You should honestly have millions of views, I will show this to my catechism students.
Haha probably because my life is so unorganized and I have no semblance of a release schedule or consistency in general. Pray for me, and thank you for the support.
@@DefenseofSanity Don't let any of that discourage you, blessings.
This is really helpfull for converting my protestant friends, saludos desde Argentina!

Defend the Catholic Faith. Another Nice 1 topic. I salute.
Good job bud
Amazin video
Additionally, the Greek word that modifies Mediator used in that verse (heis), “One”, has a slightly different definition than the Greek word author could have used (monos), “One”, or “Sole/Only one”. Heis can mean “Primary, or first in a succesion/line” of Mediators. I found that quite convincing.
(Double check my spelling of the Greek)
Excellent, God bless. Only the proud and the bad willed reject truth.
I find many non-catholics fail to distinguish between agent and agency. Christ is always the sole Agent, or as the bible puts it; the sole Mediator. The 'How' or Agency of that mediation can be many-fold. For example I can only think of very very few people who have had the Gospel given to them directly by Jesus or had it infused into their intellect. The vast majority or 99.999999% of us either heard it preached to us or read the bible. Thus the preacher or the bible itself mediated the gap between unbelief and God with Christ still being the sole mediator; but we see He could use either of those agencies to accomplish His mediation. Most people want to pretend they are so pure intentioned and holy that they are already standing in the immediate presence of God; and become offended if you point out the vast gap that still exists for nearly all of us. I am glad such videos as yours are helping to clarify these points for both un-catechized catholics and non-catholics alike. Keep the Faith.
Paul teaches to pray for one another, not to any other than God.
exactly emphasis on the for one another not to one another
Saints and clergy are part of the Body of Christ. Good video.
In v.1, "δεήσεις" is better translated "petitions" and "ἐντεύξεις" is better translated "requests." Even if "ἐντεύξεις" does mean "intercession," arguing that it is intercessory prayer is eisegesis.
Hoping to see some lively and warm discussion in the comments!
I’m curious about how the various offices in the church described in 1 Corinthians are automatically also considered intercessors or mediators if we just take the verse at face value.
As far as I can tell, they are not true offices, but roles or gifts that people are called to. So they don’t have formal occupants and successors.
No Protestant is against praying for others. What is not scriptural is when Catholics pray to the dead or idolize Mary as a mediator between man and Christ.
Every one of your mediators has to go through Jesus the true mediator. We pray in Jesus name for others, the Holy Spirit delivers that prayer to Jesus, and Jesus mediates with the Father.
Bro why did you stop recording?You get a lot of people hope and trust in God.
Imagine a "Pope" saying he might be speaking heresy then saying it anyway... OH WAIT WHAT'S THIS!?
Asking people on earth to pray for us has a strong Biblical basics, asking the Heavenly saints or Mary to pray has no Basics whatsoever.
Do you believe that those who are apart of the Body of Christ are divided by death?
@@stewartcollins948 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago;
neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6
Thats dont mean for died persons
The problem is worshiping the saints, you should not pray to saints, those saints are dead and can't hear a single prayer. Worship, and pray to Jesus the Savior and life Giver.
If they can't hear like you said " Explain to me how come Jesus spoke to Moses and Elijah. Matthew 17 verset 2 until 3. " Jesus Talks with Moses and Elijah
17 Six days later, Jesus took Peter, James, and John, the brother of James, up on a high mountain by themselves. 2 While they watched, Jesus’ appearance was changed; his face became bright like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. 3 Then Moses and Elijah[a] appeared to them, talking with Jesus. So another word, Moses is dead, don't you agree? so how come Jesus is talking to dead people? Jesus said I am the way and life even in death if you believe in me, you will have eternal life.
Moses and elijah are prophets who will come back again at the end,it has been prophesied before ,but no apostles came back ,no body elsecame back ,
@@drnirmal8348So you need every dead person to come back to prove your point?
Moses and Elijah were alive and communicated with Jesus.
Jesus didn’t say “don’t ever do what I just did.”
Pastors, teachers, etc are there for baby Christians
To point them to Christ and show them the goodness of Christ
Goodness of Christ is..
He made everyone one as kings and priests
Whether you like it or not.
Out of kings and priests designation.some operate more as pastors,teachers etc
Thats what Paul mean
Example if I can have access to my home directly,why I need to use my neighbour fence to jump into my house
So baby Christians doesn't know what to do?
So pastors teachers etc they will educate them
And teach them that they got direct access to God
Through Christ.
But we are not making any confessions to earthly priest
And rely on earthly pastors to do some thing for you...looks silly
Only you need them to teach how you can get directly to God by yourself.
Wen you got that revelation you teach others,you become a teacher,pastor or Apostle
And you teach others not to depend on you...
But show the direct way that there is only one mediator between man and God
Which is Christ Jesus
All other sources of Paul mentioned should point and direct to Christ but sources should not become something you practice whole life....bcze you are a priest
You are a king
Sources are there to learn and move on...
It should not become a traditional activity
👉👉REVELATION 5:8 Jesus, the one mediator, receives the prayers of the saints which are offered to him. This scripture is in both the Catholic AND protestant versions of the bible, yet is ignored by protestants. Here's a few more scriptures they ignore:
➨ INTERCESSION OF MARY & THE SAINTS IN THE BIBLE ...INCLUDING BIBLICAL PROOF that SAINTS ARE NOT AMONG THE DEAD:
The Protestant claim that we are forbidden to speak to / pray to Mary and the saints is NOWHERE in the Bible. In fact, the following scriptures were copied (by me) directly from the Protestant version of the Bible: ...
