McArthur pointed out the main problem with praying to Mary: unbelief in the mercy and compassion of God. A huge offence to our Heavenly Father and the Prince of Peace. Thank you for clearing up.
When I pray to Mary I’m simply asking her powerful intercession for me! Do you not ask your family and friend’s to pray for you? Mr Sproul is in HELL because of his arrogance,his spiritual arrogance and pride. With grace I could have torn to pieces what Mr Sproul said. The only way he could be right is if he’s infallible AND HE WASN’T! There’s ONLY ONE person on this planet who’s infallible and that’s his holiness Pope Francis. Look up what it means by papal infallibility so you know in the future. Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Then Don’t call protestant’s Christian. Then Following Padre Pio. Also nearly forgot look up Eucharist miracle of Lanciano in 700AD. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps I imitate Jesus who praises his beautiful and Immaculate mum in Heaven as he did on earth two thousand year’s ago and when he founded the holy Catholic Church which is his mystical body on earth.
False. Mary does not have any special authority over Jesus Christ. Matthew12:47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You." 48But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” 49Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers. 50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” Jesus, the Son of God, only do the will of God, the Father. John6:38 "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me."
@@fly.into.theblue MacArthur doesn’t fully understand what Catholics believe. have you ever asked an brother or sister in Christ to pray for you? That’s essentially want asking Mary to pray for you means. Cannot God do what He pleases? God could save all the elect in a second if He wants but He still commands the preaching of the Gospel. We could all just do Christianity on our own but God has made it so we have a community of believers to fellowship with and communion with. If our brothers and sisters are more alive than us in heaven, and are with God forever they are still our brothers and sisters now, and it would be the same as asking anyone to pray for us. The book Revelation shows evidence that the martyred saints in heaven know what’s going on down here on Earth, and the elders hold bowls of incense which are the prayers of the saints. James 5:17 tells us the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective, and we would both agree that the brethren in heaven are righteous and without sin in Gods presence.
It’s because prayer gets mixed with worship when it was not intended as worship. And also reformers put the books on prayers to the saints on a 2nd tier that eventually got removed from Protestant bibles
My God is not a dead woman and a collection of dead saints. The captain of my salvation conquered death when He died on the cross and rose again from death. His name is Jesus. We pray to Jesus, not to a dead woman who is dead and in the grave.
The Last Super was the first Mass and began on the night of that particular laid down Jewish Passover, as the old evolved from old to new, Jesus became our sacrificial lamb raised to God our Father. The Jews had 12 tribes.The First Apostles were .. 12 in number .Peter was the first Pope. Mary,pure concieved WITHOUT sin had to be so, in order to bear Christ her Saviour and yours and mine. This was her destiny; the woman who taught Jesus the Jewish faith with St Joseph. When asked to pray for someone,you bring your petitions to Jesus. So does The Blessed Mother. We are not pure like Mary was designed by God to carry the Word who becane flesh...Jesus.She was the first Tabernacle carrying Jesus.She is the woman about thehouse of The Trinity .You petition Christ.She petitions Christ.Prayer is prayer.We have faith in her role laid down by God..Laid diwn by God as God created The Blessed Mother.It was His idea ! She takes requests of prayer to The Trinity else zillions upon zillions of miracles from St Francis to Padre Pio would not have taken place.Jesus says we are His brothers and sisters ,so therefore Mary IS our mother too by default .Jesus gave us his mother at the foot of The Cross. We bring our petitions to her just as King Solomen took petitions only from his mother,so too does Christ. This is a Royal Jewish tradition. God protects the universal Church with billions of members with unbroken lines to that last Passover and First Mass which was instituted by Jesus himself under the hand of God who is all wisdom. Every RC Priest prostrates before Jesus alive in the Tabernacle i e The Word Of God made flesh ..in the form of Bread. Jesus is alive in every single Tabernacle in every single R.C. Church. He said He would be with us until the end of time. He most certainly is in many manifestations but in this particular form too.This form of Christ is there to be discovered and revealed to those who will seek Jesus here,even to visit. If not true or not serving God's will( not denying its shortcomings as an institutions but nit for ne to judge ) then why has God allowed it to thrive and grow from mission fields to the poor Fransciscans ?God allowed The Blessed Mother of 1531 Mexico (Guadalupe) to bring about 6 Million Aztecs (who sacrificed children to their false gods)to convert to this true RC Church. Who knows what is next? God knows. Come Holy Spirit! Our Blessed Mother,The Helper Of All Christians,pray for us as one uniquely close to The Holy Trinity. In your humble words Mother Mary : "The Almighty has worked wonders for me.Holy is His name". Amen. Ave Maria. Deo Gratias.
The Catholic Church does not teach that the mass is Christ being sacrificed again but rather that we partake in the one sacrifice for all time, and also the Catholic Church does not teach that you pray to Mary or saints because God is to occupied. They misrepresented Catholic Church teaching. Im a reformed Protestant who recently decided to convert to Catholicism and it’s disappointing to see the misrepresentation
@@5solamic_holda Nope! I came to see the Catholic Church is the true church and has biblical and historic support. I believe Jesus when He said the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. From your perspective which church is right? Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational and on? The Protestant reformation sounds more like a sad division story than a success story.
@@matthewodonnell6495 well, there are certain elements that make a church a legitimate church. First there has to be the church, a gathered group of believers of the gospel, unto the power for which them to be saved. And they must adhere to what scripture says about what worship is. Two offices should be in the church elder and deacon. The elders are to administer the word and prayer , the deacons to serve. There is no anglican hier archy like found in the catholic church and other denominations. Rather two offices said above. Of course a church must govern its theology on scripture and scripture alone as its first and final authority. The Catholics believe the church has equal authority to scripture. Thats not true. And also one of the reasons they recognize the apocrypha. Simply put, the catholic church is not valid. They pray to other people like mary and the saints who have no authority to interevene on our behalf, you know it i know it the bibles clear Christ is the high priest and our mediator. They grossly commit idolatary and should repent and go back to being the Catholic church originally established like you said. They went off the rails when they added "Roman Catholic" to their secture as a counter reformation. If they would repent , they would be the catholic church again. But they are not. They are apostate and preach a different gospel. And by Gods grace you were saved, but your in a dangerous place in that communion. I dont even know you but i hope the spirit convicts you to start asking your priests questions and compare it to scripture and run out of there
06:30-07:00 "Once Saved Always Saved" is another error of Martin Luther and John Calvin is not only contradicted by Scripture, but the very Words of Jesus Christ our Blessed Lord. St. Paul in Roman's was dealing with an early heresy of the Church between Christian Jews, and newly converted gentile Christians. It is a very specific focus, not just an generic template. This is an error from Martin Luther who added "alone" to Roman's 3:28 because it's what made "legal" sense to him, but he admits he added it. No Bible translation prior to his since the 4th Century had "faith alone," and you would be hard pressed to find one that does today. No one uses Martin Luther's Bible.
Have you read Martin Luther himself? He added "alone" because otherwise it would make absolutely zero sense in the common german language if he were to translate it directly from the Latin, exactly how it says. Translating to different languages changes some phrases so that the point gets across. Also, Paul constantly says faith apart from works, that literally means a lone, it is APART from works, there is nothing else to add, so it made sense to add "alone" for the german people, otherwise that particular phrase would make zero sense to the common german folk.
@@florida8953 no your reference point is not historically accurate. Luther wrote (which I have read) a 23 page letter on how hr explains to a colleague that he could not under stand the greek context of "full of grace" and it did not make sense from a german language (of which there were dozens of dialects at the time) and the german folk would not speak like that or understand what it means. Thus he says, "dr. Martin luther will habe it so." Here we have a critical error in translating the greek which Martin Luther was not an expert in, also he was rushing to make printing timelines. He takes the angelic salute of "full of grace" which has a direct implication on the way God has Mary's name and her condition. Martib Luther errors and because he is his own authority messed up. This is all public record btw. Additionally Luther's own words (for me) condemned him forever because one of the cardinal points he makes concerning the Book of Revelation is "i can in no way detect the Holy Spirit in it." Thats it...game over, that is false teaching and anti christ, and holy scripture states to have nothing to do with these people. If u accept Martin Luther after reading his own words, then u come to to point of follow a man versus God. And you cant say well Catholic Church bad thus ML good...no, you must throw out ML and find a new reference.
