Yes me too i learned a lot fro Father Chris teaching and his homily eventhough im watching late. And im so blessed thank you father Chris .. God bless us and the whole world..
Back in 2005 I was with my son and daughter crossing Boston post road in Springfield Ma,the Sisters from our Lady of Mercy came up to me and gave me Rosary beads and a devotion to the Divine Mercy,I have those Rosary beads and the chaplet in my hands now.yes I have been praying the Rosary every day thru Lent and will continue.if you see any of the Sisters please tell them ...This poor sinner Thanks them from the bottom of my heart.God Bless.
Thank you Father Chris. I try hard to do these 3 things everyday of my life. I pray that Jesus stays with me on my journey,to keep me on the right path to Heaven.
This was another great one Father Chris. I enjoy these little mini videos you do because you give such informative info. This helps me along in my faith as I'm one who abandoned the catholic faith before and questioned alot of things. Thank you Father Chris and please continue with your knowledge and wisdom. God Bless You 🙏🏼
@@evelynr1540 If you are baptized Catholic then marriage must be in the Catholic Church or it is invalid based on canonical form. Baptism may or may not be valid.... if it used water and the formula "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" then it would be valid.
@@evelynr1540 Dear Evelyn, sorry that it is impersonal here to explain everything and there are so many variables to the equation that I may not know.... but basically yes: All baptized Catholics (regardless of the religion of their spouse) are required to marry in the Catholic Church. Permission is given for a Catholic to marry a non-Catholic but that has to be under canonical form. Remember, I am just giving you Church teaching. But it is important because we want God blessings. God bless and know you're in my prayers.
Thank you Fr. Chris for these small clips. You always have something to teach us and to help us to be closer to GOD and to strengthen our faith. 🕊🕊🙏🙏🕯🕯🛐🛐✝️✝️
Thank you Fr Chris. Short video but filled with Truth. I love that these videos are short enough to be shared with everyone. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
Thank you Fr. Chris! I was just reading about the reformation and sola fide yesterday...I had questions and today they were answered! God bless you and your brethren and sisters! We need hard, truthful preaching these days! I've learned more from you than I have 12 years in parochial school! True teacher, disciple of God, you are!😇
*BIBLE SAYS CHRISTIANS ARE SAVED NOT BY WORKS, BUT BY FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST* ( Only unbelievers and Jews under Mosaic Law are judged by works for salvation. Romans 2. Christians are saved by grace through faith, NOT BY WORKS. Eph 2:8-9. ) ● 2 Tim 1:9 …. saved NOT according to our WORKS. ● Eph 2:8-9 … saved by grace through faith NOT BY WORKS. ● Titus 3:5 …. saved NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ● Gal 2:16 …. not justified by WORKS OF THE LAW, BUT BY FAITH IN JESUS. BY WORKS OF THE LAW, NO MAN IS JUSTIFIED! ● Rom 4:6 … Blessedness Apart from WORKS! Imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH ● Rom 11:6 … IF IT IS WORKS, IT’S NO LONGER GRACE ● John 3:16 … saved by believing in Jesus. NOT WORKS! ● Acts 16:30-31 … saved by believing in Jesus. NOT WORKS! ● Eph 2: 8-9 … salvation is a GIFT. NOT WORKS! ● Rom 4:1-2 … justified NOT BY WORKS! ● Rom 4:3 … Abraham believed (FAITH) and was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS ● Rom 4:4 … WORKS are debts ● Rom 4:5 … he who DOES NOT WORK is JUSTIFIED ● Rom 4:5 … God justifies the ungodly, ● Rom 4:5 … FAITH was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS ● Rom 4:8 … imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS apart from WORKS! ● Rom 4:9-10 … Abraham was made RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH BEFORE ANY WORKS! ● Rom 4:9-10 … Abraham received seal of RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH by imputation. NOT WORKS! ● Rom 4:11 … Promise to Abraham was through RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE FAITH ● Rom 4:14-15 … Faith is made void by works of the law, works of the Law brings Wrath, Not salvation. ● Rom 4:22 … Abraham believed (FAITH) and was accounted as RIGHTEOUSNESS ● Rom 4:22 … RIGHTEOUSNESS imputed on those who believed. Not those who WORKS! ● Gal 2:16 … justified not by Works of the Law, but BY FAITH IN CHRIST! ● Gal 2:21 … if RIGHTEOUSNESS comes through the law, then Christ died in vain. ● Gal 3:1-5 … Paul said Christians who started by faith, why end up following WORKS of law (not only Mosaic laws)? Are you made perfect by flesh (WORKS)? ● Gal 3:1-5 … Did God do miracles by your faith believing or by your WORKS of law? ● 2 Cor 5:21 … GOD made Jesus who knew no sin to become sin for us, that we might become the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. ● 1 Pet 2:24 … Christ (the Lamb of GOD) bore our sins … (NOT OUR WORKS) ● John 1:29 … Christ the Lamb of GOD who takes away the sins of the world ... (NOT OUR WORKS) ● Luke 23:43 … the thief at the Cross believed in Jesus and he was in Paradise thereafter. NOT WORKS!
terrific stuff Father!! You are a great teacher because I knew the answer to this question from your talks i've listened to in the past few months!! I'm amazed that some of it has stuck LOL God bless you and i'm always praying for you!!
As a protestant who denies faith alone, this is good stuff. Faith alone blatantly rejects the narrative of the Scriptures. From OT to NT, God judges us based on our deeds (Ezekiel 18:30 and Galations 6:7-9 are two of many examples). Praise God who fills us with the holy spirit to empower us to good deeds and has written the law on our hearts.
Speaking as a convert - keep digging, with open mind. Zillions of miracles from Saints (intercessions, not by themselves), but it shows what holiness and intense prayer can do, not merely arm-waving Hillsong songs. And, 152 Eucharistic Miracles that confirm John 6 and 1 Cor 10-11, especially 1 Cor 11:27. Bread cannot bring "judgement" but sacrilege can, and sacrilege means it is on real Body & Blood of Christ. God bless you.
Faith is all there is . And trusting in the Lord . Miracles begin when one follows the Rose Pedals to the Heart. With prayers and Saints. Thank you Father
Faith is a gift fromGod. My thoughts are that works and service is an extension and outward sign of this gift. It is a gift given back for the love of our Father. When we become in union with the love of God we hopefully will not do it out of fear but out of love to God and our neighbors. I think that is a goal in life is to become God’s light and love for the world so we can share in it forever in Heaven. Love never fails! God bless everyone.
This was another bomb ! Keep teaching us ! I do hope Our Lord will give eyes to see and ears to hear to many Protestants . I do recommend more people share these videos with uninformed people about our faith. God bless ,in these dire times 💖👍✌
I have read Romans 3:28 so many times. And yes, we are saved by faith without the deeds of the law. But what is faith in romans 3:28? And what is deeds of the law in Romans 3:28?? You have to understand what it is first. When reading Paul’s epistle, you have to be careful when reading “”faith”” and “”works””. If you go one verse above of 28 which is obviously 27, it says. Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. It is asking what law excluded boasting. ((Sorry for caps)) BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS?? So there is a law of works. It is also called the law of Moses, commonly called “the law”, most popular version is the Old Testament. NAY, but by the LAW OF FAITH. SO IN 28, it explains that for us to be saved, we just follow the LAW OF FAITH or LAW OF CHRIST and we don’t need to follow the deeds/works of the law which is the law of Moses. Even if you follow the law of Moses strictly, but not the law of Christ, your salvation is not guaranteed. If you continue reading Romans 3 to the end, it talks about the law being established which is the law of Christ. You can link this verse to Ephesians 2:8-9 we are saved through faith. THROUGH FAITH, and NOT BY FAITH. Which means we have to follow the law of Christ. AND NOT OF YOURSELVES because people think what they are doing is enough. Some people say, “I go to church every Sunday, that’s enough”” no it’s not enough. God gave us RIGHTEOUSNESS TO FOLLOW as found in Ephesians 2:10. NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should BOAST. BOASTING WAS EXCLUDED IN ROMANS 3:27 by the law of faith. We are saved by the law of faith ALONE and not by the law of works. But we need to work for our salvation. Phi 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
"Faith without action is dead." - 'Rewards' are gained by works. - ROMANS 9:16 - "So then, everything depends, not on what we humans want or do, but only on God's mercy." - Reference: Good News Bible GNT
When I listen to comments like that one and many more, I respond that the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, was founded by Jesus, and is the church described in the Bible. As expected, people will throw all sorts of objections, but so far nobody has told me that it is in fact their church and not the Catholic Church.
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Titus 3:5 Works of righteousness or works of the law dont save you or keep you saved. Once you are saved (by trusting Jesus Christ) you are always saved. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37 God will not cast you out under any circumstance. Now thats what I call grace.
Faith Without Love Of God With All Your Strength, With All Your Heart And With All Your Soul And Love Your Fellow Human Being As You Love Yourself, Your Faith Has No Meaning. Your Faith Goes With Your Good Work! Live And Let Live In The Lord Your God Who Created You! Thst's Faith And Good Work!
Thank you father Chris. Well said!!! It actually wouldn't make sense to pro claim to be a Christian and go thru life never doing anything to help or pray for anybody ! But this reminds me of Sol Allinsky(?) I think that's his name. Who was a self proclaimed devil worshipper. A Berkeley University professor who had far left radical ideas; and yet fought for the poor both politically and by works. Very bizarre. But makes me wonder what God did with him!? Just a thought .
Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer, father of deceit and destruction. He was a communist. Communists claim to care about the poor. But they don't and never have. Look at how major corporations and billionaires like George Soros and Tom Steyer promote communist ideas -- political correctness and "woke" culture. Democrats stopped caring about poor and working class Americans a long time ago. People who care about working class Americans don't advocate importing millions of competing workers into the country. Only rich people who want cheap labor do that.
Hey father Chris make a movie about The book of Life is there a name written in the book of life is very important people should know if it is their name written in the book of Life please make a movie in UA-cam
Amen to this father. As opposed to the born again from the Protestant origin, who insist that good works are not needed to be saved. Their favorite example is the thief on the cross who was instantly saved by Jesus when he said that He had not sinned unlike the two of them crucified with Him.
Christ be with you 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. (john 14:12) God bless you
Christ be with you Gods Grace is a free Gift. His forgiveness is given freely yet we must labour to enter Gods rest Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Heb 4:11) for fear of falling short Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Heb 4:1) To receive the free gift St Paul tells us those under Grace must reject sin and live in righteousness as slaves to God so they may be sanctified and at its end eternal life (Rom 6:15-23) It is given to us freely by God because we do not have the Currency to pay for it and Christ pay it for us not that we are not expected to work to receive it. God bless you
Amen Father🙏👍! James 2:17 " faith without works IS DEAD"! James 2:18 " you say you faith, I will show you the works behind my faith"! The " faith alone" Martin Luther heresy is for those who want to sit on their couches watching tv, say " praise the Lord" and expect to get into Heaven, Baloney! Amen Mathew 25:31 lets get to work and be sheep, lets not be idle goats, Amen🙏
If all that is good comes through the grace of God, surely our willingness to be good comes through grace. If we suppose we can muster it ourselves, without God, that puts us in competition with God, which would be blasphemy.
Yes, very true.... thank you. I was just addressing Rm 3:28 which talked about faith and works, but I should have mentioned grace. Yes, nothing happens without God's grace.
I have read Romans 3:28 so many times. And yes, we are saved by faith without the deeds of the law. But what is faith in romans 3:28? And what is deeds of the law in Romans 3:28?? You have to understand what it is first. When reading Paul’s epistle, you have to be careful when reading “”faith”” and “”works””. If you go one verse above of 28 which is obviously 27, it says.

