Amen! May it be reformed, abandon their idolatry, false papal system, and false view of justification and truly live by Christ's power alone through grace alone, by faith alone, according to scripture alone and for the glory of God alone!
Catholics will NOT go to Hell since we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And it is HISTORICAL truth that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church upon Saint Peter the Rock in 33 AD.
council of trent "If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law, without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema." "If anyone says that without the predisposing inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without His help, man can believe, hope, love or be repentant as he ought, so that the grace of justification may be bestowed upon Him, let him be anathema." Hence the Catholic Church never implied that salvation can achieved by human wit or power without Holy Ghost, and that this passage of the trent or catechism is done to even COUNTER an existing protestant doctrine🤢
Catholism a sun worship whom now 90% protestant churches adopted thier Sunday sun worship tradition a abomination to God. That's #1 #2 they pray to dead people from Mary to the disciples all who died are not I'm heaven nor hell as u guys understand hell but are in thier graves. Until christ raises us on the last day not a day sooner. God took 3 people moses Elijah and Enoch everyone else is dead waiting. They call themselves holy and father claim to forgive sin as they change and remove the commandments christ said to obey. Works is animal sacrifice tithe works is circumcision this is what it means when it says faith without works
I too left the Catholic system 24 years ago. As soon as I read the Bible and discovered all the lies, I left the church. I thought it would be that easy for my Catholic family and friends to leave when I showed them the lies, but you are correct...the brainwashing/ indoctrination is deep rooted. I'm terrified for my unsaved loved ones. I thank God every day that He opened my eyes. I pray for the salvation of all unbelievers daily. Blessings to you and yours!
To me, every Roman Catholic that comes out of the Roman Catholic church and believes in Christ alone is a walking talking miracle. Why? Because I've spent the better part of 25 years studying everything "Catholic" and I understand the indoctrination (cradle to grave) and the unbelievable consequences (disowning and disinheriting and eternal damnation) suffered from friends, family, and the entire church when one gets saved and comes out. My heart goes out to you and my sincere prayers go up for you till Christ returns. You are a walking miracle of God.
A big thing for me in why Catholicism must be the truth is the saints including the modern ones like Padre Pio, look into him and ask with your heart is this guy of Christ or the devil?
Did you know that anyone who is "born-again" is a saint. Search the New Testament. You'll see that Paul greets born-again believers as saints. The Catholic church loves making certain people more important than others like Mary, the Pope, priests, cardinals, bishops, angels, Catholic "saints", etc. Mary was definitely blessed for giving birth to the Savior of the world, but she was no more special in God's eyes than you or I. God does not have favorites. We are all the same in His eyes. Please start reading the Bible daily and ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand God's teachings...not man's. The catechism was written by man, inspired by Satan because of all the lies found in it. The holy Word of God, the Bible, was written by man but inspired by the Holy Spirit. Who's Word would you rather read?
Has nothing to do with God picking favorites if you read into any of the saints lives and how they lived they lived as close to what Jesus did in his life as possible meaning live in a life of almost little to no sin and that is very hard to do that's why these people get recognized. Plus devil absolutely hates the Virgin Mary don't ask me why why don't you ask him
Paul called the believers, "Saints". If what Roman Catholicism teaches is true, then there were no Saints until the Roman Catholic church began to "canonize" them. Ridiculous on its face. Padre Pio, as pious as is claimed of him, was a papist, NOT a Christian. His "works" will avail him nothing. Neither will the sacraments. Neither will his canonization. Neither will the sacrifice of the mass. Only those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb will be saved. Only those who trust in the sacrifice that Christ made of himself will be saved. Eating a "consecrated wafer", no matter how reverently, will avail you nothing. Because Jesus, after he had given up the ghost, "caused all sacrifices and oblations to cease" (Dan 9:24-27). God has not received a single sacrifice from ANYBODY since His son was sacrificed on the cross. All your masses are so many abominations before the Lord. They are a stench in His nostrils. Those who participate in any sacrifice eats and drinks damnation to himself, thereby denying the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time.
i would advise you to check out the channels of catholic answers, the counsel of trend, the catholic brothers, reason & theology, how to be Christian. they do a great job debunking protestant theology. check out especially the last one i mentioned if you only have time for one. catholic answers are good too for answering any question you may have. this guy is spreading misinformation about the catholic faith. if you want know what we actually believe, pick up the bible and catechism of the catholic church or check out the channels i listed.
If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world." Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism." "Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer. It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven. Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17) What I must do to be saved: *I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood). * I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21 * I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others. * I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others. * I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47. * I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23 * I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7. * I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30. * I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them. *I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14 *I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13. And ... ? What else must I do? Catechism #432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."🌹
Christ said not to judge so that you will not be judged because with the same measure that you judge you will be judged. I, you, remain silent, it will not be that the one who is condemned is you
Very helpful in witnessing to Catholics. It's crazy how our "Christianese" sounds just like the Catholic's language. But that's where it can get complicated. We must define our terms! Thank you, Pastor!
why would you want to witness to Catholics? wouldn't it be better for your salvation if a catholic witnesses to you? he made a crucial mistake. we do be believe in sola gratia. the only solas we do not affirn are sola Scriptura and sola fide.
@@crobeastness That's the main problem with what Catholicism doesn't affirm. It is by faith (alone) and by grace (alone) in which a believer is justified by God, apart from works. Scripture alone is what believers are to submit to because it is sufficient and it holds what is absolutely necessary for the believer to be reconciled to God and to know how to be instructed in life and in church. Nothing else is necessary. Anything else that's called in next to Scripture, needs to be examined with Scripture.
@@ReformedTradesman faith alone is for initial justification aka why we baptize infants. No works are required for initial justification. If you are using your own emotions or intellect for faith, you are using works. When I went from atheism to Catholicism, i had to do a lot of work studying Church history and weighing the options aka working. then you have to deal with James 2 that says "faith without works is dead" after that initial justification. Sola scriptura makes even less sense. Well actually it depends what you mean. I've heard definitions of Sola scriptura that i agree with because what they actually mean is prima scriptura. If you mean that scripture is the only infallible word of God, then no that's not true. If that were true illiterate people would not be welcomed into heaven. When the founding fathers of America wrote the constitution, did they send a copy to every household and say "here fend for yourself based on your own interpretation of this text"? No, they provided a court whose job it is is to interpret for the citizens of the US aka the Magisterium, who btw precede the new testament. You have to ask who wrote the new testament? What church were they part of? Where is this church today? Why would I believe in an invisible church when no one before the 19th century did? How do I know the canon of the bible if scripture itself does not tell me that? Why would I believe the Bible is the only infallible source when the bible doesn't even say that? So you see there are a lot of unanswered questions the protestant has to ask about these things where the catholic doesn't. And just to be clear, we believe the Magisterium and sacred tradition, while infallible, do not supersede the infallibility of the bible.
The Devil believes in God and trembles with fear. "Faith" is more than believing in God because the Devil also believes. We are saved by grace (the unmerited favor of God) through faith in the propitiatory sacrifice that Jesus made for us. Our sins are washed away by his blood that he shed for us on the cross. If we believe and accept as propitiatory his sacrifice for us and believe that God raised him from the dead, we shall live. In Adam, all died. In the Second Adam (Jesus), all are made alive forevermore. Believing in God alone lacks the propitiatory sacrifice of the Lamb that God provided for our redemption. Jesus said: "You believe in God, believe also in me." Most pertinent to Roman Catholics is this: "Ye are saved by grace through faith, and not of yourselves, it is a gift from God, NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST." Your Roman Catholic "sacraments" will avail you nothing with God. "Come OUT of her, my people, that ye partake not of her sins, and that ye receive not also of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath REMEMBERED (not forgiven) her iniquities." The "her" is the Roman Catholic church described in living color in Revelation 17.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO That “her” which you refer to is The Roman Empire. If you study Revelation and the history of Christianity in the first century, you’ll find this to be obvious.
@@johnsteila411 Daniel prophesied that there would be only 4 Gentile empires before Christ's return. They are: 1) Babylon, 2) Medo-Persia, 3) Greece, and finally 4) Rome. Has Christ returned? Clearly, NO! So it can ONLY be concluded that God makes NO DISTINCTION between Caesarean (pagan) Rome and Papal Rome. It is still the Roman Empire by God's reckoning and His reckoning is the ONLY one that counts. And Rome will continue to rule the world until Christ's literal, visible return when He will destroy Rome with the brightness of His coming and by the spirit of His mouth. And if you doubt that the Papacy considers itself the continuation of the Caesars, then simply read the quote from Pope Pius IX in his "Discoursi" where he says of himself, "The Caesar that addresses you...". Look it up for yourself. And he's not the only pope that described himself as "Caesar" when speaking of his "temporal" (king of kings) powers. And the Bible confirms this when it says of the Papacy, "he rules over the kings of the earth". Just like Nebuchadnezzar did! Gibbon's lied. Rome never died. It just changed its clothes. The Pope is Caesar. The Senate is the College of Cardinals. Even the scarlet and purple is the same. And they still worship Sol Invictus! Nothing at all has changed and it is a mystery that the world seems not to know. Papal Rome killed far more Christians than did Caesarean Rome! Read Foxe's Book of Martyrs. There's a history lesson for you!
@@johnsteila411 God makes no distinction between Caesarean Rome and Papal Rome. Daniel prophesied there would be 4 Gentile empires before Christ's return. 1)Babylon 2)Medo-Persia 3)Greece and 4)Rome.

Many Popes have openly claimed the title "Caesar" in describing their temporal (king of kings) powers, Pope Pius IX being only one of them. If God makes no distinction between the Caesars and the Popes; and the Popes make no distinction either, then it is senseless to continue to pretend that there is a difference. Don't you think? Rome rules over the kings of the earth until Christ returns and destroys the Papal Caesar with the brightness of his coming and by the spirit of his mouth. And if you think the Caesars killed more Christians than did the Popes, then read Foxe's Book of Martyrs. There's a history lesson for ya.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO I don’t need to hear about your perverted interpretation of history but thanks. When did God tell you His distinctions between Caesarean and Papal Rome?..
The only time the Bible says "sola fide" is when it says "non sola fide." So a false doctrine invented by Luther can't be the gospel. "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." - James 2:24 (ESV)
@@kylemckinney_22 Correct, as Hebrews chapter 11 so clearly teaches. That further explains why James says we are justified by that physical manifestation of faith, and not just by the internal faith alone.
@@IAmisMaster this is wrong James was talking about faith as in belief alone just saying he exists but you must believe in the death, burial and resurrection to be saved
They shall have ears but not hear. Ezekiel 12:2 and romans 11:8. As a Catholic convert, it’s strange to hear these arguments now and I pray that the Lord God Almighty opens your eyes and ears to the truth. It’s much simpler than the gentlemen here is leading you to believe, when you examine the Catholic Churches teachings they’re very simple and align very well with Holy Scripture. Catholics don’t reject the gospel, the mass is a sending to take the good news out to the world. They process the gospel before every mass and they stand in reverence to acclaim it as it’s read EVERY day in church. How many other churches can claim that? The reverence for the Word in truth and flesh is plain for the eye to see but you need to want to see it. At the very least, I implore you to ask the Holy Spirit to show you truth and be open to the answer. God bless you brothers and sisters in Christ, we pray for you and we love you. And you are always welcome to a mass to see it yourself (don’t feel too self conscious like I did, sit at the back somewhere and copy when everyone else stands and sits, no one is watching you they’re all there to worship God). God bless.
@@AltKuyperian because he would know that Jesus established the Catholic Church. That it's been around since Pentecost. The bible shows this along with secular historical evidence.
You obviously don’t understand what The Gospel means, according to The Bible. Christ teaches (as The Church does), that we are saved by faith and works.