@@florida8953 and you incorrect with you interpretation of St. Paul which puts him in conflict with Jesus Christ and a number of apostles. St. Paul was talking about a specific context the Pharisees who had added their man made traditions to the Moseic law that Jesus Christ our Lord restored to a new covenant centered on the Eucharist. You have a hotted headed prideful german lawyer redefining scripture to the subject he know; man made law. ML had no authority and was also a neo-manician heretic aka no free will and total depravity, which Holy Scripture does not teach.
@@florida8953 you also just ended the debate...you admit freely that he added "alone" to the bible...even the modern bible translations dont have "alone" in Roman 3:28. You are saved by: Christ, grace, faith, works/'obedience, love (the greatest), divine mercy, baptism, and confession of the belief of Jesus Christ. This is what the Catholic Church has always taught.
Poor you, you don’t have the full truth about Jesus; only a truncated, diluted and a distorted one as a Protestant. I thank God endlessly that I belong to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
@@triciaperry2234I thought of converting but I cant get my head round the Catholic faith .any time some like sproul says something they don't like they comment by 000000s mostly hateful n bitter .I just don't understand there religion then they point to books n books you can't read .just a simple explanation of salvation n stay saved is one needs
Poor RC seems to have stopped reading Catholic teaching at "unbloody" sacrifice. Sounds like he didn't realize "unbloody" specifically means Christ does not die again, as if the Cross was insufficient. If he'd been a little more thorough in his "studies of Roman Catholic theology", maybe he could have avoided refuting himself in the same sentence. It's easy to defeat strawman arguments. There's quite a bit of depth to the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass, and there are a lot of Protestant obstacles to overcome just to be able to understand the teaching itself, let alone come to a place where one could weigh it honestly.
It starts here. I guess you are wrong. Third, Jesus sets out his purpose and plan (vv. 18-19). There is a play here on the name ‘Peter’, which means ‘a stone’; Jesus says that there is a rock on which Jesus is going to build his church. These words have been interpreted and misinterpreted down through the years. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, has always insisted that Peter was the rock on which the church was to be built, although within a very short time Satan was to use Peter’s voice to rebuke Jesus (16:23). It is more natural to understand Jesus’ purpose as being to build his church, not on the disciple, but on his confession: the basis of the church is that Jesus is confessed as Lord. It is through the church that Christ intends to make his word and will known; when she speaks in Christ’s name, the church binds and looses, and opens the gates of heaven to those who believe and closes them on those who do not. Campbell, I. D. (2008). Opening up Matthew (p. 99). Leominster: Day One Publications.
Catholics pray to dead Mary and hundreds of dead saints but when you say they pray to dead they will outright deny it and say we are only talking to them to help, isn't talking, praying! The Bible says "what does the dead got to do with the living" also Jesus said " no one goes to the father except (not dead Mary or dead Saints) through Me" no hatred for Catholics but praying for them to know the truth. Read the the Bible, please and come out of this cult called Roman Catholicism. With love.
Well the Bible says Moses died and God buried him (Deuteronomy 34:5-7), yet the same dead Moses appeared to Jesus during Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3). Care to explain?
A common misunderstanding among Protestants is that Catholics pray to Mary and the Saints. But, in the Hail Mary it clearly states “pray FOR us sinners”…btw I’m not Catholic, just a mere Christian as C. S. Lewis wrote about.
Mary was a chosen vessel to give birth to Jesus Christ, Jesus taught to pray to the Father, not Mary.... Bible says there is only 1 mediator "Jesus" Mary is dead and gone, no mention of her after the Gospels.... Jesus said "I Am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me" sounds pretty clear.... the catholic church is a combination of many false beliefs to appeal to a large part of the world.... it may very well be the religion that stands out during the tribulation and the one world church.
Well Catholics don't understand that when they close their eyes and call on Mary that she mighty pray for us sinners .... they are talking therefore praying to Mary.... The person you adresse in your prayer is your helper and your god. They changed the definition of what praying and worship means but their occult practices fit in the biblical definition of what praying to other god's o other Persons is. They are guilty of that. sadly
It's about faith in Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with Luther or anybody else. Why don't you start there? Who is your faith in? if it's not in Christ ALONE , you're in trouble. Nobody cares about luther .
Forgot only the reformed Calvinist church invented 1500 years after Christ is the right one. “Upon this rock I will build my church”… I guess Jesus meant in 1500 years the church would finally form. Lol. Ridiculous. Heretical Protestant church comes around over a thousand years after the apostles and has the nerve to say everyone else before them is wrong.
The teaching you bring up is literally everything taught in Jesus day. The Roman catholic church took Jesus's play on words and used it to proclaim themselves as the true religion. They killed, beat and raped people that got in the way of their new world order. Read the Bible. Not traditions the catholics yeah you.
"Ordinary catholic families cannot survive.They must be extraordinary catholic families. They must be what I do not hesitate to call 'heroic' catholic families.Ordinary catholic families are no match for the devil as he uses media of communication to secularize and desacralize modern society.No less than ordinary individual catholics can survive,so ordinary catholic families cannot survive.They have no choice. They must either be holy- which means sanctified - or they will disappeared". Fr John Hardon S.J Many Catholics easily stray away from the faith that they received. What are the reasons for their falling into complacency, becoming indifferent and even hostile towards Christ and the Christian Faith? The fault with many Catholics is that they think baptism is a graduation from having acquired knowledge and understanding of their faith. After completing their catechism classes or RCIA journey, they no longer seek out opportunities to continue growing their faith, both doctrinally and spiritually. Their only occasion to grow in faith is the one-hour Mass that they attend every Sunday. This is hardly enough to sustain the life of a Catholic. Those who do not grow in their faith are already losing their faith. There is no neutrality. How, then, can we grow in our faith? Firstly, we need to deepen our intimacy with God through Christ. In Christ, we come to know and love the Father. Secondly, we must be rooted in the Word of God. We cannot grow in our faith without deepening our love and appreciation for the Word of God through bible study and most of all, a prayerful reading and sharing of the Word of God. Thirdly, we must seek the support of the Christian community. A Catholic without the support of his fellow Catholics will eventually fall out from the faith, especially when he undergoes the trials and challenges of life, the influence of secularism, and the materialistic, individualistic and atheistic views of the world. Fourthly, to grow our faith, we need to evangelise and be a witness to Christ. We evangelise ourselves by evangelising others. By sharing our faith with others, we strengthen our own faith. By teaching our faith to others, we grow in understanding and clarity in what we believe in. Finally, growing in faith is to grow in our Christian life. This is the most effective form of witnessing. It means that those of us who are baptised must live a life of holiness and purity, free from sin and a bad conscience. A life of holiness and charity are the fruits of a strong spiritual life and a life of hope founded in the promises of God. If the Catholic Church is accused of being satanic, that is no more than its Founder, Jesus Christ, was accused of. When our Lord was on earth, he had the same problem. He was driving demons out, and some said he was doing this by the power of the devil. How did Jesus respond? He said, “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him” (Mk 3:23-26). The Catholic Church drives out the devil, too. This practice is called exorcism. No one can deny that the Catholic Church has been doing exorcisms on people and driving out Satan for nearly two millennia. Therefore, we must reason like Jesus: If the Catholic Church were from the devil, it could not drive the devil out. We shouldn’t be surprised when such charges are made against the Catholic Church. Jesus told us, “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household” (Mt 10:24-25). Weak Catholics become protestants Strong Protestants become Catholics,
@@jhausa8274 You’re right. I don’t understand protestantism. I don’t understand how 30 thousand denominations can coexist and still claim that each had the definite truth and right interpretation of scripture. That is maddening; and these differences concern not only small matters but big things like salvation, justification, baptism, to name a few. As a former protestant I can tell you that the landscape of the church world looks very different when you step back from your own denominational lens and realize that two churches teaching completely different theologies can’t possibly both be right; let alone thousands of churches.
Here you go...i guess reading the Bible helps. Third, Jesus sets out his purpose and plan (vv. 18-19).

