Lol that quote actually agrees with what Mike Gendron is saying. The Catholic cult defies the scriptures at every turn and contradicts every single Biblical doctrine.
aquinas was the goof who taught contrary God's Command about coveting, supporting theft for 'common good'. this is just a cop out , since Scripture exposes stooges like aquinas.
why did Jesus say in Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, *but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven*. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
Context is key: Jesus was speaking to the JEWS OF JERUSALEM about endtime Prophecy long before the gentiles/heathens were added to salvation in acts 10. While Jesus was still living he infact forbids to preach to gentiles as he was not yet rejected by the "lost sheep of Israel" that he came to save first and foremost (Matthew 10:5). Seeing this, the context of that passage is that many Jews (as seen in the Endtime judgment Prophecy of matthew 25) will claim to know God and accept Christ as a prophet/teacher (Lord, Lord: Rabbuni, Rabbuni) but will still reject Christ as Messiah and 2nd Divine Person of God. This is why they say "Lord, Lord" but lacking faith in the cross of Christ (as Jews and Muslims do) will still be thrown into hell.
The key to the statement is the word “iniquity”. Jesus was saying that on judgement day there will be a great many people who believe that intellectually agreeing that He is the Son of God is equivalent to salvation. It is NOT. One who is saved is incapable of living in continual, unrepentant sin (iniquity). Those who do that are deceiving themselves.
@@a-sheep-of-christ would they be prophesying in Jesus name, would they be casting out demons in Jesus name or doing deeds of power in Jesus name???? If they would not believe in the cross of Christ So how can you say that Phil 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; Mt 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Heb 6:4 For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 Peter 3:17 You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability.
@@FollowChristNotManYou can't spell and your facts are wrong. Another loyal and true, proud catholic speaking lies. May God bless you and encourage you to find out the difference between Jews and Gentiles. The answer is in the Bible. I encourage you to read the Bible first, then you won't make a fool out of yourself, again. Jesus Christ loves you and Jesus Christ died for your sins, too. Trust and Believe in His Finished work of the cross for forgiveness of sin and for your salvation! Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus
Its interesting that Jesus saves his harshest critisism towards religious institutions. When you are part of such an institution you are blinded to the truth. Fortunately, the truth is only found in one person and this truth will set you free. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life. No person is able to come to the father unless he comes through Jesus. Anyone who thinks he can come to God through an institution and their man made structures needs to stop in their tracks and re-evaluate their position immediately. I pray for you and me.
He wasn’t opposed to institutions; He established the Church - His Body. He was opposed to hypocrisy & not putting God - Love - first. He IS Love - the Word made flesh, the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world, whose flesh & blood we take to partake of His Divine Nature & abide in Him as He called us to be One with Him in accordance with Scripture that we may be conformed to Him.
@@user-vf5mx8fh8j God receives ALL the glory and Corinthians says THAT HE WILL NOT share HIS glory with another. Man loves his institutions of religion of ALL names. The ONLY WAY God WILL accept for entrance into heaven is believing Paul's gospel given to him by Jesus himself --- the FINISHED work Jesus accomplished for salvation
2 Thessalonians 2:15 ESV "So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. "
Amen. Why should we follow a protestant church that only formed 500 years ago, when we have the Catholic and Orthodox churches that were formed 2,000 years ago by Jesus and His Apostles? It makes no sense. Especially since we have TONS of historical evidence proving that : 1) Early Christians baptized children all the time. This is not just noticed in ancient Christian pictures on the walls of ancient churches, but is also mentioned in the Bible : Acts 2: 38 "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, EVERY ONE OF YOU, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise belongs to you AND YOUR CHILDREN and to all who are far off-to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.” And let us not forget what Jesus said when the Apostles tried to stop parents from bringing their children to Jesus : “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” And also : Acts 16:33 "At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD were baptized." The household includes children. There are actually 3 times the Bible states that a family was baptized, but NOT ONCE does it ever say "...except for the children." It NEVER says that. It is as clear as daylight.
Yes traditions by God not men. The Catholic Church insists upon the traditions of men being equal to God’s. We are to honor the traditions laid out by the Bible not Roman Catechism.
You find the word ‘catholic’ in the Bible at Acts 5:11 and Acts 9:31. ‘Catholic’ is a Greek word, of course, so you need the New Testament in Greek if you wish to see it. The phrase "Kata holos" is lost when translated from the original Greek into English. In English, at Acts 5:11, the phrase "holos[en] ecclesia” or the “whole entire church" is found. In Acts 9:31 the English may render “the church throughout" but in Greek it is "Ai men oun Eccelesia kath holos" which literally translates as "Then truly the Church Cath-olic”; reading in its entirety: “Then truly the Church Catholic rested in Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied." - Acts 9:31. “Kath-holos’ means universal, of all nations, throughout, of the whole. It is a good description of Christ’s church. After all, Jesus said in Mark 11:7, “My House shall be called of all nations the House of prayer.” Rom. 11:18, 21 “Do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you . . . 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, *He will not spare you either* . He writes his own condemnation for all to see here forever as the synagogue of Satan. By his stubbornness and impenitent heart, he is storing up wrath for himself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, “who will repay everyone according to his works” (Rom 2:5-6). SACRED DEPOST OF FAITH: The words of Christ are true to the deposit of faith handed down in word and spirit John 14:26) entrusted to his true believers, believing with their whole heart and life, (2 Tim. 1:6) by the laying on of hands. “First of all know this, there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, 21 for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God” - 2 Peter 1:20-21. God’s written word indicates that no prophesy is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophesy ever came through human will . . . so we are not to rely on our own interpretations alone. When we rely on ourselves only solo scriptura can become our idol, and what prevents someone from picking up the Bible and making it say whatever they wish it to say? Nothing at all for as Jesus says: ""You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them" John 5:39a, and continues to say that "they testify on my behalf". The apostles appointed people entrusted with the deposit of faith (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:14; Jude 3) to preserve the faith and feed the sheep (Jn 21:17) to the end, and the gates of hell will not prevail against those (Mt. 16:18). "19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” - Mt. 28:19-20. “Without parables he did not speak to them, but *to his own disciples he explained everything in private* ”. - Mark 4:34. “He said to them in reply, “ *Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted* .” - Matthew 13:11 “Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, *he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures* . . . *Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures* .”- Luke 24:27, 44. 26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name- *he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you* . - John 14:26. “The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but *I will tell you clearly about the Father* .” - John 16:25. “And so I say to you *you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18. 7 Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. 8 To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light [for all] what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, 10 *so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church* to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. - Eph. 3:7-10; 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are [in Ephesus] faithful in Christ Jesus . . . 9 *he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him* 10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. Eph. 1, 9. 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae: grace to you and peace from God our Father. . . 24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is *the church of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God* , 26 the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones. Col. 1, 24-26. “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.” - Amos 3:7. “28 The hidden things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things are for us and for our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.” - Dt. 29:28.

"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." Venerable Fulton Sheen
Pride is the most deadly of the catholic seven deadly sins. You are proud to be a catholic sinner. You, too, have been deceived. Jesus is the Solution. The catholic church is the highway to hell.
What should offend you is the blasphemous traditional culture customary things this doctrine chooses over the Lord and Word. He states truth facts all in your Bible but as a catholic myself of 40yrs no catholic takes the Holy Bible as authority we uses traditions over the Word.
Will, this is typical of the uninstructed. Remember Bishop Sheen's famous quote, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
Don't mind them. They do not know of what they speak of. I listened to this man who has no knowledge of Yeshua's Church. Remember, you are a member of the Church Jesus built. The church was founded by Jesus himself, filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, what the first Apostles lead is not a human institution run on the whims of a few men, it is a divinely founded guided Church, serving as the living representation of the Kingdom of heaven on earth. Read Matthew 16:18, "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church" (The Aramaic word Képa meaning rock which translates into Greek as Képhas is the name by which Peter is called in the Pauline letters) Read the entire chapter for better context. The Catholic Church is the one true 'visible' church. Romans 16:17-18, "I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you learned; avoid them. For such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent." Be aware some posting comments and videos attempt to create division. In 2 Peter 2:1, "There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing shift destruction on themselves." This speaker in the video also interprets the bible how he sees it. However, 2 Peter 1:20-21, "Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will, but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God." Saint Peter rules out sola scriptura. These lost brothers and sisters of ours unfortunately follow man made street corner churches. They broke off in the 16th century and claim they know better. They removed 7 books to fit their belief system. Many will claim to be Catholic and say, I was a member of it for X amount of years, then speak to create division, when they have not fully embraced the Lord. Strong and well informed protestants will find their home one day in the Catholic church. Weak Catholics will become protestants. I pray one day they will return to the One True Church.

@smedleybutler9604 to be fair, Being a sheep isn't a bad thing. Jesus said the father will separate the Sheep from the Goats. Sheep will find their way to the kingdom through their Shepard and the goats will be lead astray.
SADLY, after looking into the doctrine, and knowing the Bible I have to agree with the opening statements. It saddens my heart to say as there are good people I love who are Catholic, but it is not aligned with the Bible. I wish I was wrong on this, believe me..
Just as the Constitution can’t interpret itself, the Bible can’t interpret itself either. Only through tradition, scripture and the teaching authority of the church can the word of God be fully understood. Protestants have over 30000 denominations that can’t agree on anything except putting on a rock concert and calling it worship.
My friend, this video is obviously leaving a lot of stuff out. It is only giving us half truths. It is one of the reasons why I do not attend Protestant churches anymore. I am actually quite tired of these Protestant groups lying to us with halt truths. 1. Child Baptism . What he is NOT mentioning to us is the fact that there are old pictures from the time of the Apostles that show children getting baptized. On top of that, he is also NOT mentioning that ALL of the original churches that were formed by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES baptize children (the Egyptian Coptic Christians, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Even Armenia - which is the first country in the world to become Christian - baptizes children in their Armenian church. Why? Because THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES told them to do it. AND the Bible tells us to do it. Acts 2:38 "And Peter says to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise belongs to you AND YOUR CHILDREN and to all who are far off-to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Matthew 19:13 "Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Acts 16:33 "He was baptized at once, with ALLLLLLL his family” Do you notice that it does NOT SAY "..except for the kids." It does NOT say this. 2. The early church INDEED had priest. The writtings from the early church leaders talk about the priesthood. And all the original Orthodox churches - who were taught by the APOSTLES THEMSELVES - have priest. ALL OF THEM. (again, this video is NOT telling us this fact). The Egyptian Coptic Church, the Ethiopian Church, even the churches in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) had priests. In fact, the church of Smyrna is one of only 2 churches that Jesus praised and had nothing bad to say about in the Book of Revalation. The Bishop of Smyrna at the time that Jesus praised the church of Smyrna was Polycarp. He was trained by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES. And when the Church of Smyrna wrote a letter to the other churches in the world regarding Polycarp's martydom, the letter SPECIFICALLY mentions Philip the Trallian as being "high priest" at the time. 3) And there are married priests in the Catholic Church (again, this videos does NOT mention that to us). The Syriac Catholics, the Coptic Catholic Priests, and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic priests are just some branches of Catholics who are allowed to marry. That is because the practice of priest celibacy is considered a rule of discipline, but not mandated by scripture. Celibacy for church leaders is mentioned in the Bible . Matthew 19:10-11 "His disciples say to Him, "If this is the case of the man with the wife, it is better not to marry." “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given." 1 Corinthians 7:7-8 "I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry." Do you see this? Protestants use 1 Timothy 3:2 as "proof" that church leaders need to be married. This is a corrupt reading of scripture. The verse says "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of ONE wife, .... " Paul is saying this because during his time polygamy was common. Many men had multiple wives. Paul is simply saying that if they are married, then it should only be to one wife. How do we know this? Because Paul says in 1 Corrinthians 7 :7-8 that he wished everyone was LIKE HIM (single). He also says that he knows that not everyone can do this. Notice that this videos does NOT mention ANY of these Bible verse. There are so so much more to say, like the fact that Protestants do NOT have altars, even though Jesus Himself gives us rules about bringing gifts to the altar ( Matthew 5:22) Why don't Protestants have altars? All the original churches created by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES had altars. So don't Protestant's have altars? But this is getting too long already
The bible is and never was the sole item binding Christianity together. This concept is known as sola scriptura, which both the Catholic and Orthodox churches disagree with.
Check this truth out... Google who started the Catholic Church then Google did Martin Luther have syphilis and did he impregnate a nun because that is who you ultimately follow.
I was just saying this too. Catholics are super angry and aggressive. They mirror Muslims in their response when you talk to them about the problem with Roman Catholicism.
Most hate just the lies, and the fact there are people protesting so aggressively about the church that gave us all the bible, but we hope never the person all who are made in image of God.
@@toneyh1How many books in the Bible are written by catholics? How many books in the Bible are written to catholics? How many books in the Bible are written about catholics?

“…They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them” 1John 4:3 Sounds like the Catholic Church trying to conform to the world and say what the world wants to hear.
Your description is that of Protestantism, which continues to change & break away. The Catholic Church has been around since the beginning. Protestantism arose some 1500 years too late to be the Church.
There are three things in particular I don't get about RC: (1). the notion that one cannot (or should not) enjoy a personal relationship with God/Jesus but rather must go through a mortal mediator (priest); (2). all the prayers to Mary, another mortal; and (3). the notion that the Pope is a living descendant of the Apostles when popes and priests are forbidden to procreate. Point (1). contradicts Jesus Himself, Point (2). also has no Biblical basis, and Point (3). simply does not make logical sense.
As for Mary, we ask her to pray for us the same way we ask any other person to pray for us. She is the greatest woman who has walked this earth. We do not worship her, and we Catholics maintain a distinction between prayer and worship. Worship entails sacrifice, and that is offered solely to God. We do not offer the sacrifice at mass to Mary, we offer it to God. She should be venerated and she serves as a reminder that Jesus is fully human and that He came to this world through the greatest of the feminine side of humanity. As for popes, you are misunderstanding when we say “succession”. Apostolic succession has absolutely nothing to do with procreation. It has everything to do with appointing and ordaining a successor and this concept is not unique to Roman Catholicism. Peter, for example, had consecrated Clement of Rome, one of the Apostolic Fathers, as a bishop and he later became pope. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Old Catholics also follow this practice for their own bishops, and this is why we Roman Catholics actually distinguish them as “churches” and not “ecclesial communities”. Just as we Roman Catholics see our Pope as the successor to Peter, the Eastern Orthodox see their Ecumenical Patriarch as the successor to Andrew, and generally we do recognise the validity (though not liceity) of each others’ succession. Even the firmly protestant Anglicans have apostolic succession for bishops, though we Roman Catholics consider theirs invalid due to a lack of intent and substance as determined in Apostolicae Curae. Also as a side note, some Eastern Catholic jurisdictions under the Roman Catholic Church do allow married priests.
@@saldol9862 paragraph 1 -- there is absolutely ZERO in Scripture supporting we pray to the dead. there is nothing in Scripture showing she is anything other than dead -- Heb 9:27 Mary isn't Deity, she was a sinner as we are now. and we only ask people who are alive and physically here to pray for us. or do you pray to Moses, Enoch and Elijah -- since they are shown to be resurrected and translated? paragraph 2 -- 'popes' are demonic and not at all Christian. thanks for reading!
1: This isn’t true. I have a personal relationship with the Lord and I’m not even Catholic yet. The priest is meant to help you in your relationship with Jesus. II: We don’t pray to Mary in the sense that we think she can grant prayers, she can’t because she’s not God. We ask her to pray for us to God, because just like Enoch and Elijah she is with her Son. III: This is a funny one, when I first started to look into the Church; I was confused. What it really means is that Peter ordained (not fathered-if you hear fathered it means in the spiritual sense) Peter 2, Peter 2 ordained Peter 3, etc etc until we get to the current Pope. None of this contradicts Scripture, the Apostles founded a Church because of Jesus.
@@tony1685 1: No; there is. We hear about the “prayers of the saints” in Revelation. Mary literally gave birth to God in the flesh, she’s more important than any saint (Jesus is obviously way more important.) Mary is NOT God. She could never be God. She wasn’t a sinner, because then Jesus would have inherited sin, which would have made Him insufficient as a perfect sacrifice. She is alive in Heaven. She cannot grant our prayers, but can only ask God to grant them. You could *ask* Elijah to pray *for you.* 2: Zero proof for this.
When the Lord was crucified in AD 33 approximately 3% of the population of the Holy Land (Palestine) were literate (could read). Mass literacy in society only came about in the 15th century when Gutenberg (a German Catholic) invented the printing press. The printing press facilitated the mass transmission of reading material including the Bible.
For over 200 years anyone the catholic church caught with a bible (eg Tyndale) was burnt alive, the catholic church tried to suppress the public having access to the scriptures which previously was only available read in church in latin.
you left out the part where the catholic church burned people at the stake for translating the bible into english so that it could be accessible and read in the home by the non privileged lower class who could read & write in English but not Greek or Hebrew.

