    I’m not Catholic, but my wife is a devout Catholic. And many years ago after I began listening to Protestant teacher’s attack the Catholic Church, it instigated some arguments with my Wife, with me repeating what I had heard for why her faith was actually an occult, and as you can imagine it caused some problems in our marriage.
    The long and the short is I decided I needed to inform myself first hand for official Catholic doctrine, so I could prove it to her. And so I discovered more about the catholic faith than I had originally intended. I’m old now and that was many years ago, and I can offer this. No matter what the subject matter, whether it be political disagreements, spiritual disagreements, no matter what the disagreement, etc. If anyone is truly searching for truth, I think the first question someone should ask themselves is, Am I honestly & sincerely looking for truth, or have I already made up my mind for what I want to believe, and so I will only look for information that will help validate the truth I prefer.
    How ever someone answers that question , with as much integrity that as they can muster, should reveal to someone, who really wants to know, just how much integrity they really do have, or only what they thought they had.
    I would assume that most people have noticed the type of society we live in these days, where we have two differing categories of people. People who do not want their comfortable narratives challenged, no matter how solid the challenging evidence might be, and where statistics and factual evidence are not important, or even necessary, because what is of most importance, is that we should demand that people respect our personal truth. And then there’s a another category of people, people who will look at all of the evidence, not just one side of an argument, because they are truly interested in trying to find out what’s true, even if the truth hurts. And so which category are you truly in ? If you dare to know.
    And I’ve discovered something else in these latter days, it’s not true that old age brings wisdom, although it should, but seldom does. And the longer someone has believed something that’s not true, it’s very difficult for them to change their mind, and no matter how solid and how convincing the challenging evidence. And so it’s very difficult to become a person of wisdom and integrity, if you have circled the Sun more times than most being a close minded unteachable fool.
    Although with God all things are possible, and so it’s not completely hopeless, if you had a shadow of some wisdom, that told you to go to him.

    My coworker was raised Catholic, but fell away... after dabbling in new age for a period, she became a “reformed Bible believer”... very much against Catholicism. She is always posting on Facebook quotes from MacArthur. I can’t help but wonder, why she needs to read his ideas and interpretations if the “bible alone” is sufficient. Why even have a minister... what can a minister offer that scripture can’t???

He's a wonderful minister of the Word of God..Too bad a lot of the RCC masses of people couldn't get him to oversee their bible studies. I guarantee they throw those Catechisms away Yeah its too bad but God warned the people, but they just won't listen.

      @@vickiesutherland4628 that may be true, but knowledge of scripture and intelligence are not qualifiers of authority.
      I’ve had Protestants tell me “just study scripture… don’t follow the Catholic Church” my first thought is, “thank you Jesus for giving me a church with the authority to teach!”because if it were left up to my intellect and ability to effectively study scripture, I’d have no chance. There are many brilliant people who use their intelligence and charisma to manipulate and deceive others.
      Other Protestants tell me “all you need is faith.” I respond, “cool, I have faith.” Then, I’m told my faith isn’t a “saving faith.” So essentially, I do have to merit my salvation by studying and correctly choosing the correct “saving faith” 😂 the mental gymnastics leaves me exhausted.
      The chance that all these reformed bible believing Christians all studied and came to the same conclusion as MacArthur seems highly unlikely. Especially since you all claim him to be the best theologian ever. What’s more likely, is that this man influenced countless people to interpret scripture the way he does. So he’s like a pope or bishop, but without apostolic succession.

    I actually started looking into Catholicism in late 2017 because my two favorite preachers at that time (RC Sproul and John MacArthur) couldn’t even agree on something so important as infant baptism; RC Sproul was for it and MacArthur was against it. This caused so much stress and confusion in me, I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that two of the most biblical intellectual and intelligent pastors couldn’t see eye to eye on that matter, AND they both had strong arguments off of the SAME Bible. Anyway, somewhere in between it all I rediscovered my Catholic Faith which even though I was baptized in as a baby, I fully condemned and hated all throughout my 20s. Thankfully through God’s grace I am in the process of being in full communion with the Church (I did my confirmation last month, had my son baptized and will be having my marriage blessed soon). Btw, sadly RC Sproul passed away in 2017. I can say that even though I don’t agree with his theology, ultimately it was what pushed me back to Rome Sweet Home 🙏🏼.

