For those who brings the good news. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, religion are never peaceful. You'll always have fractions that's thinks they knows better. So a relationship with our lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the ultimate price.
The Roman Catholic Church removed the second commandment from the original ten commandments. The second commandment "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” was replaced with "You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God in vain." I wonder why they did that? Could it be that Catholics have been indoctrinated to believe that the use of statues, relics, and other articles is acceptable and even necessary for worship?
@@Shskfjekdnf38587 God’s Ten Commandments from Exodus 20… 2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” (Exodus 20:4) “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (Exodus 20:5) “And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:6) The Catholic Ten Commandments… 2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God in vain. (Exodus 20:7) The Catholic Church’s Ten Commandments is a modified version of Exodus 20. It is not the same thing, but a very slim down version of the real deal. They took a lot of details out of the true commandments of God, along with removing a commandment all together. Replacing God's 2nd with God's 3rd commandment is very deceitful and has set up the members to sin against God for over a thousand years.
@@geo6740 The Exodus and Dueteronomy verses pertaining to the Ten Commandments are in the Catholic Bible. There are two commonly used versions of the Ten Commandments which have different numbering. The Church and the the Lutheran Confessions use one by Augustine and the Orthodox and Refomed communities use the one your community uses. There is a paragraph addressing this in The Catechism of the Catholic Church as well as an entire section discussing all of the Commandments.
@@teresaemmerth5625 The substance of the 2nd addresses the distinct and highly significant question of the proper worship of the one true God. Tagging the 2nd to the end of the1st in the Catholic ten commandments is misleading and helps it ... disappear. The RCC had good reason to downplay the 2nd since they violate it every time they pray to and worship Mary and the dead saints. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above" and “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God." If you walk into any Catholic Church, you will finda variety of different idols that they bow down to on a daily basis. You will find an altar to Mary and her statue which people bow down to and light candles for. Also, the RCC has different degrees of worship...dulia, hyper dulia, and latria. Dulia is the honor given to the saints. Hyper dulia is the honor given to Mary alone and Latria is the honor given to God alone. In contrast, the Bible always ascribes honor, in the context of worship, to God alone. Even if there were biblical support for different levels of worship, there still would be no biblical support for offering lower or lesser levels of worship to anyone other than God.
@@geo6740 I do not see how preserving the Scriptures, which contain the Decalogue , for centuries and dedicating several paragraphs of the catechism to the First Commandment downplays it or helps the prohibition against Idol worship to dissappear.
Mike and Jane, how thankful we are for your ministry. I am deeply grateful to you and John MacArthur for such clear teaching. I love how you let scripture interpret scripture. Gods word is alive and active…sharper than any two edged sword. The truth can be known, indeed it can, and scripture says so. We can trust it because it’s God-breathed. I came out of the Roman Catholic religion when I went to university. I had gone to church throughout my childhood with my parents, devout Catholics and my sister. I never had any joy or peace. No matter how good I was, what I did ,I could never do enough. God was remote. But…. I read the Bible and saw for myself that He can be known through Jesus Christ and serving Him and sharing the wonderful news of the gospel is what I love to do. Jesus set me free! The life I now live is a joyful one, even in the the midst of trials and challenges because the Lord will use them for his glory and our good. We live in a broken world but Jesus overcame death, sin and suffering and we will too! We will rise and be with Him forever. He is my righteousness, dying the death I deserved and living a perfect life I could never live. One of my favourite verses is For there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Makes you leap for joy, doesn’t it!
Catholics are with Christ...... Mr Gendron preaches lies to build his own fan base and $$$$$ -- He has had his reward in this world !!

You are clearly a lost soul, all protestant bibles are heretical texts, and Catholic church doctrine is based on Old Testament and New Testament Bible Scripture and sacred tradition. How did the devil get his claws into your soul?
Thank you Grace for your Holy Spirit filled reply. Ignore the ugly comments from the jealous who resent your freedom and wish you back under Catholic bondage again. It is modern day pharisaism with pagan goddess worship blended in.

Keep on preachingthe truths of God's words Brother Gendron. Catholics are so brainwashed by Rome from an early age that they have closed their eyes. Maybe if more of them read God's words alone without Rome's distortions and additions they would come to real repentance and salvation found in Christ alone.
@@1234poppycat Catholics think they are with Christ. But it's a different Christ than the one in the Bible. They don't know the real God and the real Christ. They only know what they were taught by the men in long robes. Catholics don't read the Bible because the men in long robes don't want them too. There has never been a worse enemy to the word of God than the RCC. The men in long robes have fought for centuries to keep the word out of the hands of regular people.

Sorry Mike incorrect. Since its creation the Catholic church has never baptised (immersed) any person because of their confession of faith in the redemptive blood sacrifice of the Messiah on the cross for their sin. The sprinkling of water on the fore heads of unbelieving babies has its origin in the sungod, Baal worship. Where the ucharist has its origins from. The sun simbole.. Read. The Reformers stepchildren and The two Babilon's by Alexander Hislop.
I left Catholicism a few years ago, God led me to the Gospel through the work of a number of pastors. The reality of the situation is, they are all non-denominational. The Church as it stands, Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox are all Amillennial in their Eschatology. That immediately throws a Red flag for me. Thank God I found those men.
@@michaelaratnam6517 God uses faithful pastors ,who adhere to his word alone, to save his predestined saints. The church of God is the church that adheres to sola scriptura . That is certainly NOT the rcc that teaches a false gospel ( works) (infused grace) and saint worship. Even the liturgy of eucharist is not biblical but it is actually witchcraft! The RCC is satans greatest accomplishment. He has made billions of people who are twice children of hell.

+Tree “Big Ox” Uchia Yea if you like being lied to its great.... too bad there is barely a fraction of actual Catholic teaching in anything Mike says we teach. Most of the stuff that Mike says we teach, the Catholic Church actually teaches the opposite.
So, they don''t teach to reverence mary; that you need to works and that there is a place called purgatory; that Mary can barder for your soul and "ask Jesus to save your soul from hell"; there isn't a false saint hood based on no biblical truth or tradition? hmm...seems about right to me. But its okay to believe what you want.
+Tree Uchia No, the Church does teach reverence towards Mary but that is not what Mike Gendron said. You can write one sentence of truth that actually came out of his mouth but please follow up with all the other BS Mike said so that we get a clear picture of the conclusion that Mike was attempting to paint. You can't just deal in partial truths. You can sound byte Catholicism all you want, but in the end, it isn't accurate. But you probably don't care because you hate Catholicism so much. Its like Protestants like to add "except when talking about Catholicism" after the commandments "thou shalt not lie" and "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor". The Church does not teach that Purgatory is a place, but rather is a state of being. And I suppose you can assume that Mary asks Jesus to save our souls from hell - but it is not the Church's doctrine that Christ sends us to hell. Rather, it is a choice we make in the presence of Christ - to reject Him upon our death. It goes against the nature of an all loving God to willingly separate Himself from His creation. And really, sainthood is false. So explain to me, where do you get that? Especially considering saints have been venerated in the Church starting with St. Peter due to the extensively documented rituals of Jewish tradition honoring their dead. So explain to me, where do you get your theology? Is it from a heretical, scrupulotic, and bigoted monk who tried to throw out 3 books of the NT but couldn't find a convienent excuse like he did with the OT? Or maybe from King Henry VIII, who determined with his pastor that he could continue his affair with Anne Boleyn? Or maybe it was John Calvin who decided he didn't like Martin Luther and so he just went up and started his own church for the hell of it. NONE of the reformers even claimed to have had any divine inspiration! At least that would give them an ounce of credibility. But funny thing is, that all of the five solas had never, ever been taught in all of human history up until Martin Luther. It was literally never heard of until then!!! So to say that the biblical writers intended on that interpretation of the Bible is completely false! Your ideas of Christianity have become so diluted that it is shameful. I literally don't know how anyone can be a Protestant. There are 40,000 denominations all thinking they are correct when none of them are and they were all borne from a heresy.
***** And the Catholic Church does NOT teach works. It teaches faith AND works. Why do Protestants always forget the faith part? You comment on 50% of the theology and then pass that off as adequate. If you got 50% on a test, do you pass? Its ridiculous. Of course, the Church teaches that because its in the Bible!! Look at James 2:24. How can you even attempt to interpret that passage as anything but works and faith??????? And when Paul comments on works and faith in his letters, do you notice that after works he ALWAYS writes, "of the law"?? So what law could he be referring to? Since Paul was Jewish, don't you think he was probably referring to the Mosaic Law? I mean there is a reason that sola fide had literally never been heard of for 1,500 years! It doesn't make any sense and isn't biblical to begin with!

3:40 and on: intro to 5 solas these are the "pillar of christian faith, if one of them crumbles, the whole church crumbles." Just a thought: if the Catholic church compiled the Christian Bible 300 years or so after Christ's time on earth, then what did early Christians use as scripture prior to the Bible being compiled? (answer: OT which was already compiled by the Jews (thank you) and the gospels and letters, maybe even more, that made it to the multiple congregations of the time. Some letters didn't make the cut to be called inspired scripture.)) Using an abbreviated version (66 books) vs the one compiled, is taking away from the whole 'inspired' word of God. Other fun facts: the Bible was handwritten until...1455. Still expensive to own personally (at the time). The Catholic Church also had a reformation (that didn't cause a split). It was called the 'counter-reformation'. Jesus didn't give us the Bible/Scriptures. He didn't give us a book or letters, he barely (of all that is recorded) wrote anything. He gave us Men. Traditions. The Holy Spirit.
John Mathews The Bible is very clear. After Jesus’s Resurrection, and the Apostle’s died, there could be no more traditions. I don’t know how Catholics can say they follow Scripture? Again the Bible is so clear, “Do not add or subtract from My book!” Than He listed the punishments for such a grave offense! All respected teachers today, warn us about the errors of Catholicism. The one true Antichrist church.
@@richardurban2269 for clarity sakes, can you point out where in scripture it is clear on your points? I rather have verse references and not take your word. Thanks. What did catholics (add or subtract) from the Scripture? Again with reference. Thanks.
@@johnmathews4698 Thank you for your reply! This is a long post because you rightfully, asked for references. First, I don’t know if you have ever read the Bible? I suspect not. One day you will, and it will be so amazing! I read the Bible for the first time a little over two years ago. I am 57 now. I went to Catholic school for 8 years, and practiced Catholicism for 42 years, and never missed mass. Had my 3 children baptized as infants and did the other sacraments, including marriage as well. Just days after being Born Again, I picked up the Bible, and could not believe it! How could I have read this book for 55 years and not realized how incredible God’s Word was! You are now, where I was, with no true understanding of God’s Word. I can prove it to you, with a very simple question. If you get the question right, I will admit I was wrong. No Catholic has ever gotten it right yet. The question: Who is/was the Bible written for? Follow up question: Did God create an incomplete Bible? Ok, to your reply: I told you only Jesus and his disciples made the traditions. Let’s take a look at Scripture to see if what I said is true? 1 Corinthians 11:2 “Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.” In this verse God, (Speaking through Paul) was happy with the traditions because the true believers (Those in Christ Church. Notice I did not say Catholic Church!) we’re following (Maintaining) the traditions that Paul DELIVERED. The word delivered is past tense! Let’s look at a verse in Thessalonians: 2:15 “So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions THAT YOU WERE TAUGHT BY US, either by our spoken word or by our letter.” Taught by us, (Us, being the Apostles) Again past tense. Nothing says it better than Colossians: 2:8 “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, (Satan) and not according to Christ.” Do those verses sound like God wants humans to create their own traditions? It clearly says the only true traditions come from Christ! The Apostles did not just “Make up” traditions, they were according to Christ! Those are the first clues that God wants HIS traditions followed; however, God goes deeper into this topic, and absolutely could not be more clear of what He thought about human traditions. Here are a few: Jesus own words, “You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.”” Mark 7:8 “He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?” Matthew 15:3 “he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.” Matthew 15:6 ESV “And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!” Mark 7:9 ESV If you were Any of the 4 Gospel writers, after hearing Jesus say those words, would you than think to yourself, “You know what? What we really need to do is start up our own religion, (All religions do this, not just Catholicism) with our own new traditions!” You asked, “What did Catholics add or subtract from the Bible?” When religions create their own new “Rules” isn’t that adding to Scripture, or said another way, isn’t it changing the Bible, as God clearly warned against? For example, the Bible makes it extremely clear (1 Timothy 3) that God wanted the overseer’s (Pastors/priests) to be married, with a honorable family, and to be capable of living an honorable way of life. Read 1 Timothy 3 and tell me if Catholicism is following God’s wishes for Catholic priests? Didn’t Catholicism add: (Partial list) * Purgatory * Transubstantiation * Assumption of Mary * Infant baptism * Confirmation * Annulment * Catechism * Mass * Nuns * Graven images (Lot and lots of those!) Catholics essentially deleted the most important part of the Bible (John 3) which gives us the requirement necessary to get to Heaven. (Born Again) My brother a genius and a diehard Catholic for 60 years, said to me, “What is this Born Again thing you keep talking about?” A friend of mine was choosing Scripture for his Catholic friend’s wedding, and he told the priest he wanted to read from John 3, the priest refused his request, saying “Sorry you cannot use that Scripture” I can prove how screwed up Catholicism is by asking this question, (Pretend I am a a potential new Catholic, curious about Catholicism) and I say, “What do I need to do, to go to Heaven?” What would you tell me? Be honest.
@@johnmathews4698 To be fair and transparent, I will give you the correct answer as to how to get to Heaven. If a Catholic person says to me, “Richard, how can I get to Heaven?” I say, “Follow the original Ten Commandments, in Exodus 20. Love Christ with all your heart and soul, and ask God for forgiveness. In other words, repent, turn away from sin. Do this in such a way that you don’t even think of sin. Jesus said, ‘If you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery in your heart.’ Than, If you are truly sincere, the Holy Spirit (Your ride to Heaven) will dwell inside of you, forever. The Holy Spirit will teach you everything that is true and nothing that is a lie and you will not need anyone to teach you. (1 John 2:27) Once this occurs, your life will change completely! (Born Again) You will naturally start producing ‘Good works’ that come from the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit will manifest inside of you, teaching you EVERYTHING you need to know, and encouraging you towards righteousness. (Sanctification) Btw, you will know when the Holy Spirit is in you, because you will have the overwhelming desire to tell others about Christ, and sin will disgust you. You will be regenerated! That’s it! That’s how you get to Heaven! That is the true Gospel!” John, Does it say anywhere that I must join a religion and follow its rules? Nope! Is it required that I go to church? Nope! Do I need to follow anything from any religion? Nope! Do I need anything more than the Bible? Nope! You think about what you have been taught in your religion. Is it anywhere close to the Gospel that I just presented? Nope! Catholicism made up an entirely new and unbiblical gospel. In fact, after listening to the true Gospel, the one I just presented to my imaginary Catholic friend, you will probably be embarrassed to tell your version of the Gospel? But go ahead, give it a try.
@@richardurban2269 sorry reallllllly long I can really tell you are excited about Jesus! Here is a little background on me: I have read most of the Bible, and can google it pretty well. I grew up with the Gospel, born again, and as an Elder’s kid. 20+ years of that, my life was stagnant, hearing the same things over and over again and no growth, no further understanding developing. I will first ask my questions and then answer yours! How do you define tradition? You use it a lot and I would like to know your view of it.
How do you worship God? Do you have a verse reference for your previous post on no more traditions after the Apostles? Answers: The Bible is two parts: Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament is derived from the Jewish text called the Septugiant. This text was translated from Hebrew into Greek around 300BC and was the text that Jesus and Crew grew up with, studied, and referenced in his ministry. The New Testament was compiled around cannonized late 300AD but many historians can see that a lot of (today’s) NT was used and citied earlier than that. The NT consists of Witness Accounts of Jesus ministry and letters to Christian communities. Early Christian leaders went and established churches, leadership traditions that were to continue on. WHO was the bible written for: the letters were written for those particular communities. The Witness Accounts (gospels) were written, I believe, because the Apostles were getting old and wanted to tell others after their death through writings. Luke was written to Theophilus (1:3) The truth that is in those letters can be good for Christians today! Did God create an incomplete Bible? NO! However, not everything Jesus did is contained in the Bible (John 21:25) The traditions that were delivered (1 Cor 11:2) are not detailed. 2 Tim 2:22 mentions an oral message that is to be transmitted to others (but what was it?) God doesn’t want human traditions interrupting His! The Christ appointed Apostles and the traditions that they set into motion….are they still in motion (is something still a God ordained tradition?) I say yes! 1 Timothy 3 does say married. It doesn’t say they HAVE to be married. Jesus touches on this in Matthew 19:12. Paul was a single Church leader (1 Cor 7:8) Catholic priest and celibacy: I don’t see a contradiction biblically. Partial List: yes these words are not IN the text of the Bible, but the IDEA of these words are in text of the BIble. Purgatory: has Jewish roots going to 2 Maccabees (it’s in the Septuagint) and praying for the dead. 1 Cor 3:13 mentions a purging. Transubstantiation: the idea that bread and wine change into the body and blood of Christ. Ok. sounds odd, but a matter of Faith. John 6:53 (eat or die!) Luke 22:14 and on (do this in remembrance of me) Assumption of Mary: I am still learning about Jesus’ mother! Infant Baptism: what is wrong with this? As the God appointed Leader of my Family, why would I deny my child from being a part of God’s family? Households in the NT were baptized. (does this include babies? Doesn’t say) Confirmation: Peter and John confirmed new Christians in Acts 8:14-17 Could this be a tradition that continues today? Annulment: I assume you are talking about marriage? Catechism: so having a book that takes all the parts of a subject and groups it together is a bad thing? Mass: what?!? The Road to Emmaus: Luke 24: 13-35. The two disciples had some sort of understanding of what happened (13-25), then Jesus walks them through the Scriptures (the Septuagint)(v25-27). They wanted more, strongly urged him to stay! In verse 30 he breaks and blesses the bread, and their eyes were opened! Faith comes from hearing the Word of God (Romans10:17) Mass itself is a huge topic but all the parts of Mass are in the Bible! Nuns: you have a problem with women that want to serve the Lord? Graven Images: yes a bad thing. Very bad. Get rid of GRAVEN images. Graven: an idol or representation of a god used as an object of worship. Statues of Saints, Mary, Jesus, crucifix etc are not objects of worship. (they are not God). John 3: Born again with Nicodemus! Baptism with water is easy. Hear the word of God, have faith, get dunked. (Acts 8:26-40). How does one get baptized with the Spirit (John 3:5)?The freewill of the Holy Spirit to come down and immerse believers can happen anytime! (Acts 10:44, Acts 2:4) Can a confirmation process by God’s appointed and passed down through time and tradition be one? (Heb 6:2, Acts 8:14-17, Acts 9:17, and Acts 19:6) How to get to Heaven? Take the stairs not the highway. It’s not a check the box, I’m guaranteed a slot beyond the pearly gates. Believe in Jesus as the Christ.:: means understanding the history of Jews. Be Baptized.. Cause its model multiple times in the OT (and Jesus told us to!) Go and Make disciples (Mat28:19) means understanding who Jesus is! Join a religion? Upto you I suppose. God chose His people in the Old Testament and gave them rules to follow, and that was too hard for them (even with extra laws to protect them from God’s law!) Jesus came from this people group (Jews). He came though as the Savior for his created world! I want to imitate him, to be Christ-like: Christian. Required to goto Church?Your freewill Choice! Matthew 16:18 Jesus talks about building a Church. I would think he doesn’t want it empty. Do you need anything more than the Bible? Well sorta. Jesus didn’t give us a bible. He gave us his Apostles (Matthew 16:19-20), the Holy Spirit (john 14:26) and Traditions.(go and make, do this in remembrance of me, etc) The Gospel you presented is the one I grew up with. :) If I grew up cradle catholic, and only went to mass and didn’t dive in, or give an interest into my religion history, yes the Western Culture Protestantism is way more interesting! I did grow up WCP. I know the history, some terms and phrases. And yet, I am becoming Catholic as the fullfillment of my understanding of Christianity!! I have described it as seeing in 4k vs Black and white!
(0:55) Mike's first question about why a Protestant left Protestantism for the Roman Catholic Church is "Did you ever speak out against the false and fatal gospel of Rome?" is the wrong question to ask. Mike's first question about why a Protestant left Protestantism for the Roman Catholic Church should be, "What did the Protestant-turned-Roman-Catholic learn about the Roman Catholic Church to convince them to become a Roman Catholic?" Instead of first trying to understand why a former Protestant chose to become Roman Catholic, Mike Gendron automatically thinks his anti-Roman-Catholic beliefs are correct and the Protestant-become-Roman-Catholic is wrong.
I have been to countless Catholic mass. I found them to be lifeless, cold, and repetitive with little to no teaching of God's word. I can not understand why anyone would ever become a Catholic unless they are weak in faith and need crutches.
Really? So where in the Catechism does it say all of that? I'm dead serious? Provide the place! I'll even give you a link to the catechism so that it is easy to look it up: ccc.usccb.org/flipbooks/catechism/index.htm Its obviously not in there since it isn't Catholic teaching, but you probably knew that and just hate the Church so much that you enjoy cultivating lies about it. Its amazing to me how so many Protestants literally chose to perpetuate lies about Catholicism! Do you guys even remember there are two commandments addressing this?? THOU SHALT NOT LIE, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. So given those commandments, how do you justify perpetuating lies about the Church? Please explain your reasoning, I would love to know how you get around those commandments.
Gregory what can you expect from bias people who have been brainwashed? I don't see how anyone can be so IGNORANT and bash The Blessed Mother, The Mother Of God. I'd hate to be in his shoes when he dies and has to face God.
James Palmer Unfortunately, too many people believe that Roman Catholicism is a valid expression of Christianity. Do you agree? If you do not agree, than you worship a different god, and you carry a different Bible. As a servant of Christ and a messenger for the Holy Spirit, I can assure you, Catholicism is the Antichrist. This revelation was given to me by the Holy Spirit almost one year ago. The Lord has done nothing short of miracles in an effort to make sure I understood this. Btw, I am very thankful for that. My heart goes out to my blind Catholic family and friends. To this day, I have never met a Catholic (This includes the priest I have been debating for the last 6 months) who has a reasonable understanding of Scripture, not one. I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible, as the Bible states for a non Christian (Catholic or any other religion) to understand God’s Word. God sends them the delusion. Not the devil, but God. I know this is not good news for so many, but it is the truth. Religions are the devil’s playground. Once a religion, and they all do it, tells one of it’s members that a he/she must do “Works” to gain Salvation? It is no longer following Christianity. In other words, why did Jesus have to die on the cross if man can earn his/her own grace? It is a gift, be thankful, accept His gift, and you will quickly realize how destructive all religions are.
@@jamespalmer4992 you are being an idiot.....that's not what that commandment means...….non Catholics are not bearing false things about that system...….what they're saying is according to the bible.
Please guys DO NOT TAKE THE MARK, KEEP BUILDING UP YOUR FAITH SO THAT YOU DO NOT FAIL PLEASE KEEP CLOSE TO OUR LORD. GET CLOSER TO OUR LORD. JUST AS MARY DID. (Remember Mather and Mary).
It is unfortunate that "faith alone" has been repeated so completely. LUTHER is recorded to have said "faith alone but not by faith that is alone". Would it be accurate to say, "by grace, thru faith, apart from works?"