SO WHO WERE THESE "BROTHERS OF JESUS?" A. While James and Joses are mentioned as Jesus's brothers in Matthew 13:55, it is made clear in Mathew 27:56 and Mark 15:40 that their mother was another Mary. Matthew 27:56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons. This "other Mary" at the Cross, is revealed in John 19:25 to be the wife of Cleophas. Mary of Cleophas is therefore revealed as the mother of two of Jesus's so-called "brothers", James and Joses. B. In John 19:25, the original Greek states. "But by he cross of Jesus were the Mother of Him AND the sister of the Mother of Him, Mary the wife of Cleopas AND Mary the Magdalene." The precise positioning of the ANDs in the original Greek makes it clear that Mary the Wife of Cleopas, is also referred to as the Virgin Mary's sister. Since we know no-one has two daughters and calls them BOTH Mary, we know that sister here does not mean sister. The same would apply to "brother" with reference to Jesus. C. In the introduction to the Book of Jude, Jude introduces himself as: Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. If Jude/Judas were truly the brother of Jesus, why wouldn't he say so? He identifies himself in his letter as brother of James, but significantly not as a brother of Jesus, only as a servant. To have identified himself as Jesus's blood brother would have added enormous weight to his epistle, but Jude doesn't so identify himself here. We know the reason, because James and Joseph have already been revealed to be sons of the other Mary in Matthew 27 and Mark 15. Judas then must also be a son of this other Mary. Mary wife of Cleophas. So another of Jesus's so-called "brothers" is eliminated. D. James "Brother of Jesus" is referred to as one of the APOSTLES by Paul in Galatians 1:19. . We know from Matthew 10:2-4 that neither of the Apostles named James was actually a Son of Mary. So James, "brother of Jesus" cannot be a Son of Mary. He is actually James, Son of Alphaeus (thought to be another form of Cleophas)! James is a kinsman of Jesus, but not a sibling. A few more points: • In Luke 2:41-51, the twelve-year-old Jesus goes missing on a trip to Jerusalem, and is only found three days later in the temple. Yet in all this time no mention at all is made of any other children, even though the entire family made the journey together. If all the people mentioned in Matthew were actually surviving children of Mary, she would have had at least seven children younger than Jesus to look after! In fact both Mary and Joseph race back to Jerusalem to find him, through country filled with bandits, something they could not have done if there had been babies and other young children in need of care! • The people of Nazareth refer to Jesus as "the son of Mary" (Mark 6:3), not as "a son of Mary" Finally, if James and Joseph, Simon and Jude, were children of Mary, and if Jesus had even more brothers and sisters, why did Jesus commit His Mother to the care of St. John at His death? Mk 6:3 says, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses, and Judas and Simon, and are not His sisters here with us?" We need to realize a few things here about these "brothers and sisters": #1, there was no word for cousin, or for nephew or niece, or for aunt or uncle in ancient Hebrew or Aramaic - the words that the Jews used in all those instances were "brother" or "sister". An example of this can be seen in Gen 14:14, where Lot, who was Abraham's nephew, is called his brother. Another point to consider. If Jesus had had any brothers, if Mary had had any other sons, would the last thing that Jesus did on earth be to grievously offend his surviving brothers? In Jn 19:26-27, right before Jesus dies, it says that Jesus entrusted the care of His mother to the beloved disciple, John. If Mary had had any other sons, it would have been an incredible slap in the face to them that the Apostle John was entrusted with the care of their mother! Also, we see from Mt. 27:55-56, that the James and Joses mentioned in Mark 6 as the "brothers" of Jesus, are actually the sons of another Mary. And, one other passage to consider is Acts 1:14-15, "[The Apostles] with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with His brothers...the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty." A company of 120 persons composed of the Apostles, Mary, the women, and the "brothers" of Jesus. Let's see there were 11 Apostles at the time. Jesus' mother makes 12. The women, probably the same three women mentioned in Matthew 27, but let's say it was maybe a dozen or two, just for argument's sake. So that puts us up to 30 or 40 or so. So that leaves the number of Jesus' brothers at about 80 or 90! Do you think Mary had 80 or 90 children? She would have been in perpetual labor! No, Scripture does not contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church about the "brothers" of Jesus, when Scripture is properly interpreted in context. The Bible clearly says that Jesus had brothers and sisters, but the Catholic Church teaches that Mary was a perpetual virgin...how can you reconcile those seemingly different positions?Mk 6:3 says, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses, and Judas and Simon, and are not His sisters here with us?"

Whenever you hear black people address themselves as? "brother" nowadays does it mean the people are literally siblings. You are making observations on a culture you know nothing about.😆
Your spreading false teachings and leading people a stray. The Catholic church formed the Bible and chose what books would be in there. Peter started the Catholic church, Jesus told him to do that too. So if anyone is going to hell it's someone that starts their own church because they can't get along.
A relationship between God and oneself is strictly private and confidential. Only God has the authority to decide who will enter Heaven not ourselves. The problem with some people is they will target vulnerable people in the community. This happend to my friend, these so called born again Christains kept turning up at my friends house and arranging Bible meetings with out asking permission first. They would turn up all evenings of the week with absolutely no regards for my friends parental duties and that her kids needed their routine and all on a school night. They also tried to force my friend to attend church, in the end my friends care co ordinator had to put a safe guarding order to protect my friend and in no certain terms were they to harass my friend. Thankfully this abuse was stopped in time.
ummm thefgospel came from the catholic church....not the protestant church and the true gospel includes Mary. Before you pronounce the judgement that someone else is "going to hell" you might want to go back and read Matt 7L2, whuich warns you that the same judgement you use to judge others with, will be used to judge you. Here's more: JUDGING OTHERS: ROMANS 2 God’s Righteous Judgment 2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
I agree. I was baptised Catholic as an infant. However, as I grew I was not willing to accept things and teachings at face value. I began to do my own research and much of my research pained me and I wanted to leave the Roman Catholic Church. However, there is pain even in the protestant Church and although I still go for mass and because I disagree with parts of the mass, instead of letting me upset me, I just pray my own prayers. Like for example, parts of the I CONFESS. I then recite Psalm 51 silently
Keep looking to Christ brothers and trust nothing but what he's done your behalf! Reform where you can! Teach where you can but cling to the one who died for you! Praying for you both!
You must become perfect as you're father is perfect. most Christians do not die in a perfect State. For all of the Christians who die in a imperfect state either go to hell or through a purgation process before they can reach the paradise state. If it turns out that the universal reconciliation of all belief turns out to be true then that means that everyone who dies or ends up in the new heavens and new earth in an imperfect state must be purged and purified first an order to reach a perfect State.✝️☦️💖🙌🏽🕯️🕯️🕯️❤️🔥C.S.Lewis believed that there is a need for purgation after one dies.
Because a true Protestant believes the Gospel as it is written and puts his full faith and trust in the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time. Jesus alone is the rock and foundation of the church, and we are all brethren. We are saved by grace (the unmerited favor of God) alone, through faith (the God-given gift of faith to believe and trust in the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ) alone, as taught in the scriptures alone, and to God ONLY be the glory. AND, we forever PROTEST the Antichrist Papacy and his Synagogue of Satan called, Roman Catholicism! We name and denounce by name every false doctrine of Rome and every pagan tradition of Rome and all her lying apparitions and false prophesies and all of her false miracles and all of her lying wonders. We especially name and condemn as Antichrist every pope from the first to the last and strive with all our hearts to show Catholics the error of their supposed "faith". And we do it at GREAT personal expense and pain and suffering and persecution and torture and mutilation and flames and death. The bible speaks of us. It says, "and they loved not their lives, even unto death." Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world." A true Protestant belongs to Christ's Kingdom. It's not of this world. The Pope's kingdom is strictly of this world. And global supremacy is his end. "For what shall it prosper a man (the man of sin) if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul?" That is the destiny for the Papacy and all his minions. Will it be yours too?
@@vaticanjesuitNWO Why don’t you accept the words of Christ in Matt 16:18? P.S. “The synagogue of Satan” is a reference to a group of Jews. I don’t know how that could be more obvious. Rev 3:9, why are you misinterpreting The Bible?
@@johnsteila411 I accept every single word of Matt 16:18 exactly the way it was written and you already know how you and I differ and I don't even have to tell you. But I will anyway. Jesus is the rock and foundation of the church and we are all brethren. There is no other foundation of Christ's church than Christ himself. Peter acknowledged that Jesus was the son of God. That is the ROCK. On the Synagogue of Satan: Yes indeed, Christ referred to the Jews who denied him. But the temple was soon to be razed to the ground and left to them (the Jews and Jerusalem) desolate. Why? Because Daniel 9:24-27 prophesied that in the midst of the 70th week, Messiah the Prince would cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease! And THAT he indeed did! NO MORE SACRIFICES. None for Jews, none for anybody else. You either accept the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time, or you go without! So God had the temple razed to the ground, not one stone remaining upon another. NO MORE SACRIFICES! So where is the Synagogue of Satan today? Why, it's the sacrificing church of course. And it's the biggest church on the planet. And its Great High Priest is the Papacy, the Antichrist, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the Judas Priest who betrays Christ with a kiss, the beast. And the whole world wonders after the Papal Beast. Need I say more?
@@johnsteila411 I accept every word of it and you very well already know the difference between Catholics and Protestants on that scripture and divine judgment will decide who is correct. As for the Synagogue of Satan. Yes, that phrase was a reference to the priests who made sacrifice on temple mount in Jerusalem. That temple was destroyed utterly in 70 AD. Where is the Synagogue of Satan today? It is that which makes sacrifices. The sacrifice of the mass. Why do you think your priests are called priests? Why do you think they call the mass, "a sacrifice"? Why do they wear the yamuka on their heads precisely as do the Hebrew priests? They are one and the same. The priests of the Roman Catholic church are literally just the Gentile replacement of the Hebrew priests whose careers were ended in 33 AD. Continuing to make sacrifices after Jesus was sacrificed marks that church as the Synagogue of Satan. And all who participate in the mass are eating and drinking damnation to themselves. Satan loves that the most.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO There’s no need to wait for a meeting with God to understand what Matt 16:18 means, it’s quite clear and easy to understand. Confusion on the subject is only introduced by the stubbornness of men.
Those who don't put there FULL FAITH in JESUS CHRIST for Salvation are DOOMED. If you think you can work your way to heaven even a little bit with your filthy works, you will hear the words DEPART FROM ME at judgement.
Sorry, pastor, the Holy Catholic Church disagrees with your erroneous, self-righteous interpretation of the gospel. We have what the Lord Jesus gave the Apostles - you don’t. You lean on the made-up solas of Luther. How unfortunate.
You said we are saved by grace through faith but Scripture says God saves us (or we are saved by grace) through faith (Eph. 2:8) AND through sanctification (2 Thes. 2:13). Did the Reformers preach the true Gospel? Questions for you: 1. According to the Reformers justification is instantaneous and is by faith alone (sola fide in Latin). In New Testament the phrase "justified by faith" appears four times: Rom. 3:28, 5:1, Gal 2:16, 3;24. In Greek the one in Rom. 3:28is in passive present tense, while the rest are in passive aorist tense. Both present and aorist tense do NOT indicate a completed justification by faith or do NOT support faith alone justification. If Scripture teaches faith-alone justification, then Paul would write those phrases in passive perfect tense. Greek perfect tense indicates the action described by the verb was completed in the past with continuing result to the present. In Gal 2:16 and 3:24 that phrase even appears in subjunctive mood, which indicates expectation - some translation say "might be justified by faith" to incorporate that mood. 2. According to the Reformers through faith alone justification the righteousness of Christ is imputed or counted on us while our sins (including future ones) are imputed or counted on Christ who bore them on the cross - the so-called double imputation. Luther expressed this concept as: "His [Christ] righteousness is yours, your sin is His" (Luther: Lectures on Galatians, chapter 1-4, English translation from Luther's Works, Vol. 26, page 233). But double imputation is denied in Scripture when it says in Ezekiel 18:20: "the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself." If our sins are imputed on Christ, then there is no need of purgatory, and this is the main reason why Protestants reject purgatory. Scriptural distinction between deadly (mortal) and non-deadly sins (1 John 5:16-17) becomes meaningless as both can be imputed or counted on Christ. 3. According to the Reformers faith alone justification does NOT make us righteous, but we are counted as righteous based on alien/external righteousness of Christ imputed on us and at the same time we remain unrighteous or sinner. Luther wrote: "Thus a Christian man is righteous and a sinner at the same time, holy and profane, an enemy of God and a child of God." (ibid, page 232) But Scripture denies that we can be both righteous and sinner at the same time when it says in Ezekiel 33:12: "the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins". 1 John 3:8 says: "he who sins is of the devil" and Heb 10:26-27 says: "For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries". 4. According to the Reformers, through faith alone justification we are legally declared as righteous while we remain sinners and Christ is legally declared sinner while he remains sinless. We will be judged when we die (Heb. 9:27). Followers of the Reformers believe that God would declare them to be righteous, while they are not, and therefore He will let them enter heaven. Since Christ is legally a sinner, He is legally punished for our sins. Reformed tradition articulates this into penal substitution - God directs His anger and wrath to Christ, because in the eyes of God Christ is legally a sinner as our sins are imputed or counted on Him. We have a serious problem here. Proverbs 17:15 says; "He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord. The teaching of the Reformers make God do what Scripture refers as abomination! It is no difference with this case: suppose the court declared that Harvey Weinstein not guilty (that made him walk free), because his crimes were counted on other person, who then must spend years in jail, instead of him. That is injustice, isn't it? What Catholics believe In contrast to sola fide: 1. According to Scripture God saves us (or we are saved by grace) through faith (Eph. 2:8) and through sanctification (2 Thes. 2;13). If salvation is a process that includes sanctification, then so is justification. Rom 8:28 says: “And those whom he predestined he [God] also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified”. Sanctification, being also the work of God (1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Thessalonians 2:13), is not mentioned in Romans 8:30. Then it should be part of being justified, as taught by the Catholic Church. In 1 Corinthians 6:11 Paul placed justified after sanctified, indicating that we are justified after being sanctified. 2. According to Scripture we are made righteous through Christ (Rom. 5:19). We cannot become righteous by ourselves. Our righteousness comes from God through Christ and to make us righteous, it is to be infused in us. Our sins are not infused in Christ - no double infusion. Why do we need to be made righteous? Scripture says the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) and it is righteousness that delivers us from death (Prov. 10:2, 11:3). The righteous shall go to eternal life (Mat. 25:46). We are made righteous through faith because faith is counted as righteousness (Rom. 4:2). We are also made righteous through doing what is right (1 John 3:7). Our ability to have faith and to do what is right comes from and is only possible by grace through Christ as apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). 3. When a person has faith in Christ, he is made righteous. All his past sins are washed away through (Sacrament of) Baptism (Acts 2:38), if he has the chance to take it. Scripture distinguished between deadly (mortal) and non-deadly (venial) sins (1 John 5:16-17). According to Scripture we lose our righteousness whenever we commit (mortal) sin (Ezek. 33:12). Our past righteous deeds will be forgotten, or we die in our sin (Ezek. 18:24). Moved and enabled by grace, we repent and are forgiven through Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ in John 20:21-23. Our past (mortal) sins will be forgotten, and we will live (Ezek. 18:21-22). When we die and judged, we will go to heaven if we die in righteous state (without any unrepented mortal sin). If we die with venial sin, then we undergo purgatory to cleanse us. Scripture refers God as like refiner's fire and like fullers' soap (Malachi 3:2). There must be reason why Scripture says so and both have something to do with purifying or cleansing. Zech 13:9 says God will put this third into the fire and refine them as one refines silver and test them as gold is tested. It does not use the word purgatory, but the concept is there. Our salvation depends neither on how many righteous deeds nor on how many (mortal) sins we do. 4. When we die in righteous state and judged, we will be declared righteous because we are indeed (made) righteous. Christ is neither made nor declared sinner. He willingly offered Himself to die for our sins. God did not direct His anger and wrath to Him. No violation to what Prov. 17:15 says.
