    Great video. I would add:
    -Catholics live by a liturgical calendar with periods/seasons of feasting and fasting
    -Catholics believe in 2 categories of sin: mortal and venial whereas Protestants don’t make a distinction between sins.
    -Attending Mass is obligatory for Catholics and Sundays and HDOs. Protestants believe attending church service is optional but encouraged.
    -Catholics believe in cooperating with God’s grace and mercy. Protestants tend to see it as more passive.
    -Catholics believe that we have a responsibility to pray for the souls who have died.

    I converted to Catholicism from Pentecostalism in 2013 and it was the best decision I ever made. One of the big things that led to my conversion was reading the early church fathers, people like Saint Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome and Polycarp. They were only one generation after the Apostles and they were 100% Catholic! After re-reading the New Testament in light of their worldview, Conversion was a logical necessity.

    • @archangelliii2536
      @archangelliii2536 Рік тому +43

      I LOVE St. Ignatius. A lot of folks, (including Catholics!) out there are not aware that He is the one who called the Church 'Catholic' for the first time around the year 110 AD just before his Martyrdom. And that was in Antioch, the very same place where the followers of Christ were called 'Christians' for the first time as well. Coincidence? I don't think so! And that was 180 years before Emperor Constantine was even born! So it is laughable whenever I hear a protestant say that Constantine "founded" the Catholic Church. Either that's false or he got into a time machine, went back 200+ years and came back! I take the first!

      Let it be known to all: Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
      Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
      Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
      These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
      There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
      They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
      Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
      "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
      Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
      8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
      9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
      Acts 2:38 KJV
      38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
      Luke 11:13 KJV
      13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
      John 14:21-24 KJV
      21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
      22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
      23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
      24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
      3 John 1:11 KJV
      11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. *He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.*
      1 John 3:6-10 KJV
      6 *Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.*
      7 Little children, let no man deceive you: *he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.*
      8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
      9 *Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.*
      10 *In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,* neither he that loveth not his brother.

      By their fruit, you shall know them! The Apostolic Church had dispersed authority. James governed the Church, Peter provided leadership, while Paul wrote most of its dogma (James administered, Peter led, Paul taught). In today's apostate RCC, every authority is subsumed in an infallible Pope, with disastrous consequences. Let me start with consequences for society.
      Both the Orthodox and the Romanists believe in the Supremacy of Tradition. Consequently, they both rejected the Reformation, by which the true Church returned to the Supremacy of Scripture which Jesus and the Apostles believed. The direct result of their heresy was that all the monsters of power in Europe (Adolf Hitler, Frances Franco, Benito Mussolini, Tito, Lenin, Stalin, the Napoleons, King Leopold, all the Communist dictators, and even today's Vladimir Putin) have been produced EXCLUSIVELY by those two denominations. The nations and sub-nationalities that accepted the Reformation were totally spared of these monsters. No nation of the Reformation became a victim of any of those radically evil -isms (Communism, Leninism, Fascism, Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism). Nazism was the brain child of a would-be RC priest. No nation of the Reformation has had a Head of State or Head of Government judicially executed or toppled by force of arms or via an insurrection since 1800.
      What is the essential difference between Haiti (a basket case) and Jamaica (a thriving country). One is Romanist, the other mainly Anglican. What is the essential difference between South America (with so many "issues") and North America (with long-sustained stability and democracy). One is Romanist, the other largely anti-Romanist. Why was colonialism in Nigeria or Ghana so benign while in Congo or Namibia it was rapacious. The colonizers in Congo, etc. were Romanists, and the ones in Nigeria, etc. were Reformed (in fact, it was mainly because of relentless pressure from Britain that the Belgians were forced to reform their reign of terror in Congo). Why was there a movement for the abolition of slavery in the UK, but not in Italy. The populace of one nation has (or rather, used to have) a Bible-based conscience; the other has ritualist Christians. Same reason you have an intractable mafia problem in most RC- majority countries (including Italy) but not in the nations of the Reformation. The ill effects of Romanism are so profound that TODAY while all the nations of the Reformation retain the Cross of Christ on their flags, not a single RC-majority nation does so.
      Have you heard the common joke in Italy that only Italians could have taken Christianity and turned it into the Roman Catholic Church? Even the Italians have enough self-awareness to understand the distance between Apostolic Christianity and Romanism. The license to (mis)interpret Scripture and the wild liturgical innovations of Rome were by-products of the Italian character (i.e., highly romantic, imaginative, and licentious). Good for art and architecture, but disastrous for a historical faith like Christianity which is founded on truth.

      Question for catholics that has been troubling me.
      If there is works are needed for salvation, then why was the thief on the cross saved? The thief on the cross didn't have time to do works. He didn't have time to get baptized. He just believed. And Jesus forgave him and by grace he was to meet Jesus in paradise
      Please explain. ❤. May peace be with you.

      @@Aubrey2004-j4k Crucifixion was a Roman punishment reserved for sedition and rebellious slaves. The chances of thieves being crucified are very slim. The gospels were written between 70 and100 CE by men who never knew Jesus nor ever met anyone who had met Jesus. You can’t look at them as historical works.