Biblical Proof the seventh day (Saturday) IS the Sabbath Matt 27:62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day....... Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, c Mark 15:42 - It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). Mark 16:1-2 - When the Sabbath was over, Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week Luke 23:54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin Luke 23:56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment. Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, .... John 19:31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, John 19:42 o because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, btw---Matt --14:19----- Jesus "broke bread"--Communion?? No. they ate bread and fish. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I posted this several months ago. NOT one catholic has replied! Why???? Catholics claim Sunday is a holy day made by God.

@@smarttowel5656 And your point is? Jesus established One Church, and he prayed to the Father that his followers would be "one". Protestantism changed all that.
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; Jes.us alone and being born again only way to heaven.

@@NMDecember1 Dear Niamh, Matthew 23:9, "And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven." Notice, however, that this makes no distinction between spiritual fathers, which is what our priests are to us, and biological fathers. In other words, if you interpret this passage to say, absolutely, that no man is to be called father, you cannot distinguish between calling a priest, father, and calling the man who is married to your mother, father. But, is that actually what this passage is saying? Or is Jesus warning us against trying to usurp the fatherhood of God? Which, in many ways, is what the Pharisees and Scribes were doing. They wanted all attention focused on them...they were leaving God, the Father, out of the equation. Which is why Jesus goes on to call them hypocrites, liars, and whitewashed tombs. If you interpret this passage from Matthew 23 as an absolute ban against calling anyone your spiritual father, then there are some problems for you in the rest of Scripture. For example, Jesus, in the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16, has the rich man referring to Abraham as "father" several times. Paul, in Romans chapter 4, refers to Abraham as the "father" of the uncircumcised, the Gentiles. That's referring to spiritual fatherhood, not biological fatherhood. In Acts 7:1-2, the first Christian martyr, Stephen, referred to the Jewish authorities and elders who were about to stone him as brothers and "fathers," as does Paul in Acts, chapter 22. This is referring to spiritual fatherhood. So, if you interpret Matthew 23 as saying we cannot call anyone our spiritual father, then you have a problem with Jesus, Paul, Stephen, and the Holy Spirit...they must have all gotten it wrong. It is okay to call priests "father", just as it was okay for Jesus and Paul to call Abraham "father" and for Stephen and Paul to call the Jewish elders "father." As long as we remember that our true Father is God the Father and that all aspects of fatherhood, biological and spiritual, are derived from Him. And as long as we do not allow anyone else to usurp that role in any way, shape, or form, as the Pharisees and Scribes were prone to do.
@@NMDecember1 Catholics agree with that verse "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. But the Bible says nowhere that ONLY scripture (or Bible Alone) is used to spread the word of God. Niamh, the Apostles had no Bibles. Do some research on your Bible Niamh, the one you use. I would bet it is a version that came out of protestantism in the 1500s, and not the Catholic version (the Latin Vulgate) upon which Martin Luther (former Catholic Priest) used in his training to be a Priest. So those who are devoted to "Bible Alone" have a problem. For there was a time when there were no Bibles. Fact is, the Catholic Church gave the world the Bible around 400 AD. So using the "Bible Alone" logic, that means before 400 AD there was no Church! We know that is not true.
The saddest thing of them all is that the Catholic alienation and outright perversion of the Word of God has put off millions of people who would otherwise have been believers.
look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !
Any intelligent person can read both the Catechism and Holy Scripture and find out there is no contradiction of scripture and the Catechism ... You actually get the bible from "tradition" which is what is passed down often by word and continual practice, from one generation to the next as the bible was not agreed up and compiled till 390's
So show me in scriptures where Jesus started the RCC, a sinless Mary at Birth, a perpetual virgin, is to be prayed to, is assumed into heaven, & a Co-mediatrix.
@@stever4181 1/ Jesus said "you are Peter and on this rock I build my church 2/ The rest is from the appointed Church "Whatever you bind on Earth will be considered bound in heaven .... 3/ Now perhaps you can show me where it says "" If you dont like my church start your own and if you continue to disagree make up 30 000 different churches to fit in with what you want ???
@@1234poppycat 1/ You have not shown where it is the RCC that Jesus started. There is no mention of the RCC at all in the 115 times church is mentioned. In fact, the word used for 'church' in the NT is always Ekklesia and its meaning is those people who believe Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. That is the church Jesus started. It is NOT any organized religion and definitely not the RCC! 2/That does not give any church the right to say what they want. Traditions are God's traditions, not man's. Traditions also do not qualify or change the meaning of Scriptures. 3/ Your statement is ridiculous!
That is simply a Catholic and also secular lie the Bible was not all of a sudden compiled in 390 nor was it decided there. You have the early church leaders all quoting countless verses from our New Testament and using nothing else as authoritative which is only a quick google search away Polycarp using around AD 90, clement of Rome, irenaeus, tertullian, etc all of which the Catholic Church have as saints I believe too ironically The muratorian canon AD 150 Origen even in AD 240 listed all 27 Athanasius also compiled a list in AD 367 Clearly by simply reading many letters of the early church( not the fake ones) you can see the New Testament had been being passed around the churches and were being used by the church as a whole only nothing else being used. Which is to be expected Paul tells his churches to pass on his epistles to other churches for their edification as well as Peter who makes reference to Paul’s letters that his audience would be familiar with already. “And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2 Peter 3:15-16 KJV A simple history search would show to both the atheist and the Catholic that these dates assigned commonly to scoff at the word of God is false and that God himself has preserved his word form the beginning of his church by his spirit against all odds and inspire of the vicious persecution for the first 300 years. If actually researched it truly is a great testimony of Gods sovereignty
@@GR65330 : That doesn’t even make sense. That’s like saying I’m an oncologist but I’m not a doctor. Why are people so hooked on a “religion” that is man made. We have but one God and His Word. If the Bible says something is wrong then it’s wrong irregardless of what man says or feels. Personally I think we should let the Bible speak for itself n toss out this religious nonsense.
@@libertyjustice5421 It depends upon your definition of the word "religion". The word 'religion' comes from the root word meaning relationship. By who's interpretation of the scriptures are you going with to determine if something is right or wrong? Even the reformers couldn't agree on the understanding of the scriptures. The fact is that Christ left His Church to guide us and not the bible. Since Pentecost, it was the Holy Spirit guiding His Church through the teachings of the apostles and it has been this absolute truth that was passed down by the successors of the apostles generation after generation. I think that one of the greatest defenders of the Christian faith (Irenaeaus of Lyons) stated this best in his writing "Against Heresies", when he taught: "It is incumbent to obey the presbyters who are in the Church-those who, as I have shown, possess the succession from the apostles; those who, together with the succession of the episcopate, have received the infallible charism of truth, according to the good pleasure of the Father. But [it is also incumbent] to hold in suspicion others who depart from the primitive succession, and assemble themselves together in any place whatsoever, either as heretics of perverse minds, or as schismatics puffed up and self-pleasing, or again as hypocrites, acting thus for the sake of lucre and vainglory. For all these have fallen from the truth". - Irenaeus of Lyons (a disciple of Polycarp of Smyrna), Against Heresies, 4:26:2, 180 AD
@@GR65330 : I’m intrigued that many do not use Scripture in comments but writings of someone else’s thoughts and opinions. I also find it interesting that God in Ezekiel was so disgusted with the Jews for placing statues in the temple and the women crying over Tammuz, ( forty days which was brought into the church as Lent) who’s mother was also known as the “Queen of heaven”, who Jeremiah prophesied about was abhorrent to God. Im sure you’re aware of Seraramis, Nimrod and Tammuz from the Tower of Babel. Much of the paganism from that time made it into the early church and has remained. Jesus told us in Matthew to call no man on earth “father” for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. ITimothy tells us we need not confess our wrong doings to anyone but Jesus. For there is one God and one mediator between God n men, the man Christ Jesus. As well, the belief that the church was built on Peter is not what Matthew 16:18 refers to. When Jesus spoke to Peter by name He used the word for a small moveable stone (a pebble) but the word rock, (Gr petra) means immovable foundation. Jesus was saying the church would not be built on Peter “the pebble” but upon Christ, the massive Rock and chief cornerstone of the church. There’s many “religions” that in some form or fashion have taken pagan rituals and traditions into the church; some much more than others. However, slapping a “Christian” label on something that disgusts God, can fool people but not the Lord. Revelation in the first 3 chapters tells us about the 7 different types of churches there would be. Pergamos comes to mind, which represents the 4th century Rome. If your theology is wrong, so is the doctrine. After Alexander the Great died, his four generals split up the territory he had conquered. We see this in our history books as well as in Daniel. Antiochus Epiphanies slaughtered ever high priest in Jerusalem and thus began the tradition of giving church titles to the highest bidder. This was eventually a very lucrative business for the church since society did not own bibles and had to rely on wolves in sheep’s clothing. We can also look at history during the time of Nero and Constantine. It’s very clear that both paganism and the early church were melded together. Then the Roman church began burning, torturing and killing anyone who disagreed with them after Martin Luthers 99 thesis that was nailed to the church door exposing the apostasy of church leaders. Lastly, the inquisition is what drove people to look for a place where they could forge a Judeo/Christian/bible based country away from persecution. All that to say….that is why “religion” if fickle and sways as the winds blow, but the Word of God will never die and not return to Him void (Isaiah 55) I do appreciate the response tho 😉
(3:35) "Remember the Reformers Cry" slide. The five Solas that Mike Gendron presents are the reasons why there are currently 30,000+ Protestant denominations who all interpret the Bible different from one another.
Why did Martin Luther describe the "Letter of James" as "a right strawy epistle" and want it removed from the Bible? He didn’t just “want” it removed from the Bible, he threw it out of his Bible! Why? Because Martin Luther’s personal fantasy religion was based on “faith alone” despite the fact that no Christian in 1500 years had ever believed such nonsense and Our Blessed Lord specifically preached the opposite. Anyway, the ONLY time that “faith alone” appears in the Bible is in James with the words NOT BY right in front of them! James 2:24 Revised Standard Version 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
You understand that there are multiple places in the bible where it says we are saved by grace alone through our faith? Like when Jesus said all those times that those who BELIEVE will not perish. We are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves. How much more clear could that be? Not of ourselves?? What then does not of ourselves mean? Did we have any part in our salvation but only our faith in the FINISHED work of the Lord Jesus on the cross? Acts 16:30-31 describes what WE do. He says it right there. What must I DO to be saved? And what does Paul say?? Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved? Or does it say, believe, go to mass, do good works, merit the grace you should recieve, ect. No it says believe. It's right there. What's also right there is in v32 it shows that they spoke the word of the Lord to them. As if it had some higher authority. They couldnt just tell him what to do and walk away. He had to hear Gods word. Find me one spot in the bible where it says that there is any other authority over the very word of God? Then real quick go to John 19:30 and bask in the Lords words. IT IS FINISHED. What is finished? When we believe and nothing else that must mean that Jesus' sacrafice was enough and it was was sufficient. Done. Paid. In. Full. Martin Luther was not a moral example to follow. And in James 2, James is talking about your faith being seen by others. God does not need to see fruit to know your faith is real. Please, do research for yourself and dont be catholic. Be a biblisist. Contend for your faith. Know it to be true. And also. You dont work for a gift. Salvation is a free GIFT from God. It's not a gift if you work for it, it's a wage. Since catholics like to make sure we are using words right like faith alone, being found in the bible. Tell me, what is a gift if you work for it. Really think about all this stuff. Your eternity is at stake.
I also forgot to mention, the bible specifically says God will not be a debtor to man. So if we work for any part of our salvation then God owes us and the bible is clearly against that.
@@adamnichols7051 What you are saying is illogical and when you quote from the bible you are very selective and do not find anything that supports your view unless you deny logic or what was actually said in context. You have not found Jesus saying "you are saved by faith alone " Because it is not in the bible. You say "Acts 16:30-31 describes what WE do. He says it right there. What must I DO to be saved? And what does Paul say?? Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved?" If you believe in him you will follow HIS Word. So yes Jesus tells us about eating his body and blood (John 6 + 14 other scripture supporting references) Again you come up with ""John 19:30 and bask in the Lords words. IT IS FINISHED. " That is when Jesus died on the cross his role as a human had finished we could receive salvation if we follow his Word … it is an action and a belief.
@@1234poppycat Don't you think that if there was any righteousness through the law or good works then Christ died needlessly? If you could gain righteousness through following God and obedience then why did Jesus die? At this point I just want a friendly discussion with the outcome that might be one of us sees the truth.
I often wonder what kind of spirit animates people like Mike Gendron who are very sincere, earnest and convinced of what they believe. As a Catholic, I find Mike's teachings to be absolutely senseless. His understanding of Catholic teachings is far from true.
it's protty pride. they also don't like feeling convicted in their sins and would rather pretend there is nothing they can do to help or hurt their salvation
MIKE'S a fallen away catholic who left the church after 34 years cuz he could not reconcile the FACT he was living in sin against her truths. LOOK AT THE MAN, HES A HERETIC, HIS NET WORTH IS OVER 25 MILLION DOLLARS. HE FLIES ROUND THE WORLD ON PRIVATE JETS , HOB NOBBING WITH THE LOST AND THE RICH. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A TRUE BELIEVER. SATAN IS HIS MASTER.
I listened to John Macarther until I literally heard him state: you can receive the “MARK OF THE BEAST AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN” (so much for John Macarther)- I certainly hope you don’t follow this heresy-
Very true. These guys speak "almost truths". They are like Jehovah's witnesses. They pick and choose things and or take things out of context. Like where this guy says priest tell us to deify a wafer. That is bullpuckey. My priest consecrated a wafer. Jesus did the exact same thing 2,000 years ago with bread and wine COMMANDED us to do the same in his memory. How is that deifying anything?. We are moved by our faith in Jesus words that "this is my body" figuratively speaking that prompts our belief that it actually is. Nobody deifies anything.. I have yet to pray to a wafer, consecrated or not. I may show reverent respect because of the actions of the priest. But deify? Hardly that. I just took so many issues with this guy and his oh so gentle way of "teaching" how wrong Roman Catholics are. Our beliefs are spelled out plainly in the apostles creed. Also in the Nicene Creed. He claims purgatory is not in the Bible. I beg to differ. I am an ignorant layperson and he a self professed bible scholar of some 30 tears. Even I found the scriptures alluding to it. Not as purgatory per se, but a place of cleansing fire... As was mentioned in the article I read. What need of prayer would a person condemned to hell have? Likewise a person already in heaven would need no prayer so when Matthew and Peter and 2 maccabees implore us to pray for those in the next world. What else would they be speaking of? Mary as free from sin. That would be absolutely necessary in order for her to bear the Messiah, Emmanual, the Christ in her very body! As the Son of God and as God himself, He could not possibly get next to anything impure. That is that!. Praying TO Mary? We do not. We ask for her intercession as the mother of God. Who would he most likely respond to? I am guessing good ole mom!. Hail Mary prayer is in the Bible. At least 1/2 of it. Her visit to her cousin Elizabeth upon finding out she too was pregnant with what turned out to be John the Baptist. She said. "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb". This guy is only pointing to almost truths. Just another in a long line of subjugators of the papacy. As a man the pope is in no way infallible. But we believe when acting on behalf of the church he has the same authority as Peter, the first pope. Who was anointed by Jesus as "the rock, upon whom I will build my church". I look forward to my time in purgatory because that will allow me that final cleansing prior to entering into my blessed eternity with God. Amen.
@@chuckmaniaci1459 I also heard J.M. Say it , was on a Q&A video he did , he was called out on it but I never did see a retraction from him , check out his Q&A videos
I'm pretty convinced that only God can open the eyes of our understanding individually when we show him we are seeking truth, reconciliation, and relationship with him. My grandma went to church religiously and gave 10 percent and made my papaw do the same under compulsion. And if ever the Bible was mentioned she would suggest the way to be right with God was to follow the 10 commandments. Now how can a lady go to a Baptist church that many years and still not know anything? She didn't want to hear anything about the Bible after I got saved and wanted to talk about hings I've read and learned. It would make her visible shutter and fidgety then I would quickly be inturpted to state the obvious about the surroundings or change the subject to something irrelevant. Well she's dead now but I hope she wasn't trusting in her keeping of the commandments to get into heaven because Jesus Christ is the only one of us to ever accomplish that.

