander VI (1492-15030, Rodrigo Borgia, was less than an upstanding example of the office he held as bishop and cardinal. There is some questions about how he rose to the papacy. His reign was a mixture of good decisions and poor behavior. The Papal States were established in the eighth century when Pepin III, King of the Franks gifted Pope Stephen II the lands that became known as the Papal States. No money or favors exchanged hands. Any clergy, Catholic or Protestant, who fails to live up to his calling does damage to church he is to be serving. He much more damage to himself. And is in great need of prayer. His behavior is a reflection on him, not his church.
@@petewiggins3562 Well, it seems like you're not going to be talked out of this false religion anytime soon - I was up in Minnesota for a while this summer and listened to a EWTN program while preoccupied with a task that took months, just to delve into the finer points - horrified, just horrified at all the handed down superstitious voodoo that the radio call-ins were talking about, only to have all that mess be validated by hosts who were priest. Talking about some supposed piece of cloth called a scapular give to some monk in the 13 century by Mary in a vision (demonic apparition) saying that "whoever dies wearing that "official" scapular will not suffer hellfire" - and if that isn't bad enough, this woman who called in asked the priest about "getting more of some type of 'points' toward praying someone out of purgatory if she did it in the name of, or adhered to this scapular-associated order" - it really is all just so sickening that the simple Gospel of Grace as given to Paul by Christ Himself has turned into this religio-political bizarre bureaucracy endorsing two millenia of pure superstitious bunk. Of course, the fruit of it has always been rotten, but even recently with the syncretism and ecumenism of John Paul II having invited all those heathen religious leaders and witches to Assissi to place their idols on that Catholic altar there, and of course we see this present pope Francis inching closer to embracing the sodomite abomination. There is a reason that for more than a hundreds years, all those great Catholic cathedrals in Europe are just basically dead museums now, there's a reason that Catholicism is so well insinuated with vile Marxist Liberation theology and evil santeria, there's a reason why everywhere that religion predominates the people are held back, socio-economically depressed and unstable as compared to the northwestern European Sola scriptura faith alone Gospel of Grace that eventually conquered the world with the British Empire and found the greatest force for mission work and liberty EVER, the USA. If you refuse to come to the Truth and stick with that false religion, sadly you will only see it become more apostate and join forces with this last globalist evil empire of man - as it already does with so-called global warming, "social justice" and a whole other array of leftist globalist antichrist causes. Hopefully, you'll be able to get out of it before it's too late.
Can I ask you a question? I am not a catholic. I am a non denominational Christian, who is saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I watch the Catholic exorcists on the armor of god channel on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from them. I am a person who was possessed by a demon and saved by Jesus, only lasted for minutes. It’s a long story. Since I have listened to the exorcists, I have learned a lot about Catholics and have learned to except them. I don’t know much about Catholics other then what I hear from the exorcists. Is it all catholic priests or just Roman Catholics?
Nobody is saved by Christ's blood. Evangelical Protestantism is just as unbiblical as Catholicism. Rom. 5:10 says that it is Christ's _life_ that saves, not His blood. Christ's blood can only reconcile a person to God.
Even Roman Catholicism didn't believe that until 1215 AD. Check your fake church's history. You should actually watch, and pay attention to the above video.
Honest question, just trying to learn, but i always thought it was out of reverence.....there was a time many years ago when i didn't feel right in the RCC, and have since left but, my family is devoted, going back many many generations on both sides, and sometime i question if i made the right choice to leave. I thought when we took the bread and drank the wine it was in remembrance of him, Our Lord and the sacrifice he made for us all. There is soooo much i do not agree with the RCC and all the changes made, but can anyone help enlighten me on this?
Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will 😂😂 raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh? Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him." Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise? Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13. Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people. Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"? The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood. See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism. Is this what you think too? At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood. In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things. Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life." Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view? See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding. In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I. Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood. Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.
1 Corinthians 11 :20-34👍👍 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come. The Sacrifice of God is past, present and future! It is eternal because it is outside of space and time. The sacrifice by Christ dying and suffering was done in space and time 2000 years ago, when Christ (God) chose to became man (incarnate), this is when He went inside space and time. The holy sacrifice of the Mass is a "sacrifice" being presented to us again on a daily basis, and this sacrifice is outside space and time in a mystical and spiritual way because God is not limited in space and time, EVERYTHING TO HIM is an eternal event, and this is the only sacrifice pleasing to God The Father. Why do you think St. Paul was instructing the Corinthians about The Eucharist if it is not an eternal sacrifice or just a mere "symbol". (1 Corinthians 11:27), Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. - And this was after Christ's Ascension. Here is what Saint Ignatius said regarding: Transubstantiation- "They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes."(Letter to the Smymaeans Chapter VII) The Bodily ressurrection of Christ- "For I know that after His [Christ's] ressurrection also He was still posessed of flesh, and I believe that he is so now [Keep in mind that he is writing years AFTER Jesus ascended to Heaven]. (Letter to the Smyrnaeans Chapter III) Regarding Christ's Deity- "Ye have done well in recieving Philo and RheusAgathopus as servants of Christ our God, who have followed me for the sake of God, and who give thanks to the Lord in your behalf, because you in every way have refreshed them." (Letter to the Smyrnaeans Chapter X) Please don't say that this man wasn't inspired, or that this man was not in harmoney with the Bible. This man was a personal friend of Saint Peter, and studied Christ under Saint John. He wrote these letters on his way to Rome where he was EATEN BY LIONS. Saint Ignatius was the Second (or third) Bishop of Antioch, the First place where Christians were called Christians. Saint Ignatius knew what the Apostles knew about Jesus, and his works come from the same time period as the Books of the Bible. When a First Century Christian believes this, why don’t you, and why do you refer to these Martyrs as your First Century Christian Brothers Paul wrote to the Corinthians: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" (1 Cor. 10:16). So when we receive Communion, we actually participate in the body and blood of Christ, not just eat symbols of them. Paul also said, "Therefore whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. . . . For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself" (1 Cor. 11:27, 29). "To answer for the body and blood" of someone meant to be guilty of a crime as serious as homicide. How could eating mere bread and wine "unworthily" be so serious? Paul’s comment makes sense only if the bread and wine became the real body and blood of Christ.
I am a Catholic, and My Lord and Savior makes himself know to me. I cry and tremble at his loving presence ,and as a Catholic I confess to FATHER GOD daily as the HOLY SPIRIT convicts me of sin. As a Catholic we only have to confess in a confessional once a year either during lent or advent, it has been proven of all Christian churches the Catholic church as the least suicides due to the confessional
Alot of people myself included always seem to overlook the Eastern Orthodox Church and that the RCC isn't the only church that can lay claim to being the original church, as they both were one for the 1st 1000 years until the great schism of 1054, Also I did the sinners prayer with all my faith and heart, but honestly after a while I started falling away again and that is what made me question the 5 Solas...so since I was "Saved" am I really always "Saved"?
They weren't the only church. That is what they teach. The Catholic church didn't even come into existence until the time of the emperor Constantine in the 300s a.d. Constantine converted to Christianity and then made Christianity the church of the state...a state Church...the Roman Catholic Church. He had pagan temples and priests converted to "Christian" churches. They incorporated their pagan religion in with the Christian beliefs.
A very good resource are the works of a former Jesuit Priest named Peter J. Doeswyck. His books are out of print and can be tough to come by, but they're worth tracking down; he gives a very scholarly but accessible treatment of the history and ever changing doctrines of the church of Rome, and how they differ from Biblical truths.
@@tessag.1079 That Constantine crap is a lie. If you disagree then show me the edict by which Constantine started a Church. The idea is laughable and contrary to all we know from history. All Constantine did was to stop killing us. You: He had pagan temples and priests converted to "Christian" churches. Me: Just like Paul did in Athens with the temple to the "unknown god".
The Greek Orthodox Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Assyrian Church of the East, all celebrated Mass, they called it Divine Liturgy, Qurbana Qaddisha, or Badarak, they may use leavened bread or unleavened bread, but they all did the Sacrifice. Do you think they are all wrong?
What is the purpose of doing (or attempting to do) what was done 2,000 years ago? A sacrifice that was physically done on the cross...an actual death...and an actual resurrection, which means that God the Father accepted that perfect sacrifice. Why would we need to re-perform that sacrifice? Jesus asked us to "remember" Him by the act of communion. I don't recall Him asking for us to re-sacrifice Him.
@@spacecoastz4026 This is your Protestant thinking to interpret the Bible. Assuming the Roman Catholic Church is wrong. Why do the Greek Orthodox Church, Russian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Serbian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Coptic Orthodox Church, Syrian Orthodox Church, Indian Orthodox Church, Assyrian Church of the East do the same Sacrifice over and over? You can go to these Churches and make appointments with the priest to ask them: “Hey man, Christ’s Sacrifice is finished. What are you doing here? Go home and eat hamburgers.” By the way, the Lutheran Church, the Anglican Church also do this Sacrifice. Do you think they are wrong too?
Jesus sacrificed himself on our behalf, then stated for all time "It is finished." That's why he is not on our crosses. He's alive! He's seated at the Father's right hand 👑. Hallelujah 🙌
I’m not catholic but! “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 NIV
@@spacecoastz4026 > __________________________________________________________________________ 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. __________________________________________________________________________ You don't understand scripture. The communion is the sacrifice Jesus made. Jesus is the bread that came down from heaven, and eating that bread will give you eternal life. Read the following verses in John and understand the communion ______________________________________________________________ John6:32-58 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty. 36 But I said to you that you have indeed seen Me, and yet you do not believe. 37 Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.” Words to the Jews 41 So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.” 42 And they were saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop complaining among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world also is My flesh.” 52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread will live forever.” _________________________________________________________ No one is attempting to re-sacrifice Jesus in the Catholic church. Jesus taught repeatedly in the verse above that you need to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. It is done by consecrating the bread in wine on the altar of God in the Catholic church. Jesus did not only say "Do this in remembrance of me". This bread and wine is supposed to be more than a symbolic communion, as it is also a spiritual communion - Jesus is the head and the church is the body. Communion is to share in Christs body. Many Protestant preachers like to make the claim that they preach Christ Crucified in the Catholic church, and so they want to preach Christ risen in the Protestant church....... But the Bible teaches to preach Christ Crucified, and also Preach Christ risen. Because you cannot only preach Christ is risen, because Christ needed to suffer to make the sacrifice, and to be risen in the end. The communion is also called the Sacrifice in the Catholic church, because John 6:51 Jesus is saying this bread is also his flesh that he is giving up (as a sacrifice). The bread of life - which is Jesus - is also the sacrifice, as Jesus himself describes in the above verses. Protestantism has it completely wrong and watered down and basically abolished all of the sacraments as unnecessary for salvation. Yet Jesus clearly and succinctly and repeatedly explains how taking communion is an integral part of salvation in John 6. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To understand Jesus sacrifice you need to also look at the occult practices of the day. They were ritually sacrificing humans for the atonement for their own sins. God seperated the Hebrews from this practice giving them the law to only sacrifice animals and vegetables for the atonement for sins. Until Jesus comes along and by his sacrifice - God sacrificing himself for us - as the atonement for our sins............... This act flipped the occult on its head, and saw the steady collapse of occultism across the world. Ritual human sacrifice was rampant across the world at the time. Occultism used two gods, Baal as the god they sacrificed humans to, and ate their bodies, and drank their blood too. The second god was a female goddess for fertility and promiscuity like Ishtar/Libertas/Dianna which gave women liberty to be sexually promiscuous............. Whereas as Mary replaces the the prostitute goddess Ishatar/Libertas/Isis and give women a place as long suffering dutiful servants. Protestantism has undone this to make Protestant women more sexually promiscuous. Mary is regarded as worthless in Protestantism. Catholicism has Mary as an integral part of the story of salvation, and is an example of faithful service to God for women to follow. Protestantism rejects those notions and why Protestant women are the most whorish Christian women today.
Question! Currently listening to the Hallow app’s Bible in a year. All in all the audio is good and provides in-depth explanations at the end of each chapter. They recently talked about the transubstantiation and one of their defenses for it was if it was breaking the 1st commandment then why wouldn’t god have corrected them after all these years especially when they were the leaders in spreading christianity for the first 1500 years. Thought it was an interesting defense curious what others think?
I think father Mike is right. How can you say Jesus is wrong and going against the first commandment. Soo are you going to listen to man or Jesus? Jesus said he is the bread of life and actually broke bread and fed them. I am a Catholic so I definitely am biased. There have been so many Eucharistic miracles proving that this is the body and blood soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. I highly recommend looking into them, others. Plenty of UA-cam videos just to prove that this is Jesus Christ. I hope you look into them and have an even great intimacy with Jesus Christ. God bless you.
@@chancebreeding9464 it’s been some time since I posted this, giving me more time to read Gods word and gain clarity. And I agree with your question/statement. And to answer it God does correct us but do to freewill we can still fall into believing lies despite God sending us teaches to correct us. 🙏
According to Catholics, only membership in the Catholic faith can save a person. It's disheartening to realize that they worship their church. Church and Mary. And the Jesus they adore is either in the form of the wafer, or an image of His brutal death or a feminized image of Him, where He just looks like Mary with a beard.
@@dominicpereira6006 got a url? Google returned nothing of relevance, could be my algorithm shoehorning results. I was looking forward to some comedy, as I find most of Catholicism to be as laughable as Mormonism. Makes sense though, they’re both a lame rebranding of Babel.

All the Glory belongs to God!

Lamentations 5:7 Our fathers have sinned; they are no more, and we ourselves bear the weight of their crimes. 4:18 Our enemies eyed our steps and barricaded our squares. Our end was near, our days were done. 5:2 Our inheritance has passed to aliens, our homes to barbarians. Romans 8:28 We know that by turning everything to their good God co-operates with all those who love him, with all those that he has, called according to his purpose. Praise the Lord!
I'm Glad I Don't Follow Cathology (catholic religion) Anymore, I did in my younger days until I Learned the Truth And I'm Glad I Did, IN JESUS NAME AMEN I Pray For Others to Wake Up Too,
The true presence teaching came from the apostles. Hard for me to believe they got it wrong or take an argument from the middle ages 1000 years after the teaching.
@@kicnbac Every Catholic doctrine is in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture. That is because the Church and Scripture come from the same Font- Jesus Christ. Protestants reject Church doctrines because the particular word of the doctrine is not in Scripture. So by their logic then you would reject the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity! As for the particular doctrines, as we can see following, they are in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture: Scripture and Tradition “I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” (1 Cor. 11:2).“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)“You, then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:20-21). Apostolic Succession St Paul refers to his own Apostolic Succession and the next 3 Generations of that succession: “You(1st), then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men (2nd) who will be able to teach others (3rd) also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).All Christians are commanded to obey apostolic succession by St Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:2 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15. For biblical corroboration look at Acts 1:21-26, where you’ll see the apostles, immediately after Jesus’ Ascension, acting swiftly to replace the position left vacant by Judas’s suicide. They prayed for guidance, asking God to show them which candidate was “chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away.” After choosing Matthias they laid hands on him to confer apostolic authority. Look at 1 Timothy 1:6 and 4:14, where Paul reminds Timothy that the office of bishop had been conferred on him through the laying on of hands. Notice in 1 Timothy 5:22 that Paul advises Timothy not to be hasty in handing on this succession of authority to others. In Titus Paul describes the apostolic authority Titus had received and urges him to act decisively in this leadership role. Faith and Works in response to free saving Grace “‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’” (Matt. 7:21).“For he will render every man according to his works . . .” (Rom. 2:6-8).“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified” (Rom. 2:13).“What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?” (Jas. 2:14).“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead” (Jas. 2:17).“But some one will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. . . . Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? (Jas. 2:18-20).“You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (Jas. 2:24). Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist “‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’” (John 6:47-55).“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).“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” (1 Cor. 11:27). The Papacy “And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter . . .” (Matt. 10:1-2).“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven’” (Matt. 16:18-19).“‘Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren’” (Luke 22:31-32).“When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17). Purgatorial Cleansing “Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny” (Matt. 5:25-26).“Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:13-15).“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . .” (1 Peter 3:18-20).“But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . .” (Rev. 21:27).“For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin” (2 Macc. 12:44-45). Honor Due to the Virgin Mary “And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’” (Luke 1:41-43).“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name’” (Luke 1:46-49). The Prayers of the Saints in Heaven “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely . . .” (Heb. 12:1).“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8).