There were translation of the Bible into the vernacular languages BEFORE the Protestant reformation. 2) And Catholics were murdered in Protestant countries e.g. England for not getting with the Protestant program. 3) Also, Protestants even turned on one another e.g. the 'peasants revolt' in Germany where Martin Luther sided with the Protestants aristocrats against the Protestant commoners.
@@jessielees Horrible things were done back in the day (by everybody). We wouldn't even have the Bible only for the Catholic Church - even Martin Luther conceded this! Was Martin Luther wrong on this issue?
As usual he’s created a caricature out of Catholic teaching. None of this is Catholic teaching- but also it is a weak Protestant refutation of Catholic teaching. Come again sir.
Obviously Jesus. Every Catholic who actually knows their Faith knows that. Whoever says otherwise is either a Catholic who did not learn their Faith or an anti-Catholic protestant who has been fed lies.
@@JC_Redeemed Cite the specific "file", Church Council, or paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with the actual quote that says otherwise. You can't just make an empty accusation based on a conspiracy theory that has no weight to it. The Catechism of the Catholic Church in paragraph 169 states, "Salvation is through God alone." The Council of Trent harmonizes the necessity of grace and works: "If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or by the teaching of the Law, without Divine Grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema" (Session 6; can. 1). The Catholic Church has also denounced several heresies that stated otherwise such as Gnosticism (1st Century; salvation through knowledge), Sethianism (2nd Century; another form of Gnosticism), Basilideanism (2nd Century; another form of Gnosticism), Plagiarism (5th Century; believed humans can be saved by their own efforts without God's Grace), and Paulicianism (7th Century; believed salvation was achieved by rejecting the material world) just to name a few. So please, tell me the name of the supposed "file" that states otherwise.
The Roman Catholic Church omits Commandment #2 (Do not make idols). Then they split #10 in two, to make #9 and #10. Isn't that subtracting from the Word of God?
Spoken like a true Muslim. Nothing but carnal pride who looks at Catholicism like a football team. You may have bought the jersey but you're certainly not on the team. Repent, believe the Gospel and be saved!
@@OathKeeper1506 hahahah on the team... we read scriptures that you don't even know about because Martin Luther took it out... come to the oldest direction, and you will find the oldest faith, traditions, spirituality, living methods = The truth :)
@@TheresaCronin-kc6wz I have Jesus living within me and I in Him eternally. He is not in a piece of metaphorical bread.. though it does honor Christ for remembrance as the scripture states. The Eucharist is SYMBOLISM and the early Church AGREED! The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever. Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70). Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2). Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57). Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7). Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel: For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80). Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19) Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8). He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1). And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24). A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.
The Catholic Church does not teach that Jesus is an insufficient savior, this is ridiculous. Every sacrament of the Catholic Church points you towards Jesus, towards his mercy.! This man may have been raised Catholic and left the church, but never bothered learning about his faith. The very Bible he loves to quote from was compiled by the Catholic Church inspired by the Holy Spirit. All teachings of the Trinity, which are not listed in the Bible come from the Catholic Church, and the ecumenical council that helped bring forth this great teaching from the Holy Spirit.
The catholic church operates on the fact that Jesus is an insufficient savior How ridiculous. The Bible says that your outcome will be what your actions deserve. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus for your perfect sacrifice
How many books of the Bible are written by catholics? How many books of the Bible are written to catholics? How many books of the Bible are written about catholics? How many times is the word catholic in the Bible? None Jesus was reading from the Scriptures during his earthly ministry. Nothing about the Bible is catholic
The hatred of some of you for your brothers & sisters in Christ is disturbing. Christ wants unity among His children. You need to stop spreading untruths about Catholics
Catholicism is a pagan cult. Since Passover and Easter are drawing near, I will expose the false preachers and religions who wickedly promote and believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and if you are believing this lie then you also know very little about God and scripture. Because many lack knowledge of scripture they cannot comprehend the important and explicit clues that John related in his gospel in regard to the Crucifixion and the Sabbath. This ignorance of truth certainly applies to the pagan cult known as Catholicism since they are one of the many false religions that claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and this is why many false Christians choose to celebrate what is known today as Good Friday. Realize that the first day of Passover was considered a Sabbath day to the children of Israel since it was a day of holy convocation and no manner of work was to be done, so it was basically no different than the weekly Sabbath that God commanded the children of Israel to observe every Friday evening. You also need to understand that in a particular year when the Passover Sabbath would begin on a Thursday evening, this was then considered a high day Sabbath or a special Sabbath to the children of Israel since they would now have to recognize two Sabbath days in a row. “‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3 NKJV Now to prove how the special feasts of God were to be treated no differently then the regular Sabbath and that no work was to be done, all we need to do is read what was related in Leviticus 23. Take notice that in the Leviticus 23:23-25 scriptures below, it clearly relates that a holy convocation also included a sabbath rest. ”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a SABBATH-REST, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ” Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV “‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ” Leviticus 23:4-8 NKJV Now God commanded the Israelites to keep His Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight and the first month of the year on God’s religious calendar is called Nisan or Abib and it begins in the spring and not in the winter as our current new year does. So because scripture relates that Jesus celebrated Passover at His Last Supper with His disciples many are falsely assuming that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 15 and not on Nisan 14 and that His Last Supper had to occur on a Thursday night since He was crucified on the day of Preparation. Now before I go on, I need you to understand that God commanded the Israelites to always celebrate His Passover but there was actually a period when the children of Israel stopped keeping God’s Passover. (See 2 Kings 23:21-23.) Since the tribes of Israel had stopped keeping the Passover you can read where King Hezekiah and Josiah reinstated the Passover celebration in 2 Chronicles 30 and 35. They now chose to have the people celebrate God’s Passover at the second temple instead of at their homes since they wanted to make sure that the Israelites would stay loyal to God and His commands. So even though they reinstated the Passover celebration they actually were ignoring God’s command since they now started a tradition where many would celebrate God’s Passover at their homes on the beginning of Nisan 14 and then at the second temple in Jerusalem at the end of Nisan 14. Now because the gospels are relating that Jesus was buried on Preparation day, many false preachers and religions are ignorantly assuming that this meant that the crucifixion had to occur on a Friday, since this is the day that the Jewish people would normally begin their preparation for the weekly Sabbath that began every Friday evening. Further below I will definitely prove where their ignorance of scripture has led false preachers and religions astray but first I want you to understand that the Jewish calendar months are completely different then the Gregorian calendar that we currently use, and that the Jewish day actually ends once it becomes dark and not at midnight as our world is accustomed to. So in order to start proving why the crucifixion did not occur on a Friday I will begin by revealing how the gospel of John related some very important information that many deceived believers are not comprehending. First, take notice where John related in 13:1-3 that Jesus celebrated His Last Supper before the Feast of Passover and then understand that John was referencing the Passover celebration that would occur at the temple at twilight on Nisan 14. “NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,” John 13:1-3 NKJV Next, I will reveal a couple of scripture verses where John related that when Jesus was crucified it occurred during a year where the Passover Sabbath was going to occur the day before the weekly Sabbath. This would mean that you would have two Sabbath days occurring back to back and since you now had a special Sabbath occurring on Thursday evening this then meant that no work could be done on either Friday or Saturday. So since the Jewish people could do no work once their Friday began (our Thursday at nightfall), this then meant that the day of Preparation would now fall on a Thursday instead of its normal Friday. Once again, take note that when you had a Feast Day Sabbath occurring the day before the weekly Sabbath this was then called a special Sabbath or a HIGH DAY Sabbath by the Jewish people. ”Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.” John 19:31 NKJV ”Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.” John 18:28 NKJV So notice how John 19:31 related that the Sabbath that was going to occur later that evening was a HIGH DAY SABBATH. This meant that it had to be the Passover Sabbath and not the weekly Sabbath as many false preachers and religions are wrongly teaching. This is also why John 18:28 is relating how the Pharisees did not want to defile themselves on the day that Jesus was crucified since they were desiring to partake in the Passover meal that would occur at the end of that day at the temple. So since John clearly related in scripture that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and he stated that this was the day before a HIGH DAY SABBATH Sabbath then the crucifixion definitely had to occur on a Thursday, otherwise God and scripture would be lying to us. Lastly, in order to fulfill what Jesus related in the Matthew 12 scripture where He stated that He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth here is a time recap of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection and a complete breakdown of the three days and the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the earth. On Wednesday night as Nisan 14 begins this is when Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples. Then on Thursday morning which was still Nisan 14 Jesus is crucified at 9 in the morning and He dies on the cross at 3 in the afternoon. Jesus is then buried just before sundown on Thursday evening before the Passover Sabbath celebration begins. Jesus then of course rises from the grave early Sunday morning which is now Nisan 17. Thursday Night #1 - Passover Sabbath Begins Friday Day #1 - Passover Sabbath Ends At Sundown Friday Night #2 - Weekly Sabbath Begins Saturday Day #2 - Weekly Sabbath Ends At Sundown Saturday Night #3 Sunday Day #3 - Jesus Is Resurrected “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Matthew 12:40 NKJV So Jesus died on the cross on Thursday Nisan 14 at 3 in the afternoon which was around the time that they began slaughtering the lambs that were needed to celebrate the Passover at the temple and this is why Jesus was known as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins.
You guys aren’t brothers or sisters in Christ if you believe in another gospel. If you believe you are saved by works, then you are no better than Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. We can love and pray for you, and you can become our brothers and sisters if you believed that Christ alone saves, and not the Catholic Church. It’s not hateful when you tell someone the truth.
When you lie about how to get to Heaven, you are not my brothers and sisters in Christ. I am working for and with Jesus. You are lying to me and working for and with the devil
@@katierucker2870 Catholicism is simply a pagan cult but your once saved always saved lie is just as evil. What many of you deceived souls clearly are not comprehending is that the only believer who cannot possibly lose their salvation is someone who has been sanctified by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and who has overcome sin and sickness in this lifetime by enduring God’s purification process that is known as sanctification. This person cannot possibly lose their salvation since they are now a child who has been born of God and they can no longer sin since they are being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ who is Holy and pure. Most are foolishly believing that they are born again Christians and they are completely deceived since they are not comprehending what it actually means to be born again. Realize that any believer who is truly born of God can no longer sin since they have learned how to overcome their sins through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and this is why the devil can no longer touch them with his afflictions. I know this first hand for I have been sanctified by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and I no longer sin nor do I ever get sick. “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” I John 5:18 NKJV “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” I John 3:8-9 NKJV So scripture clearly states that whoever sins does not know God and whoever sins is of the devil. Whoever abides in God and is born of God cannot sin and does not sin so this is a child of God like myself! The majority who claim to believe in Jesus are actually nothing more then deceived children of the devil since they do not possess God’s Holy Spirit and they are still living in their sin and their ignorance of God’s truth. They have certainly overlooked that God commanded everyone to live a Holy and righteous life and this can only be achieved by learning how to overcome our sins through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who OVERCOMES shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, UNBELIEVING, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all LIARS shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV So anytime you hear someone relating this once saved always saved nonsense you can be absolutely sure that they are someone who the devil has claimed since their misguided soul was simply looking for an easy path to travel. They certainly did not understand how difficult it is to overcome our sins nor do they even want to make the effort to do so. They also are not comprehending what scripture meant in regards to works since they are confusing how we need to act on our faith with doing good deeds. Realize that none of us can earn our salvation since it is a free gift from God, but what these OSAS misguided soul certainly are not realizing is that we still have to act upon our faith in order to receive our salvation and this is why scripture is relating that “faith without works is dead.” “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:14-26 NKJV ”Faith without works is dead” is not saying that you must work to earn your salvation, for no one can earn their salvation since it is a free gift from God. But what it is relating is that you must prove your faith by acting upon it and if you do not prove your faith then you actually do not believe. So just saying that you believe in Jesus means very little to God since even Satan and his demons will do that much. The James scripture above is relating that if you really believe then you must prove that you do by acting on your faith. So have you sold everything that you own and given to the poor as Jesus instructed in Matthew 19:21? Or have you forsaken all of your possessions in order to become a disciple of Jesus? Well if you have not then you cannot possibly be a disciple of Jesus and all you need to do is read Luke 14:33 to prove as much since the word of God does not lie. So what these once saved always saved children of Satan certainly are not comprehending is that just saying that you believe in Jesus does not guarantee you eternal life since even the demons who are condemned do that much. If you truly believe then you must be willing to change from your current sinful and ignorant ways to God’s Holy and righteous ways by genuinely repenting and by acting upon your faith. But of course, the delusional once saved always saved crowd foolishly believes that acting upon our faith means that we are trying to earn our way into heaven since in their ignorant minds they are confusing works with doing good deeds. This is why they foolishly believe that they can still remain sinners and yet still receive God’s salvation. God commanded us to live a holy and righteous life which no one can achieve through their own sinful flesh and this is why we needed a Savior. Through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus is now able to teach us, guide us and transform us into someone who no longer sins through His Holy Spirit. But the majority who claim to believe in Jesus never allow this transformation to occur since they fell for the lies of the false prophets. So instead of becoming holy and righteous and enduring to the end, many continue in a life of sin and lawlessness by following some false religion or false doctrine like Catholicism or this once saved always saved nonsense. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2 ESV “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” Matthew 24:11-13 NKJV Lastly, how many times do you hear these once saved always saved children of the devil claim that they are “SAVED BY GRACE.” Well guess what? There is not even one scripture that ever uses that term nor are their any scriptures that use the term “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” and that alone proves that they are adding to the word of God and relating a false gospel. So their very own words are condemning their ignorant souls since they are adding their lies to the word of God just like they often do with Ephesians 2:8-9. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV “For by grace you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH.” Nowhere does this scripture state that we are “saved by grace” as their ignorant souls desire to believe. These children of the devil cannot comprehend that Ephesians 2:8 is relating that it is by God’s grace that He is allowing us to be saved through our faith and that faith definitely requires an action on our part. This is why scripture is relating that “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!” So once again, there are no scriptures anywhere that ever uses the term “SAVED BY GRACE” or “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” as these children of the devil often relate. That alone proves that they are liars who are adding to the word of God and they certainly will perish for all eternity for relating a false gospel.
As a former Roman Catholic I agree with most of this. The Catholic Church always adds to the Word of God: they constantly reference and tell people to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). I also do not understand why they have images and statues of Jesus and Saints when the Bible says not to have any of those things for the things above. I also don’t understand why priests are called Father when the Bible says no one except God should be called that. And why does the Catholic Church not allow anyone except true Catholics to receive communion? That is a man made law by the Church. It does not come from the Word of God.
You cannot receive communion if You do not believe what' the catholic faith teaches it wouldnt make sense My friend . And God does not forbid images he forbids idols false gods and worshiping them like they egyptians they had many false gods see exodus 25 God himself tells Moses to make images18 "Make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 19 Put one cherub on each end of it. Make the cherubim as part of the cover itself. 20 The cherubim must have their wings spread up over the cover. The cherubim must face each other and look toward the cover. 21 "Place the cover on top of the chest. I will give you the tablets of the covenant. Put them into the chest.

Catholicism is not Christianity ✝️ When you learn the truth, you will be made free. I did some studying and I found that many of their doctrines are misinterpreted. It’s shocking how erroneous their doctrines are. I’ve given you all of the answers you’ll need. I’ve listed several specific things that you’ll need to diligently study if you’re Catholic. -------------------- Peter self-identified as an elder, not a pope. An elder is a pastor. **1 Pete 5:1** And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you: Matthew 16:18-19 is misinterpreted and this is shown in Matthew 18:18 as Jesus reiterates the same thing to all disciples. The Petrine theory is false. -------------------- - Antithetical books taught as doctrine that are contradictory to the Bible is apostasy. ****1 Timothy 4:1**** Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons. -------------------- - Forbidding clergy to marry is apostasy. ****1 Timothy 4:3**** who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. -------------------- • Adding church doctrines, especially doctrines that uniquely serve the context of a church’s teachings and political purposes of a church is apostasy and it’s forbidden. ****Deuteronomy 4:2,**** ****Galatians 1:6-7****. A church can’t interpret a scripture and ignore the fact that their interpretation contradicts other scriptures. ****Mark 7:7**** Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. -------------------- • We have a new ministry in the new covenant. ****Ephesians 4:11****. Christ did not send out any officiating new covenant high priests, or parish priests. ****Ephesians 4:11**** So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers • God does not show favoritism ****Romans 2:11**** -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the indwelling of the Spirit. ****Acts 1:5**** -------------------- • The scriptures show no differences in the apostles. ****Equality amongst the apostles**** “Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. ****Ephesians 2:20**** “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” ****Revelation 21:14**** • Peter was no different than the others. We can see here in ****Revelations 21:14**** that Peter was still an apostle, not a pope. John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem, so if Peter was a pope, John would have said I saw the foundation of the city walls in layers of 11 apostles and the one pope. -------------------- - The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock. ****1 Corinthians 10:4**** and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. -------------------- • Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man. No scriptures show that the 24 elders hear prayers. ****1 Timothy 2:5**** For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, -------------------- • All Christians are saints. ****Philippians 1:1**** Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: -------------------- • All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God for forgiveness yourself. ****1 Peter 2:5**** Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. -------------------- • The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. Water baptism cannot remove sins. By the shedding of blood is there remission of sins. Adam sinned but adding the terminology of “original sin” is not biblical. ****Hebrews 9:22**** In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. -------------------- • Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. ****Acts 17:11**** ****Ephesians 3:4**** As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. ****Psalm 119:15**** I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. -------------------- • In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no new antithetical AD prophet church bibles, no man-made doctrines, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, no other God(s), no idolatry, no prosperity gospel, no blessed prayer cloths, no added rituals, no antithetical traditions, no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no water baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no apostolic succession, and no church dogmas, but *only* by grace through faith are we saved. Christ is enough! ****Ephesians 2:8**** "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast". -------------------- - I’m not against any church. I’m against people who are being misled and deceived. A church that has stood for several centuries must still teach sound doctrine. Any church that is built on false doctrine leads people astray. That church is no longer fertile grounds for the development of the body of Christ. - I know this information can be heavy so I pray for your healing. I also pray that you will see the truth in God’s word. Study. In Jesus’s name, Amen. 💜💜
@@Jesus.Is.Coming.Back1 Scripture is the written Tradition (or Teaching) of the apostles collected and authorized by the Church, “the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). The Holy Spirit-as the Source of truth-inspired the Holy Apostles to write, the Holy Church to canonize, and its Holy Tradition to interpret the Holy Bible. Scripture, Tradition, and the Church-these three agree as one, inspired by the one Holy Spirit, and together bear witness to the one Faith, for “a threefold cord cannot be easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses… remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct” (Hebrews 12:1; 13:7). The Holy Spirit and the Holy Church, the Bride of Christ, say, “Come… Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed… sharing in the body of Christ. For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread [Christ Jesus]” (Revelation 22:17; Proverbs 9:5; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

@@John_Six There’s no such thing as a true church in the sense that they try to make you believe. Catholics don’t study because they believe that the sacraments and the rituals that they’re participating in is equal to God‘s word. So the “true church” thing sounds like the right path to them. I’ve given you the answers you need to study. Do your due diligence and open your eyes! There are no omnipresent humans in heaven who can hear prayers.