The Testimonies and Teachings of Christ and The Apostles John, Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Luke, and Mark are Clear in their writings. THEY are the True Original Church Fathers and the New Testaments is the original and highest Divine Revelation which shows us the First 50 Years of the First Church.... And guess what.

READ THE WHOLE NEW TESTAMENT. To Be Deep in the Bible is the be absent of the Vatican... Buyer Beware Rome is selling a false religion of over 260 False 'apostles'. Go back to the only True Verified Apostles and the True First Church - The New Testament. There is a reason that the council of Trent had the Bible on its list of Forbidden Books.
8:00, just because you use different words doesn’t mean your five “solas” aren’t your own tradition and magisterium. I read the Bible and see the Catholic tradition, you read the Bible and see your tradition. Also, you only believe the Bible because that’s what the Catholic Church has always taught. So you’re following our tradition too.
Amen. It's funny how Mike won't admit that he is relying on the reformer's interpretation of the Bible compared to the early church fathers. He'd rather take the 1500s over the first few centuries of rich early church history. Absolute smokescreen, no such thing as sola scriptura.
The Reformer's interpretations come from the early church fathers and from scripture, so no smokescreen. Sounds like you agree with what Mike covered just after the 8 minute mark, which makes Mike right.
Will you go to Heaven? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H_ll. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and *Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case:* *"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have you life.”* Then Jesus rose from the grave, defeating it. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you. (living waters/ray comfort) God bless you.
I’ve listened to this man. I feel for him for he is sincere, but awfully deluded. His criticism of Catholic practice lacks any understanding. Catholics don’t worship statues. Do you worship your family by treasuring a family photo. Do you worship a hero by admiring his statue. Catholics venerate the personality represented by the statue, and treasure the resemblance as a way of placing themselves spiritually near the person depicted. As for the a Eucharist., read John 6. Why oh why do Protestants so vehemently demand that the Bible is true, word for word, but refuse to apply the same rigorous to the Eucharist. John 6 says it all, but protestants seem to want to shuffle around this. Why? Is it too hard to believe that God can do anything? Or is it because they can’t accept that they just have it wrong. Pride is pretty awful when it separates one from Christ. If you study the Gospels you’ II find that the universal , Catholic Christianity is actually following the words and desires of Christ. Yep it’s been lead at times by not so holy people, and money cannot buy you heaven, but it’s teachings have never varied from the authentic teaching handed down from Christ to his apostles and so to us. I challenge you to think again before you fall into the flawed ways this preacher is proposing.
You: "Catholics don’t worship statues" Me: No do you pray to them, kiss their feet, turn to them and talk to them, Honor them. All these things are what the pagans did to their idols. Wake up and smell the coffee, you are deceiving yourself.
Our God is not a God of chaos and confusion. If they can apply, any Tom, Dick and Harry can do it. The Mystery of Christian faith established by Jesus Christ is not as simple and shallow as one might think.
scriptures say faith without works is dead. People need to read their scriptures. you are talikng both sides of your mouth. Going to church is works, serving the poor is works and reading scripture is works, baptism which even Jesus did is works. Jesus did works, keeping the commandments are works, praying is works. you are so wrong
Works do not save you. Salvation is a gift from God . Works are evidence that one has been saved through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thinking that you can "help Jesus" with the atonement is heresy. Baptism is an outward expression of the inner change. Read Romans 10;9-10. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Do not be deceived. Do you honestly believe you're going to get into Heaven without doing any good works whatsoever? What did Jesus say in Matthew 25:31-46? Why are the Goats going to Hell? And "indulgences" are in the Old Testament. It's called the Sacrificial System where you "paid" to have your Sins forgiven.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty You mean the types and shadows in the Old Testament that were signposts of Christ death and resurrection? Which is why he’s compared to a LAMB who was sacrificed ONCE not over and over again in the Eucharist but he is seated at the right hand of the father and in dwells every believer fully by his Holy Spirit and the righteousness of Christ is Imputed when we get born again. “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, And in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 10:10-17 KJV “who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.” Hebrews 7:27 KJV “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 KJV It doesn’t matter what kind of addition you add or take away from the gospel nor does it matter what label you claim Paul makes it very clear to the Galatians who had Jews who believed on Christ but wanted to add works and traditions to salvation and the received Paul’s harshest letter in the New Testament that should set an example for all who want to follow Christ. “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9 KJV Goats go to hell for the same reason as other parables such as Paul’s parable of Isaac and Ishmael Abraham sought the promise God made by his own effort and produces the bond child Ishmael , cast out the bond child and through faith Abraham trusting in Gods promise was Isaac born People who trust in there own merit are children of bondage(ie ishamel) people who trust in the promise by faith alone are of the promise ( ie Isaac) “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” Romans 11:6 KJV Also just to clarify it’s not just indulgences if you pick up a catechism and or just go on a catholic apologetic website you can find a defense of all sorts of unbiblical doctrines the Catholic Church added over the last 1700 years. Quick one from my cathecism which contradicts Roman’s 11:6 CCC 2027, “Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can merit for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods.” And not Christ merit plus our own merit but also Mary’s good works and various saints mix and match so you can hopefully meet the requirement that Christ already met for you 1477, “This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable, and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission in the unity of the Mystical Body.” Works salvation, purgatory , Eucharist(Christ is dying over and over folks), Mary the co mediatrix, praying to the dead saints, penance, the Pope/Vicar of Christ ETC. Not to mention just flat out lying and misleading people to believe that the Roman Catholic Church has been around since Christ established is non sense. The Church of Rome did not form realistically or start to exist in its current form till after Constantine who set the example for the office of the pope sadly. But over time if you read actual history and not revisionist history the degrade of the Church of Rome happened gradually from mid 4th century onward with the merging of church and state proving to be deadly. Perhaps the church will change the 9th commandment though shalt not lie just like they changed the 2nd commandment. bottom line the church is known for changing or outlawing the scriptures when it doesn’t conform to there man made doctrines.
Yes, you are right. The false religion of the Roman Catholic church and its wicked abused and idolatry were exposed and continue to be refuted by Scripture alone and all of Scripture.
Why Mike is preaching against the RC? Roman Catholic, Protestant, Revival, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Seventh day Adventist etc, all of them are believers of Jesus Christ? If we believe and obey Him, and born again Christians, we are saved by His grace.
@@bridgefin There is even greater riches in the Vatican. I am personally aware of priests going to a dying person and telling them to put the Catholic church in their will so their time in purgatory will be lessened. You follow a cult and can't see it.
Mike the Protestant reformation was lead by a immoral, man Martin Luther. Martin Luther called Jesus an adulterer saying that Jesus committed adultery with the woman at the well and then with the other woman. Martin Luther mocked the 10 commandments saying it makes men impotent and he called the Epistle of James the Epistle of Straw. Martin Luther encouraged people to sin saying " No sin can separate one from the Lamb even if you fornicate and murder 1000 times a day" While Jesus Christ said Sin no more.
The Protestant Reformation was led by an immoral man Luther n callee Jesus an adulterer) Oh dear Roman Cath Augustine monk read The Bible n found 95 heresies of his church n dared to question the mega monilithic Roman Church n Thank GOD he launched The Protestant Christian Reformation!!!
James 2:24-26 You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same manner, was not Raʹhab the prostitute also declared righteous by works after she received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way?+ 26 Indeed, just as the body without spirit* is dead,+ so also faith without works is dead.+
Just seen one of his other videos where he tells of his life to 36 years when he became a protestant and afterwards.. He is very economical with the truth as he reinvents himself he omits his time in Australia where he fell out with one protestant church after another …… now he uses the fact that his audience do not know about Catholicism, just what he tells them which is largely out of context and / or lies.
AJA Deacon Unfortunately, too many people believe that Roman Catholicism is a valid expression of Christianity. Do you agree? If you do not agree, than you worship a different god, and you carry a different Bible. As a servant of Christ and a messenger for the Holy Spirit, I can assure you, Catholicism is the Antichrist. This revelation was given to me by the Holy Spirit almost one year ago. My heart goes out to my blind Catholic family and friends.
@@richardurban2269 My heart goes out to all those following the hate preachers and those who make a living lying about the Catholic Church. Be like Dr Scott Hahn a protestant pastor critic of Catholicism who went to Catholic Mass to see first hand how "Catholicism teachers a different bible" was amazed to find the Mass was entirely biblical then HAD to give up power position etc to become a Catholic as he was a true Christian
AJA Deacon I am not a Catholic hater, it was actually the last thing I expected. I have listened to Scott Hahn, seriously, he does not speaks on God’s behalf. There is a lot of money involved for those that leave God’s Word to return to the Antichrist. The devil makes sure of that. Scott made a career out of it. I noticed on Scott’s podcasts, 10 were on Mary and one was on Jesus. His relationship with a dead person, (Jesus mother) who has never heard a prayer, is truly sickening. I became a Catholicism hater, after I was born again. Jesus said we must be born again, to get to Heaven. Everyone who is born again receives gifts from the Holy Spirit. I did, my wife did, and we know what gifts we received, as they are incredible gifts! I have been researching this for a year, and I have never found a Catholic with any of the gifts? You don’t have any of the gifts. The biggest lie a Catholic person is taught, is that they have been born again. Trust me, from a person whose life changed completely on February 10th 2019 (Born again) you have not been born again. Do you think you been born again? If you think so, do you know what day it was? Do you know what gifts you received? You don’t. Catholic’s always try to claim they have, but they get caught in their lies. When Jesus says you must be born again to even see Heaven, much less enter Heaven, you must admit it is very important? In 42 years of being Catholic, no priests ever spoke on the topic! I did not learn about it until I started reading the Bible. As a Catholic, How do you get past 1 Timothy 4? How do you get past Revelations 17? Does your brain not see the words clearly printed on the pages, describing Catholicism as the Antichrist? The amazing thing is, you will tell me, “It’s not talking about Catholicism” God sends you that delusion. Keep that in mind, it’s not the devil, it’s God. How do you expect to go to Heaven, when God is sending you delusions? I debated a priest for 6 months, he was also completely delusional on Scripture. You have been given the message, what I tell you is not only true, it must be true. On Judgement day, you will have no excuse, Jesus will say, “I sent a messenger who told you the truth, My Holy Word, told you the truth, but you rejected all of it to follow a religion.” Do you want to live with Christ on earth? I promise you, not being Catholic is the first start. You can call me 608-772-6412. You can verify that all I have told you is true.
@@richardurban2269 1/ You are right there is a lot of money for those who leave Gods Church for the anti Christ that is if you believe Gendron was a Catholic to begin with. 2/ Scott Hahn had a series of Podcasts on Mary so obviously 10/11 on Mary would be right but overall Mary is not the focus Out of his 42 published books just one is on Mary!! 3/ You say ""I became a Catholicism hater, after I was born again. Jesus said we must be born again, to get to Heaven. Everyone who is born again receives gifts from the Holy Spirit. I did, my wife did … "" If it has lead you to hate like Gendron I would suggest it is Satan that has lead you to your sorry state. 4/ I am Born again … when I was baptised (John 3 ) in the Catholic Church and at Confirmation 5/ Nowhere does the bible even hint that Catholicism is the Anti Christ but Jesus says to Peter the first leader "You are Peter and on this Rock I build my Church" 5/ Do you really think God sent a messenger saying leave my Catholic Church for one of the 40 000 protestant man made ones ???
AJA Deacon Wow!!! I cannot believe this? It Is fascinated, I gave you the verses! Tell me again, you said, “Where does the Bible even hint of Catholicism being the Antichrist?” Read these verses again and again, (In both cases you don’t need to go beyond verse 5). See if you can find Catholicism being described? This is for my research. Once I was born again, about a week later the Holy Spirit lifted the veil of misunderstanding from the Bible! I could now understand it. This is really an incredible event! Note: He lifted it a few days earlier for my wife and she was so fascinated with the Bible that she only slept a few hours a day, the rest, reading the Bible, this went on for a week. Again, this is a very noticeable event, we had tears in our eyes, we were so happy! I was reading the Bible for the first time! (Although, I had read the Bible on and off for 55 years) I want you to experience that! I did not listen to Catholics haters, I just read the Bible. The Bible is totally incredible! Every word in it is true, even Genesis. Of course Catholicism does not believe in Genesis, fools. Last year, (2019) I spent 2,000+ hours studying the Bible! It only took a few weeks for me to realize, like millions and millions of others already know, that the demonic faith was the very faith my parents taught me to respect. I had no doubts what the Lord was showing me. This is why there was a reformation 500 years ago! Because millions of people have been saved, and of course properly understand the Bible. You said I am in a sorry state? I used to know God very little, and now I work for Him! My Catholic family and friends say the same, they say Satan has entered me? Perhaps you are all right? God says you will know by the fruit. Since being born again, I spend my free time with others spreading the Gospel! Studying the Bible constantly! I doubt that comes from Satan, just the opposite in fact. No AJA, I really think your gasping at straws here, Satan does give people the will to spread the Gospel to everyone they meet. When your saved, you become part of God’s family, God starts letting you see truths, not only that but He guides you through the Bible, helping you to understand it clearly. It’s amazing!! 1 John 2:27 You obviously could not answer many of my important questions, but don’t worry no other Catholic can either. What gifts did you receive from the Holy Spirit? Don’t lie to me, you will get caught and look silly. Does your priest ever speak about what happens when your born again? Never!!!! The biggest lie Satan’s Church wants you to believe, is that you have been born again, although it’s never spoke of? Your told that when your a child. It’s up to you to figure out whether it’s true? It’s not. Admit it, you were told this, it’s man made. The Catholic Church teaches you that the Holy Spirit is in dwelled in the Catholic Church and you are baptized into the church. How goofy is that? (Remember, no not one man is good, not one) The Bible speaks on being born again, a lot, and I promise you, you have NOT been born again! Here is what a Catholic fool says, “I was born again when I was baptized”. Oh crap, that’s what you said! Well, it’s still the truth. If I were you, I would want absolute proof that I was born again, and I would not stop until I have the very noticeable gifts from the Spirit. Perhaps getting to Heaven is not a priority for you? If not, then don’t worry about being born again. I’m sure Hell can’t be that bad? As for Peter, Jesus did not build His Church on the pebble (Peter, Petros =small pebble) He built it on Peter’s proclamation. Think about it? Jesus is the Rock, it says so more than 30 times in the Bible. The Church is being built on Jesus. Use some basic logic! Don’t believe anything that you cannot read in Scripture. As for the Lord leading me to 40,000 denominations? Why do all Catholics believe this crap? I am not in any denominations? I don’t know of any of those that I fellowship with that are in any denominations? Let me say this, if anyone is following any man made doctrines, they are not part of God’s family. Catholicism is nearly identical to Mormonism, a lot of man made nonsense in both, and both believe it’s followers will become gods. CCC841 The Catholic Church also wants to join with Islam. Evil begets evil I guess? If your following Christ, following only His Word and accepting His Grace as full payment for your sins, your not in a religion. Your a Christian. Once people have convinced you that what Jesus did is not enough, and the Bible is not enough, your in a religion. Spiritual people go to Heaven, religious people don’t.
Its awful how religious leaders and priests. Pastors bend. Twist snd distort. Gods word i belive in jesus christ and his works. I dnt need a priest Pastor. Or anyone to speak to god for me I dont need a building A church. To speak to god I was babtised into roman catholic faith not of my choosing. But i have faith No man has any right to come between me and god.
Catholics are told to not read the Bible for themselves but to just obey what the Pope and Bishops tell you (even if you find out later that they contradict scripture).
No doubt there are mistakes in the Catholic teaching, but you can find many false teachings among the Evangelical Churches as well. Regarding the justification, the Reformation is relying solely on the wrong interpretation of St. Paul's doctrin and on sentences taken out of context from the St. John's Gospel. None of the Bible citations supporting the Reformation doctrin of salvation in this video comes from other parts of the Holy Scripture, especially not from the other 3 Gospels. Salvation by faith? Yes, by faith not only in God's existence and Jesus's redeeming sacrifice, but also by faith in God's word - which is the starting point of "living" God the Father's and Jesus's commandments, of bringing them into realization in our life. It's not possible to keep the moral commandments without having faith they are the true word of God. This faith, prior to following the commandments and accompanying the ever ongoing striving to keep them, it is what St. Paul ment by faith. He didn't abolished the commandments (if so, then only some which are ritual in nature, like the circumcision, some eating laws etc.), he just reversed the order from " we must keep the commandments in order to be saved" into "we are saved, therefore we must keep the commandments". Regarding the salvation, keeping them isn't optional. You can see this in all the other parts of the scripture, but also by St. Paul. For instance: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not bedeceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God". (1Corinthians 6:9-10) "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS of God is what matters". (1Corinthians 7: 19) "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love." (Galatians, 6:6) Please notice: Not a 'Faith alone', but a 'Faith WORKING' through the works of love: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:" You shall love your neighbor as yourself.""(Galatians 6:14) Being freed from the law is for St. Paul conditional: "But IF you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law." (Galatians 6:18) And he explained, what does it practically mean to be led by the Spirit: "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentious ess, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like, of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in the past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, piece, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (Galatians 6:19-23) St. Paul substitutes the old Judaic law with a new law of Christ, which is an even more demanding law: "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2) To believe (as understood by the Evangelical Churches) is an easy task which can be accomplished in few minutes. Following Jesus's commandments is a task for life. The Catholic Church puts emphasis on obeying God, and it makes up for many of the flaws in its doctrine.
Poor Mike Griffdron. I won't lay scripture on you. Mercy! I pray for Mike The Grifft. Attacks a straw man, doesn't read low informaion. See how many of the Griffter videos have no comment. Nuff said. Move on. Fratelli tutti\para 15
Macarthur is a good teacher. But,,, I don't need to be a theologian to know Matthew 24 clearly says After the tribulation in those days not before AND,,, Woe to those who take the mark!!!
Can someone please explain to me how we can have Faith alone? How do you do that in real life? If no works are required, how do I live my life without works and still be a Christian?
That’s because the gospel of salvation is simple LOL. The Roman catholic road to salvation is so complicated it’s exhausting just trying to get through all the rules and regulations. No wonder none of you have a clue whether you’re going to heaven or not.
@@4309chris Sorry… There is only one way you can lose your salvation, and that is by blaspheming the Holy Spirit. This means completely, intentionally, turning your back on God, and aligning yourself with Satan. Ephesians 1:13-14…” and you also were included in Christ when you HEARD the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. HAVING BELIEVED , you were MARKED in him with a SEAL, the PROMISED holy spirit, who is a deposit to GUARANTEEING our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God‘s possession, to the praise of his glory.” Sinning will not make you lose your salvation… Only Catholics believe that. “We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God” (romans 3:23). We will never be able to quit sinning, because it is our inborn nature. It does not matter how hard you try… You will be a sinner until the day you die. That is why God sent Jesus Christ, to take the sin debt off of our shoulders. Faith in Jesus Christ death burial and resurrection forgives you of all your sins… Not some, not most… ALL‼️… John 3:15-16, Acts16:30-31, romans 10:9-13. You can believe what man says… I will believe what God says.✝️
@@4309chris God‘s grace is a GIFT‼️ it is not something you earn, or merit. A gift is FREE‼️ no payment required… No penance… No burning in purgatory… Jesus did it all‼️ there is nothing you can do to add to what he did‼️ Ephesians 2:8-9…” by grace you are saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God, NOT OF WORKS, lest no man should boast” Of course the Roman Catholic Church says God didn’t really mean what he said there. I could send you a couple dozen other passages that say the same thing. Believe God, not man
Remember where the false prophet & anti- Christ will come from. What ancient false goddesses and infant child worship was taught, one was Greek, not sure where the others were but they were mother and child.-- the statues are even similar to the statues of Mary and baby Jesus. The world is going to the deep end taking different paths. This pope accepts anyone and everyone to go to heaven. Prayers is the only thing to save Catholics. May God have Mercy on us All.