Isaiah 11:11 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea. Isaiah 24:15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord; in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. Isaiah 49:1 Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Matthew 12:18-21 Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory; and in his name the Gentiles will hope.
All of us sinners need to realize that only through Jesus do we see the father. Eating a wafer means nothing so why get mad? So many others are way more lost

@@bibleman8010 Jesus was NOT talking about literally eating His flesh and drinking His blood - He was talking about picking up our cross and following HIM COMPLETELY. Jesus does NOT DIE AGAIN every time you attend one of your ritual masses. It is really sad how you keep twisting God's Words to fit into your man-made babylonian false religion.
@@uscgmom9796 really now he never mentioned the cross"there isn't anything about the "real presence" of Christ in the Last Supper" - you claim that it is simply a memorial? 😆😆 In the greek translation of the Old testament, in (Leviticus 24:7) & (Numbers 10:10) , the same greek word is used as in (Luke 22:19 & 1 Corinthians 11:24-25) for "remembrance" (anamnésis). And it doesn't simply mean to remember; it refers to the memorial offering of sacrifice, a memorial offering to God. (Leviticus 24:7) "And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD." (Numbers 10:10) "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God." And according to Jesus in Luke 22:19-20, the bread that is now become his body (his real PRESENCE) and the wine that is now become His blood is to be a memorial sacrificial meal for the New Covenant for the forgiveness sins. Matthew 26:26-28: Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant,which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" Remember the two disciples"On the road to Emmaus'? The two disciples saw Christ literally, yet they did not recognize Him since Christ appeared under a different form (hint, hint) - and it wasn't until Christ took bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to them that [their eyes were opened] [and they recognized him]! Then in [Luke 24:35] it says they told the story of how they [recognized Jesus] [WHEN] [HE BROKE THE BREAD]. (NOTE: the same word for "breaking of the bread" in Luke 24:35 (when they recognized Jesus) is the same word used in Acts 2:24). In John 6 Jesus said, ""Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me."
Those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. There will be saved people from every denomination, and damned people from every denomination. Don't judge. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Very true. But the Blessed Sacraments are a huge gift to us to help us through the spiritual battle which is life. I find it so sad that so many Christians just don't know what they're missing. God bless them.
You're confusing the words 'judgment' and 'correction'. Two separate issues. 2nd Timothy 3:16 the Holy Spirit had Apostle Paul write: 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. So we followers of Lord Jesus Christ are showing you God's correct discernment from the Holy Spirit, not shoving a plank into lost religious-following people's eyes.
They are only trying to help you see the light. Actually read the Bible and compare what is in there with what the Catholic Church teaches. There are so many man made rules. The more I learn about the Catholic Church the more horrified I am by the apostasy.
All i know was i have to pray Holy Rosary everyday and so if I’ll do rosary and pray to Mary always, Jesus will hear my prayers. And if my prayers will be answered, i will go back to Marys statue to give gratitude by paying a lightning candle, pray and thank to it for answering my prayers. As well as many saints that in prayed if i lost something. I was born and raised this way, superstitions, ritual mass and traditions and pray to 150 or more of Mary statues. I am so glad that i knew the truth before it was too late for me. I was like ả criminal in the eyes of my family for converting into born again Christian but knowing the Way, the Truth and the Life and that all, make my sleep and life peaceful. It took 41 yrs of being stubborn and hard life and darken heart to woke up. I’m so thankful God the Father draws me back to Him and so I accepted Lord Jesus as my personal saviour. Not the statue of Him and statue of many Saints and all types of Marys but of Jesus alone.
In summary: the Rosary is 65% directly to Jesus and about him. It is 35% honouring and requesting prayers from Mary, his Mother. 88% of the Rosary is directly from the Bible, 12% is from the wisdom of early Christians. There are two layers, the meditation layer and the physical layer. The Meditation Layer Each decade of the Rosary focuses on a section of Scripture as a meditation. These are called the mysteries. Out of 20 meditation decades (5 are done each day) 18 of them follow Jesus through the Bible and two are related to Mary (Assumption and Coronation). Meditations are 20 Mysteries: 18 Excerpts from the Bible (0.9) + 1 Based on the Bible (Coronation) (0.05) + 1 From the catholic tradition (Assumption) (0.05). That is: Jesus 90% Mary 10% (95% is right out of the Bible) he Physical Layer The Rosary starts with the Apostles Creed which is accepted in most denominations. It is 15 lines long, all of them scriptural. The “Our Father” is repeated before each decade (6 times). It is approximately 11 lines of text (in most Bibles). That is 36 lines of “Jesus” text. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. (Said after each decade)” is said 6 times, This is 4 lines long for a total of 24 lines O my Jesus, forgive us of our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls into heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. (Said after each decade)” This is said 5 times and is four lines long for 20 Lines. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. (Luke 1:28) Blessed art thou among women (Luke 1:41-42a ,Luke 1:48) , Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus (Luke 1:42b) Holy Mary, Mother of God (Luke 1:43) Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen The “Hail Mary” is 5 lines long but besides being mostly direct Scripture, line 3 is specifically about Jesus. The Hail Mary is said 53 times. Here’s the math. 15 lines of the Creed + 36 lines of the Our Father + 24 lines of the Glory be + 20 lines of the “Oh my Jesus”+ 53 x 1 line addressed to Jesus in the Hail Mary = 148 lines "to Jesus" 53 Hail Maries x 4 lines addressed to Mary = 212 lines "to Mary" (106 excerpts from the Bible. All of them -212- based on it) 36 lines from Our Father + 106 from Hail Mary + = 142 excerpts from the Bible (almost a copy of the passages) 15 lines from the Creed + 36 from Our Father + 212 from Hail Mary + 24 from Glory be (Fil. 4,20) = 287 lines based on the Scripture. By doing the Rosary in the physical layer we pray: 148 lines "to Jesus" + 212 lines "to Mary"= 360 in total 212/360=0.59 Thus, 59% of the physical layer is requesting of prayer and honouring addressed to Mary. (29% of them are strictly excerpts from the Bible 106/360=0.29) 148/360=0.41 Thus, 41% of the physical layer is addressed to Jesus directly. (10% of them are strictly excerpts from the Bible 36/360=0.1) 142/360=0.39. Thus, the all physical layer is configured by 39% of prayers which are excerpts from the Bible. 287/360=0.80 Thus, the all physical layer is configured by 80% of Bible based prayers. The physical layer is, in summary: 41% Jesus (10% Bible Text) and 59% Mary (29% Bible Text) 39% Textual excerpts from the Bible 80% of Bible based prayers
You don’t need R. Beads to pray, just get down on your knees and pray to God the Father, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit will help you. Hail Mary is blasphemy.
Every Catholic doctrine is in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture. That is because the Church and Scripture come from the same Font- Jesus Christ. Protestants reject Church doctrines because the particular word of the doctrine is not in Scripture. So by their logic then you would reject the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity! As for the particular doctrines, as we can see following, they are in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture: Scripture and Tradition “I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” (1 Cor. 11:2).“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)“You, then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:20-21). Apostolic Succession St Paul refers to his own Apostolic Succession and the next 3 Generations of that succession: “You(1st), then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men (2nd) who will be able to teach others (3rd) also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).All Christians are commanded to obey apostolic succession by St Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:2 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15. For biblical corroboration look at Acts 1:21-26, where you’ll see the apostles, immediately after Jesus’ Ascension, acting swiftly to replace the position left vacant by Judas’s suicide. They prayed for guidance, asking God to show them which candidate was “chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away.” After choosing Matthias they laid hands on him to confer apostolic authority. Look at 1 Timothy 1:6 and 4:14, where Paul reminds Timothy that the office of bishop had been conferred on him through the laying on of hands. Notice in 1 Timothy 5:22 that Paul advises Timothy not to be hasty in handing on this succession of authority to others. In Titus Paul describes the apostolic authority Titus had received and urges him to act decisively in this leadership role. Faith and Works in response to free saving Grace “‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’” (Matt. 7:21).“For he will render every man according to his works . . .” (Rom. 2:6-8).“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified” (Rom. 2:13).“What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?” (Jas. 2:14).“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead” (Jas. 2:17).“But some one will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. . . . Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? (Jas. 2:18-20).“You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (Jas. 2:24). Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist “‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’” (John 6:47-55).“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).“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” (1 Cor. 11:27). The Papacy “And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter . . .” (Matt. 10:1-2).“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven’” (Matt. 16:18-19).“‘Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren’” (Luke 22:31-32).“When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17). Purgatorial Cleansing “Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny” (Matt. 5:25-26).“Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:13-15).“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . .” (1 Peter 3:18-20).“But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . .” (Rev. 21:27).“For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin” (2 Macc. 12:44-45). Honor Due to the Virgin Mary “And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’” (Luke 1:41-43).“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name’” (Luke 1:46-49). The Prayers of the Saints in Heaven “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely . . .” (Heb. 12:1).“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8).
Incredibly well put together, brother! Irrefutable when you put it all together like that. Still, there are none so blind as those who will not see.. God bless.
I see from what ‘dougy’ wrote - Mary said, my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Which means that Mary also was a sinner as she needed a saviour. The only one sinless was Jesus.
@@judithpapau1367 Dougy gives you irrefutable points, well layed out and easy to understand. And those few lines are your answer? You must be nearly Catholic yourself 😉
To reach Catholics- (or ANYONE) with the Gospel, include scripture about salvation, sin, the necessity of being Born Again and Jesus deity, death and resurrection. John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-" 1 Cor. 15:2-4 "By this gospel you are SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of FIRST IMPORTANCE: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...." BELIEVE the Good News (Jesus has paid it all), REPENT of sin, RECEIVE Jesus as Savior and His Perfect Righteousness as a GIFT (not MY good works, church, sincerity....) then be Baptized!
Guess Catholics Never herd about being born again 😜😜 The Council of Trent declared: “ . . . if they [men] were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just . . He laid down the conditions of salvation thus: "He that believeth and is baptized," said the Son of the Living God, "shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned" (Luke 16:16). Here, then, Our Blessed Lord laid down the two conditions of salvation: Faith and Baptism. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned - or is damned Catholics not Born again Justin who died for his faith said in 151 A.D. “As many as are persuaded and believe that what we [Christians] teach and say is true . . . are brought by us where there is water and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated. For, in the name of God the Father . . . and of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit [Matt. 28:19], they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said,‘Unless you are born again, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:3]” (First Apology 61). Around 190 A.D., Irenaeus, the bishop of Lyons, wrote, “And [Naaman] dipped himself . . . seven times in the Jordan’ [2 Kgs. 5:14]. It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but [this served] as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as newborn babes, even as the Lord has declared: ‘Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5]” (Fragment 34). In the year 252 A.D., Cyprian, the bishop of Carthage, said that when those becoming Christians “receive also the baptism of the Church . . . then finally can they be fully sanctified and be the sons of God . . . since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God’ [John 3:5]” (Letters 71[72]:1). Augustine wrote, “From the time he [Jesus] said, ‘Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5], and again, ‘He that loses his life for my sake shall find it’ [Matt. 10:39], no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ or death for Christ” (On the Soul and Its Origin 1:10 [A.D. 419]). Augustine also taught, “It is this one Spirit who makes it possible for an infant to be regenerated . . . when that infant is brought to baptism; and it is through this one Spirit that the infant so presented is reborn. For it is not written, ‘Unless a man be born again by the will of his parents’ or ‘by the faith of those presenting him or ministering to him,’ but, ‘Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit’ [John 3:5]. The water, therefore, manifesting exteriorly the sacrament of grace, and the Spirit effecting interiorly the benefit of grace, both regenerate in one Christ that man who was generated in Adam” (Letters 98:2 [A.D. 408]).
The Apostle's Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.😁😁
Pray for my dad, his name is Paul…… he is so extremely blind. And his eyes won’t open! I show him scripture after scripture and he WILL NOT accept the Bible or believe it. He just says the Catholic Church is the church Jesus started and all this other crap…..it angers me so much and causes me so much pain as well…… I just have to accept that he may never see. But I know time is coming to an end. We are in the end days…..
@@bridgefin I truly hope you come to the Lord Jesus if you do not know him and give him your life and enjoy his love and truth 😊😁❤️🙏🏼 he changed my heart, I still struggle at times as any human but the Lords love and grace and mercy is more than enough. Come to Jesus friend 😊❤️
@@Forgiven.Man.of.GOD. Your dad in Jesus' church. He is following the truth while you follow men. You need his prayers. You don't even realize what compromises you have made. Assuming that you were once Catholic, you no longer have Jesus in the Eucharist. Your faith system would be rejected by the early church as heretical.
@@bridgefin I was once Catholic, and I am so thankful to have left that demonic institute. It’s a doctrine of demons friend and is sending millions to hell…. My father has had no spiritual change or growth, if anything it seems the more he dives into Catholicism, the more angry, hatred and prideful he’s becoming….. pretty opposite of what Jesus said will happen when the Holy Spirit indwells a person. Anyways, you’re allowed to think of me as you wish and I take no offense at it or feel no need to debate. I believe it would be fruitless…. I would be arguing a work the Holy Spirit did inside of me and how much he changed me from depression and anxiety and a complete spirit of fear, to boldness and love and joy. You could never see that…. Unless the Lord opens your eyes. I can’t show that. Because you didn’t know me before the Holy Spirit changed me and has indwelled me.. I’m called to share the Gospel with the Lost and that’s what I’ll continue to do, it’s the Lords job to change the heart… I love you and I truly hope you can come out of that great whore the Catholic Church. It’s demonic and will send you to hell…. I mean that with all concern for your soul…. Read the Gospel of John and ask the Lord to show you himself cause he will….. much love friend and prayers 😊🙏🏼❤️👊🏼
Your a liar. The faith is that the priest is symbolic of Jesus. The wafer is sybolic of the bread. It's a reconstruction of the last supper. Jesus said do this in memory of me. And so we do as commanded. I checked everything about the Church. It's a biblical institution. You really want to know the facts read the Catechism of the Catholic Church To be sure you may just be a convert. GODS PEACE be with you always.
If you ever want to know which Catholics do NOT read the Bible (KJB or any of the plethora of versions and perversions) look at them walking in to attend mass. There’s a reason the Catholic Church burned translators of the Bible alive at the stake. They knew when people could read for themselves, the gig would be up. As further verified in what Doc quoted from their rule book. Believe what we tell you to believe or else. The only one with the authority to do this is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Isaiah wrote that hell enlarges itself every day. We should be praying that the Lord opens the eyes of more that follow these lies into hell, that they would come to know the truth, that Jesus Himself is the only way to salvation, by the power of God, through the drawing by conviction of sin of the Holy Spirit. In Acts, when Peter preached, it states the men were pricked in their heart; that was the Holy Spirit revealing they were lost; so they cried out what to do. And Peter told them to believe on Christ. And those that did became a child of God. Catholics don’t want people to know this simple truth.
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Hebrews 10:26-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.🤢🤢
@@eddyvos2628 Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh? Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him." Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise? Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13. Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people. Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"? The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood. See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism. Is this what you think too? At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood. In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things. Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life." Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view? See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding. In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I. Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood. Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.😒😒
I would ask you do you think the apostle John knew his stuff, I like to think he did...and if he did, why did he teach his students Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch that Christ's body is truly present in the Eucharist, and that it is truly the flesh and blood of the savior Jesus Christ?
I know this is old, but let me slap down just his first point: Christ himself said that the days of his return would be: "LIKE UNTO the days of Noah...". That tells us that Jesus could COMPARE things and explain that comparison to others. What did Jesus Christ say to his Apostles at the Last Supper? Did he say "Drink of this wine, for it is like unto my blood, and eat of this bread for it is like unto my flesh."? NO, NOTHING REMOTELY LIKE THAT! Christ said(MATT26) "26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; THIS IS MY BODY.” 27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 THIS IS MY BLOOD of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. No need to argue with me. I am neither a Theologian nor a Bible Scholar. You can argue with Jesus Christ all you want about the specific intention of his statement, but as for me, I will take the Son of God at his word the bread "IS MY BODY" and the wine "IS MY BLOOD". Same as Martin Luther; Egos thinking they can rewrite Biblical History because they can't seem to grasp concepts like "Communion of Saints", "Mary as an Intercessor", or "Transubstantiation".Things the Church has understood for almost two thousand years. I'll take one: Think about Transubstantiation like Jesus taught regarding Adultery. If you Covet someone's wife, you are still committing Adultery in your heart. Transubstantiation of the Host and Wine is real. Still looks and tastes like wine and wafers, but its essential essence has changed, and its present in the heart of everybody participating in Communion
How should we, in your opinion, interpret Luke 22:19. Jesus broke bread and said “this is by body which will be given up for you. Do this in memory of me.”
Jesus was showing them an allegory. This happened at the Passover dinner before Jesus was crucified either Wed. or Thurs night - NOT Friday - there were TWO Sabbaths that week. Matthew wrote it in Greek. The Greek word he used in chapter 28 verse 1 was the word for SABBATHS. Jesus was showing His disciples an allegory.
@@uscgmom9796 Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh? Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him." Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise? Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13. Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people. Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"? The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood. See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism. Is this what you think too? At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood. In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things. Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life." Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view? See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding. In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I. Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood. Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.😎😎
The Catholic Church came up with the transubstantiation thing in the Middle Ages. Before that, they admitted that the wine was just wine. So, were they lying about Jesus and Christianity before they changed the rules or afterward? Why were the early church and the apostles acting like the Protestants? There was no such thing as the 'Eucharist' in original Christianity either, or the original Church. That ritual also came much later and it borrows very heavily from paganism. You'll notice that the monstrance that holds the silly little wafer is usually made to look like a golden sun, because it's about practicing sun worship, and hiding the Mystery Babylon religion in plain sight. Lucifer is known as the bringer of light. If you study the history, you'll learn that almost nothing that the Catholic Church does now dates back to the original Christian church. Of course, if Roman paganists actually read the Bible, they would already know how much of what they do is condemned.
Absolute nonsense! You obviously have no clue on what the Catholic Church actually teaches. Cherry picking a few seemingly contentious documents of the Church is a dishonest approach to make an invalid claim.
I went from agnosticism to Protestantism but soon became disillusioned with it. It teaches false doctrines (eg, salvation thru faith alone) and amounts to fake Christianity. I learnt that Christianity is Catholicism ... and has been from the very beginning. If your church is not Catholic (or at least an Eastern Orthodox), you're in a fake church. Jesus gave the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" to Peter (Matt 16:19) - ie, to the Church - not to a book.
Why do so many Christians & religions always fall back into anti Catholicism? As a multi-generational Catholic with a personal relationship with Jesus, from time to time I am drawn to those who genuinely and actively study the Bible. Your insight has drawn me to view your channel on a few occasions. Ah! Like so many others, your insecurity in following your own faith and belief has led you to fall by your denouncement of others. It is God's right to judge ONLY! God bless! I am so disappointed in you.
Because we believe Catholicism is a cult and the people following it are damned to hell. It is not insecurity (you are projecting) but the need to tell the others the truth..."to come out of her".
The Priest does not change the bread into the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit does that. The Mass is a celebration of the memorial of the death and resurrection of Jesus which he told us to do at the Last Supper. You don't even use the proper Bible. Your Bible is missing 7 books. If it makes you feel better, the Church (Body of Christ) is the sinless one, made up of sinners. All the clergy from the Pope down must admit they are sinners. Christ did say his Church would suffer great trials and persecutions. It will only be perfected in heaven. So you are doing what Christ said.
If in your point of view the Catholic’s celebration of the mass is wrong, my question then is, how would you celebrate Jesus proclamation of eating His body and drinking His blood and the remembrance there-off ?
“The Bible stands on its own.” Meanwhile it was canonized by the Pope and the pope ordered monks To hand copy the Bible for over 1000yrs Or Protestants would NOT have the Bible

Jesus did say that anyone who believes in him [as being the Son of God] will have everlasting life (John 6:47). _"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."_ (John 3:16) and _"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."_ (Romans 10:9) However, Jesus also said, according to Matthew 7:21 _"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ "_ In Luke 6:46, we read, _"Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?"_ and verse 49 _"But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell-and great was its destruction!”"_ Jesus told us, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15). His commandments, given as two great commandments, were a summarization of Yahweh's ten commandments, the first four of which pertain to our love of God and the last six of which pertain to our love for other human beings - which is confirmed plainly enough in Matthew 22:37-40 and in Romans 13:9. Clearly, our keeping of the moral laws of God is important to Jesus and, to him, our doing so is proof of our love for him. Moreover, that such good works serve as proof of faith in Christ is made clear in James 2:20 and 26 who tells us that faith, without works, is a useless or dead faith. So, let us consider love, and faith, and belief in Christ, and in his purpose and consequence of having come and died for the remission of our sins as the sort of altogether integrated and irrefragible sense of belief that we as Christians must hold. Now, Satan knows that he cannot eradicate Christianity. Therefore, he has sought to infiltrate it with demonic doctrines, to lead the faithful to apostasy. This is just as true in the Protestant realm, mainly in the form of encouraging the preaching and practice of lawlessness. The commonly-heard catch-phrase, _"The Law was nailed to the cross"_ is the motto for some Protestants who think they do not need to follow the ten commandments and God's/Christ's other moral precepts and may engage in whatever licentious behavior they like but still be confident in thinking that they remain saved: An ignorant and spiritually dangerous idea which induces one into a sort of dead faith. Whereas, in Roman Catholicism, Satan also injects lawlessness, but it is done in a dogmatic, regimented way. It is actually built into the religious practices. It comes in the form of rituals _designed_ to specifically and repetitively violate certain of God's commandments and precepts. For example, the second Biblical commandment (against idolatry, which, arguably, God abhors the most) which the Papacy has [ (Correction:) _diminished the emphasis of by changing it from being its own numbered commandment to a bit of language tacked-on to the end of the first commandment in the Catechism, which, for the sake of brevity, is often omitted in other sources_ ], to allow for the sin to be committed unawares by congregants under the name of "adoration" of statues, relics, the crucifix, the eucharistic host wafer, etc.; communication with the dead, which God regards as abominable, through routine prayers to Mary and Saints; the violation of the sanctity of the Sabbath (the Biblical fourth commandment) by changing it to Sunday (a violation which most Protestants also engage in not realizing it was a Catholic invention); the regard for Mary as an intercessor or mediatrix, which usurps Christ's position in that respect as sole mediator, etc. The list goes on. I hope you can see that this is not an attack on you as a Catholic. I only hope to have answered the question I gather you were asking; and that from a Protestant perspective of my own that may not jibe with that of most others. I'm not here to agree with other Protestants' lines of thoughts. I try to base what I believe on God's word.