➨INTERCESSION of a holy person on our behalf:
● JOB 42:8 8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams, and GO TO MY SERVANT JOB, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and MY SERVANT Job SHALL PRAY FOR YOU, FOR I WILL ACCEPT HIS PRAYER NOT TO DEAL WITH YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FOLLY; for you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has.
➨INTERCESSION of MARY:
● JOHN 2:1 At the wedding feast at Cana, it was Mary who asked Jesus to help the wedding party.
➨The KING Honours his mother's request:
● 1 KINGS 2:20: Then she said, “I have one small request to make of you; do not refuse me.” And the king said to her, “Make your request, my mother, for I will not refuse you.”
(Jesus is the Greatest King and he also honours his mother's requests)
➨INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS:
● REV 5:8 The prayers of the Saints are offered to Jesus the lamb.
SAINTS ALSO WORKED MIRACLES:
➨ JOHN 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
➨ PAUL RAISES A MAN FROM THE DEAD:
● ACTS 20:7-12
9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.20:
● MARK 6:12-13...
12 They went out and preached that people should repent.
13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.
● ACTS 19:12 The Handkerchief of Paul healed sick people:
12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
● ACTS 5:15 The shadow of Peter healed the sick:
so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.
➨SAINTS ARE NOT AMONG THE DEAD: AND THEIR INTERCESSION IS BIBLICAL: They share in the ressurrection of Jesus: (Protestants attack Biblical saints while they follow dead reformers)
● MATTHEW 27: 52 -53: When Jesus was raised from the dead Many were raised up with him. 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
● LUKE 23 v 39-43...Jesus told the good thief "today you will be with me in paradise"
● REV 19 v 14...when Jesus returns he will be accompanied by his heavenly armies of saints.
● 2 COR 5 v 8...Paul tells us that to be absent with the body is to be with the Lord.
● JOHN 11 v 25-26...Jesus said I am the ressurrection and the life, he who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives, believing in me will never die.
● LUKE 1619-30 The story of the rich man and Lazarus show The Rich man, Lazarus and Abraham, all concious and interacting with each other even though they have physically died.
● LUKE 9:30-31 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
(Moses & Elijah were alive, and were yalking with Jesus)
● REV 6:10 The souls of the martyrs are before the throne of God, crying out for justice. (they are conscious and actively petitioning God)
● HEB 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
● MATT 17:1-13 ...At the Transfiguration of Jesus, he is seen speaking to Moses and Elijah, further showing that Holy ones of God are not among the dead.
● JUDE 1:14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints
Richard Bennett, who was a Catholic Priest for over 20 years, says in his testimony "I saw from the Bible (I Timothy 2:5) that the role I was playing as a priestly mediator, *exactly what the Catholic Church teaches* but exactly opposite to what the Bible teaches, was wrong." He directly admits that he was taught to have a special mediating authority that belongs to Jesus alone (the way they hear confessions and perform absolutions is a special kind of authority that none of the other types of people you've describe have). Frankly, this answer is just mental gymnastics that Catholics use on Protestants. Intercession is done by all people, but this is not just what Priests do, and Catholics pray to the Mary and dead saints for mediation on their behalf when they should pray to God alone.
*"He directly admits that he was taught to have a special mediating authority that belongs to Jesus alone (the way they hear confessions and perform absolutions is a special kind of authority that none of the other types of people you've describe have)."*
Very interesting Bennett says that the power of Confession and Absolution is Jesus' alone considering that Jesus quite explicitly gives the Apostle's the authority to forgive sins. This is something straight out of Scripture:
"Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.” When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”" (John 20:21-23)
Unfortunately, the likes of Fr. Bennett and many others are a result of the Church's poor catechesis and seminaries. Fr. Bennett to me, seems like someone who adopted fundementalist views, and uses his authority as a priest to be indicative of the Church's teachings as a whole. But that is not the case. Fr. Bennett was simply wrong, and there are plenty of people within the Church who have called him out on it.
@@Cklert I'm not going to waste time having another long comment section debate. Suffice to say, your "proof text" is well known to Protestant apologists and they have answers for it, and there are still plenty of other passages that Catholics have to worm their way around.
@@therealhardrock Yes, run Protestant run.
@@MarvelGamer2023 Keep thinking whatever you want.

👉👉👉 @ u protestants: ...👉👉👉REVELATION 5:8 Jesus, the one mediator, recieves the prayers of the saints that are offered to him. ....HELLOOOOO...."bible believing christians" (protestants) skip over, reject and ignore all scriptures that back catholic doctrines, preferring instead to follow Martin Luther's made up doctrine of "scripture alone" even though he changed
And the pope has the power to allow atheists Muslims gays into heaven and kick out non Catholic followers of Jesus Christ from heaven… 👎
Matthew 23:9
King James Version
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
You’ve never CALLED anyone on earth Father?
Fundamentalism will jam you up every time.
You really think you're the first Prot to bring forth this low IQ argument?
Wow this is Muslim level of interpretation. Praying to the saints is using them as mediators to God which is not what Paul is teaching. Pray for your brother to God. There is not one verse in the Bible where any apostles teach for you to pray to saints.
