- Catholicism VS Christianity
Is there a difference between Catholics and Christians? Is the Word of God the only book that is infallible? In this video, I discuss the many differences between Catholicism and Christianity and why there is only one way you can be saved: by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
1st Peter chapter 2, verse 9 says, "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." Jesus is our only Great High Priest; by Him alone, we can get to the Father.

Hi
Catholicism and Christianity we are all under one body of Christ, I don't understand why people like separation alot, we're one(sons and daughters of God collectively)
Jesus is lord!.
i watched 1 of your uploads bout lgbt and was impressed u were interviewing the author of a book. i am baptised catholic u have quite a lot of catholics viewers i do not know your background but i hope your video is not a attack on the catholic church.
Preach about God not church...

My daughter goes to Christian school, and we attend a Christian church, but my husband grew up Catholic and refused for a very long time to go to a Christian church. I have been praying for my husband to come to church with us and accept Jesus. Well, it's been 3 weeks now, thats hes been going to our christian church and loves it. My husband says that listening to me give our daughter lessons from the Bible and raising her in christinaity, it sparked his interest since he never really understood the stories in the bible and no one ever explained it to him. I know God heard my prayers. He touched my husbands heart and sparked that interest. 🙏
Praise the Lord, my husband and I were raised catholic, I was born again 07-14-2016 and prayed for my husband for 2 years finally he said I’ll try Christian church but we need to go to Catholic Church too it only took one visit to Christian church and he loved it, didn’t go back to Catholic Church, he’s born again praise God hears our prayers, God Bless your family🙏❤️
So interesting that you and your daughter being interested in the word of God can make people around you being interested in it as well. Your testimony has affirmed that being interested in the word of God can have possible impact on people around me, and it makes me want to be more open about my interest in the word of God

Hi pastor Vlad I listen to a lot of your sermons thank you you’re so clear and easy to understand! Keep up the good work for the glory of our Lord Jesus!! Would love to talk to you about my experience and ask you some questions, when you have some time.
@@erikarivera4824 that's a bot. A scammer
@@christandlove123 for heaven's sake! You're right !!! Joined 8 hrs ago !! Saying, let's talk, let's pray. It's a bot !!!
I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church. At the age of 43 years, the Lord, open my eyes to the truth of the Scriptures. I repented of my sin, and trusted Christ to be my savior. I have been walking with Christ for the last 40 years and it’s a most wonderful thing that could ever happen to you. I am assured that when this life is over, I will step into eternity with my Savior Jesus Christ.
You left the Church founded by Jesus for something man-made that suits you better. You think Jesus likes that? No! That's called arrogance. Remember what Jesus said in Mt 7:21-27. You should pray on this. In 1 Tm 3:15 we are told that the Church (singular) is the pillar and ground of the truth. Not some man- made way but, the Holy Church left to us by Christ.
Richard, what a bitter, salty papist you are.
Mike has confessed to trusting in Jesus as his saviour and yet you criticise him.
Why?
Because he sees no need to count beads, pray to statues, eat magical bread etc?
The title alone is wrong coz tell me who Christians are?. And do you presume that Catholics are not Christians?. There is only one true faith and Church and she is the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. All other religions are rebelling against the Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and instead listen to false teachers like this guy. You have said it right that all other Christians split from the true Church of Jesus(Catholic Church) built on Peter as written in Mathew 16:16-19, John 21:14-19 etc.. and therefore, they fulfilled a prophesy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Where is it mentioned in the Bible that the Bible alone is the supreme authority?.2 Thessalonians 2:15 explains traditions. John 17: 17 says thy word is truth and the pillar of this truth is the Church( 1 Timothy 3:15). There is only one true Catholic Church who guides and preserves the truth(Word of God) against heretics and Jesus left a shepherd for His Catholic Church(John 21:14-19) and that authority has been passed on from Peter as the first pope to the current Pope. In fact the Bible is against the protestant false teachings of faith and grace alone as shown in these verses Ephesians 2: 8-10, Mathew 5:14-20, James 2:14-26, 2 Timothy 3:16 etc.. Also read about the stories of the rich man and lazarus, goats vs sheep etc.. So there is one faith, one body, one spirit, one Baptism, one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church under one lord Jesus Christ.
@@thesmallchocolateguy9331 hahahhahah, do not make me laugh, PAPIST!
So many religions, all think they have it all right.
I am a Catholic and just like others in this comment section, it saddens me to know that we are not considered as Christians by my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I cannot judge for only God knows our hearts. But to whoever is close to the spirit of Christ, you are a Christian 😊. Blessings on every believer.
As an ex-catholic, please read the Bible. There's nothing Christian about the RCC.
@@mushihimesarna728 and does it say anything about Protestantism?
I think you should watch the whole video cause you clearly didn't. Don't make assumptions without even watching the whole thing.
@@theretardnerd1053 I'm not a protestant. Wherever we meet, that's the church. We're the church. The idea of Jesus was to destroy corrupt organized religion.
@@theretardnerd1053Which is exactly why non-denominational is the way to go.
"We do these acts not because we want to be saved, but because we ARE saved." ✝️
That hit me right in the heart!
@@David19746Romans 10:9
@@greenlight-_xx6224 Romans 10:9 refers to initial justification, not final judgement. Plenty of epistles illustrate this doctrine, one example being Hebrews 10:26-39. Furthermore, many Protestant denominations (Lutherans, Methodists) and the Orthodox churches reject "once saved, always saved" as heretical.
@@David19746 Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace ... that you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
9 Not by works, ... so that no one can boast.
@@David19746 ALL works ... are works of the Law, ... as the basis for the Law is ... "Love God completely" and "Love your fellowman as you love yourself."
@@indy317 Once we are justified, we do not face judgment as does nearly the rest of the world that never comes to Jesus before they die or He returns.
And of course Catholics reject ‘once saved, always saved’ partially because it’s not accurate since the reborn can lose their salvation by rejecting Jesus and turning from the faith or by blaspheming the Holy Spirit which is the one unforgivable sin.
But more to the point Catholics reject it because the entirety of their teachings is focused on keeping their laity in a perpetual state of fear of damnation and denying them the peace with God that Paul recognized Christians possessing in Romans 5:1.
Mass would never be needed ever again if they accepted ‘once saved, always saved (unless you leave the faith). Confession would never be required again (confessing to a priest, rather than just praying directly to God to confess and ask forgiveness). Neither would their concept of purgatory remain, which would also cost the Catholic Church tens of millions, or more, each year in the form of ‘indulgences’ which is nothing more than a bribe to get the deceased out of an imaginary lesser Hell and into Heaven!
One good thing that would come from Catholics accepting it would be an end to the Catholic practice of necromancy-praying to Mary and a vast number of ‘saints’ that all died hundreds to thousands of years ago!
Thank you so much for covering this. I was raised Catholic and most of my family is Catholic. Last year, I left the Catholicism and became a born again Christian. It took me nearly dying twice and actually reading the Bible and then comparing it to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (and a LOT of guidance from the Holy Spirit) to make the conversion. I am grateful for your boldness and love of the body of Christ.
i am a catholic and pratice i am sad that u decided to abandon Christ and his church . i pray that u come back to the true faith and the sacraments of the church and u do not die in heresy . U say u were guided by the holy spirit are u really sure or was it a evil spirit now u are without holy communion .
I don’t know why Catholics and protestants can’t just be one in Christ. I know we have some history with the reformation, but just because one Christian has a slightly different doctrine of salvation than you or practice Sacraments doesn’t mean that their dammed to hell IF they live a godly life and truly believe that Jesus is, Lord, we should not be condemning other Christians to hell that is between them and God.
@@Fictionalre there is a big different between catholics and protestants . Jesus founded the church there its has a apostic tradition going back to the St Peter the first pope where as there are thousands of different protestants sects since the reformantion . There is 1 God 1 church not thousands.
@@qwer8907 but we all know worship the same God Jesus Christ just because Catholics believe in their apostolic succession and Protestants don’t,doesn’t mean that we should damn each other to hell now don’t get me wrong there is a place to draw the line on who can be saved Mormons and Jehovah witnesses obviously cross it.But Protestants Catholics and Eastern Orthodox are all Christians
@@Fictionalre Exactly!
I was raised a Roman Catholic most of my life. However, at a young age the Holy Spirit opened my eyes when I saw all the statues and the first commandment came to mind. It was Good Friday and people were bowing down to a 12 ft statue and kissing it's feet. I was so convicted that I could not do it. I absolutely refused. My aunt cried all the way home because I would be going to "hell". Twenty years later my dad became born again, started a prayer group which became a church and was the pastor for 26 years. He was my pastor, my friend, and my confidante. He passes away three years ago from cancer. I miss him so much but I know one day we will see each other again. Praise God!
At the end for me it comes down to the early Christians were killed for believing in the eucharist read justin martyr died 164 ad about what early Christians believed. The bible came from the church the church from christ.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been lied to.
”Wherever the bishop shall appear, there, let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. “( Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Chapter 8)-St.Ignatius of Antioch, 107 AD
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of St. John the Apostle and was installed as the 3rd Catholic Bishop of Antioch by St. Peter the Apostle (most likely) after the 2nd Bishop Evodius died. Evodius was the person who coined the term “Christian.” Traditon says Ignatius was one of the children Jesus Blessed in scripture.
You did not understand that the statue was a representation of Our Lord. Like kissing his picture.
No to idolatry and bowing down to statues. God hates idolatry and He punished Israel for it. He will punish and destroy the catholic church for teaching Jezebel's teaching of idolatry.
I grew up and was baptized catholic. Even though they are so similar I’m beyond grateful I am now a reborn Christian. The truth and the way is through Jesus and that’s it.
U abandon Jesus by denying his church like the jews who crucified our saviour who wanted a there own version of a messiah so do u the real church that Christ institued from the cross is not good enough for u are u ashamed of been catholic u do not want the sacraments u do want his the virgin mary dear u are a true heretic
You are in a diabolical haze of confusion, because you are not intelligent enough to study history and the Protestant cancer that has infected the Western world, where God is now blasphemed and stepped on because of the evil Protestant satanic spirit of rebellion.
Same here! Amen!!
That’s me also.