@@fireflames3639 Propitiation is what one does to please God. While expiation is what one does to mend a broken relation, in this case due to our sins. I do not use the word "propitiation" in my comment. Why don't you write about what I wrote, instead of bringing new issue?
@@justfromcatholic Because you just try to correlate verses in the Old testament to Jesus dying for our sins in the new which just don't correlate. And I am commenting on your comment because at the end you said God did not direct his wrath towards Jesus, yet propitiation means "satisfaction of wrath." So you are dead wrong on what propitiation means. Jesus had to satisfy the wrath of God otherwise God's wrath would still be on us. That is the cup Jesus was talking about when he said "let this cup pass from me..."
@@fireflames3639 If God directed His wrath to innocent Christ then according to Prov. 17:15 He did abomination. Propitiation does not means satisfaction of wrath as you wrote.
@@justfromcatholic Such a false equivalence from prov 17:15. That is talking about one who says that the wicked is doing right and he is righteous in his wickedness and the one who says the righteous is commiting sin and condemning him even though he has committed no sin. It has nothing to do with Jesus willfully commiting himself to the cross to bear our sins and bear God's wrath. SINCE Jesus has done this, THEN God is allowed to justify the wicked through faith apart from works (i.e. alone). God cannot just justify the wicked out of nowhere, once must be there substitute otherwise everyone would be dead in sins. The Roman Catholic view obscures the atonement so much it is crazy.
The Council of Trent declared: “ . . . if they [men] were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just . . He laid down the conditions of salvation thus: "He that believeth and is baptized," said the Son of the Living God, "shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned" (Luke 16:16). Here, then, Our Blessed Lord laid down the two conditions of salvation: Faith and Baptism. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned - or is damned Now quote the Council correctly😁
@@S-dx9go Christ says in Matthew that, like Jonah, he would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days. Acts tells us Christ remained on earth for 40 days before He ascends. So there were 43 days BEFORE Christ went to Heaven. Did the good thief go ahead of the Lord to make sure the lights were on for His arrival? Or, more likely, Paradise that Christ mentions, is Abrahams Boosom. The place where the prisoners Christ preached to in 1st Peter were awaiting the Messiah👏👏
Your viewers might think this is helpful, but what’s even more helpful is studying the catechism of the Catholic Church to learn what Catholics TRULY believe. With all due respect, you have attempted to explain a doctrine without studying the original sources.
I am not Catholic or nor do I belong to a Catholic Church but I adore Catholicism and the catechism! There seems to be a HUGE misunderstanding here. With that being said, i agree! Lol
Mary is needed for salvation in catholicism, that means they follow another gospel. Simple. You don't need to read dozens of hours of useless garbage to understand this.
@@JesusProtectsMary isn’t needed for salvation, but God chooses to begin his ministry through her intersession at the wedding in Cana. She is venerated as the New Eve, the woman who intercedes for the good of mankind, rather than for the destruction of man as Eve did. She is the woman from whom God took his flesh, in her womb, just as all mothers give their own flesh for their children. She is a creature, and the ultimate example to all women of using our influence over the men in our lives for good rather than for evil. She is the ark of the new covenant, the created vessel which contains the word of God, the priesthood, and the law. Within her womb the infinite dwells. God created her as the Archetypal woman. Rejecting her leads to the rejection of all women, femininity, and the role of woman as the home. This is why Protestantism is so confused about what women are.
And Joseph was older than Mary (a LOT older) and had other children by his first wife. "Until" in Greek means up to the point, but not beyond necessarily. 2 Samuel 6:23- “Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.” Saul had children with his wife after she died? edit: the womb of St Mary is closed as the Lord pass thru it. Ezechiel 44:2 And the Eternal says to me: This door will be closed, it will not open, and nobody will pass there; because the Eternal, God of Israel entered by there. It will remain closed. And now the "reformers": Martin Luther God did not derive his divinity from Mary; but it does not follow that it is therefore wrong to say that God was born of Mary, that God is Mary’s Son, and that Mary is God’s mother…She is the true mother of God and bearer of God…Mary suckled God, rocked God to sleep, prepared broth and soup for God, etc. For God and man are one person, one Christ, one Son, one Jesus, not two Christs…just as your son is not two sons…even though he has two natures, body and soul, the body from you, the soul from God alone. (On the Councils and the Church, 1539). It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary's soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God's gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin" (Sermon: "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527). John Calvin "There have been certain STRANGE folk who have wished to suggest from this passage [Matt 1:25 - But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.] that the Virgin Mary had other children than the Son of God, and that Joseph had then dwelt with her later; BUT WHAT FOLLY THIS IS! "For the gospel writer did not wish to record what happened afterwards; he simply wished to make clear Joseph's obedience and to show also that Joseph had been well and truly assured that it was God who had sent his angel to Mary. He had therefore NEVER dwelt with her nor had he shared her company.... "And besides this, our Lord Jesus Christ is called the first-born. This is NOT because there was a second or a third, but because the gospel writer is paying regard to the precedence. Scripture speaks thus of naming the first-born whether or no there was any question of the second. Thus we see the intention of the Holy Spirit. This is why to lend ourselves to FOOLISH SUBTLETIES WOULD BE TO ABUSE HOLY SCRIPTURE...." (Sermon on Matthew 1:22-25, published 1562) Ulrich Zwingli "I esteem immensely the Mother of God, the ever chaste, immaculate Virgin Mary." [E. Stakemeier, De Mariologia et Oecumenismo, K. Balic, ed., (Rome, 1962), 456].😊
The problem is most peoples God is not the God of the Bible. But their religion. If the Bible says one thing and their religion says another they believe their religion. People will spend hours on the internet and tv watching trash. But they can't even spend enough time to open a Bible.
You hit it right on the head there. I just had an argument with a self proclaimed atheist and sometimes Catholic that I'm a religious person. When I tried to explain that my only religion which is pleasing to God the Father--taking care of widows and orphans James 1:27 they couldn't get their head around it. I'm a Christian, but I think people tend to tie in the word religious with Christianity. I see a lot of things in Catholic doctrine that is not Biblical like the doctrine of Purgatory. They shutter when I point out Scripture because they would rather believe their Priest or the Pope rather than the Word of God. Both my parents are devout Catholics. They attend service every morning, they are Eucarhistic Ministers, say their Rosary a few times a day and they been doing this for the last 40 years or so. Its almost as if they are trying to earn their way into heaven, and my mother gets angry--very angry when when I politely say she's in error. She sometimes shutters when I point out Scripture and they are well into their late 70's early eighties now. They love their religion more. I don't want them to go to hell, but you can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink.
That's a rather brilliant comparison of the 5 Solas with the Catholic equivalent. I've never heard that before. Thank you! And thanks for the explanation of Scripture Alone too, because that's misunderstood on both sides.
The Bible came from the (Catholic) Church. The Church did not come from the Bible. So, it is the Catholic Church alone that saves. The printing press was invented in the 1400's. According to protestant rules, hardly anybody could have been saved before then.
@@thomasm8317 Nobody said that the Church came from the Bible. The Church is the collection of born again followers of Jesus Christ across all time and space. Only Jesus Christ can save, not a church. Make sure that you are born again or you won't be in the Church or Kingdom. As for the Bible, Tyndale went back to the original Hebrew and Greek, not the Latin. So the real Bible is not a translation of a translation like the catholic version is.
@@robertmog4336 The Church is the Bride of Christ, therefore, one with Him. The Church is also called the mystical Body of Christ. It is the Catholic Church alone that saves.
So now Let me show you How we find out if someone is Lying Comparing the truth to the lie. No person can state with absolute certainty that another individual is or is not a true believer in Christ. The Lord in his knowledge has withheld this knowledge from man .2 Timothy 2:19 states that the Lord knows those that belong to him The Lord alone posses such knowledge. Yet the(proties evangelicals or the 33,000 different denominations of Protestantism) and Bible Christians Believe they “KNOW “Catholics are not Christians. But that is not following the Bible word for word .. First we must suspect our own hearts before we accuse others. The disciples in the upper room, responded with the question Lord is it I ? When the Lord stated that one of them was a traitor. Second we must recognize our limitations when we judge even ministerial another person. Paul asked who are we to judge the servants of another , the servant is required to give an account to his master not to us. Paul’s teaching in Romans 14:4 is a sober reminder of our responsibility not to go beyond biblical limits in Judging others. … Yet these evangelicals and bible Christians Claim they know Catholics are not Christians…And tell us so…And sadly that is not following the bible word for word…..Paul states in 2 Corinthians 13:10 that the purpose of spiritual authority is to build people up in their faith , Virtue of the authority that the Lord has given me to build up and “not to tear down”😊
Do you consider catholic apologists who defend Rome are false teachers? In my dialogues with catholics it always comes down to one issue of why they will not repent of the errors of their church and that is they believe their church cannot err in matters of faith and morals. They think that Christ gave their popes and magesterium the ability to never err in these things no matter what.
One goes to hell if he or she dies with an unrepentant mortal (serious) sin on the soul. But, repent, even seconds before death, and most likely that one will go through purgation, but to Heaven will that one go. Even a Chinese, 200 years ago, on the other side of the world, never baptized, never heard of Christianity go to Heaven. Because Jesus redeemed the whole world and is far and away more merciful than Bible-Only Protestants who have no right to interpret the Bible. Only the Catholic Church was given that right.
Here is a catholic for you. My wife a catholic when I tell her something she will say I don't believe that. I will say it is in the Bible I will show you. She will not look and say I don't believe any of that.
Romans 4:5-8 NKJV [5] But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, [6] just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: [7] "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; [8] Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin." Sin is paid for by christ. Stop sinning isnt what saves you.
So be ye holy as God is Holy ? Didnt Jesus say that? If you are committing adultery with your wife by sodomising a man and have a heart attack and die you will just waltz into heaven because you are "born again" ? What about all the christian leaders in the church like bethel and co that are all committing adultery and lying and practically demon possesed they are all just going tp heaven? Please.
The gospel and the bible both came from the CATHOLIC church....not the protest church and they both include MARY...not the protestant "reformers. Protestantism comes from men and just about everything they attack is found in the bible. Mary, (and honouring her) saints (and their intercession) good works, penance, confession, the Eucharist, prayers of the rosary, even carved images that adorned the Lord's temple and the Marian doctrines. This dude is slandering the Lord's church and unjustly condemning others, which will bite him in the hinder at his own judgement
How many Protestant pastors coverted? Considering the many thousands of denominations it can't be very many, or all those many Protestant denominations you talk about wouldn't be forming still.
As a Catholic we believe that only Jesus Christ saves us. Mary or the saints cannot save us. However they can pray for us in heaven just like someone can pray for us on earth 🙏
And you don't have any problem confessing your sins to a priest instead of Jesus. You have no problem calling the pope holy father. You have no problem calling Mary the mother of God. You never read the Bible have you? Your God is your religion not the god of the Bible.
@@cooldog60 A catholic priest actually does a cool thing called in persona Christi which means in the place of Christ. So when a person is in confession they are not talking to the priest they are literally asking Christ for forgiveness. The priest is just there to make sure you have perfect contrition, or that you are truly sorry. But you do not need confession to be forgiven, it is just a helpful tool, praying can do the same thing. I'm not entirely sure why priests are called father because I am not catholic, but I do briefly remember hearing it is out of respect. There are instances in the bible of people in authority being called father. I will have to do more research.
Matthew 7: 1-3 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Only God has the power to judge others. Only God has the power to see the contents of our souls. Anyone who sees him or herself as God incarnate with the power to judge others will go to hell, which is accordance to God's first commandment: "You shall have no other God's before me." When God created man, Lucifer challenged God because he judged man not to be worthy as God's creation. And now we have men who challenge God for the existence of other men just as Lucifer once did because they don't adhere to their religion. Their religion comes before God.
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: *but he that doth the will* of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."" 1 Peter 4:8 "But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: *for charity covereth a multitude of sins."* ___ John 6:51-52 *"I am the living bread which came down from heaven.* If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; *and the bread that I will give, is my flesh,* for the life of the world." John 6:54-59 "Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: *Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.* As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; *so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.* This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. *He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.* Matthew 26:26-28 "And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. *This is my body.* And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. *For this is my blood* of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins." 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 "The chalice of benediction, which we bless, *is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?* And the bread, which we break, *is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?* For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread. 1 Corinthians 11:26-29 "For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. Therefore whosoever shall *eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord* unworthily, shall be guilty of the *body and of the blood of the Lord.* But let a man prove himself: and so let him *eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice*. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the *body of the Lord."*
No one believes that. We hold that God has always had a true catholic Church in the midst of apostasy. Those who held to Christ by faith apart from works. Read Calvin's Institutes. He deals with that very accusation.