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:” -what Do u see in Catholic Churches ? Exactly that.
Well, what I see in the Catholic church are images of Christ crucified which makes my heart ache for all the sins I have done, seeing all his wounds reminds me of the hardships he has to go through to save a wretched, unimportant sinner like me, and you know what else I see in the Catholic church? Images of men, of saints, holy and loyal to Jesus up to death, and. This images inspires me not to waste my life and be worthy of My saviour's sacrifice. Yeah, this is what I see inside the Catholic church and it helps me to strive to become a better Catholic christian. You do not have a single clue on why those "graven images" are there. Do your research well so you will not sound like an ignoramus.
@@fameza8846 She is the Mother of Jesus. She is worthy of praise and respect. Don't be afraid of loving Mary too much. You can never love her more than what Jesus loved her. (St Maximillian)
The complete paragraph: "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner." (CCC1367)
As the New Testament clearly elucidates, Communion was provided to honor the memory of Christ's suffering for us in offering up His body for our salvation. It also states there is one divine sacrifice for redeeming our sins on the cross and no other and then it was finished, not wherein another is continually performed by a priest where "the manner of offering is different." We are not commanded to worship the 'Host' in the same way we worship Christ in prayer. That is not biblical.
@@alwilson3204 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.’ (Matthew 26:26-28) Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. - (John 6:56). On the night before He suffered and died on the cross, Jesus shared a last meal with His disciples and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Each time we go to Mass, we prayerfully participate with the priest who celebrates what Jesus did at the Last Supper. Acting in the person of Christ, the priest consecrates the bread and wine and it is changed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, into the body and blood of Christ. This change is called transubstantiation. The transformed bread and wine are not merely symbols. They continue to look like bread and wine but they are not; the substances change. They truly are the Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus is present to us in many ways, in his Word, in the poor, when two or more are gathered in prayer, and in the Sacraments. But only in the Holy Eucharist is He uniquely present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This is what we mean by the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. The consecrated bread and wine remain the Body and Blood of Christ, even after Mass when some of the consecrated bread has been reserved for other uses, such as for distribution to the dying or the sick, or for adoration when it is exposed in the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. The Blessed Sacrament is kept in the tabernacle, which is why it is customary to genuflect before the tabernacle when in its presence. By dying on the cross, Jesus sacrificed for our sins. Through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we are joined to that sacrifice and receive its benefits. At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and said, “This is my body.” He took the wine and said, “This is the cup of my blood.” Think about that the next time you are at Mass. Jesus is now truly present on the altar. Think about it, too, as you return to your seat after receiving the Holy Eucharist. You now have Jesus Christ inside you!
@@savedbygrace8337 In a very literal sense we have fully God thru Jesus Christ in us. Jesus is fully God and fully man at the same time.

Which came first? The Bible or the Church? This guy claims that the gates of hell have prevailed against the very church founded by Christ himself. Brother, the word would not have been made possible without Pope Peter and his successors. The church compiled it and created the cannon of books 300 years after Christ’s crucifixion.
THAT IS FALSE. THE BIBLE WAS MADE BY GOD HIMSELF THROUGH HIS INSPIRATION. THE POPE DID NOT CREATE THE BIBLE THAT IS GROTESQUELY HERETICAL. REPENT AND COME TO CHRIST.
How many books in the Bible are written by catholics? How many books in the Bible are written to catholics? How many books in the Bible are written about catholics? How many times is the catholic church referred to by name? Zero Wake up Jesus died for your sins, too
Well, the Bible did. The Jews had the Torah and Prophets for centuries. We even had the NT before the Roman Catholic Church came along in 300 AD. We didn’t need the Catholics to put the Bible together. God already had His word together, OT and NT inspired by Him alone, before the Catholics came into being. Catholics came after. Also the earliest Church never referred to itself as Roman Catholic. Roman Catholicism came years down the road. Roman Catholicism also preaches a different Jesus like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witness. Jesus is not gonna be too happy about that when He comes back to judge the earth. Roman Catholics are also steeped into the most grievous sins without repentance. For example, you guys don’t rebuke pedophile priests. That is insane to me.
Actually Athanasius defined the NT canon before all those councils in his easter letter in 367. And the OT canon was already given to the Jews. So no one needed Roman Catholic councils to figure out the canon. But what is much more important: The 4th century church is NOTHING like the later Catholic church and here is conclusive proof: Between around the 1200 and 1800 thousands of people who are now accepted as Christians even by the Catholic church were brutally murdered by the Catholic church in the inquisition. The Catholic church only stopped this when it lost its worldly power due to Napoleon´s takeover of vast parts of Europe. So we have centuries of brutal mass murder of Christians that only stopped when the Catholic church was forced to stop. This conclusively debunks the Catholic church´s claim to authority. It didn´t stop because of genuine repentance. Remember, Jesus said you will know them by their fruit, not "by their apostolic succession."
I ask what came first? The Church or the New Testament? I would also ask who canonized The New Testament? The Roman Catholic Bible has 72 books and the Protestant Bible has 66. The Catholic Church has a sound doctrine for a good reason. Anyone can interpret the Bible. Apostle Paul was a part of the early Church and instructs us to follow the gospel that was given to them by Jesus Christ. “He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, then brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 The Catholic Church does not declare the Lord is an insufficient savior. The Catholic Church teaches that its members are obligated to keep the Law in order to be saved. Jesus Christ said this himself when a man came up and knelt before Jesus and asked, “good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Why do you call me good? Jesus answered. “No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: “you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother. Mark 10:17 “Baptism, good works, the sacraments, keeping the law, the sacrifice of the mass, they are under Divine condemnation.” Jesus taught and demonstrated all these things.
Nowhere in the bible does it say that water baptism removes sin. Men are told to repent (change of mind) and put thy trust in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Under the Mosaic law, water always represented a ceremonial spiritual cleansing. It's had nothing to do with removing sin. We are justified by faith Ephesians (2:8-9) We obey the commandments to imitate Christ and also to show the world we are ambassadors of Christ. So they will know us by our fruit. The temple veil was torn when Christ gave up His spirit, therefore, there is no need for a Catholic priesthood.
Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose to our justification. This can be backed up by what apostle Pauls says in Romans 6:3. “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Jesus himself instructed his disciples to make disciples and to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18) In the book of James, he states, “you see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone”. (James 2:24). James also states, “ you believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe and shudder”. (James 2:17) As far as a Catholic priesthood, apostle Paul provides his insight when receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ. “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” 1 (Corinthians 11:27)@@Disciple793

So true. David Anders. Joshua T Charles. Scott Hahn. The smartest and most learned Protestants become Catholic.

But Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And the Chirch He founded is the one to which everyone should belong. So sad people defy His prayers for unity.
Jesus was over 30 years old and asked to be baptized. The catholic church baptizes babies who are less than one year old. They didn't ask to be baptized, they had no choice.

Not allowing priests to marry is definitely a ridiculous Catholic regulation. Even Peter, their ‘first pope’ was married. Paul warned of evil men coming in and ‘forbidding men to marry’. I’m sure the church has missed the ministries of many good men because of this.
What do you think of the advice of Paul to the unmarried where he said it is good for them to stay unmarried just like himself? Is his advice ridiculous? Consecrating one's whole life to be celibate and in the service of God through priesthood is a choice. Nobody is forced into it.
@@rewindseventyseven-en6iv If you can’t see the context of this advice, there’s not much point talking to you. Paul just advised how good celibacy was for him and recommended it for others, even though Peter and others were married. It wasn’t a doctrinal requirement for ministry! And Yes, priests are forced into celibacy if they want to enter the priesthood, while married protestant ministers can enter Catholic priesthood unmarried! Talk about inconsistency! I’ll say again, this regulation is ridiculous, not Paul’s advice! Furthermore, Catholic priests have even agreed with me.