We all will meet the one true and only God the Holy Creator one day ( Hebrews 9;27) and He's being merciful by giving us all time to get right with Him before judgement day, because when judgement day comes you get no second chances. God came as Jesus in the flesh to go and pay our sin debt on the cross, we deserve hell we deserve to take our punishment but in His great love and mercy He took our punishment and sins to the cross. He died and paid for our sin debt in full ( John 19:30) then God the Father rose Jesus on the third day with glory and power and triumph and He conquered hell, sin, death, satan, the world. Jesus broke down the wall that separated us from Him so we can come to Him and be saved and have a relationship with Him. believe and repent of your sins and God will forgive and cleanse you and make you born again by His Holy Spirit ( John 3). today is the day of salvation, you don't know what day or hour or minute or even the second you'll die. Heaven is eternal and hell is eternal as well. Jesus is the only way to Heaven He's the only way we can be saved from sin and from hell ( John 14, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-14). don't choose sin over the Holy loving God. come to Jesus! believe and repent ( 1 Cor 6:9-10, Romans 3:23, John 3:15-18, Rom 10:9-14, NKJV).
I had a altercation at bible study over this. People think Catholic communion is ok. I said they are crucifiing Christ at their communion, thats wrong. The others said it doesnt count because they are doing it out of ignorance. How are can evangelical Christians think that the Catholic church is ok. Some people really need to read the bible. Study the Doctrines of Grace that came out of the Westminster Confession. These theologians didnt spend 5 years studying and Martyrs didnt died for their beliefs for people now to abandon the truth. Luther left the Catholic church for the truth, and now in 21st century after all these faithful people laid down the lives, people of today are watering the Gospel Message down. Shame on you. Christ died for you.
As a devout protestant who converted and is now a devout Catholic, I totally understand where you are coming from. However, please look this issue up and see what the Catholic Church actually teaches about the Mass. What they said is absolutely not true. Catholicism does not teach that they are crucifying Christ again or "re-sacrificing Christ." The Church teaches that they are "re-presenting" Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. The difference here is that while they are lying and telling you that Catholics think they are killing and sacrificing Jesus again, the truth is that we are simply asking God to look upon the very same sacrifice that Jesus made again once and for all for all Christians. In other words, we are not saying "we have killed Jesus again so that you will forgive us." That would certainly be an evil thing to do. Rather, when Jesus becomes present in Eucharist through the bread and wine, we are asking God to see the sacrifice that Jesus already made 2000 years ago and to forgive us again on the basis of that sacrifice. But don't believe me. Look it up for yourself. See how Catholic theologians explain it. Sproul and McArthur are either lying or hopefully just very very ignorant about what Catholics believe.
To all current people who follow these people, i used to love everything they said and took it as food. But once i read the rarly church fathers and learn what the early church taught and believed its not what these mean believe. I promise, learn about the early followers of christ. I have become Catholic. I was just like you and said i would never be Catholic. Please i ask you to pray to Jeaus and let the holy Spirit guide you to truth. I am not trying to convert yall. I will also not respond to a comment. Please look at what the early church believed. They were Catholics
@melodic777 look I get your perspective! I used to insult the Catholic religion, but I went to a mass for the first time 4 months ago and I fell in love! I saw all the scriptures in the bible pop out. I saw Christ high and lifted up! I saw the scripture " and all will be taught by God"! I saw the prophecy Micah says about all going to the house of the Lord! I saw this holy fear in the Catholic church! I also saw the scripture when Jesus says his people will be known by there love for one another! The people in the Catholic church really loved the the apostles as if they were still alive, because in there hearts they are still alive. "Those who believe pass from death to life"! I don't have the answer to ever question your about to ask me, if you actually read this far! All I can say! I was lied to about the Catholic church and how could I have been so blind to God's universal church!
Why do you believe all the very early Christians did everything right and had all the right beliefs? They were all new to Christianity. They couldn’t have understood everything completely right.
@MommyEtc For me personally, it makes more sense to trust the evidence closer to the source. The apostles are the closest to the source we have, and the apostles had disciples who also write stuff down. They are also just as close! So my trust is in the apostles and their disciples, I trust they got Jesus right and what Jesus meant in his teachings!
@MommyEtc I understand we may disagree on things. I'm just saying what I've learned! It's obvious to me now. It was not obvious to me a year ago. I told everyone I would never be a Catholic. But after going to my first mass about 3 months ago. The bible felt so real. I was told the Catholic church practices things that are not in the bible. But after going to my first mass, everything in the bible stood out! My mind was filled with prophecies Isaiah wrote about, I saw his prophecies being fulfilled. I my heart was hardened for years! But turns out, that Catholic church has the fullness of God. In my self righteousness I could not see it. But I see it now! God bless you
Rc Sproul is a false teacher. He taught a false gospel.The gospel means “good news”. The gospel is the proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. The entire Bible (Old testament and New Testament) foreshadows and proclaims who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only (John 5:39, Luke 24:44). Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16), fully God and fully man (John 1:1 & 1:14) and second person in the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17). The gospel is God’s testimony concerning Jesus as revealed in the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Spirit which proclaims how Jesus the Christ (John 1:41, Matthew 16:16) was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23) and born under the law to redeem His elect who were under the law and save His elect from their sins (Matthew 1:21, Galatians 4:4). God’s elect /sheep are the people past, present and future from every tribe, tongue and nation God actively chose to redeem/ justify/save based on Christ. God chose in Christ before the foundation of the world was laid according to the good pleasure of His will for His glory (Revelations 5:9, Ephesians 1:4-5). God actively created and chose a people from every tribe, tongue and nation before they were born for salvation whom God has always loved because of Christ and only Christ (Romans 8). God’s elect are vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory to make known the riches of His glory (Romans 9). God’s elect/sheep are God’s chosen vessels of mercy that are Jews and Gentiles because of Christ. (John 10, Romans 9:23-26, Hosea 2:23) God is Holy (Isaiah 6:3). God’s law is holy and good (Romans 7:12). The law of God demands perfection in word, thought, and deed at all times (James 2:10). The law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The law condemned all mankind and brought knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20). All people are under sin and none are righteous (Romans 3:9-18). Sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin and death spread to all mankind because all sinned. (Romans 5:12-13). Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb without blemish (1 Peter 1:19) for His elect by God’s sovereign grace (1 Corinthians 5:7). Just as the Israelites were released from Egypt after the death of the firstborn (Exodus 11-13) - Jesus Christ the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15) justified all His elect at the cross from the wrath of God(Romans 5:9-11). Jesus willingly went to the cross (Philippians 2:8) and offered one sacrifice for all time for His elect He sanctified (Hebrews 10:11-14) as their representative and High priest. Jesus was crucified for the elect’s sin and raised for their justification (Romans 4:25). It pleased God the Father to crush His only begotten Son( Isaiah 53:10) and God the Father accepted Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on behalf of His sheep( Acts 2:23) . Jesus paid His elect’s sin debt and there is now no condemnation for those who are married to Christ (Romans 7-8). By Christ’s knowledge He justified all His elect (Isaiah 53:11) and finished His mission (John 19:30). All of God’s sheep will believe God’s testimony concerning Christ because Jesus justified them by His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Not one sheep Jesus died for will perish. Jesus is the good shepherd. Faith(believing God’s testimony concerning Jesus) is the fruit of what Jesus accomplished for His sheep. God’s sheep are righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ provided at the cross as prophesied in Psalm 32 and fulfilled in John 19. All Jesus died for are regenerated at God’s appointed time to believe God’s testimony concerning Christ on who Christ is and what He did at the cross( Acts 13:48).
This man shall be judged by his words.5-7)Faith Alone. This phrase was added to Martin Luther's Bible because he said, "Dr. Martin Luthor will have it so." The only place in Scripture that says faith "only/alone" is: "Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?" [James 2:24]. If we only go by chapter/verse, then the second major pillar of the Protestant Protest falls. You cannot link this back to Romans because the two scriptures will contradict each other. The Apostles of Christ were breathed on by our Blessed Lord and had infallible Judgement by the Holy Ghost. We do not. 6) Sacred Tradition: A position the Catholic Church has taught consistently since 33AD and is consistent with the Old Covenant/Testament, upheld by Sacred Scripture. Scripture alone requires you to let the words stand on their own. *St. Paul: "Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle." [2 Thessalonians 2:14] *St. Paul: "And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." [2 Thessalonians 3:6] *St. Pau: "Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you." [1 Corinthians 11:2] *St. Paul: "Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus." [2 Timothy 1:13] 7) The Pillar and Ground of Truth. What is the "Pillar and Ground of Truth?" Is it the Bible? Is it Scripture? Is it the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible even say? If you have never seen this verse, it may come as a surprise, for Holy Scripture of our Blessed Lord from St. Paul, declares unto Bishop Timothy, "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." [1 Timothy 3:15] *Do not attempt to interpret; let the words of St. Paul, an instrument of the Holy Spirit, Stand on their own.
Also Ironic you quote 1 Timothy 3:15, when later in 2 Timothy 3:15-16 it states: "and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. " Further more, the Catholic Church today is not what Christ taught, nor does it reflect the Gospel Properly.
@@dylanschweitzer18 actually its the first church to properly teach what our blessed Lord Jesus Christ taught. And one of those is the Eucharist, which is the new covenant...i presume u are a John 6:66 christian. Its a double irony that u follow with 2nd Timothy and the Martin Luther heresies, when u refer to scripture in that verse...there was no bible cannon...and St. Paul is clearing referring to what would now be the old testimate scriptures. You'll have to do better than that. Jesus Christ did not leave a Bible behind. THEE incarnate word of God the Father left 12 commissioned apstolic (one who is sent) bishops (aka office/'officers) behind granting them all his authority in heaven and earth...you can read it all in Acts. You definitely need to read your bible more.
@Basil Conway actually no u cannot find any scripture that supports faith alone, Satan has faith alone. Hmmm who is Jesus quoting, good sir how are u ingnorant of the faith, Jesus Christ Son of the Living God, Word of God Incarnate is THE Scripture. It's amazing how all of u say bible alone, yet resever the right of Matthew 16. Your traditions come from men; Henry VIII, Luther, Calvin, Zwinglie who were no called of God. Lord Jesus Christ only breathed on 11 men, the Apostles in John 20, all authority on heaven and earth was given to them. And they passed that on through the laying on of hands as they were the first Bishops of the church. Check ur man made KJV. Btw there was not one book of the new testimate for the first 7 years of the chruch. Ur faith and bible alone fails reality and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ quoted from the Septuagent and the original formal Hebrew, while speaking Aramaic. U are a John 6:66 Christian.
@Basil Conway ur a calvinst thus a follower of John Calvin thus a man, and as Saint Paul spake, all MEN are liars, and John Calvin is the worst...Geneva tyrant and murderer that no non denominatial christian would follow...u hypocrite and Christ denier of the body blood soul and divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. U have no authority and no power on earth as it is in heaven. The devil can quote scripture and ur quotation of scripture has no value because its ur own opinion as the wind. We can go toe to toe with the "bible" but which bible...the KJV? Seriously what a man made tradition. No, ur traditions of Luther Calvin, Zwinglie, Henry VIII is what led u here...try something new after 500 years...the athiests are about to destroy non catholic denominations...u all dont even know what true worship is...pitty..peace be too u and may God the Father have mercy on thee....ohh we can quote the bible...ur about to get the neo vanguard of Catholics that quote sculpture and ur day is over.
“While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”” Luke 11:27-28 NASB1995 Jesus rebuke the women that tried to worship Mary. “While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him. Someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You.” But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers!