CHALLENGE = Can = you= or any Protestant answer the most basic and necessary question on Christianity
Question = Why did Jesus incarnate as a man and die on the Cross ??
(( Note = It would be helpful to read the following 26 points numbered from A to Z before answering ))
The what what what what what? Not a soul needs to be interested in your 26 points. It's if you believe in Jesus and he's your lord, then you will do what he says, not what a particular denomination, separate text, or man/women that is not aligned with Christ says.
You want to know everyone, why you sound insane or someone else does when they talk about an assortment of things yet they call themselves Christians? Simply they are not hooked up to the head who is Christ, they head of every man is Christ, and the body is his bride. Nonsense can't stay for long in the mind and heart of the one who is truly following Jesus, but nonsense is the bread and butter of those who have left christ for a Pope, Pastor, or other person in the place of Jesus as lord.
@@stephenbrown7307 The 26 points are vital to distinguish between the Truth of the Gospel which is practiced by Catholics versus the falsehood of Protestantism. These 26 points align with the the reason why ==Jesus incarnated as a man, died on the Cross and declared = It is Finished ?
The Bible and OT begins with the = Fall = in the Garden of Eden of the man Adam who was given the directive by God to not eat of the forbidden =TREE= Gen 2;17. Eve, on the other hand, must have learned of this directive from Adam. The result of the Fall was to render the ground cursed and Adam and Eve dismissed from the garden Eden.
The NT begins with the birth and = Rise = of Jesus, the spiritual Adam =1 Corinthians 15:21-23 = , who redeems man by His death on the TREE ( cross ) and is then buried in the Garden.
What the Bible does = not = state is that God slammed the gates of Heaven shut after the Fall because Adam and Eve had taken on the nature of the devil. For when confronted by God, Adam blamed God = the woman YOU gave me = Adam also blamed Eve. Eve likewise blamed the devil ( serpent ). Instead of asking forgiveness from God who walked with them = Gen. 3:8, they played the Blame Game as children of the devil = 1 John 3:8 = and thus God had no option but to expel them from Eden and made them and their descendants ineligible for Heaven, through = Original Sin. This Original Sin is what Jesus came to pay by His death and shed Blood, as well as reverse God's curse on the ground. Thus the Tree which was the downfall of mankind now became the symbol = the Cross = of man's redemption. And the Garden where Jesus' body was laid now became the symbol of man's eligibility to Heavenly Paradise and thus has reversed the shame of his ousting from Eden and the reversal of the cursed ground.
Third, the Fall of humankind began when Eve listened to and obeyed the = Fallen ANGEL =who is the devil. On the other hand, Mary listened and agreed with the = ANGEL = Gabriel to be the mother of Jesus who became the Redeemer. by His death on the TREE of the Cross. . Catholics thus believe that Eve brought about the Fall, whereas Mary contributed to the Rise of Mankind and have no problem in calling Mary = Co-Redeemer.
Fourth, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God called out to Adam = only = and he replied = I heard you in the garden, but I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid myself = Gen.3:10. On the other hand, when Jesus, the spiritual Adam, was nailed to the Tree, He was rendered naked in the sight of all passers-by = John 19:23 = with no way to hide.
Fifth = 2 facts = First, Jesus was crowned with thorns.
Secondly =“And being in agony, Jesus prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke 22:44).
This = sweat Blood = of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, added to Jesus' thorn-crowned head, reversed and made satisfaction for God's curse in Genesis 3:17-19 = “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce = thorns and thistles for you and you will eat the plants of the field.19 By the = sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground,
Thus Catholics believe that Jesus came down from Heaven as a man to die and pay the penalty of Adam's sin which closed the gates of Heaven and imposed Original Sins on all Adam's descendants - you and me.=== It is Finished = was Jesus' triumphant cry of Mission accomplished and that Heaven gates were now opened. Moreover, Jesus' death and shed Blood paid for and covered the = Original Sins = of all those past, those now living as well as those yet unborn. Furthermore, Baptism is a - one-time - Grace event which washes away all our prior sins. However, we are responsible for all sins after Baptism - as confirmed by Jesus' " execution " of Ananias and Sapphira from the 1st Christian Faith community - Acts 5. And this was shortly = after = Jesus' heavenly ascent.
Jesus expects = More = from Christians as we have the best example of Jesus Himself = Luke 12:48. Moreover, the Cross is the very symbol of Christianity. The long vertical beam represents our love for God and the short horizontal beam represents our love for Neighbour. For God is the God of Love and heaven is the perfect place of love. And that is why God expects and demands our practice of love whilst on earth so as to qualify for heavenly entry. Even the final judgement is based on love - Matthew 25.
Thus Catholicism promotes the sacraments, especially that of Confession and Holy Communion, as well as Mass attendance, Eucharistic Adorations, Stations of the Cross, Benedictions, Novenas, etc.
Moreover, the 4 Gospels speak of Jesus' = Tough Love = message ===If you Love Me, keep My commandments, especially the Love of God and Neighbour. Jesus also defined a Christian as one who = Denies oneself, carries one's cross daily and follows Jesus.
On the other hand, Protestants have a different belief from Catholics as to why Jesus incarnated and died on the Cross that they have consider themselves = inheritors = of Christ's saving act and thus their need to do no more than have Faith in Jesus to be " saved " which they mean to be granted Heavenly citizenship. Thus they deny the need for works as these are considered " boastful." Basically, Protestants have shifted their gaze and focus from the 4 Gospels which detail Jesus' teachings which were given by the Heavenly Father for our salvation, teachings which spell =Tough Love = and have adopted " cherry-picked " passages mainly from Paul's letters such as Romans 10:9 They believe that God will forgive all sins, not only those against God but even sins against neighbour, forever = despite Jesus' warning in Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:32-35 = and have adopted the Doctrine of = Saved by Grace = Ephesians 2:8-9 - and that all sins past, present and future are covered by the Blood of Christ.
Protestants believe that Jesus came to earth to die and take away all sins and its guilt association. His cry - It is finished - proved that human redemption from sin was completed, and that those who believe in Jesus would have their names forever written in the Lamb's Book of Life and at the time of death, they would be - absent in the flesh, present with the Lord forever - no matter how many or how grievous they committed sins. Others would be caught up and - raptured - to be with Jesus forever. Thus the promise of salvation was God's free gift - grace - to them.
Protestantism is a religious philosophy - a hearer and not doer of the Word thus deceiving themselves - James 1:22. While there is belief in Christ to be sure, there is no substance, no forms of worship and thanksgiving to our God Jesus for His - WORKS - of creation and redemption. There is no Confession as per the formula that Jesus gave on the very day ( evening ) of His Resurrection from the dead , when He - empowered - His Apostles to forgive sins - or - retain them- John 20:22-23. There is no participation in Holy Communion which Jesus declared was - Real Food and Drink - for ETERNAL LIFE - John 6:53-58. Even their churches have no kneelers to kneel and bow down before our God and Maker. And there is no difference between Protestant marriages and - easy - divorce and non-Christian ones. Protestants deny the need for Good Works despite that the Great Judgement is based on Works - Matthew 25 And Jesus gave an example by doing a - World of Works - John 21:25

The best advice I can give anyone its how i found out the truth. Open the bible and read it from start to finish. If you want to go to church on Saturday or Sunday fine. Once you are familiar with the word of God you will be able to discern if what the pastor is saying is truth or of they are just misleading people.
💯
I’ve read the Bible and I still don’t see the part where it says scripture is the only authority.
@@sonicgeeksquad4g106 if u don't know the scriptures..how can u know some one telling truth or false? Better to know yourself whats right or wrong..
God words are all for us .. not only for father or pastor else
@@sonicgeeksquad4g106 just ask Holy Spirit to open your eyes and ears. If you have to, have the Bible app read to you while you follow along in your Bible.
The key is allowing Holy Spirit to teach you. He is so wonderful! I love when He teaches me new things as I'm learning how to walk with Jesus every day.

