I was born catholic but i am becoming more and more Catholic, this video will help me answer my brother that became a Protestant, pray for me that i may have calm and patience defending the Catholic faith
Hi. My concern about the Catholic faith is that it seems different than what the Bible teaches. For example, Catholics seem to unanimously agree that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." That is, are there any points that you disagree with, that are not Catholic truths taught by your teachers? Yet, these points of doctrine seem universally accepted by Catholic teachers and lay people alike! Yet, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved." Is this not a totally different gospel? Moreover, Jesus affirms Paul's words, saying, "Ask and you shall receive" and "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Hence, simply you ask God and the Holy Spirit will transform you; you will be born again, saved and cleansed from your sin. Paul warns us, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Yet, what will you do with Romans 10.8, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved'? So many Catholics, in answering this, blatantly contradict Paul! Some say that baptism is the same as 'calling on the Lord.' Others have said that they will be 'temporarily' saved. I hope that you will not contradict Paul! I hope that you will know Christ! As it is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Wow...right around 1:01 you tie Matt 7:24-27 and Matt 16:18 together. I’ve been studying apologetics off and on for years and never heard that. That is brilliant!

@@stldrew6810 Hi. Thanks for writing. You said that my post is inaccurate. Please point out how. For example, Catholics teach that, to be saved, you must be batptized and partake of Catholic communion. Moreover, there is no assurance of salvation. If you would like, I will point out the references for these beliefs in the Catechism. Yet, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved." So, which is it? Can I meet the Lord just by asking or must I be baptized to be saved? You have a different gospel! Christ died on a Cross so that, just by calling on His Name, we can be made new, born again! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
that’s sad i read all these protestants comments who don’t like the fact that their church is the cause of a revolt against the only holly apostolic church christ founded they want to defend their church and give reasoning as to how their church is the one and only church but the truth hurts it’s like eating your veggies it’s not always the easiest thing to do but it’s the best for you they may feel the holy catholic christian church(catholic is the greek word for universal, translation: catholic christian -universal christian) is wrong that martin luther reformed the christian faith but the church was made by Jesus it is an extension of Jesus to say the church needed reformation is to say God made a mistake obviously that’s impossible Luther thought himself greater than God in creating his church to follow any church not catholic is to follow a doctrine established by a man who had psychological issues. yes i understand you want to believe your church is different you’re saved by grace, or by faith alone but do your research the truth is so easy to attain the lord said following him is not easy stay with your church of christ church on the way or any other of the other churches following a false doctrine or come home where we will love you and welcome you home Peace of the Lord be with you

I have a question. There was a mention of burning incense to the bronze serpent. And it was a sign of idolatry. How can we respond to non-Catholics who entering one of the parishes of the Catholic Church can sometimes see the incense sticks burning in front of an icon of a saint (Virgin Mary, for example). They can also point to it and say "See, you are committing idolatry by burning incense to someone who's not God".
It's because in that context burning incense meant worship. We, in the other hands, don't intend worship Mary or some saint, but just venerate them and worship God through them
I was shocked to learn psalm 104 is a Purported rip off of egyptian worship... The same notes that play death metal music also play cathedrals... Satan polluts what God made... Gideon even made an altar out of an altar right? I'm a prot and I always admired how caths worship and pray if God wants me a catholic 🤔

I read in revelations (I can't remember the exact way it is worded, try to find it....) Our "prayers " are carried up to God by the angels and our prayer "float" up to the heavens in smoke from candles and insence. The angels gather and bring prayers to God.

@@kenshiloh no, I'm so sorry, what you have described is not correct. I don't know who you are, or what religion you practice, or what you believe, but I see your name in all sorts of comments from all different kinds of videos. You seem to always ask the same questions. I would have a concern about if you are truly seeking the truth and have sincere questions that you want the answers for, or , are you an anti catholic who constantly puts out ridiculous questions and who doesn't care for authentic answers, but you just want to cause confusion and division amongst Catholics. If you truly want the truth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, listen to other catholic apologists for the best answers. But, I can tell you this, nothing, NOTHING, in the Catholic Church goes against the Bible. It has been proven and shown, over and over again.
