- Sola Scriptura disproves most elements of Protestant doctrines. Practicing Sola Scriptura correctly should lead you out of Protestantism and towards Catholicism. This is pt. 1 using Matthew 5:13ESV to disprove the Protestant doctrine of 'Total Depravity'.

as i see the problem with differences between protestant and catholic views on salvation is that catholic believers demand good works for them to see if a person is saved or not. But only God knows the heart and if person fully relies on Christ for salvation, or not. We just can't judge if people are saved or not
@@nikitakovbasiuk2749 May I ask where you get the idea “that catholic believers demand good works?”
@@Ericmccabe1917 My brother- in- law is a roman catholic and he told us verbatim that in order to be married he had to confess and then proclaim over 50 hail maries. Im sorry but no amount of prayer or actions on mans part will ever *earn* him the kingdom of god. The just man must live by faith alone.
"Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." - Habakkuk 2:4
"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." - Romans 1:17
Also indulgences are a BIG red flag. 🔴✋
@@dannydorito2954 you are just simply misinterpreting. As a recent Christian I've found this to be one of the biggest issues for converters. People don't understand that the spirit requires discipline say way our body require discipline to maintain a healthy body, and our minds require discipline to avoid filth from being our first thoughts. The psychological aspects of confession are brilliant and the concept is used today in secular psychotherapy. The hail Mary's, same way used in the rosary prayer, require meditating and reflecting on Christ's life. And the catholic church values the sacrament of penance along with many other sacraments as one of the disciplines needed to strengthen the spirit and faith. Example, you can workout, but if you don't eat right you won't be healthy. Likewise you can confess, but if you don't repent the confession does nothing. These are disciplines that the church uses to guide you to strengthen your spirit but ultimately rely on you to do yourself the favor of wanting to get closer to God.
My view on Matthew 5.13.
Lets start by reading the whole passage which spans form verse 13 through to 16.
Jesus calls the disciples the salt of the earth but it doesn't end there it goes on to say they are the light of the world. He says yet again no one light a lamp and sets it under a table. Check this, a disciple is a follower of someone or a practice okay. Jesus in this sermon is talking to his followers, those that follow him wholeheartedly we can see that in the first and second verse.
The sermon on the mount is not a sermon to unbelievers but to those who follow Christ, it teaches us how to live. Yes it was also spoken to a large crowd but by what he says we can tell those words were meant for followers. He teaches to correct our ideologies and thoughts and align them to his will. Every single topic goes on to that.
So then no one is salt except like the disciples they follow Christ. When you follow Christ he starts a fire in you which he calls light. Because you are set apart and not like the rest of the world do these things in this sermon, preserve the world through preaching of the word and good works. If he was telling them as they are "you are the salt" then how do u qualify the later part "if salt loses its saltiness"? How can you lose what you don't have?
I just thought I submit what looked like gaps in your presentation.
You’re right. I follow the New Testament and I’m just a Christian. No more and no less.
No denomination.
It’s Christ’s Church.
@@mattm4557 you don’t belong to a Church?
@@Ericmccabe1917 sure I do. I’m part of Christ’s Church. The nondenominational universal Church that has existed since the first century as seen in Acts. We come together on the first day of the week to take the lords supper and worship our maker and savior. We share the gospel with others and do our best to walk in light. We preach the message of reconciliation as stated in 2 Cor 5 and baptism for the remission of sins just as Peter in did Acts 2:38.
If it’s taught in the New Testament then we apply it. If it’s not, then we reject it or at least leave it to personal judgment call of the individual Christian.
@@mattm4557 The church since the first century was catholic not nondenominational. If you follow the church from the day one you must be catholic. The church instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, the church from Rome, the church from Peter and Paul is catholic.
@@brunogasperin false.
@@mattm4557 Go and read about the early father of the church and try to elaborate a point next time. Just saying "false" does not mean it is false and you are right. Take care and be good.
Christ our savior brings us out of our “total depravity”. Read Ephesians 2:1. In fact read all of Ephesians 1. I’m sorry you fell into a Catholic trap brother.
But many Protestants confess total depravity even after justification. I agree, Christ brings us out of anything labeled “depraved”!
@@Ericmccabe1917 Romans 7:18. “In my flesh dwells no good thing.” Sounds like total depravity to me.
@@robertpetrie2536 "For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members."
-Romans 7:22-23 He says "in my members" twice :)
The devils are the only ones that are totally depraved. And the souls that have been condemned to hell.
"Think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.- Matthew 3:9
Concerning the comment expressing discontent with total depravity:
"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." - Psalm 51:5
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." - Isaiah 64:6
"And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." - 1 Samuel 15:22
"It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart." - Ecclesiastes 7:2
"I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." - 1 Corinthians 15:31
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." - Romans 6:23
And finally,
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." - John 3:6
What do these mean? 🤔
There are much better verses to attempt to substantiate the doctrine of "Total Depravity".
As expressed in those quotes, total depravity is bonkers. Many thanks.
@@BensWorkshop thanks for watching!
The Bible doesnt prove religion, it doesnt even prove to be right in every aspect.. What it does though is to prepare ways to spiritually discern truth from deception, enablling people to detect truth in, through and beyond religion.
I thought religion means following the rules of the God you worship. Doesn't Jesus have rules for his followers?
@@shmoop6543 Even the Bible makes clear in 1 Corint. 13 that all doctrine, all understanding, all knowing, all faith, and with that all religion is worth nothing if it does not transform people into becoming charity, which comprises a lot of qualities such as patience, kindness, the love for truth, not matter where that leads, and so forth.
So, I would say the only rule that truly matters, is how much people become charity, if thats not the outcome, everything else is a waste of time, at least from a spiritual standpoint.
Catholicism is divided as well.
How so?
The bible is a Catholic book. Not everything is in the bible, but there is enough there to make you Catholic.
@@albertaowusu3536 exactly!
We cant be holy on our own, and even though we do a few good works, it doesn't eliminate the fact that we have sin in us. Who does? Jesus removes that bondage and helps us start anew. He gives us the strength to do it.
THE MOMENT WE DARE TRUST OUR OWN STRENGTH IS WHEN WE FALL.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIN BECAUSE OF THE FLESH BUT GOD HAS GIVEN US THE SPIRIT TO GUIDE US AND STRENGTHEN US THAT WE MIGHT WALK RIGHTEOUSLY
i would have written that in small letters i just went too far by the time i realized. lol
Yes, we cannot do a thing on our own.
You can't go to Jesus by rejecting His instructions about the Church's authority, Ex: Matthew 18:18 🎉
Keep exposing the nasty protestants.
I will love every Protestant by trying to show them that the Bible is Catholic.
Nasty protestants? Wow lol
In my experience many people who could be saved through religion avoid it because they feel members of these churches are arrogant aholes and associate that with their religion. Maybe they're right?