YES! Nailed it! Bible reading Catholic here.. Protestants often say Catholics don't know their bible, and it's kind of true. I've recently coming to the conclusion the same can be said about protestants.. They repeat what they are told passages mean while being told, "we go by what the bible says" The Lord has been helping me understand this..the works that Paul talks about are the works of the old law. He was one of those workers of the law his entire life, everything he knew until he met Christ was about the law. Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles, but he also addressed Jews who were learning to change everything they understood. James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? Talks about a faith that is evident when you act upon your faith. And yes there is another Law, the law that matters, the law of Jesus, a law of love. 100% and he warns about the consequences of not acting on that faith and obeying that law.
When Paul talks about the works of the Law, he is also referring to the moral law also, and not just the customary Jewish laws. Romans 3:20 For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law. Two points from the above passage: 1). No one is saved by the works of the law, hopefully you and I can agree on that, and 2). the law reveals our sin. The customary laws can’t reveal sin. Wearing mixed fabrics and eating unclean foods don’t reveal sin. The moral law, aka the ten commandments reveal our sin. Paul expands on this a lot further in Romans 7. Romans 7:7;11-12 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet…For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. So whenever Paul mentions the works of the law, he is referring to the entire Mosaic law, including the moral law which includes love because Jesus said the entire Law can be summed up in loving God and loving others.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv Paul was addressing what the Jusaisers were doing. Following behind Paul teaching gentile converts "Torah keeping" in addition to believing in Christ for salvation. teaching gentiles in order to be saved, they had to be circumcised follow all the customs and traditions in order to be saved. They still exist on youtube today. It is expressed multiple times in scripture, moral law would have to be kept by the gentiles as well, and those who did not keep it, would not see the kingdom. If you agree the Lord's grace is for the repentant sinner, you should understand, but if you think an unrepentant sinner can be saved by simply believing Jesus is who He is, then we are in disagreement. James said even the demons believe in Jesus.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv if there needed to be a law to show man's sin..what sin? The moral laws are universal. There was no, "do not kill law" command before Cain killed Abel, yet Cain was cursed. Man kind was wiped out in the flood for their evil ways. The moral law always existed. The Mosaic law was to serve as a teacher until Christ, who would write the moral laws on our hearts
@@dashriprock5720 Sure, torah keeping includes circumcision, and that was the main problem of the Galatians, but again, not getting circumcised doesn’t reveal your sin, as Paul says the law in Romans reveals sin. Thou shalt not covet is not a customary law from the Torah. It was a moral law, by which Paul also says no person shall be justified by (Rom 3:20). Yes, we agree that one has to have repentance. But being repentant over sin isn’t what saves us. Many people when converting to Christianity are repentant of their sins. Many people who become Christians aren’t repentant of their sins, and God has to correct them through the Holy Spirit in order for them to be repentant. Me personally, when I was first saved, there were sins I immediately gave up, and certain sins I still thought was okay and justifiable until the Holy Spirit corrected me and led me to repentance from those sins. The point is that if we know we are sinners, absolutely unable to redeem ourselves, yet place our trust in Christ to save us, then we are justified by God’s grace. That’s why faith is more than believing Jesus is who He says He is, but rather trusting in who He is and what He did in His death, burial, and resurrection to save us. Obviously, works should naturally follow our faith, as faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26), but we can’t say that our deeds contribute to our entry into the kingdom of God, even if we say salvation is by both faith and works according to official Catholic doctrine, because if we mix even a bit of works into the Gospel, no matter how much emphasis we place on faith, it’s still in some way a salvation by works. This is exactly what Paul said in Romans 11:6, Romans 11:6 Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv I never suggested we are justified by anything more than the grace of God and what Christ did on the cross. But you are 100% wrong about catholicism being a works based doctrine. Living in the faith requires obedience. If you choose to live in willful disobedience, you will pay the price.. and that's all I have to say to you about that. You have been indoctrinated with prejudice.