@@hosannayeshua4446 Where do you guys get such nonsense? Jesus on earth gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom meaning His Church and meaning Peter was to oversee the teaching of the apostles as Jesus sent them out to all nations to teach His word. Peter and Paul went to Rome and from here they were the final word on Christ’s teachings. Thus ROMAN Catholic. Roman Catholic is just a more formal and respectful name for Catholic. It’s like saying United States of America or just United States or just America. They are the same thing exactly. You can’t find ANYTHING, DOCTRINAL WISE, today that contradicts the Church in the early centuries no matter how hard you try and without lying. And yes like an acorn that grows into an oak tree the Church has grown in it’s UNDERSTANDING of what Christ taught because if you read your bible then you know He said there was too much to tell them at the moment. Meaning through the Holy Spirit He would continue to reveal truths BUT never contradict anything He previously taught. It’s impossible for Him to contradict Himself. The Eastern Orthodox are very, very close to Catholicism as they have the valid Eucharist and 7 sacraments for example that Protestants know nothing about and they are in near total agreement with today’s Catholic Church except for the teaching authority of the Pope They are at present in schism with the CC because they reject the papacy and it’s importance for teaching the world what Christ taught on earth. Remember the Catholic Church did not get it’s teachings and doctrines from the bible like Protestants, thus verifying they are not a true church, but the bible got it’s teachings from the Catholic Church through the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. Quit reading anti-Catholic literature and investigate for yourself if you truly want the Truth of Christ. Love and trust in the method Jesus chose to teach the world about Himself. Sorry for so long but necessary.
Just wanted to point out that what I learned from Protestants who became Catholic and Catholics who became Protestant. It can be quite revealing. I have yet to meet a former Catholic who actually understood their former faith (again, bad catechesis). And almost every Catholic I've met who used to be Protestant has been a practical encyclopedia of both Protestant and Catholic theology. Some of the biggest names in Catholic apologetics are former Protestant pastors. Unfortunately, Mike Gendron falls into the category of not being properly educated in his former Catholic faith and then spread this false information to those who don’t know better. My advice to anyone who truly wants to follow Christ is to go watch a conversion testimony of former Protestant who became Catholic (there’s literally thousands of videos) and then ask yourself why so many educated leaders of the Protestant community have converted?
Another observation I would like to add is you'll notice that Protestants who converted from the Catholic faith always seem to have bad experiences and have nothing but bad things to say of their former faith. On the other hand, Protestants who became Catholic almost always say good things about their former Protestant denomination. The reason they decided to convert to Catholicism is based solely based on teachings of the faith (theology and not experiences).... If you watch any conversion video you'll instantly see what I'm talking about.
@@Henry-eh2jk I will tell you why I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. I originally became a Christian because of the evidence that supported the Bible. And when I realized the Bible was true, I just started going to a Protestant church because I just did not know the difference between Christian groups. And then I started taking classes at Fuller Seminary. I read Church history books like those from then Protestant Jaroslav Pelikan a Yale History professor and Philip Schaff who wrote an 8 volume set on Christian Church History. And even these great scholars write extensively and convincingly that the early Christian Church was the Catholic Church; and they show that Luther’s view of "forensic justification" was an invention of the 1500’s. I grew up an atheist and so I had no axe to grind or no preconceived notions. But when I carefully read the New Testament, I saw that Jesus Christ made 3 predictions about his Church. And these three predictions are the predictions that made me believe in the Bible in the first place. If Jesus was not a real person or if he was not really resurrected from the dead, then these predictions would have never come true. But these are the 3 predictions Christ makes: Prediction 1. Christ said that his church would be persecuted and its members would be killed. Now that was a ridiculous prediction in the Roman empire which was religiously tolerant. They did not target people and kill them for religious reasons. Why would they kill the followers of someone who promotes peace?
Prediction 2. Jesus said that his church would be unified. He said there would be a church that could be considered as "one" that was unified in love and unified in doctrine. And Paul reiterates that in saying that the church has to agree on everything. Paul makes it a sin to create dissensions in the church. And Paul states that the average person should not be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The New Testament clearly references one Church not a multiple set of churches with contradicting doctrines. Prediction 3. Jesus also said that his church would go to all nations. If Jesus was just a normal human who died like all of the other people who started religious movements, then this again is a ridiculous claim.
Any one of these claims could have come true by accident but it was impossible for me to believe that all of these predictions by Christ could occur by accident. That is why I became a Christian in the first place. But when you look at the church and see which one it was that did all of these 3 things Christ predicted, which one was it? It was clearly the Catholic Church if you read any seminary level church history book.
What church was it in which its leaders and bishops were targeted by the Romans and executed? Men like Clement of Rome; Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna? It was the Catholic Church that this happened to. You can read any church history book and see how the Bishops of Rome were known to the authorities as leaders of the Katholicos Ekklysia (or Catholic Church) and were hunted down to be executed.
And which church was it that somehow stayed unified through all of the heresies that came along with the Gnostics and with Arius and the Docetists and others? Which church was it that held the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, and Constantinople in 381 AD, then Ephesus in 431 AD and Chalcedon in 451 AD? The church that held those councils which kept Christianity clearly was the Catholic Church. We know who the Bishop of Rome was when each of those Councils occurred and he was seen as the leader of the College of Bishops. By 150 AD the entire church operated with the Bishop of Rome at the helm and with a “monoepsicopacy” form of government in place. It was in these Councils and others we see the church decipher core doctrines like the Trinity, the two natures of Christ existing in one person, and the development of the New Testament Canon. What church was it that did all of these things? It was obviously the Catholic Church. There was no Christian “group” or “sect” or “church” anywhere in the first 1,500 years of Christianity that believed in 1) Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers SEPARATE and in exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. A church with those beliefs simply did not exist. Not only was there not a group or church taught those later “Protestant” ideas together; there was not even one early church Father who taught those 3 things together. You cannot find one Church father arguing for these 3 tenets of Protestantism 1)Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers to the exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. Not a single Father. You may be able to find some quotes here or there that look like they may somehow, possibly point to one of these ideas. But no father argues for all together like any Protestant would do. In addition, most of these alleged quotes from the Fathers that can be dug up to maybe, somehow, in some way point to one of those Protestant sounding ideas, I guarantee you that if you look at all of their writings you will see that that particular Father clearly shows his views are Catholic. I wanted to know and so I did that exercise. Read Matthew J. Thomas’s work called “Paul’s ‘Works of the Law’ in the Perspective of Second Century Reception.” Thomas used to work for the famous JI Packer and he was hired to go through the church fathers and find any quotes that would maybe, perhaps somehow support “sola fide” or other Protestant doctrines. But even when he found some vague quote that might look like it supported “sola fide” that same Father’s other writings clearly showed that they did not hold that view. Or read Doug Beaumont’s work “Evangelical Exodus.” Beaumont worked for the Protestant scholar Norman Geisler and was hired to do the same thing which was to look for quotes in the Fathers’ that might seem, maybe, somehow, of you thought of them in a certain way to point to one of those views that came with “Protestantism” in 1500’s. Thomas and Beaumont along with 7 other people who contribute to the book “Evangelical Exodus” all discovered the same thing. The early Church was clearly Catholic and not remotely Protestant in structure nor doctrine. Joshua Betancourt even hesitantly wrote an anti-Catholic book with Giesler and from what he discovered in the evidence of the early Church he converted to Catholicism because he discovered that the early Church was Catholic, and the primary Christian Church that existed for the first 1500 years was Catholic. It is a fruitless exercise to try to believe that the early Church believed Protestant things. Even the Protestant history books I read at Fuller seminary admitted that Luther’s views of "forensic justification" and "sola fide" were new views developed in the 1500’s. Protestant Scholar Philip Schaff in his extensive 8 Volume History of the Christian Church writes: "If anyone expects to find in any of the church fathers, including Augustine himself, the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone … will be greatly disappointed."
And the church history scholar Alister MacGrath states that the Luther’s view of salvation was a complete “theological novum.” Novum means “novelty” (I am so stupid I had to look it up). Even Norman Giesler confronts the question of whether Christians for the first 1500 years of Christianity could be saved because Luther himself argued that if someone did not agree with Luther’s doctrine, Luther claimed that such a person could not be saved. But Giesler writes that Luther’s view was ridiculous because it would mean that no one was saved for 1500 years. Giesler writes: “One can be saved without believing that imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) is an essential part of the true gospel. Otherwise, few people were saved between the time of Paul and the Reformation, since scarcely anyone taught imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) during that period!” The Lutheran scholar Hartmann Grisar addresses why the mature Luther does not try to use church fathers including Augustine the great to support his new doctrine. Grisar writes: "It is not surprising that at a later date (after Luther was challenged) Luther hesitated to appeal to St. Augustine in support of his doctrine [of imputed righteousness] … AUGUSTINE AND ALL THE DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH ARE DECIDEDLY AGAINST HIM." About “Sola Scriptura” the Luther Scholar Heiko Oberman who wrote the book Luther: Man Between God and the Devil wrote on page 220: "Application of the Reformation principle of sola scriptura, the Scriptures alone, has not brought the certainty [Luther] anticipated. It has in fact been responsible for a multiplicity of explanations and interpretations that seem to render ABSURD any dependence on the clarity of the Scriptures" (Luther: Man Between God and the Devil, 220). If people want to believe that Christ started a church and then let it fail for 1500 years and then brought forth Luther, Melancthon, Karlstadt, Agricola, Bucer, Muncer, Zwingli, Calvin, Simons, Knox, John Smith, King Henry, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, and Charles Russell and a few dozen others to claim to put the true church on earth; I can’t stop them. But I am going to believe what the early Christians believed and that is that Christ started the Catholic Church. That is what history shows and that is one reason why so many people convert to Catholicism. God bless you
Even if we don’t get the religion right we can still be saved, we have a fair and just God, we can make the assumption that he judges based on our knowledge. If you disagree with this you have to then ask about lives in other countries, who can’t worship our God, do you think our God would let them into hell if they were never exposed to Jesus?
@@RyanJosephBills Yes. God's elect will hear his voice and come to him. He owes no man salvation. Those that have been given it by grace are truly blessed.
Jesus came down to earth and was crucified as absorption for our sins. The Bible shows the past present and further events. He knew he was going to be crucified and did it sinless to save humanity. Accept Jesus as your savior and get a Bible. Jesus is amazing ❤️
@@debbiemartin2026 Please go back to God's Word; He has already answered you in the very next verse. Our good works are a gift from God. If faith does not make the attonement insufficient because it is a gift from God, then our good works do not make the attonement insufficient because they are also a gift from God.
Remember the time Jesus told the thief on the cross would he with him in paradise after he prayed to the saints, got baptized in water and partook in the Eucharist, waaaait a minute 🤔🤔
Unfortunately, I think Mike has misunderstood various Catholic expressions of faith and the gift of salvation. I'm not Catholic, but I plan to be. Firstly, I've always questioned Catholicism's apostolic succession and divine mandate of the Magisterium. But when Jesus declared Peter the rock on which He would found His church, He did so after asking: Who do you say I am? And Peter responded by saying the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. And then Jesus said that Peter was blessed because it was revealed to him by God. That is the beginning of the Catholic church and apostolic succession. And, I think that Catholics accept the idea of divine revelation/interpretation amongst the Magisterium and Papacy because of that divine revelation to Peter, the first Pope. That does not in any way mean that everything declared by the Catholic church is true by any means, but it does mean, that after solemn consideration, on matters of faith and morality, that God reveals His Word to the head of the church, and to us, by allowing the church head to guide us just as Jesus did. The Catholic church has been led astray through our own human fault in the application of those morals in regard to things like Prudential Judgement, and that's perfectly okay. But the Dogma and the Infallible teachings of the Catholic church are mostly believed by all Christians in general I think. And, most Christian teachings originate from the Catholic church's teachings as well-- including scripture. So, if scripture was inspired by God, and compiled together by the early church under divine guidance, then, that must mean that at that time, the Magisterium did indeed have divine guidance by God revealing His Grace through them:) X Also, Baptism is not necessary for salvation. None of the sacraments are necessary for salvation; they are expressions of true faith. In my understanding, Catholics have this idea that yes, the sacraments are necessary-- however, if that necessity is revealed to you, then you are bound to use it. The sacraments are not necessary for the ignorant through no fault of their own. God has bound salvation to the sacrament of baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments. www.catholic.com/qa/is-baptism-necessary-for-salvation-or-not
Not true, you are missed informed. The Catholic Church believes in being saved by grace through faith, however sanctification should be attempted by following the 10th commandments. Get this right we’re all saved by grace, but santification it’s a constant work between the Holy Spirit and aligning our selves with gods will.
Oh my, every one of the 6 justifications are full of misinterpretation and misinformation. And what did Martin Luther do to the faith? He hated Jews, changed the Bible, and introduced 13000 different churches-each one believing what they think is true.
Martin Luther opened our eyes to a murderous regime - every accusation of Christians killing is because of Catholic violence: the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).
He is brazenly displaying his ignorance about the Catholic faith. His narrative are merely a figment of his fertile imagination and an urban legend at best.
We have fact checked you and you are lying. What do you have to say about that? You are lying and you accuse Mike of lying. A loyal, true, and proud lying catholic. Hallelujah! May God open the eyes of your heart.
Mike tells you the truth. Why can't the catholic church tell the truth? Because if the catholic church would tell you the truth about the catholic church; you would choose not to be catholic. The catholic church denies the Grace of God, also. The catholic church will reap what it sows; eternal confusion. Hallelujah! Thank you Jesus for your perfect Justice
correct, that's the problem... scripture specifically says NOT to do that. He explained that well. Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you". This warning was given to the Israelites after they wandered in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 12:32 "What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it". Revelation 22:18-19 "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book". As for your "sacred" traditions, scripture warned the jews about holding their traditions as God's standard as well. Matthew 6:27 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’[c]” As long as you have a man made doctrine that you have elevated to the same status as God's word, the two will always be in conflict.
@let_freedom_ping It says no such thing: Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15).
@provision777 Looking Contextually at Mk 7:6-8, it's a reference to Is 29:13 where Isaiah reprimand Jerusalem for consulting its politicians while rejecting the prophets. Because their leaders routinely exclude the Lord, and rely on their own wisdom; their worship of the Lord has become empty and vain. Here in Mark, the pharisees have fallen into the same trap of rejecting God's wisdom in favor of their own. (Mt 23:23; Col 2:20-23). When you look at context, it shows how Christ and Paul absolutely do not contradict each other regarding tradition.
I was a born into roman catholic religion and belived it was the right way til when i turned 24 , god opened my eyes. As a roman cqtholic i was praying to scriptures which is very bad god said in the bible that we shall not pray tp any statues , animals , people but olny to god. Also i was praying to mary. I belive in her and respect her but i dont pray to her shes not god. Everything hes saying is right. Thats my answet to ur question And i pray for all my catholic brohter and sisters to be saved and may god open your.eyes. i was blinded too .
Let this be a reminder to everyone that Mike Gendron did not read his bible a single time in his entire 35 years of "devout" catholocism. Doesn't sound very devout to me. This is a fact, look him up. That is probably why, when he finally did, he did not know how to interpret it, and then left the church.
That’s a bold move to say reject the thoughts and teaching of St Thomas Aquinas on the blessed nature of Mary and her intercessory role. I do like the counterpoints though, even if each of them grossly misunderstandings of Catholic teaching, He clearly loves Jesus though, and I commend him on defending his position as he sees it, in defence of Jesus and the Father
@@duckymomo7935 the brain snapping move by people like you to reject Mary, the Mother of God, who the angel said was Full of Grace is heartbreaking. What then of the Saints who were raised by God when Jesus was resurrected? Yourself, have you never gone to your mother seeking some sort of intercession to your own father? Don’t you see it as a sign of respect for the most exalted fully human that ever lived? Catholics don’t worship her, we worship Jesus. We pray to Jesus, but we also recognise that Mary is such a pivotal person who is in heaven with our Lord, she is to be exalted as the Saints are, and we seek her intercession with her Son as a sign of utter respect I don’t get why you discredit her so. Would you show the same disrespect to your own mother? Astounding !!!
@@eddiej9733 Dude. Stop it. Jesus himself rejected Mary. On more than one occasion too! Please read the real Bible. Come on parrot Matthew 12:48-Jesus' Mother and Brothers 46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers[a] stood outside, asking to speak to him.[b] 48 But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” Luke 11:27-28True Blessedness 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” 1 Timothy 4 4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5 because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
@@eddiej9733 Parrot. Please pay special attention to the Matthew 12 passage I shared. Now I will explain it to you. Mary is OUTSIDE. Just like one of the virgins in the parable, who forgot to refill her lamp and was thus shut OUTSIDE and the door was not opened to her. Now leave your cult immediately. Save as many people as you can, take them with you out of the backslidden pagan cult, who burn incense to the queen of heaven.
@@br.m on the contrary. Both Matt12:48 and Luke 11:27 are examples of Jesus using the benchmark of his mother and spiritual brothers as benchmarks for what we should attain by believing in Him. He used Her as an example of the regard the Lord will have if they believe. These verses are an affirmation of Mary’s special place. But that Jesus is concerned primarily with the salvation of every soul. I can understand a Christian to have a largely benign regard for Mary, on account of say having done little research into what great Christian minds have thought and taught since the earthly time of the Lord, but to specifically denigrate Mary and Jesus’ regard for Mary is the sign that we are offered doctrines of demons in these days. Again, I stress that I’m not talking about the worship of Mary. Let’s take that off the table for once and got all. Veneration is a totally different thing.
Roman Catholics are required to keep the whole of the law? Really? They have to be circumcised, celebrate the Passover and the feast of booths etc…? I never knew that….
Roman Catholic are encouraged to have strong faith, to believe in Jesus’s return as son of god and died on the cross to absorb our sins to make access for us to go to heaven. We are all sinners but we try our best not to sin. And no they don’t have to be circumcised. This video above is anti catholic, sad. The second coming of Christ is due, google it, 3 days and 3 nights of darkness. Jesus is the way the light and the truth and the only way. He has made many appearances to people, which has led to a massive Jesus movement at the moment and conversion from other religions to Catholicism. We have been warned in the word of god to be aware of false gods, ie other religions. Glory to Lord Jesus ❤ and peace to you my friend
There are a few errors/exaggerations in the presentation, but I was a serious Catholic for Decades and his descriptions of Catholic Doctrines are pretty close. I had such a great time in a large youth club of 800 at my Catholic Church, and a Catholic education that it took me decades before I could even see some of the flaws in the Catholic Doctrines.
@@emmanuelochieng I am sure that Heaven is full of Catholics and Protestants. But not all Catholics go to heaven and not all Protestants go to heaven. Sure the Catholic Church is full of false doctrines.
@@emmanuelochieng The part about Roman Catholics being required to keep "The whole of the law" is plainly absurd. Are Catholics circumcised? Do they have to celebrate the passover, or the feast of booths etc.... It's just a ridiculous things to say.
Mike's opinion of Roman Catholism is wrong. It's very sad! He obviously doesn't know Cathoic dogma and doctrine. 1. Catholic Church preaches and teaches the true gospel. The 7 sacraments of the Catholic Church are all founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ! Mike needs to read all of scripture. 2. The bulwark of truth is the Church. 1 Tim 3:15 DRV. Also, St Paul states "Hold fast to the traditions thought to you either by word or letter. See 1 Thess 2:14 DRV. 3. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave full authority to the keys of the kingdom of God to St. Peter. You can trace the succession of Catholic and clergy to the apostles and Christ! 4. The Catholic priests have the authority to exercise and to minister the sacraments by Our Lord Jesus. According to the Dogma of the Catholic Church, there is only one mediator between God and Man and that is Jesus Christ!. Catholic Church teaches of the communion of saints. This is the great cloud of witness. See Heb 12:1. 5. The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist was instituted by Christ at the last supper. Jesus also states that you must eat his flesh and blood. See John 6: 50 -59. 6. Again, Christ gave his full authority to his Church to baptize, preach, cast out demons, making disciplines of all nations! With that authority the Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests have the power and authority given to them by Christ. The priests are representing Christ and his Holy Church. Protestantism is an evil because it denies the authority of Christ and his Holy Church. It denies the sanctifying grace of the sacraments. It denies the holiness of the Blessed Mary Ever Virgin and her Queenship. Also, Mike and all Protestants do not accept the Magisturiom of the Catholic Church. Catholic Doctrine and Dogma has been defined by Christ, the apostles and church fathers through councils for over 2 thousand years. Also, St Peter warned the faithful. See 2 Peter 3:16 DRV. "The words of our brother Paul are difficult to understand and many twist scripture to their own destruction." Since Our Lord founded his Holy Church, the Roman Catholic Church. You can't separate him from his church; therefore, there is no salvation outside the Holy Catholic Church! Heretics will not enter into the kingdom of God! REPENT AND BECOME CATHOLIC if you are not Catholic! Your soul depends on it!
As I have stated, Our Lord Jesus Christ gave full authority to his Holy Church. He gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to St. Peter, and he gave all the apostles the authority to forgive sins. See John 20:23, " Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. Also, see James 5:16 " Confess your sins one another, and pray one for another, that you may be saved..."
Christians trust the death, burial,and resurrection of Jesus for their forgiveness of sin and for their salvation. Catholics don't. They must do more because the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is not enough. Jesus loves you and Jesus died for your sins, too.
I was raised catholic but God in His unsearchable Mercies opened my eyes circumcised my heart and called me out of the catholic cult. All the Glory and praise to God! Hallelujah!
@@Shskfjekdnf38587'For by Grace you have been saved by faith and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God not of works lest any man boast' Ephesians 2:8-9 Salvation is by Grace alone through Faith alone in Christ alone.
Catholics only worship God, to suggest otherwise is devious & false. As Prots don’t sacrifice, they don’t worship properly & hence don’t understand worship. Eucharist is essential for salvation Jn 6 51-59
I am Apostolic Pentecostal. I cannot speak for all of my belief, but our church believes you must do what we call Communion. This is a special service that we do where we partake of unleavened bread, and wine, in remembernce of Jesus dying for us on the cross. We also do footwashing in this special service. I think the big difference here is that we believe this bread and wine is symbolic for Jesus' flesh and blood, where the Catholic church believes it to actually turn into his true flesh and blood as you eat/drink it. I think this is why many think the Catholic church gets it wrong. I'm sorry to tell you this, but it does not miraculously turn into REAL blood, and REAL flesh. It is symbolic. He said do this in REMEMBERANCE of me. Not that it is LITERALLY Him. Nor should we in some ritual act as if we are resacrificing Him again... He did it once, and that was sufficient. He never said to reinact or do some ritual of recrucifying Him again. He just said to partake of the unleavened bread and wine in rememberance of Him. Lastly, I can kind of see the point of thinking you are committing idolatry, if you really do believe that this eucharist is LITERALLY the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, so much, to where you would worship it as it is being lifted and then set upon the alter? We are not to build items and then worship them... end of argument.. literally no exceptions were given in the bible to this rule, it doesnt matter if someone comes along and says "well this item is Jesus Christ" no, it is not... do not worship ANY idols or graven images of any sort.
I grew up in the Catholic church. Have family that are Catholic, have friends that grew up Catholic, so on and so on. From what I have seen, my experience, Catholics are more devoted to being Catholic than they are to surrendering fully to Christ. This video is 100% correct.
Exactly how can u be Catholic without surrendering yourself to Jesus Christ , how can u separate the two . Maybe u are one those who don’t believe in Catholic teaching , but if ur honest u would know that in order to be a devoted Catholic u have to surrender yourself to Christ , having said that there Catholics who are simply Catholics in name just like there prostetants who are simply Protestant in name . Otherwise if ur arguments was correct then we would not have all the saints that have lived extra ordinary lives given to them by the grace of God . Being Catholic is the to believe and have a relationship with Christ through the Eucharist
@katanaevelyn6813 All Christians, according to scripture, are saints, not a select few chosen by a religion. A religion doesn't get to tell God who saints are.
Also as most of my family is Catholic, I can say that the idea of surrendering to Christ is not a familiar idea. Not as familiar as the Catholic creed, confession to a priest, praying through anyone other Jesus Christ etc, etc. Jesus plus anything is not Christianity.
This is why I do not call the leader of the catholic religion "pope". The word "pope" means father or "pater" in Latin. He is most certainly not my father, in any way shape or form. GOD tells us in the Word to call no one father, perhaps because He knew that the leader of the catholic faith will be called that by billions of ill-informed people, globally.
@@timesupea Of course He didn't have a church, He was Jewish and went to a temple. His church refers to the people that follow His teachings. Christ told us He had no place to lay His head. I don't see why you would think I would spit on Him. I surely hope you're not insinuating I go around spitting on homeless people.
He also said to cut your hand and pluck your eyes out if they made tou sin. That's for law keeping unbelievers, who try to work out their own righteousness, not for the saved members of his body, the Church, who accepted the free gift of salvation. We know we cannot keep the law, that's how we know we need Jesus.
Very inaccurate go back to the beginning what did the early Christians believe Nowhere in scripture does it say Bible alone you must be deliberately forgetting St Paul’s words on tradition
You thought this was interesting? It was a joke . This guy is so anti catholic . He’ll probably never go back on Bryan Mercier’s podcast after Bryan taught him a lesson about the catholic faith .
Actually Athanasius defined the NT canon before all those councils in his easter letter in 367. And the OT canon was already given to the Jews. So no one needed Roman Catholic councils to figure out the canon. But what is much more important: The 4th century church is NOTHING like the later Catholic church and here is conclusive proof: Between around the 1200 and 1800 thousands of people who are now accepted as Christians even by the Catholic church were brutally murdered by the Catholic church in the inquisition. The Catholic church only stopped this when it lost its worldly power due to Napoleon´s takeover of vast parts of Europe. So we have centuries of brutal mass murder of Christians that only stopped when the Catholic church was forced to stop. This conclusively debunks the Catholic church´s claim to authority. It didn´t stop because of genuine repentance. Remember, Jesus said you will know them by their fruit, not "by their apostolic succession."
@@D12Min Anathasius was a Catholic Bishop, although he was the first person to define the canon the church still needed a council for it to be proclaimed as a formal canon.
@@j11_gAthanasius was not a Catholic in the modern sense. He would consider interreligious ecumenism with pagans as straight apostasy. The point was that no council was needed for people to get the canon right. They simply looked at which writings were apostolic. My second point, the mass murderous history of the medieval Catholic church, is of course much more important.
@@D12Min Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. Some historians are convinced that millions died. But according to Professor Agostino Borromeo, a historian of Catholicism at the Sapienza University in Rome and curator of the 783-page volume released yesterday, only 1% of the 125,000 people tried by church tribunals as suspected heretics in Spain were executed.
Catholic is a man-made religion ….. if you’re a Christian then you should know that you’re not a baptist, catholic, mormon, muslim, apostolic, lutheran, greek orthodox, 7 day adventist etc… Roman 16: 17-18

Thank you brother Mike for clarifying Gods word on these lies of the Catholic Church. I have many family members who are catholic and are so deceived because they don’t read there bible. My grandmother who I had a chance to talk to thought she was famed to hell because of her sin because of what the Catholic Church teaches. May the Lord continue to expose the lies of this false religion and wake up His elect that have been deceived by this false doctrine.
@catholictruth102The Bible says this about catholic prayer; And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
The worst thing Catholicism has done is failed to properly Catechize its laity. Their doctrine is sound and steadfast. As a Protestant I envy the level of clarity and understanding why have.
Mike didn't explain catholicism. He didn't try. His six points showed how the catholic religion is not biblical. Catholics defy the word of God and they are proud of it.
You're without pride, are you? And people liked your post? Some deeper self examination on your part, & some greater discernment on theirs might be order.
Once again, the catholic church is trying to take credit for what God has done. You are proving Mike to be right with what he says and have proven the catholic church to be a liar. Thank you for your honesty. Hallelujah Thank you Jesus for your perfect Word
@@liamsmith1371 Just another catholic; proud, loyal, deceived and lying, in Jesus name The Bible says that your outcome will be what your actions deserve
This man is lying. For example he quotes “If anyone adds anything… if anyone takes words away…” In that case every Protestant is in big trouble because Luther removed 7 books from the Bible and added “only” or “alone” so that he could claim faith alone. The one place in the Bible where “faith alone” or “faith only” exists outside of Luther’s changed version is in James where he says, “not by faith alone.” You need to read the whole Bible, not just a few clips that distort it’s meaning to fit Luther’s agenda and that of many others. Simply, Luther seems to have started with good intentions but became a heretic.
God give us His begotten son Jesus ; Jesus gave us the Catholic Church ; the Catholic Church gave us the Bible . Catholics respect both scripture and the church . Protestants mass is the like attending TED talks .
Protestantism-itself has absolutely no foundation in Sacred Scripture. As a matter of history, this is where Protestantism came from: Martin Luther taught a doctrine, justification by faith alone, that was never taught by a single Christian for 1,500 years. In fact, it is, as explicitly as I can imagine, contradicted by St. James in James 2:24. In fact, Andre, what I found is, the only place in the entire Bible where the words “faith alone” are found, the words “not by” are right in front of them: “We see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.” You have Matthew 12:36 and 37 where Jesus, speaking in the context of the final judgement, says-in verse 37, I’ll focus on-“by your words you will be justified, by your words you will be condemned.” Words are more than just faith. That’s something you say, something you do. In Romans 2:6 and 7, St. Paul says, “God will reward each man according to his works. To him who continues in good works, his reward shall be glory, incorruption, and everlasting life.” There, St. Paul says everlasting life is a reward for good works. Now, is faith involved? Absolutely. Its constitutive of the salvific act in the life of a believer. You have to be a believer to be sure. “We are justified by faith,” Romans 5:1 says, but the problem was, “faith alone” is nowhere to be found. In Galatians 6:7, for example, St. Paul says, “Let no man be deceived: God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows-” any farmer knows that’s something you do, sowing seeds- “Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap. If he continues to sow to the flesh, he shall of the flesh reap death; if he continues to sow to the spirit, he shall of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Let us therefore not grow weary in well-doing, for we shall reap the reward-” What reward? Everlasting life, “-if we faint not.” Or if, as one translation says, “if we do not lose heart.” My brother, I could go down a litany of more verses here, but here’s the bottom line: what I found is, Martin Luther’s justification by faith, which became what he called the doctrine upon which the Church rises or falls-that’s his most important doctrine-was absolutely un-Biblical, absolutely false, and this colored the Reformation, and has for the last 500 years. Now there are some Protestant sects who have moved away from justification by faith alone, and get it closer to correct; but the overwhelming majority of reformers in John Calvin, who-you know, that’s a whole ‘nother hour we could talk about John Calvin-you know, got us even further off track from what the Bible clearly teaches. So Andre, I look at that, and then I look at what Jesus clearly taught in the Bible. He didn’t give us a Bible, He gave us a Church. Jesus said, for example in Matthew 18:15-18, He says-and this is instructions that are perennial till the end of time, Andre-He says, “If your brother shall offend against thee, go tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you’ve gained your brother.” If he won’t hear you, what do you do? You don’t get your Bible out and start arguing; He says, “Take one or two with you, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he will not even hear them, tell it to the church; and the one who fails to hear the church shall be as a heathen and a publican.” In other words, Jesus established the Church to be His authority to speak for Him; that’s exactly what we see happen in the book of Acts-in Acts chapter 15 Andre, I’ll give you homework-when there was a heresy that threatened to tear a fledgling church apart there in Antioch in the first century, what did they do? Paul and Barnabas came in, tried to settle it; they couldn’t settle it. What did they do? They had a council, the Church declared on the matter, and the matter was settled. That’s the way the Church functioned, and my friend, as a matter of history, the Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, will tell you, if you go to its entry on the Catholic Church, you will find it’s the Church started by Jesus in 33 AD. The fact is, that’s how the Church-one, holy Catholic, and apostolic-functioned for 1,500 years until some men came along and started teaching traditions of men that contradicted the Word of God.
Since you mentioned history, do you think the selling of indulgences was ordained by God? Was that a good thing? Why did they add books to the canon of scripture in response to the reformation? Were they wrong for the first 1,000 years? What about their riff with Galileo the time they were wrong about the earth being the center of the solar system? What about the Spanish inquisition? What about the crusades? We could go on. I'm interested to see how someone can defend these things that point to the love of power and money instead of the love of God. The catholic church keeps changing - It is not the same church of 1,500 years ago.
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing Love.