They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin-this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.

Believe HIS words will keep you from being thirsty.
this video has more of biblical foundation than roman catholicism and many other false churches. i don't need to know every conflicting theological interpretation of history, to have salvation. it is by faith- through repentance, in Jesus that saves. being born again, is a mind and heart issue, it is not a bunch of man-made requirements. do you not see the simplicity of truth. if the catholic church was guilty of just half, of what was presented in this video, than it clearly has issues.
Serious suggestion for truth seeking brethern sitting in pews to do your homework before listening to such preaching, lest you should ingest poisons of God's adversaries without even realizing it.
True statement read the Bible as your source not what a man-made religion says about the Bible. Then Pray and listen for answers. above all run don't walk away from any religion that states they are the only religion and you MUST only listen to them. This is exactly the tactics of cults.
Luther was not infallible, he was a mere man like your popes and everyone else. The Bible is our only authority, not any man. Try becoming a critical thinker. Your eternity depends on believing on the real Lord Jesus Christ not the fictitious Jesus of Rome.
WE listened to LUTHER EXCEPT re THE BOOK OF JAMES- no martin, this is Scripture- you are wrong!!! James 2 ATTEMPTS top crumble the 5 solas. I call it the greatest oxymoron " Merited GRACE""
On the night he was betrayed, Jesus spoke-repeatedly-about the need for Christian unity. Among other points, he said that it would be by Christians’ love for one another that the world would know they are his disciples. Mr Gendron seeks to always be divisive and does not fulfil Christ's request.
Unity in the truth of the gospel, not traditions of man. Apostle Peter was sent to the Jews only, not the Gentiles ( anyone outside of Jewish traditions & faith ) Jesus admonish His disciple to only go to the circumcised. It was Apostle Paul who was sent to the Gentiles when he was converted on his way to arrest the converted fillers of Jesus Christ. Jewish traditions taught have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GENTILES. Apostle Paul’s conversion is in Book of ACTS
@@lauriecollins7312 Peter was eventually sent to Rome the citadel of the gentiles Yes Paul went to the disciples and clearly Catholics know about Pauls conversion in Acts because the bible was compiled by Catholics in 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo ... The bible came out of tradition !! -- Words and stories passed on orally mostly !! Come to Christ in his catholic Church and leave the hate -- get a true relationship with Christ he will transform your life like he has done for me and my friends and ex protestant hate preacher pastor Dr Scott Hahn (read some of his books as a guide)
Duh! The Catholic Church has, since 33 AD, protected the word of God and protected it from mistranslations, that’s why all mistranslations have been banned. Martin Luther removed seven books from the Bible and rearranged them to suit his interpretation of the Bible. The Catholic Church has, and continues to protect the Word of God. Go your own way at your own peril.

@@stever4181 wrote, " "The Catechism of the Catholic Church" Is a man-made document written to support a religious view. it is NOT God's word or His view." Of course "The Catechism of the Catholic Church" is a man-made document written to support (and instruct) what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. The Catechism teaches Catholics that Mary is sinless, a perpetual virgin, assumed into heaven, to be prayed to, and is a co-mediatrix. The Catechism draws on the Bible (God's word), the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of the saints. You got the best answer to your request of "Show me in God's word where Mary is sinless, a perpetual virgin, assumed into heaven, to be prayed to, a Co-Mediatrix" I don't understand why you made such a request as a reply to @McBallful's original comment because your request for info about Mary has nothing to do with what @McBallful wrote.

The Catholic Church has, since 33 AD, protected the word of God and protected it from mistranslations, that’s why all mistranslations have been banned. 2.

Chad Lee No Jesus Christ alone is the Lord Our God. McArthur has a limited knowledge of scripture and Catholicism and has done a lot more harm than good to Christians in his anti catholic hate preaching ... same with Geldron
@@1234poppycat I would have to disagree with you on MacArthur. He has a very good knowledge of Scripture, and I have not found one thing that he is wrong about when it comes to Romanism. The Roman Catholic church is a false church, spreading a false gospel, and worshiping a god and Jesus that are not the One True Living God and Jesus of Scripture.
@@JustaSlaveofChrist Just like Gendron MacArthur is a hate preacher who lies about Catholicism … one of his videos "At the Catholic Mass they take down Jesus from the cross and crucify him again and again for each mass" The truth is as we say in the Eucharistic prayer it is "a one living and perfect sacrifice to God " The recollection AND the Actual presence of Jesus is as he commanded in John 6 and 14 other scripture verses. Now is MacArthur ignorant or a liar ?? You decide.
@@1234poppycat MacArthur is neither ignorant nor a liar, as your own comments show. You say that during the Eucharist Jesus' actual physical flesh is present in the wafer, and Jesus' actual physical blood is present in the cup. Therefore, by your own admission, Jesus' actual physical blood is poured out for many -- from the cup -- each and every time you have Mass. That is to say nothing of the Roman teaching that you are gnawing on and eating His actual physical flesh (which, by the way, is cannibalism and condemned by Jesus). But the pouring out of Jesus' blood for many is a re-sacrifice of Jesus, over and over and over again. And, by the way, there is nothing in Scripture that says Jesus' actual physical flesh and blood are present in the elements. The Roman church has been misunderstanding, and misleading many on, those passages for centuries. Both Jesus and Paul refute the very idea that Romanism teaches.
The Holy spirit allows us to interpret the Scriptures. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; biblereasons.com/hell/ John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in 👉My Word👈 you are truly my disciples & you will know the truth, & the truth will set you free.

You are a sad example of the way the false church dupes people. You need to get away from quotes from men and try Scripture only and all of Scripture. Repent and believe on the real Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. If not you are already condemned and under the wrath of the only true and living God. Read the Bible for a change. Read John 17:3, then read carefully and prayerfully the following : The Gospel of John Romans Colossians PHILIPPIANS These are a good beginning.
The Testimonies and Teachings of Christ and The Apostles John, Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Luke, and Mark are Clear in their writings. THEY are the True Original Church Fathers and the New Testament is the original and highest Divine Revelation which shows us the First 50 Years of the First Church.... And guess what.

Luther teaches “Suppose I should counsel the wife of an impotent man, with his consent, to giver herself to another, say her husband’s brother, but to keep this marriage secret and to ascribe the children to the so-called putative father. The question is: Is such a women in a saved state? I answer, certainly.” Christ teaches the opposite that marriage is sacred.

Denise B................i'm former catholic and now understand the scriptures because they are rightly divided in my eyes as they should be to everyone, but not many believe in rightly dividing Gods word...it's a pity.....it makes so much sense when you see the bible that way......and Luther was part of history but i certainly don't agree with anything he said if it goes against the scriptures......you would do well to do the same.
This man is economical with scripture and very selective with historical facts ..... five solas ... sola scripture is NOT in the BIBLE and Peter did not say (as he claims at about 4 minutes) follow scripture ... obviously the New Testament had not been written .... and Gendron presents himself as a Pastor !!!
Martin Luther five Solas are heretical & he was totally against the teachings of Christ. In fact Luther teaching are opposite to Christ teaching: Luther teaches: “If the husband is unwilling, there is another who is; if the wife is unwilling, then let the maid come.”[39]
Mike you exalt Martin Luther although here are the exact words from heretic Martin Luther. Luther teaches: “Christ committed adultery first of all with the women at the well about whom St. John tell’s us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has He been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalene, and thirdly with the women taken in adultery whom He dismissed so lightly. Thus even, Christ who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died."
Constantine brought paganism and Christianity together causing the great falling away. In the Bible God forbids us to eat human flesh and to drink blood. THIS IS A SATANIC RITUAL. In the Bible God says to call no man father and do not do repetitious praying like the heathens do. In the Bible God says He is the only one who can forgive sins through His Son Jesus. There is no other way. Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through Him alone. Who do you think Jesus was talking about in Revelation 17:4-5 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead was a name written MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT. THE MOTHER OF HARLETS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The catholic church is full of idols. They deleted God's 2nd Commandment 'Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness that's in heaven, on or under the earth, in or under the sea. Thou shalt not worship them or bow down to them' and they halved the last commandment to make up ten. There is an obelisk outside the vatican which represents Nimrod, sungod worship. Mary represents semi-ramas symbolised by a crescent moon and baby Tammuz is camouflaged by baby Jesus in Semi-ramas arm's. There is your MYSTERY BABYLON. I love the Catholic people and so saddened that 1.3billion are being deceived. I know Jesus loves them because He says in the Bible 'COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE AND DO NOT PARTAKE IN HER SINS AND RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES' Jesus said THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. It is BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH WE ARE SAVED AND NOT OF OURSELVES. We need to humble ourselves, repent of sins, accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and believe He died on the cross for our sins, was buried, arose from the dead on the 3rd day, ascended into heaven and sits on the right hand of God. We need to be born again in The Holy Spirit and we become a new person. The Holy Spirit, dwelling in us gives us comfort, peace, joy, encouragement and helps us to overcome sin and guides us in good works but not of ourselves. Jesus wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. Pray and walk close to Him. We cannot work our way into heaven. Jesus says our works are like filthy rags. He paid for our sins on the cross. Before He died He said 'IT IS FINISHED' and the curtain separating the sacrificial alter was ripped from top to bottom. Jesus was the sinless sacrificial lamb that took on the sins of the world. It is by GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH WE ARE SAVED AND NOT OF OURSELVES. The true church of Christ consists of those who have been born again in The Holy Spirit, have become a new person in Christ and follow Him. His bride. His New Jerusalem. ua-cam.com/video/sSKgMnE6O0I/v-deo.htmlsi=ZwU-Ru20S-DmjSvX
It is unfortunate that "faith alone" has been repeated so completely. LUTHER is recorded to have said "faith alone but not by faith that is alone". Would it be accurate to say, "by grace, thru faith, apart from works?"