    I have been non-denomination Christian, agnostic, atheist, and now Roman Catholic for now over 50 years.
    I believe there is much more to being a Christian than trying to literally believe in all the contradictions in the Holy Bible. I believe in Jesus! I believe what He taught, not what some preacher may have said what He taught. There is a "Tradition" Jesus passed that tradition on to St. Peter and not to Martin Luther or other near do wells.

      @K-C McCann I was born and raised in a strict catholic family and what I remember about the concept (and the menace) of excommumication is more or less what you say. In some notorious cases such as kings, heressy, dissolute artists, etc. excommunication could be the result of a process involving the church hierarchy, such as what happenned to, in example, Henry VIII, Martin Luther or Paganini, but in most cases it was just the shunning of local priests and community, for things like practicing witchery, getting divorced or marrying a non-catholic person (quite random, as you can see). Anyway, it depended on the historical moment, country and other circumstances. Nowadays I think this procedure is not used any more, at least in ordinary life.

Formal excomunication is the ultimate measure the Church will take, and usually it does not do it, but use lesser forms of punishment, such as silence vows, etc. On the other hand, automatic excomunication (latae sententiae) is very common. It is basically an act done by the person who openly, or continuously denies an article of faith after having been clarified of it, like not wanting to repent from a mortal sin, defending atheist ideologies, adhering to anti-catholic groups (such as masons), accepting another religion, etc. And, no, a man who marries a person outside the faith is not excomunicated because of that. There are rules for marrying outside the faith.

Mary was the tabernacle of our lord , so yes, she was sinless. Why would God have Christ born in a corrupt vessel.

    I was raised a Protestant and became a Catholic when we were married. But my Catholic husband and I attended Protestant churches for many years so that our children could attend Sunday school, youth groups, etc-all those things that were not part of the Catholic Church in those days. I had reservations about the authority of the Pope, confession to a priest, prayers to Saints, etc. My husband went to Mass one time back in about 1986, and told me how much it had changed. We went to Catholic Mass for 10 years, but I was so busy raising children and teaching high school, that I did not really get to know the faith, se we then attended services at a Methodist Church. Then for some reason, I missed Communion and wanted it very much. Basically, God led me back to the Catholic Church. I studied Catholicism in earnest and realized that truths of the faith and my misconceptions about the faith. I would never go back to a Protestant Church, but we do remain thankful for our experiences with both adult and child Sunday school teachings. I am so happy to really know the Virgin Mary and all the wonderful traditions of the Church. I thank God that my husband and I are finally where we should be.

      Hear me when I say, ye that are Catholic have been deceived and know not God. Ye worship Mary, praying to her; when God tells his to worship none other than him. It is idolatry.
      Catholicism has its own Bible and teachings, which are blasphemous to the word of God: the Holy Bible. As ye follow the teachings of man and not God; ye hear the pope, but not Jesus, yet ye claim to be his disciples!
      These are but a few things I named ye dwell within; there are many more. I tell you now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
      There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
      They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
      Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
      "Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
      Revelation 22:8-9 KJV
      8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

      Eph 2:8-9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
      Heb 4:14-16
      In the book of Hosea God told Hosea , to marry a prostitute , you must love her , though she will not live you have children with her but she will have children with other men you will yearn for her , she will yearn for other men that’s how you treat me , God used Hosea as a metaphor how Israel treats God and how we treat God too the Old Testament is for us to learn what not to do. The New Testament shows us what God did to win our love and to make us right with him.
      The true church are the believers and they come from
      All denominations , including Hindus Muslims Buddhist atheist , all who believe in Jesus and are born again , he gives us the mark of the Holy Spirit as his guarantee that we belong to him
      Take a good look at the statues are they man made ? You can’t ask a man made stature to pray they have sealed lips , Jesus send the Holy Spirit to be with believers to show us he is with us 24/7 . He said, will never leave you or forsake you . Those statues dint know you but Jesus does .8
      Jesus the Great High Priest
      14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[a] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. ##16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.# stop praying to the dead , pray only to Jesus read the Bible to know the truth. Experience the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to the truth, you are responsible for your own salvation . No one else , joining a religion won’t change your salvation, it Jesus you need, and it’s he who gives us faith , we can’t have faith till we experience his love .. gives meaning the truth sets you free.

    Protestants (Evangelical church of Germany), considering becoming a catholic in my mid-30s. I was baptized as a child, learned about the Bible, but due to the rather „open-minded“ church in Germany, lost touch with my religion at an early age, except for going to church on Christmas (which is more of a tradition).
    In northern Germany, it is much more common to be Protestant. I then moved to Munich and connected with many Catholics and started re-discovering Christianity. Now living in Zurich, Switzerland for 8 years, which is again more Protestant and doesn’t feel religious at all, I’m feeling an urge to build a connection to my religion again, and I’m finding more alignment with my personal beliefs in the Catholic Church, than I can with the Protestants, especially locally.