"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible". -St. Thomas Aquinas
I won't disagree w that Statement,so long as the focus is Christ and not a sinner saved by grace or not.
Aquila’s wasn’t the problem, the papacy and false doctrines are
The RC can get things right
Lol that quote actually agrees with what Mike Gendron is saying. The Catholic cult defies the scriptures at every turn and contradicts every single Biblical doctrine.
aquinas was the goof who taught contrary God's Command about coveting, supporting theft for 'common good'.
this is just a cop out , since Scripture exposes stooges like aquinas.
All doctrinal truth for salvation is contained in the Bible alone.
why did Jesus say in Mt 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, *but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven*. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.’
Context is key: Jesus was speaking to the JEWS OF JERUSALEM about endtime Prophecy long before the gentiles/heathens were added to salvation in acts 10. While Jesus was still living he infact forbids to preach to gentiles as he was not yet rejected by the "lost sheep of Israel" that he came to save first and foremost (Matthew 10:5).
Seeing this, the context of that passage is that many Jews (as seen in the Endtime judgment Prophecy of matthew 25) will claim to know God and accept Christ as a prophet/teacher (Lord, Lord: Rabbuni, Rabbuni) but will still reject Christ as Messiah and 2nd Divine Person of God.
This is why they say "Lord, Lord" but lacking faith in the cross of Christ (as Jews and Muslims do) will still be thrown into hell.
The key to the statement is the word “iniquity”. Jesus was saying that on judgement day there will be a great many people who believe that intellectually agreeing that He is the Son of God is equivalent to salvation. It is NOT. One who is saved is incapable of living in continual, unrepentant sin (iniquity).
Those who do that are deceiving themselves.
@@a-sheep-of-christ would they be prophesying in Jesus name, would they be casting out demons in Jesus name or doing deeds of power in Jesus name???? If they would not believe in the cross of Christ
So how can you say that
Phil 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Mt 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit,
1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,
2 Peter 3:17 You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability.

Its interesting that Jesus saves his harshest critisism towards religious institutions. When you are part of such an institution you are blinded to the truth. Fortunately, the truth is only found in one person and this truth will set you free. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life.

@@casey8726 All of us, who believe, . . and follow, regardless of label.
Amen. Why should we follow a protestant church that only formed 500 years ago, when we have the Catholic and Orthodox churches that were formed 2,000 years ago by Jesus and His Apostles? It makes no sense. Especially since we have TONS of historical evidence proving that :
1) Early Christians baptized children all the time. This is not just noticed in ancient Christian pictures on the walls of ancient churches, but is also mentioned in the Bible :
Acts 2: 38 "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, EVERY ONE OF YOU, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
This promise belongs to you AND YOUR CHILDREN and to all who are far off-to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
And let us not forget what Jesus said when the Apostles tried to stop parents from bringing their children to Jesus : “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
And also : Acts 16:33 "At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and ALL HIS HOUSEHOLD were baptized."
The household includes children. There are actually 3 times the Bible states that a family was baptized, but NOT ONCE does it ever say "...except for the children." It NEVER says that. It is as clear as daylight.
Yes traditions by God not men. The Catholic Church insists upon the traditions of men being equal to God’s. We are to honor the traditions laid out by the Bible not Roman Catechism.

You find the word ‘catholic’ in the Bible at Acts 5:11 and Acts 9:31. ‘Catholic’ is a Greek word, of course, so you need the New Testament in Greek if you wish to see it. The phrase "Kata holos" is lost when translated from the original Greek into English. In English, at Acts 5:11, the phrase "holos[en] ecclesia” or the “whole entire church" is found. In Acts 9:31 the English may render “the church throughout" but in Greek it is "Ai men oun Eccelesia kath holos" which literally translates as "Then truly the Church Cath-olic”; reading in its entirety:
“Then truly the Church Catholic rested in Judea and Galilee and Samaria and were edified and walking in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Ghost were multiplied." - Acts 9:31.
“Kath-holos’ means universal, of all nations, throughout, of the whole. It is a good description of Christ’s church. After all, Jesus said in Mark 11:7, “My House shall be called of all nations the House of prayer.”
Rom. 11:18, 21 “Do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you . . . 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, *He will not spare you either* .
He writes his own condemnation for all to see here forever as the synagogue of Satan.
By his stubbornness and impenitent heart, he is storing up wrath for himself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, “who will repay everyone according to his works” (Rom 2:5-6).
SACRED DEPOST OF FAITH:
The words of Christ are true to the deposit of faith handed down in word and spirit John 14:26) entrusted to his true believers, believing with their whole heart and life, (2 Tim. 1:6) by the laying on of hands. “First of all know this, there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, 21 for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God” - 2 Peter 1:20-21. God’s written word indicates that no prophesy is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophesy ever came through human will . . . so we are not to rely on our own interpretations alone. When we rely on ourselves only solo scriptura can become our idol, and what prevents someone from picking up the Bible and making it say whatever they wish it to say? Nothing at all for as Jesus says: ""You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them" John 5:39a, and continues to say that "they testify on my behalf".
The apostles appointed people entrusted with the deposit of faith (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 1:14; Jude 3) to preserve the faith and feed the sheep (Jn 21:17) to the end, and the gates of hell will not prevail against those (Mt. 16:18).
"19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.” - Mt. 28:19-20.
“Without parables he did not speak to them, but *to his own disciples he explained everything in private* ”. - Mark 4:34.
“He said to them in reply, “ *Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted* .” - Matthew 13:11
“Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, *he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures* . . . *Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures* .”- Luke 24:27, 44.
26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name- *he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you* . - John 14:26.
“The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but *I will tell you clearly about the Father* .” - John 16:25.
“And so I say to you *you are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church* and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew 16:18.
7 Of this I became a minister by the gift of God’s grace that was granted me in accord with the exercise of his power. 8 To me, the very least of all the holy ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the inscrutable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light [for all] what is the plan of the mystery hidden from ages past in God who created all things, 10 *so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church* to the principalities and authorities in the heavens. - Eph. 3:7-10;
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are [in Ephesus] faithful in Christ Jesus . . . 9 *he has made known to us the mystery of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him* 10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth. Eph. 1, 9.
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Christ in Colossae: grace to you and peace from God our Father. . .
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of his body, which is *the church of which I am a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to me to bring to completion for you the word of God* , 26 the mystery hidden from ages and from generations past. But now it has been manifested to his holy ones. Col. 1, 24-26.

What should offend you is the blasphemous traditional culture customary things this doctrine chooses over the Lord and Word. He states truth facts all in your Bible but as a catholic myself of 40yrs no catholic takes the Holy Bible as authority we uses traditions over the Word.
Will, this is typical of the uninstructed. Remember Bishop Sheen's famous quote,
"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
Don't mind them. They do not know of what they speak of. I listened to this man who has no knowledge of Yeshua's Church.
Remember, you are a member of the Church Jesus built. The church was founded by Jesus himself, filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, what the first Apostles lead is not a human institution run on the whims of a few men, it is a divinely founded guided Church, serving as the living representation of the Kingdom of heaven on earth.
Read Matthew 16:18, "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church" (The Aramaic word Képa meaning rock which translates into Greek as Képhas is the name by which Peter is called in the Pauline letters) Read the entire chapter for better context. The Catholic Church is the one true 'visible' church.
Romans 16:17-18, "I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you learned; avoid them. For such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by fair and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the innocent."
Be aware some posting comments and videos attempt to create division. In 2 Peter 2:1, "There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing shift destruction on themselves."
This speaker in the video also interprets the bible how he sees it. However, 2 Peter 1:20-21, "Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will, but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God."
Saint Peter rules out sola scriptura.
These lost brothers and sisters of ours unfortunately follow man made street corner churches. They broke off in the 16th century and claim they know better. They removed 7 books to fit their belief system.
Many will claim to be Catholic and say, I was a member of it for X amount of years, then speak to create division, when they have not fully embraced the Lord.
Strong and well informed protestants will find their home one day in the Catholic church. Weak Catholics will become protestants. I pray one day they will return to the One True Church.

SADLY, after looking into the doctrine, and knowing the Bible I have to agree with the opening statements. It saddens my heart to say as there are good people I love who are Catholic, but it is not aligned with the Bible. I wish I was wrong on this, believe me..
Just as the Constitution can’t interpret itself, the Bible can’t interpret itself either. Only through tradition, scripture and the teaching authority of the church can the word of God be fully understood. Protestants have over 30000 denominations that can’t agree on anything except putting on a rock concert and calling it worship.
My friend, this video is obviously leaving a lot of stuff out. It is only giving us half truths. It is one of the reasons why I do not attend Protestant churches anymore. I am actually quite tired of these Protestant groups lying to us with halt truths.
1. Child Baptism . What he is NOT mentioning to us is the fact that there are old pictures from the time of the Apostles that show children getting baptized.
On top of that, he is also NOT mentioning that ALL of the original churches that were formed by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES baptize children (the Egyptian Coptic Christians, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Even Armenia - which is the first country in the world to become Christian - baptizes children in their Armenian church. Why? Because THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES told them to do it. AND the Bible tells us to do it.
Acts 2:38 "And Peter says to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise belongs to you AND YOUR CHILDREN and to all who are far off-to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
Matthew 19:13 "Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Acts 16:33 "He was baptized at once, with ALLLLLLL his family”
Do you notice that it does NOT SAY "..except for the kids." It does NOT say this.
2. The early church INDEED had priest. The writtings from the early church leaders talk about the priesthood. And all the original Orthodox churches - who were taught by the APOSTLES THEMSELVES - have priest. ALL OF THEM. (again, this video is NOT telling us this fact). The Egyptian Coptic Church, the Ethiopian Church, even the churches in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) had priests. In fact, the church of Smyrna is one of only 2 churches that Jesus praised and had nothing bad to say about in the Book of Revalation. The Bishop of Smyrna at the time that Jesus praised the church of Smyrna was Polycarp. He was trained by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES. And when the Church of Smyrna wrote a letter to the other churches in the world regarding Polycarp's martydom, the letter SPECIFICALLY mentions Philip the Trallian as being "high priest" at the time.
3) And there are married priests in the Catholic Church (again, this videos does NOT mention that to us). The Syriac Catholics, the Coptic Catholic Priests, and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic priests are just some branches of Catholics who are allowed to marry.
That is because the practice of priest celibacy is considered a rule of discipline, but not mandated by scripture. Celibacy for church leaders is mentioned in the Bible .
Matthew 19:10-11 "His disciples say to Him, "If this is the case of the man with the wife, it is better not to marry." “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given."
1 Corinthians 7:7-8 "I wish that all men were as I am. But each man has his own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that. 8Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry."
Do you see this? Protestants use 1 Timothy 3:2 as "proof" that church leaders need to be married. This is a corrupt reading of scripture. The verse says "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of ONE wife, .... " Paul is saying this because during his time polygamy was common. Many men had multiple wives. Paul is simply saying that if they are married, then it should only be to one wife. How do we know this? Because Paul says in 1 Corrinthians 7 :7-8 that he wished everyone was LIKE HIM (single). He also says that he knows that not everyone can do this.
Notice that this videos does NOT mention ANY of these Bible verse.
There are so so much more to say, like the fact that Protestants do NOT have altars, even though Jesus Himself gives us rules about bringing gifts to the altar ( Matthew 5:22) Why don't Protestants have altars? All the original churches created by THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES had altars. So don't Protestant's have altars?
But this is getting too long already
The bible is and never was the sole item binding Christianity together. This concept is known as sola scriptura, which both the Catholic and Orthodox churches disagree with.
They hate it when you tell the truth. They get angry, resentul, and aggresive. Jesus died for your sins, too.
Check this truth out... Google who started the Catholic Church then Google did Martin Luther have syphilis and did he impregnate a nun because that is who you ultimately follow.
I was just saying this too. Catholics are super angry and aggressive. They mirror Muslims in their response when you talk to them about the problem with Roman Catholicism.

Your description is that of Protestantism, which continues to change & break away.
The Catholic Church has been around since the beginning. Protestantism arose some 1500 years too late to be the Church.
There are three things in particular I don't get about RC: (1). the notion that one cannot (or should not) enjoy a personal relationship with God/Jesus but rather must go through a mortal mediator (priest); (2). all the prayers to Mary, another mortal; and (3). the notion that the Pope is a living descendant of the Apostles when popes and priests are forbidden to procreate.
Point (1). contradicts Jesus Himself, Point (2). also has no Biblical basis, and Point (3). simply does not make logical sense.
there are many, many more to add -- but good post, richard!
As for Mary, we ask her to pray for us the same way we ask any other person to pray for us. She is the greatest woman who has walked this earth. We do not worship her, and we Catholics maintain a distinction between prayer and worship. Worship entails sacrifice, and that is offered solely to God. We do not offer the sacrifice at mass to Mary, we offer it to God. She should be venerated and she serves as a reminder that Jesus is fully human and that He came to this world through the greatest of the feminine side of humanity.
As for popes, you are misunderstanding when we say “succession”. Apostolic succession has absolutely nothing to do with procreation. It has everything to do with appointing and ordaining a successor and this concept is not unique to Roman Catholicism. Peter, for example, had consecrated Clement of Rome, one of the Apostolic Fathers, as a bishop and he later became pope. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Old Catholics also follow this practice for their own bishops, and this is why we Roman Catholics actually distinguish them as “churches” and not “ecclesial communities”. Just as we Roman Catholics see our Pope as the successor to Peter, the Eastern Orthodox see their Ecumenical Patriarch as the successor to Andrew, and generally we do recognise the validity (though not liceity) of each others’ succession. Even the firmly protestant Anglicans have apostolic succession for bishops, though we Roman Catholics consider theirs invalid due to a lack of intent and substance as determined in Apostolicae Curae.
Also as a side note, some Eastern Catholic jurisdictions under the Roman Catholic Church do allow married priests.
@@saldol9862 paragraph 1 -- there is absolutely ZERO in Scripture supporting we pray to the dead. there is nothing in Scripture showing she is anything other than dead -- Heb 9:27

thanks for reading!
1: This isn’t true. I have a personal relationship with the Lord and I’m not even Catholic yet. The priest is meant to help you in your relationship with Jesus.
II: We don’t pray to Mary in the sense that we think she can grant prayers, she can’t because she’s not God. We ask her to pray for us to God, because just like Enoch and Elijah she is with her Son.
III: This is a funny one, when I first started to look into the Church; I was confused. What it really means is that Peter ordained (not fathered-if you hear fathered it means in the spiritual sense) Peter 2, Peter 2 ordained Peter 3, etc etc until we get to the current Pope.
None of this contradicts Scripture, the Apostles founded a Church because of Jesus.
@@tony1685
1: No; there is. We hear about the “prayers of the saints” in Revelation. Mary literally gave birth to God in the flesh, she’s more important than any saint (Jesus is obviously way more important.)
Mary is NOT God. She could never be God. She wasn’t a sinner, because then Jesus would have inherited sin, which would have made Him insufficient as a perfect sacrifice. She is alive in Heaven. She cannot grant our prayers, but can only ask God to grant them. You could *ask* Elijah to pray *for you.*
2: Zero proof for this.
When the Lord was crucified in AD 33 approximately 3% of the population of the Holy Land (Palestine) were literate (could read). Mass literacy in society only came about in the 15th century when Gutenberg (a German Catholic) invented the printing press. The printing press facilitated the mass transmission of reading material including the Bible.
The Bible is a Catholic book, and we believe all 73 are inspired
For over 200 years anyone the catholic church caught with a bible (eg Tyndale) was burnt alive, the catholic church tried to suppress the public having access to the scriptures which previously was only available read in church in latin.

@@JC_Redeemed Cite the specific "file", Church Council, or paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with the actual quote that says otherwise. You can't just make an empty accusation based on a conspiracy theory that has no weight to it. The Catechism of the Catholic Church in paragraph 169 states, "Salvation is through God alone." The Council of Trent harmonizes the necessity of grace and works: "If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or by the teaching of the Law, without Divine Grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema" (Session 6; can. 1). The Catholic Church has also denounced several heresies that stated otherwise such as Gnosticism (1st Century; salvation through knowledge), Sethianism (2nd Century; another form of Gnosticism), Basilideanism (2nd Century; another form of Gnosticism), Plagiarism (5th Century; believed humans can be saved by their own efforts without God's Grace), and Paulicianism (7th Century; believed salvation was achieved by rejecting the material world) just to name a few. So please, tell me the name of the supposed "file" that states otherwise.