@@kenshiloh when Paul says, "whomever teaches a different gospel...." Paul is Catholic. The first Church, the only Church, the Church founded by Jesus Christ, Himself, was and is Catholic. So, if you are outside of the Catholic Church, you are the one following a "different " Gospel.
@@kenshiloh The Bible says, .....to be saved,.... You must believe, obey, have faith, do good works, persevere, call upon the name of the Lord, repent of your sins and be baptized, eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and about another dozen things are listed in the Bible as to what is needed to be saved. As Catholics, we adhere to all of them, in Accordance with the New Testament and the New Covenant in Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote in Galatians 1:11-12 that the gospel was not given to him nor did he learned it by men, but that it was revealed to him by Jesus Christ himself.
@@michaelschwartz4549 AND- that the Catholic sect don't have to make up catholisim DOGMA, because it has no authority over Jesus Christ words, given to Paul, for us to use it as a guide & doctine, that's why we don't need catholisim DOGMA
@@luzlopez2270 to what? To catholisim DOGMA, that derails christianity to catholisim, we Christians want to convert catholics to christians, you catholics want to convert christians into catholics, a none biblical Roman pagan catholisim, I rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ.
There are MANY interpretations, but there's only ONE TRUTH....The inspired Word of God and He is the authority over all the Word that He spoke..the BIBLE. Read Revelation Chapters 21 and 22
You state at 1:25:26 “Anglicans are not valid because they changed the words of ordination.” What Christ left as a sacramental sign, noone can change. Taking Baptism as an example, Christ himself gave us the words of baptism. If one were to change those words, it would render the sacrament invalid. Decrees Of ecumenical Councils solemnly approved by the Pope are infallible. The words of the consecration of the Bread and Wine were solemnly (infallibly) decreed at Council of Florence in 1441. The Novus Ordo “catholic” “mass” uses a faulty consecration. It is therefore invalid. Furthermore, the words of ordination were changed by 2nd Vatican Council in the 1960’s. Those too were solemnly declared at Florence. Therefore, the same charge you level (correctly) against The Anglican church for having invalid Holy Orders and a broken line of Apostolic Succession also applies to the post Vatican 2 “catholic” church. There are still two valid lines of Bishops left: the Thuc line and the Lefevbre line. Only the Tridentine Mass is valid. I suggest you seek out a valid Catholic priest. Study your faith. Ask me for specifics...anyone...and I would be happy to share some resources.

@@kenshiloh Reply to Ken Shiloh You ask, “Are there any points that you disagree with that are not Catholic truths taught by your teachers?” What does that even mean? Anyone can learn what the Catholic Church teaches. Her teaching exists in Her magisterium. If you read “Decrees of Ecumenical Councils,” by Norman Tanner, S.J.; Sources of Catholic Dogma by Denzinger and study all the Church’s Councils through the ages, you would have a very good understanding of Church teaching. The Catholic Church is my teacher. You are all over the place in your question. Protestants like to pick and choose a passage here or there and forget everything else. You fixate on one passage and don’t integrate the whole. “Whoever calls upon the lord shall be saved.” What about Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved?” So all you have to do is be baptized and believe and you can divorce, fornicate, commit murder, get drunk and be a heroin addict and you’ll be saved, right? That’s why Christ left us a Church, not a book. The Catholic Church was fully functional in the first century. She had Her hierarchy from the Pope to Her Bishops, Priests and faithful. Unlike all previous churches, anyone from any nation could be Catholic. The Greeks used their word Katholikos which means universal to describe this Church. Anyone could join. The Church was called Katholikos, or Catholic as we say, in the first century. This was the Church begun by Christ, the Catholic Church. Did anyone save their souls in the first three centuries? If they did, they did so without a Bible. The Canon of the Bible wasn’t settled until 325 A.D. There are over 600 gospel accounts that we know of in existence. The Catholic Church chose four in 325 A.D. as inspired at the Council Of Nicaea. Books didn’t exist until 1450 when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Books simply didn’t exist. Nobody had a Bible. There were entire dioceses without a Bible. The Canterbury tales were written in the 