@@mytwocents777 In fact 1 Tim. 2:5-6 says: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”1👍👍 Now let’s take a look at what St. Paul wrote in the preceding four verses: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” (1 Tim. 2:1) St. Paul is telling Timothy and all disciples of Jesus Christ that they are supposed to offer supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanks on behalf of all men. In short, Paul says Christians are to play a mediating role. Next verse, picks up after “for all men”: “For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (1 Tim. 2:2) St. Paul is making clear, not only are we to make prayers of intercession, supplication, etc. on behalf of all mankind, but even those in authority over us, such as kings! Why does St. Paul exhort Timothy and all Christisns to play this mediating role? Verse 3: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” (1 Tim. 2:3) Who is “God our Saviour”? Jesus Christ, of course. Paul is saying quite explicitly that the mediation he is exhorting us to make “is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,” in the sight of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So now we get to verse 4, which tells us why Jesus Christ would desire this from us: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”(1 Tim. 2:4) The reason we ought to make these various prayers of mediation is because Jesus Christ desires, “all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” And now we come to verse 5, not cherry-picked out of context but within the context of St. Paul’s first letter to Timothy, chapter 2, verses 1-6: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Tim. 2:5-6) In short, 1 Tim. 2:1-6 instructs all Christians to mediate on behalf of all mankind through different types of prayer, which are offered through the one mediator Jesus Christ. And in order to assuage any doubt about this, St. Paul adds: “Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” (1 Tim. 2:7-8) Catechism Mediatrix” is explained. For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer. Just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by the ministers and by the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is really communicated in different ways to His creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source. The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary. It knows it through unfailing experience of it and commends it to the hearts of the faithful, so that encouraged by this maternal help they may the more intimately adhere to the Mediator and Redeemer. The Church’s perspective of Mary as subordinate, as any member of the faithful would be😎😎So much for your ignorance
@@bibleman8010 Thank you for the information. I have edited the statement in the original post and marked it as a correction. There was no intention of lying here.

I had the same experience when my sister’s mother-in-law died: the service was cold, generic, and depressing. The Catholic ‘church” mandated a generic service with no personalization: the service followed a strict formula and could have been anyone’s funeral. There was no presence of Yehovah God there.
One only need note the graven imagery, trinkets, costumes, and funny hats to just know it doesn't jive with what should be comfortable, much more the complete departure from scripture. Too bad even pretenses are ok with God, not me.
When confronting the Roman Catholics who pray to Mary, they will always deny and say they don't, they are just asking Mary to pray for them. Just show them this : Act of Consecration to Mary My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen. They can't deny, they are indeed praying to Mary. This is not asking her to intercedes, this is in actual fact praying to a creature created by the Creator. It's an abomination act.
Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession, here are 2 cases. First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death. Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus.
Mary is superior to both Moses & Abraham. Moses committed murder and was disobedient at Meribah in the desert that disqualified him from entering the Promised Land. Abraham lied about his wife Sarah being his sister, and committed adultery with Hagar, his servant. Mary was " full of grace " with no biblical faults ascribed to her. And Mary is the mother of Jesus and thus the most excellent intercessor between us and Jesus, God & Judge ( John 5:22). While we pray to God we also have to use human helps like doctors, farmers etc. Possessed persons and their families cannot help themselves without the aid of exorcists. Jesus loved & honored His mother Mary and would therefore treat her better than the error-prone Moses & Abraham. Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them. ====== Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother. ===== Jesus also commanded us to love as He loved, so Catholics love and honour Mary who is as living as Jesus, Moses & Abraham. In her varied apparitions, she calls for prayer, penance and love of her Son, Jesus. (Check the Internet for Mary's picture over a Coptic church in Zeitoun, Egypt for 3 years in 1968-71). On Judgment Day, it will go well for Catholics who loved and honoured His Mother. Protestants will not be so blessed. Catholics believe in a Living God for whom all people are alive, not dead. Catholics not only believe but also are sure that Mary is alive for she has appeared in many places and at different times to many people. - By their fruits you will know them -. Mary has pointed her followers to imitate Jesus - Do whatever He tells you. In 1917, she appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal and urged the following prayer - O my Jesus, forgive our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. - ( This is a prayer that no demon would urge ). At Fatima, she promised beforehand a miracle, and later on in the same year in October 1917 she fulfilled it which is known as The Miracle of the Sun ( you can view more info on the Internet ) She also appeared at Guadalupe, present day Mexico City - in December 1531, and converted and stopped the people from practicing child sacrifice. ( Note : At Guadalupe, Mary's photo was miraculously imprinted on the native man's Tilma - or cloak - which was made of cactus fibres, that normally has a life expectancy of 50 years at the most. However it is almost 500 years later and that Tilma is still intact and kept in the shrine just outside Mexico City ) Mary has been appearing in Medjugorje, Bosnia to 6 people, then teenagers in the 1980's, and still is. Her constant message and urging is to pray and fast for the conversion of sinners. I have personally visited that place and met one of them, and am totally convinced of her - she is a married woman now - sincerity.
So if you do not believe that Jesus will send His mother to visit us, - no necromancy here - then you are the poorer for it. Note - In all her appearances, Mary has been seen and described as a beautiful lady - sometimes sad when she urged prayers for sinners - also glad at times, but mostly as a concerned human mother. Necromancy is the demon spirits imitating the voices of the dead, but who make no appearance. Later, the demons demand payment for their " services'' usually in multiplication of the value of such service. Mary, on the other hand, only asks for prayers for the conversion of sinners. In Lourdes, France one can see the dozens of walking canes left by grateful clients who requested her intercession and were able to walk after. In Montreal, at St Joseph's Oratory, there are also a multitude of canes and walking sticks also left behind by clients grateful for St Joseph's intercession. (( continued on Page 2 due to length ))
(( Part 2 )) Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession = continued Jesus is God and Judge and if He stated that the dead Abraham and the rich man could be speaking to each other, He was confirming that there is Life after death. Moreover, Jesus commanded us to love as He loved. He certainly loved His mother and honoured her in fulfillment of the Mosaic Law, ===== >>> Again, humanly speaking we all love and " adore " our mothers - not worship them. Jesus also loved PERFECTLY as well as " adored " His mother Mary.
So, my wife grew up catholic and her aunt is an amazing christian woman but is 100% catholic. We've had heated debates over this topic, so thank you for posting this video. I wasnt educated enough to make a valid argument against the catholic church.
You have made no legitimate argument here. You have only demonstrated your ignorance. The mass is descended directly from what is mentioned in Mathew 26:28 Do you even understand why Catholics declare I believe in One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church? What exactly does it say in those verses? i mean what exactly does it say? 🤷♂️
From conception the “Church” was an OFFICIAL sect within Judaism. When you read Acts 1 and if you are familiar with Halakhah Law you will immediately notice that the Church is a legal entity WITHIN Judaism. There are 3 requirements which are met. Firstly, notice that there are 120 members in this synagogue. Why is this important? It is the exact number of persons in the Halakhah regulations to form a full fledged synagogue. Judaism and Catholicism were born on Shavuot/Pentecost. To this day the Catholic Conclave has a maximum limit of 120 electors to elect the Pope. Secondly next according to Halakhah regulations there must be a "beit din" (Hebrew court) formed. We see that there is a beit-din and it draws lots and Matthias a disciple is chosen to take over Judas bishopric (episkopen). The first example of Apostolic Succession. So two of the three requirements are met. The third requirement is that there must be a NASI (prince/temporal) and an AB (father/spiritual) appointed. Curiously Peter is filling both these positions in this beit din. Why? In 190 BC the Kohan Gadol (jewish high-priest) fell into apostasy and beit-din gadol (Hebrew court) cast a vote of no confidence splitting the Kohan Gadol into two offices the "NASI" and the "AB" within the Beit Din Gadol. Fast forward to Matt16, in this new Beit Din Gadol (70 disciples) Christ has placed His confidence in Peter (the first AB/father/pope meaning papa) by presenting him the Keys to the temple/governance bringing the two offices back into one high priesthood the way it originally was. The pope has both temporal and spiritual powers. Peter is the NASI prince of the apostles and the AB/pope (Pope meaning papa - meaning father) as you see even today the pope as Peters documented unbroken apostolic successor is both ‘nasi’ and the ‘ab’ in Catholicism. Rashi/Jewish sage writes a commentary on the priestly role of the steward/vizier of the Davidic Kingdoms. The Keys are the keys of the Temple and Authority. When the Davidic kings were away the steward/vizier was in charge and he wore the keys the King gave him so the citizens knew who he was. The steward is given the sash/robes/keys to the temple because the role is also a priestly role. The keys were then passed onto a successor when that steward died/removed. (Isaiah 22 v15-25) The Apostles knew exactly what had occurred when Jesus gave Peter the keys. Jesus presents the keys to Peter (Pope/ab) and appoints him/his successors as His royal steward to care for HIs flock until His return. Jesus gave all the Apostles special gifts but He only gave Peter the keys to Temple and governance. First book of Kings lists all the Kings and the royal steward/vizier is always listed next to the King because in the absence of the King he was in charge of the Kingdom. Christ also renames Peter (the only Apostle renamed) as Abraham and Jacob were renamed by God in preparation for their specific role in salvation history. Jesus, Son of David rebuilt the davidic kingdom as per 2SamCh7 - He is the King, His mother is Gebirah, Peter/successor Popes are His royal stewards/viziers and the Hebrew court/beit-din is the Magesterium. Catholicism is not a new religion, it is the legitimate continuation of Temple Judaism (not Rabbinic Judaism). Catholics do not throw out what God has revealed prior and continues to hold that all that is revealed is a single continuous revelation culminating in the Catholic Faith. Jewish priests who followed Jesus brought the temple rituals over: we kept the priests, the altar, the eternal sacrifice, the holy incense, the shewbread, the tabernacle, the sanctuary etc, etc, etc Judaism and Catholicism is the same faith in two covenants one old and another new. Jesus created a Melchezidek priesthood (which pre-exists the Aaronic priesthood). This is why all Catholic priests belong to the order of Melchizedek, the fulfilment of the theophany of Melchizedek giving wine/bread to Father Abraham.
I agree with this religion is false. Constantine had a lot to do with it. by bringing paganism to the church, he worshiped God and Satan. so, he thought. For being at birthdays parties no I don't agree. all pagan practices. Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” these holidays we are not to partake in. We can't do the things we did for it is not of God. 1 John 2:15-17 King James Version 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. plenty of verses. now going out into the public preach I agree with. like your videos.especially when pointing out this religion. If people just stick to the bible, they better off. and not the bible of the roman church or mormons but the King James. The roman church Exodus 20:4 King James Version 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Revelation 17:4-6 King James Version 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. Matthew 26:26-29 King James Version 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. was not for us to practice.
CONSTANTINE REIGNED FROM 306 to 337 AD 😎😎 NOTICE THE FOLLOWING DATES Evodius was the first Bishop of Antioch (Ordained By PETER ) of the Catholic Church, and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22. Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D.. In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"... St Ignatius is a holy and blessed martyr for the gospel. St Peter himself appointed Ignatius as bishop of Antioch. The Church of Antioch was a well-established stronghold of the gospel and firmly ground in apostolic teaching. So was St Ignatius a member of your true church? No, he was a DECLARED CATHOLIC who stood up for the Divinity of Christ and for the Real Presence of the Body & Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. I'll stick with the authority of the successors of the apostles. @abukid The Docetists taught that when St John wrote "the word became flesh," he was speaking figuratively. St Ignatius maintains true apostolic teaching on the flesh of Christ & even offered his own flesh in holy martyrdom. Like you, the Docetists denied that the Eucharistic elements were the flesh & blood of Christ. Who are you? Did you sit at the feet of St John & hear the gospel from his lips? Do you really believe that you know what John's words meant better than Ignatius his pupil? The List of Popes All before Constantine . St. Peter (32-67) St. Linus (67-76) St. Anacletus (Cletus) (76-88) St. Clement I (88-97) St. Evaristus (97-105) St. Alexander I (105-115)St. Sixtus I (115-125) St. Telesphorus (125-136) St. Hyginus (136-140) St. Pius I (140-155) St. Anicetus (155-166) St. Soter (166-175) St. Eleutherius (175-189) St. Victor I (189-199) St. Zephyrinus (199-217) St. Callistus I (217-22) St. Urban I (222-30) St. Pontain (230-35) St. Anterus (235-36) St. Fabian (236-50) St. Cornelius (251-53) St. Lucius I (253-54) St. Stephen I (254-257) St. Sixtus II (257-258) St. Dionysius (260-268) St. Felix I (269-274) St. Eutychian (275-283) St. Caius (283-296) St. Marcellinus (296-304) St. Marcellus I (308-309) And all the other Saints and Martyrs Of the Church Of Christ. (Catholic Church) Before Constantine. CAN YOU ADD AND SUBTRACT OR IS IT ANOTHER LITTLE LIE, ACT OF OMISSION OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY Constantine never merged a Thing pagan into the Church In fact he did the opposite he destroyed Pagan temples what liarThere is zero proof of a "pagan" merge of Christianity in theological practices. There isn't a serious (emphasis added) historian secular or religious that would substantiate that claim. If what you claim is true, then the Holy Bible was canonized by pagans. The official New Testament books were canonized by the Holy Spirit working through the Catholic Church in the year 382 with the Council of Rome, which was convened under the leadership of Pope Damasus, promulgated the 73-book scriptural canon. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442). This "pagan influence illusion" blossomed in the nineteenth century. Publications such as Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons (the classic English tract accusing the Catholic Church of paganism) prepared the ground for years of hostility toward the Church. During this period, entire new sects (Seventh-day Adventists, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses) emerged, all of which saw conventional Catholicism and Protestantism as tainted by paganism. During this time period, atheistic "freethinkers" like Robert Ingersoll wrote volumes criticizing Christianity and Judaism. In short, this idea of an infused pagan Church wasn't an idea until the 19th century as a tactic to discredit the RCC. The Catholic Church confirmed the doctrine of the trinity was established well into the 4th century, in the year 325, exactly where you claim that the Church went pagan. So, did a pagan Church give you the very bible you are reading today and substantiated your own belief in the trinity? These illogical fallacies just don't work due to the conflicting historic counter arguments that have actual proof other than misinterpreted Catholic doctrines that are challenged today. I hope this sparks you to read further into accurate historical data,

Purgatory is a state of final purification before entering heaven. Scripture speaks of a "cleansing" fire (Purgatory) a purification of the soul necessary before entrance to heaven.

Is Jesus God? Did Jesus work miracles? Did the 72 that Jesus sent out return in amazement because they had worked miracles in Jesus' name? Did Peter perform miracles in Jesus name? Does Jesus, Who is God, have the power/ability to give humans the power to perform miracles? In John 6, how many times did Jesus say His flesh is real food or His blood is real drink? I counted 18 times. How many do you count? Did Jesus give an ultimatum in John 6:53 "Unless you eat My flesh and drink My blood you have no life in you?" At the Last Supper did Jesus consecrate the bread and wine into His body and blood? Did He COMMAND His apostles to do this as a re-presentation in remembrance of Me? What did the apostles believe about the Eucharist? What did the students of the apostles believe about the Eucharist? What did St. Paul say about receiving the Eucharist unworthily? Did he say that would result in the condemnation of the person receiving unworthily? Does anyone believe it was the power of Jesus' disciples and apostles to work miracles? Does anyone in the Catholic Church believe it is the power of the priest that consecrates the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? No! The disciples, apostles, and priests don't work miracles. Jesus does. It is His power at work. How do I know? JESUS SAID SO in John 6 and at the Last Supper. Prayers for you and anyone influenced by you that you will accept the words that Jesus gave as ultimatums, commands, and teachings during His life on earth. I believe Him. Until you believe Christ and follow him how can you dare to call yourself a Christian?
The are 2 Journal of the Words of God: the Bible and the BIBLE; the Bible is the civil version whereas the BIBLE is the military version; the English Language comes from the Romans: a military society where Latin was the Language of the Church and the military; To understand this day and age one must make the connection to the past; who am I? I am, now, Spiritual: my Father was Protestant and my Mother was Roman Catholic; so I got all the bases covered;
I may not believe in transubstantiation, but I do believe in the true presence of God in the consecrated Eucharist. It's a mystery how God manages this, but Holy Communion is truly holy and miracle between our Lord and his church as one body. I don't have a problem w/ them adoring God through the Host. I do not know where they got transubstantiation from though. It does reduce us to cannibals.
Note: the object of this devilish twisted talk is "Roman catholicism", not orthodox or whatever... Why? Because the devil knows very well where is the Truth.
Scripture took me out of that false denomination and into a relationship with Christ. Thank you God.