The prayers of the saints is on (Revelation 5:8) and if by sacrifice he means the Transubstantiation That would be on (John 6:53) (John 6:56) (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) (Matthew 26:26)
Revelation 5:8 They are not praying TO saints. These are saints praying TO God big difference. Catholics pray to saints thinking saints are intermediaries they are praying to demons.

@@edalbanese6310 How ignorant of you to call the Catholic Church a sect! The Catholic Church is the original, true and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself some 2,000 years ago. Who founded your church? I'm sure its only founded by a human being not Jesus himself; not 2,000 years old; its not original, true, and full Christian church - but only recent, false and incomplete! Because of these, we Catholics call everybody else like yours not a church but only an ecclesial community, a denomination or a sect. So your calling the Catholic Church a sect is funnily (because of ignorance) erroneous!
Mary is the Ark of the Covenant, the Gospel as the word of God states in Luke 1:48: for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant, From now on all generations will call me blessed". When was the last time a protestant called Mary blessed? This is the Gospel they deny. Luke goes on (verse 51): "He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts". I think of RC Sproul and the scattered provincial "churches" across the states... No liturgy, no tradition... A dying distortion of luther and calvin
That's pure foolishness.Mary is not the ark of the covenant and nowhere in the Bible does it state that Mary is the ark of the covenant. The ark of the covenant was a golden chest that housed the ten commandments and Moses's staff and other items. It has nothing to do with Mary You should try reading your Bible.
Third, Jesus sets out his purpose and plan (vv. 18-19). There is a play here on the name ‘Peter’, which means ‘a stone’; Jesus says that there is a rock on which Jesus is going to build his church. These words have been interpreted and misinterpreted down through the years. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, has always insisted that Peter was the rock on which the church was to be built, although within a very short time Satan was to use Peter’s voice to rebuke Jesus (16:23). It is more natural to understand Jesus’ purpose as being to build his church, not on the disciple, but on his confession: the basis of the church is that Jesus is confessed as Lord. It is through the church that Christ intends to make his word and will known; when she speaks in Christ’s name, the church binds and looses, and opens the gates of heaven to those who believe and closes them on those who do not.

Praise be to Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you all. I'm here to ashame the devil for thus is his very nature. To cause divisions, arguments, and disunity. The devil is the accuser. Revelation:12 [10] Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 1 John:2 [18] Warning against Antichrists Children, it is the last hour! As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now MANY ANTICHRISTS have come. From this we know that it is the last hour. [19] THEY WENT OUT FROM US, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us. [20] But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and ALL OF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE. [21] I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth. [22] Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. [23] No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also. [24] Let what you HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. Luke:10 [21] Jesus Rejoices At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND THE INTELLIGENT AND HAVE REVEALED THEM TO INFANTS; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Isaiah:1 [3] The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s crib; BUT ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW, MY PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Matthew:16 [18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. - EVEN YOUR COMMENTS WILL NOT. Matthew:5 [10] “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. [12] Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, FOR IN THE SAME WAY THEY PERSECUTED THE PROPHETS WHO WERE BEFORE YOU. John:15 [18] The World’s Hatred “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. [19] If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world-therefore the world hates you. [20] Remember the word that I said to you, ‘Servants are not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. [21] But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. [25] It was to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ Romans:10 [12] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. [13] For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans:14 [4] WHO ARE YOU to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand. [10] Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? FOR WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD. [13] Do Not Make Another Stumble Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another. [19] Let us then PURSUE WHAT MAKES FOR PEACE and for mutual upbuilding. 1 Corinthians:1 [10] Divisions in the Church Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. [11] For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. [12] What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.” [13] Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Corinthians:3 [3] for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? [4] For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely human? [5] What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. [6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. [7] So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. [13] the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. [22] whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all belong to you, [23] and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God. 1 Corinthians:13 [4] Love is PATIENT; love is KIND; love is not envious or BOASTFUL or arrogant [5] or rude. It DOES NOT INSIST ON ITS OWN WAY; it is not irritable or resentful; [6] it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. [7] It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Galatians:5 [19] Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, [20] idolatry, sorcery, ENMITIES, STRIFE, jealousy, anger, QUARRELS, dissensions, factions, [21] envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God. 2 Thessalonians:2 [8] And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming. [9] The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, [10] and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Isaiah:1 [12] When you come to appear before me, who asked this from your hand? Trample my courts no more; - A pagan practice. John:20 [22] When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. [23] If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Acts:11 [12] The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. Peace and proud to be a Christian, charismatic Catholic.Acts:1 [8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
McArthur pointed out the main problem with praying to Mary: unbelief in the mercy and compassion of God. A huge offence to our Heavenly Father and the Prince of Peace. Thank you for clearing up.
When I pray to Mary I’m simply asking her powerful intercession for me! Do you not ask your family and friend’s to pray for you? Mr Sproul is in HELL because of his arrogance,his spiritual arrogance and pride. With grace I could have torn to pieces what Mr Sproul said. The only way he could be right is if he’s infallible AND HE WASN’T! There’s ONLY ONE person on this planet who’s infallible and that’s his holiness Pope Francis. Look up what it means by papal infallibility so you know in the future. Watch the warning or illumination of conscience by Christine Watkins. Then The Papacy can NOT be destroyed. Then Don’t call protestant’s Christian. Then Following Padre Pio. Also nearly forgot look up Eucharist miracle of Lanciano in 700AD. God bless. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!! Ps I imitate Jesus who praises his beautiful and Immaculate mum in Heaven as he did on earth two thousand year’s ago and when he founded the holy Catholic Church which is his mystical body on earth.
Thank You RC and Johhny Mac 💙
No one could love Mary more than her son did.
No one could love me more than Jesus My Saviour does.
False. Mary does not have any special authority over Jesus Christ.
Matthew12:47 Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You."
48But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” 49Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers. 50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Jesus, the Son of God, only do the will of God, the Father.