The Eucharist is Jesus the Mass is true worship it’s not a concert!
@@TheresaCronin-kc6wz I have Jesus living within me and I in Him eternally. He is not in a piece of metaphorical bread.. though it does honor Christ for remembrance as the scripture states.
The Eucharist is SYMBOLISM and the early Church AGREED!
The Didache, written in the late-first or early-second century, referred to the elements of the Lord’s table as “spiritual food and drink” (The Didache, 9). The long passage detailing the Lord's Table in this early Christian document gives no hint of transubstantiation whatsoever.
Justin Martyr (110-165) spoke of “the bread which our Christ gave us to offer in remembrance of the Body which He assumed for the sake of those who believe in Him, for whom He also suffered, and also to the cup which He taught us to offer in the Eucharist, in commemoration of His blood"(Dialogue with Trypho, 70).
Clement of Alexandria explained that, “The Scripture, accordingly, has named wine the symbol of the sacred blood” (The Instructor, 2.2).
Origen similarly noted, “We have a symbol of gratitude to God in the bread which we call the Eucharist” (Against Celsus, 8.57).
Cyprian (200-258), who sometimes described the eucharist using very literal language, spoke against any who might use mere water for their celebration of the Lord’s Table. In condemning such practices, he explained that the cup of the Lord is a representation of the blood of Christ: “I marvel much whence this practice has arisen, that in some places, contrary to Evangelical and Apostolic discipline, water is offered in the Cup of the Lord, which alone cannot represent the Blood of Christ” (Epistle 63.7).
Eusebius of Caesarea (263-340) espoused a symbolic view in his Proof of the Gospel:
For with the wine which was indeed the symbol of His blood, He cleanses them that are baptized into His death, and believe on His blood, of their old sins, washing them away and purifying their old garments and vesture, so that they, ransomed by the precious blood of the divine spiritual grapes, and with the wine from this vine, "put off the old man with his deeds, and put on the new man which is renewed into knowledge in the image of Him that created him." . . . He gave to His disciples, when He said, "Take, drink; this is my blood that is shed for you for the remission of sins: this do in remembrance of me." And, "His teeth are white as milk," show the brightness and purity of the sacramental food. For again, He gave Himself the symbols of His divine dispensation to His disciples, when He bade them make the likeness of His own Body. For since He no more was to take pleasure in bloody sacrifices, or those ordained by Moses in the slaughter of animals of various kinds, and was to give them bread to use as the symbol of His Body, He taught the purity and brightness of such food by saying, “And his teeth are white as milk” (Demonstratia Evangelica, 8.1.76-80).
Athanasius (296-373) similarly contended that the elements of the Eucharist are to be understood spiritually, not physically: “[W]hat He says is not fleshly but spiritual. For how many would the body suffice for eating, that it should become the food for the whole world? But for this reason He made mention of the ascension of the Son of Man into heaven, in order that He might draw them away from the bodily notion, and that from henceforth they might learn that the aforesaid flesh was heavenly eating from above and spiritual food given by Him.” (Festal Letter, 4.19)
Augustine (354-430), also, clarified that the Lord’s Table was to be understood in spiritual terms: “Understand spiritually what I said; you are not to eat this body which you see; nor to drink that blood which they who will crucify me shall pour forth. . . . Although it is needful that this be visibly celebrated, yet it must be spiritually understood” (Exposition of the Psalms, 99.8).
He also explained the eucharistic elements as symbols. Speaking of Christ, Augustine noted: “He committed and delivered to His disciples the figure [or symbol] of His Body and Blood.” (Exposition of the Psalms, 3.1).
And in another place, quoting the Lord Jesus, Augustine further explained: “‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,’ says Christ, ‘and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ This seems to enjoin a crime or a vice; it is therefore a figure [or symbol], enjoining that we should have a share in the sufferings of our Lord, and that we should retain a sweet and profitable memory of the fact that His flesh was wounded and crucified for us (On Christian Doctrine, 3.16.24).
A number of similar quotations from the church fathers could be given to make the point that-at least for many of the fathers-the elements of the eucharist were ultimately understood in symbolic or spiritual terms. In other words, they did not hold to the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation.

Catholicism is a pagan cult.
Since Passover and Easter are drawing near, I will expose the false preachers and religions who wickedly promote and believe that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and if you are believing this lie then you also know very little about God and scripture.
Because many lack knowledge of scripture they cannot comprehend the important and explicit clues that John related in his gospel in regard to the Crucifixion and the Sabbath. This ignorance of truth certainly applies to the pagan cult known as Catholicism since they are one of the many false religions that claim that Jesus was crucified on a Friday and this is why many false Christians choose to celebrate what is known today as Good Friday.
Realize that the first day of Passover was considered a Sabbath day to the children of Israel since it was a day of holy convocation and no manner of work was to be done, so it was basically no different than the weekly Sabbath that God commanded the children of Israel to observe every Friday evening. You also need to understand that in a particular year when the Passover Sabbath would begin on a Thursday evening, this was then considered a high day Sabbath or a special Sabbath to the children of Israel since they would now have to recognize two Sabbath days in a row.
“‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 23:3 NKJV
Now to prove how the special feasts of God were to be treated no differently then the regular Sabbath and that no work was to be done, all we need to do is read what was related in Leviticus 23. Take notice that in the Leviticus 23:23-25 scriptures below, it clearly relates that a holy convocation also included a sabbath rest.
”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a SABBATH-REST, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”
Leviticus 23:23-25 NKJV
“‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ”
Leviticus 23:4-8 NKJV
Now God commanded the Israelites to keep His Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight and the first month of the year on God’s religious calendar is called Nisan or Abib and it begins in the spring and not in the winter as our current new year does. So because scripture relates that Jesus celebrated Passover at His Last Supper with His disciples many are falsely assuming that Jesus was crucified on Nisan 15 and not on Nisan 14 and that His Last Supper had to occur on a Thursday night since He was crucified on the day of Preparation. Now before I go on, I need you to understand that God commanded the Israelites to always celebrate His Passover but there was actually a period when the children of Israel stopped keeping God’s Passover. (See 2 Kings 23:21-23.)
Since the tribes of Israel had stopped keeping the Passover you can read where King Hezekiah and Josiah reinstated the Passover celebration in 2 Chronicles 30 and 35. They now chose to have the people celebrate God’s Passover at the second temple instead of at their homes since they wanted to make sure that the Israelites would stay loyal to God and His commands. So even though they reinstated the Passover celebration they actually were ignoring God’s command since they now started a tradition where many would celebrate God’s Passover at their homes on the beginning of Nisan 14 and then at the second temple in Jerusalem at the end of Nisan 14.
Now because the gospels are relating that Jesus was buried on Preparation day, many false preachers and religions are ignorantly assuming that this meant that the crucifixion had to occur on a Friday, since this is the day that the Jewish people would normally begin their preparation for the weekly Sabbath that began every Friday evening. Further below I will definitely prove where their ignorance of scripture has led false preachers and religions astray but first I want you to understand that the Jewish calendar months are completely different then the Gregorian calendar that we currently use, and that the Jewish day actually ends once it becomes dark and not at midnight as our world is accustomed to.
So in order to start proving why the crucifixion did not occur on a Friday I will begin by revealing how the gospel of John related some very important information that many deceived believers are not comprehending.
First, take notice where John related in 13:1-3 that Jesus celebrated His Last Supper before the Feast of Passover and then understand that John was referencing the Passover celebration that would occur at the temple at twilight on Nisan 14.
“NOW BEFORE THE FEAST OF PASSOVER, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,”
John 13:1-3 NKJV
Next, I will reveal a couple of scripture verses where John related that when Jesus was crucified it occurred during a year where the Passover Sabbath was going to occur the day before the weekly Sabbath. This would mean that you would have two Sabbath days occurring back to back and since you now had a special Sabbath occurring on Thursday evening this then meant that no work could be done on either Friday or Saturday. So since the Jewish people could do no work once their Friday began (our Thursday at nightfall), this then meant that the day of Preparation would now fall on a Thursday instead of its normal Friday. Once again, take note that when you had a Feast Day Sabbath occurring the day before the weekly Sabbath this was then called a special Sabbath or a HIGH DAY Sabbath by the Jewish people.
”Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (FOR THAT SABBATH WAS A HIGH DAY), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.”
John 19:31 NKJV
”Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.”
John 18:28 NKJV
So notice how John 19:31 related that the Sabbath that was going to occur later that evening was a HIGH DAY SABBATH. This meant that it had to be the Passover Sabbath and not the weekly Sabbath as many false preachers and religions are wrongly teaching. This is also why John 18:28 is relating how the Pharisees did not want to defile themselves on the day that Jesus was crucified since they were desiring to partake in the Passover meal that would occur at the end of that day at the temple. So since John clearly related in scripture that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and he stated that this was the day before a HIGH DAY SABBATH Sabbath then the crucifixion definitely had to occur on a Thursday, otherwise God and scripture would be lying to us.
Lastly, in order to fulfill what Jesus related in the Matthew 12 scripture where He stated that He would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth here is a time recap of the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and His Resurrection and a complete breakdown of the three days and the three nights that Jesus spent in the heart of the earth. On Wednesday night as Nisan 14 begins this is when Jesus had His Last Supper with His Disciples. Then on Thursday morning which was still Nisan 14 Jesus is crucified at 9 in the morning and He dies on the cross at 3 in the afternoon. Jesus is then buried just before sundown on Thursday evening before the Passover Sabbath celebration begins. Jesus then of course rises from the grave early Sunday morning which is now Nisan 17.
Thursday Night #1 - Passover Sabbath Begins
Friday Day #1 - Passover Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Friday Night #2 - Weekly Sabbath Begins
Saturday Day #2 - Weekly Sabbath Ends At Sundown
Saturday Night #3
Sunday Day #3 - Jesus Is Resurrected
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Matthew 12:40 NKJV
So Jesus died on the cross on Thursday Nisan 14 at 3 in the afternoon which was around the time that they began slaughtering the lambs that were needed to celebrate the Passover at the temple and this is why Jesus was known as the Lamb of God who was sacrificed for our sins.
You guys aren’t brothers or sisters in Christ if you believe in another gospel. If you believe you are saved by works, then you are no better than Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. We can love and pray for you, and you can become our brothers and sisters if you believed that Christ alone saves, and not the Catholic Church. It’s not hateful when you tell someone the truth.
When you lie about how to get to Heaven, you are not my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I am working for and with Jesus. You are lying to me and working for and with the devil
@@katierucker2870 Catholicism is simply a pagan cult but your once saved always saved lie is just as evil.
What many of you deceived souls clearly are not comprehending is that the only believer who cannot possibly lose their salvation is someone who has been sanctified by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and who has overcome sin and sickness in this lifetime by enduring God’s purification process that is known as sanctification. This person cannot possibly lose their salvation since they are now a child who has been born of God and they can no longer sin since they are being guided by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ who is Holy and pure.
Most are foolishly believing that they are born again Christians and they are completely deceived since they are not comprehending what it actually means to be born again. Realize that any believer who is truly born of God can no longer sin since they have learned how to overcome their sins through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and this is why the devil can no longer touch them with his afflictions. I know this first hand for I have been sanctified by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and I no longer sin nor do I ever get sick.
“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.”
I John 5:18 NKJV
“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.”
I John 3:8-9 NKJV
So scripture clearly states that whoever sins does not know God and whoever sins is of the devil. Whoever abides in God and is born of God cannot sin and does not sin so this is a child of God like myself! The majority who claim to believe in Jesus are actually nothing more then deceived children of the devil since they do not possess God’s Holy Spirit and they are still living in their sin and their ignorance of God’s truth. They have certainly overlooked that God commanded everyone to live a Holy and righteous life and this can only be achieved by learning how to overcome our sins through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ.
“And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who OVERCOMES shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, UNBELIEVING, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all LIARS shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:6-8 NKJV
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
So anytime you hear someone relating this once saved always saved nonsense you can be absolutely sure that they are someone who the devil has claimed since their misguided soul was simply looking for an easy path to travel. They certainly did not understand how difficult it is to overcome our sins nor do they even want to make the effort to do so.
They also are not comprehending what scripture meant in regards to works since they are confusing how we need to act on our faith with doing good deeds. Realize that none of us can earn our salvation since it is a free gift from God, but what these OSAS misguided soul certainly are not realizing is that we still have to act upon our faith in order to receive our salvation and this is why scripture is relating that “faith without works is dead.”
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:14-26 NKJV
”Faith without works is dead” is not saying that you must work to earn your salvation, for no one can earn their salvation since it is a free gift from God. But what it is relating is that you must prove your faith by acting upon it and if you do not prove your faith then you actually do not believe. So just saying that you believe in Jesus means very little to God since even Satan and his demons will do that much. The James scripture above is relating that if you really believe then you must prove that you do by acting on your faith. So have you sold everything that you own and given to the poor as Jesus instructed in Matthew 19:21? Or have you forsaken all of your possessions in order to become a disciple of Jesus? Well if you have not then you cannot possibly be a disciple of Jesus and all you need to do is read Luke 14:33 to prove as much since the word of God does not lie.
So what these once saved always saved children of Satan certainly are not comprehending is that just saying that you believe in Jesus does not guarantee you eternal life since even the demons who are condemned do that much. If you truly believe then you must be willing to change from your current sinful and ignorant ways to God’s Holy and righteous ways by genuinely repenting and by acting upon your faith. But of course, the delusional once saved always saved crowd foolishly believes that acting upon our faith means that we are trying to earn our way into heaven since in their ignorant minds they are confusing works with doing good deeds. This is why they foolishly believe that they can still remain sinners and yet still receive God’s salvation.
God commanded us to live a holy and righteous life which no one can achieve through their own sinful flesh and this is why we needed a Savior. Through His sacrifice on the cross, Jesus is now able to teach us, guide us and transform us into someone who no longer sins through His Holy Spirit. But the majority who claim to believe in Jesus never allow this transformation to occur since they fell for the lies of the false prophets. So instead of becoming holy and righteous and enduring to the end, many continue in a life of sin and lawlessness by following some false religion or false doctrine like Catholicism or this once saved always saved nonsense.
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
Romans 12:1-2 ESV
“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”
Matthew 24:11-13 NKJV
Lastly, how many times do you hear these once saved always saved children of the devil claim that they are “SAVED BY GRACE.” Well guess what? There is not even one scripture that ever uses that term nor are their any scriptures that use the term “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” and that alone proves that they are adding to the word of God and relating a false gospel. So their very own words are condemning their ignorant souls since they are adding their lies to the word of God just like they often do with Ephesians 2:8-9.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV
“For by grace you have been SAVED THROUGH FAITH.” Nowhere does this scripture state that we are “saved by grace” as their ignorant souls desire to believe. These children of the devil cannot comprehend that Ephesians 2:8 is relating that it is by God’s grace that He is allowing us to be saved through our faith and that faith definitely requires an action on our part. This is why scripture is relating that “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!”
So once again, there are no scriptures anywhere that ever uses the term “SAVED BY GRACE” or “ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED” as these children of the devil often relate. That alone proves that they are liars who are adding to the word of God and they certainly will perish for all eternity for relating a false gospel.
As a former Roman Catholic I agree with most of this. The Catholic Church always adds to the Word of God: they constantly reference and tell people to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). I also do not understand why they have images and statues of Jesus and Saints when the Bible says not to have any of those things for the things above. I also don’t understand why priests are called Father when the Bible says no one except God should be called that. And why does the Catholic Church not allow anyone except true Catholics to receive communion? That is a man made law by the Church. It does not come from the Word of God.

Catholicism is not Christianity ✝️ When you learn the truth, you will be made free.
I did some studying and I found that many of their doctrines are misinterpreted. It’s shocking how erroneous their doctrines are. I’ve given you all of the answers you’ll need. I’ve listed several specific things that you’ll need to diligently study if you’re Catholic.
--------------------
Peter self-identified as an elder, not a pope.
An elder is a pastor.
**1 Pete 5:1** And now, a word to you who are elders in the churches. I, too, am an elder and a witness to the sufferings of Christ. And I, too, will share in his glory when he is revealed to the whole world. As a fellow elder, I appeal to you:
Matthew 16:18-19 is misinterpreted and this is shown in Matthew 18:18 as Jesus reiterates the same thing to all disciples. The Petrine theory is false.
--------------------
- Antithetical books taught as doctrine that are contradictory to the Bible is apostasy.
****1 Timothy 4:1**** Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.
--------------------
- Forbidding clergy to marry is apostasy.
****1 Timothy 4:3**** who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
--------------------
• Adding church doctrines, especially doctrines that uniquely serve the context of a church’s teachings and political purposes of a church is apostasy and it’s forbidden.
****Deuteronomy 4:2,**** ****Galatians 1:6-7****. A church can’t interpret a scripture and ignore the fact that their interpretation contradicts other scriptures.
****Mark 7:7****
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
--------------------
• We have a new ministry in the new covenant. ****Ephesians 4:11****. Christ did not send out any officiating new covenant high priests, or parish priests.
****Ephesians 4:11**** So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers
• God does not show favoritism ****Romans 2:11**** -- there is no evidence in the scriptures that the church was built on a human. We do not have a human pope to guide us. We are led by the indwelling of the Spirit. ****Acts 1:5****
--------------------
• The scriptures show no differences in the apostles.
****Equality amongst the apostles****
“Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone. ****Ephesians 2:20****
“And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” ****Revelation 21:14****
• Peter was no different than the others. We can see here in ****Revelations 21:14**** that Peter was still an apostle, not a pope. John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem, so if Peter was a pope, John would have said I saw the foundation of the city walls in layers of 11 apostles and the one pope.
--------------------
- The Rock of the church is spiritual, not physical. There is only one Rock.
****1 Corinthians 10:4**** and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.
--------------------
• Mary nor the saints can hear prayers. There’s only one mediator in heaven between God & Man. No scriptures show that the 24 elders hear prayers.
****1 Timothy 2:5**** For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,
--------------------
• All Christians are saints.
****Philippians 1:1**** Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
--------------------
• All Christians are priests. We are living stones being built in a spiritual house on a spiritual Rock. You can approach God for forgiveness yourself.
****1 Peter 2:5**** Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
--------------------
• The doctrine of original sin is not biblical or found in the scriptures at all. Water baptism cannot remove sins. By the shedding of blood is there remission of sins. Adam sinned but adding the terminology of “original sin” is not biblical.
****Hebrews 9:22**** In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
--------------------
• Every Christian is supposed to study and read the Bible for themselves. ****Acts 17:11****
****Ephesians 3:4**** As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ.
****Psalm 119:15**** I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.
--------------------
• In order to receive salvation, we must all repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior. We need no new antithetical AD prophet church bibles, no man-made doctrines, no priests, no infallible magisterium, no Vatican, no communion of saints, no catechisms, no Marian dogmas, no transubstantiation, no other God(s), no idolatry, no prosperity gospel, no blessed prayer cloths, no added rituals, no antithetical traditions, no Eucharist, no veneration of Mary, no long list of good works, no water baptism regeneration, no sacrament of reconciliation, no rosary, no pope, no papacy, no apostolic succession, and no church dogmas, but *only* by grace through faith are we saved. Christ is enough!
****Ephesians 2:8**** "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".
--------------------
- I’m not against any church. I’m against people who are being misled and deceived. A church that has stood for several centuries must still teach sound doctrine. Any church that is built on false doctrine leads people astray. That church is no longer fertile grounds for the development of the body of Christ.
- I know this information can be heavy so I pray for your healing. I also pray that you will see the truth in God’s word. Study.
In Jesus’s name, Amen. 💜💜
@@Jesus.Is.Coming.Back1 Scripture is the written Tradition (or Teaching) of the apostles collected and authorized by the Church, “the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone” (Ephesians 2:20). The Holy Spirit-as the Source of truth-inspired the Holy Apostles to write, the Holy Church to canonize, and its Holy Tradition to interpret the Holy Bible. Scripture, Tradition, and the Church-these three agree as one, inspired by the one Holy Spirit, and together bear witness to the one Faith, for “a threefold cord cannot be easily broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). “Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses… remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct” (Hebrews 12:1; 13:7). The Holy Spirit and the Holy Church, the Bride of Christ, say, “Come… Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed… sharing in the body of Christ. For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread [Christ Jesus]” (Revelation 22:17; Proverbs 9:5; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

@@John_Six There’s no such thing as a true church in the sense that they try to make you believe.