Hi Father, Do you have a link 🔗 of the other video of why Jesus is still on the cross in the Catholic faith. I actually had a Protestant say that to me before for the first time and I never heard that anti-catholic criticism before and I didn't know what she was talking about or what she meant and I would like to hear your explanation.
The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is a popular means by which many in the religious world have been deceived into believing they have obeyed the will of God and live under the presumption they are disciples of Christ. While the doctrine has been around for many years, Billy Graham did much to propagate the idea of salvation by faith alone. He writes, "Those who surrender their lives to Him and receive Him into their hearts. It is this act which makes you a Christian" (My Answer, 9/15/55). Pulpits throughout the land offer an invitation of false hope when honest people are seeking the way of salvation. What they are given is a doctrine of men that is not found in scripture. Martin Luther said, "We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone." While he played with semantics, Luther suggested in opposition to the works salvation of the Roman Catholic Church that one had simply to have faith to be saved. Neither is true (salvation by works alone; salvation by faith alone) and yet many people are still being led to believe that accepting Christ as their Savior and Lord is all it takes to "make" a Christian. Remarkably, the only place in the Bible (all sixty-six books) that "faith" and "alone" is found is written by James in James 2:17 - "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James 2:17 - King James Version). The American Standard Version renders the passage, "Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself." Martin Luther believed that James contradicted what Paul wrote but it never changed the truth of Paul's writings nor James because "no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (II Peter 1:21). Not one example of a person becoming a New Testament disciple by "faith alone" is found in scripture. There are many examples of conversion (Acts of the Apostles) but none are told to say "yes" to Christ and at that moment experience the new birth. Does eternal life begin the moment we accept Christ as Savior and Lord? Not according to the Bible. Why do so many people believe in such a doctrine when there is no evidence of teaching in the word of God? The great tragedy of the doctrine of salvation by faith alone is the deception it brings to the hearts of those who honestly are seeking the truth of deliverance from sin and in the mind of God fail to achieve that blessing. Why? The apostle Paul warned Timothy of the dangers of the doctrines of men. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (II Timothy 4:3-4). The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is a falsehood. Is faith necessary for salvation? "Without faith it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6). What did Peter tell those gathered on Pentecost (Acts 2:36-41)? What instructions were given the Samaritans in Acts 8:5-13? How did the Ethiopian become a disciple of Christ (Acts 8:35-38)? How did Paul explain his conversion (Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-21)? Cornelius found the truth in Acts 10 as did Lydia in Acts 16:13-15; the jailor in Acts 16:25-34 and the Corinthians in Acts 18:8. What must you do to be saved today? Follow the same pattern as found in the New Testament. That is the only way to be a Christian (Luke 6:46-49).
Hi my name is Miguel i have a coworker he's Presbyterian he says this about the Original sin he says that God erased it himself on Génesis and our Baptism doesn't erase the original sin from Adam and eve help me answer him about this
I have read Romans 3:28 so many times. And yes, we are saved by faith without the deeds of the law. But what is faith in romans 3:28? And what is deeds of the law in Romans 3:28?? You have to understand what it is first. When reading Paul’s epistle, you have to be careful when reading “”faith”” and “”works””. If you go one verse above of 28 which is obviously 27, it says. Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. It is asking what law excluded boasting. ((Sorry for caps)) BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS?? So there is a law of works. It is also called the law of Moses, commonly called “the law”, most popular version is the Old Testament. NAY, but by the LAW OF FAITH. SO IN 28, it explains that for us to be saved, we just follow the LAW OF FAITH or LAW OF CHRIST and we don’t need to follow the deeds/works of the law which is the law of Moses. Even if you follow the law of Moses strictly, but not the law of Christ, your salvation is not guaranteed. If you continue reading Romans 3 to the end, it talks about the law being established which is the law of Christ. You can link this verse to Ephesians 2:8-9 we are saved through faith. THROUGH FAITH, and NOT BY FAITH. Which means we have to follow the law of Christ. AND NOT OF YOURSELVES because people think what they are doing is enough. Some people say, “I go to church every Sunday, that’s enough”” no it’s not enough. God gave us RIGHTEOUSNESS TO FOLLOW as found in Ephesians 2:10. NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should BOAST. BOASTING WAS EXCLUDED IN ROMANS 3:27 by the law of faith. We are saved by the law of faith ALONE and not by the law of works. But we need to work for our salvation. Phi 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Dear Randy, God creates life, but he gives us free will as our choices can be made within his commandments or not. Universalism is a heresy just so you know. God bless you and keeping you in prayer.
I had this same Q Father. I'm Catholic by the way. Why would God allow someone to be born non Christian ? Its not that person's fault. He then grows up following his own faith. Not his fault he didn't have Christ in his life. I have other questions too which I will put together later as I'm currently procastinating getting back to my work😁
Hello everyone. Please come to God. He can save us. We need to repent and be Baptized, into a truly Biblical Church. The Holy Spirit can lead us to the truth. We can know the Spirit by testing the Spirits and getting to know God through the Bible. We need to put our faith in Jesus Christ and do the will of God to be saved. Tomorrow is uncertain and anything can happen, we need to choose forgiveness and Grace and salvation now because only God can give it to us Jesus is the only way. May God bless you all, and lead you in the Truth!
Thank you Chance.... you mention coming to a "truly Biblical Church" but Do you know where the Catholic faith comes from? At the time the bible was canonized in the Fourth century, there were many "gospels" in circulation: the gospel of Peter, the gospel of Thomas, the gospel of Mary, etc. So who decided these books were not inspired, but Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were? The answer is the Catholic Church at the councils of Carthage and Hippo in 393 and 397AD. You can’t accept the Bible and reject the authority (guided by the Holy Spirit) from which it came. It comes from the Jews, who had the same three legs of their faith as we do: Scripture, Tradition and a Magisterium. The Bible itself does not proclaim Sola Scriptura and in fact speaks against it in the last paragraph of the Gospel of John. Paul emphasized that we are to hold fast to the traditions being taught, both oral and written. These are Apostolic traditions, not man-made traditions. You also cannot accept the Bible and reject the authority from which it came. God bless. This talk will help explain things for you... ua-cam.com/video/sx-qIvG-c9M/v-deo.html
Titus 3:5 King James Version 5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Christ be with you yes we can not be saved by our works of they are not the price of our sin death is and it was paid for by Christ, forgiveness given through his mercy. But do not mock God by thinking you will have eternal life without Good works. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Gal 6:7-9) God bless you