@@fly.into.theblueHow does this disprove that Jesus loves her…
@@matthewodonnell6495 Praying to Mary so she can request Jesus to do something is unbiblical. It is heresy.
@@fly.into.theblue MacArthur doesn’t fully understand what Catholics believe. have you ever asked an brother or sister in Christ to pray for you? That’s essentially want asking Mary to pray for you means. Cannot God do what He pleases? God could save all the elect in a second if He wants but He still commands the preaching of the Gospel. We could all just do Christianity on our own but God has made it so we have a community of believers to fellowship with and communion with. If our brothers and sisters are more alive than us in heaven, and are with God forever they are still our brothers and sisters now, and it would be the same as asking anyone to pray for us. The book Revelation shows evidence that the martyred saints in heaven know what’s going on down here on Earth, and the elders hold bowls of incense which are the prayers of the saints. James 5:17 tells us the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective, and we would both agree that the brethren in heaven are righteous and without sin in Gods presence.
It’s because prayer gets mixed with worship when it was not intended as worship. And also reformers put the books on prayers to the saints on a 2nd tier that eventually got removed from Protestant bibles
My God is not a dead woman and a collection of dead saints. The captain of my salvation conquered death when He died on the cross and rose again from death. His name is Jesus. We pray to Jesus, not to a dead woman who is dead and in the grave.

The Last Super was the first Mass and began on the night of that particular laid down Jewish Passover, as the old evolved from old to new, Jesus became our sacrificial lamb raised to God our Father. The Jews had 12 tribes.The First Apostles were .. 12 in number .Peter was the first Pope. Mary,pure concieved WITHOUT sin had to be so, in order to bear Christ her Saviour and yours and mine. This was her destiny; the woman who taught Jesus the Jewish faith with St Joseph. When asked to pray for someone,you bring your petitions to Jesus. So does The Blessed Mother. We are not pure like Mary was designed by God to carry the Word who becane flesh...Jesus.She was the first Tabernacle carrying Jesus.She is the woman about thehouse of The Trinity .You petition Christ.She petitions Christ.Prayer is prayer.We have faith in her role laid down by God..Laid diwn by God as God created The Blessed Mother.It was His idea ! She takes requests of prayer to The Trinity else zillions upon zillions of miracles from St Francis to Padre Pio would not have taken place.Jesus says we are His brothers and sisters ,so therefore Mary IS our mother too by default .Jesus gave us his mother at the foot of The Cross. We bring our petitions to her just as King Solomen took petitions only from his mother,so too does Christ. This is a Royal Jewish tradition. God protects the universal Church with billions of members with unbroken lines to that last Passover and First Mass which was instituted by Jesus himself under the hand of God who is all wisdom. Every RC Priest prostrates before Jesus alive in the Tabernacle i e The Word Of God made flesh ..in the form of Bread. Jesus is alive in every single Tabernacle in every single R.C. Church. He said He would be with us until the end of time. He most certainly is in many manifestations but in this particular form too.This form of Christ is there to be discovered and revealed to those who will seek Jesus here,even to visit. If not true or not serving God's will( not denying its shortcomings as an institutions but nit for ne to judge ) then why has God allowed it to thrive and grow from mission fields to the poor Fransciscans ?God allowed The Blessed Mother of 1531 Mexico (Guadalupe) to bring about 6 Million Aztecs (who sacrificed children to their false gods)to convert to this true RC Church. Who knows what is next? God knows. Come Holy Spirit! Our Blessed Mother,The Helper Of All Christians,pray for us as one uniquely close to The Holy Trinity. In your humble words Mother Mary : "The Almighty has worked wonders for me.Holy is His name". Amen. Ave Maria. Deo Gratias.

From your perspective which church is right? Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, non-denominational and on? The Protestant reformation sounds more like a sad division story than a success story.
@@matthewodonnell6495 well, there are certain elements that make a church a legitimate church. First there has to be the church, a gathered group of believers of the gospel, unto the power for which them to be saved. And they must adhere to what scripture says about what worship is. Two offices should be in the church elder and deacon. The elders are to administer the word and prayer , the deacons to serve. There is no anglican hier archy like found in the catholic church and other denominations. Rather two offices said above. Of course a church must govern its theology on scripture and scripture alone as its first and final authority. The Catholics believe the church has equal authority to scripture. Thats not true. And also one of the reasons they recognize the apocrypha. Simply put, the catholic church is not valid. They pray to other people like mary and the saints who have no authority to interevene on our behalf, you know it i know it the bibles clear Christ is the high priest and our mediator. They grossly commit idolatary and should repent and go back to being the Catholic church originally established like you said. They went off the rails when they added "Roman Catholic" to their secture as a counter reformation. If they would repent , they would be the catholic church again. But they are not. They are apostate and preach a different gospel. And by Gods grace you were saved, but your in a dangerous place in that communion. I dont even know you but i hope the spirit convicts you to start asking your priests questions and compare it to scripture and run out of there
06:30-07:00 "Once Saved Always Saved" is another error of Martin Luther and John Calvin is not only contradicted by Scripture, but the very Words of Jesus Christ our Blessed Lord. St. Paul in Roman's was dealing with an early heresy of the Church between Christian Jews, and newly converted gentile Christians. It is a very specific focus, not just an generic template. This is an error from Martin Luther who added "alone" to Roman's 3:28 because it's what made "legal" sense to him, but he admits he added it. No Bible translation prior to his since the 4th Century had "faith alone," and you would be hard pressed to find one that does today. No one uses Martin Luther's Bible.
Have you read Martin Luther himself? He added "alone" because otherwise it would make absolutely zero sense in the common german language if he were to translate it directly from the Latin, exactly how it says. Translating to different languages changes some phrases so that the point gets across. Also, Paul constantly says faith apart from works, that literally means a lone, it is APART from works, there is nothing else to add, so it made sense to add "alone" for the german people, otherwise that particular phrase would make zero sense to the common german folk.
@@florida8953 no your reference point is not historically accurate. Luther wrote (which I have read) a 23 page letter on how hr explains to a colleague that he could not under stand the greek context of "full of grace" and it did not make sense from a german language (of which there were dozens of dialects at the time) and the german folk would not speak like that or understand what it means. Thus he says, "dr. Martin luther will habe it so." Here we have a critical error in translating the greek which Martin Luther was not an expert in, also he was rushing to make printing timelines. He takes the angelic salute of "full of grace" which has a direct implication on the way God has Mary's name and her condition. Martib Luther errors and because he is his own authority messed up. This is all public record btw. Additionally Luther's own words (for me) condemned him forever because one of the cardinal points he makes concerning the Book of Revelation is "i can in no way detect the Holy Spirit in it." Thats it...game over, that is false teaching and anti christ, and holy scripture states to have nothing to do with these people. If u accept Martin Luther after reading his own words, then u come to to point of follow a man versus God. And you cant say well Catholic Church bad thus ML good...no, you must throw out ML and find a new reference.
@@florida8953 and you incorrect with you interpretation of St. Paul which puts him in conflict with Jesus Christ and a number of apostles. St. Paul was talking about a specific context the Pharisees who had added their man made traditions to the Moseic law that Jesus Christ our Lord restored to a new covenant centered on the Eucharist. You have a hotted headed prideful german lawyer redefining scripture to the subject he know; man made law. ML had no authority and was also a neo-manician heretic aka no free will and total depravity, which Holy Scripture does not teach.
@@florida8953 you also just ended the debate...you admit freely that he added "alone" to the bible...even the modern bible translations dont have "alone" in Roman 3:28. You are saved by: Christ, grace, faith, works/'obedience, love (the greatest), divine mercy, baptism, and confession of the belief of Jesus Christ. This is what the Catholic Church has always taught.