So what was your family's excuse and yours for not reading Scripture The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful . . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. Catechism Of the Catholic Church Pope St. Gregory I (died 604 AD) “The Emperor of heaven, the Lord of men and of angels, has sent you His epistles for your life’s advantage-and yet you neglect to read them eagerly. Study them, I beg you, and meditate daily on the words of your Creator. Learn the heart of God in the words of God, that you may sigh more eagerly for things eternal, that your soul may be kindled with greater longings for heavenly joys.” Pope Clement XI (1700 - 1720) To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication. Pope Pius VI (April 1st 1778 AD) “the faithful should be excited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures: for these are the most abundant sources which ought to be left open to every one, to draw from them purity of morals and of doctrine” Pope Pius VII (1800 - 1823) "encourage their people to read the Holy Scriptures ; for nothing can be more useful, more consoling, and more animating, because they serve to confirm the faith, to support the hope, and to influence the charity of the true Christian." Pope Leo XIII (1893) “The solicitude of the apostolic office naturally urges and even compels us…to desire that this grand source of Catholic revelation (the Bible) should be made safely and abundantly accessible to the flock of Jesus Christ” Pope Pius X (1903 - 1914) “Nothing would please us more than to see our beloved children form the habit of reading the Gospels - not merely from time to time, but every day.” Pope Benedict XV (1914 - 1922) “Our one desire for all the Church’s children is that, being saturated with the Bible, they may arrive at the all-surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ” Pope Pius XII (1943) “... This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and more faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament ...” Pope John Paul II (1979) “catechesis must be impregnated and penetrated by the thought, the spirit and the outlook of the Bible and the Gospels through assiduous contact with the texts themselves” Pope Benedict XVI (2006) “I urge you to become familiar with the Bible, and to have it at hand so that it can be your compass pointing out the road to follow. By reading it, you will learn to know Christ.” Pope Francis (2015) “The Bible is not meant to be placed on a shelf, but to be in your hands, to read often - every day, both on your own and together with others” Gee, good thing you don’t like condescending emails, right? Anyway, I am not rebuking God’s Word, I am rebuking man’s word and, in particular, I am rebuking your word. Your fallible, man-made, non-authoritative, biased and bigoted word. You speak of the “laughable infallible teachings of the [M]agisterium,” yet you tend to also speak as if you yourself are infallible. Do you believe your private interpretations of Scripture to indeed be infallible? And, if not, will you then admit that your private, fallible interpretations of Scripture, in regard to Purgatory and other such Catholic teachings, could be wrong? You won’t admit that, though, will you? You know why? Pride, Freddy boy...pride. You are too proud to admit that you could be wrong. That your interpretations are indeed fallible and, therefore, prone to error. I find it less than honest that Mr. pinhead mentions particular quotes from paragraphs of the Catechism without giving any context for those quotes, and does his best to twist the meanings of those quotes. I take it that during this time as a Christian you have not sinned even 1 time correct? Naturally due to rising to such a high spiritual level of perfection, your thoughts are totally pure and the passions cease to exist due to your total sanctification and totally pure heart. I must hand it to you, it’s one thing for a Monk to leave the world and live in constant unceasing prayer on the Holy Mountain of Mt. Anthos, but to live in the world like you do and still be able to reach such a high spiritual state of perfection that the Great Saints could never achieve deserves of crown of diamonds😊
@Bible Alone calling him a PINHEAD is insulting. We are called to lovingly reprimand not be agressive and insulting. Be intelligent be kind, be stupid be rude. The way you tell some one the "truth" matters
you made a mistake. we do believe in sola gratia. the only sola we do not affirm are sola fide and sola Scriptura. well actually you have a few things wrong. we do believe mary needed a saviour. just because we believe she never sinned doesn't mean she did not need a saviour. Jesus preserved her from sinning in the first place. and its not just tradition. we believe in 3 pillars of the church: sacred scripture, sacred tradition, the magisterium (the college of bishops). the bible is the primary source of infallibility while the other 2 are secondary sources of infallibility. we believe in prima scripture.
Mary was preserved from sin by God. So, She was saved by God. She is co-redemptrix, because She said "yes" to God and carried salvation into the world.
I don't believe in doing any of the sacraments/ordinances. Not even water baptism or crackers and grape juice for communion. Read Colossians 2:14. "The rituals of the law have been nailed to the cross".
That is borderline heretical. Please do not reject Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. They are means of grace which God has given us and in which we should partake joyfully. NORMATIVELY, one cannot be saved without the Sacraments. BTW, this is traditional Protestant teaching.
Luke 1:34 "And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?" This was only a question because She could not have children. She could not, because she made a vow of virginity, which She kept. Also, At Her "yes" She became the faithful spouse to the Holy Ghost. Otherwise, Jesus would be illegitimate. Mary had no other children. If She had it was their responsibility to take care of her. Jesus would not have asked St. John to do it.
Hmm and where do we have it recorded of her making a vow of celibacy? 🤔 Or anywhere this was shown as a normal thing for jewish women to do? Your warped view comes from gnosticism, not the bible.
I wonder after 1,500 years of Christianity.. Why would you think that you got it right?.. P.S. Christ founded Catholicism but Luther founded your religion.
Good video! This was a topic I asked my Bible teacher in my Christian high school years ago. His response was, "Not all Baptists go to heaven either" (he became a RC a couple years later). Being an ignorant 15-year-old, I though his answer was so profound. In hindsight, the real question is does Rome's doctrine deny the true gospel, and the answer to that is yes. It's man trying to impress God with, pardon my Koine Greek, σκύβαλα good works and ritual observations instead of trusting in the completed work of Christ for justification and security. Also, does anyone know more resources on the difference between the Christian view and RC view of sanctification?
Good Catholics will NOT be going to hell. It depends as in all faith how you live your life, giving, being good to your neighbor, etc. What about Fatima?
@@nykka3 same old bullshit arguments learn history and learn what the office of pope actually stands for instead of protestant propaganda- I Remember thinking like you!
The scripture is the only authority on spiritual matters. Galatians itself was is about false gospels in the church at that time already. Man has never been and will never be the authority on spiritual matters. Church history is nothing.
You intimate that Catholics have to be infused with 'the sacraments' all the time - lol. No Catholic receives all 7 sacraments. Baptism is only done once in a life time but the reason we have the Eucharist, on a regular basis, is because Christ asked us to do so (John 6:53). Am I going to listen to you or to Christ? I think you know the answer.
Christ never required the Eucharist on a regular basis, as you say, He did say to do it in remembrance of Him, but He never said do it constantly. He could have meant do it once and that's sufficient, like baptism.
Rome teaches plenty of heterodox error. But nothing heretical. Last time I checked, subscribing to the (wonderful) Five Solas isn't what saves us. It's Christ, and Christ alone. And Catholics ultimately, despite their convoluted Gospel, have Christ. Full stop.
The answer is no, a true catholic will never go to hell. It is harder to get to heaven as a catholic then a protestant. They believe in the holy trinity They believe in jesus They are baptized They repent for their sins in confession Faith with works for salvation Protestant once save always saved. All you need is belief in christ and be baptized and that is it. Say the sinners pray and your good. No matter what sin you do you already saved. You cant loose your salvation. So chatolics all ready tops it by far. If you look at it logically.
saved by grace alone means you don't do any works? Like repentance, forgive who against us, love the enemies, serve people. So Protestants don't do anything of these things but have faith alone can go to heaven. I don't know about that.
All one has to do is read the Council of Trent to discover that Roman Catholicism is NOT Christianity. It is POPERY. The God of the Roman Catholic church is NOT the Jesus of the Bible. They believe in a FALSE Jesus and they sacrifice him in every mass. Clearly the scriptures teach that Jesus was crucified once for all, never to be sacrificed again. Anyone who makes another sacrifice eats and drinks damnation to themselves, denying the sacrifice that Jesus made of himself; the ONLY sacrifice that can take away sin. The trouble is, few Catholics even know their own religion. Worse, they don't believe the Gospel.
Greetings. Explain why the 1st True Christians are not Christian. We 1st True Christians believe Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all, and that sacrifices for sin are no longer needed Hebrews 9:28. God bless you.
@@Bonaparte3922 You, like most Catholics, don't even know what your church teaches. The Council of Trent declares that the sacrifice of the mass is a propitiatory sacrifice. Further, Trent declares that anyone who says that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sign is anathema. Catholicism teaches that the "host", once consecrated by the priest, becomes the literal blood, body, soul, and divinity of Jesus. Why is "transubstantiation" necessary if there is no sacrifice? It teaches that Jesus is there on the altar whole and entire to be sacrificed once again. Rome calls the mass a "perpetual sacrifice". Catholicism teaches that the Jesus on the altar is a "victim". Never once does the Bible call Jesus a "victim", so you are incorrect in your assertion that the mass is not exactly what I say it is. I've spent 25 years studying RCatholicism. I've listened to your priest's sermons. I've regularly watched EWTN. I've even listened to the Jesuits teaching on the subject. Trust me, you don't know what your church teaches. You eat and drink damnation to yourself, and so does EVERY Catholic. Worse yet, your church demands that the Protestant and Evangelical churches must come into unity with R Catholicism by means of a "common communion". You and I both know what that means. Rome demands that we all eat and drink damnation to ourselves just like you all do. Prove me wrong. Don't just repeat the same ole lying RC mantras.
@@Bonaparte3922 You bald-facedly lie to me when you say that Catholics don't make sacrifice. I've read the Council of Trent. It says that if anybody doesn't believe that the sacrifice of the mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, let him be damned. I've spent the better part of 25 years learning everything Catholic. I know your religion far better than you do. Transubstantiation is the changing of the substance of the bread and wine into the literal blood, body, soul, and divinity of Christ; the WHOLE Christ, nothing lacking, to be sacrificed (victim) once again on the altar. I've read and studied ALL your Roman Catholic Antichrist drivel and you can't BS me about what is or isn't believed or taught in your Catholic cult. In Daniel 9:24-27 it clearly states that in the midst of the week (the 70th and final week of Daniel's prophecy) that "he" (Messiah the Prince) will cause the sacrifices and oblations to CEASE!!! To make it stick, God used the Roman Tenth Legion to raze (demolish) the temple to the ground not leaving one stone upon another! NO MORE SACRIFICES!!! It's either Jesus' one-time, all- sufficient sacrifice for sin, or you go WITHOUT!!! And from that point on, anyone who makes sacrifice, whether Jew or Catholic, eats and drinks damnation to himself. You are NOT a Christian! You are a sacrificing Roman Catholic eating and drinking damnation to yourself while believing that you belong to the ONLY true church! I pity you. I pray that you come out of that Antichrist church ASAP; in Jesus' name I ask it.
@@Bonaparte3922 Roman Catholicism is NOT Christianity. It is Popery. True Christians acknowledge Christ as the rock and chief cornerstone of the church, not a sinful, wicked man who arrogates to himself the title, "Vicar of Christ", a most blasphemous term; a term that belongs solely to the Holy Spirit. I also know what the RCC teaches regarding the "sacrifice of the mass". Since Christ can only be sacrificed once for all, any more sacrifices, whether by Jew or by Catholic, is to eat and drink damnation to one's self and to deny the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time. Your claim defies RCC teaching, including the Council of Trent. You obviously don't know your own religion. For a Roman Catholic to say that the mass is not a perpetual sacrifice of Christ is a bold faced lie and you know it.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO Greetings. Is that an objective fact or your subjective opinion the 1st True Christians were NOT Christians. Inquisitive, can you name me any Christian (give me a name) from the 2nd century to the 12th century you agree with? I concur 100%. The 1st and True Christians before the 15th century acknowledge Christ as the rock and chief cornerstone of the church. Yes, we 1st Christians believe that Jesus made Peter our Pope his vicar and pastor John 21:16-17. Let me elucidate what “Vicar” means. A vicar in the Christian church is a person who stands as a representative of our God, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The early Protestant churches like Lutheran, Anglicans, and Episcopal also have Vicars. "Sacrifice of the mass". Are you talking about the Eucharist? It’s simply a Christian Catholic ritual that commemorates the sacrifice of our God Jesus Christ on the cross. I sometimes find your message appalling and bemused. In any way, shape or form will I relinquish the Christian church my God built Matthew 16:18. God bless you
The Gospel includes the church. The fact that we have the church is part of the gospel. Long live the Roman Catholic church!
Amen! May it be reformed, abandon their idolatry, false papal system, and false view of justification and truly live by Christ's power alone through grace alone, by faith alone, according to scripture alone and for the glory of God alone!
Catholics will NOT go to Hell since we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. And it is HISTORICAL truth that Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church upon Saint Peter the Rock in 33 AD.
Ya i was so scared caus Im catholic.. i hope i go to heaven with the christians
I thought it meandt that I cant agree with christians😢
But Catholics believe the sacraments play a role in their salvation. You glorify and credit yourself for your work in order to earn salvation.
@@mini-qx9gx God RESISTS the Proud but GIVES Grace to the Humble. There are 2 Sins against the Holy Spirit 🕊️ Presumption and Despair.

council of trent
"If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law, without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema."
"If anyone says that without the predisposing inspiration of the Holy Ghost, and without His help, man can believe, hope, love or be repentant as he ought, so that the grace of justification may be bestowed upon Him, let him be anathema."
Hence the Catholic Church never implied that salvation can achieved by human wit or power without Holy Ghost, and that this passage of the trent or catechism is done to even COUNTER an existing protestant doctrine🤢
Catholism a sun worship whom now 90% protestant churches adopted thier Sunday sun worship tradition a abomination to God. That's #1 #2 they pray to dead people from Mary to the disciples all who died are not I'm heaven nor hell as u guys understand hell but are in thier graves. Until christ raises us on the last day not a day sooner. God took 3 people moses Elijah and Enoch everyone else is dead waiting. They call themselves holy and father claim to forgive sin as they change and remove the commandments christ said to obey. Works is animal sacrifice tithe works is circumcision this is what it means when it says faith without works
As a former Catholic I can tell you the brainwashing is extremely difficult to overcome and thank Jesus I did. Amen
I too left the Catholic system 24 years ago. As soon as I read the Bible and discovered all the lies, I left the church. I thought it would be that easy for my Catholic family and friends to leave when I showed them the lies, but you are correct...the brainwashing/ indoctrination is deep rooted. I'm terrified for my unsaved loved ones. I thank God every day that He opened my eyes. I pray for the salvation of all unbelievers daily. Blessings to you and yours!