    Sproul should talk to Catholic apologists like Scott Hahn, Patrick Madrid, Steve Ray, Brant Pitre, Taylor Marshall, Jimmy Akins, Trent Horn and Tim Staples, among others, and pick their brains on Catholic truths.
    His broadsides and generalisations are pathetic and unintelligent and smack of ignorance.
    Sproul and Protestants like him should have the humility to study what the Catholic apologists have to say on issues they are in opposition to the Catholic faith. It could be a learning experience for Sproul and his like-minded folk.
    Many of the Catholic apologists mentioned in this comment are actually converts from Protestantism.
    Problem is Sproul wants to be faithful to the theologians into which he was born at any cost, even at the cost of truth.

    Mary and the saints are filled with the Spirit; they are not dead, ugly, evil-looking, man-made objects. Like Abraham, Moses and Elijah, they are full of life and dwell with God in heaven (Matthew 17:3; Luke 2:38; John 5:45; John 8:56 & Heb. 12:1). The Catholic Church says we are to venerate...not worship...them as you might do with your earthly ancestors. But since they are filled with the Third Person of the Godhead, it still wouldn't be a sin if we did worship them because it is that special manifestation of the Holy Spirit in them that attracts us and provides the lines of communication. That's why it is called, "the communion of the saints." What Sproul doesn't understand is that Christ's resurrection overcame death and it's one kingdom in both heaven and earth.

      I think you'll find that as your research goes on, the answers will become really clear -- they certainly did for me. So much of what we've heard about Catholicism our entire lives have come from other Protestants, and it doesn't take much reading of the Catechism (I was 1060 of those numbered paragraphs into it by my initiation) and those Catholic authors to see how inaccurately Catholicism has been portrayed in our churches. I think you'll discover, as I did, a faith that is more authentic, more ancient, more beautiful, and more powerful than anything Protestantism has to offer. May God bless you in your studies!

    I was Church of Christ for 35 years, became Catholic at this year's Easter Vigil. I was raised by parents who didn't go to church and who hated Catholicism (and any other church that tried to exert authority in believers' lives, including my Church of Christ that I later joined as an adult), and I grew up strongly anti-Catholic as well. I wouldn't give Catholics 2 seconds of my time. In my Church of Christ years, all I ever heard were arguments like the ones you highlighted in this video -- arguments by fellow Protestants, many of whom never even went to a Mass themselves!
    Thank God for good, strong Catholic teachers and apologeticists who are passionate about their faith and are gifted by God at making strong arguments for the Church. People like yourself, Steve Ray, Keith Nester, Bruce Sullivan, Bishop Barron, Karl Keating, and others. My turning point? The Eucharist. Any sincere Protestant will be forced to consider the rest of Catholicism, if only they can be fully convinced about the Eucharist. After I realized I'd been wrong in rejecting the real presence, I HAD to ask what else I had been wrong about -- and discovered what a shaky foundation Protestantism stands on as I did my research. Thank God for that! As I opened up, I felt God's presence in my life in ways I'd never experienced Him before, affirming my path ahead. Tears of joy were shed. The whole process wasn't smooth and it took over a year, but it's crystal clear now.
    I'll be Catholic until the day I die.

I’ve had pastors condemn the Catholic Church from the pulpit who clearly didn’t do their research, and I realized a couple months ago I didn’t actually know what Catholics believe, despite condemning them most of my life. I’m learning so much now thanks to this channel and others. Lots of baggage and straight up wrong teaching to unpack in my brain. But I’m loving the Catholic faith that I’m discovering!

    Regarding intercession of saints: Jesus Himself says that God is not the God of the dead, but the living. That all those who are saints are actually truly alive with God in Heaven. The problem is, often Protestants will quote the Psalms (the dead cannot hear anything; it is the living who praise you) as proof that if we ask the saints for prayers that they fall on dead ears.
    Also - Mass. When I taught Catechism, this is how I explained it (and how I explain it, period). Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary transcended space and time. St. John the Apostle and Evangelist considers the Last Supper, Death, and Resurrection as one event (which is why the Triduum Mass is actually one Mass in three acts - though the Liturgy of the Eucharist is celebrated twice and communion received three times, there is no dismissal on Holy Thursday night, no collect or dismissal on Good Friday, and the collect for the Easter Vigil occurs AFTER the 3-7 Old Testament readings). In the Mass, we are transported to the Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus all at once. Jesus is not being re-sacrificed, WE are becoming witnesses of His One and Only True sacrifice and participating in it.