14th century. One of the stories was about these pilgrims who were traveling to Canterbury because the cathedral had a…wait for it…Bible and they were going to sit in the pews after the sacrament was removed and listen to people read from the Bible. Are you following my point? For all practical purposes the Bible didn’t exist until about 1500. So how did anyone save their souls without a Bible? (The Catholic Church, that’s how.). Now think about this: the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church chose its contents; the Catholic monastic system preserved it through painstaking hand reproduction for 1500 years and the Catholic Church was its sole expounder. Then 15 hundred and 17 years after the birth of Christ, Martin Luther comes along and says the church had it all wrong for 1500 years? That’s laughable! Only an idiot would fall for the lies of protestantism. I don’t have to prove anything: you do. There is so much about protestantism that you can’t reconcile with the Bible. How about Matt 16:18? Remember Christ renamed Simon Bar Jonah and called him Kephas? Where did the wise man build his house? In the sand? No, he built it on the rock. Get it? That was an allusion of things to come. Then in Matt 16:18, we see the following, “And Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? [14] But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? [16] Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. [18] And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Gates of Hell means heresy or false teaching. So my Bible friend, you have a conundrum: either protestantism is right and the gates of hell did prevail, as Luther said, against the Catholic Church, making Christ a liar and the Bible untrue….or…the Bible is correct and the gates of hell will never prevail against Christ’s Church which is the Catholic Church,in which case you are in a false religion and going to Hell. The Catholic Church has infallible taught only one doctrine more than once. Every doctrine She has taught, She has taught only once…except for one, which She has taught not twice but three times. And that is the doctrine of extra ecclesium nulla salus: outside the Church nothing is saved.
@@jeffreylonigro1382 this is his copy and paste comment. He's posted this same thing several times. Doesn't seem like he is actually seeking knowledge, but only criticism, falsely by the way
The building (church) was not first. According to the book of acts 11:20 to 26 many people gather together and convert to Christ, this was the body of Christ without a building, the building ( church) in Jerusalem heard that this was the first gentile church of Christ in Antioch where early christianity ( not Catholics) was form, why don't you teach this? It is God's word!
Another misread of the text... let me break it down for you. ACTS 11:22 clearly states "The Church in Jerusalem". ACTS 11:26 only states that "it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians."
@@rpalmatres5898 but not a catholicism dogma church, this came 300 years later, and is not the true christian church, that's why I'm a christian without a title of division, the Catholic sect cause many divisions, the Catholics then we're protestants, not me I never was catholic, my parents were christians , only Catholics are protestant
@@juliorivera870 julio rivera Right on Brother! We got this figured out. Let's continue on the mission of Jesus Christ using the book the Catholic Church put together and our own eternal wisdom. Sounds like a plan. Just one question, if you and I disagree, how do we know who is right?
@@rpalmatres5898 who told you that lie, the diciples were inspired by the holyspirit, Paul was inspired by Jesus himself, the holyscritures were written in Greek, all the diciples were Christians not Catholics, we still have copies of the old Greek TEXTUS RECEPTUS that you need to study, the old testament judism guides you to christianity, anything else is. A CURSE, if you believe in the old testament you will find Christ throughout the Hebrew scripture.
@@rpalmatres5898 I have been a Christian for 20yrs during this 20 yrs my mind sometimes doubt, but last year I pray to the Lord in my backyard, I said to Jesus: Lord I need to know the truth, can I take a picture of you, the next day in Jan 2019 his face appeared in the clouds I got my cell and took 2 pics of Jesus, in the pic you could see the nail print on his right hand, I now have no doubt at all that the new testament is truth, of course this is a personal experience, only to the people that believe, Jesus will manifest himself to them, I don't need to make up stories to convince anyone that will be a sin against my soul, all I could say to people is I have 100% faith no doubt about it, I have evidence of the truth. God bless you.