I was raised into Catholicism because my family and I were lost. Every time we went I felt so uncomfortable and especially the idea of making confession to a random person I don’t know who is also a sinner. By the grace of God, Jesus saved me and my parents making a confession to Jesus above and not to a random man below on earth. We got born again and our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus, hallelujah!
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
- 1 John 1:9
He then led us to a nondenominational church who teaches from the Bible. We now have a relationship with God not a man made religion. We read our bibles daily and follow Jesus. Have so much peace and hope knowing that Jesus is coming back. People need to get to know the real Jesus from the Bible who gives peace that surpasses all understanding.
A few years ago I repented to God then Prayed for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in Perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I Held him was unlike Anything I've Ever felt before - A Lifetime of Love Every Second - It brought me to Sobbing and it changed my life, Forever.
I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed".
A voice Spoke Clearly into my ear, "Go Visit Your Father Today.", hours before he passed. When I prayed if I could leave this world my body spoke a word Without My Permission I Never Heard Before, "Malarkey". Hours before a major surgery a Bright orb of light Passed across my face.
God and Jesus ARE real! Truly Love God & Everyone!
I believe Prayer, Following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming Humble, Merciful, Welcoming, Giving, Gentle, Respectful, Compassionate, Patient, Kind and Forgiving, To All.
May God bless and keep you for your belief in Him.
It's not what Church (people) you worship with, it's how you worship with your heart.
Why do find that act of confession so terrible?
Why do you feel that you are so perfect that you do not need to confess?
Also of course the priest who you confess to is also a sinner because they are human.
This entire message section is filled with those who have no real understanding of what Catholicism really is, where it gets it's beliefs from.
The reality is that although many Catholics, including Popes, Kings, Bishops & lay people have not been very good at practising what they preach ....nor even sometimes at preaching it the 7 sacraments all date back to the original Church and the 1st Century
It is protestants who have always taken things away from
Christianity, including fasting & veneration of Mary rather than Catholics adding things and taking the fun out of life.
my oldest son is catholic. I got him to come to my church (baptist-of which I'm not proud to say as of late but we are a Bible believing body of Christ) & he claims the reason he doesn't like my church is all we have is a cross that Jesus isn't pictured on. I told him " because He's not on the cross anymore He arose from the death of the cross!! HE'S ALIVE!!"
The apostles preached Christ crucified. Baptists do not teach as the apostles. And this is just one small example.
Roman Catholics are misunderstanding Matthew 16:18.
The confession that "Jesus is the Christ the Son of God" is the only foundational truth that Christ builds His church on.
Peter’s confession is the rock.
Peter's confession is the foundational truth.
And this confession is shown multiple times by the NEW believers of the Christ of the New Covenant church.
Also, In the New Testament it says that Satan, the chief priests, and others who murdered Christ did not want to accept this truth.
1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Disciples confessed: Matthew 14:33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Samaritans confessed: John 4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
centurion confessed: Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
John the Baptist confessed: John 1:34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”
Nathaniel confessed: John 1:49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Martha confessed
Martha confessed John 11:27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
Ethiopian eunuch confessed: Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Saul confessed: Acts 9:20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
Finally, new believers who confess have accepted the God’s gift of His Son the Christ, must continue to accept the truth that the Holy Spirit is revealing to them. Thereby building on the truth.
Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Mark 4:24-25 NLT
Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given[a]-and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”
@@God_gave_His_Son_for_you
You: The confession that "Jesus is the Christ the Son of God" is the only foundational truth that Christ builds His church on.
Me: Jesus never said that. What he said was that he was renaming Simon to Cephas and immediately said that he was building his church on this cephas. And he gave only to Peter the keys to the kingdom, showing who has the authority of the king.
You: Many confessed Jesus as Son of God but Scripture no where says that they were saved as this was the only condition for salvation.

Is John telling us that we can have an assurance of salvation?
How? Just by believing in Christ? Agreeing that he died for our sins?
Is faith alone all that is required to achieve this guarantee of salvation?

What things? All of 1 John!
1 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves,* and the truth is not in us. 1:8
2 The way we may be sure* that we know him is to keep his commandments. 2:3
3 Whoever claims to abide in him ought to live [just] as he lived. 2:6
4 Whoever says he is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness. 2:9
5 Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a fall. 2:10
6 I write to you, young men, because you are strong and the word of God remains in you, and you have conquered the evil one. 2:14
7 Do not love the world or the things of the world.* If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 2:14
8 Yet the world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. 2:17
9 No one who denies the Son has the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well. 2:23
10 If you consider that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who acts in righteousness is begotten by him. 2:29
11 Children, let no one deceive you. The person who acts in righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. 3:7
12 no one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God, nor anyone who does not love his brother. 3:10
13 We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love remains in death. 3:14
15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. 3:15
16 The way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 3:16
17 If someone who has worldly means sees a brother in need and refuses him compassion, how can the love of God remain in him? 3:17
18 Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. 3:18
19 And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us. 3:23
20 Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit that he gave us. 3:24
21 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 4:1
22 We belong to God, and anyone who knows God listens to us, while anyone who does not belong to God refuses to hear us. This is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit. 4:6
23 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. 4:7
24 In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. 4:17
25 In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. 5:2
26 For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome 5:3
27 Who [indeed] is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?d5:5
28 Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life. 5:10-12

The conversation of Catholic vs Protestant is an erroneous discussion.
The overarching matter is personal transformation by the Holy Spirit. This personal transformation leads to full submission to God through Christ (not my will but Your will be done).
Personal transformation is not the result of joining any organization on earth. It is a result of responding to the revelation of God's gift of His Son.
in Matthew 16:18 Christ says on this rock He will build, and that requires a foundational truth.
The truth that God revealed to Peter is the foundational truth.
Therefore, Peter's confession is the foundational truth of personal transformation. The truth of who Jesus is. The Son of God. The Christ of God. The GIFT of God.
New believers who have accepted God’s gift of His Son the Christ, must continue to accept the truth that the Holy Spirit is revealing to them. Thereby building on the truth.
Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Mark 4:24-25 NLT
Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given[a]-and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”
As you accept the new truth of the HS then you become transformed.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I try to tell my dad but he is so so deeply blind….. he tells me I don’t love Jesus, that I don’t have the fullness of truth, that I don’t love Jesus…… and that is so false. I got born again at 18 out of a Catholic household. And trying to share the Gospel with my dad but he doesn’t just not see but he chooses to not even acknowledge the Bible verses that go against the false Catholic doctrine…… it gets me so angry and makes me so sad at the same time…… I really have to dust my feet.
One of the most heartbreaking and infuriating times in my life was when I was at a Catholic funeral and the priest was there giving comforting words to those in the room. He was giving Christ glory and seemed right on. However, he immediately led those around in a prayer to Mary. I just about jumped out of my skin!
I know exactly how you feel, but now I feel the opposite tbh now that I've studied church history and how Mary was viewed back then
It really is a punch to the gut when you hear them treat her like God. And then they'll look you in the eye and say they don't worship Mary.
I'm sure Mary has an exalted place in Heaven.... but she is not to be worshiped.... amen, God bless you

@YourSinWillFindYouOut but how did we get the word of God the Bible? Through the church, there wasn't a canonized bible until 382 ad at the council of Rome. Don't forget that until the great schism of 1054 there was only one Holy Catholic and apostolic church when Rome (the west) split from the Eastern Orthodox Church ☦️
I distinctly remember as an 8year old going to ballet class and a mum there was sharing about something difficult going on with someone. That person needed "extra prayer" and because of the need she was going straight to the "big guy" this time. I was thinking in my mind, 'why not prayer straight to God every time?' It was in that moment that I knew catholicism was false.
8 years old is too young to make a decision about such a complex issue, you need solid reasoning and research not just suspicion about throwaway lines. It happens the other way around too; The Catholic Church has the RCIA programme to support non baptized people who wish to convert.

In fact, the Catholic Church forbids Mariolatry because it forbids us to worship anyone other than God himself: "Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God. . . . Idolatry rejects the unique Lordship of God; it is therefore incompatible with communion with God" (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2113, cf. 2110-2112, 2114).

20 And God spoke all these words, saying,[a]
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before[b] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
8 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
13 “You shall not kill.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
18 Now when all the people perceived the thunderings and the lightnings and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled; and they stood afar off, 19 and said to Moses, “You speak to us, and we will hear; but let not God speak to us, lest we die.” 20 And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to prove you, and that the fear of him may be before your eyes, that you may not sin.”
The Law concerning the Altar
21 And the people stood afar off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was. 22 And the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the people of Israel: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have talked with you from heaven. 23 You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold. 24 An altar of earth you shall make for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen; in every place where I cause my name to be remembered I will come to you and bless you. 25 And if you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones; for if you wield your tool upon it you profane it. 26 And you shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness be not exposed on it.’

For example, prayers for the dead to free from Purgatory come from the Book of Macabees, so there are things that from Books included in the Catholic Cannon, but rejected in creation of the Protestant bible.
That teaching of "purgatory" is one of the many ways that Roman Catholicism does not believe that faith in Christ's perfect sacrifice is sufficient to cleanse us from all sin, and impute His perfect righteousness to us, as God's word teaches in 1 John 1:9 and Romans 4:5.
Jewish historians don’t even consider the apocryphal books canon
Have forwarded and typed it out. Thank you, Dr. Burnett. I am the ONLY saved one for many generations and have had to remove myself from surviving siblings and their children because of their abuse because they found out I left catholicism over 50 yrs ago (saved at Calvary Costa Mesa). They damned me with their mouths and with their writings. I didn't even go to my mom's burial because of them - I brought my WW2 catholic parents to the Lord before they passed in their 90s - they had no idea about anything in the Holy Bible. The RCR in the 60s and 70s told us that only catholics would get into Heaven and that everyone else goes to Hell and that we were to HATE Jews because they killed our Savior. NOPE. Jesus said, 'I lay down My Life. NO one takes it from Me.' It is beyond sad how blind people choose to be and many afraid if they leave the false religion that they will have no family. Well, I can attest to that: they might not. But Jesus will fill in the loss with Himself and others who follow Him, and Jesus said if anyone loves his parents, children, anyone more than Him that they are not worthy of Him. We pray for all those who do not know, follow and worship Lord Jesus Christ and who do not leave their false man-made religions. MARANATHA
You are the "only" saved one? How do YOU know who is saved and who's not saved, are YOU God? I thought God is the judge on who he saves and who he doesn't? Only God knows our hearts, NOT you.
It is because you have the wrong idea about what it is to be saved, and you have fallen into the sin of presumption. So I'll make it pretty clear for you, you do NOT have your Golden ticket to heaven just Yet. But you MUST persevere till the end just as St. Paul says. Which mean you do NOT know who's saved, and who isn't. You are taking away from the mercy of Christ as well.
I pray may we persevere till the end, by the Grace of God 🙏.
This is by St Justin Martyr he lived between (110-165).
And this food is called among us Eucharistia [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined.
For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.
-First Apology, 66
I'm going to listen to the man that only was two generations away from Jesus Christ and was before the compilation of the Bible. He tells us how they did the mass back in the first century. So do we listen to someone that their doctrine started in the 1500s or in the first century you can decide.
HOLY COMMUNION
==================
But, “Lord, Lord, we ate and drank with you.” - Luke 13:26. Not good enough. What does Jesus want? He wants us not to eat with Him, He wants us to eat Him. “This is My Body, This is My Blood.” (Mark 14:22-23) For over two thousand years our Roman Catholic tradition has boldly proclaimed and professed and taught that Jesus Christ is truly present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity at the Holy Eucharist at Mass. We call it the miracle of transubstantiation-the changing (trans) of the substance of bread and wine into the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Jesus is the God - the Living Bread = John 6:50 - that came from Heaven to teach us the Way, Truth and Life to Heaven.
He has been assigned all Judgement - John 5:22.
Jesus declared that to have Eternal Life, one must - Eat My Flesh, Drink My Blood - which is Real Food and Drink = John 6:53-58.
Many of Jesus' disciples broke away because they could not accept this - John = 6:66 =. Because they realized that Jesus meant - Real - as evidenced by the word - Gnaw, as on a bone - which He used for - Eat.
Moreover, Paul urges its - worthy - reception = 1 Cor. 11:27 = something that he would not do if it was symbolic. In fact, the earliest Christians were labelled as - cannibals - due to this fact.(NOTE - The same John also wrote the Book of Revelation and stated that the mark of the anti-Christ is number = 666 = - Rev 13:18 )
When Jesus declared = “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing, He was referring to the 2 Breads that came down from Heaven. The bread of Manna was for physical sustenance only. On the other hand, Jesus was the spiritual Bread from Heaven who came to give - eternal life - for those eating Him. And Jesus was born in Bethlehem which translates as - House of Bread.
Despite this, Protestants declare this to be - symbolic - despite Jesus' disciples realizing that Jesus was talking - REAL - and that is why they broke away.
That Holy Communion - Eucharist, which means Thanksgiving in Greek - is the Real Body and Blood has been confirmed by Eucharistic Miracles. Check the Internet for the 1996 Eucharistic Miracle of Buenos Aires and the 8th Century Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano, Italy
NOTE - Satanists will steal a consecrated " Catholic " Communion host for use in their diabolical " Black Masses." They will not use the hosts of near-Catholic Protestant denominations like the Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherians among others as these don't have the " Real " Presence of Jesus
Below are some of the details of the research done on the still existing Communion host of the 8th Century. Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano
In 1970-'71 and taken up again partly in 1981 there took place a scientific investigation by the most illustrious scientist Prof. Odoardo Linoli, eminent Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry and Clinical Microscopy. He was assisted by Prof. Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena. The analyses were conducted with absolute and unquestionable scientific precision and they were documented with a series of microscopic photographs.
These analyses sustained the following conclusions:
The Flesh is real Flesh. The Blood is real Blood.
The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.
The Flesh consists of the muscular tissue of the heart.
In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of the heart for the large thickness of the myocardium.
The Flesh is a "HEART" complete in its essential structure.
The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood-type: AB (Blood-type identical to that which Prof. Baima Bollone uncovered in the Holy Shroud of Turin).
In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions (percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of the fresh normal blood.
In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium.
The preservation of the Flesh and of the Blood, which were left in their natural state for twelve centuries and exposed to the action of atmospheric and biological agents, remains an extraordinary phenomenon.
Peter never even went to Rome- Google it!