In other words, is a lame attempt to claim that the true Catholic Church is just "one more among many" and hence could be ignored and has no authority.

Let me tell you there is nothing greater; nothing higher, and certainly nothing more magnificent than the King of kings and Lord of lords than the mountaintop of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. To go off in pursuit of something better or to follow a substitute of something better is to lose oneself in the crags and crevices of the slopes that fall away from true Christianity. I'm telling you there is only one place to fall from that height and that is into the filthy and fevered swamps of either false religion or the cults where the serpents and the scorpions await you. Beyond rationality is insanity, beyond medicine is potions and poisons beyond love is lust that leads to perversion, beyond fascination is addiction, beyond Christ is Just fantasy and mark the words that outside the Word of God and beyond Christianity or the Bible that Catholicism does not adhere to is nothing but death, hopelessness, darkness and heresy.

Look around you 'Komrade'? The absence of Christ and God's words of correction has put you in spiritual ruin! How many of you are not standing amid your broken families, amid your shattered lives and are cursing true Christians while thinking, "What the hec is going on in our once beautiful world?" And the truth is, many of you know the answer but refuse to listen to it. You see the spectacles, the same sex, their marriages, the new religions, the refunding of police, people almost falling prostrate before their new political masters, seeing the revolts and killings, and the spectacles, ... And you know what you are saying in your denial of it? "If only I had known. I didn't foresee this coming. Oh why didn't you Christians warn us in time?" And you know what, when we tried to warn you to listen and to discover the truth of your great POTUS to come and him not coming out of the basement to debate the issues, you worshipped this so called "perfect disaster" your down in flames messiah Joe 'sharing the wealth' Bye Dunn!

    One thing that I have learned from debating non-Catholics on several forums and reading about conversions. When a Protestant converts to Catholicism it is usually because they did a deep study of Christianity and scripture and have found the fullness of Truth in the CC. They never bash the church they left behind. They appreciate what they learned in their Protestant Churches. However, when a Catholic leaves the Church, they have all sorts of vile rhetoric they spew and they spit out lies and false teachings they claim the CC taught them, i.e. Catholics worship Mary, Purgatory is a second chance, Catholics believe they are saved only by works, Catholics have idols in the churches and their homes. etc., etc. and spew all sorts of hatred towards the Church, BUT are now saved. As I have heard it said that a Catholic who is ignorant of his faith, will soon be a protestant.

    Is just funny to hear Macarthur saying that we depict God as very "tough and wrathful" if in their theology:
    1. God only saves the elect and the non elect he sends to hell even if they don't have any choice to be regenerated and choose God.
    2. He is fond of saying that the only thing we deserve is hell
    3. Many Calvinist like him say that their God brought about the Holocaust. Not that he allowed it, but also that he has decreed and actively caused it.
    4. His theology of the atonement says that the wrath of God was directed to Jesus Christ and that he was punished by all our sins. See for example this excerpt from the Institutes: "In order to interpose between us and God’s anger, and satisfy his righteous judgement, it was necessary that he should feel the weight of divine vengeance. Whence also it was necessary that he should engage, as it were, at close quarters with the powers of hell and the horrors of eternal death"...."that he bore in his soul the tortures of condemned and ruined man."
    Catholic theology will reject all that because we believe in a true loving Father, which really is in stark contrast with the moral monster of the God of Calvinism.

I would go to as many as six different churches a week, I listened to thousands of podcasts of different Protestant pastors while I was at work. Most of what Protestant pastors preach is Protestant apologetics, basically propaganda. They give you half of a gospel, which is all about repentance.

They willingly and willfully deny the sacramental life of the Church, because that’s how the battle is won.
    Becoming Catholic scared the hell out of me, it practically paralyzed me to go to my first mass. I’m glad I did. The Eucharist is strong medicine and I really needed it.
    How can I participate in the sacrifice of the mass, ahhh, because Jesus told us to.

They are much clearer. I have really come around to thinking and believing like a Catholic when it comes to grace and redemption. Half the gospel . . . I don't want to deal in half truths that sound good but don't hold water. All the truth is better.