@@Mason-1611 Christ be with you It seems your answer to scripture is simply to pretend some verses don't exist An interesting if somewhat flawed approach. you quote verses that tell us we must believe in Jesus 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. (John 14:12) Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. (1 John 5:1-2) Scripture tell us what this means and what we will do In regard to 1 Corinthians 1:7-8 you missed a crucial verse Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: the testimony of Christ is his teaching. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 9-11) This is the Law of Christ that St Paul talks about in the verse I gave you. (Gal 6:1-10) not really sure what you mean by 1 Tim 1:12 but here is what St Paul teaches Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:8-14) the Law can not make us righteous but if we are to attain the resurrection, once we have receive God forgiveness we must be perfect living according to Christ Law> you say "I’ve been born again and can’t be unborn" What a strange term you can certainly die again Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Rom 6:16) God bless you
@@MrKev1664 “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.” Acts 13:38-39 KJV “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV “being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:24-28 KJV “knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” Galatians 2:16 KJV
@@MrKev1664 “But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:” Romans 3:21-22 KJV “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4 KJV “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-10, 13 KJV
👉The book of Romans and James talked about the same LAW since both of them used: SACRIFICING ISAAC as WORK. 👉When James said Abraham was justified by WORKS, surely it was not BEFORE GOD, but it was BEFORE MEN. James 2:23 👉Now, when Paul said in ROMANS that ABRAHAM was justified BUT NOT BEFORE GOD. He was referring to GOOD WORKS (obedience of Abraham). Paul said Abraham was justified by FAITH alone before GOD. Romans 4:2-3 ❤️Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the DEEDS of the law. Romans 3:28
The woman could be quoted with Matthew 25, the parables of Jesus and even the letter of Saint James. I understand that Jesus words have more weight than Saint Paul's words. But as Father Aler mentions, not even her Saint Paul quote was correct. Evangelicals tend to pay more attention to Saint Paul and the old testament than to Jesus, which is sad.
Well, you can try to follow the commands but Jesus reveals in Matthew 19:16-30 that following the commandments is an impossible task... That's why Jesus did it for us.
Also, Jesus said to St Faustina " Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion . I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy (On Sunday after the Resurrection). If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Diary 965. Thus Jesus himself distinguishes between His redemption of us (His crucifixion and death), and our salvation (our choice to live a life of mercy! If we don't choose to adore His mercy - we will perish - even though we have already been redeemed by Him!
Well at least what you’re saying is congruent. The Protestant church contradicts itself and says “Jesus’ resurrection is what saves you. But also if you’re not Holy you can’t enter Heaven. And if the Holy Spirit is truly in you, you’ll just easily be Holy” ... which I guess makes sense? But it makes me feel extremely frustrated to think about even trying to be Holy?
It has never made any sense to me that you can achieve Heaven and eternal life simply by faith in God. What are we supposed to do during this earthly life then? It doesn’t matter how we behave towards each other? It seems a bit of a cop out to me!
Faith is NOT a checkbox like "yeah I believe in Jesus." Remember, if you love Him you OBEY His commandments and gospels. So it is an "active faith." Also remember the parable of a rich young man? asking how to go to Heaven? then Jesus enumerated most of the Commandments? So it is not a check box that by believing you are saved. 👍
John 3.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 6.47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me HATH EVERLASTING LIFE. Ephesians 2.8 For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: 9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.
But works of love are still works of the law. The Mosaic Law teaches to LOVE your neighbor as ourselves. So, any act of love toward another is a work of the law. And how do we “love our neighbor”? If we were to ask our neighbors if they believe that we love them as we love ourselves, would they testify before God on our behalf? And, I hate being the bearer of bad news but it does not require faith in God to love our neighbor. There are many loving people in the world who reject the existence of God. I’m not saying that I believe that acts of “love” toward others are a bad thing. Just don’t think you’re gaining points with God be doing them. Do them because you want to and not for any reward or pat on the back you believe God owes you. God bless.
@@DivineMercy_Official Sure, but the Law of Moses isn’t restricted to the customary laws of the Israelites. Romans 3:20 For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law. Two points from the above passage: 1). No one is saved by the works of the law, hopefully you and I can agree on that, and 2). the law reveals our sin. The customary laws can’t reveal sin. Wearing mixed fabrics and eating unclean foods don’t reveal sin. The moral law, aka the ten commandments reveal our sin. Paul expands on this a lot further in Romans 7. Romans 7:7;11-12 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet…For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good. So whenever Paul mentions the works of the law, he is referring to the entire Mosaic law, including the moral law which includes love because Jesus said the entire Law can be summed up in loving God and loving others.