Peter is not the rock, Jesus was talking about himself. Therefore if Peter is the rock, then Jesus is not the foundation of the Catholic Church, and this will make christ foundation of the Christian Church.
@@juliorivera870 I do certainly disagree with your particular interpretation, would you be so kind, please elaborate on how we should be like Peter, a living stone.
@@rpalmatres5898 if you really don't know, I will explain it to you,. Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian Church, we are the stones ( blocks). Each of us will stack up to make the living stones church, the disciples are the first stones, we are the rest of the stones, and Christ is also the corner Stone,this means that the disciple Peter, is one of the first stones on top of Christ the rock foundation
@@juliorivera870 That seems like a reasonable contemporary analogy but your interpretation clearly does not reference the complete context of how the disciples would have understood what Jesus was saying. Peter is the Rock that Jesus is building his church upon. When read in full context, it is clear "the church" belongs to Jesus alone even though Peter is the rock. Jesus also goes a step further to emphasize this by giving Peter the keys which mean authority, but at the same time also mean Peter is but a servant of the lord. For Jesus is the one true King and foundation. 15 Thus says the Lord God of hosts, “Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him: 16 What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock? 17 Behold, the Lord will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you, 18 and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master’s house. 19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station. 20 In that day I will call my servant Eli′akim the son of Hilki′ah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father’s house. 24 And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father’s house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons. 25 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 22:15-25) 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Mathew 16:18-19)
1timo 3:15 we the people are the church, not the building, the building is called the house of God, but our bodies is the temple of Christ the true church, and Christ is the head, of the people, the pastor or the priest are part of the body, therefore all the body have authority in Christ, the owner of the building (church) don't have the authority.
Yes Jesus Christ is the head of His Church and the Body is His Church - singular!. Watch all the video and listen. Let him who has ears hear! The Catholic Church is more than a building. Stating 'we all have authority in Christ' is the reason there are thousands of Protestant churches.
The holyscritures are the last authority, the interpretations of the church is not, the tradition of the apostles is what Paul teach, not the tradition of a Catholics sect.
The catholic or apostolic church put together New Testament for her use. Now Protestant's stole it from the church. They have the stolen manual but not the equipment. 1 Tim 3:15 says Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, bible doesn't claim that it the foundation/pillar. So the pillar and foundation of truth is the church established by Christ 2000 years ago, which is still alive and good. The gates of hell will not prevail against it!
@@albadi1313 the Bible talks about us, we are the church, without us is just an empty building, we the CHRISTIANS were first, the roman Catholic Church stole the holyscritures from the christians, we are Christians just like the first disciples, the roman Catholic sect is. Paganism
@@juliorivera870 First of all if you believe in Holy Trinity and Jesus is the son of GOD, then according to Paul there is no such thing as paganism. For 1600 years no one questioned practices of apostolic churches. All the practices of protestant churches are man-made practices driven by spirt of division (not holy spirt). Matthew 12:30 “whoever does not gather with me scattered “. Protestants are scattered, 50,000+ pieces. I don’t know which club you go to, it probably won’t be there 100 - 200 years later or will be scattered. But, Catholic and apostolic church will be there till end of time and Gates of hell will not prevail against it. . 2 Tim 3: 5 says “as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.” Meaning they have external gimmicks of the faith, but the internal glory is missed - Reject them. For example: 1) We have holly mass => they have Sunday club 2) We have liturgy defined by Apostle James => They have no one knows what?? 3) We have body and blood of Christ => they have bread and juice. I can go on
@@albadi1313 the Protestants were Catholics going against Catholics, iam Christian just like the disciples of Jesus, they were called christians first in Antioch, the roman Catholic sect came later on, christ came to build a foundation of christianity not Catholicism DOGMA, which is false, we are all Christians 40,000 denominations of us, but Catholics are not our Christian Brothers, they are idol worshipers , and saint worshipers, an abomination to God.