Seit 2 Jahren bin ich jetzt schon Katholik und habe es nie bereut, keine Sekunde. Der katholische Glaube ist so viel reicher und fascettenreicher als diese auf modern machenden Protestantischen Kirchen. Jetzt lebe ich in Berlin, hier gibt es relativ viele kath. Kirchen, was man auf den ersten Blick nicht denken würde. Ich fühle mich in meinen Erzbistum sehr wohl.

      By their fruit, you shall know them! The Apostolic Church had dispersed authority. James governed the Church, Peter provided leadership, while Paul wrote most of its dogma (James administered, Peter led, Paul taught). In today's apostate RCC, every authority is subsumed in an infallible Pope, with disastrous consequences. Let me start with consequences for society.
      Both the Orthodox and the Romanists believe in the Supremacy of Tradition. Consequently, they both rejected the Reformation, by which the true Church returned to the Supremacy of Scripture which Jesus and the Apostles believed. The direct result of their heresy was that all the monsters of power in Europe (Adolf Hitler, Frances Franco, Benito Mussolini, Tito, Lenin, Stalin, the Napoleons, King Leopold, all the Communist dictators, and even today's Vladimir Putin) have been produced EXCLUSIVELY by those two denominations. The nations and sub-nationalities that accepted the Reformation were totally spared of these monsters. No nation of the Reformation became a victim of any of those radically evil -isms (Communism, Leninism, Fascism, Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism). Nazism was the brain child of a would-be RC priest. No nation of the Reformation has had a Head of State or Head of Government judicially executed or toppled by force of arms or via an insurrection since 1800.
      What is the essential difference between Haiti (a basket case) and Jamaica (a thriving country). One is Romanist, the other mainly Anglican. What is the essential difference between South America (with so many "issues") and North America (with long-sustained stability and democracy). One is Romanist, the other largely anti-Romanist. Why was colonialism in Nigeria or Ghana so benign while in Congo or Namibia it was rapacious. The colonizers in Congo, etc. were Romanists, and the ones in Nigeria, etc. were Reformed (in fact, it was mainly because of relentless pressure from Britain that the Belgians were forced to reform their reign of terror in Congo). Why was there a movement for the abolition of slavery in the UK, but not in Italy. The populace of one nation has (or rather, used to have) a Bible-based conscience; the other has ritualist Christians. Same reason you have an intractable mafia problem in most RC- majority countries (including Italy) but not in the nations of the Reformation. The ill effects of Romanism are so profound that TODAY while all the nations of the Reformation retain the Cross of Christ on their flags, not a single RC-majority nation does so.
      Have you heard the common joke in Italy that only Italians could have taken Christianity and turned it into the Roman Catholic Church? Even the Italians have enough self-awareness to understand the distance between Apostolic Christianity and Romanism. The license to (mis)interpret Scripture and the wild liturgical innovations of Rome were by-products of the Italian character (i.e., highly romantic, imaginative, and licentious). Good for art and architecture, but disastrous for a historical faith like Christianity which is founded on truth.

      @annemariekoutsky5054 Fair enough. I stand corrected. Your correcting me affords me the opportunity to better clarify my post and get to the heart of the issue which is: The woman posted that when she “met her husband, she knew she would be a Catholic.” Really? That’s it? That’s all it took. Her comment is not uncommon. True Christians choose the Christian faith because they have met Jesus Christ, not another sinful human being. Countless men and women are choosing faiths of all kinds simply because their significant other is of that faith and they do it for various reasons including keeping the peace, expediency, theological laziness, indifference, harmony, love, lust, etc. That is no way to choose one’s faith (or marriage. catholic divorce rate is 43% Pew Research ) Rarely does one do it because they have looked to Jesus Christ in His word to determine how they can obey him and not be married to the wrong person for the wrong reasons. My father-in-law converted from being a Baptist to being a Catholic so he could marry his catholic fiancé. Really?? That’s why?? Yep! That is common. If fact, doesn’t Catholicism insist one convert in order to marry in the catholic church? So, the general gist of the thread of the posts was attempting to validate Catholicism as being a legitimate faith and her post in no way does that.

      Anyone who claims to tell you the differences between 'Catholics' and 'protestants' in general. probably isn't unbiased.

There's a lot I can say but to be brief, two important points are: 1. Catholics do not "worship" the mother of Jesus, we honor her as Jesus did. 2. It's a historical fact that the Bible as you have it today was compiled by the Catholic Church, not by Protestants, and it was never intended for private interpretations (2 Peter 1:20). Non-catholic Christians can quote chapters and verses, but often miss their contexts. The same can said for Catholics who haven't learned the correct way to read the Bible.
      Finally, I believe that Jesus told us to "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Therefore, you take care of your own soul and I will, by the grace of God, take care of mine.
      God bless.