Used to be Catholic and I am now a born again Christian, follow the teachings of the bible not of religious leaders.
How do you define born again biblically?
Catholics are also born again Christians.
I was brought up catholic as well my whole life until mid 30's. No matter what I did, I never understood anything no matter how many times i've heard it. The current pope was the last straw for me that i realized i'm following men and traditions not Jesus. I found a new church that only reads from the bible, I've been reading the bible more and more and I've become a reborn Christian. Thank you Jesus for saving me and dying for all my sins past, and future.
@@elizariosantos1252 Being Born again comes through repentance, once someone repents from their sins(meaning they turn away from them) and fully surrender their lives to God, then they are able to be born again. Meaning that they have a spiritual birth that comes from the Holy Spirit, no longer am I living the same sinful way (fornication, lying, gossiping, etc) but I am letting the Holy Spirit renew my mind and my life for Godly change. Catholics do not believe in being born again or that it gives eternal life, Catholics have to follow the sacraments (religious rituals) in order to have eternal life, which is unbiblical. They believe in Mary and while I was in Catholic school we prayed to her and completed the rosary all the time since Catholics believe that Mary is a mediator of our prayers and also that saints can hear our prayers and intercede for us, this doesn’t actually work since they are in heaven and are dead (the bible says that the dead know nothing and that only God can hear our prayers). Jesus is the only intercessor and mediator of our faith. There was never any spiritual presence of God in my life because I wasn’t truly following Him. Continuously completely religious rituals and trying to be righteous by human efforts will not grant a person eternal life, we can never earn our way to God, but we can let Him into our lives to transform us from our old sinful way of living that doesn’t produce any life but death and have Him take hold of our whole lives with full surrenderance to His word and His will which will grant eternal life.
Here’s some verses:
”Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”“
John 3:3 - Being Born Again
”Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.“
2 Corinthians 5:17 - New Life in Christ
”Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.“
Hebrews 7:25 - Jesus is the Only Intercessor for prayer
”But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags“
Isaiah 64:6 - Our Righteous Deeds in the eyes of God
“For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” - 1 Timothy 2:5

Amazing. I was given a prophetic word that said to remember Jesus is my high priest after order of Melchizedek forever. I was praying about this for 2 weeks to really understand and today this video popped up. I was Greek Orthodox Byzantine Catholic as a child and converted over 20 years ago to Christianity. My family did not and did not understand. God speaks. Amen!

What do you know about Melchizedek?!?!
This man I think he can't live without wife that's why he objected about catholic because in catholic priest are not allowed to get marry
:)
You were already a Christian and your ignorance is both worrying and sad
This was very enlightening because it’s a question I’ve pondered for years. I grew up Catholic and my mother is hardcore catholic, attending daily mass and sometimes going to confession twice a day, but I have adopted the Christian teachings of the Bible. I think you did a great job illustrating that Catholicism adds extra steps to be saved, whereas the Bible does not have these steps. I also value the personal relationship with God vs feeling like I had to go through a intermediary /priest to confess my sins.
you would do well to talk to your mothers priest... Nowhere in the Bible does it say Bible alone !! Catholicism is based on the Work of God direct and the early Catholic Christian Church as seen in the letters of the New testament Look for the You Tube "Debunking 10 Misconceptions about Catholicism "
YOU = I have adopted the Christian teachings of the Bible
ME = Why are Catholics = true = Christians.
Why do Protestants = not = understand the reason why Jesus incarnated as a man, died on the Cross and declare= It is Finished?
Protestants thus arrive at doctrines that are heretical as they spell = Easy Christianity and cheap Grace = contrary to the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John which speak of Jesus' = Tough Love = message ===If you Love Me, keep My commandments, especially the Love of God and Neighbour, even enemies
Jesus also defined a Christian as one who = Denies oneself, carries one's cross daily and follows Jesus.
And = More = is expected of Christians as we have the greatest example of Jesus = Luke 12:48.
And Jesus' parables, often prefaced by = the kingdom of Heaven = or = the reign of God = require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " as well s wise virgins carrying oil = or else we will be denied heavenly entry thru the narrow gates = Matthew 7:14.
The reason why Jesus incarnated was to redeem the = curse = caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience
The Bible and OT begins with the = FALL = in the Garden of Eden of the man Adam who was given the directive by God to not eat of the forbidden =TREE= Gen 2;17. Eve, on the other hand, must have learned of this directive from Adam. The result of the Fall was to render the ground cursed and Adam and Eve dismissed from the garden Eden.
The NT begins with the birth and = RISE = of Jesus, the spiritual Adam =1 Corinthians 15:21-23 = , who redeems man by His death on the TREE ( cross ) and is then buried in the Garden.
What the Bible does = not = state is that God slammed the gates of Heaven shut after the Fall because Adam and Eve had taken on the nature of the devil. For when confronted by God, Adam blamed God = the woman YOU gave me = Adam also blamed Eve. Eve likewise blamed the devil ( serpent ). Instead of asking forgiveness from God who walked with them = Gen. 3:8, they played the Blame Game as children of the devil = 1 John 3:8 = and thus God had no option but to expel them from Eden and made them and their descendants ineligible for Heaven, through = Original Sin. This Original Sin is what Jesus came to pay by His death and shed Blood, as well as reverse God's curse on the ground. Thus the Tree which was the downfall of mankind now became the symbol = the Cross = of man's redemption. And the Garden where Jesus' body was laid now became the symbol of man's eligibility to Heavenly Paradise and thus has reversed the shame of his ousting from Eden and the reversal of the cursed ground.
Third, the Fall of humankind began when Eve listened to and obeyed the = Fallen ANGEL =who is the devil. On the other hand, Mary listened and agreed with the = ANGEL = Gabriel to be the mother of Jesus who became the Redeemer. by His death on the TREE of the Cross. . Catholics thus believe that Eve brought about the Fall, whereas Mary contributed to the Rise of Mankind and have no problem in calling Mary = Co-Redeemer.
Fourth, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God called out to Adam = only = and he replied = I heard you in the garden, but I was afraid because I was NAKED, so I hid myself = Gen.3:10. On the other hand, when Jesus, the spiritual Adam, was nailed to the Tree, He was rendered NAKED = John 19:23 = with no way to hide.
Fifth = 2 facts = First, Jesus was crowned with THORNS. Second =“And being in agony, Jesus prayed more earnestly. Then His SWEAT became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground” (Luke 22:44). This = sweat Blood = of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, added to Jesus' thorn-crowned head, reversed and made satisfaction for God's curse in Genesis 3:17-19 = “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce THORNS and thistles for you and you will eat the plants of the field.19 By the SWEAT of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground,
Thus Catholics believe that Jesus came down from Heaven as a man to die and pay the penalty of Adam's sin which closed the gates of Heaven and imposed Original Sins on all Adam's descendants - you and me.=== It is Finished = was Jesus' triumphant cry of Mission accomplished and that Heaven gates were now opened. Moreover, Jesus' death and shed Blood paid for and covered the = Original Sins = of all those past, those now living as well as those yet unborn. Furthermore, Baptism is a - one-time - Grace event which washes away all our prior sins. However, we are responsible for all sins after Baptism - as confirmed by Jesus' " execution " of Ananias and Sapphira from the 1st Christian Faith community - Acts 5. And this was shortly = after = Jesus' heavenly ascent.
Jesus expects = More = from Christians as we have the best example of Jesus Himself = Luke 12:48.
Moreover, the Cross is the very symbol of Christianity. The long vertical beam represents our love for God and the short horizontal beam represents our love for Neighbour. For God is the God of Love and heaven is the perfect place of love. And that is why God expects and demands our practice of love whilst on earth so as to qualify for heavenly entry. Even the final judgement is based on love - Matthew 25.
Thus Catholicism promotes the sacraments, especially that of Confession and Holy Communion, as well as Mass attendance, Eucharistic Adorations, Stations of the Cross, Benedictions, Novenas, etc.
Most Protestants have a different belief from Catholics as to why Jesus incarnated and died on the Cross that they have consider themselves = inheritors = of Christ's saving act and thus their need to do no more than have Faith in Jesus to be " saved " which they mean to be granted Heavenly citizenship. Thus they deny the need for works as these are considered " boastful."
Basically, Protestants have shifted their gaze and focus from the 4 Gospels which detail Jesus' teachings which were given by the Heavenly Father for our salvation, teachings which spell =Tough Love = and have adopted " cherry-picked " passages mainly from Paul's letters such as Romans 10:9 They believe that God will forgive all sins, not only those against God but even sins against neighbour, forever = despite Jesus' warning in Matthew 6:14-15 and Matthew 18:32-35 = and have adopted the Doctrine of = Saved by Grace = Ephesians 2:8-9 - and that all sins past, present and future are covered by the Blood of Christ.
They believe that Jesus came to earth to die and take away all sins and its guilt association. His cry - It is finished - proved that human redemption from sin was completed, and that those who believe in Jesus would have their names forever written in the Lamb's Book of Life and at the time of death, they would be - absent in the flesh, present with the Lord forever - no matter how many or how grievous they committed sins. Others would be caught up and - raptured - to be with Jesus forever. Thus the promise of salvation was God's free gift - grace - to them.
Protestantism is a religious philosophy - a hearer and not doer of the Word thus deceiving themselves - James 1:22. While there is belief in Christ to be sure, there is no substance, no forms of worship and thanksgiving to our God Jesus for His - WORKS - of creation and redemption. There is no Confession as per the formula that Jesus gave on the very day ( evening ) of His Resurrection from the dead , when He - empowered - His Apostles to forgive sins - or - retain them- John 20:22-23.