@@juliorivera870 Ignatius of Antioch - the Bishop of these first Christians referred to this one true Church as been Catholic in 110AD. Ignatius as I am sure you are aware was a student under John and Peter. St Peter himself appointed Ignatius. 'Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.' but as it says in scripture - For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

Hi. My concern about the Catholic faith is that it seems different than what the Bible teaches. For example, Catholics seem to unanimously agree that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." That is, are there any points that you disagree with, that are not Catholic truths taught by your teachers? Yet, these points of doctrine seem universally accepted by Catholic teachers and lay people alike!
Yet, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved." Is this not a totally different gospel? Moreover, Jesus affirms Paul's words, saying, "Ask and you shall receive" and "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Hence, simply you ask God and the Holy Spirit will transform you; you will be born again, saved and cleansed from your sin.
Paul warns us, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Yet, what will you do with Romans 10.8, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved'? So many Catholics, in answering this, blatantly contradict Paul! Some say that baptism is the same as 'calling on the Lord.' Others have said that they will be 'temporarily' saved. I hope that you will not contradict Paul!
I hope that you will know Christ! As it is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

that’s sad i read all these protestants comments who don’t like the fact that their church is the cause of a revolt against the only holly apostolic church christ founded they want to defend their church and give reasoning as to how their church is the one and only church but the truth hurts it’s like eating your veggies it’s not always the easiest thing to do but it’s the best for you they may feel the holy catholic christian church(catholic is the greek word for universal, translation: catholic christian -universal christian) is wrong that martin luther reformed the christian faith but the church was made by Jesus it is an extension of Jesus to say the church needed reformation is to say God made a mistake obviously that’s impossible Luther thought himself greater than God in creating his church to follow any church not catholic is to follow a doctrine established by a man who had psychological issues. yes i understand you want to believe your church is different you’re saved by grace, or by faith alone but do your research the truth is so easy to attain the lord said following him is not easy stay with your church of christ church on the way or any other of the other churches following a false doctrine or come home where we will love you and welcome you home Peace of the Lord be with you
Hi. My concern about the Catholic faith is that it seems different than what the Bible teaches. For example, Catholics seem to unanimously agree that, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord, is baptized Catholic, and partakes of Catholic communion MIGHT be saved." That is, are there any points that you disagree with, that are not Catholic truths taught by your teachers? Yet, these points of doctrine seem universally accepted by Catholic teachers and lay people alike!
Yet, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved." Is this not a totally different gospel? Moreover, Jesus affirms Paul's words, saying, "Ask and you shall receive" and "My Father will give the Holy Spirit to whoever asks of Him." Hence, simply you ask God and the Holy Spirit will transform you; you will be born again, saved and cleansed from your sin.
Paul warns us, "Whoever preaches a different gospel, let him be accursed." Yet, what will you do with Romans 10.8, "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord SHALL be saved'? So many Catholics, in answering this, blatantly contradict Paul! Some say that baptism is the same as 'calling on the Lord.' Others have said that they will be 'temporarily' saved. I hope that you will not contradict Paul!
I hope that you will know Christ! As it is written, "This is eternal life, that you know God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Thank you Allison

I have a question. There was a mention of burning incense to the bronze
serpent. And it was a sign of idolatry. How can we respond to
non-Catholics who entering one of the parishes of the Catholic Church
can sometimes see the incense sticks burning in front of an icon of a
saint (Virgin Mary, for example). They can also point to it and say
"See, you are committing idolatry by burning incense to someone who's
not God".
It's because in that context burning incense meant worship. We, in the other hands, don't intend worship Mary or some saint, but just venerate them and worship God through them
I hope I may help you.

@@kenshiloh no, I'm so sorry, what you have described is not correct. I don't know who you are, or what religion you practice, or what you believe, but I see your name in all sorts of comments from all different kinds of videos.