@@evelynr1540 If you are baptized Catholic then marriage must be in the Catholic Church or it is invalid based on canonical form. Baptism may or may not be valid.... if it used water and the formula "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" then it would be valid.
@@evelynr1540 Dear Evelyn, sorry that it is impersonal here to explain everything and there are so many variables to the equation that I may not know.... but basically yes: All baptized Catholics (regardless of the religion of their spouse) are required to marry in the Catholic Church.

terrific stuff Father!! You are a great teacher because I knew the answer to this question from your talks i've listened to in the past few months!! I'm amazed that some of it has stuck LOL God bless you and i'm always praying for you!!
As a protestant who denies faith alone, this is good stuff. Faith alone blatantly rejects the narrative of the Scriptures. From OT to NT, God judges us based on our deeds (Ezekiel 18:30 and Galations 6:7-9 are two of many examples). Praise God who fills us with the holy spirit to empower us to good deeds and has written the law on our hearts.
God bless you for being open to the truth
Speaking as a convert - keep digging, with open mind. Zillions of miracles from Saints (intercessions, not by themselves), but it shows what holiness and intense prayer can do, not merely arm-waving Hillsong songs. And, 152 Eucharistic Miracles that confirm John 6 and 1 Cor 10-11, especially 1 Cor 11:27. Bread cannot bring "judgement" but sacrilege can, and sacrilege means it is on real Body & Blood of Christ. God bless you.

Thank you. Very good to hear your message and explanation.
Thanks for watching Helen.... God bless you!
Faith is a gift fromGod. My thoughts are that works and service is an extension and outward sign of this gift. It is a gift given back for the love of our Father. When we become in union with the love of God we hopefully will not do it out of fear but out of love to God and our neighbors. I think that is a goal in life is to become God’s light and love for the world so we can share in it forever in Heaven. Love never fails! God bless everyone.
Thank you MK and we are grateful you are with us in this faith journey. God bless you!
Awesome. Thank you Fr. God bless.❤
Please include my daughter in your prayer. She's a frontliner and asymtomatic of covid.🙇

Surely if faith does not have love it must be imperfect. We as individuals have work to to do as well as Christ's loving redemptive act.

This was another bomb ! Keep teaching us ! I do hope Our Lord will give eyes to see and ears to hear to many Protestants . I do recommend more people share these videos with uninformed people about our faith. God bless ,in these dire times 💖👍✌
Yes, salvation comes from God's grace and our cooperation with it.
i have more faith then i know what to do with, Father Chris
Praise God :)
Thank you, Fr. Now I'll be able to explain to my Protestant friends about our Catholic believe.
Yes, we need to know our faith better to love it better. God bless.
Amen🙏❤️
I wish protestants would understand this, as it is so important!
Yes, prayers for the true to be known. God bless.
Even Catholics doesn’t understand this too.
I have read Romans 3:28 so many times. And yes, we are saved by faith without the deeds of the law.
But what is faith in romans 3:28? And what is deeds of the law in Romans 3:28?? You have to understand what it is first.
When reading Paul’s epistle, you have to be careful when reading “”faith”” and “”works””. If you go one verse above of 28 which is obviously 27, it says.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
It is asking what law excluded boasting. ((Sorry for caps)) BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS?? So there is a law of works. It is also called the law of Moses, commonly called “the law”, most popular version is the Old Testament.
NAY, but by the LAW OF FAITH.
SO IN 28, it explains that for us to be saved, we just follow the LAW OF FAITH or LAW OF CHRIST and we don’t need to follow the deeds/works of the law which is the law of Moses.
Even if you follow the law of Moses strictly, but not the law of Christ, your salvation is not guaranteed. If you continue reading Romans 3 to the end, it talks about the law being established which is the law of Christ.
You can link this verse to Ephesians 2:8-9 we are saved through faith. THROUGH FAITH, and NOT BY FAITH. Which means we have to follow the law of Christ.
AND NOT OF YOURSELVES because people think what they are doing is enough. Some people say, “I go to church every Sunday, that’s enough”” no it’s not enough. God gave us RIGHTEOUSNESS TO FOLLOW as found in Ephesians 2:10.
NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should BOAST. BOASTING WAS EXCLUDED IN ROMANS 3:27 by the law of faith.
We are saved by the law of faith ALONE and not by the law of works. But we need to work for our salvation.
Phi 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Amen Father
Amen 🙏
"Faith without action is dead." - 'Rewards' are gained by works. - ROMANS 9:16 - "So then, everything depends, not on what we humans want or do, but only on God's mercy." - Reference: Good News Bible GNT
Romans 3:28. Oh I wouldn't know that too. Father, other Christians memorize verses. That's their way of challenging catholics.
You should memorize verses too. Reading the scripture is a must for all Christians. They did their homework, you should too.
When I listen to comments like that one and many more, I respond that the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, was founded by Jesus, and is the church described in the Bible. As expected, people will throw all sorts of objections, but so far nobody has told me that it is in fact their church and not the Catholic Church.
@@mayvelynbalo8288 sadly, they voluntarily reject Jesus' Church.. there is enough space for them, but they think their "ark" is better than Jesus'
What about the Orthodox church? They had the same Bible too.
@@mayvelynbalo8288 ohh yes... that's very clear in the Bible... and for those that don't know where to find it, is on Matthew 18
NOPE! We are NOT PROTESTANTS nor Evangelicals!!!!!!!!
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:5
Works of righteousness or works of the law dont save you or keep you saved. Once you are saved (by trusting Jesus Christ) you are always saved.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:37
God will not cast you out under any circumstance. Now thats what I call grace.
Thank you and don't forget the entire chapter of Matthew 25 and the book of James. God bless
Also read the full epistole Titus 3
Faith Without Love Of God With All Your Strength, With All Your Heart And With All Your Soul And Love Your Fellow Human Being As You Love Yourself, Your Faith Has No Meaning.
Your Faith Goes With Your Good Work!
Live And Let Live In The Lord Your God Who Created You!