Well, what I see in the Catholic church are images of Christ crucified which makes my heart ache for all the sins I have done, seeing all his wounds reminds me of the hardships he has to go through to save a wretched, unimportant sinner like me, and you know what else I see in the Catholic church? Images of men, of saints, holy and loyal to Jesus up to death, and. This images inspires me not to waste my life and be worthy of My saviour's sacrifice.

@@fameza8846 She is the Mother of Jesus. She is worthy of praise and respect. Don't be afraid of loving Mary too much. You can never love her more than what Jesus loved her. (St Maximillian)
@@blingknight1you also have statues of Mary and bow down to her and pray to her, that's a graven image and is idolatry!
@@MrNoob-3574z do deep research first before commenting, it's very clear that you don't have any clue on what we Catholics believe in.
The complete paragraph: "The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner." (CCC1367)
As the New Testament clearly elucidates, Communion was provided to honor the memory of Christ's suffering for us in offering up His body for our salvation. It also states there is one divine sacrifice for redeeming our sins on the cross and no other and then it was finished, not wherein another is continually performed by a priest where "the manner of offering is different." We are not commanded to worship the 'Host' in the same way we worship Christ in prayer. That is not biblical.
@@alwilson3204 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, ‘Take and eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.’ (Matthew 26:26-28) Whosoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. - (John 6:56).
On the night before He suffered and died on the cross, Jesus shared a last meal with His disciples and instituted the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Each time we go to Mass, we prayerfully participate with the priest who celebrates what Jesus did at the Last Supper.
Acting in the person of Christ, the priest consecrates the bread and wine and it is changed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, into the body and blood of Christ. This change is called transubstantiation.
The transformed bread and wine are not merely symbols. They continue to look like bread and wine but they are not; the substances change. They truly are the Body and Blood of Christ.
Jesus is present to us in many ways, in his Word, in the poor, when two or more are gathered in prayer, and in the Sacraments.
But only in the Holy Eucharist is He uniquely present - Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. This is what we mean by the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
The consecrated bread and wine remain the Body and Blood of Christ, even after Mass when some of the consecrated bread has been reserved for other uses, such as for distribution to the dying or the sick, or for adoration when it is exposed in the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction.
The Blessed Sacrament is kept in the tabernacle, which is why it is customary to genuflect before the tabernacle when in its presence.
By dying on the cross, Jesus sacrificed for our sins. Through the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we are joined to that sacrifice and receive its benefits.
At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and said, “This is my body.” He took the wine and said, “This is the cup of my blood.”
Think about that the next time you are at Mass. Jesus is now truly present on the altar. Think about it, too, as you return to your seat after receiving the Holy Eucharist. You now have Jesus Christ inside you!
Figurative not literal.

Wake up
Jesus died for your sins, too
@@smedleybutler9604the Bible mean binder. It’s not the word of God.
Well, the Bible did. The Jews had the Torah and Prophets for centuries. We even had the NT before the Roman Catholic Church came along in 300 AD. We didn’t need the Catholics to put the Bible together. God already had His word together, OT and NT inspired by Him alone, before the Catholics came into being. Catholics came after. Also the earliest Church never referred to itself as Roman Catholic. Roman Catholicism came years down the road. Roman Catholicism also preaches a different Jesus like the Mormons and Jehovah’s Witness. Jesus is not gonna be too happy about that when He comes back to judge the earth. Roman Catholics are also steeped into the most grievous sins without repentance. For example, you guys don’t rebuke pedophile priests. That is insane to me.
Actually Athanasius defined the NT canon before all those councils in his easter letter in 367. And the OT canon was already given to the Jews. So no one needed Roman Catholic councils to figure out the canon.
But what is much more important: The 4th century church is NOTHING like the later Catholic church and here is conclusive proof:
Between around the 1200 and 1800 thousands of people who are now accepted as Christians even by the Catholic church were brutally murdered by the Catholic church in the inquisition. The Catholic church only stopped this when it lost its worldly power due to Napoleon´s takeover of vast parts of Europe. So we have centuries of brutal mass murder of Christians that only stopped when the Catholic church was forced to stop. This conclusively debunks the Catholic church´s claim to authority. It didn´t stop because of genuine repentance.
Remember, Jesus said you will know them by their fruit, not "by their apostolic succession."
I ask what came first? The Church or the New Testament? I would also ask who canonized The New Testament? The Roman Catholic Bible has 72 books and the Protestant Bible has 66. The Catholic Church has a sound doctrine for a good reason. Anyone can interpret the Bible. Apostle Paul was a part of the early Church and instructs us to follow the gospel that was given to them by Jesus Christ. “He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, then brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:13
The Catholic Church does not declare the Lord is an insufficient savior. The Catholic Church teaches that its members are obligated to keep the Law in order to be saved. Jesus Christ said this himself when a man came up and knelt before Jesus and asked, “good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Why do you call me good? Jesus answered. “No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments: “you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother. Mark 10:17
“Baptism, good works, the sacraments, keeping the law, the sacrifice of the mass, they are under Divine condemnation.” Jesus taught and demonstrated all these things.
Nowhere in the bible does it say that water baptism removes sin. Men are told to repent (change of mind) and put thy trust in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Under the Mosaic law, water always represented a ceremonial spiritual cleansing. It's had nothing to do with removing sin. We are justified by faith Ephesians (2:8-9) We obey the commandments to imitate Christ and also to show the world we are ambassadors of Christ. So they will know us by our fruit. The temple veil was torn when Christ gave up His spirit, therefore, there is no need for a Catholic priesthood.
Baptism is the first and chief sacrament of forgiveness of sins because it unites us with Christ, who died for our sins and rose to our justification. This can be backed up by what apostle Pauls says in Romans 6:3. “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Jesus himself instructed his disciples to make disciples and to baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18)
In the book of James, he states, “you see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone”. (James 2:24). James also states, “ you believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe and shudder”. (James 2:17)
As far as a Catholic priesthood, apostle Paul provides his insight when receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ. “So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” 1 (Corinthians 11:27)@@Disciple793
Um, the NT obviously came first before the Catholics. Why is this even a question? It’s like what came first, the chicken or the egg? Obviously, the chicken did. And obviously, the NT came before the Catholics.

So true. David Anders. Joshua T Charles. Scott Hahn. The smartest and most learned Protestants become Catholic. Instead of listening to this steam of lies from Mike, Protestants should just Google the great thinkers I just listed and hear them explains why they are now part of the one and only Church Jesus founded and proposed to be with till the end of the age (against which He said the Gates of Hell would never prevail). It is a lot easier to just go around to whatever Protestant church happens to fit your views - which is just relativism masquerading as being “Biblical”. But Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. And the Chirch He founded is the one to which everyone should belong. So sad people defy His prayers for unity.
On baptism, even John the Baptist baptized Jesus, our Lord and Savior, the Messiah. Catholics also get baptized just as Jesus was.
Jesus was over 30 years old and asked to be baptized. The catholic church baptizes babies who are less than one year old. They didn't ask to be baptized, they had no choice.
So your statement about the catholic baptism being like how Jesus was; is 100% wrong.
Jesus asked to be baptized, catholic babies have no choice; they are forced to become catholic.

And in accordance with Jesus ' explaining what true faith looked like in His Sermon on the Mount, in His urging us to pick up our own crosses to follow Him, and as Paul urges us to work our our salvation with fear and trembling ( Phillipians 2:12 ). . .

Not allowing priests to marry is definitely a ridiculous Catholic regulation. Even Peter, their ‘first pope’ was married. Paul warned of evil men coming in and ‘forbidding men to marry’. I’m sure the church has missed the ministries of many good men because of this.
What do you think of the advice of Paul to the unmarried where he said it is good for them to stay unmarried just like himself? Is his advice ridiculous?
Consecrating one's whole life to be celibate and in the service of God through priesthood is a choice. Nobody is forced into it.
@@rewindseventyseven-en6iv If you can’t see the context of this advice, there’s not much point talking to you. Paul just advised how good celibacy was for him and recommended it for others, even though Peter and others were married. It wasn’t a doctrinal requirement for ministry!
And Yes, priests are forced into celibacy if they want to enter the priesthood, while married protestant ministers can enter Catholic priesthood unmarried! Talk about inconsistency! I’ll say again, this regulation is ridiculous, not Paul’s advice! Furthermore, Catholic priests have even agreed with me.

Jesus did not found catholicism
@@honotolu Then who did? We have the names of all people who founded all the heretical sects of Protestantism. There has been absolutely no debate that Jesus did for over 2000 years.

Just read the bible and love Jesus with all your heart, soul and mind and you will know for sure.
@@quantumv8394 catholicism isn't roman catholicism, Jesus founded His church on this earth, which was carried out by the apostles. Through time roman catholicism was formed (ps. through centuries), among others were eastern church, oriental church etc. Even orthodox church claims supremacy like roman catholicism.
@@hosannayeshua4446 Where do you guys get such nonsense? Jesus on earth gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom meaning His Church and meaning Peter was to oversee the teaching of the apostles as Jesus sent them out to all nations to teach His word. Peter and Paul went to Rome and from here they were the final word on Christ’s teachings. Thus ROMAN Catholic. Roman Catholic is just a more formal and respectful name for Catholic. It’s like saying United States of America or just United States or just America. They are the same thing exactly. You can’t find ANYTHING, DOCTRINAL WISE, today that contradicts the Church in the early centuries no matter how hard you try and without lying. And yes like an acorn that grows into an oak tree the Church has grown in it’s UNDERSTANDING of what Christ taught because if you read your bible then you know He said there was too much to tell them at the moment. Meaning through the Holy Spirit He would continue to reveal truths BUT never contradict anything He previously taught. It’s impossible for Him to contradict Himself.
The Eastern Orthodox are very, very close to Catholicism as they have the valid Eucharist and 7 sacraments for example that Protestants know nothing about and they are in near total agreement with today’s Catholic Church except for the teaching authority of the Pope They are at present in schism with the CC because they reject the papacy and it’s importance for teaching the world what Christ taught on earth. Remember the Catholic Church did not get it’s teachings and doctrines from the bible like Protestants, thus verifying they are not a true church, but the bible got it’s teachings from the Catholic Church through the Holy Spirit’s inspiration. Quit reading anti-Catholic literature and investigate for yourself if you truly want the Truth of Christ. Love and trust in the method Jesus chose to teach the world about Himself. Sorry for so long but necessary.
@@quantumv8394 where you catholics get the idea peter was in rome? Paul never mentions him
Just wanted to point out that what I learned from Protestants who became Catholic and Catholics who became Protestant. It can be quite revealing. I have yet to meet a former Catholic who actually understood their former faith (again, bad catechesis). And almost every Catholic I've met who used to be Protestant has been a practical encyclopedia of both Protestant and Catholic theology. Some of the biggest names in Catholic apologetics are former Protestant pastors. Unfortunately, Mike Gendron falls into the category of not being properly educated in his former Catholic faith and then spread this false information to those who don’t know better. My advice to anyone who truly wants to follow Christ is to go watch a conversion testimony of former Protestant who became Catholic (there’s literally thousands of videos) and then ask yourself why so many educated leaders of the Protestant community have converted?
Another observation I would like to add is you'll notice that Protestants who converted from the Catholic faith always seem to have bad experiences and have nothing but bad things to say of their former faith. On the other hand, Protestants who became Catholic almost always say good things about their former Protestant denomination. The reason they decided to convert to Catholicism is based solely based on teachings of the faith (theology and not experiences).... If you watch any conversion video you'll instantly see what I'm talking about.
@@brianh2477 That's not my personal experience
@@Henry-eh2jk I will tell you why I converted from Protestantism to Catholicism. I originally became a Christian because of the evidence that supported the Bible. And when I realized the Bible was true, I just started going to a Protestant church because I just did not know the difference between Christian groups. And then I started taking classes at Fuller Seminary. I read Church history books like those from then Protestant Jaroslav Pelikan a Yale History professor and Philip Schaff who wrote an 8 volume set on Christian Church History. And even these great scholars write extensively and convincingly that the early Christian Church was the Catholic Church; and they show that Luther’s view of "forensic justification" was an invention of the 1500’s.
I grew up an atheist and so I had no axe to grind or no preconceived notions. But when I carefully read the New Testament, I saw that Jesus Christ made 3 predictions about his Church. And these three predictions are the predictions that made me believe in the Bible in the first place. If Jesus was not a real person or if he was not really resurrected from the dead, then these predictions would have never come true. But these are the 3 predictions Christ makes:
Prediction 1. Christ said that his church would be persecuted and its members would be killed. Now that was a ridiculous prediction in the Roman empire which was religiously tolerant. They did not target people and kill them for religious reasons. Why would they kill the followers of someone who promotes peace?
Prediction 2. Jesus said that his church would be unified. He said there would be a church that could be considered as "one" that was unified in love and unified in doctrine. And Paul reiterates that in saying that the church has to agree on everything. Paul makes it a sin to create dissensions in the church. And Paul states that the average person should not be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The New Testament clearly references one Church not a multiple set of churches with contradicting doctrines.
Prediction 3. Jesus also said that his church would go to all nations. If Jesus was just a normal human who died like all of the other people who started religious movements, then this again is a ridiculous claim.
Any one of these claims could have come true by accident but it was impossible for me to believe that all of these predictions by Christ could occur by accident. That is why I became a Christian in the first place. But when you look at the church and see which one it was that did all of these 3 things Christ predicted, which one was it? It was clearly the Catholic Church if you read any seminary level church history book.
What church was it in which its leaders and bishops were targeted by the Romans and executed? Men like Clement of Rome; Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp of Smyrna? It was the Catholic Church that this happened to. You can read any church history book and see how the Bishops of Rome were known to the authorities as leaders of the Katholicos Ekklysia (or Catholic Church) and were hunted down to be executed.
And which church was it that somehow stayed unified through all of the heresies that came along with the Gnostics and with Arius and the Docetists and others? Which church was it that held the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, and Constantinople in 381 AD, then Ephesus in 431 AD and Chalcedon in 451 AD? The church that held those councils which kept Christianity clearly was the Catholic Church. We know who the Bishop of Rome was when each of those Councils occurred and he was seen as the leader of the College of Bishops. By 150 AD the entire church operated with the Bishop of Rome at the helm and with a “monoepsicopacy” form of government in place.
It was in these Councils and others we see the church decipher core doctrines like the Trinity, the two natures of Christ existing in one person, and the development of the New Testament Canon. What church was it that did all of these things? It was obviously the Catholic Church.
There was no Christian “group” or “sect” or “church” anywhere in the first 1,500 years of Christianity that believed in
1) Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers SEPARATE and in exclusion of a ministerial priesthood.
A church with those beliefs simply did not exist. Not only was there not a group or church taught those later “Protestant” ideas together; there was not even one early church Father who taught those 3 things together. You cannot find one Church father arguing for these 3 tenets of Protestantism 1)Forensic justification + 2) Sola scriptura + 3) A priesthood of all believers to the exclusion of a ministerial priesthood. Not a single Father. You may be able to find some quotes here or there that look like they may somehow, possibly point to one of these ideas. But no father argues for all together like any Protestant would do. In addition, most of these alleged quotes from the Fathers that can be dug up to maybe, somehow, in some way point to one of those Protestant sounding ideas, I guarantee you that if you look at all of their writings you will see that that particular Father clearly shows his views are Catholic. I wanted to know and so I did that exercise.
Read Matthew J. Thomas’s work called “Paul’s ‘Works of the Law’ in the Perspective of Second Century Reception.” Thomas used to work for the famous JI Packer and he was hired to go through the church fathers and find any quotes that would maybe, perhaps somehow support “sola fide” or other Protestant doctrines. But even when he found some vague quote that might look like it supported “sola fide” that same Father’s other writings clearly showed that they did not hold that view. Or read Doug Beaumont’s work “Evangelical Exodus.” Beaumont worked for the Protestant scholar Norman Geisler and was hired to do the same thing which was to look for quotes in the Fathers’ that might seem, maybe, somehow, of you thought of them in a certain way to point to one of those views that came with “Protestantism” in 1500’s. Thomas and Beaumont along with 7 other people who contribute to the book “Evangelical Exodus” all discovered the same thing. The early Church was clearly Catholic and not remotely Protestant in structure nor doctrine. Joshua Betancourt even hesitantly wrote an anti-Catholic book with Giesler and from what he discovered in the evidence of the early Church he converted to Catholicism because he discovered that the early Church was Catholic, and the primary Christian Church that existed for the first 1500 years was Catholic.
It is a fruitless exercise to try to believe that the early Church believed Protestant things. Even the Protestant history books I read at Fuller seminary admitted that Luther’s views of "forensic justification" and "sola fide" were new views developed in the 1500’s.
Protestant Scholar Philip Schaff in his extensive 8 Volume History of the Christian Church writes:
"If anyone expects to find in any of the church fathers, including Augustine himself, the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone … will be greatly disappointed."
And the church history scholar Alister MacGrath states that the Luther’s view of salvation was a complete “theological novum.” Novum means “novelty” (I am so stupid I had to look it up).
Even Norman Giesler confronts the question of whether Christians for the first 1500 years of Christianity could be saved because Luther himself argued that if someone did not agree with Luther’s doctrine, Luther claimed that such a person could not be saved. But Giesler writes that Luther’s view was ridiculous because it would mean that no one was saved for 1500 years. Giesler writes:
“One can be saved without believing that imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) is an essential part of the true gospel. Otherwise, few people were saved between the time of Paul and the Reformation, since scarcely anyone taught imputed righteousness (or forensic justification) during that period!”
The Lutheran scholar Hartmann Grisar addresses why the mature Luther does not try to use church fathers including Augustine the great to support his new doctrine. Grisar writes:
"It is not surprising that at a later date (after Luther was challenged) Luther hesitated to appeal to St. Augustine in support of his doctrine [of imputed righteousness] … AUGUSTINE AND ALL THE DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH ARE DECIDEDLY AGAINST HIM."
About “Sola Scriptura” the Luther Scholar Heiko Oberman who wrote the book Luther: Man Between God and the Devil wrote on page 220:
"Application of the Reformation principle of sola scriptura, the Scriptures alone, has not brought the certainty [Luther] anticipated. It has in fact been responsible for a multiplicity of explanations and interpretations that seem to render ABSURD any dependence on the clarity of the Scriptures" (Luther: Man Between God and the Devil, 220).
If people want to believe that Christ started a church and then let it fail for 1500 years and then brought forth Luther, Melancthon, Karlstadt, Agricola, Bucer, Muncer, Zwingli, Calvin, Simons, Knox, John Smith, King Henry, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, and Charles Russell and a few dozen others to claim to put the true church on earth; I can’t stop them. But I am going to believe what the early Christians believed and that is that Christ started the Catholic Church. That is what history shows and that is one reason why so many people convert to Catholicism. God bless you

