As a convert to the Catholic Church, it gives me such great comfort & assurance to know this, the church as the interpreter of sacred scripture, to have a solid guidance pertaining to those meanings. Likewise, knowing the importance of having an authoritative priesthood/teaching authority, having a priest to whom I can confess my sins, I feel a greater assurance that I am truly absolved. How wonderful that we have the Church as well as the Bible.

Even for Protestants, the Holy Bible isn’t the final authority because they make themselves their own Pope, their own Magisterium. It becomes a game of what *they* want God to be saying through Sacred Scripture and what they want the Apostles saying, believing, understanding, and teaching.
@@JayRedding12_12that’s why I like the Mormons. They have a living prophet that can declare new doctrine. His name is Russell Nelson- he just celebrated his 100th birthday.
I once asked some on where is the Bible in the Bible? They said John 1:1 lmao 'In the beginning was the Bible, and the Bible was with God and the Bible was God'
The WORD in John 1 is not the bible , it is GOD , Christ was called LOGOS before he became flesh 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Bible is not a toy that just give it to everyone or anyone to read it alone. We need a someone to guide us in proper understanding and how to interpret it correctly.. just like we reading a sophisticated medical terms or Constitution book.. those complexity, we need an expert doctor or a lawyer to guide us.. thats way God give us a magisterium to guide us correctly... Amen...🙏✝️📿❤️💚💙
lol , no as that is why there are so many interpretations , learning it for yourself is what the LORD wants you to do , that is why he said , be not deceived for when the blind follow the blind guides they both fall into the ditch If you know what scripture says and means , you won't allow anyone to deceive you by telling you things that are interpreted incorrectly simple as if you know how to do math , when someone says 10 x 12 = 100 , you know that is the wrong answer 😇
This is a silly comment. If scripture was so easy to know what it meant, then there wouldn't be tens of thousands of contradictory denominations that all contradict each other on everything, even basic salvation matters. They all go by the same Bible and I'll have the same Holy Spirit and yet can't agree on what it means. Not to mention biblical Scholars who have been studying it their whole life say there are many confusing and difficult passages to interpret, and yet people like yourself just think it's so easy to 5 year olds can do it. But that's cuz they don't actually understand biblical interpretation and don't have a deep knowledge of it.
problem is people teach and interpret according to their own opinion , all one needs to do is learn what the words mean and how they apply , but lazy people wont , so it is easy to deceive those that wont , just like telling people that Peter was the first pope to the catholic church when Peter was never associated with catholic church ,
@Forseen-vm1qs Your argument holds no water. It's well documented before Nicea that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome ie Pope. That lie doesn't fly with me anymore.
“Sunday is our mark of authority …. The church is above the Bible, and this transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (The Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept. 1, 1923)
Kelvin, that's false. Seventh Day Adventists have never looked up or fact checked the quotes they quote. The Church is the servant of the Bible and has the authority to translate it. The transference of the Sabbath was done in New Testament times by the Apostles and earliest Christians. Lies of Seventh Day Adventist Quotes: (Part 1) th-cam.com/video/slubg_7bDL4/w-d-xo.html (Part 2) th-cam.com/video/Os82eMTSu_8/w-d-xo.html
Prove our statement wrong. Again, according to Scripture, the Church had authority before the New Testament was even written. Also, the Catholic Church was started by Jesus, and there were over 30 popes before the 300s not to mention countless writings from Catholic. History is black and white on this.
If the Bible alone were all we needed then there would not be 1000s of Protestant denominations (which can’t even agree amongst each other on “essentials”). Jesus said that Peter was the rock that he was building his Church on; He did not say that Peter was the rock he was writing his Bible on.
The final and highest authority for the bible alone believers is NOT the Bible but themselves or their private personal interpretation of the Bible. For them, you have to conform to their personal interpretation of the Bible for you to be right. If you don't adhere to their personal interpretation, you are wrong (for them). But oftentimes, these bible alone believers have also diferent interpretations of scriptures. So, which of them or their personal interpretation is right and to be followed when they have thousands and thousands of denominations? This is why many bible alone believers have decided to be alone in their church because they also find errors in the doctrine or interpretation of other bible alone churches. These bible alone believers who are alone in their church also interpret the Bible personally or by themselves because they find errors in every bible alone church. Their church and teaching is not the true Church and true teaching of the Bible.
I really like John 5, 39 "you search the scriptures because you think you have eternal life through them, even they testify on my behalf, but you do not want to come to me to have life". Reading about someone is not the same as being with someone.