There Is only one God, in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. ONE God.
Humans are ONE person ( in three parts) The body, soul and spirit. Three parts, ONE person.
The Bible says that we are all sinners.
As it is written: There is none righteous , no not one. Romans 3:10
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.Romans 3:23
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23 (The word death in this verse means eternal separation from God in hell).
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Isaiah 1:18
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures and that He was buried and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:3-8
In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14
For by grace ye are saved, through faith; and not of yourselves.
It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2 :21
Realize that you are a hopeless sinner and trust in Jesus shed blood on the cross to pay for your sins.
The moment you trust in Jesus and only Jesus, you are saved.
Thank you. The simplicity of the gospel 😊
Beautiful! ❤
That's spot on with what the Spirit has convicted me of in the past years. I'm a hopeless sinner with only faith and trust and love in the name of Jesus!
AMEN. MARANATHA!
Well I've converted from Protestant to Catholic. What made me decide to do this? It's actually very simple... the early Church Fathers i.e. the first Christians believed in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. And it stayed that way for 1500 years. They also had a special reverence for Mary, as did Martin Luther. For the first 1500 years of Christianity, the church was about tradition passed on from the Apostles as much as it was scripture. The Catholic Church compiled the Bible as well. Becoming a Catholic was the best decision I ever made. It has enabled me to experience the fullness of the Church in all it's glory. God bless you all x
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
God himself will come and live inside of us, he will never leave us or abandon us, he will always be there in anything we face in life. And specifically, Jesus tells the disciples that the Holy Spirit will teach them all things and remind them of all Jesus has said.
Im not Catholic, but I ask what is wrong to believe that the Eucharist isn't the Body and Blood of Christ?
5:45 More misrepresentations of tge Catholic Church. It was the Catholic that created Universities and preserved writings and studied all kinds of science and philosophy. You liar.
There is salvation only in Christ Jesus… who examines the heart of man. His Love transcends all religion.
🙌👑🎚❤️💕
He's the ONLY WAY to GOD.
Amen to that!
I visited my friends Catholic Church a couple of times with her and it was the most pagan spectacle I’ve ever seen in a church. They found ways to have all the helpers bow to objects at least a good 10 times! I understand it was intended as respect but the effect was worshipping idols/things. They believe that God has entered these items. So I person bowed before mounting the steps to the alter area, walks to the wall, opens a cabinet, bows, brings the cup to the priest who bows, after the wine and watching everyone genuflecting and curtsying or bowing to the cup individually, the helper bows to the alter taking the cup back to the cupboard and bows to the cup again. They bowed to the wafers. They bowed to the Bible. And I’ll tell you the thing that I really noticed…. I’ve never seen such a miserable unhappy congregation before or since. The whole vibe was just horrible. And the priest seemed dead inside. If he was spiritually connected it didn’t show. Super sad! 😢
They are all bowing to the Holy Host, which is the Bread in the Eucharist held in the Holiest of Holies in the Tabernacle. It is the real presence of Christ within the church - within the Holiest of Holies exactly as in the day of the Jewish Temple. I've been a Protestant for most of my life and am converting to Catholicism. The bowing to the cup is bowing to the blood of Christ..........
The Catholic Visionaries describe the warnings Christ gives in that even Catholic Priests end up in Purgatory for failing to bow to the Body of Christ in the Tabernacle.
Everyone knows what a statue is in Catholicism. Every Catholic knows that the Statues in the church or outside the church are made from stone or concrete, and that they aren't actually Jesus, Mary, Jospeh or the Angels.
All the bowing and kneeling is done out of respect to the Body and Blood - which is the Sacrifice - as Jesus said he is sacrificing his body and blood for the salvation of man.
There's nothing pagan about the Catholic church statues, altar and Tabernacle, as it was also inside the Jewish Temple. Those human statues are of 3 Jews, one is Jesus, the other a Jewish woman called Mary and her husband also a Jew called Joseph - salvation comes from the Jews. This is not paganism, so stop calling Jewishness paganism as its a great insult against the God of Israel who brought forth his son through Mary and Joseph.
Bowing before the Altar, or Bible or cup or utensils as a mark of respect is because of the sacred objects. Protestantism declares there are no sacred objects in Christianity. But Jesus said in Mathew 23 that the gift is made sacred by the Altar, and the gold of the temple is made sacred by being in the temple which is sacred. Also images of the Lord are considered sacred...........
It is a stark difference between me being in Protestant churches and preachers calling the Cross an Idol and people should not wear it.......
Whereas for Catholics and Orthodox the cross IS a sacred object as it represents Christs sacrifice and our salvation.
Then in 1 Peter 4 People would touch handkerchiefs and aprons to Pauls body and then use them to heal the sick and cast out demons. Holy relics and Holy objects have been around for 2000 years, and its impossible for Protestants to accept.
And this is the problem in Protestantism, which is to NOT ACCEPT a whole lot of scripture, like Jesus calling Simon Petra/Rock and twisting it to mean something else despite Jesus qualifying what he was saying. Plus on Eunuchs or priests and the priesthood and a whole swathe of other verses and theology, and the Protestant abolition of the sacraments.
Finally the ting I love the most about Catholic church is the low depressed state of everybody. At Protestant church theres a rock band and women jumping up and down making their tits bounce, and people lifting their hands and singing. Then the preacher comes out and admonishes the crowd for being depressed and needing to come to church to be revitalized, and how he gets calls and messages from church goers how they can't keep the energy of church service going in their daily lives. The preachers all the time complain about how people can't keep that energy of rock and roll church going.
What you're seeing in Catholic church is called "Contrition" which is a feeling one gets when they are convicted of their sins and feel sorrow, because they need Christ to forgive them every week. Getting down on your knees at Catholic church and praying and asking for forgiveness WITH REAL CONTRITION, and not the Protestant boasting of "My sins have already been forgiven". No there's no boast that we're already saved, but contrition and repentance and the blessed hope, which is the hope of salvation.
Catholics get low and down on their knees and feel sorry for their sins and pray for forgiveness.
Protestants get high and jump around announcing that their sins are forgiven because they said their sins are forgiven and rarely take communion.
Reminds me of Jesus story about the Jew and the tax collector praying. The Jew prayed to God and thanked him that he wasn't like the tax collector beside him. The tax collector beat his chest and didn't look up to heaven and prayed asking God to forgive him because he was a sinner. Jesus said the tax collector went home justified.
You went home from Catholic church condemned because you judged and condemned the Catholic church as Pagan, when its not. You judged and condemned them for all the bowing to the body and blood of Christ - you condemned them for worshipping Christ by calling what they do as sad and pagan. Then you have the nerve to say it was the most miserable church service you've ever been to - thats the whole bloody point mate! Its about being justified and attaining salvation despite being a sinner. You'll never enter life in a Halla-loolya Cheezez jumping up and down demanding your salvation from Jesus through boasting. Salvation and justification is gained through contrition and repentance, just as Jesus explained in the story of the Jew and the tax collector.
GUESs your special and don't bow to Christ Or Gods word
@@stevenjohnson4283 Read your Bible. The truth is in there not what the Catholic Church says. Why the first thing you mention is Christ giving warnings about not bowing to the host...that is not in the Bible. It is something made up by men. In the Bible Jesus says the Communion was to be done in remembrance of Him not at all what the Catholic Church came up with. Christ is not in the elements. He finished the work of the cross when He died. The Catholic Church is a cult. I could go on and on. The horrible thing is you were a Protestant so you probably have read the Bible but decide to join a lie.

My brother was raised to follow Christ and to stick to his Bible. He married a Catholic and has converted to their ways. Please pray he comes back to Jesus 😢
I'm not finished with the video yet (just started) but after reading the list while listening, the most important part--being BORN AGAIN--I don't see referenced.
John 3:3-4
He's made a list of Catholcisms lies and ties to paganism.
I do not believe you can be born again and remain in the Catholic religion. The Holy Spirit removed me from that nightmare immediately. I have been kept in my Catholic Reader's Edition Bible though for my daily bread. I was given this bible the day I planned to kill myself. It is the Word of God, but I believe you truly need to be born again, of the Spirit, to receive and understand the truth. Those who are not born again, by the grace of God, can remain in their worldly religions (Catholic, Mormon, etc.).
May those who are not born again, seek and find, the Spirit of Truth and a relationship, not a religion. Church is not a building, but it has the strongest foundation.🙏❤️
That priest is bowing down before a graven image made by the hands of men, something that has no life, vitality, spirit or soul in and of itself, not from outside of itself! THAT is idolatry!
Like your avatar
@@bibleman8010 There's your James 3 tongue again. Not 1st Corinthians 13 Love of Christ.
Its the same with WORSHIPING Mary and confessing to a Priest who cannot wash sin away, something only JESUS done through death.
Im pretty sure Jesus was the lamb not anyone else.
bruh they dont worship Mary they venerate her. I'll wait while you look up what that word means. In the meantime here is a verse on confessing sins for you:
James 5:16 - "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
It is not enough to confess your sins in a private prayer to the Lord. The reason they confess to a priest is because the priest has sworn an oath to never use those sins you have confessed against you. Something that cannot be said to be true for the everyday man. Think attorney client privilege.
@@ForGnargniaYou pray to her and sing hymns to her. Both are forms of worship
Same old tired excuse. Veneration is worship. Anyone that says Catholics don't put Mary above Jesus is a liar so why are you lying?
@@brittonprice637 they absolutely do not put Mary above Jesus since they believe Jesus is God.
@@ForGnargnia JESUS WORKS MIRACLE AT MARY’S REQUEST
Pope John Paul II
My problem with the Catholics is that they call each other after this and father that. Jesus was very specific to call NO ONE father on this planet, there is only one Father and that is God. Another problem I have is the amount of their riches and lavish surroundings in their buildings, buildings, NOT churches. WE are the church and your body is the Temple. I am not judging these people but praying they find the Truth. Because if you know the Truth, the Truth will set you free. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus called Abraham FATHER Abraham. Maybe you don't know what he meant.
@@bridgefin I think it is in one of the Gospels where Jesus says: "Call no man on this planet father, there is but one Father who is in Heaven".
@@bridgefin Read Mathew 23.9
@@thomastessier4529
So the same Jesus who said "call no man "father" then goes on to call a man "father". Was Jesus confused? Drunk? Did he change his mind? Or do you fail to understand what Jesus meant in Matt 23:9? Paul called himself a father also. You don't understand what Jesus meamt.
GOD JESUS CHRISTS WORD IS TRUE IN THE KJV BIBLE
It is true! However make sure you are living it and applying it to your life. It is not just a head knowledge thing. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal deeper understanding of it and help you with His power.
So those that can’t read English don’t get Jesus’ true word… Interesting view I’d say.
If you read this post the KJV is for you. It( the original texts) , were also translated to many languages.
@@langleybeliever7789 The original languages used were Hebrew and Greek. What is also fascinating is that a number of Jewish scholars, 70 if I remember correctly, translated what we call the Old Testament into Greek for those Jewish people who didn’t read Hebrew.
@@jeffc5474 I believe that was a corrupted version, made in Alexandra. Well after the new testament was written.
Catholicism,was formed from some of the first "antichrists" (meaning "against (or instead of) Christ", 1 John 2:18-24), such as the Apostolic Fathers, the Early Church Fathers, that became a major part of the global false empire called Babylon the Great.(Rev 17:5; Note: Roman Emperor Constantine, reigned 306-337 C.E., gave the name of "catholic", which means "all-embracing; all-encompassing", to the so-called Christians at that time after 313 C.E., so that Catholicism embraced paganism liberally)
W. E. Vine (1873-1949 C.E.), English Biblical scholar, theologian and writer, said about "the church" accepting pagan doctrine and practices: "By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D. (just before Catholicism became the state religion in 381 C.E.) the churches had either departed from, or had travestied (or accepted a false representation of), certain doctrines of the Christian faith (that eventually became "the Holy Trinity, hell fire, immortality of the soul, purgatory, the cross, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, being immersed in politics and still be"in God's good graces")"
"In order to increase the PRESTIGE of the APOSTATE ecclesiastical system PAGANS were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to RETAIN their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was ADOPTED to stand for the cross of Christ.” (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, 1981 edition, Vol. 1, p. 256)
Counterfeit Christianity, that was given the name of "Catholic" by Constantine the Great, absorbed from pagan Rome "the Trinity" (in which the Roman Trinity was Jupiter, Juno and Minerva that "formed the triad whose worship was the central cult of the Roman state", Microsoft Encarta Reference Library 2005), developed "purgatory" or "purification of souls by fire" that the Catholic theologian Augustine proposed in the 5th century C.E., which is connected with the false belief in the immortality of the soul, and pushed the false belief of "hellfire".
The Catholic church, that came into existence in the 4th century C.E., created a clergy-laity class, with its priests, monks, Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, Pope (or "Pontifex Maximus" or "Supreme Priest", whereby pagan Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar was the first one in 12 B.C.E. and the pope is called "the Pontif ", see Jesus words at Matt 23:8-10 of NOT having religious titles, such as Reverend, Monsignor (meaning "my lord"), Father, "Pastor", etc), because of having ABANDONED true Christianity, as the apostle John wrote at 1 John 2:18-23 concerning the "antichrist" and is Christendom (that also includes Protestantism, and which Christendom is a major part of the "great prostitute" called Babylon the Great, the false religions of the world, see Rev 17:1-5):
"Young children, it is the last hour (last hour of what ? the last hour before the apostasy of the Christian congregation began in earnest when John as the last living apostle died, that Jesus foretold at Matt 13:24-26), and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even NOW many antichrists have appeared (in 98 C.E.), from which fact we know that it is the last hour (before true Christianity is almost snuffed out by "the weeds" of counterfeit Christianity, Christendom)."
"They went OUT FROM US (or from true Christianity, see Acts 20:29, 30), but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us (and stayed with "the truth", John 8:31, 32). But they went OUT so that it might be shown that not all are of our sort."
In the near future, when "the harvest" has ended and "the great tribulation" is about to begin (Matt 24:15-21), the counterfeit Christians of Christendom, "the weeds", will be collected together into "bundles to burn them up", while genuine Christians, "the wheat" pictured here, those who honors God (Mal 3:16-4:3) whose name is Jehovah (see Isa 12:2; 26:4, KJV), the "one faith" (Eph 4:5), are 'gathered into Jesus storehouse ' and given everlasting life while the counterfeit Christians of Christendom are destroyed.(Matt 13:30)
Mass is not a doctrine it is a practice. The Eucharist (Greek for Thanksgiving) is.
Jn 6:35 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.
Jn 6:47-48 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. I am that Bread of Life.
Jn 6:51 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.
Jn 6:53-58 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Lk 22:19-20 Jesus took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood, which is shed for you.
1 Cor 10: 16-17 The Cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the Blood of Christ? The Bread which we break, is it not the communion of the Body of Christ? For we being many are one Bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one Bread.
1 Cor 11:23-29 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also He took the cup, when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Testament in My blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as ye eat this Bread, and drink this Cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this Bread, and drink this Cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that Bread, and drink of that Cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
The doctrine of the Eucharist is indeed Biblical. Why is there any disbelief?
Latin has been the official language of the church since the fourth century. Latin was signified and the preferred language for Mass in Europe after the Reformation. There are 23 Eastern Catholic Churches that did not use Latin. No one goes to hell if they celebrate Mass in Latin, and never has.
Non-meat Fridays was and is (dispensation in the US) a commemoration of Jesus' death on the Cross. Fish is non-meat protein. Eating meat on Friday is a sin, not one that will put in hell.
The words of Paul echo the words of Jesus that once the words of Consecration are spoken, what appears to be bread and wine is indeed Jesus; because he said so. Do you or do you not believe that "For with God nothing shall be impossible?" (Lk 1:37). Catholics believe that God does this. There is also significant proof that this is true. It is Jesus who is being adored.
"Hocus pocus" is a sign of disbelief and blaspheme. To alter the words of Jesus, echoed by St. Paul, for whatever reason, is a grave misdeed. May the Lord have mercy of his soul.
PETER NEVER EVEN WENT TO ROME! - GOOGLE IT!!
If Peter did not go to Rome, why was he martyred there, crucified upside down? Why is he buried there (underneath St. Petr's Basilica), six feet from where he was buried, based on instructions passed on from the early church? Ireneaus of Lyon places Peter and Paul in Rome when Matthew wrote his Gospel to the Hebrews.
"Babylon" was the code word for Rome (1 Pt 5:13). It does not matter where or not The Bible says that Peter was in Rome. It also does not chronicle any thing about the other Apostles post the Ascension. John and James are the exception. James stayed in Jerusalem and John wrote from Patmos. Based on history, archeology and witness it would be very safe to say that Peter was in Rome.@@shanequa555
@@petewiggins3562 PAUL WAS IN ROME FOR YEARS AND SALUTED MANY PEOPLE IN ROME IN MANY OF HIS LETTERS OVER THOSE YEARS - DO YOU THINK IF PETER WAS THERE, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH AN IMPORTANT POSITION AS HEAD OF THE CHURCH OF ROME, PAUL WOULDN'T HAVE A LEAST ONCE INCLUDED HIM IN AT LEAST ONE OF HIS MANY LETTERS WHEN HE WAS GIVING SALUTATIONS TO THE BRETHERN IN ROME???
Like so many other things those scurrilous so-called "church fathers" made up and lied about centuries later, they lied about Peter too in order to give their new religio-political entity that turned into Vatican State an unquestioned authority - this is probably the most evil lie in history as it served to sabotage Christianity with evil criminals like the Borgia and DeMedici families that controlled the Vatican by selling the highest offices to the highest bidder - this is definitely something Jesus NEVER meant the church to be!
Read the Book of Acts and it shows that Peter and the other 11 apostles were Temple-going, Law-abiding JEWS who simply believed that Jesus was THEIR Jewish Messiah and King.
And it really wasn't until the end of his life that Peter understood that it was to PAUL that the Gospel of Grace had been given by Jesus Himself for the Church Age -
(which ends at the rapture, Daniel's 70th and last week of the Jews commencing - a 7 year Tribulation period ending at Armageddon and Jesus' return when He destroys the enemies of Israel who march against her and surround her - read Zechariah chapters 12 and 13!)
- illustrated when Peter writes in Second Peter 3:15 that Paul's Gospel of Grace ( Christ and Him crucified and that alone for salvation ) is indeed to be followed (even though he admits for someone steeped in Judaism his whole life) "there are within that things hard to understand", but warns of those who would twist that gospel as they do with other scripture, he added.
Whether or not Paul mentions Peter in his letters is immaterial to the historic fact that Peter taught, was martyred and is buried in Rome. After three years of ministry, Paul went to Jerusalem to visit Peter and spent fifteen days with him (Gal 1:18). He returned to Jerusalem after fourteen years to share and and insure he was preaching the proper message. Peter was among those present. Paul's list names Peter second due to James being the head of the Church in Jerusalem. In Antioch, Peter in a moment of weakness behaves improperly and Paul rightly admonishes him. This does not diminish his primacy.
It is Peter who Jesus gives the keys to the Kingdom. The sign of authority which God gave to Eliakim over the House Judah by giving him the keys to house of David (Is 22:20-24). It was a great moment of grace when Simon Peter proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ, Son of the living God (Mt 16:16). Another great moment of grace occurred when Jesus challenged the Apostles after the Bread of Life discourse (Jn 6:22-59). Jesus asked if they would abandon Him as did many of those listening. Peter replied “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God”(68-69). Peter was well aware of the grace that the Lord had bestowed upon him.
It was Jesus who prayed that Peter would be able to strengthen his brethren after His Passion, Death, resurrection and Ascension (Lk 22). It was Jesus who reinstated Peter as the head of the Apostles (Jn 21). It was Peter who called the assembly in Upper Room to select a replacement for Judas' abandoned bishoprick (Acts 1 KJV); the first to preach the Good News (Acts 2); performed the first Miracle in Jesus' name (Acts ), was sent to the house of Cornelius to convert and baptize the first Gentiles.
"Day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts" (Acts 2:46). The "breaking of the bread" within the context of an Agape meal (a form of Seder meal) to partake of the Eucharist. Paul expands on this in 1 Cor when problems arose (1 Cor 11:17-32).
A good number of those "scurrilous Church Fathers" were martyred for Christ. It seems improbable that they would have died for a lie. Some of them in 393 AD finalized the canon of the New Testament.
Two Borgias were popes: Callixtus III (1455-58), Alfonso de Borgia, was known for living an austere and charitable life. Alexander VI (1492-15030, Rodrigo Borgia, was less than an upstanding example of the office he held as bishop and cardinal. There is some questions about how he rose to the papacy. His reign was a mixture of good decisions and poor behavior. The Papal States were established in the eighth century when Pepin III, King of the Franks gifted Pope Stephen II the lands that became known as the Papal States. No money or favors exchanged hands.
Any clergy, Catholic or Protestant, who fails to live up to his calling does damage to church he is to be serving. He much more damage to himself. And is in great need of prayer. His behavior is a reflection on him, not his church.
@@petewiggins3562 Well, it seems like you're not going to be talked out of this false religion anytime soon - I was up in Minnesota for a while this summer and listened to a EWTN program while preoccupied with a task that took months, just to delve into the finer points - horrified, just horrified at all the handed down superstitious voodoo that the radio call-ins were talking about, only to have all that mess be validated by hosts who were priest. Talking about some supposed piece of cloth called a scapular give to some monk in the 13 century by Mary in a vision (demonic apparition) saying that "whoever dies wearing that "official" scapular will not suffer hellfire" - and if that isn't bad enough, this woman who called in asked the priest about "getting more of some type of 'points' toward praying someone out of purgatory if she did it in the name of, or adhered to this scapular-associated order" - it really is all just so sickening that the simple Gospel of Grace as given to Paul by Christ Himself has turned into this religio-political bizarre bureaucracy endorsing two millenia of pure superstitious bunk.
Of course, the fruit of it has always been rotten, but even recently with the syncretism and ecumenism of John Paul II having invited all those heathen religious leaders and witches to Assissi to place their idols on that Catholic altar there, and of course we see this present pope Francis inching closer to embracing the sodomite abomination.
There is a reason that for more than a hundreds years, all those great Catholic cathedrals in Europe are just basically dead museums now, there's a reason that Catholicism is so well insinuated with vile Marxist Liberation theology and evil santeria, there's a reason why everywhere that religion predominates the people are held back, socio-economically depressed and unstable as compared to the northwestern European Sola scriptura faith alone Gospel of Grace that eventually conquered the world with the British Empire and found the greatest force for mission work and liberty EVER, the USA.
If you refuse to come to the Truth and stick with that false religion, sadly you will only see it become more apostate and join forces with this last globalist evil empire of man - as it already does with so-called global warming, "social justice" and a whole other array of leftist globalist antichrist causes. Hopefully, you'll be able to get out of it before it's too late.
Can I ask you a question? I am not a catholic. I am a non denominational Christian, who is saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. I watch the Catholic exorcists on the armor of god channel on UA-cam. I have learned a lot from them. I am a person who was possessed by a demon and saved by Jesus, only lasted for minutes. It’s a long story. Since I have listened to the exorcists, I have learned a lot about Catholics and have learned to except them. I don’t know much about Catholics other then what I hear from the exorcists. Is it all catholic priests or just Roman Catholics?
Nobody is saved by Christ's blood. Evangelical Protestantism is just as unbiblical as Catholicism. Rom. 5:10 says that it is Christ's _life_ that saves, not His blood. Christ's blood can only reconcile a person to God.
Well john 3:16 is the key to salvation through Jesus Christ
“Beware of those who don’t believe
The host is in fact Jesus.”
St Ignatius of Antioch 107ad
Even Roman Catholicism didn't believe that until 1215 AD. Check your fake church's history. You should actually watch, and pay attention to the above video.
Honest question, just trying to learn, but i always thought it was out of reverence.....there was a time many years ago when i didn't feel right in the RCC, and have since left but, my family is devoted, going back many many generations on both sides, and sometime i question if i made the right choice to leave. I thought when we took the bread and drank the wine it was in remembrance of him, Our Lord and the sacrifice he made for us all. There is soooo much i do not agree with the RCC and all the changes made, but can anyone help enlighten me on this?
Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will 😂😂
raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh?
Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed."
Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him."
Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise?
Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13.
Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people.
Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"?
The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood.
See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism.
Is this what you think too?
At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them?
Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?"
He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood.
In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things.
Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life."
Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view?
See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding.
In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I.
Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood.
Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.
1 Corinthians 11 :20-34👍👍
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
The Sacrifice of God is past, present and future! It is eternal because it is outside of space and time. The sacrifice by Christ dying and suffering was done in space and time 2000 years ago, when Christ (God) chose to became man (incarnate), this is when He went inside space and time. The holy sacrifice of the Mass is a "sacrifice" being presented to us again on a daily basis, and this sacrifice is outside space and time in a mystical and spiritual way because God is not limited in space and time, EVERYTHING TO HIM is an eternal event, and this is the only sacrifice pleasing to God The Father.
Why do you think St. Paul was instructing the Corinthians about The Eucharist if it is not an eternal sacrifice or just a mere "symbol".
(1 Corinthians 11:27), Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
- And this was after Christ's Ascension.
Here is what Saint Ignatius said regarding:
Transubstantiation-
"They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, which suffered for our sins, and which the Father, of His goodness, raised up again. Those, therefore, who speak against this gift of God, incur death in the midst of their disputes."(Letter to the Smymaeans Chapter VII)
The Bodily ressurrection of Christ-
"For I know that after His [Christ's] ressurrection also He was still posessed of flesh, and I believe that he is so now [Keep in mind that he is writing years AFTER Jesus ascended to Heaven]. (Letter to the Smyrnaeans Chapter III)
Regarding Christ's Deity-
"Ye have done well in recieving Philo and RheusAgathopus as servants of Christ our God, who have followed me for the sake of God, and who give thanks to the Lord in your behalf, because you in every way have refreshed them." (Letter to the Smyrnaeans Chapter X)
Please don't say that this man wasn't inspired, or that this man was not in harmoney with the Bible. This man was a personal friend of Saint Peter, and studied Christ under Saint John. He wrote these letters on his way to Rome where he was EATEN BY LIONS. Saint Ignatius was the Second (or third) Bishop of Antioch, the First place where Christians were called Christians.
Saint Ignatius knew what the Apostles knew about Jesus, and his works come from the same time period as the Books of the Bible.
When a First Century Christian believes this, why don’t you, and why do you refer to these Martyrs as your First Century Christian Brothers
Paul wrote to the Corinthians: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" (1 Cor. 10:16). So when we receive Communion, we actually participate in the body and blood of Christ, not just eat symbols of them. Paul also said, "Therefore whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. . . . For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself" (1 Cor. 11:27, 29). "To answer for the body and blood" of someone meant to be guilty of a crime as serious as homicide. How could eating mere bread and wine "unworthily" be so serious? Paul’s comment makes sense only if the bread and wine became the real body and blood of Christ.
The RCC is a religion of men, Christian mixed with pagan beliefs. Read your Bible and study with a born again Christian. Learn the truth.
I am a Catholic, and My Lord and Savior makes himself know to me. I cry and tremble at his loving presence ,and as a Catholic I confess to FATHER GOD daily as the HOLY SPIRIT convicts me of sin. As a Catholic we only have to confess in a confessional once a year either during lent or advent, it has been proven of all Christian churches the Catholic church as the least suicides due to the confessional
Alot of people myself included always seem to overlook the Eastern Orthodox Church and that the RCC isn't the only church that can lay claim to being the original church, as they both were one for the 1st 1000 years until the great schism of 1054, Also I did the sinners prayer with all my faith and heart, but honestly after a while I started falling away again and that is what made me question the 5 Solas...so since I was "Saved" am I really always "Saved"?
They weren't the only church. That is what they teach. The Catholic church didn't even come into existence until the time of the emperor Constantine in the 300s a.d. Constantine converted to Christianity and then made Christianity the church of the state...a state Church...the Roman Catholic Church. He had pagan temples and priests converted to "Christian" churches. They incorporated their pagan religion in with the Christian beliefs.
A very good resource are the works of a former Jesuit Priest named Peter J. Doeswyck. His books are out of print and can be tough to come by, but they're worth tracking down; he gives a very scholarly but accessible treatment of the history and ever changing doctrines of the church of Rome, and how they differ from Biblical truths.
@@tessag.1079 That Constantine crap is a lie. If you disagree then show me the edict by which Constantine started a Church. The idea is laughable and contrary to all we know from history. All Constantine did was to stop killing us.
You: He had pagan temples and priests converted to "Christian" churches.
Me: Just like Paul did in Athens with the temple to the "unknown god".
The Greek Orthodox Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Assyrian Church of the East, all celebrated Mass, they called it Divine Liturgy, Qurbana Qaddisha, or Badarak, they may use leavened bread or unleavened bread, but they all did the Sacrifice. Do you think they are all wrong?
What is the purpose of doing (or attempting to do) what was done 2,000 years ago? A sacrifice that was physically done on the cross...an actual death...and an actual resurrection, which means that God the Father accepted that perfect sacrifice. Why would we need to re-perform that sacrifice? Jesus asked us to "remember" Him by the act of communion. I don't recall Him asking for us to re-sacrifice Him.
@@spacecoastz4026 This is your Protestant thinking to interpret the Bible. Assuming the Roman Catholic Church is wrong. Why do the Greek Orthodox Church, Russian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Serbian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Coptic Orthodox Church, Syrian Orthodox Church, Indian Orthodox Church, Assyrian Church of the East do the same Sacrifice over and over? You can go to these Churches and make appointments with the priest to ask them: “Hey man, Christ’s Sacrifice is finished. What are you doing here? Go home and eat hamburgers.” By the way, the Lutheran Church, the Anglican Church also do this Sacrifice. Do you think they are wrong too?
Jesus sacrificed himself on our behalf, then stated for all time "It is finished."
That's why he is not on our crosses. He's alive! He's seated at the Father's right hand 👑. Hallelujah 🙌
I’m not catholic but!
“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.””
1 Corinthians 11:23-25 NIV