What better proof than the church having to use anathemas in order to make followers believe it's doctrines. If these doctrines or teachings were true, why all these anathemas? Damn someone to hell for not believing? What does scripture say. The church does not have the same authority that God does.the church tries to be God and impose John 3:16 and John 3:36 to it's teachings. My last comment. Does the church pronounce anathemas for not believing scripture, the bible? No. Why could that be? Because the bible is accepted as true.

    If it’s any consolation, Bryan, those of us who are Protestants but don’t ascribe to a Calvinist soteriology have to deal with similar things from teachers such as Sproul and MacArthur. Sproul has made the comment in his book, “Willing to Believe: The Controversy over Free Will”, that Arminians are “barely” Christian (By the way, not all non-Calvinist Protestants are technically “Arminians,” though that term is often used colloquially as a catch-all for non-Calvinist Protestants). So, many of us in the Protestant world aren’t exempt from his ire, either.
    What you saw in MacArthur’s clip is common for him. He likes to trivialize and present a caricature of positions he disagrees with.
    In fact, it was the study of Calvinism and Calvinist teachings from the likes of Sproul, MacArthur, Piper, White, and Calvin, himself, that made me want to study the early church fathers for a greater perspective. This exposed me to the teachings of Eastern Orthodoxy, and eventually (and very reluctantly!) I started to read Catholic teachings, too. Though, by the time I started studying Catholicism, it was no so much to see the Catholic approach to Calvinist thought, as much as it was motivated by a growing realization that my understanding of the Catholic Church was largely incorrect.
    So, the irony of it is, if I were to become Catholic, teachers like Sproul and MacArthur indirectly get credit for it!

Putting it in context with the whole of scripture is exactly what we Catholics do. We call upon the name of the Lord through prayer and participate in his one eternal sacrifice through the Holy Mass where His one time sacrifice reunites us here on Earth for the atonement of sin just as our forefathers offered sacrifice for the people of Isreal.
      Yes we believe baptism is necessary as stated in Mark 16:16 "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." or John 3:5 "Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit."
      And also participating in Holy Communion as in John 6:53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you"
      We Catholics need no warning because we hold the true teachings of the faith which has been passed down through generations which links back to the original Apostles, Disciples and protected by the Holy Spirit. All any true seeker has to do is look back to what the early Church taught during the years following the death of the original Apostles and learn how the early Christians put their faith into practice. He/She will then see the blessing received to be in communion with the One, Holy, Catholic, & Apostalic Church.

And now Rome would like to create a World religion, which is what Catholicism is: Catholic means just that. WORLD Religion. Understand here who Rome is! Since the reformation, many theologians have known and identified "THE WOMAN THAT RIDES THE BEAST" Luther, Tyndale, Calvin, Knox, Alfred, and many many other scholars have interpreted The Roman Church as this woman holding a Chalice riding the 10 headed Beast. You know of course that the church of Rome, of course says it was Pagan Rome which persecuted and martyred the early Christians. Brothers and sisters of Jesus'church, the interpretation by this guy , who claims it is the church of Rome exclusively, hardly meets the facts. Stripped of its externals, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shintoism, Mohannedisma along with the above rest...and along with ritualistic andcrationalix. Christendom (apostate cults) are identical. They all...ALL!... Winds of the same-same doctrine! All parts of of an unseen satanic system secretly working in different forms since the origins and fountainhead in Genesis chapter1l.
      Never the less body of Christians, Revelation 18:2 indicates that that the woman is a satanically inspired. Harlot and energized. And this should show it is the habitation of demons and foul spirits and it includes spiritism.and the occult. Dear Believers, it is the unclean residue of false every false apostate religions left on the earth, and its substitute for God is the man who stands in the place of God professing to be God. Revelation 17:15 shows it is a vast international WORLD system with three parts. - the first beast, a religious part (Rev 13), the second beast, a political part (Rev. 13). And a commerce Beast, (Rev 18). This beast know was: now is not: and soon will be a cashless beast once it evolves to cashless.