Poor RC seems to have stopped reading Catholic teaching at "unbloody" sacrifice. Sounds like he didn't realize "unbloody" specifically means Christ does not die again, as if the Cross was insufficient. If he'd been a little more thorough in his "studies of Roman Catholic theology", maybe he could have avoided refuting himself in the same sentence. It's easy to defeat strawman arguments.
There's quite a bit of depth to the doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass, and there are a lot of Protestant obstacles to overcome just to be able to understand the teaching itself, let alone come to a place where one could weigh it honestly.
It starts here. I guess you are wrong.
Third, Jesus sets out his purpose and plan (vv. 18-19). There is a play here on the name ‘Peter’, which means ‘a stone’; Jesus says that there is a rock on which Jesus is going to build his church. These words have been interpreted and misinterpreted down through the years. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, has always insisted that Peter was the rock on which the church was to be built, although within a very short time Satan was to use Peter’s voice to rebuke Jesus (16:23).
It is more natural to understand Jesus’ purpose as being to build his church, not on the disciple, but on his confession: the basis of the church is that Jesus is confessed as Lord. It is through the church that Christ intends to make his word and will known; when she speaks in Christ’s name, the church binds and looses, and opens the gates of heaven to those who believe and closes them on those who do not.

Catholics pray to dead Mary and hundreds of dead saints but when you say they pray to dead they will outright deny it and say we are only talking to them to help, isn't talking, praying! The Bible says "what does the dead got to do with the living" also Jesus said " no one goes to the father except (not dead Mary or dead Saints) through Me" no hatred for Catholics but praying for them to know the truth. Read the the Bible, please and come out of this cult called Roman Catholicism. With love.
quote; what does the dead got to do with the living"
Where is this verse found in Scripture?
Well the Bible says Moses died and God buried him (Deuteronomy 34:5-7), yet the same dead Moses appeared to Jesus during Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3). Care to explain?
You forgot the word Blessed.

A common misunderstanding among Protestants is that Catholics pray to Mary and the Saints. But, in the Hail Mary it clearly states “pray FOR us sinners”…btw I’m not Catholic, just a mere Christian as C. S. Lewis wrote about.
Mary was a chosen vessel to give birth to Jesus Christ, Jesus taught to pray to the Father, not Mary.... Bible says there is only 1 mediator "Jesus" Mary is dead and gone, no mention of her after the Gospels.... Jesus said "I Am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me" sounds pretty clear.... the catholic church is a combination of many false beliefs to appeal to a large part of the world.... it may very well be the religion that stands out during the tribulation and the one world church.
Well Catholics don't understand that when they close their eyes and call on Mary that she mighty pray for us sinners .... they are talking therefore praying to Mary.... The person you adresse in your prayer is your helper and your god. They changed the definition of what praying and worship means but their occult practices fit in the biblical definition of what praying to other god's o other Persons is. They are guilty of that. sadly

Your Protestant church believed in confession and marian doctrine during Luther. You only existed in your current state recently
It's about faith in Jesus Christ. It has nothing to do with Luther or anybody else. Why don't you start there? Who is your faith in? if it's not in Christ ALONE , you're in trouble. Nobody cares about luther .
@@FlatlandBreeze well lutheranism is not protestantism. But we see youve studied church history very well lol
Forgot only the reformed Calvinist church invented 1500 years after Christ is the right one. “Upon this rock I will build my church”… I guess Jesus meant in 1500 years the church would finally form. Lol. Ridiculous. Heretical Protestant church comes around over a thousand years after the apostles and has the nerve to say everyone else before them is wrong.
The teaching you bring up is literally everything taught in Jesus day. The Roman catholic church took Jesus's play on words and used it to proclaim themselves as the true religion. They killed, beat and raped people that got in the way of their new world order. Read the Bible. Not traditions the catholics yeah you.
"Ordinary catholic families cannot survive.They must be extraordinary catholic families. They must be what I do not hesitate to call 'heroic' catholic families.Ordinary catholic families are no match for the devil as he uses media of communication to secularize and desacralize modern society.No less than ordinary individual catholics can survive,so ordinary catholic families cannot survive.They have no choice. They must either be holy- which means sanctified - or they will disappeared". Fr John Hardon S.J
Many Catholics easily stray away from the faith that they received. What are the reasons for their falling into complacency, becoming indifferent and even hostile towards Christ and the Christian Faith?
The fault with many Catholics is that they think baptism is a graduation from having acquired knowledge and understanding of their faith. After completing their catechism classes or RCIA journey, they no longer seek out opportunities to continue growing their faith, both doctrinally and spiritually. Their only occasion to grow in faith is the one-hour Mass that they attend every Sunday. This is hardly enough to sustain the life of a Catholic. Those who do not grow in their faith are already losing their faith. There is no neutrality.
How, then, can we grow in our faith? Firstly, we need to deepen our intimacy with God through Christ. In Christ, we come to know and love the Father. Secondly, we must be rooted in the Word of God. We cannot grow in our faith without deepening our love and appreciation for the Word of God through bible study and most of all, a prayerful reading and sharing of the Word of God.
Thirdly, we must seek the support of the Christian community. A Catholic without the support of his fellow Catholics will eventually fall out from the faith, especially when he undergoes the trials and challenges of life, the influence of secularism, and the materialistic, individualistic and atheistic views of the world. Fourthly, to grow our faith, we need to evangelise and be a witness to Christ. We evangelise ourselves by evangelising others. By sharing our faith with others, we strengthen our own faith. By teaching our faith to others, we grow in understanding and clarity in what we believe in.
Finally, growing in faith is to grow in our Christian life. This is the most effective form of witnessing. It means that those of us who are baptised must live a life of holiness and purity, free from sin and a bad conscience. A life of holiness and charity are the fruits of a strong spiritual life and a life of hope founded in the promises of God.
If the Catholic Church is accused of being satanic, that is no more than its Founder, Jesus Christ, was accused of. When our Lord was on earth, he had the same problem. He was driving demons out, and some said he was doing this by the power of the devil. How did Jesus respond? He said, “How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand; that is the end of him” (Mk 3:23-26).
The Catholic Church drives out the devil, too. This practice is called exorcism. No one can deny that the Catholic Church has been doing exorcisms on people and driving out Satan for nearly two millennia. Therefore, we must reason like Jesus: If the Catholic Church were from the devil, it could not drive the devil out.
We shouldn’t be surprised when such charges are made against the Catholic Church. Jesus told us, “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household” (Mt 10:24-25).