I never met a former Catholic who understood his faith. Never. I suspect you’re among them. I hope the Lord saves you.
To me, every Roman Catholic that comes out of the Roman Catholic church and believes in Christ alone is a walking talking miracle. Why? Because I've spent the better part of 25 years studying everything "Catholic" and I understand the indoctrination (cradle to grave) and the unbelievable consequences (disowning and disinheriting and eternal damnation) suffered from friends, family, and the entire church when one gets saved and comes out. My heart goes out to you and my sincere prayers go up for you till Christ returns. You are a walking miracle of God.
Catholics read from the gospels at every mass. But you're saying, they don’t actually believe in them?? This off to a bad start.
A big thing for me in why Catholicism must be the truth is the saints including the modern ones like Padre Pio, look into him and ask with your heart is this guy of Christ or the devil?
Did you know that anyone who is "born-again" is a saint. Search the New Testament. You'll see that Paul greets born-again believers as saints. The Catholic church loves making certain people more important than others like Mary, the Pope, priests, cardinals, bishops, angels, Catholic "saints", etc. Mary was definitely blessed for giving birth to the Savior of the world, but she was no more special in God's eyes than you or I. God does not have favorites. We are all the same in His eyes. Please start reading the Bible daily and ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand God's teachings...not man's. The catechism was written by man, inspired by Satan because of all the lies found in it. The holy Word of God, the Bible, was written by man but inspired by the Holy Spirit. Who's Word would you rather read?
Has nothing to do with God picking favorites if you read into any of the saints lives and how they lived they lived as close to what Jesus did in his life as possible meaning live in a life of almost little to no sin and that is very hard to do that's why these people get recognized. Plus devil absolutely hates the Virgin Mary don't ask me why why don't you ask him
Paul called the believers, "Saints". If what Roman Catholicism teaches is true, then there were no Saints until the Roman Catholic church began to "canonize" them. Ridiculous on its face. Padre Pio, as pious as is claimed of him, was a papist, NOT a Christian. His "works" will avail him nothing. Neither will the sacraments. Neither will his canonization. Neither will the sacrifice of the mass. Only those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb will be saved. Only those who trust in the sacrifice that Christ made of himself will be saved. Eating a "consecrated wafer", no matter how reverently, will avail you nothing. Because Jesus, after he had given up the ghost, "caused all sacrifices and oblations to cease" (Dan 9:24-27). God has not received a single sacrifice from ANYBODY since His son was sacrificed on the cross. All your masses are so many abominations before the Lord. They are a stench in His nostrils. Those who participate in any sacrifice eats and drinks damnation to himself, thereby denying the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time.
Amen! I am a high schooler and I am grateful for your ministry, P. Joel. God Bless!
That’s really encouraging! Thanks for saying that Justin. God bless.
i would advise you to check out the channels of catholic answers, the counsel of trend, the catholic brothers, reason & theology, how to be Christian. they do a great job debunking protestant theology. check out especially the last one i mentioned if you only have time for one. catholic answers are good too for answering any question you may have. this guy is spreading misinformation about the catholic faith. if you want know what we actually believe, pick up the bible and catechism of the catholic church or check out the channels i listed.
If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world."
Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to
Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."
"Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer.
It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven.
Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17)
What I must do to be saved:
*I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood).
* I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21
* I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others.
* I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others.
* I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47.
* I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23
* I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.
* I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30.
* I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them.
*I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
*I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
And ... ? What else must I do?
Catechism
#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."🌹
Thank you my brother or sister in Christ.
Christ said not to judge so that you will not be judged because with the same measure that you judge you will be judged. I, you, remain silent, it will not be that the one who is condemned is you

Very helpful in witnessing to Catholics. It's crazy how our "Christianese" sounds just like the Catholic's language. But that's where it can get complicated. We must define our terms! Thank you, Pastor!
Agreed! Thanks!
why would you want to witness to Catholics? wouldn't it be better for your salvation if a catholic witnesses to you? he made a crucial mistake. we do be believe in sola gratia. the only solas we do not affirn are sola Scriptura and sola fide.
@@crobeastness That's the main problem with what Catholicism doesn't affirm. It is by faith (alone) and by grace (alone) in which a believer is justified by God, apart from works. Scripture alone is what believers are to submit to because it is sufficient and it holds what is absolutely necessary for the believer to be reconciled to God and to know how to be instructed in life and in church. Nothing else is necessary. Anything else that's called in next to Scripture, needs to be examined with Scripture.
@@ReformedTradesman faith alone is for initial justification aka why we baptize infants. No works are required for initial justification. If you are using your own emotions or intellect for faith, you are using works. When I went from atheism to Catholicism, i had to do a lot of work studying Church history and weighing the options aka working. then you have to deal with James 2 that says "faith without works is dead" after that initial justification.
Sola scriptura makes even less sense. Well actually it depends what you mean. I've heard definitions of Sola scriptura that i agree with because what they actually mean is prima scriptura. If you mean that scripture is the only infallible word of God, then no that's not true. If that were true illiterate people would not be welcomed into heaven. When the founding fathers of America wrote the constitution, did they send a copy to every household and say "here fend for yourself based on your own interpretation of this text"? No, they provided a court whose job it is is to interpret for the citizens of the US aka the Magisterium, who btw precede the new testament. You have to ask who wrote the new testament? What church were they part of? Where is this church today? Why would I believe in an invisible church when no one before the 19th century did? How do I know the canon of the bible if scripture itself does not tell me that? Why would I believe the Bible is the only infallible source when the bible doesn't even say that? So you see there are a lot of unanswered questions the protestant has to ask about these things where the catholic doesn't. And just to be clear, we believe the Magisterium and sacred tradition, while infallible, do not supersede the infallibility of the bible.
If Protestants believe you're saved by faith alone and "good Catholics" believe in God....then why would they go to hell as he describes? Contraction?
The Devil believes in God and trembles with fear. "Faith" is more than believing in God because the Devil also believes. We are saved by grace (the unmerited favor of God) through faith in the propitiatory sacrifice that Jesus made for us. Our sins are washed away by his blood that he shed for us on the cross. If we believe and accept as propitiatory his sacrifice for us and believe that God raised him from the dead, we shall live. In Adam, all died. In the Second Adam (Jesus), all are made alive forevermore. Believing in God alone lacks the propitiatory sacrifice of the Lamb that God provided for our redemption. Jesus said: "You believe in God, believe also in me." Most pertinent to Roman Catholics is this: "Ye are saved by grace through faith, and not of yourselves, it is a gift from God, NOT OF WORKS LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST." Your Roman Catholic "sacraments" will avail you nothing with God. "Come OUT of her, my people, that ye partake not of her sins, and that ye receive not also of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath REMEMBERED (not forgiven) her iniquities." The "her" is the Roman Catholic church described in living color in Revelation 17.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO That “her” which you refer to is The Roman Empire.

It is still the Roman Empire by God's reckoning and His reckoning is the ONLY one that counts. And Rome will continue to rule the world until Christ's literal, visible return when He will destroy Rome with the brightness of His coming and by the spirit of His mouth.
And if you doubt that the Papacy considers itself the continuation of the Caesars, then simply read the quote from Pope Pius IX in his "Discoursi" where he says of himself, "The Caesar that addresses you...". Look it up for yourself. And he's not the only pope that described himself as "Caesar" when speaking of his "temporal" (king of kings) powers. And the Bible confirms this when it says of the Papacy, "he rules over the kings of the earth". Just like Nebuchadnezzar did!
Gibbon's lied. Rome never died. It just changed its clothes. The Pope is Caesar. The Senate is the College of Cardinals. Even the scarlet and purple is the same. And they still worship Sol Invictus!

Many Popes have openly claimed the title "Caesar" in describing their temporal (king of kings) powers, Pope Pius IX being only one of them.

They shall have ears but not hear. Ezekiel 12:2 and romans 11:8. As a Catholic convert, it’s strange to hear these arguments now and I pray that the Lord God Almighty opens your eyes and ears to the truth.
It’s much simpler than the gentlemen here is leading you to believe, when you examine the Catholic Churches teachings they’re very simple and align very well with Holy Scripture. Catholics don’t reject the gospel, the mass is a sending to take the good news out to the world. They process the gospel before every mass and they stand in reverence to acclaim it as it’s read EVERY day in church. How many other churches can claim that? The reverence for the Word in truth and flesh is plain for the eye to see but you need to want to see it. At the very least, I implore you to ask the Holy Spirit to show you truth and be open to the answer. God bless you brothers and sisters in Christ, we pray for you and we love you.
And you are always welcome to a mass to see it yourself (don’t feel too self conscious like I did, sit at the back somewhere and copy when everyone else stands and sits, no one is watching you they’re all there to worship God). God bless.

Christ teaches (as The Church does), that we are saved by faith and works.
Also, Mary is the blessed ever-virgin Theotokos.
Amen
Amen
A blessed woman for sure, but not more special in God's eyes than you or I. We are all special to God.
She's the God bearer and blessed forever yes but she wasn't ever virgin
SO WHO WERE THESE "BROTHERS OF JESUS?"
A. While James and Joses are mentioned as Jesus's brothers in Matthew 13:55, it is made clear in Mathew 27:56 and Mark 15:40 that their mother was another Mary.
Matthew 27:56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
This "other Mary" at the Cross, is revealed in John 19:25 to be the wife of Cleophas. Mary of Cleophas is therefore revealed as the mother of two of Jesus's so-called "brothers", James and Joses.
B. In John 19:25, the original Greek states. "But by he cross of Jesus were the Mother of Him AND the sister of the Mother of Him, Mary the wife of Cleopas AND Mary the Magdalene." The precise positioning of the ANDs in the original Greek makes it clear that Mary the Wife of Cleopas, is also referred to as the Virgin Mary's sister. Since we know no-one has two daughters and calls them BOTH Mary, we know that sister here does not mean sister. The same would apply to "brother" with reference to Jesus.
C. In the introduction to the Book of Jude, Jude introduces himself as: Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and a brother of James. If Jude/Judas were truly the brother of Jesus, why wouldn't he say so? He identifies himself in his letter as brother of James, but significantly not as a brother of Jesus, only as a servant. To have identified himself as Jesus's blood brother would have added enormous weight to his epistle, but Jude doesn't so identify himself here. We know the reason, because James and Joseph have already been revealed to be sons of the other Mary in Matthew 27 and Mark 15. Judas then must also be a son of this other Mary. Mary wife of Cleophas. So another of Jesus's so-called "brothers" is eliminated.
D. James "Brother of Jesus" is referred to as one of the APOSTLES by Paul in Galatians 1:19. . We know from Matthew 10:2-4 that neither of the Apostles named James was actually a Son of Mary. So James, "brother of Jesus" cannot be a Son of Mary. He is actually James, Son of Alphaeus (thought to be another form of Cleophas)! James is a kinsman of Jesus, but not a sibling.
A few more points:
• In Luke 2:41-51, the twelve-year-old Jesus goes missing on a trip to Jerusalem, and is only found three days later in the temple. Yet in all this time no mention at all is made of any other children, even though the entire family made the journey together. If all the people mentioned in Matthew were actually surviving children of Mary, she would have had at least seven children younger than Jesus to look after! In fact both Mary and Joseph race back to Jerusalem to find him, through country filled with bandits, something they could not have done if there had been babies and other young children in need of care!
• The people of Nazareth refer to Jesus as "the son of Mary" (Mark 6:3), not as "a son of Mary"
Finally, if James and Joseph, Simon and Jude, were children of Mary, and if Jesus had even more brothers and sisters, why did Jesus commit His Mother to the care of St. John at His death?
Mk 6:3 says, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses, and Judas and Simon, and are not His sisters here with us?" We need to realize a few things here about these "brothers and sisters": #1, there was no word for cousin, or for nephew or niece, or for aunt or uncle in ancient Hebrew or Aramaic - the words that the Jews used in all those instances were "brother" or "sister". An example of this can be seen in Gen 14:14, where Lot, who was Abraham's nephew, is called his brother.
Another point to consider. If Jesus had had any brothers, if Mary had had any other sons, would the last thing that Jesus did on earth be to grievously offend his surviving brothers? In Jn 19:26-27, right before Jesus dies, it says that Jesus entrusted the care of His mother to the beloved disciple, John. If Mary had had any other sons, it would have been an incredible slap in the face to them that the Apostle John was entrusted with the care of their mother!
Also, we see from Mt. 27:55-56, that the James and Joses mentioned in Mark 6 as the "brothers" of Jesus, are actually the sons of another Mary. And, one other passage to consider is Acts 1:14-15, "[The Apostles] with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with His brothers...the company of persons was in all about a hundred and twenty." A company of 120 persons composed of the Apostles, Mary, the women, and the "brothers" of Jesus. Let's see there were 11 Apostles at the time. Jesus' mother makes 12. The women, probably the same three women mentioned in Matthew 27, but let's say it was maybe a dozen or two, just for argument's sake. So that puts us up to 30 or 40 or so. So that leaves the number of Jesus' brothers at about 80 or 90! Do you think Mary had 80 or 90 children? She would have been in perpetual labor! No, Scripture does not contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church about the "brothers" of Jesus, when Scripture is properly interpreted in context.