      @@TIJoe-te9quI used to think Luther did a noble deed when I didn’t know everything he claimed and never as a Protestant thought about the obvious fruit of sola scriptura and sola fide on display all around me.
      Luther rejected church authority to claim his own. He was not a good man and he made many unscriptural claims, creating a following that knows little of his teaching other than the propaganda repeated over and over by Protestants. Scripture states plainly that we are not justified by faith alone, but Protestants hold firmly to it and try to explain away James while adding words to Romans. It’s mind boggling!
      Luther was a schismatic heretic. If you read his writings it will give you a much different view of the man who is famous to Protestants for his unscriptural claims. The reality is that sola Fide isn’t refuted in scripture and sola scriptura isn’t found anywhere in the pages of scripture, which was given by the Holy Spirit and defined by the one Holy Catholic Apostolic church.

    With that said, I believe in the ten Catholic principles presented by Dr. Taylor in this podcast. I respect and accept all Protestant believers and their own princilals, but as for me, my personal choice is that of my Catholic faith. My dad was Protestant, and my mom was a practicing Catholic. I would be in total loss if I were to give up my Catholic heritage and would constantly be searching for more if I had been raised in a faith other than one instituted by Jesus.

      Protestants aren't perfect either and many believe in themselves to believe or accept God or whatever. But sadly for both sides, Jesus always takes a back seat. He came, he taught, he died on the cross, now He is in heaven and his job is done. So much people ignore, "where 2 or 3 are gathered I am there with you". We, being humans base our beliefs on ourselves and our works cause we can't see God, so how do we fully trust God? Abraham did when he trusted God with offering his son as an offering. But God stopped him and gave him a ram, caught by the horns.
      Here we squabble over the differences between the denominations. Even Paul said something against it. But we have denominations because traditional tear the church apart.
      As long as we know and believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was raised from the dead on the 3rd day, to defeat sin, death and the devil. We will be saved. And when he returns for his church, both Protestant and Catholics will be raised and reunited with their bodies and taken to heaven. This will be the glorious day for all believers!

    I am turning 30 and was raised Catholic on my father's side. I completed confirmation in an accelarated way when I was 17, mostly due to my grandmother having taught me much about Catholicism outside of church. My parents wanted to shelter me and my siblings from religion until we were old enough to really understand what we were getting into, so to say, or simply until we were able to make up our own minds ( I believe around that time there were a lot of sexual assault allegations with the church). I had been to Catholic mass a decent amount of times, was baptised at birth, and had already taken 1st communion prior. My grandparents on my father's side are devout Catholics, and on my mother's side, they are devout protestants. I've never been to a protestant church. This video gave me huge insights into the struggles I faced growing up, and still today, not really understanding the differences between the two and why my parents ultimately got divorced when I was 12. I have to say I got emotional watching it and am grateful for it. I am getting married this year, and my grandmother on my father's side has questioned why the wedding won't be in a church. My fiance grew up Catholic and went to Catholic school , but she had issues in school re: treatment from the nuns, and she is now put off from Catholicism. I would like to get a priest's blessing and will discuss it again with her. I have tried to live by the golden rule and live a virtuous life but feel I fell short in a lot of areas due to shying away from my faith. I don't know if anyone else feels like me, but it takes a lot of courage to be authentic nowadays due to what might happen if you say the "wrong thing" or go against the grain. They say don't talk about religion , sports, or politics. I have struggled with this my whole life, and it seems the stakes are getting higher these days, which is sad. Even putting this general info on a platform like UA-cam could be used maliciously by someone, and so it's hard to trust. I'm ok with God watching , it is harder to trust people. Maybe I just need to pray more. I am grateful for the video, and hopefully, things change. God bless us all.

      🌿🌻 Jesus said to Nicodemus that he must be born again to enter into the kingdom of God. Infant baptism practiced by the catholic church is wrong. The right way to show the powers and principalities of this world that you belong to Jesus is baptism by immersion in water, whereby you take Jesus to be your personal Lord and Savior.

Never was taught or encouraged to read the Bible until my son met & married a Protestant who than gave me my first Bible & invited me to a Protestant church. It was definitely different, people raised hands, music was different but the message was like it was directed to me and I had to hear more & that’s when I stopped going to a Catholic Church. I’m not sure if they teach the youngsters in Sunday school the Lord’s Prayer or Ten Commandments like I was taught in catechism. But I still love saying the Lord’s Prayer with every prayer & the Hail Mary. I still love the Good Friday services & the stations of the cross. I love the Protestant’s encourage you to bring your Bible to service & study it. I don’t like to label myself as a Protestant. I’m a Christian, I believe in the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.

      I am a PC (preacher's child),and I can tell you of me experience being a Convert to the Catholic Church. The Baptist and all the others yes encourage you to bring the Bible to their services but their services are not what the Catholic church does. It is Bible studies and their opinion what the Bible means. There is no awe and understanding what the Sabbath means. If you like Bible studies Catholics do them too and I have actually learned more from them then the 22 years in the Baptist church. Look into the history of the Church Fathers. I was amazed to read and learn things Never taught and I went to a Baptist school from PreK through 12th grade. Memorization and perfecting your testimony was all I received out of it and a bunch of rules. Catholics have rules also but not the same kind. Catholic teaching is for your soul and I hate to say this but I was taught if you don't do this or don't do that then you are not a Christian and need to be saved over and over again because they put doubt into your mind. Also my brother was baptized 3 times before he was 21. Each time he rebelled they would say your weren't really saved the 1st time and now you are saved and must be re baptized. Jesus never said be baptized multiple times. Just something to think about. I hope this may help someone and Please keep reading your Bible because the Holy Catholic church in the 300's felt it was a good thing and was the one that put it together in the first place.