Protestants deny the need for Good Works despite that the Great Judgement is based on Works - Matthew 25 And Jesus gave an example by doing a - World of Works - John 21:25
My sister is a young nun in South America . Besides a life of preyed she’s on the street feeding , bathing and caring for the poor daily . You gonna tell me she’s not a Christian ? She’s more of a Christian than many pastors . She’s doing the work !
She's following a lie.
It's the works and the faith that counts , the rest to be left to the Holy Spirit for discernment. Definitely a Christian , your sister. ❤
Doing good works does not mean you have the Holy Spirit. There are many cults that do good works but they ultimately lead people to hell such as the Mormons, JW's, and Catholics. In fact, that is a common trait of cults they stress the importance of good works.
It's not by works that we're saved...
Amen! God continue to please aide and protect her doing his work!🙏🏽
I was born a Catholic and left that religion and became a Protestant. I felt lost and confused in Protestantism when I read the Bible, apostolic father's, church fathers , I then return to the Catholic church and got the fullness of Jesus Christ in it. Some people think that my life in Christ is culture, how much I pray that God's grace fall upon them and be saved as well. Watching from Swaziland
Praise be to God for your coming back to our church 🤍🙏🏻
Protestantism is deceiving. Sola scriptura is not the way. We need authority and tradition.
He mentioned everything but doesn't talk about how the Catholic church believes in the holy trinity.
Every other church allows divorce and remarriage. Where as the Catholic church will say "nope, once was enough" unless you're a widower. Seeing how much families are affected by divorce... I really believe in Catholicism now after understanding the holy trinity.
@@yungganon187book of Ezra and Nehemiah, really explains why we don't need tradition.. Jesus is the only with true authority.. God bless you.
@@yungganon187 The authority and tradition of the Mother Harlot has cast down the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, as the High Priest of the order of Melchizedek and ONLY mediator between man and God. It has cast down the fact that every believer in Jesus Christ (globally) is a PRIEST that is to give spiritual sacrifices unto the father.
They've cast down these explicit biblical truths and have supplanted it with departed Mary & Saints as mediators, and the clergy of the Mother Harlot as priests, effectively removing Jesus as high priest and only mediator, and robbing the body of believers globally from their priestly inheritance & functions.
It's CLEAR why the Mother Harlot is so adamant about teaching the heresy of "Tradition" above scripture, and "authority of the clergy" above scripture, because it's clear that their teachings contradict biblical truth, which is the hallmark of a doctrine of demons.

Satan would like nothing better than for us to waste time on this topic instead of harvesting for the kingdom. We should not judge each other.
While I appreciate your sentiment and devotion, if you really knew the Holy Spirit as a Person, you'd know that He convicts, uproots, breaks down and cuts away before He heals and unites. There is no unity without accountability, false teachings and doctrines need to be honestly addressed and examined in the light of Who God says He is in the Scriptures. God is not just a heap of sentimental love as we understand it. His love often seems brutal and cruel but He ALWAYS has our best interests, our sanctification in mind.
@@forgoogletotrack7181You spoke the truth, I can’t understand why they don’t get it.
You should unsubscribe from this heretic false prophet and follow some traditional Catholic channels, learn about the pre Vatican II Church, learn Latin, receive Communion on the tongue, preach the gospel to these false religions.
@@forgoogletotrack7181At the end of the day we cannot grasp God. We have his word, and as long as a catholic reads the bible and has a relationship with Jesus, I really don't see the issue. This is a very unnecessary division, you cannot judge whether or not God would oppose anyone, for you are not God. And funny about the false doctrine - the catholics gave you the bible. Although I'm not catholic myself, I can still see the value in people uniting traditions with Jesus. Tradition unites societies. There's a book of Max Weber called "Selbstmord". It's about a study that sheds light on how protestants are more than 80 times more prone to suicide than catholics. Not to say any is better, but there definitely was a time in history, where the church actually saved people from one of the greatest sins - and that just with the motion of uniting one another in one holy apostolic church, rather than depending on your personal perception. Which is limited, as is everyone's
Excellent video! Touched on the most important differences in a clear and concise manner.
Thank you pastor Vlad. You are very good at explaining Truth in a loving way. I am 67 now, and grew up in the Catholic Church. I was born again at the tail end of the Jesus movement. I had parents that were both converted to the Catholic church. Dad was Baptist, mom was Methodist. They raised me and my 2 sisters in the Catholic Church. The Holy Spirit was moving mightily across our nation in the mid to late 70's and both my parents were born again and baptised in the Holy Spirit. They remained in the Catholic Church but attended Charismatic prayer meetings and Bible studies at a couple Catholic churches. Godly Seeds were planted in my life and while in college I accepted Jesus a lord and Savior and was water baltised and received the gift of the Holy Spirit and He has given me discernment over the years praise God! I am non denominational and love my Catholic family and friends dearly and will share your video with prayer hoping I can win them all over to Jesus. Religion kills. Jesus gives Life.
"Are you born again-the way the Bible understands that concept?" If the Evangelical has not been properly water baptized, he has not been born again "the Bible way," regardless of what he may think.The Born Again Movement traces its origin early in the 19th century.Born Again Movement arrived at our shores in the late 1930’s and gained its popularity in the 70’s and 80’s which is considered the golden era of Born Again Movement During these years membership in various Born Again Churches increased because they where able to infiltrate mainline Protestant Churches and had lured nominal Catholics into their fold.However their steady growth ceases starting the year 1990 and their membership declined in the succeeding years. In the year 2000 Born Again Churches from the United States sent their missionaries in the Philippines to re-established the Born Again Movement and this time their primary mission is no longer to infiltrate Protestant and Catholic Churches but targeted the youth in schools particularly college students.Born Again evangelist does not want to discuss the history of the Christian church, in their Bible studies with their prospects, they intentionally limit the discussion to the Bible alone. They conceal the history of the Christian religion because it will show that their movement did not originate from the apostles. It is necessary for them to negate history because St. Paul warned us not to accept teachings that did not originate from the apostles Gal.1:8 and Born Again Movement evidently cannot trace the history of their church into the time of the apostles.Clearly Born Again evangelization has deception as its chief foundation and they even used selected passages from the Bible to deceive people. They usually start evangelizing by asking ambiguous questions such as “Are you saved?” or “Are you born again?”, if the person answers “no or I don’t know” they will tell you that you must accept Christ as a Lord and Personal Savior in order to be born again otherwise you will be damned to hell. And if the person will answer “yes” they will invite you to their church and worship with them. And if the person is a Catholic that would mean that you have to leave the Catholic Church and do away your Catholic beliefs about Mary, the Saints, confession etc. Let us be vigilant not to fall to the snares of the Born Again movement.😎😎

”Wherever the bishop shall appear, there, let the multitude of the people also be; even as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. “( Letter to the Smyrnaeans, Chapter 8)-St.Ignatius of Antioch, 107 AD
St. Ignatius of Antioch was a disciple of St. John the Apostle and was installed as the 3rd Catholic Bishop of Antioch by St. Peter the Apostle (most likely) after the 2nd Bishop Evodius died. Evodius was the person who coined the term “Christian.” Traditon says Ignatius was one of the children Jesus Blessed in scripture.

As a recovering Catholic, I agree with everything you’ve said. Now a born again Christian
You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, but to glean this from OUR book, the Bible, is just plain silly…
History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their individual lists of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time, growing in numbers of hundreds of “inspired” NT writings. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
Vlad your teaching is so beautifully presented and so true to the Faith of our Savior Yeshua 🙂
One thing I’ve noticed is that Catholics always tell me don’t depart from the real church of God ( catholic ) when I tell them about me practicing Christian beliefs but Christians always tell me don’t depart from God when I tell them about me practicing Catholicism so in some way it made it easy for me to choose Christianity because they’re more focused with ur relationship with God while with Catholicsm is more of following the church and popes orders . I was raised catholic and it made me atheist but after 10 years Christianity made me realize who God is and I’m so devoted to God now I would’ve never though atheist me would ever

I almost thought I was crazy as the Holy Spirit was speaking to me. But, he led me to read the Word, and then, the scales fell. I used to be a choir mistress, a lector president, a confirmed Catholic. I feel so renewed ❤ no words to explain the extent of Joy. The word of God is indeed enough. The more I read the word, the more my eyes opened ❤
I was Protestant for many years but am so grateful to be fully in His Church as of Easter 2023.
Watch Dr Gavin Ortlund
@@theknight8524 I do watch him. He is my favorite Protestant apologist.
I'm catholic thus Christian
While living my faith as catholic Christian, i had a personnal encounter with Jesus.
It's laughable that so many think catholics aren't christian. Lack of knowledge and study in the matter bugs me. If people don't know the faith properly, they should stop speaking about it. Catholics were the first christians. Glad u still love your faith. I am still catholic but have fallen away. Catholic in my heart though, always. God bless.
Can you please tell me.i would love to hear?

@@theperson4yearsago565 I meant hear lol. I'll fix it now
you cant be both, didnt you watch this video before commenting?
Im Catholic and I almost left the Church thanks to protestants teachings, but thank God I stayed and I am so glad. The more you discover the faith the more you fall in love with it. Yes is true, the Catholic Church has failed in many aspects but I forgive the Church; because number one the Church is made of humans, of sinners who make mistake one after another. People change but the one thing that doesn't change is the Word of God. So if you are looking for the perfect church you won't find it. Look for God with sincere heart and you will find Him. I love the Lord, I have a personal relationship with Him, and I am fulfilled.
By the way, many things people say about the Catholic Church is a lie. Many of the people who convert are the ones who barely go to church, who never read the bible, who don't pray and then when they convert they say so much stuff that is not true. True Catholics live the faith; true Catholics have a personal relationship with God! So, to many of you out there confused and criticizing, maybe you should read the book by Scott Haan. There are so manh books of Protestants coming back to Catholic Faith that I find it incredible because if Catholics are false, why Protestants are coming back?
People, look foe God with sincere heart. If you are Catholic or Protestant, look for God and not for the right religion etc. But I know where I was and I know where I am now and I know where to go now. Amen