1 Corinthians 1:18-24
Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

You don't understand scripture.
The communion is the sacrifice Jesus made. Jesus is the bread that came down from heaven, and eating that bread will give you eternal life.
Read the following verses in John and understand the communion
______________________________________________________________
John6:32-58
32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, always give us this bread.”
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty. 36 But I said to you that you have indeed seen Me, and yet you do not believe. 37 Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
Words to the Jews
41 So then the Jews were complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down out of heaven.” 42 And they were saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ‘I have come down out of heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop complaining among yourselves. 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me. 46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat from it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world also is My flesh.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, the one who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died; the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
_________________________________________________________
No one is attempting to re-sacrifice Jesus in the Catholic church. Jesus taught repeatedly in the verse above that you need to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life. It is done by consecrating the bread in wine on the altar of God in the Catholic church. Jesus did not only say "Do this in remembrance of me". This bread and wine is supposed to be more than a symbolic communion, as it is also a spiritual communion - Jesus is the head and the church is the body. Communion is to share in Christs body.
Many Protestant preachers like to make the claim that they preach Christ Crucified in the Catholic church, and so they want to preach Christ risen in the Protestant church.......
But the Bible teaches to preach Christ Crucified, and also Preach Christ risen. Because you cannot only preach Christ is risen, because Christ needed to suffer to make the sacrifice, and to be risen in the end.
The communion is also called the Sacrifice in the Catholic church, because John 6:51 Jesus is saying this bread is also his flesh that he is giving up (as a sacrifice). The bread of life - which is Jesus - is also the sacrifice, as Jesus himself describes in the above verses.
Protestantism has it completely wrong and watered down and basically abolished all of the sacraments as unnecessary for salvation. Yet Jesus clearly and succinctly and repeatedly explains how taking communion is an integral part of salvation in John 6.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To understand Jesus sacrifice you need to also look at the occult practices of the day. They were ritually sacrificing humans for the atonement for their own sins. God seperated the Hebrews from this practice giving them the law to only sacrifice animals and vegetables for the atonement for sins. Until Jesus comes along and by his sacrifice - God sacrificing himself for us - as the atonement for our sins...............
This act flipped the occult on its head, and saw the steady collapse of occultism across the world. Ritual human sacrifice was rampant across the world at the time.
Occultism used two gods, Baal as the god they sacrificed humans to, and ate their bodies, and drank their blood too. The second god was a female goddess for fertility and promiscuity like Ishtar/Libertas/Dianna which gave women liberty to be sexually promiscuous.............
Whereas as Mary replaces the the prostitute goddess Ishatar/Libertas/Isis and give women a place as long suffering dutiful servants. Protestantism has undone this to make Protestant women more sexually promiscuous. Mary is regarded as worthless in Protestantism.
Catholicism has Mary as an integral part of the story of salvation, and is an example of faithful service to God for women to follow. Protestantism rejects those notions and why Protestant women are the most whorish Christian women today.
Question! Currently listening to the Hallow app’s Bible in a year. All in all the audio is good and provides in-depth explanations at the end of each chapter. They recently talked about the transubstantiation and one of their defenses for it was if it was breaking the 1st commandment then why wouldn’t god have corrected them after all these years especially when they were the leaders in spreading christianity for the first 1500 years. Thought it was an interesting defense curious what others think?
I think father Mike is right. How can you say Jesus is wrong and going against the first commandment. Soo are you going to listen to man or Jesus? Jesus said he is the bread of life and actually broke bread and fed them. I am a Catholic so I definitely am biased. There have been so many Eucharistic miracles proving that this is the body and blood soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. I highly recommend looking into them, others. Plenty of UA-cam videos just to prove that this is Jesus Christ. I hope you look into them and have an even great intimacy with Jesus Christ. God bless you.
Why didn't he correct the Jews when they were the chosen people?
@@chancebreeding9464 it’s been some time since I posted this, giving me more time to read Gods word and gain clarity. And I agree with your question/statement. And to answer it God does correct us but do to freewill we can still fall into believing lies despite God sending us teaches to correct us. 🙏
You do you. Meanwhile, let others decide based on Scripture, history and the fruits of Jesus being alive in the Blessed Sacrament.
The Papal Magic cookie does nothing. Only faith in Christ Jesus saves.
According to Catholics, only membership in the Catholic faith can save a person. It's disheartening to realize that they worship their church. Church and Mary. And the Jesus they adore is either in the form of the wafer, or an image of His brutal death or a feminized image of Him, where He just looks like Mary with a beard.
Amen!
Some need a wafer some don’t, we all need the Savior of This world… we fall short!

@@kicnbac Every Catholic doctrine is in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture. That is because the Church and Scripture come from the same Font- Jesus Christ. Protestants reject Church doctrines because the particular word of the doctrine is not in Scripture. So by their logic then you would reject the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity! As for the particular doctrines, as we can see following, they are in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture:
Scripture and Tradition
“I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” (1 Cor. 11:2).“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)“You, then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Apostolic Succession
St Paul refers to his own Apostolic Succession and the next 3 Generations of that succession: “You(1st), then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men (2nd) who will be able to teach others (3rd) also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).All Christians are commanded to obey apostolic succession by St Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:2 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15. For biblical corroboration look at Acts 1:21-26, where you’ll see the apostles, immediately after Jesus’ Ascension, acting swiftly to replace the position left vacant by Judas’s suicide. They prayed for guidance, asking God to show them which candidate was “chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away.” After choosing Matthias they laid hands on him to confer apostolic authority. Look at 1 Timothy 1:6 and 4:14, where Paul reminds Timothy that the office of bishop had been conferred on him through the laying on of hands. Notice in 1 Timothy 5:22 that Paul advises Timothy not to be hasty in handing on this succession of authority to others. In Titus Paul describes the apostolic authority Titus had received and urges him to act decisively in this leadership role.

“‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’” (Matt. 7:21).“For he will render every man according to his works . . .” (Rom. 2:6-8).“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified” (Rom. 2:13).“What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?” (Jas. 2:14).“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead” (Jas. 2:17).“But some one will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. . . . Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? (Jas. 2:18-20).“You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (Jas. 2:24).
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’” (John 6:47-55).“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).“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” (1 Cor. 11:27).
The Papacy
“And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter . . .” (Matt. 10:1-2).“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven’” (Matt. 16:18-19).“‘Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren’” (Luke 22:31-32).“When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17).
Purgatorial Cleansing
“Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny” (Matt. 5:25-26).“Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:13-15).“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . .” (1 Peter 3:18-20).“But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . .” (Rev. 21:27).“For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin” (2 Macc. 12:44-45).
Honor Due to the Virgin Mary
“And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’” (Luke 1:41-43).“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name’” (Luke 1:46-49).
The Prayers of the Saints in Heaven
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely . . .” (Heb. 12:1).“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8).
John 6 and Leviticus 17 DESTROYS transubstantiation.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord; in the coastlands of the sea, give glory to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Isaiah 49:1
Listen to me, O coastlands, and give attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name. He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Matthew 12:18-21
Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets; a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory; and in his name the Gentiles will hope.