      I've been an atheist (nearly 35 years now) which is far longer than I ever participated (I don't think I ever really believed tbh). My mother is very religious though and has belonged to Methodist churches, Baptist churches, Protestant churches, plain old Christian churches (I never did quite understand what that meant), and that's just what I remember from my childhood. I think she's actually going to a Unitarian church now.
      Maybe it's for that reason that I have a tremendous fascination with religions and the people who practice them. Though I have mostly found, in general, atheists are some of the most curious people about religion and the nature of faith. Often more than those who are religious. Since atheists don't care about a religion of their own, it almost seems to open the door to learning about everyone else's.
      I realized watching this video that every time I've read the Bible cover to cover (three times now, around every ten years) it was a Catholic Bible. I've perused other Bibles, but the text just doesn't sound as pretty, so they were never the ones that I elected to read to completion. It's a little funny though, because my mom went to almost every church except the Catholic Church and by the time I was born, my dad was agnostic and a lapsed Catholic.

    • @JESUS_Saves3747
      @JESUS_Saves3747 9 місяців тому +5

      Are Catholic beliefs and practices biblical?
      The question that concerns every church and its practices should be, "Is this biblical?" If a teaching is biblical (taken in context), it should be accepted. If it is not, it should be rejected. God is more interested in whether a church does His will and obeys His Word than whether it can trace its lineage back to Jesus' apostles. Jesus was very concerned about the Word of God being rejected to follow traditions of men (Mark 7:7). Traditions are not inherently wrong...there are some good and valuable traditions. To reiterate, the concern should be whether a doctrine, practice or tradition is biblical. How then does the Catholic Church compare to the Word of God?
      Salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is regenerated through baptism and maintained through the Catholic sacraments, except through a willful act of sin that destroys the sanctified state of grace. The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace, which we receive through simple faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and that good works are the result of a changed heart worked out in salvation (Ephesians 2:10; I Corinthians 5:17) and through the fruit of new life in Christ (John 15).
      Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that
      Assurance of salvation: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that salvation is not guaranteed or certain. 1 John 5:13 says that the reason for writing 1 John was so that believers could be ASSURED of their salvation.
      Good works: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that Christians are saved by meritorious works (beginning with baptism), and that salvation is maintained by good works (receiving the sacraments, confessing sins to a priest, etc.). The Bible teaches that Christians are saved by grace through faith, completely apart from works (Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 3:10-11; Romans 3:19-24).
      Baptism: In the New Testament, baptism ALWAYS comes AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the reason for salvation; it is faith in the gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches the regeneration of infants through baptism, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible reference to the baptism of infants that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the entire household of the jailer in Philippi was baptized, as recorded in Acts 16:33. However, the context never mentions infants. Acts 16:31 explains that salvation comes by faith. Paul addressed the whole household in verse 31, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not that of infants.
      Prayer: The Roman Catholic Church teaches Catholics not only to pray to God, but also to petition Mary and the saints for their prayers. Contrary to this, Scripture teaches us to pray to God alone (Matthew 6:9; Luke 18:1-7).
      Priesthood: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that there is a difference between priests and "commoners," where the New Testament teaches that all believers hold the priesthood (1 Peter 2:9).
      Sacraments: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that a believer is filled with grace by receiving the sacraments. This teaching is nowhere to be found in Scripture.
      Confession: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that, unless the believer is incapacitated, the only way to be forgiven of sins is through confession to a priest. In contrast, Scripture teaches that confession of sins is made to God alone (1 John 1:9).
      Mary: The Roman Catholic Church teaches, among other things, that Mary is the Queen of Heaven, everlasting Virgin and with redeemer who ascended to heaven. In the Holy Scriptures she is portrayed as an obedient, faithful servant of God who became the mother of Jesus. None of the other attributes mentioned by the Roman Catholic Church have their basis in the Bible. The view that Mary was the co-redemptrix and is another mediator between God and man is not only extra-biblical (found only outside of Scripture), but is also unbiblical (contrary to Scripture). Acts 4:12 declares that Jesus is the only Savior. 1 Timothy 2:5 proclaims that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man.
      Many other examples could be listed here. These points alone clearly identify the Catholic Church as unbiblical. Every Christian denomination has traditions and practices that are not explicitly based on the Bible. This is the reason why Scripture must be the standard for Christian belief and practice. The Word of God is always true and trustworthy. The same cannot be said about church traditions. Our guideline should be: "What does the Bible say?" (Romans 4:3; Galatians 4:30; Acts 17:10). 2 Timothy 3:16-17 proclaims, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly prepared for every good work.