True.. 👍👍
I partly agree with you. Jesus is not Protestant or Roman Catholic, but Jewish
No Church is perfect you are correct. Jesus did say though 'you must be Born Again' John 3:3/7. Not Roman Catholic Protestant not Orthodox.
Absolutely 💯💯💯💯true!!!
Thank you pr.Vlad for explaining in detail 🙏🤝❤️🔥
I was a Catholic for 34 years. Praise God call me in the right path. I am now a born again Christian, was baptized 2 months ago. ❤🙏
That’s awesome. Doesn’t really matter whether you’re Catholic or Christian, as long as you pray to the most high and read the word. Baptism is only once, if you go from Catholic to Christian.. you don’t need to be baptised again.
count sacrilege among your sins
Praise God!! I'm glad you are on the right path! Glad you got baptized as a Christian! Doing it again is not a sin and there's not commandment against. Praise God!
@@patriceagulu8315 My friend, there is more than one baptism, there is also the baptism of the Holy Spirit
Well u have lost your way now.....hope the Lord have Mercy nd bring u back.
As a Catholic. June 28,2018 I was struck by a car while on my bike... And 3 months later I had died and came face to face with God. Just after being reboring again. I was sent back. And all hell broke lose. It was then I started watching the bible on my TV over and over again to try to figure out what's happening with my life. It was then I had stumbled across the answer all people need to know.... And it's this. When you watch the movie on his death. And watching his mother and siblings started to cry watching him suffer on the cross. It was then I started to cry. Lungs and heart felt like they were drowning in water. And then COVID set in. So the answer to all believers is believe God is real and what Jesus said was true. Spiritually connect with Jesus by shedding a tear and show some passion for what he has done for us... Jesus thank you for wageering our dept. I will try harder to be more like what your father wanted. In Jesus name I pray amen
I’m so glad you survived. God bless. 🙏🏻❤️
I am a catholic and I would like to make it clear that it's not the denomination that give us salvation or sanctification ..it's only the faith in Christ.... we may of any denomination but let's remember we belong to Christ......let pray that all may be saved and United in Christ .,.. ofcourse there have been some misunderstandings in the past let it not divided us ....praise the lord
Praise the Lord. I like to see protestants and Catholics loving each other as one body, and doing their best to bridge the differences in our doctrines.
As a protestant, I agree with you 💯 👍
@@saintejeannedarc9460sadly one slanders another. Everyone want to know truth and both force it onto each other. No one knows 100% for sure they chose right yet try to convince the other side. One may drag another into damnation. It's really sad
@@Jacob0170 Yes, you're right about most of that. I don't think we drag each other into damnation, but speaking what we firmly believe to be true. There is ultimate truth, that God knows for sure. We only know it partly. What is most helpful is if we have humility before God and man to admit that we are following God, as best we know to do.
If I give you a road map that is a lie and convince you that it is the truth you will still end up lost. Luke 1:47 “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” Mary needed a Saviour. Did you know immaculate conception is a recent doctrine. The real Mary said, God my Saviour and in verse 48 called herself a handmaiden. Does that sound like the Mother of God to you? Please, lets take a look at John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” So we see here the birth of Jesus was what? The Word of God being made flesh. So if you believe Jesus, then you believe the Word of God. This is a huge problem to the Holy Mother Church. The Pope has more authority than the Scripture and is the vicar of Christ. Christ himself said what? John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” So we see Mary has nothing to do with personal Salvation, nor the Pope, nor a church, but only Jesus. Jesus the Word in flesh says in John 7:38 “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Not Mary, nor a church, not sacraments, nor good works, but just Jesus Christ in Salvation. What is Salvation? Every year the children of Israel would do an atonement (please look up Shiloh) and God would speak to his children. They needed to atone for their sin. Our sin carries a penalty called death. Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” If you die without your sins being washed away you will die in your sins and end up in hell and will face the white throne of judgment. Revelation 20:14 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” So how do I have this spiritual birth called Born Again. Religion does not deal with the sin problem. Their is only one way. Jesus said, I am the way! Jesus shed his blood for you and died for you, but the best part is he lives and rose from the dead. So he has power over death and sin, and so how can I have eternal life instead of the punishment of hell? Our sin is a transgression of God's law- The Ten Commandments. We are all guilty and worthy of hell before a Holy God. The Holy Mother Church does not teach you are 100% saved from wrath and purgatory is blasphemy against Jesus and here is why? Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:” So who gives the gift? The church, no, God gives the gift. How do you accept the gift? Faith in forgiveness of sins. Romans 3:25 “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;” Otherwise Jesus had to personally die for your sins to satisfy God's wrath and if you accept him and turn from religion and sin he will save you. Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:” Christ paid for your curse of death and paid in full with his life. Now you will understand Romans chapter 5. The gift of Salvation is eternal and you can not lose it. 1John 5:13 “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” Notice the Word of God says that you can know if you have eternal life in Jesus Christ. look at the last verse in the chapter:And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. To sum it up: The true God unto eternal life is not through a church of any works. It is through the blood of the Lamb to wash away our sins unto eternal Salvation through the Spirit which brings sweet fellowship with the Father. I was saved in my truck and through the blood of the Lamb unto Salvation and not a church, but through the Word of God.
Thank you, Pastor Vlad, for clear comparison. I especially appreciate your kind and loving comments at the end. I was raised RC and practiced my faith in the RC church for most of my life. In my 50s, I went searching for a church that was true to the Acts church. I found what I was looking for outside of R. Catholicism. At the very heart of the Catholic church, there is the truth, but it's been layered with so much that is not scriptural. That happens in some Protestant churches as well. I truly believe that we need, as brothers and sisters in Christ, to celebrate and hold fast to what we have in common - that Jesus is our Lord.
Not sure your age, but pretty much everyone under 75 and who was catechized as a tennager or younger in the mid 60s has no idea of the full faith and any of the vast scriptural support for everything , but also Sacred Tradition (not Tradition of Men) and documented historically I. From the 1st Century. It was not our fault but they denied us the faith and weakened us intentionally as part of the Freemasonic plan , and weak Catholics leave , I almost left and then I discovered Traditional Catholicism and there was an explosive learning curve and years later still so much more to learn. You cannot deny the Eucharist if Miracles of the Catholic Church or the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima . Our Lady spoke much about the “popes” . Look what God JUST did. To statue of St Peter in “Pope Francis”. Former diocese in Argentina on his birthday and on the eve of the release of the SS Blessing declaration , Iducia Supplecants . Lightening struck the statue of St Peter and ONLY destroyed the keys to the kingdom. And his blessing hand .
The night of Pope Benedict 16 “resignation” - paving way for Francis - lightening struck TWICE on the Vatican building. Just saying
But as for reasons given by the pastor (whom ai really like) 1. The parameters of papal infallibility are extremely narrow , They can make all kinds of prudential errors, other errors and just plain bad sin.Problem is that they did not really finish V1 in defining those limits but it is not much . Some doctrine. That is Cburch traditon (Not deposit of Faith Sacred Tradition ).is possible to change but not infallible dogma .
As for married priests yes chastity is better but the problems in the priesthood are not what people think (even tho Church has gone thru periods in which clergy were chosen for wrong reasons (children of royalty, etc) and so other reasons for lack of chastity. But there are the best reasons for it. And to see the probs of past 60 years or more from infiltration etc see how priesthood was intentionally corrupted in vid called G@@dbye G@@d Men. Vid but book goes into even more.
Latin is used in part bc it is a dead language. (And a sacred language of cross) order to ensure that things stay sane all over world and down thru ages.

Thank you for sharing this. It really does clear up some questions I’ve had concerning Catholicism.
As Catholics, we're christians. You presented it as if we don't believe in God and His son Jesus Christ. We may have a different doctrine, but we're christians and we experience personal relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.
If your doctrine is different than what the original gospel was preached it’s false doctrine . You can’t have two doctrines as questions . Paul talk about this a lot to the church of Galatia and Corinthians. Paul said why are you leaving the true gospel of what you have been taught to a doctrine of works? He says foolish Galatians who has bewitched you.
Carry on then.
@@nataliewalters2759why are there so many different Protestant churches with different doctrines? They can’t all be right either.
Pastor, you are little bit confused. For us Catholics the head of the church is not the pope but our Lord Lord Jesus Christ. As of the Virgin Mary that you Protestants despise read the gospel “Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed are you among women and bless it the fruit of the womb Jesus “. Your ignorance of the Catholic Church is scary. God bless you.
Thank you for this video. I’ve always wondered the difference between these. Thank you again God bless.
Thank you Pastor Vlad for this teaching and for always being true to the word of God and teaching the truth in gentleness and love! You are thorough and clear in what you believe which is all in accordance with the Holy Scriptures. So many internet preachers (as a nickname only) are obscure in their beliefs and so busy gossiping and gasping at sin that they forget to preach the simple gospel. Thank you!
Very good and clear instruction. I was raised Catholic but very young knew the fallacy of the pope and many of the beliefs, even without reading scripture. I can't explain why i wasn't programmable other than God's truth placed in my mind. I am 71. You are my brother and i feel the union of all my brothers and sisters through the Holy Spirit, my Lord Jesus Christ and my Abba Father in heaven. Our sovereign Creator God. Hallelujah!
I’ve been at a Catholic service about 34yrs ago plus a Catholic funeral last year. Didn’t enjoy them. I’ve been a member of the Church of Scotland 🏴 for about 34yrs & our minister is brilliant.
Praise God!! My story is very similar, and I thank the Lord for coming after me after I threw God and Jesus away!
I had no good experience in all of my time in catholocism, re schools and mass…
I have been freed from the bonds of religion, and in place of that, I have a personal relationship with my Saviour and my Abba Father.
What an awesome thing that has happened to us…we were lost and now are found, were blind and now we see.
God is so good!!