You’re right. I don’t understand protestantism. I don’t understand how 30 thousand denominations can coexist and still claim that each had the definite truth and right interpretation of scripture. That is maddening; and these differences concern not only small matters but big things like salvation, justification, baptism, to name a few. As a former protestant I can tell you that the landscape of the church world looks very different when you step back from your own denominational lens and realize that two churches teaching completely different theologies can’t possibly both be right; let alone thousands of churches.
Here you go...i guess reading the Bible helps.

We all will meet the one true and only God the Holy Creator one day ( Hebrews 9;27) and He's being merciful by giving us all time to get right with Him before judgement day, because when judgement day comes you get no second chances. God came as Jesus in the flesh to go and pay our sin debt on the cross, we deserve hell we deserve to take our punishment but in His great love and mercy He took our punishment and sins to the cross. He died and paid for our sin debt in full ( John 19:30) then God the Father rose Jesus on the third day with glory and power and triumph and He conquered hell, sin, death, satan, the world. Jesus broke down the wall that separated us from Him so we can come to Him and be saved and have a relationship with Him. believe and repent of your sins and God will forgive and cleanse you and make you born again by His Holy Spirit ( John 3). today is the day of salvation, you don't know what day or hour or minute or even the second you'll die. Heaven is eternal and hell is eternal as well. Jesus is the only way to Heaven He's the only way we can be saved from sin and from hell ( John 14, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-14). don't choose sin over the Holy loving God. come to Jesus! believe and repent ( 1 Cor 6:9-10, Romans 3:23, John 3:15-18, Rom 10:9-14, NKJV).
I thought this guy loved Augustine and Aquinas and he thinks praying to the saints is idolatry?
Can you seriously not distinguish between those two things?
You should watch the whole conference.. this is a tiny snippit. RC is spot on.
man... you have so few hits in 2 years!
I had a altercation at bible study over this. People think Catholic communion is ok. I said they are crucifiing Christ at their communion, thats wrong. The others said it doesnt count because they are doing it out of ignorance. How are can evangelical Christians think that the Catholic church is ok.
Some people really need to read the bible. Study the Doctrines of Grace that came out of the Westminster Confession. These theologians didnt spend 5 years studying and Martyrs didnt died for their beliefs for people now to abandon the truth. Luther left the Catholic church for the truth, and now in 21st century after all these faithful people laid down the lives, people of today are watering the Gospel Message down. Shame on you. Christ died for you.
As a devout protestant who converted and is now a devout Catholic, I totally understand where you are coming from. However, please look this issue up and see what the Catholic Church actually teaches about the Mass. What they said is absolutely not true. Catholicism does not teach that they are crucifying Christ again or "re-sacrificing Christ." The Church teaches that they are "re-presenting" Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. The difference here is that while they are lying and telling you that Catholics think they are killing and sacrificing Jesus again, the truth is that we are simply asking God to look upon the very same sacrifice that Jesus made again once and for all for all Christians. In other words, we are not saying "we have killed Jesus again so that you will forgive us." That would certainly be an evil thing to do. Rather, when Jesus becomes present in Eucharist through the bread and wine, we are asking God to see the sacrifice that Jesus already made 2000 years ago and to forgive us again on the basis of that sacrifice. But don't believe me. Look it up for yourself. See how Catholic theologians explain it. Sproul and McArthur are either lying or hopefully just very very ignorant about what Catholics believe.
To all current people who follow these people, i used to love everything they said and took it as food. But once i read the rarly church fathers and learn what the early church taught and believed its not what these mean believe. I promise, learn about the early followers of christ. I have become Catholic. I was just like you and said i would never be Catholic. Please i ask you to pray to Jeaus and let the holy Spirit guide you to truth. I am not trying to convert yall. I will also not respond to a comment. Please look at what the early church believed. They were Catholics
You need to really read the Bible. It’s not difficult to see the false doctrine of Catholicism when you read the Bible
@melodic777 look I get your perspective! I used to insult the Catholic religion, but I went to a mass for the first time 4 months ago and I fell in love! I saw all the scriptures in the bible pop out. I saw Christ high and lifted up!
I saw the scripture " and all will be taught by God"!
I saw the prophecy Micah says about all going to the house of the Lord!
I saw this holy fear in the Catholic church!
I also saw the scripture when Jesus says his people will be known by there love for one another! The people in the Catholic church really loved the the apostles as if they were still alive, because in there hearts they are still alive. "Those who believe pass from death to life"!
I don't have the answer to ever question your about to ask me, if you actually read this far! All I can say! I was lied to about the Catholic church and how could I have been so blind to God's universal church!
Why do you believe all the very early Christians did everything right and had all the right beliefs? They were all new to Christianity. They couldn’t have understood everything completely right.
@MommyEtc For me personally, it makes more sense to trust the evidence closer to the source. The apostles are the closest to the source we have, and the apostles had disciples who also write stuff down. They are also just as close! So my trust is in the apostles and their disciples, I trust they got Jesus right and what Jesus meant in his teachings!
@MommyEtc I understand we may disagree on things. I'm just saying what I've learned! It's obvious to me now. It was not obvious to me a year ago. I told everyone I would never be a Catholic. But after going to my first mass about 3 months ago. The bible felt so real. I was told the Catholic church practices things that are not in the bible. But after going to my first mass, everything in the bible stood out! My mind was filled with prophecies Isaiah wrote about, I saw his prophecies being fulfilled. I my heart was hardened for years! But turns out, that Catholic church has the fullness of God. In my self righteousness I could not see it. But I see it now! God bless you
Rc Sproul is a false teacher. He taught a false gospel.The gospel means “good news”. The gospel is the proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. The entire Bible (Old testament and New Testament) foreshadows and proclaims who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only (John 5:39, Luke 24:44).
Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16), fully God and fully man (John 1:1 & 1:14) and second person in the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17).
The gospel is God’s testimony concerning Jesus as revealed in the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Spirit which proclaims how Jesus the Christ (John 1:41, Matthew 16:16) was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23) and born under the law to redeem His elect who were under the law and save His elect from their sins (Matthew 1:21, Galatians 4:4).
God’s elect /sheep are the people past, present and future from every tribe, tongue and nation God actively chose to redeem/ justify/save based on Christ. God chose in Christ before the foundation of the world was laid according to the good pleasure of His will for His glory (Revelations 5:9, Ephesians 1:4-5). God actively created and chose a people from every tribe, tongue and nation before they were born for salvation whom God has always loved because of Christ and only Christ (Romans 8). God’s elect are vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory to make known the riches of His glory (Romans 9). God’s elect/sheep are God’s chosen vessels of mercy that are Jews and Gentiles because of Christ. (John 10, Romans 9:23-26, Hosea 2:23)
God is Holy (Isaiah 6:3). God’s law is holy and good (Romans 7:12). The law of God demands perfection in word, thought, and deed at all times (James 2:10). The law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The law condemned all mankind and brought knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20). All people are under sin and none are righteous (Romans 3:9-18). Sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin and death spread to all mankind because all sinned. (Romans 5:12-13).
Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb without blemish (1 Peter 1:19) for His elect by God’s sovereign grace (1 Corinthians 5:7). Just as the Israelites were released from Egypt after the death of the firstborn (Exodus 11-13) - Jesus Christ the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15) justified all His elect at the cross from the wrath of God(Romans 5:9-11). Jesus willingly went to the cross (Philippians 2:8) and offered one sacrifice for all time for His elect He sanctified (Hebrews 10:11-14) as their representative and High priest. Jesus was crucified for the elect’s sin and raised for their justification (Romans 4:25). It pleased God the Father to crush His only begotten Son( Isaiah 53:10) and God the Father accepted Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on behalf of His sheep( Acts 2:23) . Jesus paid His elect’s sin debt and there is now no condemnation for those who are married to Christ (Romans 7-8).
By Christ’s knowledge He justified all His elect (Isaiah 53:11) and finished His mission (John 19:30). All of God’s sheep will believe God’s testimony concerning Christ because Jesus justified them by His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Not one sheep Jesus died for will perish. Jesus is the good shepherd. Faith(believing God’s testimony concerning Jesus) is the fruit of what Jesus accomplished for His sheep. God’s sheep are righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ provided at the cross as prophesied in Psalm 32 and fulfilled in John 19. All Jesus died for are regenerated at God’s appointed time to believe God’s testimony concerning Christ on who Christ is and what He did at the cross( Acts 13:48).
This man shall be judged by his words.5-7)Faith Alone. This phrase was added to Martin Luther's Bible because he said, "Dr. Martin Luthor will have it so." The only place in Scripture that says faith "only/alone" is: "Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?" [James 2:24]. If we only go by chapter/verse, then the second major pillar of the Protestant Protest falls. You cannot link this back to Romans because the two scriptures will contradict each other. The Apostles of Christ were breathed on by our Blessed Lord and had infallible Judgement by the Holy Ghost. We do not.
6) Sacred Tradition: A position the Catholic Church has taught consistently since 33AD and is consistent with the Old Covenant/Testament, upheld by Sacred Scripture. Scripture alone requires you to let the words stand on their own.
*St. Paul: "Therefore, brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle." [2 Thessalonians 2:14]
*St. Paul: "And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us." [2 Thessalonians 3:6]
*St. Pau: "Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you." [1 Corinthians 11:2]
*St. Paul: "Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus."
[2 Timothy 1:13]
7) The Pillar and Ground of Truth. What is the "Pillar and Ground of Truth?" Is it the Bible? Is it Scripture? Is it the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible even say? If you have never seen this verse, it may come as a surprise, for Holy Scripture of our Blessed Lord from St. Paul, declares unto Bishop Timothy, "But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."
[1 Timothy 3:15]
*Do not attempt to interpret; let the words of St. Paul, an instrument of the Holy Spirit, Stand on their own.
Also Ironic you quote 1 Timothy 3:15, when later in 2 Timothy 3:15-16 it states: "and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. "
Further more, the Catholic Church today is not what Christ taught, nor does it reflect the Gospel Properly.