More catholic propaganda
Jesus doesn't talk about the eucharist; only catholics do
Unfortunately, I think Mike has misunderstood various Catholic expressions of faith and the gift of salvation. I'm not Catholic, but I plan to be.
Firstly, I've always questioned Catholicism's apostolic succession and divine mandate of the Magisterium. But when Jesus declared Peter the rock on which He would found His church, He did so after asking: Who do you say I am? And Peter responded by saying the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. And then Jesus said that Peter was blessed because it was revealed to him by God. That is the beginning of the Catholic church and apostolic succession. And, I think that Catholics accept the idea of divine revelation/interpretation amongst the Magisterium and Papacy because of that divine revelation to Peter, the first Pope. That does not in any way mean that everything declared by the Catholic church is true by any means, but it does mean, that after solemn consideration, on matters of faith and morality, that God reveals His Word to the head of the church, and to us, by allowing the church head to guide us just as Jesus did.
The Catholic church has been led astray through our own human fault in the application of those morals in regard to things like Prudential Judgement, and that's perfectly okay. But the Dogma and the Infallible teachings of the Catholic church are mostly believed by all Christians in general I think. And, most Christian teachings originate from the Catholic church's teachings as well-- including scripture. So, if scripture was inspired by God, and compiled together by the early church under divine guidance, then, that must mean that at that time, the Magisterium did indeed have divine guidance by God revealing His Grace through them:)
X Also, Baptism is not necessary for salvation. None of the sacraments are necessary for salvation; they are expressions of true faith. In my understanding, Catholics have this idea that yes, the sacraments are necessary-- however, if that necessity is revealed to you, then you are bound to use it. The sacraments are not necessary for the ignorant through no fault of their own.
God has bound salvation to the sacrament of baptism, but he himself is not bound by his sacraments.

Catholics take sacred scripture and sacred tradition therefore we take the Bible and traditions and combine them
But some of your traditions are against the Bible.
correct, that's the problem... scripture specifically says NOT to do that. He explained that well.
Deuteronomy 4:2
"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you". This warning was given to the Israelites after they wandered in the wilderness.
Deuteronomy 12:32
"What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it".
Revelation 22:18-19
"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book".
As for your "sacred" traditions, scripture warned the jews about holding their traditions as God's standard as well.
Matthew 6:27 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: 8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me 9 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’[c]”
As long as you have a man made doctrine that you have elevated to the same status as God's word, the two will always be in conflict.
@let_freedom_ping It says no such thing: Paul says that much Christian teaching is to be found in the tradition which is handed down by word of mouth (2 Tim. 2:2). He instructs us to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thess. 2:15).
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions. Mark 7:8
@provision777 Looking Contextually at Mk 7:6-8, it's a reference to Is 29:13 where Isaiah reprimand Jerusalem for consulting its politicians while rejecting the prophets. Because their leaders routinely exclude the Lord, and rely on their own wisdom; their worship of the Lord has become empty and vain. Here in Mark, the pharisees have fallen into the same trap of rejecting God's wisdom in favor of their own. (Mt 23:23; Col 2:20-23). When you look at context, it shows how Christ and Paul absolutely do not contradict each other regarding tradition.

But that Jesus is concerned primarily with the salvation of every soul.
I can understand a Christian to have a largely benign regard for Mary, on account of say having done little research into what great Christian minds have thought and taught since the earthly time of the Lord, but to specifically denigrate Mary and Jesus’ regard for Mary is the sign that we are offered doctrines of demons in these days.

And no they don’t have to be circumcised. This video above is anti catholic, sad.
The second coming of Christ is due, google it, 3 days and 3 nights of darkness.
Jesus is the way the light and the truth and the only way.
He has made many appearances to people, which has led to a massive Jesus movement at the moment and conversion from other religions to Catholicism.
We have been warned in the word of god to be aware of false gods, ie other religions.
Glory to Lord Jesus ❤ and peace to you my friend
There are a few errors/exaggerations in the presentation, but I was a serious Catholic for Decades and his descriptions of Catholic Doctrines are pretty close. I had such a great time in a large youth club of 800 at my Catholic Church, and a Catholic education that it took me decades before I could even see some of the flaws in the Catholic Doctrines.
@@MrAlanKendall what exaggerations?
@@emmanuelochieng I am sure that Heaven is full of Catholics and Protestants. But not all Catholics go to heaven and not all Protestants go to heaven. Sure the Catholic Church is full of false doctrines.
@@emmanuelochieng The part about Roman Catholics being required to keep "The whole of the law" is plainly absurd. Are Catholics circumcised? Do they have to celebrate the passover, or the feast of booths etc.... It's just a ridiculous things to say.
Mike's opinion of Roman Catholism is wrong. It's very sad! He obviously doesn't know Cathoic dogma and doctrine.
1. Catholic Church preaches and teaches the true gospel. The 7 sacraments of the Catholic Church are all founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ! Mike needs to read all of scripture.
2. The bulwark of truth is the Church. 1 Tim 3:15 DRV. Also, St Paul states "Hold fast to the traditions thought to you either by word or letter. See 1 Thess 2:14 DRV.
3. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave full authority to the keys of the kingdom of God to St. Peter. You can trace the succession of Catholic and clergy to the apostles and Christ!
4. The Catholic priests have the authority to exercise and to minister the sacraments by Our Lord Jesus. According to the Dogma of the Catholic Church, there is only one mediator between God and Man and that is Jesus Christ!. Catholic Church teaches of the communion of saints. This is the great cloud of witness. See Heb 12:1.
5. The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist was instituted by Christ at the last supper. Jesus also states that you must eat his flesh and blood. See John 6: 50 -59.
6. Again, Christ gave his full authority to his Church to baptize, preach, cast out demons, making disciplines of all nations! With that authority the Pope, cardinals, bishops and priests have the power and authority given to them by Christ. The priests are representing Christ and his Holy Church.
Protestantism is an evil because it denies the authority of Christ and his Holy Church.
It denies the sanctifying grace of the sacraments.
It denies the holiness of the Blessed Mary Ever Virgin and her Queenship.
Also, Mike and all Protestants do not accept the Magisturiom of the Catholic Church. Catholic Doctrine and Dogma has been defined by Christ, the apostles and church fathers through councils for over 2 thousand years. Also, St Peter warned the faithful. See 2 Peter 3:16 DRV. "The words of our brother Paul are difficult to understand and many twist scripture to their own destruction."
Since Our Lord founded his Holy Church, the Roman Catholic Church. You can't separate him from his church; therefore, there is no salvation outside the Holy Catholic Church! Heretics will not enter into the kingdom of God! REPENT AND BECOME CATHOLIC if you are not Catholic! Your soul depends on it!
All catholic lies and proof of why the catholic church is the highway to hell.
Why are catholics required to go to confession for forgiveness of sin?
As I have stated, Our Lord Jesus Christ gave full authority to his Holy Church. He gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to St. Peter, and he gave all the apostles the authority to forgive sins. See John 20:23, " Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. Also, see James 5:16 " Confess your sins one another, and pray one for another, that you may be saved..."
Christians trust the death, burial,and resurrection of Jesus for their forgiveness of sin and for their salvation. Catholics don't. They must do more because the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is not enough.
Jesus loves you and Jesus died for your sins, too.

I am Apostolic Pentecostal. I cannot speak for all of my belief, but our church believes you must do what we call Communion. This is a special service that we do where we partake of unleavened bread, and wine, in remembernce of Jesus dying for us on the cross. We also do footwashing in this special service. I think the big difference here is that we believe this bread and wine is symbolic for Jesus' flesh and blood, where the Catholic church believes it to actually turn into his true flesh and blood as you eat/drink it. I think this is why many think the Catholic church gets it wrong. I'm sorry to tell you this, but it does not miraculously turn into REAL blood, and REAL flesh. It is symbolic. He said do this in REMEMBERANCE of me. Not that it is LITERALLY Him. Nor should we in some ritual act as if we are resacrificing Him again... He did it once, and that was sufficient. He never said to reinact or do some ritual of recrucifying Him again. He just said to partake of the unleavened bread and wine in rememberance of Him. Lastly, I can kind of see the point of thinking you are committing idolatry, if you really do believe that this eucharist is LITERALLY the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, so much, to where you would worship it as it is being lifted and then set upon the alter? We are not to build items and then worship them... end of argument.. literally no exceptions were given in the bible to this rule, it doesnt matter if someone comes along and says "well this item is Jesus Christ" no, it is not... do not worship ANY idols or graven images of any sort.
I grew up in the Catholic church. Have family that are Catholic, have friends that grew up Catholic, so on and so on. From what I have seen, my experience, Catholics are more devoted to being Catholic than they are to surrendering fully to Christ. This video is 100% correct.
catholic pride
Exactly how can u be Catholic without surrendering yourself to Jesus Christ , how can u separate the two . Maybe u are one those who don’t believe in Catholic teaching , but if ur honest u would know that in order to be a devoted Catholic u have to surrender yourself to Christ , having said that there Catholics who are simply Catholics in name just like there prostetants who are simply Protestant in name . Otherwise if ur arguments was correct then we would not have all the saints that have lived extra ordinary lives given to them by the grace of God . Being Catholic is the to believe and have a relationship with Christ through the Eucharist
@katanaevelyn6813 All Christians, according to scripture, are saints, not a select few chosen by a religion. A religion doesn't get to tell God who saints are.
Also as most of my family is Catholic, I can say that the idea of surrendering to Christ is not a familiar idea. Not as familiar as the Catholic creed, confession to a priest, praying through anyone other Jesus Christ etc, etc. Jesus plus anything is not Christianity.
@@TimberJones-l3y Tell us Timber how have you personally surrenderd yourself to Jesus ?
Brother, what Scripture suggest that we can't obey God, let alone have to continue in sin?
This is why I do not call the leader of the catholic religion "pope". The word "pope" means father or "pater" in Latin. He is most certainly not my father, in any way shape or form. GOD tells us in the Word to call no one father, perhaps because He knew that the leader of the catholic faith will be called that by billions of ill-informed people, globally.
Did you also know that Christ's church did not have an office for priests, cardinals, or pope.
@@sammygomes7381did you know jesus never had a church or institution and he was homeless? You people would SPIT on Jesus in this day and age.
@@timesupea Of course He didn't have a church, He was Jewish and went to a temple. His church refers to the people that follow His teachings. Christ told us He had no place to lay His head.

Amen, it is through the Holy Spirit, Jesus, we can look sinless in the eyes of our Father@@debbiemartin2026
He also said to cut your hand and pluck your eyes out if they made tou sin. That's for law keeping unbelievers, who try to work out their own righteousness, not for the saved members of his body, the Church, who accepted the free gift of salvation. We know we cannot keep the law, that's how we know we need Jesus.

You thought this was interesting? It was a joke . This guy is so anti catholic . He’ll probably never go back on Bryan Mercier’s podcast after Bryan taught him a lesson about the catholic faith .
in 382 during the council of rome Pope Damasus canonzied the bible, and yes he is catholic.
Yes, the CC gave us the bible
Actually Athanasius defined the NT canon before all those councils in his easter letter in 367. And the OT canon was already given to the Jews. So no one needed Roman Catholic councils to figure out the canon.
But what is much more important: The 4th century church is NOTHING like the later Catholic church and here is conclusive proof:
Between around the 1200 and 1800 thousands of people who are now accepted as Christians even by the Catholic church were brutally murdered by the Catholic church in the inquisition. The Catholic church only stopped this when it lost its worldly power due to Napoleon´s takeover of vast parts of Europe. So we have centuries of brutal mass murder of Christians that only stopped when the Catholic church was forced to stop. This conclusively debunks the Catholic church´s claim to authority. It didn´t stop because of genuine repentance.
Remember, Jesus said you will know them by their fruit, not "by their apostolic succession."
@@D12Min Anathasius was a Catholic Bishop, although he was the first person to define the canon the church still needed a council for it to be proclaimed as a formal canon.
@@j11_gAthanasius was not a Catholic in the modern sense. He would consider interreligious ecumenism with pagans as straight apostasy. The point was that no council was needed for people to get the canon right. They simply looked at which writings were apostolic.
My second point, the mass murderous history of the medieval Catholic church, is of course much more important.
@@D12Min Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. Some historians are convinced that millions died.
But according to Professor Agostino Borromeo, a historian of Catholicism at the Sapienza University in Rome and curator of the 783-page volume released yesterday, only 1% of the 125,000 people tried by church tribunals as suspected heretics in Spain were executed.
Catholic is a man-made religion ….. if you’re a Christian then you should know that you’re not a baptist, catholic, mormon, muslim, apostolic, lutheran, greek orthodox, 7 day adventist etc… Roman 16: 17-18

@catholictruth102The Bible says this about catholic prayer;
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
The worst thing Catholicism has done is failed to properly Catechize its laity. Their doctrine is sound and steadfast. As a Protestant I envy the level of clarity and understanding why have.

The Bible says that your outcome will be what your actions deserve
This man is lying. For example he quotes “If anyone adds anything… if anyone takes words away…” In that case every Protestant is in big trouble because Luther removed 7 books from the Bible and added “only” or “alone” so that he could claim faith alone. The one place in the Bible where “faith alone” or “faith only” exists outside of Luther’s changed version is in James where he says, “not by faith alone.” You need to read the whole Bible, not just a few clips that distort it’s meaning to fit Luther’s agenda and that of many others. Simply, Luther seems to have started with good intentions but became a heretic.

Protestantism-itself has absolutely no foundation in Sacred Scripture. As a matter of history, this is where Protestantism came from: Martin Luther taught a doctrine, justification by faith alone, that was never taught by a single Christian for 1,500 years. In fact, it is, as explicitly as I can imagine, contradicted by St. James in James 2:24. In fact, Andre, what I found is, the only place in the entire Bible where the words “faith alone” are found, the words “not by” are right in front of them: “We see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.”
You have Matthew 12:36 and 37 where Jesus, speaking in the context of the final judgement, says-in verse 37, I’ll focus on-“by your words you will be justified, by your words you will be condemned.” Words are more than just faith. That’s something you say, something you do. In Romans 2:6 and 7, St. Paul says, “God will reward each man according to his works. To him who continues in good works, his reward shall be glory, incorruption, and everlasting life.” There, St. Paul says everlasting life is a reward for good works.
Now, is faith involved? Absolutely. Its constitutive of the salvific act in the life of a believer. You have to be a believer to be sure. “We are justified by faith,” Romans 5:1 says, but the problem was, “faith alone” is nowhere to be found. In Galatians 6:7, for example, St. Paul says, “Let no man be deceived: God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows-” any farmer knows that’s something you do, sowing seeds- “Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap. If he continues to sow to the flesh, he shall of the flesh reap death; if he continues to sow to the spirit, he shall of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Let us therefore not grow weary in well-doing, for we shall reap the reward-” What reward? Everlasting life, “-if we faint not.” Or if, as one translation says, “if we do not lose heart.”
My brother, I could go down a litany of more verses here, but here’s the bottom line: what I found is, Martin Luther’s justification by faith, which became what he called the doctrine upon which the Church rises or falls-that’s his most important doctrine-was absolutely un-Biblical, absolutely false, and this colored the Reformation, and has for the last 500 years.
Now there are some Protestant sects who have moved away from justification by faith alone, and get it closer to correct; but the overwhelming majority of reformers in John Calvin, who-you know, that’s a whole ‘nother hour we could talk about John Calvin-you know, got us even further off track from what the Bible clearly teaches.
So Andre, I look at that, and then I look at what Jesus clearly taught in the Bible. He didn’t give us a Bible, He gave us a Church. Jesus said, for example in Matthew 18:15-18, He says-and this is instructions that are perennial till the end of time, Andre-He says, “If your brother shall offend against thee, go tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you’ve gained your brother.” If he won’t hear you, what do you do? You don’t get your Bible out and start arguing; He says, “Take one or two with you, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. If he will not even hear them, tell it to the church; and the one who fails to hear the church shall be as a heathen and a publican.”
In other words, Jesus established the Church to be His authority to speak for Him; that’s exactly what we see happen in the book of Acts-in Acts chapter 15 Andre, I’ll give you homework-when there was a heresy that threatened to tear a fledgling church apart there in Antioch in the first century, what did they do? Paul and Barnabas came in, tried to settle it; they couldn’t settle it. What did they do? They had a council, the Church declared on the matter, and the matter was settled. That’s the way the Church functioned, and my friend, as a matter of history, the Encyclopedia Britannica, for example, will tell you, if you go to its entry on the Catholic Church, you will find it’s the Church started by Jesus in 33 AD.
The fact is, that’s how the Church-one, holy Catholic, and apostolic-functioned for 1,500 years until some men came along and started teaching traditions of men that contradicted the Word of God.
Since you mentioned history, do you think the selling of indulgences was ordained by God? Was that a good thing? Why did they add books to the canon of scripture in response to the reformation? Were they wrong for the first 1,000 years? What about their riff with Galileo the time they were wrong about the earth being the center of the solar system? What about the Spanish inquisition? What about the crusades? We could go on. I'm interested to see how someone can defend these things that point to the love of power and money instead of the love of God. The catholic church keeps changing - It is not the same church of 1,500 years ago.
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing Love. Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame and lie silent in the grave ( Sheol )
Let their lying lips be silenced, with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
Hallelujah!
How great is your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You,
Thank you Jesus for your perfect Justice