I also have many family members that are still in Catholicism I was born and raised Catholic. I come from a very devout family, but as I was married and serving as a catechist, and Faith formation teacher (ninth and 10th graders) with my new wife, I felt a callin, and the Lord lead me to a nondenominational reformed church with Baptist undertones and contemporary worship a number of years ago I was saved in 2019 call NF been serving in ministry as a worship pastor For a few years, now I continue to try and speak truth to my family and encourage them to get in the word of God and to repent from known sin, and find the fulfillment that I have found leading my family walk in closely with the Lord as an adult, father, and husband. Praying for all who find a way to this video and for you, Vlad and your ministry may God keep and protect you all God bless.

no one is "born Catholic", that's a ridiculous lie they tell people
You were born again in water and the Spirit when you were baptised by a Catholic priest and regenerated, made a new creation by the grace of God, through the Holy Spirit. All of us constantly struggle with sin, needing to daily repent and return to the Lord. Paul tells us to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. You are not once saved always saved. Jesus gave us the sacraments so that we can receive His grace and mercy, enabling us to be saints, perfect as Our Heavenly Father is perfect.

My hard line that I can't get over for Catholicism is the Book of Galatians. Paul wrote them as a wake up call on problems of legalism and the curse of law. Catholicism seems constantly to be hung up on ritual without faith and legalism. I live in a very Catholic town, and the arrogance and legalism is astounding at time, where they look down on so many even my family who live by Gods word.
I can relate.
I can as well. I grew up in a town that was predominately catholic. The way they look down on you is like whoa... it's very sad because we're called to love each other. Not snub our noses at people. No wonder I stayed away from religion for so long.
There are so many things I don't understand about the catholic church. The Bible makes 100% sense to me. My relationship with Jesus does. The catholic church religion, however, does not.
Nobody cares about personal image more than Catholics.
Liar
There is only one truth, not multiple interpretations of truth.
I was raised Catholic but met Jesus as an adult, in my late twenties, in a Pentecostal church. I still thank the pastor for welcoming me, but after a while I felt the need to go back to the Eucharist, the confession and the Virgin Mary. Unlike other churches, the Catholic one does not judge the others, which is also why I am happy to be part of it.
It is your choice.the catholic church is a compromised church. It does not want to offend and hence the pope said allah is the God of the Bible when they are not the same.blasphemy

I love your videos . I was Christened in the Catholic Church I went through confirmation . I was an altar boy in my teen . I got married very young and it didn’t work out as I’d hoped and we got divorced. I before the split went to the local priest for advise and help but was turned away. Because of the divorce I was excommunicated . After a long time I found my faith in Jesus and now read my bible every day and am in the process of becoming a born again Christian in a Baptist evangelical church through baptism. You have expressed the fact which I’ve felt for a long time now that all those who believe in Jesus through the bible and the Holy Spirit are true Christian as are catholics. For a long time I did feel anger because I had that awful trauma of divorce at 18 years I’d be punished all my life and seeing the things that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church were doing and getting off Scot free. I as a sinner have to answer to god and god alone I ask for forgiveness every day . The knowledge that priests and bishops also have to answer to god as we all do. Father forgive me for I’m a sinner father I pray for all the innocents in all the world conflicts. The kingdom of heaven through the father the son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever amen . Your explanation is fantastic thank you . I have been lost but no more in my saviour Jesus Christ amen
You say you’re in the process of becoming a born again Christian and joining a church through baptism, but that’s not how it works. You’re mixing Roman Catholic dogma with true Christianity.
Baptism is important. It symbolizes the washing away of the old man, and the birth of the new, but baptism does not save you. Paul had baptized a few families, but he said he did not come to baptize, but to preach the Gospel. Romans 10:9 tells us what we need to do to be saved. Other Scriptures say repent and sin no more. If you’ve done those things, you’re truly born again and don’t need a pastor to baptize you for that, although like I said before, it’s a symbol of a washing away of the old man.

Catholics are Christians look at Jim Caviezal
Catholics are Christians. Some Christians reject some believes picking and choosing Christians believes does not mean somehow that Catholics do not believe in Jesus Christ.
This discussion would not be complete without seeing what was said by Ignatius from the New Testament church of Antioch. He was an overseer there and died a martyr’s death by becoming cat food in the worst way to lions in the Coliseum. All for Christ’s sake.
“I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible” (Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]).
“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ which has come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God. They have no concern for loνe, none for the widow, none for the orphan, none for the oppressed, none for the prisoner or the one released, none for the hungry or thirsty. They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which that Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes But it were better for them to treat it with respect, that they also might rise again. It is fitting, therefore, that ye should keep aloof from such persons, and not to speak of them either in private or in public, but to give heed to the prophets, and above all, to the Gospel, in which the passion [of Christ] has been revealed to us, and the resurrection has been fully proved. But avoid all divisions, as the beginning of evils.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6:2-7:? [A.D. 110]).
Also Justin Martyr A.D. 150 from his Apology.
And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.
Also Ireneaus A.D. 180
“Then, again, how can they say that the flesh, which is nourished with the body of the Lord and with His blood, goes to corruption, and does not partake of life? Let them, therefore, either alter their opinion, or cease from offering the things just mentioned. But our opinion is in accordance with the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn establishes our opinion. For we offer to Him His own, announcing consistently the fellowship and union of the flesh and Spirit. For as the bread, which is produced from the earth, when it receives the invocation of God, is no longer common bread, but the Eucharist, consisting of two realities, earthly and heavenly; so also our bodies, when they receive the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, having the hope of the resurrection to eternity.”
I was raised catholic aswell, i was saved and reborn 3 years ago. I'm so thankful and grateful to have my eyes open to the truth to the scriptures.