    I'm a cradle Catholic and believe everything you just laid out. I hadn't fully grasped the connection between Luther and Protestantism. I really appreciate the calm, instructive way you presented this material. It gives me a lesson in explaining to others the differences. Thank you for that. There is a publication which really solidified Mary to me: The Poem of the Man God. It showed me exactly why we venerate Our Blessed Mother. I think Protestants, who so much love their Bible, must have a conflict when in their Bible Mary proclaims: "My soul MAGNIFIES the Lord." My Protestant friends think Mary takes away from our Love of God. And of course none of them can understand Transubstantiation, a mystery few can fathom.

If the Lord is the most powerful, the pure, whole, right, complete, almighty, etc... Then how can you believe that another spirit, the spirit of Mary, is the magnification of the lord, which by definition, would mean "the Lord amplified." Wouldn't that mean that you believe that Mary, rather than the Lord, is the almighty spirit?

Look at Jesus’ final instruction to His disciples, “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…(Matthew 28:19). Then seek out other evidences of the presence and work of the Father Creator, the Son Redeemer and the Holy Spirit Sanctifier throughout Scripture.

    I was raised Protestant. In my mid 20's I felt I was in need of something more, I was spiritually undernourished, and was baptized Anglican.
    My wife is a cradle Catholic. She never pressured me in any way. She let me decide for myself. I followed my pre-marriage agreement and my children were raised Catholic. We would attend my Anglican service one week,, and Mass the next.
    Over time I came to prefer Mass more, I was being fed spiritually in a way I wasn't in my own church. I was wanting desperately to take part fully in Mass. My wife's priest knew what was on my heart. I signed up for RCIA and when I made my Profession of Faith 30 years ago, I knew I had come home. It was all due to the Blessed Virgin.
    For background my mom died suddenly when I was a young teen. I never had the chance to say goodbye. I desperately missed her since. One time, while still Anglican, we were at my wife's church picnic, doing a living rosary.
    I was suddenly enveloped with a Love and acceptance that overwhelmed me. I was afraid to even breathe, that simple act might cause me to collapse into an uncontrollable weeping mess. I firmly believe still Mary came and welcomed me, giving me a warm, motherly embrace.
    I knew in my heart where I belonged.

      @Mitchell Osmer Sure Mitchell. Let me see if I can talk on this subject.
      In Mathew chapters 16, 18 and 28 Our Lord Jesus tells His Apostles some very important details. He tells them that it is The Father in Heaven that has revealed something very special to Simon, son of Jonah.
      He then changes Simon's name to Peter, gives him the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, the power to bind and loose, and the power to forgive or retain sins.
      And before He ascends into Heaven He tells them to "go into all nations baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey "all" that I have commanded you."
      All of which was oral Teachings or Tradition with a capitol T.
      "And I will be with you till the end of the age."
      A promise of Divine Assistance.
      We know that the four Gospels and the epistles were not written for decades after Christ ascended.
      But His teachings were taught and handed on.
      We also see in the Gospels that Jesus told them whatsoever you ask The Father in My Name shall be granted.
      Realizing how powerful it is to pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus, I once counted how many times I say the Holy Name of Jesus in praying a rosary. It is 61 times. That's a very interesting number for me because my mom who passed away in 2011 was 61 years old.
      I think that is very interesting.
      The rosary is a collection of prayers recited in a certain order and in these prayers we pray the Holy name of Jesus throughout this time. We also think about or meditate on the birth, life, passion, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ while praying these prayers.
      The word rosary or the method of praying a rosary is not found in the Old or New Testament. The New Testament is found in the rosary.
      For example. One of the prayers we pray in the rosary goes like this.
      (Oh my Jesus,
      Forgive us our sins and save us from the fires of hell,
      And lead all souls to Heaven,
      Especially those who have most need of Your Mercy.)
      In praying a rosary we pray for all souls, including yours.
      And we pray in the name of Jesus as we remember His Divine Life and what He has accomplished for us.
      I and my family and friends find great comfort in praying this beautiful collection of prayers. I have had some very powerful experiences during my prayer time which bring me much comfort and confidence that God is listening to my prayers.
      I'd be happy to share some of these experiences if you're interested. They have brought me to a deeper appreciation of my prayer life.
      I now understand things I didn't before about prayer.
      God bless you brother on your journey with Jesus in this life. Let us all seek a close relationship with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

    Thank you for this explanation. I am now and have always been Catholic. As a young adult I attended a Protestant university because it was across the street from my parents house and the closest Catholic university was far away and I had no way to get there. That was a very interesting time in my life that I will never regret. The main thing I learned and I pray all Christian denominations will understand soon is that we all believe Jesus Christ is our lord and savior and we were created by the same God. We are in a time that the Christian population is dwindling. We need to understand that we can believe what we believe and we can worship the way we choose, but put aside our differences and stand together as brothers and sisters in Christ to uphold our fundamental Christian beliefs❤