      Unfortunately, we are sad to say that that is not accurate. If it was so easy to understand, all Protestant religions would agree. And yet, they all disagree with each other in every case even down to basic theology. Everyone claims they can read the Bible on their own, and everyone claims to be led by the Holy Spirit, and yet there are thousands of denominations and thousands of more non denomination. The holy spirit is not the author of that confusion because Jesus never told us to go by the Bible alone. Just because your church was spiritually dead, does not mean that the Catholic church is not true and was not started by Christ. Because it was. And it has the fullness of the truth. And remember, it's the same Catholic Church that gave you the Bible in the first place. The same Catholic Church that infallibly chose the books of the Bible and made the biblical Canon under the authority and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the same Catholic Church that copy the Bible for over a thousand years so the world could have it. Only the church that Jesus started has the authority to interpret it with any finality. Just some things to think about. God bless.

      Their egos aren't the only thing that's large. So are their pocketbooks. Money has a way of covering over a guilty conscience in some people.
      I don't trust any "great Christian speaker" who's become a millionaire off of his own ministry. Jesus was in very nature God -- yet lived poor. And so did his apostles, every single one of them. Sproul and Macarthur are FALSE.

      I agree with you about very wealthy tele-evangelists - they are not following Jesus' example are they?
      The Pope is not rich. He could live extravagantly but has chosen, as an example to us, to move out of the probably palatial pontifical palace and live simply.
      You brought in the wealthy tele-evangelists and I just made the point that that is also true, perhaps not to the same extent though, for the Mormon Elders ... except the Mormon Elders keep in secret - Mormons do not have access to their director fees ... and no financial statements are published for the LDS - in stark contrast to the RCC which publishes annual financial statements for each parish and each diocese.
      Blessings.

    In a sense, you are right. The problem is Sproul had a different gospel from the Church (he also had a different church). It begins with "the three solas," but extends farther than that, to other areas.
    Ironically, though a Presbyterian, he probably did not hold to early reformed doctrines such as the salvific nature of baptism (including for infants), else he would not have felt comfortable with baptists, evangelicals, et al. BUT HE DID! Yup. He would overlook such things when speaking / lecturing to Evangelicals and Baptists of different stripes.

    To MacArthur's comment, a loving God? Double predestination and limited atonement screams that God is hate, that He made you for no other purpose to damn you for His own glorification. Unless you're lucky enough to win a cosmic lottery in which case your rear end is covered, and then of course only because God punishes Nestorian Jesus in your place. So if you're 'saved' in Reformed theology then who is going to save you from God who is anything but loving.

    Regarding the Mass, I would look at paragraph 1367:
    1367 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." "And since 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. . . this sacrifice is truly propitiatory."
    First, Christ is not a "victim". Jesus went to the cross willingly and according to the Father's will to accomplish His plan of salvation. Jesus wasn't dragged to the cross...He carried the cross and offered Himself.
    Second, stating "the manner of offering is different" and "is offered in an unbloody manner" sure sounds like a "different" sacrifice. But that's my opinion. Nonetheless, the "benefits" of Christ's sacrifice 2,000 years ago are present totally and fully to everyone who believes in Jesus, and is evidenced by the fact that Jesus is seated at the Right Hand of the Father. It is finished.

    • @CatholicTruthOfficial
      @CatholicTruthOfficial  Рік тому +3

      Thank you for the comment. Jesus is the victim because he was the Pascal lamb who is sacrificed for our sake. That it is offered in an unbloody sacrifice does not mean that it's a different sacrifice. It means that Jesus only dies once.He can't die again. So hes not going to shed his blood again because it was already shed once and for all people. But that sacrifice and merit is made present to us in and through the Eucharist among other ways.

      @CatholicTruthOfficial  Рік тому +1

      Jesus's sacrifice and resurrection was not insufficient. It's just that your sins were not all forgiven in the future. He forgave and paid the price for all sins,. But he does not apply that to us all at once. When we come to him, He cuts off our past, forgives our sins and If gives us a new life.
      However, we continue to sin, of course. And so we continue to need to be forgiven. And because of his once and for all sacrifice, we can find forgiveness anytime we need it, or anytime we fail to follow the commandments or obey him. We can always find forgiveness in him. But the myth that our future sins of already been erased is not a Christian teaching. And never has been.

    I respect R.C. Sproul. He's helped clarify some things about church history and I think he doesn't know better (though he's intelligent). He misses the Eucharist completely and the one thing I read in his book "Knowing Scripture" he writes that the Bible is *a fallible collection of infallible books* when contesting the Apocrypha (Deuterocanon) books in the Bible that Protestants reject. I really couldn't believe he wrote that considering most Protestants are Bible alone Christians. Completely ludicrous.