I am a Catholic Christian. I like watching your videos pastor.
I experienced Jesus in the Catholic church through the sacrament of Holy Communion.
I join my born again friends for prayer services and meetings and Im a staunch Catholic.
I believe we love and serve the same God. We need to keep our petty differences aside and be united as Christians.
As a former Catholic myself, who also used to observed the "Eucharist', let me state that Jesus is NOT in the catholic holy communion. These are ALL man made rituals that have nothing to do with salvation.
Jesus said in John 6:53Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread which came down from heaven-not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”...
The RCC takes that Jesus meant you have to literally eat His flesh and drink Hid blood and the RCC calls this Holy Communion and calls this "Experiencing Jesus". and the "Eucharist"........Yet a few verses down Jesus explains what He means.
John 6:61When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING. THE WORDS I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE.
Jesus was speaking symbolically. NOT Literally. His words give life. You experience Jesus by His word and His Spirit by faith. Taking communion does NOTHING for salvation. This is where the RCC deceives people.
Doing things thru the flesh (Holy communion, observing the Eucharist) does NOTHING.
Wise words, Bianca. I was a protestant, beginning my conversion to catholicism. Mass is powerful.
Nah. Catholics do not have the Holy Spirit and need to be saved out of the demonically run Catholic Church. There is nothing in common between those in the light and those in darkness. The whole agenda of a born again Christian when meeting a Catholic is to save them from the walk to hell that they're on.
Indeed Bianca 🙏🏻🤍
I am Roman Catholic by baptism and WE ARE CHRISTIANS as others don't know.
@@ElianaBentoCakes You're more of a Christian cult.
When I matured in my faith I had to leave Catholicism for many reasons and now I am Christian. Jesus Christ was baptised in Spirit & Water....I have repented and been on a journey with my pastor and close to being baptised...Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Catholicism is CHRISTIANITY.
You can only be baptised once.
@@user-ck9rb9qx3eBaptism in Scripture was always the choice of the believer. Infants cannot make a choice which makes infant baptism heretical. In Christianity, we have baby dedications, but that's different from baptism.
Jesus was the = Word = and spokesperson of The Father who sent Him to both be as well as teach us the Truth, Way and Life to the Father.
Jesus' message was Tough Love =If you love Me, keep My Commandments. Especially, the love of God and Neighbour. With Love being a verb or action word.
If you wish to be My disciple = thus defining who's Christian = take up your Cross daily, deny yourself and follow Me
The gate to Heaven is narrow and = few = find it = Matthew 7:14 & Luke 13:23-24
Jesus warned = Matthew 24:13-14 = He who endures to the = end = will be saved.
And declared that = More = is expected of Christians to whom much has been entrusted = Luke 12:48.
Jesus updated the = letter = of Moses' 10 Commandments to include the = spirit = by requiring not only the forbidding of murder, but also getting angry, not only adultery, but also looking with lust.
Jesus fasted 40 days/nights. He prayed daily. He also did a = world = of unrecorded works = John 21:25.
Jesus spoke of The Father's reward for Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving and Good Works done in secret = Matthew 6.
And Jesus' various Parables prefaced with = the Kingdom of Heaven = or = the Reign of God = require us to multiply our talents, become more fruitful " soil " and wise virgins carrying oil, or we will be excluded from Heaven
Even Paul, like a good Christian, boasted of the Cross = Galatians 6:14
Paul urged = WORK out your own salvation with fear and trembling. = Philippians 2:12
Paul warned that those Christians who do works of the flesh would not inherit Heaven = Galatian 5:19-21
Hebrews 12:6 warned that The Father chastens and disciplines = every = child before He will accept them into His Kingdom.
When Martin Loser, I mean Martin Luther broke away from Catholicism and started Protestantism, he promoted "Sola Scriptura" - or the authority of the Bible alone as well as the doctrine of " Faith alone." He also took the focus of Protestantism = away = from the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and onto " cherry-picked " verses such as Romans 10:8-10 and Ephesians 2:8-10. Luther thus ignored Jesus' and other NT Tough Love passages, some of them given above, and brought about doctrines that spell = Easy Christianity and cheap grace.
Sadly, Protestants and non-Catholics have embraced Luther's errors despite the fact that they proclaim " Sola Scriptura " and read the Bible often, even daily. By declaring that only Faith is necessary for Salvation, they have effectively cancelled the Cross = the very symbol of Christianity.
Catholics believe that Jesus came down from Heaven and died on the Cross to atone and redeem mankind from the " curse " caused by Adam and Eve's disobedience bringing about " Original Sin " on their descendants = you and me = and which disqualified us from Heavenly entry. " It is Finished " was Jesus cry of mission accomplished and that Heaven's gates were now opened and that Original Sins of all humans past, present and those unborn have been atoned for. And that Baptism is a = one-time = Grace event that washes away all our prior sins. However, we are responsible for all sins after, as exemplified by God's " execution " of Ananias and Sapphira from the first Christian = Faith = community for just dishonesty and lying. And this a short time = after = Jesus' Heavenly ascent = Acts 5.
Keep researching because the Catholic Church is real Christianity. Protestantism is false. Find out how the early church worshiped
I am a very happy beeing in a Catholic Church, and will continue there, I love God and his Church.
Thank you so much Pastor Vlad for this video. I've been Catholic all 24 years of my life (and I don't plan on leaving even after watching this video) but there are somethings I'm hearing for the first time. Growing up, all my years of catechism, the Catholic faith was not presented like this... Or maybe it's just me...
I agree with everything you said in this video though and I hope it gives clarity to anybody who's confused.
Thank God we'll be judged based on our actions and not based on the church we attended.
He inaccurately describes Catholicism. Wait, why don’t you know this?
I am a life-long Catholic. I love it and I can't imagine ever being anything else. It gives me so much joy and comfort.
I read my Holy Bible for 30 minutes every day and spend another 30 minutes in prayer . So fulfilling for my spirit.
Peace be with you. ❤
@@bb3ll07 And with you as well, my friend.
i was raised Catholic, but got lost.. i mainly struggle with some of the sacraments and the formality of it all, however I do believe Mary has an important role, plus there have been many miracles of Catholic Saints.. Padre Pio and other holy men.
But will that get you to heaven? Or are you just doing feel good stuff as you check off your boxes?
That’s not a relationship with Christ, and this is what Vlad was referring to.
Motions and feel goods mean nothing.
Even sin can make a person feel good.
These are important questions.
Praise God there are sincere Catholics
Thank you, Vlad, for talking about the fact that you suggest looking at everything critically. Two years ago, I was still a Catholic and by the grace of God, little by little reading the Bible, everything was revealed to me and my friends of faith. It is an extraordinary grace. God willed it. Anyone who doesn't see the differences yet is simply covered. They can read the bible but will not understand, they will look but not see. Lets pray to God to reveal the truth to them. My exit from the Catholic Church was very painful, I could not believe that what is written in the Bible contradicts the truths and tradition of the ages, that it has nothing to do with the real Christ! I pray that the Lord, full of grace, will open it to as many people as possible. You and your family be blessed in Jesus Christ name.
Wow! I'm happy to hear that. What Bible do Catholics read ? Because I can't believe it's the same as all the other 62 translations as I can see these differences, idolatry, and taking the focus away from God, but turning it to popes clearly.
The Catholic church made the Bible
@@NotAnotherTheory Catholics read the 73 book BIble they assembled in 382AD during the council of Rome! And if you attend daily Mass you'll hear the entire New Testament and a good chunk of the Old Testament read aloud through a 36 month cycle. What's neat is the Vatican has the source documents that the Bible is translated from, so they have that going for them. The idolatry comment and the pope comment are coming from a place of sheer ignorance - May I suggest you study the earliest Christians and what they believed before you start passing judgement.
Thank you Pastor for the clarity of the differences. I always stated the first two commandments given to us once I am explaining why I don't pray nor worshipping saints and to Mary. "Thou shall not worship any other God before me." ...... " You shall have no other gods before Me."
You shall not make idols." But still they, the Catholic insisted their own layman's justification. Anyway, How I wish they will be enlighten with your explanation. God bless us.
I find that one of the biggest differences between Catholics (I'm Catholic, myself, but may convert over to Christianity), at least where I live, is that most Christians actually read and memorize sections of the Bible whereas most Catholics don't and commonly interprete and recite it wrong. The Catholics in my area believe that what is said and tought in the respective churches that they go to are the words of truth and that it isn't necessary to read the Bible.
In fact, both of my parents, my sister and my brother in law are all Catholics and none of them own a Bible nor have actually read any part of one.
This baffles me.
I own a Bible and a book of the Apocrypha and have actually read through parts of each to include the entirety of Revelation and honestly, I'm starting to question Catholicism.
Catholics are Christian. If you were a Catholic, you would have known this.
I did not take this video as an attack on Catholicism. Much of what you pointed out was correct. First, I must point out that Catholics are Christian. Saying Catholic vs. Christian is misleading. Much of what you said that Catholics believe was mostly true but not entirely true thus, you have missed the mark. Some of what you said is what non- Catholics THINK Catholics believe but is not what Catholics actually believe ( according to the catechism). For an excellent source on what Catholics actually believe, I would recommend; Devine Mercy, explaining the Faith, with Fr. Chris Alar
Thank you, you explained very well. I was born Catholic but then God showed me that I was not saved throughout dreams and the word of God.
I am truly blessed that I am saved through grace by faith and not my own works , it's the gift of God.

Nice and valuable information about different between Catholic and Christians with word of God 🎉. May God bless you abundantly.. praying 🙏🏻 for you 🎉
Wow! Thank you so much for this informative video. I used to be a Catholic and I always questioned a lot of their practices and disagreed with many of them. I kept looking for more in my spiritual journey, but my mistake. I kept on going to different Catholic Churches but kept finding the same discrepancies! But then a friend of mine who was a Catholic and became a Christian brought me to the Christian faith and I finally found what I had been searching for for many years! I am so glad you pointed all of these things out about the Catholic Church and I think people should know these things. we need to follow the Bible, not the teachings of other peoples interpretation of what the Bible tells us! Anyway, God bless you! I am being water baptized next week and I am very excited! Take care!🙏❤️
I remember when I was in the Catholic Church and watching this video reminded me of how much of a burden it was to be there. I praise God for showing me the Truth! Hallelujah!!!
May I ask why it felt like a burden? What was your family’s faith lives like growing up? Unfortunately, many Catholics nowadays have become lukewarm and see the religious aspects more over relational ones, which I’m wondering if you experienced.
Weak Catholics become protestants and strong protestants become Catholic

Take up your cross and follow me said Jesus. Yes, following Jesus should be a burden, for His burden light and His yoke is easy.
I'm wondering why it felt like a burden to you too. Some Catholics that convert end up closer to God through all the church traditions and sacraments. I looked heavily into Catholicism and it would really weigh on me that there is still temporal punishment for forgiven sins. Even though one goes to confession, it doesn't seem to end there. You have to make restitution in this life and into the next life in purgatory.
Thanks so much Vlad. Ive been trying to explain to my mum who is Catholic the difference and so i sent her this video. Thank you Lord that there is a Godly timing on this
Tell us what is the aftermath of that later please

ahh yes, telling a Catholic what Catholicism is as a non-Catholic, surely you know better than her
You did a great job!🙏🏼
I agree with the teachings of the bible you presented. I am from the Oceania in the southeast asian region. I was born in the united church which was a congregation of the Methodist and London Missionary Society in our colonial era. Would this categorise it asa Protestant religion?
I was raised as a catholic. I was a catholic for 20 years. My family members are still Catholics. Being a catholic does not mean you are a Christian. I had never heard about true salvation. I always wanted to know the truth. I regularly attended mass, there was a point where I used to participate in mass every single day, and did everything that they told to do (praying the rosary every day, going for confessions, etc.). I felt like it was never enough. And then, came a day in my life when everything changed. In 2019, I was going through a really hard time, I could not handle what I was going through. There was no one around me, I could reach out for help. That day these very words came from my mouth " Lord I surrender my life to you". And that day I felt extreme peace and forgiveness of God, never felt this before. From that day on, there was such a hunger placed in me, to dig deeper into the Word, and to hear the voice of God. Gradually, God directed me by His word and Spirit to get out of catholicism and idolatry.
Who the Son sets free is free indeed!
Unfortunately, you fell into a lie. You have done the same thing that Jesus' disciples did in John ch 6 vrs 66. You abandoned Him, and you left Him as they left Him in John ch 6 vrs 66.
Praying you come back home to the one true church, the Catholic Church.