@@bibleman8010 Jesus was NOT talking about literally eating His flesh and drinking His blood - He was talking about picking up our cross and following HIM COMPLETELY. Jesus does NOT DIE AGAIN every time you attend one of your ritual masses. It is really sad how you keep twisting God's Words to fit into your man-made babylonian false religion.
@@uscgmom9796 really now he never mentioned the cross"there isn't anything about the "real presence" of Christ in the Last Supper" - you claim that it is simply a memorial? 😆😆
In the greek translation of the Old testament, in (Leviticus 24:7) & (Numbers 10:10) , the same greek word is used as in (Luke 22:19 & 1 Corinthians 11:24-25) for "remembrance" (anamnésis). And it doesn't simply mean to remember; it refers to the memorial offering of sacrifice, a memorial offering to God. (Leviticus 24:7) "And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD."
(Numbers 10:10) "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God."
And according to Jesus in Luke 22:19-20, the bread that is now become his body (his real PRESENCE) and the wine that is now become His blood is to be a memorial sacrificial meal for the New Covenant for the forgiveness sins.
Matthew 26:26-28: Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body." And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant,which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins"
Remember the two disciples"On the road to Emmaus'? The two disciples saw Christ literally, yet they did not recognize Him since Christ appeared under a different form (hint, hint) - and it wasn't until Christ took bread, gave thanks, broke it and gave it to them that [their eyes were opened] [and they recognized him]! Then in [Luke 24:35] it says they told the story of how they [recognized Jesus] [WHEN] [HE BROKE THE BREAD]. (NOTE: the same word for "breaking of the bread" in Luke 24:35 (when they recognized Jesus) is the same word used in Acts 2:24).
In John 6 Jesus said, ""Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me."
Those who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. There will be saved people from every denomination, and damned people from every denomination. Don't judge. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Very true. But the Blessed Sacraments are a huge gift to us to help us through the spiritual battle which is life.
I find it so sad that so many Christians just don't know what they're missing.
God bless them.
Judge righteously, & this is righteous judgement - following the Truth humbly
Protestants need to remove the log from their own eye before pointing out the splinter In Catholicism’s.
You're confusing the words 'judgment' and 'correction'. Two separate issues. 2nd Timothy 3:16 the Holy Spirit had Apostle Paul write:
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
So we followers of Lord Jesus Christ are showing you God's correct discernment from the Holy Spirit, not shoving a plank into lost religious-following people's eyes.
They are only trying to help you see the light. Actually read the Bible and compare what is in there with what the Catholic Church teaches. There are so many man made rules. The more I learn about the Catholic Church the more horrified I am by the apostasy.
There’s a whole forest in catholicism
My mom was a Catholic and she knew as a child that it was the devil’s church!!
All i know was i have to pray Holy Rosary everyday and so if I’ll do rosary and pray to Mary always, Jesus will hear my prayers.
And if my prayers will be answered, i will go back to Marys statue to give gratitude by paying a lightning candle, pray and thank to it for answering my prayers. As well as many saints that in prayed if i lost something.
I was born and raised this way, superstitions, ritual mass and traditions and pray to 150 or more of Mary statues.
I am so glad that i knew the truth before it was too late for me. I was like ả criminal in the eyes of my family for converting into born again Christian but knowing the Way, the Truth and the Life and that all, make my sleep and life peaceful. It took 41 yrs of being stubborn and hard life and darken heart to woke up.
I’m so thankful God the Father draws me back to Him and so I accepted Lord Jesus as my personal saviour. Not the statue of Him and statue of many Saints and all types of Marys but of Jesus alone.
In summary: the Rosary is 65% directly to Jesus and about him. It is 35% honouring and requesting prayers from Mary, his Mother.
88% of the Rosary is directly from the Bible, 12% is from the wisdom of early Christians.
There are two layers, the meditation layer and the physical layer.
The Meditation Layer
Each decade of the Rosary focuses on a section of Scripture as a meditation. These are called the mysteries. Out of 20 meditation decades (5 are done each day) 18 of them follow Jesus through the Bible and two are related to Mary (Assumption and Coronation).
Meditations are 20 Mysteries: 18 Excerpts from the Bible (0.9) + 1 Based on the Bible (Coronation) (0.05) + 1 From the catholic tradition (Assumption) (0.05).
That is:
Jesus 90%
Mary 10%
(95% is right out of the Bible)
he Physical Layer
The Rosary starts with the Apostles Creed which is accepted in most denominations. It is 15 lines long, all of them scriptural.
The “Our Father” is repeated before each decade (6 times). It is approximately 11 lines of text (in most Bibles). That is 36 lines of “Jesus” text.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
(Said after each decade)” is said 6 times, This is 4 lines long for a total of 24 lines
O my Jesus, forgive us of our sins.
Save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls into heaven,
especially those in most need of thy mercy.
(Said after each decade)” This is said 5 times and is four lines long for 20 Lines.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. (Luke 1:28)
Blessed art thou among women (Luke 1:41-42a ,Luke 1:48) ,
Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus (Luke 1:42b)
Holy Mary, Mother of God (Luke 1:43)
Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
The “Hail Mary” is 5 lines long but besides being mostly direct Scripture, line 3 is specifically about Jesus. The Hail Mary is said 53 times. Here’s the math.
15 lines of the Creed + 36 lines of the Our Father + 24 lines of the Glory be + 20 lines of the “Oh my Jesus”+ 53 x 1 line addressed to Jesus in the Hail Mary = 148 lines "to Jesus"
53 Hail Maries x 4 lines addressed to Mary = 212 lines "to Mary" (106 excerpts from the Bible. All of them -212- based on it)
36 lines from Our Father + 106 from Hail Mary + = 142 excerpts from the Bible (almost a copy of the passages)
15 lines from the Creed + 36 from Our Father + 212 from Hail Mary + 24 from Glory be (Fil. 4,20) = 287 lines based on the Scripture.
By doing the Rosary in the physical layer we pray: 148 lines "to Jesus" + 212 lines "to Mary"= 360 in total
212/360=0.59 Thus, 59% of the physical layer is requesting of prayer and honouring addressed to Mary. (29% of them are strictly excerpts from the Bible 106/360=0.29)
148/360=0.41 Thus, 41% of the physical layer is addressed to Jesus directly. (10% of them are strictly excerpts from the Bible 36/360=0.1)
142/360=0.39. Thus, the all physical layer is configured by 39% of prayers which are excerpts from the Bible.
287/360=0.80 Thus, the all physical layer is configured by 80% of Bible based prayers.
The physical layer is, in summary:
41% Jesus (10% Bible Text)
and 59% Mary (29% Bible Text)
39% Textual excerpts from the Bible
80% of Bible based prayers
You don’t need R. Beads to pray, just get down on your knees and pray to God the Father, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit will help you. Hail Mary is blasphemy.

Every Catholic doctrine is in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture. That is because the Church and Scripture come from the same Font- Jesus Christ. Protestants reject Church doctrines because the particular word of the doctrine is not in Scripture. So by their logic then you would reject the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity! As for the particular doctrines, as we can see following, they are in complete harmony with Sacred Scripture:
Scripture and Tradition
“I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you” (1 Cor. 11:2).“So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)“You, then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Apostolic Succession
St Paul refers to his own Apostolic Succession and the next 3 Generations of that succession: “You(1st), then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men (2nd) who will be able to teach others (3rd) also” (2 Tim. 2:1-2).All Christians are commanded to obey apostolic succession by St Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:2 and 2 Thessalonians 2:15. For biblical corroboration look at Acts 1:21-26, where you’ll see the apostles, immediately after Jesus’ Ascension, acting swiftly to replace the position left vacant by Judas’s suicide. They prayed for guidance, asking God to show them which candidate was “chosen to take the place in this apostolic ministry from which Judas turned away.” After choosing Matthias they laid hands on him to confer apostolic authority. Look at 1 Timothy 1:6 and 4:14, where Paul reminds Timothy that the office of bishop had been conferred on him through the laying on of hands. Notice in 1 Timothy 5:22 that Paul advises Timothy not to be hasty in handing on this succession of authority to others. In Titus Paul describes the apostolic authority Titus had received and urges him to act decisively in this leadership role.
Faith and Works in response to free saving Grace
“‘Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven’” (Matt. 7:21).“For he will render every man according to his works . . .” (Rom. 2:6-8).“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified” (Rom. 2:13).“What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?” (Jas. 2:14).“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead” (Jas. 2:17).“But some one will say, ‘You have faith and I have works.’ Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. . . . Do you want to be shown, you foolish fellow, that faith apart from works is barren? (Jas. 2:18-20).“You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (Jas. 2:24).
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
“‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed’” (John 6:47-55).“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, ‘This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant of my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Cor. 11:23-26).“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” (1 Cor. 11:27).
The Papacy
“And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter . . .” (Matt. 10:1-2).“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven’” (Matt. 16:18-19).“‘Simon, Simon, behold Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren’” (Luke 22:31-32).“When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ A second time he said to him, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, ‘Do you love me?’ And he said to him, ‘Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep’” (John 21:15-17).

“Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny” (Matt. 5:25-26).“Each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:13-15).“For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit; in which he went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly did not obey . . .” (1 Peter 3:18-20).“But nothing unclean shall enter it [heaven] . . .” (Rev. 21:27).“For if he were not expecting that those who had fallen would rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead. But if he was looking to the splendid reward that is laid up for those who fall asleep in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Therefore he made atonement for the dead, that they might be delivered from their sin” (2 Macc. 12:44-45).

“And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’” (Luke 1:41-43).“And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name’” (Luke 1:46-49).
The Prayers of the Saints in Heaven
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely . . .” (Heb. 12:1).“And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints” (Rev. 5:8).
Incredibly well put together, brother!
Irrefutable when you put it all together like that. Still, there are none so blind as those who will not see..
God bless.
I see from what ‘dougy’ wrote - Mary said, my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Which means that Mary also was a sinner as she needed a saviour. The only one sinless was Jesus.

And those few lines are your answer?
You must be nearly Catholic yourself 😉
To reach Catholics- (or ANYONE) with the Gospel, include scripture about salvation, sin, the necessity of being Born Again and Jesus deity, death and resurrection. John 1:12 "Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-" 1 Cor. 15:2-4 "By this gospel you are SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of FIRST IMPORTANCE: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...." BELIEVE the Good News (Jesus has paid it all), REPENT of sin, RECEIVE Jesus as Savior and His Perfect Righteousness as a GIFT (not MY good works, church, sincerity....) then be Baptized!
Guess Catholics Never herd about being born again 😜😜
The Council of Trent declared:
“ . . . if they [men] were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just . .
He laid down the conditions of salvation thus: "He that believeth and is baptized," said the Son of the Living God, "shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned" (Luke 16:16). Here, then, Our Blessed Lord laid down the two conditions of salvation: Faith and Baptism. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned - or is damned
Catholics not Born again Justin who died for his faith said in 151 A.D.
“As many as are persuaded and believe that what we [Christians] teach and say is true . . . are brought by us where there is water and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated. For, in the name of God the Father . . . and of our Savior Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit [Matt. 28:19], they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said,‘Unless you are born again, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:3]” (First Apology 61).
Around 190 A.D., Irenaeus, the bishop of Lyons, wrote, “And [Naaman] dipped himself . . . seven times in the Jordan’ [2 Kgs. 5:14]. It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but [this served] as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as newborn babes, even as the Lord has declared: ‘Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5]” (Fragment 34).
In the year 252 A.D., Cyprian, the bishop of Carthage, said that when those becoming Christians “receive also the baptism of the Church . . . then finally can they be fully sanctified and be the sons of God . . . since it is written, ‘Except a man be born again of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God’ [John 3:5]” (Letters 71[72]:1).
Augustine wrote, “From the time he [Jesus] said, ‘Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven’ [John 3:5], and again, ‘He that loses his life for my sake shall find it’ [Matt. 10:39], no one becomes a member of Christ except it be either by baptism in Christ or death for Christ” (On the Soul and Its Origin 1:10 [A.D. 419]).
Augustine also taught, “It is this one Spirit who makes it possible for an infant to be regenerated . . . when that infant is brought to baptism; and it is through this one Spirit that the infant so presented is reborn. For it is not written, ‘Unless a man be born again by the will of his parents’ or ‘by the faith of those presenting him or ministering to him,’ but, ‘Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit’ [John 3:5]. The water, therefore, manifesting exteriorly the sacrament of grace, and the Spirit effecting interiorly the benefit of grace, both regenerate in one Christ that man who was generated in Adam” (Letters 98:2 [A.D. 408]).
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of
Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
His only Son, our Lord Who was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He
arose again from the dead; He ascended into
Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion
of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection
of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.😁😁
Pray for my dad, his name is Paul…… he is so extremely blind. And his eyes won’t open! I show him scripture after scripture and he WILL NOT accept the Bible or believe it. He just says the Catholic Church is the church Jesus started and all this other crap…..it angers me so much and causes me so much pain as well…… I just have to accept that he may never see. But I know time is coming to an end. We are in the end days…..

Assuming that you were once Catholic, you no longer have Jesus in the Eucharist. Your faith system would be rejected by the early church as heretical.

Anyways, you’re allowed to think of me as you wish and I take no offense at it or feel no need to debate. I believe it would be fruitless…. I would be arguing a work the Holy Spirit did inside of me and how much he changed me from depression and anxiety and a complete spirit of fear, to boldness and love and joy. You could never see that…. Unless the Lord opens your eyes. I can’t show that. Because you didn’t know me before the Holy Spirit changed me and has indwelled me.. I’m called to share the Gospel with the Lost and that’s what I’ll continue to do, it’s the Lords job to change the heart… I love you and I truly hope you can come out of that great whore the Catholic Church. It’s demonic and will send you to hell…. I mean that with all concern for your soul…. Read the Gospel of John and ask the Lord to show you himself cause he will….. much love friend and prayers 😊🙏🏼❤️👊🏼
Your a liar. The faith is that the priest is symbolic of Jesus. The wafer is sybolic of the bread. It's a reconstruction of the last supper. Jesus said do this in memory of me. And so we do as commanded. I checked everything about the Church. It's a biblical institution. You really want to know the facts read the Catechism of the Catholic Church To be sure you may just be a convert. GODS PEACE be with you always.
If you ever want to know which Catholics do NOT read the Bible (KJB or any of the plethora of versions and perversions) look at them walking in to attend mass.
There’s a reason the Catholic Church burned translators of the Bible alive at the stake. They knew when people could read for themselves, the gig would be up. As further verified in what Doc quoted from their rule book. Believe what we tell you to believe or else.
The only one with the authority to do this is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Isaiah wrote that hell enlarges itself every day. We should be praying that the Lord opens the eyes of more that follow these lies into hell, that they would come to know the truth, that Jesus Himself is the only way to salvation, by the power of God, through the drawing by conviction of sin of the Holy Spirit.
In Acts, when Peter preached, it states the men were pricked in their heart; that was the Holy Spirit revealing they were lost; so they cried out what to do. And Peter told them to believe on Christ. And those that did became a child of God.
Catholics don’t want people to know this simple truth.
Eating blood is an abomination to God the Lord.
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away?
Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Hebrews 10:26-29 “For IF WE SIN DELIBERATELY after receiving knowledge of the truth, THERE NO LONGER REMAINS A SACRIFICE FOR SINS, BUT A FEARFUL PROSPECT OF JUDGMENT, AND A FURY OF FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES………..HOW MUCH MORE PUNISHMENT DO YOU THINK WILL BE DESERVED BY THE MAN WHO HAS SPURNED THE SON OF GOD, AND PROFANED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT BY WHICH HE HAS SANCTIFIED, AND OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT OF GRACE”.🤢🤢

Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view?
See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding.
In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well.

Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood.
Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.😒😒
I would ask you do you think the apostle John knew his stuff, I like to think he did...and if he did, why did he teach his students Polycarp and Ignatius of Antioch that Christ's body is truly present in the Eucharist, and that it is truly the flesh and blood of the savior Jesus Christ?
Pope needs cleansing too!
He is awful...
Yes, he’ll be thrown into Hell alright!
I know this is old, but let me slap down just his first point: Christ himself said that the days of his return would be: "LIKE UNTO the days of Noah...". That tells us that Jesus could COMPARE things and explain that comparison to others. What did Jesus Christ say to his Apostles at the Last Supper? Did he say "Drink of this wine, for it is like unto my blood, and eat of this bread for it is like unto my flesh."? NO, NOTHING REMOTELY LIKE THAT! Christ said(MATT26) "26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; THIS IS MY BODY.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 THIS IS MY BLOOD of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
No need to argue with me. I am neither a Theologian nor a Bible Scholar. You can argue with Jesus Christ all you want about the specific intention of his statement, but as for me, I will take the Son of God at his word the bread "IS MY BODY" and the wine "IS MY BLOOD". Same as Martin Luther; Egos thinking they can rewrite Biblical History because they can't seem to grasp concepts like "Communion of Saints", "Mary as an Intercessor", or "Transubstantiation".Things the Church has understood for almost two thousand years. I'll take one: Think about Transubstantiation like Jesus taught regarding Adultery. If you Covet someone's wife, you are still committing Adultery in your heart. Transubstantiation of the Host and Wine is real. Still looks and tastes like wine and wafers, but its essential essence has changed, and its present in the heart of everybody participating in Communion
How should we, in your opinion, interpret Luke 22:19. Jesus broke bread and said “this is by body which will be given up for you. Do this in memory of me.”
Jesus was showing them an allegory. This happened at the Passover dinner before Jesus was crucified either Wed. or Thurs night - NOT Friday - there were TWO Sabbaths that week. Matthew wrote it in Greek. The Greek word he used in chapter 28 verse 1 was the word for SABBATHS. Jesus was showing His disciples an allegory.

The Catholic Church came up with the transubstantiation thing in the Middle Ages. Before that, they admitted that the wine was just wine. So, were they lying about Jesus and Christianity before they changed the rules or afterward? Why were the early church and the apostles acting like the Protestants? There was no such thing as the 'Eucharist' in original Christianity either, or the original Church. That ritual also came much later and it borrows very heavily from paganism. You'll notice that the monstrance that holds the silly little wafer is usually made to look like a golden sun, because it's about practicing sun worship, and hiding the Mystery Babylon religion in plain sight. Lucifer is known as the bringer of light.
If you study the history, you'll learn that almost nothing that the Catholic Church does now dates back to the original Christian church. Of course, if Roman paganists actually read the Bible, they would already know how much of what they do is condemned.
Absolute nonsense! You obviously have no clue on what the Catholic Church actually teaches. Cherry picking a few seemingly contentious documents of the Church is a dishonest approach to make an invalid claim.
I went from agnosticism to Protestantism but soon became disillusioned with it. It teaches false doctrines (eg, salvation thru faith alone) and amounts to fake Christianity.
I learnt that Christianity is Catholicism ... and has been from the very beginning.
If your church is not Catholic (or at least an Eastern Orthodox), you're in a fake church.
Jesus gave the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" to Peter (Matt 16:19) - ie, to the Church - not to a book.
Their system would collapse if they acknowleged 'Sola Scriptura", so they fight it tooth and nail.
SS is man made, not biblical, unless you can prove otherwise!
There is no sound argument against Catholicism.
Burning men alive at the stake for translating the Bible is a rather sound indictment.
Why do so many Christians & religions always fall back into anti Catholicism? As a multi-generational Catholic with a personal relationship with Jesus, from time to time I am drawn to those who genuinely and actively study the Bible. Your insight has drawn me to view your channel on a few occasions. Ah! Like so many others, your insecurity in following your own faith and belief has led you to fall by your denouncement of others. It is God's right to judge ONLY! God bless! I am so disappointed in you.
Because we believe Catholicism is a cult and the people following it are damned to hell. It is not insecurity (you are projecting) but the need to tell the others the truth..."to come out of her".
The Priest does not change the bread into the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit does that. The Mass is a celebration of the memorial of the death and resurrection of Jesus which he told us to do at the Last Supper. You don't even use the proper Bible. Your Bible is missing 7 books. If it makes you feel better, the Church (Body of Christ) is the sinless one, made up of sinners. All the clergy from the Pope down must admit they are sinners. Christ did say his Church would suffer great trials and persecutions. It will only be perfected in heaven. So you are doing what Christ said.
If in your point of view the Catholic’s celebration of the mass is wrong, my question then is, how would you celebrate Jesus proclamation of eating His body and drinking His blood and the remembrance there-off ?