You seem to always ask the same questions. I would have a concern about if you are truly seeking the truth and have sincere questions that you want the answers for, or , are you an anti catholic who constantly puts out ridiculous questions and who doesn't care for authentic answers, but you just want to cause confusion and division amongst Catholics. If you truly want the truth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, listen to other catholic apologists for the best answers. But, I can tell you this, nothing,
NOTHING, in the Catholic Church goes against the Bible. It has been proven and shown, over and over again.
@@kenshiloh when Paul says, "whomever teaches a different gospel...."
Paul is Catholic. The first Church, the only Church, the Church founded by Jesus Christ, Himself, was and is Catholic. So, if you are outside of the Catholic Church, you are the one following a "different " Gospel.
@@kenshiloh The Bible says, .....to be saved,....
You must believe, obey, have faith, do good works, persevere, call upon the name of the Lord, repent of your sins and be baptized, eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and about another dozen things are listed in the Bible as to what is needed to be saved. As Catholics, we adhere to all of them, in Accordance with the New Testament and the New Covenant in Jesus Christ.

There are MANY interpretations, but there's only ONE TRUTH....The inspired Word of God and He is the authority over all the Word that He spoke..the BIBLE. Read Revelation Chapters 21 and 22
Long intro!
You state at 1:25:26 “Anglicans are not valid because they changed the words of ordination.” What Christ left as a sacramental sign, noone can change. Taking Baptism as an example, Christ himself gave us the words of baptism. If one were to change those words, it would render the sacrament invalid.
Decrees Of ecumenical Councils solemnly approved by the Pope are infallible. The words of the consecration of the Bread and Wine were solemnly (infallibly) decreed at Council of Florence in 1441. The Novus Ordo “catholic” “mass” uses a faulty consecration. It is therefore invalid. Furthermore, the words of ordination were changed by 2nd Vatican Council in the 1960’s. Those too were solemnly declared at Florence.
Therefore, the same charge you level (correctly) against The Anglican church for having invalid Holy Orders and a broken line of Apostolic Succession also applies to the post Vatican 2 “catholic” church. There are still two valid lines of Bishops left: the Thuc line and the Lefevbre line. Only the Tridentine Mass is valid. I suggest you seek out a valid Catholic priest. Study your faith. Ask me for specifics...anyone...and I would be happy to share some resources.

@@kenshiloh Reply to Ken Shiloh
You ask, “Are there any points that you disagree with that are not Catholic truths taught by your teachers?” What does that even mean?
Anyone can learn what the Catholic Church teaches. Her teaching exists in Her magisterium. If you read “Decrees of Ecumenical Councils,” by Norman Tanner, S.J.; Sources of Catholic Dogma by Denzinger and study all the Church’s Councils through the ages, you would have a very good understanding of Church teaching. The Catholic Church is my teacher.
You are all over the place in your question. Protestants like to pick and choose a passage here or there and forget everything else. You fixate on one passage and don’t integrate the whole. “Whoever calls upon the lord shall be saved.” What about Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved?” So all you have to do is be baptized and believe and you can divorce, fornicate, commit murder, get drunk and be a heroin addict and you’ll be saved, right?
That’s why Christ left us a Church, not a book. The Catholic Church was fully functional in the first century. She had Her hierarchy from the Pope to Her Bishops, Priests and faithful. Unlike all previous churches, anyone from any nation could be Catholic. The Greeks used their word Katholikos which means universal to describe this Church. Anyone could join. The Church was called Katholikos, or Catholic as we say, in the first century. This was the Church begun by Christ, the Catholic Church.
Did anyone save their souls in the first three centuries? If they did, they did so without a Bible. The Canon of the Bible wasn’t settled until 325 A.D. There are over 600 gospel accounts that we know of in existence. The Catholic Church chose four in 325 A.D. as inspired at the Council Of Nicaea.
Books didn’t exist until 1450 when Gutenberg invented the printing press. Books simply didn’t exist. Nobody had a Bible. There were entire dioceses without a Bible. The Canterbury tales were written in the 14th century. One of the stories was about these pilgrims who were traveling to Canterbury because the cathedral had a…wait for it…Bible and they were going to sit in the pews after the sacrament was removed and listen to people read from the Bible.