@@marybaer4660 This is not what the bible says.
@antonio So you were baptized in such a church because your parents were catholic "christians". The latter comes before the former.
You know that, right?
Last I checked catholicism was one of many (too many for my liking but it is what it is I guess) christian denominations. The one that has the biggest impact when spreading the word of God to the world is concerned despite all its flaws. And was it not the whole purpose of the primitive christian church?
Yes, if I got the message of Christ as it is written in the New Testament.
Vlad forgot that part in his video or, at the very least, he downplayed it drastically.
Catholicism is not to be opposed to Christianity as catholicism is one of the branch of christianity.
Now, one may have a beef against one denomination and prefer another but opposing one branch to the whole tree is misleading.
One can believe that he will be saved by adhering to one denomination instead of another. But at the end of the day, christianity is a very big family and it includes catholics, whether we like it or not.
The Catholic Church is considered the true church because it traces its origins directly to Jesus Christ, who appointed Peter as the first Pope, establishing a direct apostolic succession. This continuity is supported by Matthew 16:18-19, where Jesus tells Peter, "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven." This establishes the Church's authority and unbroken lineage from Christ to the present.
Thank you for the video, it was great. What are the thoughts on female pastors?
I have been a Catholic my entire life and while I do identify myself as Catholic first and foremost when it comes to religion, I do consider myself a Christian.
You saying we aren’t Christians is offensive. Catholicism and Protestantism are two separate branches of Christianity.
But i love my Catholic faith. I attend Mass on Sundays, carry rosaries with me and I always wear my crucifix necklace (it was blessed by a priest even) oh and i’m a member of the Knights of Columbus.
If Catholicism is separate from Christianity in your views, then I guess I’m just Catholic. 🤷🏻♂️
Couldn't agree more🙏
Vlad, your ministry is such a blessing. You should translate your messages in different languages to bless other native speaking countries and continue to educate others.
Yes, Spanish/Portuguese. Many people in South America are die-hard Catholics

Thanks for the lesson! Maybe you could make another video outlining your fears specifically. Maybe then you’ll recognize some questions about the scriptures and world history that your insight may bring some better light to… once you really break down your specific fears of what you believe the more expansive theology of Catholicism may invoke mistakenly, if not nefariously, if I understand what you mean.
Thank you, Mr. Sachuk, for your teachings. I hear only truth and love in your videos.

@@janetkelly5295 the gospels actually list the Catholic Church specifically as the church. It said the church will be built on the rock of St. Peter in Matthew 16:18 who’s name was changed to Petrus which mean rock.

Where in the gospels does it talk about the baptist church’s’ founder or a defining characteristic of the church? Also catholic means universal the universal church is talked about throughout the Bible. Also God didn’t want denominations. Also all the churches before 1054 were catholic so the early Christian’s were all catholic. Therefore every church talked about in the Bible is a Catholic Church

Why does the Trinity not appear in the Bible?peace;iiii,,,///
Because God isn't three gods. :) And he isn't like an egg (which at any rate has 4 parts, not 3), and he isn't like the states of matter (which at any rate are 4, not 3). If Jesus is "eternally begotten," then he's totally dependent on God in the same way the universe is, in which case there's no point in labeling "begotten-ness" as if it's anything special. What does make sense is that Jesus is preexistent but not eternal, he had a beginning, begotten rather than created. The Son of God is his own class of being, the finite divinity born from the infinite divinity. God is greater, he bestows authority on Jesus, and Jesus delivers everything up to God. The Holy Spirit is whose spirit? God's (the Father's), just in a special operation through the work of the cross -- otherwise God's presence would vaporize our sin and us along with it. So Jesus wasn't just a man (Unitarian), and he isn't a second infinite being (Binitarian?); only God (the Father) is the infinite first cause. Jesus not eternal/infinite but is preexistent, co-creator, which is what makes it possible for his sacrifice to pay for all sin through all time. Not trinitarian, not binitarian, not unitarian, not oneness or two-ness or three-ness... Biblical monotheism? Two Powers -ism? Jesus is the embodied one, God is the infinite one. @@lufhopespeacefully2037

Yes, both great sources for learning the truth of Catholicism.
Yes, yes and YES. Two great priests. Fr. Chris Alar reminds me of a college professor. Both are wonderful at explaining.
Fr. Chad Ripperger is a great one as well.
I was raised in the amish religion, Catholicism is VERY similar to I was taught in the amish. I recently left, and am a follower of Jesus. Praise Jesus!!
Vlad, I am watching this on October 31st, the day that Martin Luther nailed the 95 Thesis on the door of the Wittenberg Chapel in 1517. My grandfather was a Missouri Synod Lutheran. I am a Charismatic, Non-Denominational Christian.
This is a complex and complicated subject, and you did a great job in your presentation, for the time you have to do this. You correctly stated that some Catholics are Born Again, though Roman Catholicism is incorrect in their doctrines.
The very founder of the "Reformation", Martin Luther, was the "regrettable" one, as he surveyed the damage that his rebellion against authority had caused. His writings show that he lamented his deed when he penned the following remarks...
"This one will not hear of Baptism, and that one denies the sacrament, another puts a world between this and the last day: some teach that Christ is not God, some say this, some say that: there are as many sects and creeds as there are heads. No yokel is so rude but when he has dreams and fancies, he thinks himself inspired by the Holy Ghost and must be a prophet."
Protestantism has always been an angry movement marked by judgment, elitism, discord, discrimination, and disunity. Indeed, are these not the fruits of sinful pride and bitter hatred? So one might reasonably ask. May anyone be truly Protestant without staunchly being in a state of constant protest and disagreement? Can anyone be Protestant without being against some thing, or some tradition or some doctrine or someone at every moment? Such opposition seems essential to Protestantism. For if it were to cease, it would beg one question... "Why are we not all Catholic?"
Surely all people of Christian faith would agree that what Christ founds does not fragment. What Christ begins does not fail. What Christ unites is not dis-unified. Rather, what Christ founds and leads is one, holy and apostolic.
That Protestantism continues to fragment is the ultimate proof of its fallacy and in-authenticity. But, unlike most movements, Protestantism takes such great pride in its ongoing failures, seeing each break with Christian unity, each moment of discord, each battle of words and belief as signs of holding the true faith.
Yet Protestantism has failed, in this respect, to offer any evidence of its historical or mystical connection to the Body of Christ. Instead, each denomination repeats the same, sad pattern of reform and brief unity followed by discord and then further fragmentation under the guise of new reform.
Historically, Protestantism is a movement founded in hatred, blood and destruction. Many faithful, including priests, monks, nuns and bishops, were murdered at the hands of the first Protestant "reformers." Churches were looted and burned. Altars were desecrated. People were robbed, raped and murdered and all in the name of God. Does that remind you of anything going on in the Middle-east these days?
Is that the sort of heritage Protestants celebrate when they speak of their "glorious reformation?" Is that what Protestants aspire to when they celebrate Reformation Day?🤦♂🤦♂
As a devout Catholic, I want to emphasize that we hold a deep respect for other denominations and even other religions. We believe that God may have had a purpose in allowing the split of the church in those days, a purpose that only God can truly comprehend as part of His greater plan for His Body, with Christ as the head. Nevertheless, I remain firmly rooted in the traditions of the original Christianity, where Mary is revered as the mother figure, and where the full authority to teach about Christianity resides. It is in this tradition that we find Peter as the rock upon which the Lord Jesus entrusted His church (Matthew 16:18). The apostolic line of succession never cease to Peter, the next is Pope Linus, Pope Cletus and all the way to our present generation Pope Francis (Normal guys that we know could possibly can make mistakes and error, guess the Lord already aware of that and has prepared remedies, Hahah!)
BTW, In Greek, the term "Catholic" can be expressed as "Καθολική" (Katholikí), derived from the words "Κατά" (Kata) and "Όλος" (Holos). "Κατά" signifies "according to" or "concerning," while "Όλος" means "whole" or "universal." Therefore, "Καθολική" essentially conveys the idea of "concerning the whole" or "universal."
The teachings of Christ are indeed universal, reflecting God's boundless love, and they reach even those we might least expect, such as Bartolo Longo, a former satanic priest who found his way to Catholicism through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Mother. This serves as a testament to the far-reaching impact of Christ's message. God be glorified in Christ Jesus!
Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I agree, it is not all about the people, but it is about JESUS CHRIST who founded the Catholic Church.
VERY well said!
I am Catholic, i love that you stand up for God and the truth, i love your shows, i do believe that we all should stand for the truth, for God, regardless of our religious factions. We can only get wisdom through the holy spirit that guides us as we read the bible
God bless you. I'm curious why you aren't upset at this video, since you're Catholic. I see many Catholics getting very defensive at these types of videos.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 i have grown to believe that God made us all different , race, gender, religion, tribes, language, to compliment each other, as we are unique, not for these differences to divide us, Jesus is the way to God, it does not matter through which religion/ way you get to experience the love of God, do you know Him?, do you believe in Him?,..i am Catholic, i do listen to summons from different religious leaders of different religions, i believe that the Holy spirit guides us to know that this sermon is of God, and this is not..we do not pray through religion but through Jesus..regardless of religion we pray to the Almighty God,
this video was talking about the differences between Catholicism and Christianity, and the differences were clearly stated, there are bound to be differences the main goal is to know God, love Him, believe in Him pray to Him
@@ngaramagloria4605 I'm not that universalist, as to believe that all religions lead straight to God. Jesus is clearly our one mediator to reconcile us to God. God seems to be leading people from all sorts of religions to him, sometimes through ministry and witnessing, and sometimes by supernatural intervention w/ dreams and visions, or just letting them know in a moment that Jesus is Lord. I've heard atheists give this testimony too, that suddenly they just knew, because God told them. So I'm very echumenical when it comes to traditions of Christianity saving us, but not other religions. I did have a foray into universalism for a short time, but I believe God pulled me back from it. It's a draw these days, but it's "that way that seems right to a man, but its end is destruction".
@@saintejeannedarc9460i am a Catholic christian and even i dont believe all religions lead to god, only those people baptised can
@@shine2678 Christians don't tend to believe that all religions lead to God. That's why we're Christian.
*Happy Sabbath!!!*
i pray the LORD's day is a blessing in church, tomorrow morning and the new years brings you closer to Christ!
Well done. All the reasonable arguments brought forth in a friendly but clear way.