So they changed the word "law" to alone...talk about man made religion
Error, and it's acceptance, is a primary cause of potential damnation....
The irony right?
Many still believe servant is greater than a master
Thank you father Chris. Well said!!! It actually wouldn't make sense to pro claim to be a Christian and go thru life never doing anything to help or pray for anybody ! But this reminds me of Sol Allinsky(?) I think that's his name. Who was a self proclaimed devil worshipper. A Berkeley University professor who had far left radical ideas; and yet fought for the poor both politically and by works. Very bizarre. But makes me wonder what God did with him!? Just a thought .
Yes, prayers for him.....
Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer, father of deceit and destruction. He was a communist. Communists claim to care about the poor. But they don't and never have. Look at how major corporations and billionaires like George Soros and Tom Steyer promote communist ideas -- political correctness and "woke" culture. Democrats stopped caring about poor and working class Americans a long time ago. People who care about working class Americans don't advocate importing millions of competing workers into the country. Only rich people who want cheap labor do that.
Is it alright to ask Jesus for the same thing every night during prayer?
Yes; Jesus himself encourage it. Luke 11:5-13. Keep asking if it is something you really desire.
Yes, and maybe include the intention that if it is in accord with His Holy Will.
Yes
Hey father Chris make a movie about The book of Life is there a name written in the book of life is very important people should know if it is their name written in the book of Life please make a movie in UA-cam
Amen to this father. As opposed to the born again from the Protestant origin, who insist that good works are not needed to be saved. Their favorite example is the thief on the cross who was instantly saved by Jesus when he said that He had not sinned unlike the two of them crucified with Him.
JESUS, SAID BLESSED.....ARE THOSE WHO NOT SEE BUT BELIEVE ?
Christ be with you
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. (john 14:12)
God bless you
Salvation is a free gift from God you can't earn it
Yes, but you have to cooperate with the grace.
Christ be with you
Gods Grace is a free Gift.
His forgiveness is given freely
yet we must labour to enter Gods rest
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (Heb 4:11)
for fear of falling short
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. (Heb 4:1)
To receive the free gift St Paul tells us those under Grace must reject sin and live in righteousness as slaves to God so they may be sanctified and at its end eternal life (Rom 6:15-23)
It is given to us freely by God because we do not have the Currency to pay for it and Christ pay it for us not that we are not expected to work to receive it.
God bless you
Amen Father🙏👍! James 2:17 " faith without works IS DEAD"! James 2:18 " you say you faith, I will show you the works behind my faith"! The " faith alone" Martin Luther heresy is for those who want to sit on their couches watching tv, say " praise the Lord" and expect to get into Heaven, Baloney! Amen Mathew 25:31 lets get to work and be sheep, lets not be idle goats, Amen🙏
Yes, we strive to serve God as his sheep. God bless
If all that is good comes through the grace of God, surely our willingness to be good comes through grace. If we suppose we can muster it ourselves, without God, that puts us in competition with God, which would be blasphemy.
Yes, very true.... thank you. I was just addressing Rm 3:28 which talked about faith and works, but I should have mentioned grace. Yes, nothing happens without God's grace.
@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you. I'm glad you agree.
I have read Romans 3:28 so many times. And yes, we are saved by faith without the deeds of the law.
But what is faith in romans 3:28? And what is deeds of the law in Romans 3:28?? You have to understand what it is first.
When reading Paul’s epistle, you have to be careful when reading “”faith”” and “”works””. If you go one verse above of 28 which is obviously 27, it says.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
It is asking what law excluded boasting. ((Sorry for caps)) BY WHAT LAW? OF WORKS?? So there is a law of works. It is also called the law of Moses, commonly called “the law”, most popular version is the Old Testament.
NAY, but by the LAW OF FAITH.
SO IN 28, it explains that for us to be saved, we just follow the LAW OF FAITH or LAW OF CHRIST and we don’t need to follow the deeds/works of the law which is the law of Moses.
Even if you follow the law of Moses strictly, but not the law of Christ, your salvation is not guaranteed. If you continue reading Romans 3 to the end, it talks about the law being established which is the law of Christ.
You can link this verse to Ephesians 2:8-9 we are saved through faith. THROUGH FAITH, and NOT BY FAITH. Which means we have to follow the law of Christ.
AND NOT OF YOURSELVES because people think what they are doing is enough. Some people say, “I go to church every Sunday, that’s enough”” no it’s not enough. God gave us RIGHTEOUSNESS TO FOLLOW as found in Ephesians 2:10.
NOT OF WORKS, lest anyone should BOAST. BOASTING WAS EXCLUDED IN ROMANS 3:27 by the law of faith.
We are saved by the law of faith ALONE and not by the law of works. But we need to work for our salvation.
Phi 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
YES! Nailed it! Bible reading Catholic here.. Protestants often say Catholics don't know their bible, and it's kind of true. I've recently coming to the conclusion the same can be said about protestants.. They repeat what they are told passages mean while being told, "we go by what the bible says"
The Lord has been helping me understand this..the works that Paul talks about are the works of the old law. He was one of those workers of the law his entire life, everything he knew until he met Christ was about the law. Paul is the Apostle to the Gentiles, but he also addressed Jews who were learning to change everything they understood.
James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? Talks about a faith that is evident when you act upon your faith.
And yes there is another Law, the law that matters, the law of Jesus, a law of love. 100% and he warns about the consequences of not acting on that faith and obeying that law.
When Paul talks about the works of the Law, he is also referring to the moral law also, and not just the customary Jewish laws.
Romans 3:20
For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.
Two points from the above passage: 1). No one is saved by the works of the law, hopefully you and I can agree on that, and 2). the law reveals our sin. The customary laws can’t reveal sin. Wearing mixed fabrics and eating unclean foods don’t reveal sin. The moral law, aka the ten commandments reveal our sin. Paul expands on this a lot further in Romans 7.
Romans 7:7;11-12
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet…For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
So whenever Paul mentions the works of the law, he is referring to the entire Mosaic law, including the moral law which includes love because Jesus said the entire Law can be summed up in loving God and loving others.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv Paul was addressing what the Jusaisers were doing. Following behind Paul teaching gentile converts "Torah keeping" in addition to believing in Christ for salvation. teaching gentiles in order to be saved, they had to be circumcised follow all the customs and traditions in order to be saved. They still exist on youtube today. It is expressed multiple times in scripture, moral law would have to be kept by the gentiles as well, and those who did not keep it, would not see the kingdom. If you agree the Lord's grace is for the repentant sinner, you should understand, but if you think an unrepentant sinner can be saved by simply believing Jesus is who He is, then we are in disagreement. James said even the demons believe in Jesus.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv if there needed to be a law to show man's sin..what sin? The moral laws are universal. There was no, "do not kill law" command before Cain killed Abel, yet Cain was cursed. Man kind was wiped out in the flood for their evil ways. The moral law always existed. The Mosaic law was to serve as a teacher until Christ, who would write the moral laws on our hearts
@@dashriprock5720 Sure, torah keeping includes circumcision, and that was the main problem of the Galatians, but again, not getting circumcised doesn’t reveal your sin, as Paul says the law in Romans reveals sin. Thou shalt not covet is not a customary law from the Torah. It was a moral law, by which Paul also says no person shall be justified by (Rom 3:20).
Yes, we agree that one has to have repentance. But being repentant over sin isn’t what saves us. Many people when converting to Christianity are repentant of their sins. Many people who become Christians aren’t repentant of their sins, and God has to correct them through the Holy Spirit in order for them to be repentant. Me personally, when I was first saved, there were sins I immediately gave up, and certain sins I still thought was okay and justifiable until the Holy Spirit corrected me and led me to repentance from those sins. The point is that if we know we are sinners, absolutely unable to redeem ourselves, yet place our trust in Christ to save us, then we are justified by God’s grace. That’s why faith is more than believing Jesus is who He says He is, but rather trusting in who He is and what He did in His death, burial, and resurrection to save us.
Obviously, works should naturally follow our faith, as faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26), but we can’t say that our deeds contribute to our entry into the kingdom of God, even if we say salvation is by both faith and works according to official Catholic doctrine, because if we mix even a bit of works into the Gospel, no matter how much emphasis we place on faith, it’s still in some way a salvation by works. This is exactly what Paul said in Romans 11:6,
Romans 11:6
Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.
@ChristIsLordofAll-xb6xv I never suggested we are justified by anything more than the grace of God and what Christ did on the cross. But you are 100% wrong about catholicism being a works based doctrine. Living in the faith requires obedience. If you choose to live in willful disobedience, you will pay the price.. and that's all I have to say to you about that. You have been indoctrinated with prejudice.