      By their fruit, you shall know them! The Apostolic Church had dispersed authority. James governed the Church, Peter provided leadership, while Paul wrote most of its dogma (James administered, Peter led, Paul taught). In today's apostate RCC, every authority is subsumed in an infallible Pope, with disastrous consequences. Let me start with consequences for society.
      Both the Orthodox and the Romanists believe in the Supremacy of Tradition. Consequently, they both rejected the Reformation, by which the true Church returned to the Supremacy of Scripture which Jesus and the Apostles believed. The direct result of their heresy was that all the monsters of power in Europe (Adolf Hitler, Frances Franco, Benito Mussolini, Tito, Lenin, Stalin, the Napoleons, King Leopold, all the Communist dictators, and even today's Vladimir Putin) have been produced EXCLUSIVELY by those two denominations. The nations and sub-nationalities that accepted the Reformation were totally spared of these monsters. No nation of the Reformation became a victim of any of those radically evil -isms (Communism, Leninism, Fascism, Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism). Nazism was the brain child of a would-be RC priest. No nation of the Reformation has had a Head of State or Head of Government judicially executed or toppled by force of arms or via an insurrection since 1800.
      What is the essential difference between Haiti (a basket case) and Jamaica (a thriving country). One is Romanist, the other mainly Anglican. What is the essential difference between South America (with so many "issues") and North America (with long-sustained stability and democracy). One is Romanist, the other largely anti-Romanist. Why was colonialism in Nigeria or Ghana so benign while in Congo or Namibia it was rapacious. The colonizers in Congo, etc. were Romanists, and the ones in Nigeria, etc. were Reformed (in fact, it was mainly because of relentless pressure from Britain that the Belgians were forced to reform their reign of terror in Congo). Why was there a movement for the abolition of slavery in the UK, but not in Italy. The populace of one nation has (or rather, used to have) a Bible-based conscience; the other has ritualist Christians. Same reason you have an intractable mafia problem in most RC- majority countries (including Italy) but not in the nations of the Reformation. The ill effects of Romanism are so profound that TODAY while all the nations of the Reformation retain the Cross of Christ on their flags, not a single RC-majority nation does so.
      Have you heard the common joke in Italy that only Italians could have taken Christianity and turned it into the Roman Catholic Church? Even the Italians have enough self-awareness to understand the distance between Apostolic Christianity and Romanism. The license to (mis)interpret Scripture and the wild liturgical innovations of Rome were by-products of the Italian character (i.e., highly romantic, imaginative, and licentious). Good for art and architecture, but disastrous for a historical faith like Christianity which is founded on truth.

      Anita they basically believe they are going to get to escape the end times by the "rapture", we don't believe that to be the case at all. Thus as a future Catholic you will have to ensure you maintain your state of grace (frequent confessions or at the very least confession when you are in mortal sin), frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist, have with you Holy objects that will help during the end times (Holy: candles, water, salts, oils etc.). Plainly stated if you are still alive when the end times happen you won't get to "skip" it and just be taken up, this is something you will have to endure and thus it is your job to remain ready to go at anytime.

    Hi Taylor, thank you for such a clear presentation. I'm a protestant and I would add a little more about faith and works. We are indeed saved through faith alone but! Anyone who has truly turned to Christ, not just in words but also in heart will want to honour God and follow Christ's teaching. It follows that true repentance will be demonstrated through how a Christian, thinks, speaks and the way they live their life. Saying the words, "I believe in Jesus" and continuing to live without calling on God to help change them into the likeness of Jesus would surely demonstrate a lack of repentance(recognising you need help). God bless, Paul.

He followed the Ten Commandments and treated everyone with love and respect.
      I have many Catholic friends who are wonderful people. One couple in particular are our best friends yet they gave their own daughter a hard time for switching from Catholic to Protestant Christianity. She remains a loving person and a great Mom.
      The examples of Catholics putting ‘church’ and their form of religious practice ahead of being an equally good person who honours God has turned me off church; I am spiritual and live God.

      I was catholic for 50 years, went to primary school taught by nuns, next school also taught by nuns. I believed I was part of a club and had a ticket into heaven. I'd never been introduced to a bible. It was a catholic little book that told us the bare necessities, every prayer was repetitive, all saying the same thing. I also believed all we had to do was have each sacrament had to be followed. Witnessing sick babies and dying adults, panic hitting incase they'd died without the priest giving this last sacrament known as a rite. Also, praying to Mary, and dead people, wither I'd met them or not. I thank our Great Almighty God that He came for me. I dropped everything I was ever taught, I read and read everyday, for twenty years now my Bible, the word of God. Doesn't it make sense to hear what God Himself has to say , especially about my eternity, instead of fearing it from strangers iv never met. I learned first of all, I have a direct line to God myself, I don't need a priest , who by the way, is a sinner himself. God is never to bust nor to far away to hear my cry out to Him, He loves me, He knows my name, He tells me in His word I'm the apple of His Eye. Why would anyone pass up this love letter from God Himself to us? I'm in no group, I don't come under any church name, I stand alone with God , my faith is in Him, true faith is not instant, for me I read and read untill God knew I was truly seeking, we found each other. I fell in love with God, the word is God. The more you seek God the more He opens up to you, you understand certain things when He knows your ready for such things. No one has to pray repetitive words, half the time no one knows what theryr saying, Jesus abhors this . When we pray, we should pray from our hearts in our own words, we can pray like this, anywhere any time, we don't have to be in any buildings. My fav time is when I'm walking. Jesus hears me, direct line. And as for statues, if they fell and broke up would you all still pray to the broken plaster? Pictures, if they smashed , would you pray to broken glass and paper, or throw in bin? And as for people asking me, do you ever feel your ( dead ) mother or father around you? I say no way. Reason, if theyr in heaven, why would I expect to feel them here around me. Heaven and hell are places people go to and stay, no one pops in and out as they please. Is anyone hearing me? I'm the messenger, don't shoot me. Go find a bible and find out yourself, starting with New Testament, as for the last book Revelation, don't read this as you will not understand it, untill God , the Lord Jesus wants you to . It may take years. God bless you all.