Are you following my point? For all practical purposes the Bible didn’t exist until about 1500. So how did anyone save their souls without a Bible? (The Catholic Church, that’s how.). Now think about this: the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church chose its contents; the Catholic monastic system preserved it through painstaking hand reproduction for 1500 years and the Catholic Church was its sole expounder. Then 15 hundred and 17 years after the birth of Christ, Martin Luther comes along and says the church had it all wrong for 1500 years? That’s laughable! Only an idiot would fall for the lies of protestantism.
I don’t have to prove anything: you do. There is so much about protestantism that you can’t reconcile with the Bible. How about Matt 16:18? Remember Christ renamed Simon Bar Jonah and called him Kephas? Where did the wise man build his house? In the sand? No, he built it on the rock. Get it? That was an allusion of things to come. Then in Matt 16:18, we see the following,
“And Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? [14] But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
[16] Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. [18] And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
Gates of Hell means heresy or false teaching. So my Bible friend, you have a conundrum: either protestantism is right and the gates of hell did prevail, as Luther said, against the Catholic Church, making Christ a liar and the Bible untrue….or…the Bible is correct and the gates of hell will never prevail against Christ’s Church which is the Catholic Church,in which case you are in a false religion and going to Hell. The Catholic Church has infallible taught only one doctrine more than once. Every doctrine She has taught, She has taught only once…except for one, which She has taught not twice but three times. And that is the doctrine of extra ecclesium nulla salus: outside the Church nothing is saved.
@@jeffreylonigro1382 this is his copy and paste comment. He's posted this same thing several times. Doesn't seem like he is actually seeking knowledge, but only criticism, falsely by the way
The building (church) was not first. According to the book of acts 11:20 to 26 many people gather together and convert to Christ, this was the body of Christ without a building, the building ( church) in Jerusalem heard that this was the first gentile church of Christ in Antioch where early christianity ( not Catholics) was form, why don't you teach this? It is God's word!
Another misread of the text... let me break it down for you.
ACTS 11:22 clearly states "The Church in Jerusalem".
ACTS 11:26 only states that "it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians."
@@rpalmatres5898 but not a catholicism dogma church, this came 300 years later, and is not the true christian church, that's why I'm a christian without a title of division, the Catholic sect cause many divisions, the Catholics then we're protestants, not me I never was catholic, my parents were christians , only Catholics are protestant
The true church is christianity not sects, like Catholics , baptis, Pentecost, ECT....

@@rpalmatres5898 who told you that lie, the diciples were inspired by the holyspirit, Paul was inspired by Jesus himself, the holyscritures were written in Greek, all the diciples were Christians not Catholics, we still have copies of the old Greek TEXTUS RECEPTUS that you need to study, the old testament judism guides you to christianity, anything else is. A CURSE, if you believe in the old testament you will find Christ throughout the Hebrew scripture.
@@rpalmatres5898 I have been a Christian for 20yrs during this 20 yrs my mind sometimes doubt, but last year I pray to the Lord in my backyard, I said to Jesus: Lord I need to know the truth, can I take a picture of you, the next day in Jan 2019 his face appeared in the clouds I got my cell and took 2 pics of Jesus, in the pic you could see the nail print on his right hand, I now have no doubt at all that the new testament is truth, of course this is a personal experience, only to the people that believe, Jesus will manifest himself to them, I don't need to make up stories to convince anyone that will be a sin against my soul, all I could say to people is I have 100% faith no doubt about it, I have evidence of the truth. God bless you.
Peter is not the rock, Jesus was talking about himself. Therefore if Peter is the rock, then Jesus is not the foundation of the Catholic Church, and this will make christ foundation of the Christian Church.
Julio, Why did Simon change his name to Peter?