The Roman Catholic Church removed the second commandment from the original ten commandments. The second commandment "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” was replaced with "You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God in vain."
I wonder why they did that? Could it be that Catholics have been indoctrinated to believe that the use of statues, relics, and other articles is acceptable and even necessary for worship?
Weird that that commandment shows up in my Catholic Bible at home.
@@Shskfjekdnf38587
God’s Ten Commandments from Exodus 20…
2. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” (Exodus 20:4) “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;” (Exodus 20:5) “And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:6)
The Catholic Ten Commandments…
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God in vain. (Exodus 20:7)
The Catholic Church’s Ten Commandments is a modified version of Exodus 20. It is not the same thing, but a very slim down version of the real deal. They took a lot of details out of the true commandments of God, along with removing a commandment all together. Replacing God's 2nd with God's 3rd commandment is very deceitful and has set up the members to sin against God for over a thousand years.
@@geo6740 The Exodus and Dueteronomy verses pertaining to the Ten Commandments are in the Catholic Bible. There are two commonly used versions of the Ten Commandments which have different numbering. The Church and the the Lutheran Confessions use one by Augustine and the Orthodox and Refomed communities use the one your community uses. There is a paragraph addressing this in The Catechism of the Catholic Church as well as an entire section discussing all of the Commandments.
@@teresaemmerth5625
The substance of the 2nd addresses the distinct and highly significant question of the proper worship of the one true God. Tagging the 2nd to the end of the1st in the Catholic ten commandments is misleading and helps it ... disappear.
The RCC had good reason to downplay the 2nd since they violate it every time they pray to and worship Mary and the dead saints. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above" and “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
If you walk into any Catholic Church, you will finda variety of different idols that they bow down to on a daily basis. You will find an altar to Mary and her statue which people bow down to and light candles for.
Also, the RCC has different degrees of worship...dulia, hyper dulia, and latria. Dulia is the honor given to the saints. Hyper dulia is the honor given to Mary alone and Latria is the honor given to God alone. In contrast, the Bible always ascribes honor, in the context of worship, to God alone. Even if there were biblical support for different levels of worship, there still would be no biblical support for offering lower or lesser levels of worship to anyone other than God.
@@geo6740 I do not see how preserving the Scriptures, which contain the Decalogue , for centuries and dedicating several paragraphs of the catechism to the First Commandment downplays it or helps the prohibition against Idol worship to dissappear.
Mike and Jane, how thankful we are for your ministry. I am deeply grateful to you and John MacArthur for such clear teaching. I love how you let scripture interpret scripture. Gods word is alive and active…sharper than any two edged sword. The truth can be known, indeed it can, and scripture says so. We can trust it because it’s God-breathed.
I came out of the Roman Catholic religion when I went to university. I had gone to church throughout my childhood with my parents, devout Catholics and my sister.
I never had any joy or peace. No matter how good I was, what I did ,I could never do enough. God was remote. But…. I read the Bible and saw for myself that He can be known through Jesus Christ and serving Him and sharing the wonderful news of the gospel is what I love to do.
Jesus set me free! The life I now live is a joyful one, even in the the midst of trials and challenges because the Lord will use them for his glory and our good. We live in a broken world but Jesus overcame death, sin and suffering and we will too! We will rise and be with Him forever.
He is my righteousness, dying the death I deserved and living a perfect life I could never live.
One of my favourite verses is
For there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Makes you leap for joy, doesn’t it!

Thank you Mike . I was saved out of the Roman Catholic heresy. And I am greatly grieved to see my Brothers and sisters of the protestant faith claiming that we are all one in Christ when in fact they just don’t want to listen. My pastor did a class called Catholics answers exposing The Heretic teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, he too came out of the Catholic religion ,the class was offered free of charge and sadly there were only five people that attended. I pray that God will convict our brothers and sisters to learn the truth so that they may be equipped to witness to the lost in the Roman Catholic faith.
This gentleman knows controlled apologetics and Dr Scott hahn left this faith to join Catholic faith because studying the Bible led him to be catholic.

Mike Grifffdon
Great this was awesome
+Tree “Big Ox” Uchia Yea if you like being lied to its great.... too bad there is barely a fraction of actual Catholic teaching in anything Mike says we teach. Most of the stuff that Mike says we teach, the Catholic Church actually teaches the opposite.
So, they don''t teach to reverence mary; that you need to works and that there is a place called purgatory; that Mary can barder for your soul and "ask Jesus to save your soul from hell"; there isn't a false saint hood based on no biblical truth or tradition? hmm...seems about right to me. But its okay to believe what you want.
+Tree Uchia No, the Church does teach reverence towards Mary but that is not what Mike Gendron said. You can write one sentence of truth that actually came out of his mouth but please follow up with all the other BS Mike said so that we get a clear picture of the conclusion that Mike was attempting to paint. You can't just deal in partial truths. You can sound byte Catholicism all you want, but in the end, it isn't accurate. But you probably don't care because you hate Catholicism so much. Its like Protestants like to add "except when talking about Catholicism" after the commandments "thou shalt not lie" and "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor". The Church does not teach that Purgatory is a place, but rather is a state of being. And I suppose you can assume that Mary asks Jesus to save our souls from hell - but it is not the Church's doctrine that Christ sends us to hell. Rather, it is a choice we make in the presence of Christ - to reject Him upon our death. It goes against the nature of an all loving God to willingly separate Himself from His creation. And really, sainthood is false. So explain to me, where do you get that? Especially considering saints have been venerated in the Church starting with St. Peter due to the extensively documented rituals of Jewish tradition honoring their dead. So explain to me, where do you get your theology? Is it from a heretical, scrupulotic, and bigoted monk who tried to throw out 3 books of the NT but couldn't find a convienent excuse like he did with the OT? Or maybe from King Henry VIII, who determined with his pastor that he could continue his affair with Anne Boleyn? Or maybe it was John Calvin who decided he didn't like Martin Luther and so he just went up and started his own church for the hell of it. NONE of the reformers even claimed to have had any divine inspiration! At least that would give them an ounce of credibility. But funny thing is, that all of the five solas had never, ever been taught in all of human history up until Martin Luther. It was literally never heard of until then!!! So to say that the biblical writers intended on that interpretation of the Bible is completely false! Your ideas of Christianity have become so diluted that it is shameful. I literally don't know how anyone can be a Protestant. There are 40,000 denominations all thinking they are correct when none of them are and they were all borne from a heresy.
***** And the Catholic Church does NOT teach works. It teaches faith AND works. Why do Protestants always forget the faith part? You comment on 50% of the theology and then pass that off as adequate. If you got 50% on a test, do you pass? Its ridiculous. Of course, the Church teaches that because its in the Bible!! Look at James 2:24. How can you even attempt to interpret that passage as anything but works and faith??????? And when Paul comments on works and faith in his letters, do you notice that after works he ALWAYS writes, "of the law"?? So what law could he be referring to? Since Paul was Jewish, don't you think he was probably referring to the Mosaic Law? I mean there is a reason that sola fide had literally never been heard of for 1,500 years! It doesn't make any sense and isn't biblical to begin with!

If you were ever a Catholic you would know there are no bible passages that Catholics do not believe
3:40 and on: intro to 5 solas these are the "pillar of christian faith, if one of them crumbles, the whole church crumbles." Just a thought: if the Catholic church compiled the Christian Bible 300 years or so after Christ's time on earth, then what did early Christians use as scripture prior to the Bible being compiled? (answer: OT which was already compiled by the Jews (thank you) and the gospels and letters, maybe even more, that made it to the multiple congregations of the time. Some letters didn't make the cut to be called inspired scripture.)) Using an abbreviated version (66 books) vs the one compiled, is taking away from the whole 'inspired' word of God. Other fun facts: the Bible was handwritten until...1455. Still expensive to own personally (at the time). The Catholic Church also had a reformation (that didn't cause a split). It was called the 'counter-reformation'.
Jesus didn't give us the Bible/Scriptures. He didn't give us a book or letters, he barely (of all that is recorded) wrote anything. He gave us Men. Traditions. The Holy Spirit.
John Mathews
The Bible is very clear. After Jesus’s Resurrection, and the Apostle’s died, there could be no more traditions.
I don’t know how Catholics can say they follow Scripture? Again the Bible is so clear, “Do not add or subtract from My book!” Than He listed the punishments for such a grave offense!
All respected teachers today, warn us about the errors of Catholicism. The one true Antichrist church.
@@richardurban2269 for clarity sakes, can you point out where in scripture it is clear on your points? I rather have verse references and not take your word. Thanks.
What did catholics (add or subtract) from the Scripture? Again with reference.
Thanks.
@@johnmathews4698
Thank you for your reply! This is a long post because you rightfully, asked for references.
First, I don’t know if you have ever read the Bible? I suspect not. One day you will, and it will be so amazing!
I read the Bible for the first time a little over two years ago. I am 57 now.
I went to Catholic school for 8 years, and practiced Catholicism for 42 years, and never missed mass. Had my 3 children baptized as infants and did the other sacraments, including marriage as well.
Just days after being Born Again, I picked up the Bible, and could not believe it! How could I have read this book for 55 years and not realized how incredible God’s Word was!
You are now, where I was, with no true understanding of God’s Word. I can prove it to you, with a very simple question. If you get the question right, I will admit I was wrong. No Catholic has ever gotten it right yet.
The question:
Who is/was the Bible written for?
Follow up question:
Did God create an incomplete Bible?
Ok, to your reply:
I told you only Jesus and his disciples made the traditions. Let’s take a look at Scripture to see if what I said is true?
1 Corinthians 11:2
“Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.”
In this verse God, (Speaking through Paul) was happy with the traditions because the true believers (Those in Christ Church. Notice I did not say Catholic Church!) we’re following (Maintaining) the traditions that Paul DELIVERED. The word delivered is past tense!
Let’s look at a verse in Thessalonians:
2:15
“So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions THAT YOU WERE TAUGHT BY US, either by our spoken word or by our letter.”
Taught by us, (Us, being the Apostles) Again past tense.
Nothing says it better than Colossians:
2:8
“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, (Satan) and not according to Christ.”
Do those verses sound like God wants humans to create their own traditions? It clearly says the only true traditions come from Christ! The Apostles did not just “Make up” traditions, they were according to Christ!
Those are the first clues that God wants HIS traditions followed; however, God goes deeper into this topic, and absolutely could not be more clear of what He thought about human traditions.
Here are a few:
Jesus own words,
“You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men.””
Mark 7:8
“He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?”
Matthew 15:3
“he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.”
Matthew 15:6 ESV
“And he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!”
Mark 7:9 ESV
If you were Any of the 4 Gospel writers, after hearing Jesus say those words, would you than think to yourself,
“You know what? What we really need to do is start up our own religion, (All religions do this, not just Catholicism) with our own new traditions!”
You asked, “What did Catholics add or subtract from the Bible?”
When religions create their own new “Rules” isn’t that adding to Scripture, or said another way, isn’t it changing the Bible, as God clearly warned against?
For example, the Bible makes it extremely clear (1 Timothy 3) that God wanted the overseer’s (Pastors/priests) to be married, with a honorable family, and to be capable of living an honorable way of life.
Read 1 Timothy 3 and tell me if Catholicism is following God’s wishes for Catholic priests?
Didn’t Catholicism add: (Partial list)
* Purgatory
* Transubstantiation
* Assumption of Mary
* Infant baptism
* Confirmation
* Annulment
* Catechism
* Mass
* Nuns
* Graven images (Lot and lots of those!)
Catholics essentially deleted the most important part of the Bible (John 3) which gives us the requirement necessary to get to Heaven. (Born Again)
My brother a genius and a diehard Catholic for 60 years, said to me,
“What is this Born Again thing you keep talking about?”
A friend of mine was choosing Scripture for his Catholic friend’s wedding, and he told the priest he wanted to read from John 3, the priest refused his request, saying
“Sorry you cannot use that Scripture”
I can prove how screwed up Catholicism is by asking this question, (Pretend I am a a potential new Catholic, curious about Catholicism) and I say,
“What do I need to do, to go to Heaven?”
What would you tell me?
Be honest.
@@johnmathews4698
To be fair and transparent, I will give you the correct answer as to how to get to Heaven.
If a Catholic person says to me,
“Richard, how can I get to Heaven?”
I say,
“Follow the original Ten Commandments, in Exodus 20. Love Christ with all your heart and soul, and ask God for forgiveness. In other words, repent, turn away from sin. Do this in such a way that you don’t even think of sin. Jesus said, ‘If you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery in your heart.’
Than,
If you are truly sincere, the Holy Spirit (Your ride to Heaven) will dwell inside of you, forever. The Holy Spirit will teach you everything that is true and nothing that is a lie and you will not need anyone to teach you. (1 John 2:27)
Once this occurs, your life will change completely! (Born Again) You will naturally start producing ‘Good works’ that come from the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit will manifest inside of you, teaching you EVERYTHING you need to know, and encouraging you towards righteousness. (Sanctification)
Btw, you will know when the Holy Spirit is in you, because you will have the overwhelming desire to tell others about Christ, and sin will disgust you. You will be regenerated!
That’s it! That’s how you get to Heaven!
That is the true Gospel!”
John,
Does it say anywhere that I must join a religion and follow its rules? Nope!
Is it required that I go to church? Nope! Do I need to follow anything from any religion? Nope! Do I need anything more than the Bible? Nope!
You think about what you have been taught in your religion. Is it anywhere close to the Gospel that I just presented? Nope!
Catholicism made up an entirely new and unbiblical gospel. In fact, after listening to the true Gospel, the one I just presented to my imaginary Catholic friend, you will probably be embarrassed to tell your version of the Gospel?
But go ahead, give it a try.
@@richardurban2269 sorry reallllllly long
I can really tell you are excited about Jesus! Here is a little background on me: I have read most of the Bible, and can google it pretty well. I grew up with the Gospel, born again, and as an Elder’s kid. 20+ years of that, my life was stagnant, hearing the same things over and over again and no growth, no further understanding developing.
I will first ask my questions and then answer yours!
How do you define tradition? You use it a lot and I would like to know your view of it.
How do you worship God?
Do you have a verse reference for your previous post on no more traditions after the Apostles?
Answers:
The Bible is two parts: Old Testament and New Testament. The Old Testament is derived from the Jewish text called the Septugiant. This text was translated from Hebrew into Greek around 300BC and was the text that Jesus and Crew grew up with, studied, and referenced in his ministry. The New Testament was compiled around cannonized late 300AD but many historians can see that a lot of (today’s) NT was used and citied earlier than that.
The NT consists of Witness Accounts of Jesus ministry and letters to Christian communities. Early Christian leaders went and established churches, leadership traditions that were to continue on.
WHO was the bible written for: the letters were written for those particular communities. The Witness Accounts (gospels) were written, I believe, because the Apostles were getting old and wanted to tell others after their death through writings. Luke was written to Theophilus (1:3)
The truth that is in those letters can be good for Christians today!
Did God create an incomplete Bible? NO! However, not everything Jesus did is contained in the Bible (John 21:25) The traditions that were delivered (1 Cor 11:2) are not detailed. 2 Tim 2:22 mentions an oral message that is to be transmitted to others (but what was it?)
God doesn’t want human traditions interrupting His! The Christ appointed Apostles and the traditions that they set into motion….are they still in motion (is something still a God ordained tradition?) I say yes!
1 Timothy 3 does say married. It doesn’t say they HAVE to be married. Jesus touches on this in Matthew 19:12. Paul was a single Church leader (1 Cor 7:8) Catholic priest and celibacy: I don’t see a contradiction biblically.
Partial List: yes these words are not IN the text of the Bible, but the IDEA of these words are in text of the BIble.
Purgatory: has Jewish roots going to 2 Maccabees (it’s in the Septuagint) and praying for the dead. 1 Cor 3:13 mentions a purging.
Transubstantiation: the idea that bread and wine change into the body and blood of Christ. Ok. sounds odd, but a matter of Faith. John 6:53 (eat or die!) Luke 22:14 and on (do this in remembrance of me)
Assumption of Mary: I am still learning about Jesus’ mother!
Infant Baptism: what is wrong with this? As the God appointed Leader of my Family, why would I deny my child from being a part of God’s family? Households in the NT were baptized. (does this include babies? Doesn’t say)
Confirmation: Peter and John confirmed new Christians in Acts 8:14-17 Could this be a tradition that continues today?
Annulment: I assume you are talking about marriage?
Catechism: so having a book that takes all the parts of a subject and groups it together is a bad thing?
Mass: what?!? The Road to Emmaus: Luke 24: 13-35. The two disciples had some sort of understanding of what happened (13-25), then Jesus walks them through the Scriptures (the Septuagint)(v25-27). They wanted more, strongly urged him to stay! In verse 30 he breaks and blesses the bread, and their eyes were opened! Faith comes from hearing the Word of God (Romans10:17) Mass itself is a huge topic but all the parts of Mass are in the Bible!
Nuns: you have a problem with women that want to serve the Lord?
Graven Images: yes a bad thing. Very bad. Get rid of GRAVEN images. Graven: an idol or representation of a god used as an object of worship. Statues of Saints, Mary, Jesus, crucifix etc are not objects of worship. (they are not God).
John 3: Born again with Nicodemus! Baptism with water is easy. Hear the word of God, have faith, get dunked. (Acts 8:26-40). How does one get baptized with the Spirit (John 3:5)?The freewill of the Holy Spirit to come down and immerse believers can happen anytime! (Acts 10:44, Acts 2:4) Can a confirmation process by God’s appointed and passed down through time and tradition be one? (Heb 6:2, Acts 8:14-17, Acts 9:17, and Acts 19:6)
How to get to Heaven? Take the stairs not the highway.
It’s not a check the box, I’m guaranteed a slot beyond the pearly gates.
Believe in Jesus as the Christ.:: means understanding the history of Jews.
Be Baptized.. Cause its model multiple times in the OT (and Jesus told us to!)
Go and Make disciples (Mat28:19) means understanding who Jesus is!
Join a religion? Upto you I suppose. God chose His people in the Old Testament and gave them rules to follow, and that was too hard for them (even with extra laws to protect them from God’s law!) Jesus came from this people group (Jews). He came though as the Savior for his created world! I want to imitate him, to be Christ-like: Christian.
Required to goto Church?Your freewill Choice! Matthew 16:18 Jesus talks about building a Church. I would think he doesn’t want it empty.
Do you need anything more than the Bible? Well sorta. Jesus didn’t give us a bible. He gave us his Apostles (Matthew 16:19-20), the Holy Spirit (john 14:26) and Traditions.(go and make, do this in remembrance of me, etc)
The Gospel you presented is the one I grew up with. :)
If I grew up cradle catholic, and only went to mass and didn’t dive in, or give an interest into my religion history, yes the Western Culture Protestantism is way more interesting! I did grow up WCP. I know the history, some terms and phrases. And yet, I am becoming Catholic as the fullfillment of my understanding of Christianity!! I have described it as seeing in 4k vs Black and white!