I love speaking about my religion and would like to help people, so many not practicing anymore because they think they do not need to go to church to believe.

I would love to talk to my family of the importance of practicing our religion but I cannot as they never let me talk about God, they just say that it’s not the place to talk about God, wherever we are and that they don’t need this talking about God. Jesus Christ was so right when He said that it’s very difficult for a prophet or apostle/deciples to evangelize in their own town of people who know you but it’s better to go to places where people don’t know you and it’s so true.

      🕵️In human perspective, good works are necessary as evidence of one's true faith. Humans as we are, we don't have the capacity to know whether a person has true faith or not. Thus, good works, being visible to the eyes, are necessary to serve as evidence of one's true faith. This is the context of James' epistles. IT'S ABOUT HOW A PERSON CAN BE JUSTIFIED BEFORE MEN AND NOT BEFORE GOD.
      🕵️ However, in God's perspective, being omniscient, good works are not necessary anymore. This is because everything is visible to him. He doesn't wait for a person to prove his true faith through good works because God knows it already. This is the context of Paul's epistles. IT'S ABOUT HOW A PERSON CAN BE JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD.
      1️⃣ Grace and works can't be fused together. If we mix faith with works, it nullifies the effect of grace:
      📖Romans 11:6
      And if by grace, then is it NO MORE OF WORKS: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
      📖Romans 4:5
      But to him that WORKETH NOT, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
      2️⃣ Salvation is by faith and not by works:
      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.
      📖Titus 3:5
      NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
      🚨 Practical example:
      The theft on the cross with Jesus Christ did not have the chance to prove himself through good works, because his hands and feet were both nailed on the cross. He was not baptized. He did not have the chance to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. However, it's his true faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that saved him unto paradise.
      💥 B O T T O M L I N E 💥
      🧑‍⚖️ Jesus Christ saved us through faith. Good works are the byproducts of faith. As Christians, we do good works not to be saved from hell, but out of responsibility as saved individuals.
      🧑‍⚖️ Jesus Christ did not saved us to become futile. He saved us to become productive.
      🧑‍⚖️ Therefore, it's GRACE THROUGH FAITH that saved us, and GOOD WORKS are just byproducts of it.

    I am a disciple, a Christ follower, and someone who is saved by faith and loves the Lord, so I do the works that he asks me to do, including loving my neighbor as myself, obeying and serving my God. I learned how to follow him closely by His in the Bible. It is a process. I think you did a beautiful job describing the Catholic church. What I care about is living a life and being with other true believers that glorifies God. I don’t think you described what the protestant church believes , its practices,or is the foundation. There are many different churches and there are very many now false churches and false religions that call themselves Christian. We need to be together as all believers, Christians- Catholic or Protestant . Each with different ways of Worshiping. We may not use the word - Sacraments, but those different practices and beliefs are part of our churches too.. Thank you so much for sharing so clearly about Catholicism. I don’t know if there is a clear video between a protestant believer and a Catholic believer but I think that would be helpful also. Thank you and God bless.

    This was fantastic! I found you today by scrolling UA-cam to find something of interest to listen to. What a great surprise to find this. I enjoyed your commentary immensely. I am a Catholic Italian woman. Both sides . Father Sicilian, mother Calabrese. Grew up going to church every Sunday and receiving communion. I was lost for a great many years but have found myself back in church each week and receiving communion. It was a really good thing to get back to my roots!

      @Donna Mardirosian Dr. Marshall is very critical of Pope Francis. He strongly advocates for the Traditional Latin Mass and deeply dislikes the Novus Ordo. And he has some beliefs that his critics like to label "conspi racy theori es" despite the fact that they are obviously true (see the video "Vigano Explains the Deep Church and Great Reset" to understand what I mean). Those seem to be the complaints I hear about Dr. Marshall. Personally, I love his work and really enjoy his channel. I'm learning a lot from him

    Raised in the Roman Catholic tradition and having attended Catholic schools from 1st grade through University, and instructed with the Catechism and Bible Study, I was taught exactly what you preached. It was very interesting to hear the comparison with the Protestant faith. The 10 differences made it very clear to the listener. Excellent discussion and easy to understand. Jeannie Caserta