@@jcentricity secondly, to your intercession point. Intercession isn't sinful, nor is it speaking with demons, this point has been offered and refuted by Catholic theologians, apologist, and alike. God Bless.
good stuff
If you deny intercession, well then don't ask anyone to pray for you, and don't pray for anyone else, right? Crazy old man. Also, it would have been interesting to have a Catholic there to clarify all of the lies that were perpetrated by these so called ministers.
What a panel of weak Evangelicals. We Catholics have a proverb about one’s width of reading, depth of study, and height of understanding of the Bible and where this leads to for the person/s. “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.”
There are many variants of the Catholic Church. Which sect do you belong to?
@@edalbanese6310 How ignorant of you to call the Catholic Church a sect! The Catholic Church is the original, true and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself some 2,000 years ago. Who founded your church? I'm sure its only founded by a human being not Jesus himself; not 2,000 years old; its not original, true, and full Christian church - but only recent, false and incomplete! Because of these, we Catholics call everybody else like yours not a church but only an ecclesial community, a denomination or a sect. So your calling the Catholic Church a sect is funnily (because of ignorance) erroneous!
Mary is the Ark of the Covenant, the Gospel as the word of God states in Luke 1:48: for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant, From now on all generations will call me blessed". When was the last time a protestant called Mary blessed? This is the Gospel they deny. Luke goes on (verse 51): "He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts". I think of RC Sproul and the scattered provincial "churches" across the states... No liturgy, no tradition... A dying distortion of luther and calvin
That's pure foolishness.Mary is not the ark of the covenant and nowhere in the Bible does it state that Mary is the ark of the covenant. The ark of the covenant was a golden chest that housed the ten commandments and Moses's staff and other items. It has nothing to do with Mary You should try reading your Bible.
@beadoll8025 biblical typology
RC Sproul knows now that Jesus Himself founded the Catholic Church.
Where is your proof?
Lol
Yes he did YOUR FALSE JESUS
another Christ
@@Reformed_Naga YES ANOTHER Jesus and......😂😂😂😂
@@tristanmaxwell8403 those who wants Proof for the truth established by God;are the one who made himself equally with God.
Hilarious. Thanks for the laughs!
Third, Jesus sets out his purpose and plan (vv. 18-19). There is a play here on the name ‘Peter’, which means ‘a stone’; Jesus says that there is a rock on which Jesus is going to build his church. These words have been interpreted and misinterpreted down through the years. The Roman Catholic Church, for example, has always insisted that Peter was the rock on which the church was to be built, although within a very short time Satan was to use Peter’s voice to rebuke Jesus (16:23).
It is more natural to understand Jesus’ purpose as being to build his church, not on the disciple, but on his confession: the basis of the church is that Jesus is confessed as Lord. It is through the church that Christ intends to make his word and will known; when she speaks in Christ’s name, the church binds and looses, and opens the gates of heaven to those who believe and closes them on those who do not.

@@edalbanese6310 Nice try. "Thou art Peter and upon this rock I shall build my CHURCH and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Period. Period. But nicevtry twisting it to mean what you would like.
@@fedup745 🤣 Bro that's the word in Greek! Read the Greek! Do a word study!
@@fedup745 Because the road might be paved in honey and milk it does not literally mean that....
@@edalbanese6310 You heretics will twist anything because you will not serve. And that's the bottom line. Someone else said that too. It did not end well for him either.
Praise be to Jesus Christ.
Jesus loves you all.
I'm here to ashame the devil for thus is his very nature. To cause divisions, arguments, and disunity. The devil is the accuser.
Revelation:12
[10] Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
1 John:2
[18] Warning against Antichrists Children, it is the last hour! As you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now MANY ANTICHRISTS have come. From this we know that it is the last hour.
[19] THEY WENT OUT FROM US, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us.
[20] But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and ALL OF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE.
[21] I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth.
[22] Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
[23] No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.
[24] Let what you HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father.
Luke:10
[21] Jesus Rejoices At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND THE INTELLIGENT AND HAVE REVEALED THEM TO INFANTS; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
Isaiah:1
[3] The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master’s crib; BUT ISRAEL DOES NOT KNOW, MY PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
Matthew:16
[18] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. - EVEN YOUR COMMENTS WILL NOT.
Matthew:5
[10] “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11] “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.
[12] Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, FOR IN THE SAME WAY THEY PERSECUTED THE PROPHETS WHO WERE BEFORE YOU.
John:15
[18] The World’s Hatred “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.
[19] If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world-therefore the world hates you.
[20] Remember the word that I said to you, ‘Servants are not greater than their master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
[21] But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
[25] It was to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
Romans:10
[12] For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him.
[13] For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans:14
[4] WHO ARE YOU to pass judgment on servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall. And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
[10] Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do you despise your brother or sister? FOR WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD.
[13] Do Not Make Another Stumble Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of another.
[19] Let us then PURSUE WHAT MAKES FOR PEACE and for mutual upbuilding.
1 Corinthians:1
[10] Divisions in the Church Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.
[11] For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters.
[12] What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.”
[13] Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians:3
[3] for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations?
[4] For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely human?
[5] What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each.
[6] I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
[7] So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
[13] the work of each builder will become visible, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done.
[22] whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-all belong to you,
[23] and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
1 Corinthians:13
[4] Love is PATIENT; love is KIND; love is not envious or BOASTFUL or arrogant
[5] or rude. It DOES NOT INSIST ON ITS OWN WAY; it is not irritable or resentful;
[6] it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.
[7] It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Galatians:5
[19] Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness,
[20] idolatry, sorcery, ENMITIES, STRIFE, jealousy, anger, QUARRELS, dissensions, factions,
[21] envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things WILL NOT inherit the kingdom of God.
2 Thessalonians:2
[8] And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming.
[9] The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders,
[10] and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
Isaiah:1
[12] When you come to appear before me, who asked this from your hand? Trample my courts no more; - A pagan practice.
John:20
[22] When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
[23] If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Acts:11
[12] The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house.
Peace and proud to be a Christian, charismatic Catholic.Acts:1
[8] But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Born again fundamentalism is a collection of ingorant interpretations and errors that is as far from Christ as hell is from heaven.