(0:55) Mike's first question about why a Protestant left Protestantism for the Roman Catholic Church is "Did you ever speak out against the false and fatal gospel of Rome?" is the wrong question to ask. Mike's first question about why a Protestant left Protestantism for the Roman Catholic Church should be, "What did the Protestant-turned-Roman-Catholic learn about the Roman Catholic Church to convince them to become a Roman Catholic?"
Instead of first trying to understand why a former Protestant chose to become Roman Catholic, Mike Gendron automatically thinks his anti-Roman-Catholic beliefs are correct and the Protestant-become-Roman-Catholic is wrong.
I have been to countless Catholic mass. I found them to be lifeless, cold, and repetitive with little to no teaching of God's word. I can not understand why anyone would ever become a Catholic unless they are weak in faith and need crutches.
I am constantly amazed at what some protestants " think " the Catholic Church teaches vs. what it actually teaches.

THOU SHALT NOT LIE, THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR. So given those commandments, how do you justify perpetuating lies about the Church? Please explain your reasoning, I would love to know how you get around those commandments.
Gregory what can you expect from bias people who have been brainwashed? I don't see how anyone can be so IGNORANT and bash The Blessed Mother, The Mother Of God. I'd hate to be in his shoes when he dies and has to face God.
It appears you are so scared of the truth?

Unfortunately, too many people believe that Roman Catholicism is a valid expression of Christianity. Do you agree?
If you do not agree, than you worship a different god, and you carry a different Bible.
As a servant of Christ and a messenger for the Holy Spirit, I can assure you, Catholicism is the Antichrist. This revelation was given to me by the Holy Spirit almost one year ago. The Lord has done nothing short of miracles in an effort to make sure I understood this. Btw, I am very thankful for that.
My heart goes out to my blind Catholic family and friends. To this day, I have never met a Catholic (This includes the priest I have been debating for the last 6 months) who has a reasonable understanding of Scripture, not one.
I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible, as the Bible states for a non Christian (Catholic or any other religion) to understand God’s Word. God sends them the delusion. Not the devil, but God.
I know this is not good news for so many, but it is the truth. Religions are the devil’s playground.
Once a religion, and they all do it, tells one of it’s members that a he/she must do “Works” to gain Salvation? It is no longer following Christianity.
In other words, why did Jesus have to die on the cross if man can earn his/her own grace? It is a gift, be thankful, accept His gift, and you will quickly realize how destructive all religions are.
@@jamespalmer4992 you are being an idiot.....that's not what that commandment means...….non Catholics are not bearing false things about that system...….what they're saying is according to the bible.
Please guys DO NOT TAKE THE MARK, KEEP BUILDING UP YOUR FAITH SO THAT YOU DO NOT FAIL PLEASE KEEP CLOSE TO OUR LORD. GET CLOSER TO OUR LORD. JUST AS MARY DID. (Remember Mather and Mary).
It is unfortunate that "faith alone" has been repeated so completely. LUTHER is recorded to have said "faith alone but not by faith that is alone". Would it be accurate to say, "by grace, thru faith, apart from works?"

Biblical Proof the seventh day (Saturday) IS the Sabbath
Matt 27:62 The next day, the one after Preparation Day.......
Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, c
Mark 15:42 - It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath).
Mark 16:1-2 - When the Sabbath was over,
Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week
Luke 23:54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin
Luke 23:56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, ....
John 19:31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
John 19:42 o because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover
John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre,
btw---Matt --14:19----- Jesus "broke bread"--Communion?? No. they ate bread and fish.

@@NMDecember1 Dear Niamh, Matthew 23:9, "And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven." Notice, however, that this makes no distinction between spiritual fathers, which is what our priests are to us, and biological fathers. In other words, if you interpret this passage to say, absolutely, that no man is to be called father, you cannot distinguish between calling a priest, father, and calling the man who is married to your mother, father.
But, is that actually what this passage is saying? Or is Jesus warning us against trying to usurp the fatherhood of God? Which, in many ways, is what the Pharisees and Scribes were doing. They wanted all attention focused on them...they were leaving God, the Father, out of the equation. Which is why Jesus goes on to call them hypocrites, liars, and whitewashed tombs.
If you interpret this passage from Matthew 23 as an absolute ban against calling anyone your spiritual father, then there are some problems for you in the rest of Scripture. For example, Jesus, in the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16, has the rich man referring to Abraham as "father" several times. Paul, in Romans chapter 4, refers to Abraham as the "father" of the uncircumcised, the Gentiles. That's referring to spiritual fatherhood, not biological fatherhood.
In Acts 7:1-2, the first Christian martyr, Stephen, referred to the Jewish authorities and elders who were about to stone him as brothers and "fathers," as does Paul in Acts, chapter 22. This is referring to spiritual fatherhood. So, if you interpret Matthew 23 as saying we cannot call anyone our spiritual father, then you have a problem with Jesus, Paul, Stephen, and the Holy Spirit...they must have all gotten it wrong.
It is okay to call priests "father", just as it was okay for Jesus and Paul to call Abraham "father" and for Stephen and Paul to call the Jewish elders "father." As long as we remember that our true Father is God the Father and that all aspects of fatherhood, biological and spiritual, are derived from Him. And as long as we do not allow anyone else to usurp that role in any way, shape, or form, as the Pharisees and Scribes were prone to do.
@@NMDecember1 Catholics agree with that verse "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. But the Bible says nowhere that ONLY scripture (or Bible Alone) is used to spread the word of God. Niamh, the Apostles had no Bibles. Do some research on your Bible Niamh, the one you use. I would bet it is a version that came out of protestantism in the 1500s, and not the Catholic version (the Latin Vulgate) upon which Martin Luther (former Catholic Priest) used in his training to be a Priest. So those who are devoted to "Bible Alone" have a problem. For there was a time when there were no Bibles. Fact is, the Catholic Church gave the world the Bible around 400 AD. So using the "Bible Alone" logic, that means before 400 AD there was no Church! We know that is not true.
3:35 Has it occurred to anyone that five things that are together aren't.......🤔.....alone?
Amen x ten to the million or so.
The saddest thing of them all is that the Catholic alienation and outright perversion of the Word of God has put off millions of people who would otherwise have been believers.
look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !
Any intelligent person can read both the Catechism and Holy Scripture and find out there is no contradiction of scripture and the Catechism ... You actually get the bible from "tradition" which is what is passed down often by word and continual practice, from one generation to the next as the bible was not agreed up and compiled till 390's
So show me in scriptures where Jesus started the RCC, a sinless Mary at Birth, a perpetual virgin, is to be prayed to, is assumed into heaven, & a Co-mediatrix.
@@stever4181 1/ Jesus said "you are Peter and on this rock I build my church 2/ The rest is from the appointed Church "Whatever you bind on Earth will be considered bound in heaven .... 3/ Now perhaps you can show me where it says "" If you dont like my church start your own and if you continue to disagree make up 30 000 different churches to fit in with what you want ???
@@1234poppycat 1/ You have not shown where it is the RCC that Jesus started. There is no mention of the RCC at all in the 115 times church is mentioned. In fact, the word used for 'church' in the NT is always Ekklesia and its meaning is those people who believe Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. That is the church Jesus started. It is NOT any organized religion and definitely not the RCC!
2/That does not give any church the right to say what they want. Traditions are God's traditions, not man's. Traditions also do not qualify or change the meaning of Scriptures. 3/ Your statement is ridiculous!
@@1234poppycat oh brother😢 how you twist scripture to suit what your itching ears want to hear. The RCC is a false church, with a false gospel
That is simply a Catholic and also secular lie the Bible was not all of a sudden compiled in 390 nor was it decided there.
You have the early church leaders all quoting countless verses from our New Testament and using nothing else as authoritative which is only a quick google search away
Polycarp using around AD 90, clement of Rome, irenaeus, tertullian, etc all of which the Catholic Church have as saints I believe too ironically
The muratorian canon AD 150
Origen even in AD 240 listed all 27
Athanasius also compiled a list in AD 367
Clearly by simply reading many letters of the early church( not the fake ones) you can see the New Testament had been being passed around the churches and were being used by the church as a whole only nothing else being used.
Which is to be expected Paul tells his churches to pass on his epistles to other churches for their edification as well as Peter who makes reference to Paul’s letters that his audience would be familiar with already.
“And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
2 Peter 3:15-16 KJV
A simple history search would show to both the atheist and the Catholic that these dates assigned commonly to scoff at the word of God is false and that God himself has preserved his word form the beginning of his church by his spirit against all odds and inspire of the vicious persecution for the first 300 years.
If actually researched it truly is a great testimony of Gods sovereignty
Don't worry with the Critical text changing every year, what could possibly go wrong?
Wouldn't it be great if Gendron actually knew what the Catholic Church taught? I wonder what that would look like?
He’s a former priest. How would he not know?
@@libertyjustice5421 Gendron was not a priest but a fallen away Catholic who never knew what the Catholic Church teaches.
@@GR65330 : That doesn’t even make sense. That’s like saying I’m an oncologist but I’m not a doctor.
Why are people so hooked on a “religion” that is man made. We have but one God and His Word. If the Bible says something is wrong then it’s wrong irregardless of what man says or feels. Personally I think we should let the Bible speak for itself n toss out this religious nonsense.
@@libertyjustice5421 It depends upon your definition of the word "religion". The word 'religion' comes from the root word meaning relationship.
By who's interpretation of the scriptures are you going with to determine if something is right or wrong? Even the reformers couldn't agree on the understanding of the scriptures.
The fact is that Christ left His Church to guide us and not the bible. Since Pentecost, it was the Holy Spirit guiding His Church through the teachings of the apostles and it has been this absolute truth that was passed down by the successors of the apostles generation after generation. I think that one of the greatest defenders of the Christian faith (Irenaeaus of Lyons) stated this best in his writing "Against Heresies", when he taught:
"It is incumbent to obey the presbyters who are in the Church-those who, as I have shown, possess the succession from the apostles; those who, together with the succession of the episcopate, have received the infallible charism of truth, according to the good pleasure of the Father. But [it is also incumbent] to hold in suspicion others who depart from the primitive succession, and assemble themselves together in any place whatsoever, either as heretics of perverse minds, or as schismatics puffed up and self-pleasing, or again as hypocrites, acting thus for the sake of lucre and vainglory. For all these have fallen from the truth".
- Irenaeus of Lyons (a disciple of Polycarp of Smyrna), Against Heresies, 4:26:2, 180 AD
@@GR65330 : I’m intrigued that many do not use Scripture in comments but writings of someone else’s thoughts and opinions. I also find it interesting that God in Ezekiel was so disgusted with the Jews for placing statues in the temple and the women crying over Tammuz, ( forty days which was brought into the church as Lent) who’s mother was also known as the “Queen of heaven”, who Jeremiah prophesied about was abhorrent to God. Im sure you’re aware of Seraramis, Nimrod and Tammuz from the Tower of Babel. Much of the paganism from that time made it into the early church and has remained.
Jesus told us in Matthew to call no man on earth “father” for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
ITimothy tells us we need not confess our wrong doings to anyone but Jesus. For there is one God and one mediator between God n men, the man Christ Jesus.
As well, the belief that the church was built on Peter is not what Matthew 16:18 refers to. When Jesus spoke to Peter by name He used the word for a small moveable stone (a pebble) but the word rock, (Gr petra) means immovable foundation. Jesus was saying the church would not be built on Peter “the pebble” but upon Christ, the massive Rock and chief cornerstone of the church.
There’s many “religions” that in some form or fashion have taken pagan rituals and traditions into the church; some much more than others. However, slapping a “Christian” label on something that disgusts God, can fool people but not the Lord. Revelation in the first 3 chapters tells us about the 7 different types of churches there would be.
Pergamos comes to mind, which represents the 4th century Rome. If your theology is wrong, so is the doctrine.
After Alexander the Great died, his four generals split up the territory he had conquered. We see this in our history books as well as in Daniel. Antiochus Epiphanies slaughtered ever high priest in Jerusalem and thus began the tradition of giving church titles to the highest bidder. This was eventually a very lucrative business for the church since society did not own bibles and had to rely on wolves in sheep’s clothing.
We can also look at history during the time of Nero and Constantine. It’s very clear that both paganism and the early church were melded together. Then the Roman church began burning, torturing and killing anyone who disagreed with them after Martin Luthers 99 thesis that was nailed to the church door exposing the apostasy of church leaders.
Lastly, the inquisition is what drove people to look for a place where they could forge a Judeo/Christian/bible based country away from persecution.
All that to say….that is why “religion” if fickle and sways as the winds blow, but the Word of God will never die and not return to Him void (Isaiah 55)
I do appreciate the response tho 😉
(3:35) "Remember the Reformers Cry" slide. The five Solas that Mike Gendron presents are the reasons why there are currently 30,000+ Protestant denominations who all interpret the Bible different from one another.
quote Just one verse in the Bible that says we are to accept the writings of others as the truth.
Why did Martin Luther describe the "Letter of James" as "a right strawy epistle" and want it removed from the Bible?
He didn’t just “want” it removed from the Bible, he threw it out of his Bible! Why? Because Martin Luther’s personal fantasy religion was based on “faith alone” despite the fact that no Christian in 1500 years had ever believed such nonsense and Our Blessed Lord specifically preached the opposite. Anyway, the ONLY time that “faith alone” appears in the Bible is in James with the words NOT BY right in front of them!
James 2:24 Revised Standard Version 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
You understand that there are multiple places in the bible where it says we are saved by grace alone through our faith? Like when Jesus said all those times that those who BELIEVE will not perish. We are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves. How much more clear could that be? Not of ourselves?? What then does not of ourselves mean? Did we have any part in our salvation but only our faith in the FINISHED work of the Lord Jesus on the cross? Acts 16:30-31 describes what WE do. He says it right there. What must I DO to be saved? And what does Paul say?? Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved? Or does it say, believe, go to mass, do good works, merit the grace you should recieve, ect. No it says believe. It's right there.
What's also right there is in v32 it shows that they spoke the word of the Lord to them. As if it had some higher authority. They couldnt just tell him what to do and walk away. He had to hear Gods word. Find me one spot in the bible where it says that there is any other authority over the very word of God?
Then real quick go to John 19:30 and bask in the Lords words. IT IS FINISHED.
What is finished? When we believe and nothing else that must mean that Jesus' sacrafice was enough and it was was sufficient. Done. Paid. In. Full.
Martin Luther was not a moral example to follow. And in James 2, James is talking about your faith being seen by others. God does not need to see fruit to know your faith is real.
Please, do research for yourself and dont be catholic. Be a biblisist. Contend for your faith. Know it to be true. And also. You dont work for a gift. Salvation is a free GIFT from God. It's not a gift if you work for it, it's a wage. Since catholics like to make sure we are using words right like faith alone, being found in the bible. Tell me, what is a gift if you work for it. Really think about all this stuff. Your eternity is at stake.
I also forgot to mention, the bible specifically says God will not be a debtor to man. So if we work for any part of our salvation then God owes us and the bible is clearly against that.
@@adamnichols7051 What you are saying is illogical and when you quote from the bible you are very selective and do not find anything that supports your view unless you deny logic or what was actually said in context. You have not found Jesus saying "you are saved by faith alone " Because it is not in the bible. You say "Acts 16:30-31 describes what WE do. He says it right there. What must I DO to be saved? And what does Paul say?? Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved?" If you believe in him you will follow HIS Word. So yes Jesus tells us about eating his body and blood (John 6 + 14 other scripture supporting references) Again you come up with ""John 19:30 and bask in the Lords words. IT IS FINISHED. " That is when Jesus died on the cross his role as a human had finished we could receive salvation if we follow his Word … it is an action and a belief.
@@1234poppycat Would you please provide scripture to prove your point? Maybe dont forget the context as well?
@@1234poppycat Don't you think that if there was any righteousness through the law or good works then Christ died needlessly? If you could gain righteousness through following God and obedience then why did Jesus die?
At this point I just want a friendly discussion with the outcome that might be one of us sees the truth.
I once asked a member of the Roman church, you're Christian? No was their reply. I'm catholic. May the Lord bring him into the Light.
I often wonder what kind of spirit animates people like Mike Gendron who are very sincere, earnest and convinced of what they believe. As a Catholic, I find Mike's teachings to be absolutely senseless. His understanding of Catholic teachings is far from true.
it's protty pride. they also don't like feeling convicted in their sins and would rather pretend there is nothing they can do to help or hurt their salvation
MIKE'S a fallen away catholic who left the church after 34 years cuz he could not reconcile the FACT he was living in sin against her truths. LOOK AT THE MAN, HES A HERETIC, HIS NET WORTH IS OVER 25 MILLION DOLLARS. HE FLIES ROUND THE WORLD ON PRIVATE JETS , HOB NOBBING WITH THE LOST AND THE RICH. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A TRUE BELIEVER. SATAN IS HIS MASTER.
Read James Ch. 2
I listened to John Macarther until I literally heard him state: you can receive the “MARK OF THE BEAST AND STILL GO TO HEAVEN” (so much for John Macarther)- I certainly hope you don’t follow this heresy-
Very true. These guys speak "almost truths". They are like Jehovah's witnesses. They pick and choose things and or take things out of context. Like where this guy says priest tell us to deify a wafer. That is bullpuckey. My priest consecrated a wafer. Jesus did the exact same thing 2,000 years ago with bread and wine COMMANDED us to do the same in his memory. How is that deifying anything?. We are moved by our faith in Jesus words that "this is my body" figuratively speaking that prompts our belief that it actually is. Nobody deifies anything.. I have yet to pray to a wafer, consecrated or not. I may show reverent respect because of the actions of the priest. But deify? Hardly that.
I just took so many issues with this guy and his oh so gentle way of "teaching" how wrong Roman Catholics are. Our beliefs are spelled out plainly in the apostles creed. Also in the Nicene Creed. He claims purgatory is not in the Bible. I beg to differ. I am an ignorant layperson and he a self professed bible scholar of some 30 tears. Even I found the scriptures alluding to it. Not as purgatory per se, but a place of cleansing fire... As was mentioned in the article I read. What need of prayer would a person condemned to hell have? Likewise a person already in heaven would need no prayer so when Matthew and Peter and 2 maccabees implore us to pray for those in the next world. What else would they be speaking of?
Mary as free from sin. That would be absolutely necessary in order for her to bear the Messiah, Emmanual, the Christ in her very body! As the Son of God and as God himself, He could not possibly get next to anything impure. That is that!. Praying TO Mary? We do not. We ask for her intercession as the mother of God. Who would he most likely respond to? I am guessing good ole mom!. Hail Mary prayer is in the Bible. At least 1/2 of it. Her visit to her cousin Elizabeth upon finding out she too was pregnant with what turned out to be John the Baptist. She said. "Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb". This guy is only pointing to almost truths. Just another in a long line of subjugators of the papacy. As a man the pope is in no way infallible. But we believe when acting on behalf of the church he has the same authority as Peter, the first pope. Who was anointed by Jesus as "the rock, upon whom I will build my church". I look forward to my time in purgatory because that will allow me that final cleansing prior to entering into my blessed eternity with God. Amen.
where can i please watch John Macarthur say that?
I think he spoke about this recently regarding NOT taking it.