Hi Father,
Do you have a link 🔗 of the other video of why Jesus is still on the cross in the Catholic faith.
I actually had a Protestant say that to me before for the first time and I never heard that anti-catholic criticism before and I didn't know what she was talking about or what she meant and I would like to hear your explanation.
I found it thank you Father!!!
ua-cam.com/video/IaxCLAIliE8/v-deo.html
Great, thank you and God bless.
The truth, your taking words out of the Bible.
Words that refute your man made tradition of 'sola fide' (by faith alone):
See that a man is saved by works, and NOT by faith alone. James 2: 24
Hi i'm from germany and I dont know what the Book of James means in german can you help me out?
And what the name of the song in the backround?
Can someone please explain what works of love exactly means? Not looking for a debate, just a definition.
Thank you. Works of love and acts of love are the same thing. Anytime we actively love God or love our neighbor. God bless
The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is a popular means by which many in the religious world have been deceived into believing they have obeyed the will of God and live under the presumption they are disciples of Christ. While the doctrine has been around for many years, Billy Graham did much to propagate the idea of salvation by faith alone. He writes, "Those who surrender their lives to Him and receive Him into their hearts. It is this act which makes you a Christian" (My Answer, 9/15/55). Pulpits throughout the land offer an invitation of false hope when honest people are seeking the way of salvation. What they are given is a doctrine of men that is not found in scripture.
Martin Luther said, "We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone." While he played with semantics, Luther suggested in opposition to the works salvation of the Roman Catholic Church that one had simply to have faith to be saved. Neither is true (salvation by works alone; salvation by faith alone) and yet many people are still being led to believe that accepting Christ as their Savior and Lord is all it takes to "make" a Christian.
Remarkably, the only place in the Bible (all sixty-six books) that "faith" and "alone" is found is written by James in James 2:17 - "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James 2:17 - King James Version). The American Standard Version renders the passage, "Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself." Martin Luther believed that James contradicted what Paul wrote but it never changed the truth of Paul's writings nor James because "no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God" (II Peter 1:21).
Not one example of a person becoming a New Testament disciple by "faith alone" is found in scripture. There are many examples of conversion (Acts of the Apostles) but none are told to say "yes" to Christ and at that moment experience the new birth. Does eternal life begin the moment we accept Christ as Savior and Lord? Not according to the Bible. Why do so many people believe in such a doctrine when there is no evidence of teaching in the word of God?
The great tragedy of the doctrine of salvation by faith alone is the deception it brings to the hearts of those who honestly are seeking the truth of deliverance from sin and in the mind of God fail to achieve that blessing. Why? The apostle Paul warned Timothy of the dangers of the doctrines of men. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (II Timothy 4:3-4). The doctrine of salvation by faith alone is a falsehood.
Is faith necessary for salvation? "Without faith it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6). What did Peter tell those gathered on Pentecost (Acts 2:36-41)? What instructions were given the Samaritans in Acts 8:5-13? How did the Ethiopian become a disciple of Christ (Acts 8:35-38)? How did Paul explain his conversion (Acts 9:1-19; 22:1-21)? Cornelius found the truth in Acts 10 as did Lydia in Acts 16:13-15; the jailor in Acts 16:25-34 and the Corinthians in Acts 18:8.
What must you do to be saved today? Follow the same pattern as found in the New Testament. That is the only way to be a Christian (Luke 6:46-49).
yes....