Jesus did say that anyone who believes in him [as being the Son of God] will have everlasting life (John 6:47). _"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."_ (John 3:16) and _"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."_ (Romans 10:9)
However, Jesus also said, according to Matthew 7:21 _"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ "_ In Luke 6:46, we read, _"Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?"_ and verse 49 _"But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell-and great was its destruction!”"_
Jesus told us, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15). His commandments, given as two great commandments, were a summarization of Yahweh's ten commandments, the first four of which pertain to our love of God and the last six of which pertain to our love for other human beings - which is confirmed plainly enough in Matthew 22:37-40 and in Romans 13:9. Clearly, our keeping of the moral laws of God is important to Jesus and, to him, our doing so is proof of our love for him. Moreover, that such good works serve as proof of faith in Christ is made clear in James 2:20 and 26 who tells us that faith, without works, is a useless or dead faith.
So, let us consider love, and faith, and belief in Christ, and in his purpose and consequence of having come and died for the remission of our sins as the sort of altogether integrated and irrefragible sense of belief that we as Christians must hold.
Now, Satan knows that he cannot eradicate Christianity. Therefore, he has sought to infiltrate it with demonic doctrines, to lead the faithful to apostasy. This is just as true in the Protestant realm, mainly in the form of encouraging the preaching and practice of lawlessness. The commonly-heard catch-phrase, _"The Law was nailed to the cross"_ is the motto for some Protestants who think they do not need to follow the ten commandments and God's/Christ's other moral precepts and may engage in whatever licentious behavior they like but still be confident in thinking that they remain saved: An ignorant and spiritually dangerous idea which induces one into a sort of dead faith.
Whereas, in Roman Catholicism, Satan also injects lawlessness, but it is done in a dogmatic, regimented way. It is actually built into the religious practices. It comes in the form of rituals _designed_ to specifically and repetitively violate certain of God's commandments and precepts. For example, the second Biblical commandment (against idolatry, which, arguably, God abhors the most) which the Papacy has [ (Correction:) _diminished the emphasis of by changing it from being its own numbered commandment to a bit of language tacked-on to the end of the first commandment in the Catechism, which, for the sake of brevity, is often omitted in other sources_ ], to allow for the sin to be committed unawares by congregants under the name of "adoration" of statues, relics, the crucifix, the eucharistic host wafer, etc.; communication with the dead, which God regards as abominable, through routine prayers to Mary and Saints; the violation of the sanctity of the Sabbath (the Biblical fourth commandment) by changing it to Sunday (a violation which most Protestants also engage in not realizing it was a Catholic invention); the regard for Mary as an intercessor or mediatrix, which usurps Christ's position in that respect as sole mediator, etc. The list goes on.
I hope you can see that this is not an attack on you as a Catholic. I only hope to have answered the question I gather you were asking; and that from a Protestant perspective of my own that may not jibe with that of most others. I'm not here to agree with other Protestants' lines of thoughts. I try to base what I believe on God's word.

V. "YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF A GRAVEN IMAGE . . ."

I hope you can see that this is not an attack on you as a Catholic

@@mytwocents777 In fact 1 Tim. 2:5-6 says: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”1👍👍
Now let’s take a look at what St. Paul wrote in the preceding four verses: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” (1 Tim. 2:1) St. Paul is telling Timothy and all disciples of Jesus Christ that they are supposed to offer supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanks on behalf of all men. In short, Paul says Christians are to play a mediating role.
Next verse, picks up after “for all men”: “For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” (1 Tim. 2:2) St. Paul is making clear, not only are we to make prayers of intercession, supplication, etc. on behalf of all mankind, but even those in authority over us, such as kings! Why does St. Paul exhort Timothy and all Christisns to play this mediating role?
Verse 3: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” (1 Tim. 2:3) Who is “God our Saviour”? Jesus Christ, of course. Paul is saying quite explicitly that the mediation he is exhorting us to make “is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,” in the sight of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
So now we get to verse 4, which tells us why Jesus Christ would desire this from us: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”(1 Tim. 2:4) The reason we ought to make these various prayers of mediation is because Jesus Christ desires, “all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
And now we come to verse 5, not cherry-picked out of context but within the context of St. Paul’s first letter to Timothy, chapter 2, verses 1-6: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Tim. 2:5-6)
In short, 1 Tim. 2:1-6 instructs all Christians to mediate on behalf of all mankind through different types of prayer, which are offered through the one mediator Jesus Christ. And in order to assuage any doubt about this, St. Paul adds: “Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” (1 Tim. 2:7-8)
Catechism Mediatrix” is explained.
For no creature could ever be counted as equal with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer. Just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by the ministers and by the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is really communicated in different ways to His creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source.
The Church does not hesitate to profess this subordinate role of Mary. It knows it through unfailing experience of it and commends it to the hearts of the faithful, so that encouraged by this maternal help they may the more intimately adhere to the Mediator and Redeemer.
The Church’s perspective of Mary as subordinate, as any member of the faithful would be😎😎So much for your ignorance
@@bibleman8010 Thank you for the information. I have edited the statement in the original post and marked it as a correction. There was no intention of lying here.

❤ FLEEEE___CATHOLIC...I S M
I was in a Catholic Church for my uncle's funeral. I was getting the willies
I had the same experience when my sister’s mother-in-law died: the service was cold, generic, and depressing. The Catholic ‘church” mandated a generic service with no personalization: the service followed a strict formula and could have been anyone’s funeral. There was no presence of Yehovah God there.
@@bibleman8010calling a man Satan. Yeah, you’re pathetic
One only need note the graven imagery, trinkets, costumes, and funny hats to just know it doesn't jive with what should be comfortable, much more the complete departure from scripture. Too bad even pretenses are ok with God, not me.
Amen
Samson was against the pilistine system of things
When confronting the Roman Catholics who pray to Mary, they will always deny and say they don't, they are just asking Mary to pray for them. Just show them this :
Act of Consecration to Mary
My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.
They can't deny, they are indeed praying to Mary. This is not asking her to intercedes, this is in actual fact praying to a creature created by the Creator. It's an abomination act.
Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession, here are 2 cases.
First. At Jesus' transfiguration, Moses & Elijah were seen talking with Him. In OT, Elijah had been bodily carried to Heaven, Moses had died. When Peter volunteered to build tents, he was obviously seeing them each in bodily form. So there IS life after death.
Second. When Jesus spoke in Parables, He used fictitious figures in His teaching moments like the Prodigal Son, Father & Brother who had no names. However, in the Living Account of the Rich Man(RM) and Beggar Lazarus(BL) - Luke 16:19-31-, the historical Abraham and the BL were named while Jesus did not "care to remember '' the RM's name. In this Parable, Jesus declared that both the RM & BL had died, had been judged and assigned to their places - BL carried by Angels to Abraham's bosom, the RM sent to a place of torment. Despite being dead, there was a request for intercession by the RM to Father Abraham for his brothers. This is the second case of Life after Death, and both cases involve Jesus.
Mary is superior to both Moses & Abraham. Moses committed murder and was disobedient at Meribah in the desert that disqualified him from entering the Promised Land. Abraham lied about his wife Sarah being his sister, and committed adultery with Hagar, his servant. Mary was " full of grace " with no biblical faults ascribed to her. And Mary is the mother of Jesus and thus the most excellent intercessor between us and Jesus, God & Judge ( John 5:22).
While we pray to God we also have to use human helps like doctors, farmers etc.
Possessed persons and their families cannot help themselves without the aid of exorcists.
Jesus loved & honored His mother Mary and would therefore treat her better than the error-prone Moses & Abraham. Humanly speaking, we all love and " adore " our Mothers - not worship them.
====== Jesus loved perfectly and also " adored " His Mother. =====
Jesus also commanded us to love as He loved, so Catholics love and honour Mary who is as living as Jesus, Moses & Abraham. In her varied apparitions, she calls for prayer, penance and love of her Son, Jesus. (Check the Internet for Mary's picture over a Coptic church in Zeitoun, Egypt for 3 years in 1968-71).
On Judgment Day, it will go well for Catholics who loved and honoured His Mother. Protestants will not be so blessed.
Catholics believe in a Living God for whom all people are alive, not dead. Catholics not only believe but also are sure that Mary is alive for she has appeared in many places and at different times to many people. - By their fruits you will know them -. Mary has pointed her followers to imitate Jesus - Do whatever He tells you.
In 1917, she appeared to 3 children in Fatima, Portugal and urged the following prayer - O my Jesus, forgive our sins, save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most in need of Thy mercy. - ( This is a prayer that no demon would urge ). At Fatima, she promised beforehand a miracle, and later on in the same year in October 1917 she fulfilled it which is known as The Miracle of the Sun ( you can view more info on the Internet )
She also appeared at Guadalupe, present day Mexico City - in December 1531, and converted and stopped the people from practicing child sacrifice.
( Note : At Guadalupe, Mary's photo was miraculously imprinted on the native man's Tilma - or cloak - which was made of cactus fibres, that normally has a life expectancy of 50 years at the most. However it is almost 500 years later and that Tilma is still intact and kept in the shrine just outside Mexico City )
Mary has been appearing in Medjugorje, Bosnia to 6 people, then teenagers in the 1980's, and still is. Her constant message and urging is to pray and fast for the conversion of sinners. I have personally visited that place and met one of them, and am totally convinced of her - she is a married woman now - sincerity.
So if you do not believe that Jesus will send His mother to visit us, - no necromancy here - then you are the poorer for it. Note - In all her appearances, Mary has been seen and described as a beautiful lady - sometimes sad when she urged prayers for sinners - also glad at times, but mostly as a concerned human mother. Necromancy is the demon spirits imitating the voices of the dead, but who make no appearance. Later, the demons demand payment for their " services'' usually in multiplication of the value of such service. Mary, on the other hand, only asks for prayers for the conversion of sinners.
In Lourdes, France one can see the dozens of walking canes left by grateful clients who requested her intercession and were able to walk after.
In Montreal, at St Joseph's Oratory, there are also a multitude of canes and walking sticks also left behind by clients grateful for St Joseph's intercession.
(( continued on Page 2 due to length ))
(( Part 2 )) Regarding why Catholics seek Mary's intercession = continued
Jesus is God and Judge and if He stated that the dead Abraham and the rich man could be speaking to each other, He was confirming that there is Life after death. Moreover, Jesus commanded us to love as He loved. He certainly loved His mother and honoured her in fulfillment of the Mosaic Law,
===== >>> Again, humanly speaking we all love and " adore " our mothers - not worship them.
Jesus also loved PERFECTLY as well as " adored " His mother Mary.

So, my wife grew up catholic and her aunt is an amazing christian woman but is 100% catholic. We've had heated debates over this topic, so thank you for posting this video. I wasnt educated enough to make a valid argument against the catholic church.
what was this valid Argument
@@bibleman8010Right?! He didn’t make a single argument. “Can you believe they believe that?” in a smug, self-righteous tone, is not an argument.
@@jasongrange4376 they never do well at least he admitted he wasn't educated which is an understatement
You have made no legitimate argument here.
You have only demonstrated your ignorance.
The mass is descended directly from what is mentioned in Mathew 26:28
Do you even understand why Catholics declare I believe in One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church?
What exactly does it say in those verses? i mean what exactly does it say? 🤷♂️
Mt 26:26. "Take, eat. This is my body.". ..over analysis by Catholic theology. But your commentary is also greatly lacking.
" Take/eat, this is MY BODY '; " Let there be light......AND IT WAS !!" Jesus spoke and it is so !!!
Jesus taught that. You contradict Christ's words. You blaspheme Christ's teaching.
Empty vessels make the most noise
From conception the “Church” was an OFFICIAL sect within Judaism. When you read Acts 1 and if you are familiar with Halakhah Law you will immediately notice that the Church is a legal entity WITHIN Judaism. There are 3 requirements which are met.
Firstly, notice that there are 120 members in this synagogue. Why is this important? It is the exact number of persons in the Halakhah regulations to form a full fledged synagogue. Judaism and Catholicism were born on Shavuot/Pentecost. To this day the Catholic Conclave has a maximum limit of 120 electors to elect the Pope.
Secondly next according to Halakhah regulations there must be a "beit din" (Hebrew court) formed. We see that there is a beit-din and it draws lots and Matthias a disciple is chosen to take over Judas bishopric (episkopen). The first example of Apostolic Succession. So two of the three requirements are met.
The third requirement is that there must be a NASI (prince/temporal) and an AB (father/spiritual) appointed. Curiously Peter is filling both these positions in this beit din. Why?
In 190 BC the Kohan Gadol (jewish high-priest) fell into apostasy and beit-din gadol (Hebrew court) cast a vote of no confidence splitting the Kohan Gadol into two offices the "NASI" and the "AB" within the Beit Din Gadol.
Fast forward to Matt16, in this new Beit Din Gadol (70 disciples) Christ has placed His confidence in Peter (the first AB/father/pope meaning papa) by presenting him the Keys to the temple/governance bringing the two offices back into one high priesthood the way it originally was.
The pope has both temporal and spiritual powers. Peter is the NASI prince of the apostles and the AB/pope (Pope meaning papa - meaning father) as you see even today the pope as Peters documented unbroken apostolic successor is both ‘nasi’ and the ‘ab’ in Catholicism.
Rashi/Jewish sage writes a commentary on the priestly role of the steward/vizier of the Davidic Kingdoms. The Keys are the keys of the Temple and Authority. When the Davidic kings were away the steward/vizier was in charge and he wore the keys the King gave him so the citizens knew who he was. The steward is given the sash/robes/keys to the temple because the role is also a priestly role. The keys were then passed onto a successor when that steward died/removed. (Isaiah 22 v15-25)
The Apostles knew exactly what had occurred when Jesus gave Peter the keys. Jesus presents the keys to Peter (Pope/ab) and appoints him/his successors as His royal steward to care for HIs flock until His return. Jesus gave all the Apostles special gifts but He only gave Peter the keys to Temple and governance.
First book of Kings lists all the Kings and the royal steward/vizier is always listed next to the King because in the absence of the King he was in charge of the Kingdom. Christ also renames Peter (the only Apostle renamed) as Abraham and Jacob were renamed by God in preparation for their specific role in salvation history.
Jesus, Son of David rebuilt the davidic kingdom as per 2SamCh7 - He is the King, His mother is Gebirah, Peter/successor Popes are His royal stewards/viziers and the Hebrew court/beit-din is the Magesterium.
Catholicism is not a new religion, it is the legitimate continuation of Temple Judaism (not Rabbinic Judaism). Catholics do not throw out what God has revealed prior and continues to hold that all that is revealed is a single continuous revelation culminating in the Catholic Faith. Jewish priests who followed Jesus brought the temple rituals over: we kept the priests, the altar, the eternal sacrifice, the holy incense, the shewbread, the tabernacle, the sanctuary etc, etc, etc
Judaism and Catholicism is the same faith in two covenants one old and another new.
Jesus created a Melchezidek priesthood (which pre-exists the Aaronic priesthood). This is why all Catholic priests belong to the order of Melchizedek, the fulfilment of the theophany of Melchizedek giving wine/bread to Father Abraham.
Jesus said at the last supper
“As often as u do this”
So we do the mass often
I agree with this religion is false. Constantine had a lot to do with it. by bringing paganism to the church, he worshiped God and Satan. so, he thought.

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
John 15:19 - If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Matthew 26:26-29
King James Version
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

CONSTANTINE REIGNED FROM 306 to 337 AD 😎😎
NOTICE THE FOLLOWING DATES
Evodius was the first Bishop of Antioch (Ordained By PETER ) of the Catholic Church, and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22.
Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D..
In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"... St Ignatius is a holy and blessed martyr for the gospel. St Peter himself appointed Ignatius as bishop of Antioch. The Church of Antioch was a well-established stronghold of the gospel and firmly ground in apostolic teaching. So was St Ignatius a member of your true church? No, he was a DECLARED CATHOLIC who stood up for the Divinity of Christ and for the Real Presence of the Body & Blood of Christ in the Eucharist. I'll stick with the authority of the successors of the apostles.
@abukid The Docetists taught that when St John wrote "the word became flesh," he was speaking figuratively. St Ignatius maintains true apostolic teaching on the flesh of Christ & even offered his own flesh in holy martyrdom. Like you, the Docetists denied that the Eucharistic elements were the flesh & blood of Christ. Who are you? Did you sit at the feet of St John & hear the gospel from his lips? Do you really believe that you know what John's words meant better than Ignatius his pupil?

CAN YOU ADD AND SUBTRACT OR IS IT ANOTHER LITTLE LIE, ACT OF OMISSION OR JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY
Constantine never merged a Thing pagan into the Church In fact he did the opposite he destroyed Pagan temples what liarThere is zero proof of a "pagan" merge of Christianity in theological practices. There isn't a serious (emphasis added) historian secular or religious that would substantiate that claim. If what you claim is true, then the Holy Bible was canonized by pagans. The official New Testament books were canonized by the Holy Spirit working through the Catholic Church in the year 382 with the Council of Rome, which was convened under the leadership of Pope Damasus, promulgated the 73-book scriptural canon. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442). This "pagan influence illusion" blossomed in the nineteenth century. Publications such as Alexander Hislop's The Two Babylons (the classic English tract accusing the Catholic Church of paganism) prepared the ground for years of hostility toward the Church. During this period, entire new sects (Seventh-day Adventists, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses) emerged, all of which saw conventional Catholicism and Protestantism as tainted by paganism. During this time period, atheistic "freethinkers" like Robert Ingersoll wrote volumes criticizing Christianity and Judaism. In short, this idea of an infused pagan Church wasn't an idea until the 19th century as a tactic to discredit the RCC. The Catholic Church confirmed the doctrine of the trinity was established well into the 4th century, in the year 325, exactly where you claim that the Church went pagan. So, did a pagan Church give you the very bible you are reading today and substantiated your own belief in the trinity? These illogical fallacies just don't work due to the conflicting historic counter arguments that have actual proof other than misinterpreted Catholic doctrines that are challenged today. I hope this sparks you to read further into accurate historical data,

Thank God for you pastor John
Is Jesus God? Did Jesus work miracles? Did the 72 that Jesus sent out return in amazement because they had worked miracles in Jesus' name? Did Peter perform miracles in Jesus name? Does Jesus, Who is God, have the power/ability to give humans the power to perform miracles? In John 6, how many times did Jesus say His flesh is real food or His blood is real drink? I counted 18 times. How many do you count? Did Jesus give an ultimatum in John 6:53 "Unless you eat My flesh and drink My blood you have no life in you?"
At the Last Supper did Jesus consecrate the bread and wine into His body and blood? Did He COMMAND His apostles to do this as a re-presentation in remembrance of Me? What did the apostles believe about the Eucharist? What did the students of the apostles believe about the Eucharist? What did St. Paul say about receiving the Eucharist unworthily? Did he say that would result in the condemnation of the person receiving unworthily?
Does anyone believe it was the power of Jesus' disciples and apostles to work miracles? Does anyone in the Catholic Church believe it is the power of the priest that consecrates the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? No! The disciples, apostles, and priests don't work miracles. Jesus does. It is His power at work. How do I know? JESUS SAID SO in John 6 and at the Last Supper.
Prayers for you and anyone influenced by you that you will accept the words that Jesus gave as ultimatums, commands, and teachings during His life on earth. I believe Him. Until you believe Christ and follow him how can you dare to call yourself a Christian?
Amen and Amen.

I may not believe in transubstantiation, but I do believe in the true presence of God in the consecrated Eucharist. It's a mystery how God manages this, but Holy Communion is truly holy and miracle between our Lord and his church as one body. I don't have a problem w/ them adoring God through the Host. I do not know where they got transubstantiation from though. It does reduce us to cannibals.