I'm pretty convinced that only God can open the eyes of our understanding individually when we show him we are seeking truth, reconciliation, and relationship with him.
My grandma went to church religiously and gave 10 percent and made my papaw do the same under compulsion. And if ever the Bible was mentioned she would suggest the way to be right with God was to follow the 10 commandments. Now how can a lady go to a Baptist church that many years and still not know anything? She didn't want to hear anything about the Bible after I got saved and wanted to talk about hings I've read and learned. It would make her visible shutter and fidgety then I would quickly be inturpted to state the obvious about the surroundings or change the subject to something irrelevant.
Well she's dead now but I hope she wasn't trusting in her keeping of the commandments to get into heaven because Jesus Christ is the only one of us to ever accomplish that.

8:00, just because you use different words doesn’t mean your five “solas” aren’t your own tradition and magisterium. I read the Bible and see the Catholic tradition, you read the Bible and see your tradition.
Also, you only believe the Bible because that’s what the Catholic Church has always taught. So you’re following our tradition too.
Amen. It's funny how Mike won't admit that he is relying on the reformer's interpretation of the Bible compared to the early church fathers. He'd rather take the 1500s over the first few centuries of rich early church history. Absolute smokescreen, no such thing as sola scriptura.
The Reformer's interpretations come from the early church fathers and from scripture, so no smokescreen. Sounds like you agree with what Mike covered just after the 8 minute mark, which makes Mike right.
Will you go to Heaven?
Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain?
Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H_ll. But God is not willing that any should perish.
Sinners broke God’s Law and *Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case:*
*"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have you life.”*
Then Jesus rose from the grave, defeating it. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you. (living waters/ray comfort)
God bless you.
I’ve listened to this man. I feel for him for he is sincere, but awfully deluded. His criticism of Catholic practice lacks any understanding. Catholics don’t worship statues. Do you worship your family by treasuring a family photo. Do you worship a hero by admiring his statue. Catholics venerate the personality represented by the statue, and treasure the resemblance as a way of placing themselves spiritually near the person depicted. As for the a Eucharist., read John 6. Why oh why do Protestants so vehemently demand that the Bible is true, word for word, but refuse to apply the same rigorous to the Eucharist. John 6 says it all, but protestants seem to want to shuffle around this. Why? Is it too hard to believe that God can do anything? Or is it because they can’t accept that they just have it wrong. Pride is pretty awful when it separates one from Christ.
If you study the Gospels you’ II find that the universal , Catholic Christianity is actually following the words and desires of Christ. Yep it’s been lead at times by not so holy people, and money cannot buy you heaven, but it’s teachings have never varied from the authentic teaching handed down from Christ to his apostles and so to us. I challenge you to think again before you fall into the flawed ways this preacher is proposing.
You: "Catholics don’t worship statues"
Me: No do you pray to them, kiss their feet, turn to them and talk to them, Honor them. All these things are what the pagans did to their idols. Wake up and smell the coffee, you are deceiving yourself.
Our God is not a God of chaos and confusion. If they can apply, any Tom, Dick and Harry can do it. The Mystery of Christian faith established by Jesus Christ is not as simple and shallow as one might think.
scriptures say faith without works is dead. People need to read their scriptures. you are talikng both sides of your mouth. Going to church is works, serving the poor is works and reading scripture is works, baptism which even Jesus did is works. Jesus did works, keeping the commandments are works, praying is works. you are so wrong
Even coming to faith, that initial ascent saying I BELIEVE is a work of the intellect. I work of love to our creator.
I thought all those things was fruit. That has nothing to do with our salvation through jesus christ
Works do not save you. Salvation is a gift from God . Works are evidence that one has been saved through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thinking that you can "help Jesus" with the atonement is heresy. Baptism is an outward expression of the inner change. Read Romans 10;9-10.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 11:6
But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Do not be deceived. Do you honestly believe you're going to get into Heaven without doing any good works whatsoever? What did Jesus say in Matthew 25:31-46? Why are the Goats going to Hell? And "indulgences" are in the Old Testament. It's called the Sacrificial System where you "paid" to have your Sins forgiven.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty
You mean the types and shadows in the Old Testament that were signposts of Christ death and resurrection?
Which is why he’s compared to a LAMB who was sacrificed ONCE not over and over again in the Eucharist but he is seated at the right hand of the father and in dwells every believer fully by his Holy Spirit and the righteousness of Christ is Imputed when we get born again.
“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, And in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
Hebrews 10:10-17 KJV
“who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.”
Hebrews 7:27 KJV
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
John 1:29 KJV
It doesn’t matter what kind of addition you add or take away from the gospel nor does it matter what label you claim Paul makes it very clear to the Galatians who had Jews who believed on Christ but wanted to add works and traditions to salvation and the received Paul’s harshest letter in the New Testament that should set an example for all who want to follow Christ.
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
Galatians 1:6-9 KJV
Goats go to hell for the same reason as other parables such as Paul’s parable of Isaac and Ishmael Abraham sought the promise God made by his own effort and produces the bond child Ishmael , cast out the bond child and through faith Abraham trusting in Gods promise was Isaac born
People who trust in there own merit are children of bondage(ie ishamel) people who trust in the promise by faith alone are of the promise ( ie Isaac)
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”
Romans 11:6 KJV
Also just to clarify it’s not just indulgences if you pick up a catechism and or just go on a catholic apologetic website you can find a defense of all sorts of unbiblical doctrines the Catholic Church added over the last 1700 years. Quick one from my cathecism which contradicts Roman’s 11:6
CCC 2027, “Moved by the Holy Spirit, we can merit for ourselves and for others all the graces needed to attain eternal life, as well as necessary temporal goods.”
And not Christ merit plus our own merit but also Mary’s good works and various saints mix and match so you can hopefully meet the requirement that Christ already met for you
1477, “This treasury includes as well the prayers and good works of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They are truly immense, unfathomable, and even pristine in their value before God. In the treasury, too, are the prayers and good works of all the saints, all those who have followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord and by his grace have made their lives holy and carried out the mission in the unity of the Mystical Body.”
Works salvation, purgatory , Eucharist(Christ is dying over and over folks), Mary the co mediatrix, praying to the dead saints, penance, the Pope/Vicar of Christ ETC.
Not to mention just flat out lying and misleading people to believe that the Roman Catholic Church has been around since Christ established is non sense. The Church of Rome did not form realistically or start to exist in its current form till after Constantine who set the example for the office of the pope sadly. But over time if you read actual history and not revisionist history the degrade of the Church of Rome happened gradually from mid 4th century onward with the merging of church and state proving to be deadly.
Perhaps the church will change the 9th commandment though shalt not lie just like they changed the 2nd commandment.
bottom line the church is known for changing or outlawing the scriptures when it doesn’t conform to there man made doctrines.
Again old arguments refuted centuries ago.
Yes, you are right. The false religion of the Roman Catholic church and its wicked abused and idolatry were exposed and continue to be refuted by Scripture alone and all of Scripture.
Like most RC doctrines, made up centuries ago and passed off as being Apostolic. There are no new teachings that pop up and were from the Apostles.