@@rpalmatres5898 because we all must be like Peter we are living stones
@@juliorivera870 I do certainly disagree with your particular interpretation, would you be so kind, please elaborate on how we should be like Peter, a living stone.
@@rpalmatres5898 if you really don't know, I will explain it to you,. Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian Church, we are the stones ( blocks). Each of us will stack up to make the living stones church, the disciples are the first stones, we are the rest of the stones, and Christ is also the corner Stone,this means that the disciple Peter, is one of the first stones on top of Christ the rock foundation
@@juliorivera870 That seems like a reasonable contemporary analogy but your interpretation clearly does not reference the complete context of how the disciples would have understood what Jesus was saying. Peter is the Rock that Jesus is building his church upon. When read in full context, it is clear "the church" belongs to Jesus alone even though Peter is the rock. Jesus also goes a step further to emphasize this by giving Peter the keys which mean authority, but at the same time also mean Peter is but a servant of the lord. For Jesus is the one true King and foundation.
15 Thus says the Lord God of hosts, “Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him: 16 What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock? 17 Behold, the Lord will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you, 18 and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master’s house. 19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station. 20 In that day I will call my servant Eli′akim the son of Hilki′ah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father’s house. 24 And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father’s house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons. 25 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 22:15-25)
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Mathew 16:18-19)
1timo 3:15 we the people are the church, not the building, the building is called the house of God, but our bodies is the temple of Christ the true church, and Christ is the head, of the people, the pastor or the priest are part of the body, therefore all the body have authority in Christ, the owner of the building (church) don't have the authority.
Julio that's not what Tim 3:15 says at all.
Yes Jesus Christ is the head of His Church and the Body is His Church - singular!. Watch all the video and listen. Let him who has ears hear! The Catholic Church is more than a building. Stating 'we all have authority in Christ' is the reason there are thousands of Protestant churches.
What translation is this guy reading from😢😮???
The holyscritures are the last authority, the interpretations of the church is not, the tradition of the apostles is what Paul teach, not the tradition of a Catholics sect.
The catholic or apostolic church put together New Testament for her use. Now Protestant's stole it from the church. They have the stolen manual but not the equipment. 1 Tim 3:15 says Church is the pillar and foundation of truth, bible doesn't claim that it the foundation/pillar. So the pillar and foundation of truth is the church established by Christ 2000 years ago, which is still alive and good. The gates of hell will not prevail against it!
@@albadi1313 the Bible talks about us, we are the church, without us is just an empty building, we the CHRISTIANS were first, the roman Catholic Church stole the holyscritures from the christians, we are Christians just like the first disciples, the roman Catholic sect is. Paganism
@@juliorivera870 First of all if you believe in Holy Trinity and Jesus is the son of GOD, then according to Paul there is no such thing as paganism. For 1600 years no one questioned practices of apostolic churches. All the practices of protestant churches are man-made practices driven by spirt of division (not holy spirt). Matthew 12:30 “whoever does not gather with me scattered “. Protestants are scattered, 50,000+ pieces. I don’t know which club you go to, it probably won’t be there 100 - 200 years later or will be scattered. But, Catholic and apostolic church will be there till end of time and Gates of hell will not prevail against it.
. 2 Tim 3: 5 says “as they make a pretense of religion but deny its power. Reject them.” Meaning they have external gimmicks of the faith, but the internal glory is missed - Reject them. For example:
1) We have holly mass => they have Sunday club
2) We have liturgy defined by Apostle James => They have no one knows what??
3) We have body and blood of Christ => they have bread and juice.
I can go on
@@albadi1313 the Protestants were Catholics going against Catholics, iam Christian just like the disciples of Jesus, they were called christians first in Antioch, the roman Catholic sect came later on, christ came to build a foundation of christianity not Catholicism DOGMA, which is false, we are all Christians 40,000 denominations of us, but Catholics are not our Christian Brothers, they are idol worshipers , and saint worshipers, an abomination to God.
@@juliorivera870 Ignatius of Antioch - the Bishop of these first Christians referred to this one true Church as been Catholic in 110AD.