The Bible clearly says that Jesus had brothers and sisters, but the Catholic Church teaches that Mary was a perpetual virgin...how can you reconcile those seemingly different positions?Mk 6:3 says, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses, and Judas and Simon, and are not His sisters here with us?" We need to realize a few things here about these "brothers and sisters": #1, there was no word for cousin, or for nephew or niece, or for aunt or uncle in ancient Hebrew or Aramaic - the words that the Jews used in all those instances were "brother" or "sister".

Whenever you hear black people address themselves as? "brother" nowadays does it mean the people are literally siblings. You are making observations on a culture you know nothing about.😆
Your spreading false teachings and leading people a stray. The Catholic church formed the Bible and chose what books would be in there. Peter started the Catholic church, Jesus told him to do that too. So if anyone is going to hell it's someone that starts their own church because they can't get along.
A relationship between God and oneself is strictly private and confidential. Only God has the authority to decide who will enter Heaven not ourselves. The problem with some people is they will target vulnerable people in the community. This happend to my friend, these so called born again Christains kept turning up at my friends house and arranging Bible meetings with out asking permission first. They would turn up all evenings of the week with absolutely no regards for my friends parental duties and that her kids needed their routine and all on a school night. They also tried to force my friend to attend church, in the end my friends care co ordinator had to put a safe guarding order to protect my friend and in no certain terms were they to harass my friend. Thankfully this abuse was stopped in time.
ummm thefgospel came from the catholic church....not the protestant church and the true gospel includes Mary. Before you pronounce the judgement that someone else is "going to hell" you might want to go back and read Matt 7L2, whuich warns you that the same judgement you use to judge others with, will be used to judge you.
Here's more:
JUDGING OTHERS:
ROMANS 2
God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
So I am a catholic with Protestant belief
what does that even mean? then you arent catholic.
I agree. I was baptised Catholic as an infant. However, as I grew I was not willing to accept things and teachings at face value. I began to do my own research and much of my research pained me and I wanted to leave the Roman Catholic Church. However, there is pain even in the protestant Church and although I still go for mass and because I disagree with parts of the mass, instead of letting me upset me, I just pray my own prayers. Like for example, parts of the I CONFESS. I then recite Psalm 51 silently
Keep looking to Christ brothers and trust nothing but what he's done your behalf! Reform where you can! Teach where you can but cling to the one who died for you! Praying for you both!
Crazy take 😂 dude is clueless on Catholicism.
You must become perfect as you're father is perfect. most Christians do not die in a perfect State. For all of the Christians who die in a imperfect state either go to hell or through a purgation process before they can reach the paradise state. If it turns out that the universal reconciliation of all belief turns out to be true then that means that everyone who dies or ends up in the new heavens and new earth in an imperfect state must be purged and purified first an order to reach a perfect State.✝️☦️💖🙌🏽🕯️🕯️🕯️❤️🔥C.S.Lewis believed that there is a need for purgation after one dies.
Why do you think that Protestants can go to heaven?..
Because a true Protestant believes the Gospel as it is written and puts his full faith and trust in the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time. Jesus alone is the rock and foundation of the church, and we are all brethren. We are saved by grace (the unmerited favor of God) alone, through faith (the God-given gift of faith to believe and trust in the propitiatory sacrifice of Christ) alone, as taught in the scriptures alone, and to God ONLY be the glory. AND, we forever PROTEST the Antichrist Papacy and his Synagogue of Satan called, Roman Catholicism! We name and denounce by name every false doctrine of Rome and every pagan tradition of Rome and all her lying apparitions and false prophesies and all of her false miracles and all of her lying wonders. We especially name and condemn as Antichrist every pope from the first to the last and strive with all our hearts to show Catholics the error of their supposed "faith". And we do it at GREAT personal expense and pain and suffering and persecution and torture and mutilation and flames and death. The bible speaks of us. It says, "and they loved not their lives, even unto death." Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world." A true Protestant belongs to Christ's Kingdom. It's not of this world. The Pope's kingdom is strictly of this world. And global supremacy is his end. "For what shall it prosper a man (the man of sin) if he should gain the whole world and lose his soul?" That is the destiny for the Papacy and all his minions. Will it be yours too?
@@vaticanjesuitNWO Why don’t you accept the words of Christ in Matt 16:18?
P.S. “The synagogue of Satan” is a reference to a group of Jews. I don’t know how that could be more obvious. Rev 3:9, why are you misinterpreting The Bible?
@@johnsteila411 I accept every single word of Matt 16:18 exactly the way it was written and you already know how you and I differ and I don't even have to tell you. But I will anyway. Jesus is the rock and foundation of the church and we are all brethren. There is no other foundation of Christ's church than Christ himself. Peter acknowledged that Jesus was the son of God. That is the ROCK.
On the Synagogue of Satan: Yes indeed, Christ referred to the Jews who denied him. But the temple was soon to be razed to the ground and left to them (the Jews and Jerusalem) desolate. Why? Because Daniel 9:24-27 prophesied that in the midst of the 70th week, Messiah the Prince would cause the sacrifices and oblations to cease! And THAT he indeed did! NO MORE SACRIFICES. None for Jews, none for anybody else. You either accept the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time, or you go without! So God had the temple razed to the ground, not one stone remaining upon another. NO MORE SACRIFICES!
So where is the Synagogue of Satan today? Why, it's the sacrificing church of course. And it's the biggest church on the planet. And its Great High Priest is the Papacy, the Antichrist, the man of sin, the son of perdition, the Judas Priest who betrays Christ with a kiss, the beast. And the whole world wonders after the Papal Beast. Need I say more?
@@johnsteila411 I accept every word of it and you very well already know the difference between Catholics and Protestants on that scripture and divine judgment will decide who is correct.
As for the Synagogue of Satan. Yes, that phrase was a reference to the priests who made sacrifice on temple mount in Jerusalem. That temple was destroyed utterly in 70 AD. Where is the Synagogue of Satan today? It is that which makes sacrifices. The sacrifice of the mass. Why do you think your priests are called priests? Why do you think they call the mass, "a sacrifice"? Why do they wear the yamuka on their heads precisely as do the Hebrew priests? They are one and the same. The priests of the Roman Catholic church are literally just the Gentile replacement of the Hebrew priests whose careers were ended in 33 AD. Continuing to make sacrifices after Jesus was sacrificed marks that church as the Synagogue of Satan. And all who participate in the mass are eating and drinking damnation to themselves. Satan loves that the most.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO There’s no need to wait for a meeting with God to understand what Matt 16:18 means, it’s quite clear and easy to understand.
Confusion on the subject is only introduced by the stubbornness of men.
Wow…wrong
Those who don't put there FULL FAITH in JESUS CHRIST for Salvation are DOOMED. If you think you can work your way to heaven even a little bit with your filthy works, you will hear the words DEPART FROM ME at judgement.
Sorry, pastor, the Holy Catholic Church disagrees with your erroneous, self-righteous interpretation of the gospel. We have what the Lord Jesus gave the Apostles - you don’t. You lean on the made-up solas of Luther. How unfortunate.
You said we are saved by grace through faith but Scripture says God saves us (or we are saved by grace) through faith (Eph. 2:8) AND through sanctification (2 Thes. 2:13).
Did the Reformers preach the true Gospel? Questions for you:
1. According to the Reformers justification is instantaneous and is by faith alone (sola fide in Latin). In New Testament the phrase "justified by faith" appears four times: Rom. 3:28, 5:1, Gal 2:16, 3;24. In Greek the one in Rom. 3:28is in passive present tense, while the rest are in passive aorist tense. Both present and aorist tense do NOT indicate a completed justification by faith or do NOT support faith alone justification. If Scripture teaches faith-alone justification, then Paul would write those phrases in passive perfect tense. Greek perfect tense indicates the action described by the verb was completed in the past with continuing result to the present. In Gal 2:16 and 3:24 that phrase even appears in subjunctive mood, which indicates expectation - some translation say "might be justified by faith" to incorporate that mood.
2. According to the Reformers through faith alone justification the righteousness of Christ is imputed or counted on us while our sins (including future ones) are imputed or counted on Christ who bore them on the cross - the so-called double imputation. Luther expressed this concept as: "His [Christ] righteousness is yours, your sin is His" (Luther: Lectures on Galatians, chapter 1-4, English translation from Luther's Works, Vol. 26, page 233). But double imputation is denied in Scripture when it says in Ezekiel 18:20: "the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself." If our sins are imputed on Christ, then there is no need of purgatory, and this is the main reason why Protestants reject purgatory. Scriptural distinction between deadly (mortal) and non-deadly sins (1 John 5:16-17) becomes meaningless as both can be imputed or counted on Christ.
3. According to the Reformers faith alone justification does NOT make us righteous, but we are counted as righteous based on alien/external righteousness of Christ imputed on us and at the same time we remain unrighteous or sinner. Luther wrote: "Thus a Christian man is righteous and a sinner at the same time, holy and profane, an enemy of God and a child of God." (ibid, page 232) But Scripture denies that we can be both righteous and sinner at the same time when it says in Ezekiel 33:12: "the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins". 1 John 3:8 says: "he who sins is of the devil" and Heb 10:26-27 says: "For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries".
4. According to the Reformers, through faith alone justification we are legally declared as righteous while we remain sinners and Christ is legally declared sinner while he remains sinless. We will be judged when we die (Heb. 9:27). Followers of the Reformers believe that God would declare them to be righteous, while they are not, and therefore He will let them enter heaven. Since Christ is legally a sinner, He is legally punished for our sins. Reformed tradition articulates this into penal substitution - God directs His anger and wrath to Christ, because in the eyes of God Christ is legally a sinner as our sins are imputed or counted on Him. We have a serious problem here. Proverbs 17:15 says; "He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord. The teaching of the Reformers make God do what Scripture refers as abomination! It is no difference with this case: suppose the court declared that Harvey Weinstein not guilty (that made him walk free), because his crimes were counted on other person, who then must spend years in jail, instead of him. That is injustice, isn't it?
What Catholics believe In contrast to sola fide:
1. According to Scripture God saves us (or we are saved by grace) through faith (Eph. 2:8) and through sanctification (2 Thes. 2;13). If salvation is a process that includes sanctification, then so is justification. Rom 8:28 says: “And those whom he predestined he [God] also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified”. Sanctification, being also the work of God (1 Thessalonians 5:23, 2 Thessalonians 2:13), is not mentioned in Romans 8:30. Then it should be part of being justified, as taught by the Catholic Church. In 1 Corinthians 6:11 Paul placed justified after sanctified, indicating that we are justified after being sanctified.
2. According to Scripture we are made righteous through Christ (Rom. 5:19). We cannot become righteous by ourselves. Our righteousness comes from God through Christ and to make us righteous, it is to be infused in us. Our sins are not infused in Christ - no double infusion. Why do we need to be made righteous? Scripture says the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23) and it is righteousness that delivers us from death (Prov. 10:2, 11:3). The righteous shall go to eternal life (Mat. 25:46). We are made righteous through faith because faith is counted as righteousness (Rom. 4:2). We are also made righteous through doing what is right (1 John 3:7). Our ability to have faith and to do what is right comes from and is only possible by grace through Christ as apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5).
3. When a person has faith in Christ, he is made righteous. All his past sins are washed away through (Sacrament of) Baptism (Acts 2:38), if he has the chance to take it. Scripture distinguished between deadly (mortal) and non-deadly (venial) sins (1 John 5:16-17). According to Scripture we lose our righteousness whenever we commit (mortal) sin (Ezek. 33:12). Our past righteous deeds will be forgotten, or we die in our sin (Ezek. 18:24). Moved and enabled by grace, we repent and are forgiven through Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ in John 20:21-23. Our past (mortal) sins will be forgotten, and we will live (Ezek. 18:21-22). When we die and judged, we will go to heaven if we die in righteous state (without any unrepented mortal sin). If we die with venial sin, then we undergo purgatory to cleanse us. Scripture refers God as like refiner's fire and like fullers' soap (Malachi 3:2). There must be reason why Scripture says so and both have something to do with purifying or cleansing. Zech 13:9 says God will put this third into the fire and refine them as one refines silver and test them as gold is tested. It does not use the word purgatory, but the concept is there. Our salvation depends neither on how many righteous deeds nor on how many (mortal) sins we do.
4. When we die in righteous state and judged, we will be declared righteous because we are indeed (made) righteous. Christ is neither made nor declared sinner. He willingly offered Himself to die for our sins. God did not direct His anger and wrath to Him. No violation to what Prov. 17:15 says.
What does propitiation mean?
@@fireflames3639 Propitiation is what one does to please God. While expiation is what one does to mend a broken relation, in this case due to our sins. I do not use the word "propitiation" in my comment. Why don't you write about what I wrote, instead of bringing new issue?
@@justfromcatholic Because you just try to correlate verses in the Old testament to Jesus dying for our sins in the new which just don't correlate. And I am commenting on your comment because at the end you said God did not direct his wrath towards Jesus, yet propitiation means "satisfaction of wrath." So you are dead wrong on what propitiation means. Jesus had to satisfy the wrath of God otherwise God's wrath would still be on us. That is the cup Jesus was talking about when he said "let this cup pass from me..."
@@fireflames3639 If God directed His wrath to innocent Christ then according to Prov. 17:15 He did abomination. Propitiation does not means satisfaction of wrath as you wrote.