Dear Randy, God creates life, but he gives us free will as our choices can be made within his commandments or not. Universalism is a heresy just so you know. God bless you and keeping you in prayer.
I had this same Q Father. I'm Catholic by the way. Why would God allow someone to be born non Christian ? Its not that person's fault. He then grows up following his own faith. Not his fault he didn't have Christ in his life. I have other questions too which I will put together later as I'm currently procastinating getting back to my work😁
@@melissafeds1344 We are judged by God based on the grace he has given us. To whom much is given, much is expected.
Hello everyone. Please come to God. He can save us. We need to repent and be Baptized, into a truly Biblical Church. The Holy Spirit can lead us to the truth. We can know the Spirit by testing the Spirits and getting to know God through the Bible. We need to put our faith in Jesus Christ and do the will of God to be saved. Tomorrow is uncertain and anything can happen, we need to choose forgiveness and Grace and salvation now because only God can give it to us Jesus is the only way. May God bless you all, and lead you in the Truth!
Thank you Chance.... you mention coming to a "truly Biblical Church" but Do you know where the Catholic faith comes from? At the time the bible was canonized in the Fourth century, there were many "gospels" in circulation: the gospel of Peter, the gospel of Thomas, the gospel of Mary, etc. So who decided these books were not inspired, but Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were? The answer is the Catholic Church at the councils of Carthage and Hippo in 393 and 397AD. You can’t accept the Bible and reject the authority (guided by the Holy Spirit) from which it came. It comes from the Jews, who had the same three legs of their faith as we do: Scripture, Tradition and a Magisterium. The Bible itself does not proclaim Sola Scriptura and in fact speaks against it in the last paragraph of the Gospel of John. Paul emphasized that we are to hold fast to the traditions being taught, both oral and written. These are Apostolic traditions, not man-made traditions. You also cannot accept the Bible and reject the authority from which it came. God bless. This talk will help explain things for you... ua-cam.com/video/sx-qIvG-c9M/v-deo.html

5 NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

yes we can not be saved by our works of they are not the price of our sin death is and it was paid for by Christ, forgiveness given through his mercy.
But do not mock God by thinking you will have eternal life without Good works.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

It seems your answer to scripture is simply to pretend some verses don't exist
An interesting if somewhat flawed approach.
you quote verses that tell us we must believe in Jesus
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. (John 14:12)
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. (1 John 5:1-2)
Scripture tell us what this means and what we will do
In regard to 1 Corinthians 1:7-8 you missed a crucial verse
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
the testimony of Christ is his teaching.
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. (2 John 9-11)
This is the Law of Christ that St Paul talks about in the verse I gave you. (Gal 6:1-10)
not really sure what you mean by 1 Tim 1:12 but here is what St Paul teaches
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:8-14)
the Law can not make us righteous but if we are to attain the resurrection, once we have receive God forgiveness we must be perfect living according to Christ Law>

if you do not FOLLOW the commandments of the Lord....soon will loose your faith
LOSE, YES TRUE!
Well, you can try to follow the commands but Jesus reveals in Matthew 19:16-30 that following the commandments is an impossible task... That's why Jesus did it for us.
Also, Jesus said to St Faustina " Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion . I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My Mercy (On Sunday after the Resurrection). If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Diary 965.
Thus Jesus himself distinguishes between His redemption of us (His crucifixion and death), and our salvation (our choice to live a life of mercy! If we don't choose to adore His mercy - we will perish - even though we have already been redeemed by Him!
Yes, Inez.....
Matthew 32 is the sheep and the goat passage.

P.S they should confront Luther now, if that would be possible....🤣🤣✝️
He's been well confronted by God Himself.......May God have mercy on his soul.....
*Roman Church apologised to Luther and made a statue of Luther in honour of him. So what do you think?*
Well at least what you’re saying is congruent. The Protestant church contradicts itself and says “Jesus’ resurrection is what saves you. But also if you’re not Holy you can’t enter Heaven. And if the Holy Spirit is truly in you, you’ll just easily be Holy” ... which I guess makes sense? But it makes me feel extremely frustrated to think about even trying to be Holy?
It has never made any sense to me that you can achieve Heaven and eternal life simply by faith in God. What are we supposed to do during this earthly life then? It doesn’t matter how we behave towards each other? It seems a bit of a cop out to me!
Yes, we need God's grace and then to cooperate with it.
Faith is NOT a checkbox like "yeah I believe in Jesus."
Remember, if you love Him you OBEY His commandments and gospels.
So it is an "active faith."
Also remember the parable of a rich young man? asking how to go to Heaven? then Jesus enumerated most of the Commandments?
So it is not a check box that by believing you are saved.

Thank you but nobody's boasting about them. Our Lord just says in Matthew 25 and James throughout his book that works of love are required
But works of love are still works of the law. The Mosaic Law teaches to LOVE your neighbor as ourselves. So, any act of love toward another is a work of the law.
And how do we “love our neighbor”? If we were to ask our neighbors if they believe that we love them as we love ourselves, would they testify before God on our behalf? And, I hate being the bearer of bad news but it does not require faith in God to love our neighbor. There are many loving people in the world who reject the existence of God. I’m not saying that I believe that acts of “love” toward others are a bad thing. Just don’t think you’re gaining points with God be doing them. Do them because you want to and not for any reward or pat on the back you believe God owes you. God bless.
Thank you but that's incorrect. The 613 precepts of the Jewish law are different from the works of mercy and love. God bless
@@DivineMercy_Official So, you're saying that "love your neighbor as yourself" is not in the Law of Moses?
@@DivineMercy_Official Sure, but the Law of Moses isn’t restricted to the customary laws of the Israelites.
Romans 3:20
For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.
Two points from the above passage: 1). No one is saved by the works of the law, hopefully you and I can agree on that, and 2). the law reveals our sin. The customary laws can’t reveal sin. Wearing mixed fabrics and eating unclean foods don’t reveal sin. The moral law, aka the ten commandments reveal our sin. Paul expands on this a lot further in Romans 7.
Romans 7:7;11-12
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law. For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet…For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me. So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
So whenever Paul mentions the works of the law, he is referring to the entire Mosaic law, including the moral law which includes love because Jesus said the entire Law can be summed up in loving God and loving others.