Why Mike is preaching against the RC? Roman Catholic, Protestant, Revival, Presbyterian, Salvation Army, Seventh day Adventist etc, all of them are believers of Jesus Christ? If we believe and obey Him, and born again Christians, we are saved by His grace.
There's good money in this lifetime in attacking the Catholic church.
@@bridgefin There is even greater riches in the Vatican. I am personally aware of priests going to a dying person and telling them to put the Catholic church in their will so their time in purgatory will be lessened. You follow a cult and can't see it.
Mike the Protestant reformation was lead by a immoral, man Martin Luther. Martin Luther called Jesus an adulterer saying that Jesus committed adultery with the woman at the well and then with the other woman. Martin Luther mocked the 10 commandments saying it makes men impotent and he called the Epistle of James the Epistle of Straw. Martin Luther encouraged people to sin saying " No sin can separate one from the Lamb even if you fornicate and murder 1000 times a day" While Jesus Christ said Sin no more.
The Protestant Reformation was led by an immoral man Luther n callee Jesus an adulterer)
Oh dear Roman Cath Augustine monk read The Bible n found 95 heresies of his church n dared to question the mega monilithic Roman Church n Thank GOD he launched The Protestant Christian Reformation!!!
James 2:24-26
You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same manner, was not Raʹhab the prostitute also declared righteous by works after she received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way?+ 26 Indeed, just as the body without spirit* is dead,+ so also faith without works is dead.+
Just seen one of his other videos where he tells of his life to 36 years when he became a protestant and afterwards.. He is very economical with the truth as he reinvents himself he omits his time in Australia where he fell out with one protestant church after another …… now he uses the fact that his audience do not know about Catholicism, just what he tells them which is largely out of context and / or lies.
AJA Deacon
Unfortunately, too many people believe that Roman Catholicism is a valid expression of Christianity. Do you agree?
If you do not agree, than you worship a different god, and you carry a different Bible.
As a servant of Christ and a messenger for the Holy Spirit, I can assure you, Catholicism is the Antichrist. This revelation was given to me by the Holy Spirit almost one year ago.
My heart goes out to my blind Catholic family and friends.
@@richardurban2269 My heart goes out to all those following the hate preachers and those who make a living lying about the Catholic Church. Be like Dr Scott Hahn a protestant pastor critic of Catholicism who went to Catholic Mass to see first hand how "Catholicism teachers a different bible" was amazed to find the Mass was entirely biblical then HAD to give up power position etc to become a Catholic as he was a true Christian
AJA Deacon
I am not a Catholic hater, it was actually the last thing I expected. I have listened to Scott Hahn, seriously, he does not speaks on God’s behalf.
There is a lot of money involved for those that leave God’s Word to return to the Antichrist. The devil makes sure of that. Scott made a career out of it. I noticed on Scott’s podcasts, 10 were on Mary and one was on Jesus. His relationship with a dead person, (Jesus mother) who has never heard a prayer, is truly sickening.
I became a Catholicism hater, after I was born again. Jesus said we must be born again, to get to Heaven. Everyone who is born again receives gifts from the Holy Spirit. I did, my wife did, and we know what gifts we received, as they are incredible gifts!
I have been researching this for a year, and I have never found a Catholic with any of the gifts? You don’t have any of the gifts. The biggest lie a Catholic person is taught, is that they have been born again. Trust me, from a person whose life changed completely on February 10th 2019 (Born again) you have not been born again.
Do you think you been born again? If you think so, do you know what day it was? Do you know what gifts you received? You don’t. Catholic’s always try to claim they have, but they get caught in their lies.
When Jesus says you must be born again to even see Heaven, much less enter Heaven, you must admit it is very important? In 42 years of being Catholic, no priests ever spoke on the topic! I did not learn about it until I started reading the Bible.
As a Catholic,
How do you get past 1 Timothy 4? How do you get past Revelations 17?
Does your brain not see the words clearly printed on the pages, describing Catholicism as the Antichrist? The amazing thing is, you will tell me, “It’s not talking about Catholicism” God sends you that delusion. Keep that in mind, it’s not the devil, it’s God. How do you expect to go to Heaven, when God is sending you delusions? I debated a priest for 6 months, he was also completely delusional on Scripture.
You have been given the message, what I tell you is not only true, it must be true. On Judgement day, you will have no excuse, Jesus will say,
“I sent a messenger who told you the truth, My Holy Word, told you the truth, but you rejected all of it to follow a religion.”
Do you want to live with Christ on earth? I promise you, not being Catholic is the first start.
You can call me 608-772-6412. You can verify that all I have told you is true.
@@richardurban2269 1/ You are right there is a lot of money for those who leave Gods Church for the anti Christ that is if you believe Gendron was a Catholic to begin with. 2/ Scott Hahn had a series of Podcasts on Mary so obviously 10/11 on Mary would be right but overall Mary is not the focus Out of his 42 published books just one is on Mary!! 3/ You say ""I became a Catholicism hater, after I was born again. Jesus said we must be born again, to get to Heaven. Everyone who is born again receives gifts from the Holy Spirit. I did, my wife did … "" If it has lead you to hate like Gendron I would suggest it is Satan that has lead you to your sorry state. 4/ I am Born again … when I was baptised (John 3 ) in the Catholic Church and at Confirmation 5/ Nowhere does the bible even hint that Catholicism is the Anti Christ but Jesus says to Peter the first leader "You are Peter and on this Rock I build my Church" 5/ Do you really think God sent a messenger saying leave my Catholic Church for one of the 40 000 protestant man made ones ???
AJA Deacon
Wow!!! I cannot believe this? It Is fascinated, I gave you the verses! Tell me again, you said,
“Where does the Bible even hint of Catholicism being the Antichrist?”
Read these verses again and again, (In both cases you don’t need to go beyond verse 5). See if you can find Catholicism being described? This is for my research.
Once I was born again, about a week later the Holy Spirit lifted the veil of misunderstanding from the Bible! I could now understand it. This is really an incredible event!
Note:
He lifted it a few days earlier for my wife and she was so fascinated with the Bible that she only slept a few hours a day, the rest, reading the Bible, this went on for a week.
Again, this is a very noticeable event, we had tears in our eyes, we were so happy! I was reading the Bible for the first time! (Although, I had read the Bible on and off for 55 years) I want you to experience that!
I did not listen to Catholics haters, I just read the Bible. The Bible is totally incredible! Every word in it is true, even Genesis. Of course Catholicism does not believe in Genesis, fools.
Last year, (2019) I spent 2,000+ hours studying the Bible! It only took a few weeks for me to realize, like millions and millions of others already know, that the demonic faith was the very faith my parents taught me to respect.
I had no doubts what the Lord was showing me. This is why there was a reformation 500 years ago! Because millions of people have been saved, and of course properly understand the Bible.
You said I am in a sorry state? I used to know God very little, and now I work for Him! My Catholic family and friends say the same, they say Satan has entered me? Perhaps you are all right? God says you will know by the fruit. Since being born again, I spend my free time with others spreading the Gospel! Studying the Bible constantly! I doubt that comes from Satan, just the opposite in fact.
No AJA, I really think your gasping at straws here, Satan does give people the will to spread the Gospel to everyone they meet. When your saved, you become part of God’s family, God starts letting you see truths, not only that but He guides you through the Bible, helping you to understand it clearly. It’s amazing!!
1 John 2:27
You obviously could not answer many of my important questions, but don’t worry no other Catholic can either.
What gifts did you receive from the Holy Spirit? Don’t lie to me, you will get caught and look silly.
Does your priest ever speak about what happens when your born again?
Never!!!!
The biggest lie Satan’s Church wants you to believe, is that you have been born again, although it’s never spoke of? Your told that when your a child. It’s up to you to figure out whether it’s true? It’s not. Admit it, you were told this, it’s man made. The Catholic Church teaches you that the Holy Spirit is in dwelled in the Catholic Church and you are baptized into the church. How goofy is that? (Remember, no not one man is good, not one) The Bible speaks on being born again, a lot, and I promise you, you have NOT been born again!
Here is what a Catholic fool says, “I was born again when I was baptized”. Oh crap, that’s what you said! Well, it’s still the truth. If I were you, I would want absolute proof that I was born again, and I would not stop until I have the very noticeable gifts from the Spirit. Perhaps getting to Heaven is not a priority for you? If not, then don’t worry about being born again. I’m sure Hell can’t be that bad?
As for Peter, Jesus did not build His Church on the pebble (Peter, Petros =small pebble) He built it on Peter’s proclamation. Think about it? Jesus is the Rock, it says so more than 30 times in the Bible. The Church is being built on Jesus. Use some basic logic!
Don’t believe anything that you cannot read in Scripture.
As for the Lord leading me to 40,000 denominations? Why do all Catholics believe this crap? I am not in any denominations? I don’t know of any of those that I fellowship with that are in any denominations? Let me say this, if anyone is following any man made doctrines, they are not part of God’s family.
Catholicism is nearly identical to Mormonism, a lot of man made nonsense in both, and both believe it’s followers will become gods. CCC841 The Catholic Church also wants to join with Islam. Evil begets evil I guess?
If your following Christ, following only His Word and accepting His Grace as full payment for your sins, your not in a religion. Your a Christian.
Once people have convinced you that what Jesus did is not enough, and the Bible is not enough, your in a religion.
Spiritual people go to Heaven, religious people don’t.
Last 2 are wrong, those are calvinistic not true tradition prior to Augustine.
Last 2 what? You're complaining but not proving.
Its awful how religious leaders and priests. Pastors bend. Twist snd distort. Gods word i belive in jesus christ and his works. I dnt need a priest
Pastor. Or anyone to speak to god for me
I dont need a building
A church. To speak to god
I was babtised into roman catholic faith not of my choosing. But i have faith
No man has any right to come between me and god.
Faith without works is as lifeless as a corpse.
Just a dang second. He didnt read the bible till he was 35? Theres no way he was an actual Catholic.
Catholics are told to not read the Bible for themselves but to just obey what the Pope and Bishops tell you (even if you find out later that they contradict scripture).
I was married to a catholic. She is 70 years old now and has never read the Bible. Most Catholics have a Bible for decoration but NEVER read it.
@@SBluesBrotherhood yup, just like Mormons
When speaking of “Faith alone” - what is Faith?
No doubt there are mistakes in the Catholic teaching, but you can find many false teachings among the Evangelical Churches as well.
Regarding the justification, the Reformation is relying solely on the wrong interpretation of St. Paul's doctrin and on sentences taken out of context from the St. John's Gospel.
None of the Bible citations supporting the Reformation doctrin of salvation in this video comes from other parts of the Holy Scripture, especially not from the other 3 Gospels.
Salvation by faith? Yes, by faith not only in God's existence and Jesus's redeeming sacrifice, but also by faith in God's word - which is the starting point of "living" God the Father's and Jesus's commandments, of bringing them into realization in our life. It's not possible to keep the moral commandments without having faith they are the true word of God. This faith, prior to following the commandments and accompanying the ever ongoing striving to keep them, it is what St. Paul ment by faith.
He didn't abolished the commandments (if so, then only some which are ritual in nature, like the circumcision, some eating laws etc.), he just reversed the order from " we must keep the commandments in order to be saved" into "we are saved, therefore we must keep the commandments".
Regarding the salvation, keeping them isn't optional. You can see this in all the other parts of the scripture, but also by St. Paul.
For instance:
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not bedeceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God". (1Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS of God is what matters".
(1Corinthians 7: 19)
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love." (Galatians, 6:6)
Please notice: Not a 'Faith alone', but a 'Faith WORKING' through the works of love:
"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:" You shall love your neighbor as yourself.""(Galatians 6:14)
Being freed from the law is for St. Paul conditional:
"But IF you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law." (Galatians 6:18)
And he explained, what does it practically mean to be led by the Spirit:
"Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentious ess, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like, of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in the past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, piece, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law."
(Galatians 6:19-23)
St. Paul substitutes the old Judaic law with a new law of Christ, which is an even more demanding law:
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
(Galatians 6:2)
To believe (as understood by the Evangelical Churches) is an easy task which can be accomplished in few minutes. Following Jesus's commandments is a task for life.
The Catholic Church puts emphasis on obeying God, and it makes up for many of the flaws in its doctrine.
in your new religion, is it a sin to tell lies and bear false witness?
Do Catholics tell lies and bear false witness? They are the originators of lies and false witness.

this video has more of biblical foundation than roman catholicism and many other false churches. i don't need to know every conflicting theological interpretation of history, to have salvation. it is by faith- through repentance, in Jesus that saves. being born again, is a mind and heart issue, it is not a bunch of man-made requirements. do you not see the simplicity of truth. if the catholic church was guilty of just half, of what was presented in this video, than it clearly has issues.
part of the problem is that you are wrong, but you keep talking.
Serious suggestion for truth seeking brethern sitting in pews to do your homework before listening to such preaching, lest you should ingest poisons of God's adversaries without even realizing it.
True statement read the Bible as your source not what a man-made religion says about the Bible. Then Pray and listen for answers. above all run don't walk away from any religion that states they are the only religion and you MUST only listen to them. This is exactly the tactics of cults.
Listeners see: Truth unedited regarding rapture. See also Joe schimmels left behind or led astray video. The rapture also is false
Luther teaches “It is not in opposition to the Holy Scriptures for a man to have several wives.”
Christ teaches fidelity not adultery
Luther was not infallible, he was a mere man like your popes and everyone else. The Bible is our only authority, not any man. Try becoming a critical thinker. Your eternity depends on believing on the real Lord Jesus Christ not the fictitious Jesus of Rome.
@@joeiiiful Jesus of Rome? Do you know what Roman Catholicism is?
WE listened to LUTHER EXCEPT re THE BOOK OF JAMES- no martin, this is Scripture- you are wrong!!! James 2 ATTEMPTS top crumble the 5 solas. I call it the greatest oxymoron " Merited GRACE""
John MacArthur just said if you take the Mark of the Beast... you can be forgiven if you repent. Deceiver.
On the night he was betrayed, Jesus spoke-repeatedly-about the need for Christian unity. Among other points, he said that it would be by Christians’ love for one another that the world would know they are his disciples. Mr Gendron seeks to always be divisive and does not fulfil Christ's request.
Unity in the truth of the gospel, not traditions of man. Apostle Peter was sent to the Jews only, not the Gentiles ( anyone outside of Jewish traditions & faith ) Jesus admonish His disciple to only go to the circumcised. It was Apostle Paul who was sent to the Gentiles when he was converted on his way to arrest the converted fillers of Jesus Christ. Jewish traditions taught have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GENTILES. Apostle Paul’s conversion is in Book of ACTS
@@lauriecollins7312 Peter was eventually sent to Rome the citadel of the gentiles Yes Paul went to the disciples and clearly Catholics know about Pauls conversion in Acts because the bible was compiled by Catholics in 390's at the Council of Rome and Synod of Hippo ... The bible came out of tradition !! -- Words and stories passed on orally mostly !! Come to Christ in his catholic Church and leave the hate -- get a true relationship with Christ he will transform your life like he has done for me and my friends and ex protestant hate preacher pastor Dr Scott Hahn (read some of his books as a guide)
@@lauriecollins7312 I ended up coming out of the RCC. I studied enough and finally realised it was teaching a false Gospel.
Duh! The Catholic Church has, since 33 AD, protected the word of God and protected it from mistranslations, that’s why all mistranslations have been banned.
Martin Luther removed seven books from the Bible and rearranged them to suit his interpretation of the Bible.
The Catholic Church has, and continues to protect the Word of God.

Is a man-made document written to support a religious view. it is *NOT* God's word or His view.
You demonstrated a lack of understanding of scriptures which *IS* God's word. Sadly you place more importance on man's word than you do God's.

Of course "The Catechism of the Catholic Church" is a man-made document written to support (and instruct) what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. The Catechism teaches Catholics that Mary is sinless, a perpetual virgin, assumed into heaven, to be prayed to, and is a co-mediatrix. The Catechism draws on the Bible (God's word), the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of the saints.
You got the best answer to your request of "Show me in God's word where Mary is sinless, a perpetual virgin, assumed into heaven, to be prayed to, a Co-Mediatrix"
I don't understand why you made such a request as a reply to @McBallful's original comment because your request for info about Mary has nothing to do with what @McBallful wrote. Why not instead tell us your thoughts about each of @McBallful's points, which are:
1. The Catholic Church has, since 33 AD, protected the word of God and protected it from mistranslations, that’s why all mistranslations have been banned.
2. Martin Luther removed seven books from the Bible and rearranged them to suit his interpretation of the Bible.

Mark 16:1-2 - When the Sabbath was over,
Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week
Luke 23:54 It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin
Luke 23:56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
Luke 24:1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, ....
John 19:31 Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
John 19:42 o because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. 42 And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover

@@1234poppycat I would have to disagree with you on MacArthur. He has a very good knowledge of Scripture, and I have not found one thing that he is wrong about when it comes to Romanism. The Roman Catholic church is a false church, spreading a false gospel, and worshiping a god and Jesus that are not the One True Living God and Jesus of Scripture.
@@JustaSlaveofChrist Just like Gendron MacArthur is a hate preacher who lies about Catholicism … one of his videos "At the Catholic Mass they take down Jesus from the cross and crucify him again and again for each mass" The truth is as we say in the Eucharistic prayer it is "a one living and perfect sacrifice to God " The recollection AND the Actual presence of Jesus is as he commanded in John 6 and 14 other scripture verses. Now is MacArthur ignorant or a liar ?? You decide.
@@1234poppycat MacArthur is neither ignorant nor a liar, as your own comments show. You say that during the Eucharist Jesus' actual physical flesh is present in the wafer, and Jesus' actual physical blood is present in the cup. Therefore, by your own admission, Jesus' actual physical blood is poured out for many -- from the cup -- each and every time you have Mass. That is to say nothing of the Roman teaching that you are gnawing on and eating His actual physical flesh (which, by the way, is cannibalism and condemned by Jesus). But the pouring out of Jesus' blood for many is a re-sacrifice of Jesus, over and over and over again. And, by the way, there is nothing in Scripture that says Jesus' actual physical flesh and blood are present in the elements. The Roman church has been misunderstanding, and misleading many on, those passages for centuries. Both Jesus and Paul refute the very idea that Romanism teaches.

You are a sad example of the way the false church dupes people. You need to get away from quotes from men and try Scripture only and all of Scripture. Repent and believe on the real Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. If not you are already condemned and under the wrath of the only true and living God. Read the Bible for a change. Read John 17:3, then read carefully and prayerfully the following :
The Gospel of John
Romans
Colossians
PHILIPPIANS
These are a good beginning.
The Testimonies and Teachings of Christ and The Apostles John, Paul, Peter, James, Matthew, Luke, and Mark are Clear in their writings. THEY are the True Original Church Fathers and the New Testament is the original and highest Divine Revelation which shows us the First 50 Years of the First Church.... And guess what. The Original Church Fathers/Apostles and the First Church had NO Papacy, NO Statues, NO Cathedrals, NO Prayers to Mary, No penance, No Rosary, No Prayers to any Dead people, NO Robes, No crowns, No throne, No Scepter, No Relics, No Purgatory, No Indulgences, Most APOSTLES were Married, Apostles had clear Miracles and Spirit filled Qualifications and direct experiences with Christ himself, Believers were all reading and Studying the Scriptures Daily, They were breaking bread and having communion daily together in their homes, All believers were referred to as Saints, Salvation is received by Faith alone at the New Birth and the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit that is Never revoked/lost/reversed...

Is that your best shot? 😂 😂 😂 😂
Mike you exalt Martin Luther although here are the exact words from heretic Martin Luther.
Luther teaches: “Christ committed adultery first of all with the women at the well about whom St. John tell’s us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has He been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalene, and thirdly with the women taken in adultery whom He dismissed so lightly. Thus even, Christ who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died."
I offended them and my family bec I must obey God of Heaven
Constantine brought paganism and Christianity together causing the great falling away.
In the Bible God forbids us to eat human flesh and to drink blood. THIS IS A SATANIC RITUAL.
In the Bible God says to call no man father and do not do repetitious praying like the heathens do.
In the Bible God says He is the only one who can forgive sins through His Son Jesus. There is no other way.
Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through Him alone.
Who do you think Jesus was talking about in Revelation 17:4-5
The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication.
And on her forehead was a name written MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT. THE MOTHER OF HARLETS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The catholic church is full of idols. They deleted God's 2nd Commandment 'Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness that's in heaven, on or under the earth, in or under the sea. Thou shalt not worship them or bow down to them' and they halved the last commandment to make up ten.
There is an obelisk outside the vatican which represents Nimrod, sungod worship. Mary represents semi-ramas symbolised by a crescent moon and baby Tammuz is camouflaged by baby Jesus in Semi-ramas arm's.
There is your MYSTERY BABYLON.
I love the Catholic people and so saddened that 1.3billion are being deceived.
I know Jesus loves them because He says in the Bible 'COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE AND DO NOT PARTAKE IN HER SINS AND RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES'
Jesus said THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
It is BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH WE ARE SAVED AND NOT OF OURSELVES.
We need to humble ourselves, repent of sins, accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and believe He died on the cross for our sins, was buried, arose from the dead on the 3rd day, ascended into heaven and sits on the right hand of God.
We need to be born again in The Holy Spirit and we become a new person. The Holy Spirit, dwelling in us gives us comfort, peace, joy, encouragement and helps us to overcome sin and guides us in good works but not of ourselves.
Jesus wants us to have a personal relationship with Him. Pray and walk close to Him.
We cannot work our way into heaven. Jesus says our works are like filthy rags. He paid for our sins on the cross. Before He died He said 'IT IS FINISHED' and the curtain separating the sacrificial alter was ripped from top to bottom.
Jesus was the sinless sacrificial lamb that took on the sins of the world.
It is by GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH WE ARE SAVED AND NOT OF OURSELVES.
The true church of Christ consists of those who have been born again in The Holy Spirit, have become a new person in Christ and follow Him. His bride. His New Jerusalem.

So that is satanic too
It is unfortunate that "faith alone" has been repeated so completely. LUTHER is recorded to have said "faith alone but not by faith that is alone". Would it be accurate to say, "by grace, thru faith, apart from works?"