@@justfromcatholic Such a false equivalence from prov 17:15. That is talking about one who says that the wicked is doing right and he is righteous in his wickedness and the one who says the righteous is commiting sin and condemning him even though he has committed no sin. It has nothing to do with Jesus willfully commiting himself to the cross to bear our sins and bear God's wrath. SINCE Jesus has done this, THEN God is allowed to justify the wicked through faith apart from works (i.e. alone). God cannot just justify the wicked out of nowhere, once must be there substitute otherwise everyone would be dead in sins. The Roman Catholic view obscures the atonement so much it is crazy.

The Council of Trent declared:
“ . . . if they [men] were not born again in Christ, they would never be justified, since in that new birth there is bestowed upon them, through the merit of His passion, the grace by which they are made just . .
He laid down the conditions of salvation thus: "He that believeth and is baptized," said the Son of the Living God, "shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned" (Luke 16:16). Here, then, Our Blessed Lord laid down the two conditions of salvation: Faith and Baptism. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned - or is damned
Now quote the Council correctly😁
You believe that a person can be baptized and believe and will not be saved. Your teachings contradict that verse
The thief on the cross was not baptised and was saved and went to heaven…
@@S-dx9go Christ says in Matthew that, like Jonah, he would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days. Acts tells us Christ remained on earth for 40 days before He ascends. So there were 43 days BEFORE Christ went to Heaven. Did the good thief go ahead of the Lord to make sure the lights were on for His arrival? Or, more likely, Paradise that Christ mentions, is Abrahams Boosom. The place where the prisoners Christ preached to in 1st Peter were awaiting the Messiah👏👏
Your viewers might think this is helpful, but what’s even more helpful is studying the catechism of the Catholic Church to learn what Catholics TRULY believe. With all due respect, you have attempted to explain a doctrine without studying the original sources.

With that being said, i agree! Lol
Mary is needed for salvation in catholicism, that means they follow another gospel. Simple. You don't need to read dozens of hours of useless garbage to understand this.
@@JesusProtectsMary isn’t needed for salvation, but God chooses to begin his ministry through her intersession at the wedding in Cana.
She is venerated as the New Eve, the woman who intercedes for the good of mankind, rather than for the destruction of man as Eve did.
She is the woman from whom God took his flesh, in her womb, just as all mothers give their own flesh for their children.
She is a creature, and the ultimate example to all women of using our influence over the men in our lives for good rather than for evil.
She is the ark of the new covenant, the created vessel which contains the word of God, the priesthood, and the law. Within her womb the infinite dwells.
God created her as the Archetypal woman. Rejecting her leads to the rejection of all women, femininity, and the role of woman as the home. This is why Protestantism is so confused about what women are.
Update: I am now in RCIA! Becoming Catholic and going to mass every Sunday!
All glory to God!
And Joseph was older than Mary (a LOT older) and had other children by his first wife. "Until" in Greek means up to the point, but not beyond necessarily. 2 Samuel 6:23- “Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death.” Saul had children with his wife after she died?
edit: the womb of St Mary is closed as the Lord pass thru it.
Ezechiel 44:2 And the Eternal says to me: This door will be closed, it will not open, and nobody will pass there; because the Eternal, God of Israel entered by there. It will remain closed.
And now the "reformers":
Martin Luther
God did not derive his divinity from Mary; but it does not follow that it is therefore wrong to say that God was born of Mary, that God is Mary’s Son, and that Mary is God’s mother…She is the true mother of God and bearer of God…Mary suckled God, rocked God to sleep, prepared broth and soup for God, etc. For God and man are one person, one Christ, one Son, one Jesus, not two Christs…just as your son is not two sons…even though he has two natures, body and soul, the body from you, the soul from God alone. (On the Councils and the Church, 1539).
It is a sweet and pious belief that the infusion of Mary's soul was effected without original sin; so that in the very infusion of her soul she was also purified from original sin and adorned with God's gifts, receiving a pure soul infused by God; thus from the first moment she began to live she was free from all sin" (Sermon: "On the Day of the Conception of the Mother of God," 1527).
John Calvin
"There have been certain STRANGE folk who have wished to suggest from this passage [Matt 1:25 - But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.] that the Virgin Mary had other children than the Son of God, and that Joseph had then dwelt with her later; BUT WHAT FOLLY THIS IS!
"For the gospel writer did not wish to record what happened afterwards; he simply wished to make clear Joseph's obedience and to show also that Joseph had been well and truly assured that it was God who had sent his angel to Mary. He had therefore NEVER dwelt with her nor had he shared her company....
"And besides this, our Lord Jesus Christ is called the first-born. This is NOT because there was a second or a third, but because the gospel writer is paying regard to the precedence. Scripture speaks thus of naming the first-born whether or no there was any question of the second. Thus we see the intention of the Holy Spirit. This is why to lend ourselves to FOOLISH SUBTLETIES WOULD BE TO ABUSE HOLY SCRIPTURE...." (Sermon on Matthew 1:22-25, published 1562)
Ulrich Zwingli
"I esteem immensely the Mother of God, the ever chaste, immaculate Virgin Mary." [E. Stakemeier, De Mariologia et Oecumenismo, K. Balic, ed., (Rome, 1962), 456].😊
My brother Catholics do not believe in total depravity. If you mean in the same way that Calvinist believe.
The problem is most peoples God is not the God of the Bible. But their religion. If the Bible says one thing and their religion says another they believe their religion. People will spend hours on the internet and tv watching trash. But they can't even spend enough time to open a Bible.
You hit it right on the head there. I just had an argument with a self proclaimed atheist and sometimes Catholic that I'm a religious person. When I tried to explain that my only religion which is pleasing to God the Father--taking care of widows and orphans James 1:27 they couldn't get their head around it. I'm a Christian, but I think people tend to tie in the word religious with Christianity. I see a lot of things in Catholic doctrine that is not Biblical like the doctrine of Purgatory. They shutter when I point out Scripture because they would rather believe their Priest or the Pope rather than the Word of God. Both my parents are devout Catholics. They attend service every morning, they are Eucarhistic Ministers, say their Rosary a few times a day and they been doing this for the last 40 years or so. Its almost as if they are trying to earn their way into heaven, and my mother gets angry--very angry when when I politely say she's in error. She sometimes shutters when I point out Scripture and they are well into their late 70's early eighties now. They love their religion more. I don't want them to go to hell, but you can lead a horse to water but can't make them drink.
That's a rather brilliant comparison of the 5 Solas with the Catholic equivalent. I've never heard that before. Thank you! And thanks for the explanation of Scripture Alone too, because that's misunderstood on both sides.
Agreed. Often misunderstood. Thanks brother!
@@RightResponseMinistries Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.
The Bible came from the (Catholic) Church. The Church did not come from the Bible. So, it is the Catholic Church alone that saves. The printing press was invented in the 1400's. According to protestant rules, hardly anybody could have been saved before then.
@@thomasm8317 Nobody said that the Church came from the Bible. The Church is the collection of born again followers of Jesus Christ across all time and space. Only Jesus Christ can save, not a church. Make sure that you are born again or you won't be in the Church or Kingdom. As for the Bible, Tyndale went back to the original Hebrew and Greek, not the Latin. So the real Bible is not a translation of a translation like the catholic version is.
@@robertmog4336 The Church is the Bride of Christ, therefore, one with Him. The Church is also called the mystical Body of Christ. It is the Catholic Church alone that saves.
So now Let me show you How we find out if someone is Lying Comparing the truth to the lie.
No person can state with absolute certainty that another individual is or is not a true believer in Christ.
The Lord in his knowledge has withheld this knowledge from man .2 Timothy 2:19 states that the Lord knows those that belong to him The Lord alone posses such knowledge. Yet the(proties evangelicals or the 33,000 different denominations of Protestantism) and Bible Christians Believe they “KNOW “Catholics are not Christians. But that is not following the Bible word for word .. First we must suspect our own hearts before we accuse others. The disciples in the upper room, responded with the question Lord is it I ?
When the Lord stated that one of them was a traitor. Second we must recognize our limitations when we judge even ministerial another person. Paul asked who are we to judge the servants of another , the servant is required to give an account to his master not to us. Paul’s teaching in Romans 14:4 is a sober reminder of our responsibility not to go beyond biblical limits in Judging others. … Yet these evangelicals and bible Christians Claim they know Catholics are not Christians…And tell us so…And sadly that is not following the bible word for word…..Paul states in 2 Corinthians 13:10 that the purpose of spiritual authority is to build people up in their faith , Virtue of the authority that the Lord has given me to build up and “not to tear down”😊
Do you consider catholic apologists who defend Rome are false teachers?
In my dialogues with catholics it always comes down to one issue of why they will not repent of the errors of their church and that is they believe their church cannot err in matters of faith and morals. They think that Christ gave their popes and magesterium the ability to never err in these things no matter what.
what error has the catholic church officially taught concerning faith and morals?
@@crobeastnessOne, that God approved of the Church murdering or burning at the stake for heresy. I don't think God would condone that.
One goes to hell if he or she dies with an unrepentant mortal (serious) sin on the soul. But, repent, even seconds before death, and most likely that one will go through purgation, but to Heaven will that one go. Even a Chinese, 200 years ago, on the other side of the world, never baptized, never heard of Christianity go to Heaven. Because Jesus redeemed the whole world and is far and away more merciful than Bible-Only Protestants who have no right to interpret the Bible. Only the Catholic Church was given that right.
Here is a catholic for you. My wife a catholic when I tell her something she will say I don't believe that. I will say it is in the Bible I will show you. She will not look and say I don't believe any of that.
There's no such good thing as good or bad Catholics either you bad or you good stop covering up yo 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Romans 4:5-8 NKJV
[5] But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, [6] just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works: [7] "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; [8] Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."
Sin is paid for by christ. Stop sinning isnt what saves you.
So be ye holy as God is Holy ? Didnt Jesus say that? If you are committing adultery with your wife by sodomising a man and have a heart attack and die you will just waltz into heaven because you are "born again" ? What about all the christian leaders in the church like bethel and co that are all committing adultery and lying and practically demon possesed they are all just going tp heaven? Please.
Another great video! Thank you pastor Joel.
Thanks!
The gospel and the bible both came from the CATHOLIC church....not the protest church and they both include MARY...not the protestant "reformers. Protestantism comes from men and just about everything they attack is found in the bible. Mary, (and honouring her) saints (and their intercession) good works, penance, confession, the Eucharist, prayers of the rosary, even carved images that adorned the Lord's temple and the Marian doctrines. This dude is slandering the Lord's church and unjustly condemning others, which will bite him in the hinder at his own judgement
It's funny how so many former protestant pastors have converted to Catholicism. Only problem with your little sermon is your spouting a word salad.
How many Protestant pastors coverted? Considering the many thousands of denominations it can't be very many, or all those many Protestant denominations you talk about wouldn't be forming still.
As a Catholic we believe that only Jesus Christ saves us. Mary or the saints cannot save us. However they can pray for us in heaven just like someone can pray for us on earth 🙏
Where in the Bible does it say that?
And you don't have any problem confessing your sins to a priest instead of Jesus. You have no problem calling the pope holy father. You have no problem calling Mary the mother of God. You never read the Bible have you? Your God is your religion not the god of the Bible.
@@cooldog60 A catholic priest actually does a cool thing called in persona Christi which means in the place of Christ. So when a person is in confession they are not talking to the priest they are literally asking Christ for forgiveness. The priest is just there to make sure you have perfect contrition, or that you are truly sorry. But you do not need confession to be forgiven, it is just a helpful tool, praying can do the same thing.
I'm not entirely sure why priests are called father because I am not catholic, but I do briefly remember hearing it is out of respect. There are instances in the bible of people in authority being called father. I will have to do more research.
Please discern and read God's word...😟 no where in the bible does it say they can pray for us. I believe you are being deceived.
@coolgamerjaw8803 "They", meaning Mary and saints.
Prayer is used to communicate to God only. Please read the bible 🙏 ❤️ God's word is truth!
To be fair, Protestants who are not Calvinists also do NOT believe that God deserves all of the credit for salvation.
Matthew 7: 1-3
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Only God has the power to judge others. Only God has the power to see the contents of our souls. Anyone who sees him or herself as God incarnate with the power to judge others will go to hell, which is accordance to God's first commandment: "You shall have no other God's before me."
When God created man, Lucifer challenged God because he judged man not to be worthy as God's creation. And now we have men who challenge God for the existence of other men just as Lucifer once did because they don't adhere to their religion. Their religion comes before God.
Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: *but he that doth the will* of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.""
1 Peter 4:8 "But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: *for charity covereth a multitude of sins."*

John 6:51-52 *"I am the living bread which came down from heaven.* If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; *and the bread that I will give, is my flesh,* for the life of the world." John 6:54-59 "Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: *Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.* As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; *so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.* This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. *He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.*
Matthew 26:26-28 "And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. *This is my body.* And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. *For this is my blood* of the new testament, which shall be shed for many unto remission of sins."
1 Corinthians 10:16-17 "The chalice of benediction, which we bless, *is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?* And the bread, which we break, *is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?* For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
1 Corinthians 11:26-29 "For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. Therefore whosoever shall *eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord* unworthily, shall be guilty of the *body and of the blood of the Lord.* But let a man prove himself: and so let him *eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice*. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the *body of the Lord."*
So you think everyone before the separation of the Catholic Church they went to hell? Lol what
No one believes that. We hold that God has always had a true catholic Church in the midst of apostasy. Those who held to Christ by faith apart from works. Read Calvin's Institutes. He deals with that very accusation.
So what was your family's excuse and yours for not reading Scripture
The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful . . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ. Catechism Of the Catholic Church
Pope St. Gregory I (died 604 AD) “The Emperor of heaven, the Lord of men and of angels, has sent you His epistles for your life’s advantage-and yet you neglect to read them eagerly. Study them, I beg you, and meditate daily on the words of your Creator. Learn the heart of God in the words of God, that you may sigh more eagerly for things eternal, that your soul may be kindled with greater longings for heavenly joys.”
Pope Clement XI (1700 - 1720) To forbid Christians to read Sacred Scripture, especially the Gospels, is to forbid the use of light to the sons of light, and to cause them to suffer a kind of excommunication.
Pope Pius VI (April 1st 1778 AD) “the faithful should be excited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures: for these are the most abundant sources which ought to be left open to every one, to draw from them purity of morals and of doctrine”
Pope Pius VII (1800 - 1823) "encourage their people to read the Holy Scriptures ; for nothing can be more useful, more consoling, and more animating, because they serve to confirm the faith, to support the hope, and to influence the charity of the true Christian."
Pope Leo XIII (1893) “The solicitude of the apostolic office naturally urges and even compels us…to desire that this grand source of Catholic revelation (the Bible) should be made safely and abundantly accessible to the flock of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius X (1903 - 1914) “Nothing would please us more than to see our beloved children form the habit of reading the Gospels - not merely from time to time, but every day.”
Pope Benedict XV (1914 - 1922) “Our one desire for all the Church’s children is that, being saturated with the Bible, they may arrive at the all-surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ”
Pope Pius XII (1943) “... This author of salvation, Christ, will men more fully know, more ardently love and more faithfully imitate in proportion as they are more assiduously urged to know and meditate the Sacred Letters, especially the New Testament ...”
Pope John Paul II (1979) “catechesis must be impregnated and penetrated by the thought, the spirit and the outlook of the Bible and the Gospels through assiduous contact with the texts themselves”
Pope Benedict XVI (2006) “I urge you to become familiar with the Bible, and to have it at hand so that it can be your compass pointing out the road to follow. By reading it, you will learn to know Christ.”
Pope Francis (2015) “The Bible is not meant to be placed on a shelf, but to be in your hands, to read often - every day, both on your own and together with others”
Gee, good thing you don’t like condescending emails, right? Anyway, I am not rebuking God’s Word, I am rebuking man’s word and, in particular, I am rebuking your word. Your fallible, man-made, non-authoritative, biased and bigoted word.
You speak of the “laughable infallible teachings of the [M]agisterium,” yet you tend to also speak as if you yourself are infallible. Do you believe your private interpretations of Scripture to indeed be infallible? And, if not, will you then admit that your private, fallible interpretations of Scripture, in regard to Purgatory and other such Catholic teachings, could be wrong? You won’t admit that, though, will you? You know why? Pride, Freddy boy...pride. You are too proud to admit that you could be wrong. That your interpretations are indeed fallible and, therefore, prone to error.
I find it less than honest that Mr. pinhead mentions particular quotes from paragraphs of the Catechism without giving any context for those quotes, and does his best to twist the meanings of those quotes.
I take it that during this time as a Christian you have not sinned even 1 time correct? Naturally due to rising to such a high spiritual level of perfection, your thoughts are totally pure and the passions cease to exist due to your total sanctification and totally pure heart. I must hand it to you, it’s one thing for a Monk to leave the world and live in constant unceasing prayer on the Holy Mountain of Mt. Anthos, but to live in the world like you do and still be able to reach such a high spiritual state of perfection that the Great Saints could never achieve deserves of crown of diamonds😊
I have been reading your comments with great interest, please dont sink to insulting this man, even though his comments may be infuriating.

@@bridgetbold6867 Ok pinhead
@@biblealone9201 Cute
YES.
you made a mistake. we do believe in sola gratia. the only sola we do not affirm are sola fide and sola Scriptura. well actually you have a few things wrong. we do believe mary needed a saviour. just because we believe she never sinned doesn't mean she did not need a saviour. Jesus preserved her from sinning in the first place. and its not just tradition. we believe in 3 pillars of the church: sacred scripture, sacred tradition, the magisterium (the college of bishops). the bible is the primary source of infallibility while the other 2 are secondary sources of infallibility. we believe in prima scripture.
Only if they are not regenerate.
Mary was preserved from sin by God. So, She was saved by God. She is co-redemptrix, because She said "yes" to God and carried salvation into the world.
I don't believe in doing any of the sacraments/ordinances. Not even water baptism or crackers and grape juice for communion. Read Colossians 2:14. "The rituals of the law have been nailed to the cross".
That is borderline heretical. Please do not reject Holy Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. They are means of grace which God has given us and in which we should partake joyfully. NORMATIVELY, one cannot be saved without the Sacraments.
BTW, this is traditional Protestant teaching.
Luke 1:34 "And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?" This was only a question because She could not have children. She could not, because she made a vow of virginity, which She kept. Also, At Her "yes" She became the faithful spouse to the Holy Ghost. Otherwise, Jesus would be illegitimate. Mary had no other children. If She had it was their responsibility to take care of her. Jesus would not have asked St. John to do it.
Hmm and where do we have it recorded of her making a vow of celibacy? 🤔 Or anywhere this was shown as a normal thing for jewish women to do? Your warped view comes from gnosticism, not the bible.
@Daniel Omitted can't you be polite and kind? Your answer is full of hate and judgemental.
I wonder after 1,500 years of Christianity..
Why would you think that you got it right?..
P.S. Christ founded Catholicism but Luther founded your religion.
Good video! This was a topic I asked my Bible teacher in my Christian high school years ago. His response was, "Not all Baptists go to heaven either" (he became a RC a couple years later). Being an ignorant 15-year-old, I though his answer was so profound. In hindsight, the real question is does Rome's doctrine deny the true gospel, and the answer to that is yes. It's man trying to impress God with, pardon my Koine Greek, σκύβαλα good works and ritual observations instead of trusting in the completed work of Christ for justification and security.
Also, does anyone know more resources on the difference between the Christian view and RC view of sanctification?
Well said.
Good Catholics will NOT be going to hell. It depends as in all faith how you live your life, giving, being good to your neighbor, etc. What about Fatima?
i've heard, yes is the answer.
wow he said they would go to hell! does this guy realize that there were no protestants for the first 1600 years!
Were the early Christians Catholic? The answer is no.
@@nykka3 the answers is yes thats all there was do some research!
@@tannerjack9520 🤦🏾♀️ NT scripture disagrees with you. I see no mention of Pope Peter, the Eucharist, use of man as an intercessor instead of Jesus.
@@nykka3 same old bullshit arguments learn history and learn what the office of pope actually stands for instead of protestant propaganda- I Remember thinking like you!
Give me one quote in the first few centuries of the bodily assumption of Mary
The scripture is the only authority on spiritual matters. Galatians itself was is about false gospels in the church at that time already. Man has never been and will never be the authority on spiritual matters. Church history is nothing.
These videos of people proclaming the other will go to hell are fun😂
Well, they're interesting. Like a grade school slap fight over which girl is the prettiest.
You intimate that Catholics have to be infused with 'the sacraments' all the time - lol. No Catholic receives all 7 sacraments. Baptism is only done once in a life time but the reason we have the Eucharist, on a regular basis, is because Christ asked us to do so (John 6:53). Am I going to listen to you or to Christ? I think you know the answer.
Christ never required the Eucharist on a regular basis, as you say, He did say to do it in remembrance of Him, but He never said do it constantly. He could have meant do it once and that's sufficient, like baptism.
Rome teaches plenty of heterodox error. But nothing heretical. Last time I checked, subscribing to the (wonderful) Five Solas isn't what saves us. It's Christ, and Christ alone. And Catholics ultimately, despite their convoluted Gospel, have Christ. Full stop.
Pastor Joel will the conference be online also?
We’ll record the sessions and release later.
The answer is no, a true catholic will never go to hell. It is harder to get to heaven as a catholic then a protestant.
They believe in the holy trinity
They believe in jesus
They are baptized
They repent for their sins in confession
Faith with works for salvation
Protestant once save always saved. All you need is belief in christ and be baptized and that is it. Say the sinners pray and your good. No matter what sin you do you already saved. You cant loose your salvation. So chatolics all ready tops it by far. If you look at it logically.
No. Answered it for you
Sorry no place does catholic Teaching say Mary is a Co redeemer😁
saved by grace alone means you don't do any works? Like repentance, forgive who against us, love the enemies, serve people. So Protestants don't do anything of these things but have faith alone can go to heaven. I don't know about that.

Catholic are far from the written scripture! Repent catholic & start reading your Bible. 🙏
All one has to do is read the Council of Trent to discover that Roman Catholicism is NOT Christianity. It is POPERY. The God of the Roman Catholic church is NOT the Jesus of the Bible. They believe in a FALSE Jesus and they sacrifice him in every mass. Clearly the scriptures teach that Jesus was crucified once for all, never to be sacrificed again. Anyone who makes another sacrifice eats and drinks damnation to themselves, denying the sacrifice that Jesus made of himself; the ONLY sacrifice that can take away sin. The trouble is, few Catholics even know their own religion. Worse, they don't believe the Gospel.
Greetings. Explain why the 1st True Christians are not Christian. We 1st True Christians believe Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all, and that sacrifices for sin are no longer needed Hebrews 9:28. God bless you.
@@Bonaparte3922 You, like most Catholics, don't even know what your church teaches. The Council of Trent declares that the sacrifice of the mass is a propitiatory sacrifice. Further, Trent declares that anyone who says that the sacrifice of the mass is only a sign is anathema. Catholicism teaches that the "host", once consecrated by the priest, becomes the literal blood, body, soul, and divinity of Jesus. Why is "transubstantiation" necessary if there is no sacrifice? It teaches that Jesus is there on the altar whole and entire to be sacrificed once again. Rome calls the mass a "perpetual sacrifice". Catholicism teaches that the Jesus on the altar is a "victim". Never once does the Bible call Jesus a "victim", so you are incorrect in your assertion that the mass is not exactly what I say it is. I've spent 25 years studying RCatholicism. I've listened to your priest's sermons. I've regularly watched EWTN. I've even listened to the Jesuits teaching on the subject. Trust me, you don't know what your church teaches. You eat and drink damnation to yourself, and so does EVERY Catholic. Worse yet, your church demands that the Protestant and Evangelical churches must come into unity with R Catholicism by means of a "common communion". You and I both know what that means. Rome demands that we all eat and drink damnation to ourselves just like you all do. Prove me wrong. Don't just repeat the same ole lying RC mantras.
@@Bonaparte3922 You bald-facedly lie to me when you say that Catholics don't make sacrifice. I've read the Council of Trent. It says that if anybody doesn't believe that the sacrifice of the mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, let him be damned. I've spent the better part of 25 years learning everything Catholic. I know your religion far better than you do. Transubstantiation is the changing of the substance of the bread and wine into the literal blood, body, soul, and divinity of Christ; the WHOLE Christ, nothing lacking, to be sacrificed (victim) once again on the altar. I've read and studied ALL your Roman Catholic Antichrist drivel and you can't BS me about what is or isn't believed or taught in your Catholic cult.
In Daniel 9:24-27 it clearly states that in the midst of the week (the 70th and final week of Daniel's prophecy) that "he" (Messiah the Prince) will cause the sacrifices and oblations to CEASE!!! To make it stick, God used the Roman Tenth Legion to raze (demolish) the temple to the ground not leaving one stone upon another! NO MORE SACRIFICES!!! It's either Jesus' one-time, all- sufficient sacrifice for sin, or you go WITHOUT!!! And from that point on, anyone who makes sacrifice, whether Jew or Catholic, eats and drinks damnation to himself.
You are NOT a Christian! You are a sacrificing Roman Catholic eating and drinking damnation to yourself while believing that you belong to the ONLY true church! I pity you. I pray that you come out of that Antichrist church ASAP; in Jesus' name I ask it.
@@Bonaparte3922 Roman Catholicism is NOT Christianity. It is Popery. True Christians acknowledge Christ as the rock and chief cornerstone of the church, not a sinful, wicked man who arrogates to himself the title, "Vicar of Christ", a most blasphemous term; a term that belongs solely to the Holy Spirit. I also know what the RCC teaches regarding the "sacrifice of the mass". Since Christ can only be sacrificed once for all, any more sacrifices, whether by Jew or by Catholic, is to eat and drink damnation to one's self and to deny the one-time, all-sufficient sacrifice for sin, for all men, for all time. Your claim defies RCC teaching, including the Council of Trent. You obviously don't know your own religion. For a Roman Catholic to say that the mass is not a perpetual sacrifice of Christ is a bold faced lie and you know it.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO Greetings. Is that an objective fact or your subjective opinion the 1st True Christians were NOT Christians. Inquisitive, can you name me any Christian (give me a name) from the 2nd century to the 12th century you agree with?
I concur 100%. The 1st and True Christians before the 15th century acknowledge Christ as the rock and chief cornerstone of the church. Yes, we 1st Christians believe that Jesus made Peter our Pope his vicar and pastor John 21:16-17.
Let me elucidate what “Vicar” means. A vicar in the Christian church is a person who stands as a representative of our God, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The early Protestant churches like Lutheran, Anglicans, and Episcopal also have Vicars.
"Sacrifice of the mass". Are you talking about the Eucharist? It’s simply a Christian Catholic ritual that commemorates the sacrifice of our God Jesus Christ on the cross. I sometimes find your message appalling and bemused. In any way, shape or form will I relinquish the Christian church my God built Matthew 16:18. God bless you
You guys have the same chance as us Catholics as to going to hell
Not every body will enter heaven wether it is catholics Protestant or some other christain