it is called forensic level investigative research , not many do that these days , they just want to ask someone to give them the answer so they don't have to
I wonder why protestants are always on Catholic channels and not on their million denominations. Like an ex who broke up with you, but who wouldn't stop talking about you
“Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Matthew 16:22-23 😂
🤷♂️🤷♂️ Where did Jesus revoke his call? We didn't see any such thing in this passage. In fact, he confirmed it later on. Luke 22:24-32, John 21:1-17. Also, your comment has nothing to do with the video whatsoever.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I think you missed the point entirely Bryan. Jesus was not revoking Peter's role as shepherd over the house of Israel here at all, nor was this my point at all. This passage goes to show the fallibility of an apostle can happen at any time, whereas scripture is without error. This is why Peter reminded his readers he did not privately interpret his revelation of prophecy from the Holy Spirit, so they can trust the prophecy. 19 So we have the prophetic WORD MADE MORE SURE, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. Peter said nothing about "church authority" goes above Gods inspired word, nor did Paul, Jesus, James, John etc. ever say such a thing. Nor did they say anything about authority goes over the movement of writing by the Holy Spirit as they were moved. They never showed this in practice either. Do you realize you are making a positive claim, without backing it up? Just because people have a difficult time, obtaining the authors intent of the scriptures, does not mean the scriptures no longer has authority. You have a rich history of superimposing into the text what is not there and did it again with his video and your comment. This reflects your fallen nature, which we are all struggling with, not just you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You missed the point entirely Bryan. Peter demonstrated fallibility, and Jesus rebuked Peter. This goes to show the church does not have higher authority than Gods word. Your theology is based on imagination at best. Peter even stated how he did not privately interpret prophetic revelation from God. 19 So we have the prophetic word MADE MORE SURE, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. You completely missed what is going on here based on your theology Bryan. Peter submitted to the movement by the Holy Spirit, and was NOT made based on human will. This goes to show the Holy Spirit has higher authority than the fallible apostles. What made them apostles to begin with, is they shared the divine revelation they received, but without private interpretation which made the prophecy of scripture MORE SURE.' There is nothing backing up your imagination Bryan, that the church has higher authority than Gods Word. That is like claiming we are as infallible as the Holy Spirit, which is blasphemy.
You're talking about the fallibility of Peter? What about the fallibility of your tens of thousands of Protestant denominations all contradicting each other constantly? Also, you're talking about Peter before the resurrection, and before receiving the Holy Spirit, and the divine commission. After pentecost, Jesus promised to guide the church into all truth. Not some truth, all truth. It's so funny that Protestants say don't listen to men just go by scripture, and then they listen to tens of thousands of contradictory men try to interpret scripture falsely. We will stick with the tradition and the authority of the church that has come down from Christ. Peter saying nothing about church Authority is an argument from silence. We answered why most things were not written down in Scripture in this video. Peter didn't need to say it since the New Testament does again and again and again. That's not a very good argument. You say nobody talked about church Authority and yet Christ talked about it a lot. In fact he said if you don't listen to the church Authority then you reject him and are not even a Christian. So yes, Jesus taught Church Authority many times, as did Matthew, Luke and others. Also we never said the scriptures don't have authority, they do. It's the Protestant denominations and man-made religions that don't have any authority.
Comments definitely answered the questions. 5:29 the question I would have for catholics would be how does one discern if said tradition is GODLY? 5:29 after you just explained he liked to teach by word, why would you assume the "church" has the traditions correct?
The Bible itself is tradition in written form. The word tradition simply means “handed down”. There’s zero wrong with traditions that do not go against God.
Protestants commit a fallacy: Jesus = highest Authority = Bible is the highest Authority. This is a fallacy of equivocation, stating The Bible = Jesus! Problem: Bible =/= a Person! Thus, sola scriptura falls apart. 😖
I made the cover for my personal Bible. I was inspired by Mother Angelica's and I wanted it to say "Word of God" on it so on the binding. It says "The Word of God (in writen form) est. AD 401"
Don't cast your pearls before swine. His heart is hardened over to the truth. The sad reality is that this man is leading many onto the broad road with his channel.
I Timothy 3:15 NKJV [15] but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. You are welcome.
Elders are men in the LDS Church. My friend Dave goes by Elder Dave and he is an LDS Bishop of his ward. He is a leader for sure like the host and CEO of Catholic Truck. For the record I am red letter. I only read Jesus so I know I’m doing things right. But I also believe that there are some nuggets of good truth from 3, 4 Nephi and Alma of the Book of Mormon.
Yeah Brian! This is a good one. I’m red letter but like to read some of the oldies Testament. A little Genesis, Moses, Abraham, Nephi, and Lehi are good for the soul. Jesus is real for me, so he is real for my friends Squirrel, Buck and Sammy. But you have a great apologist platform. Can you debate or interview a Maronite, Syriac, or Coptic Catholic?
Even in an earthly court of law, what is legally documented (written) carries much more weight than an oral testimony. It is the same in the Spirit realm: that which God has written carries more weight than an oral testimony. God gave us the best example when Jesus was confronted with the ruler of this world: Jesus declared three times to Satan, "It is written..."
What is written only as weight at all in as much as it's properly understood and properly interpreted. The Bible means nothing to anyone if it's not properly interpreted. Just ask Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses. That's why we need the tradition that we are told to keep in the Bible and the authority of the church that Christ gave himself. Jesus did say it is written, but Jesus also changed scripture and what was written by his own authority many times.
Prove our statement wrong. Again, according to Scripture, the Church had authority before the New Testament was even written. Also, the Catholic Church was started by Jesus, and there were over 30 popes before the 300s not to mention countless writings from Catholic. History is black and white on this.
I already did , the catholic church did not exist until around 312 AD , by that time all the apostles had died and Israel had been removed from their land
That was in the last video. And no one really answered the question. Everybody told us it doesn't matter it could mean both as if they were always synonymous which they aren't.
This is not the right question. The right question is this ''Can the Church say something contrary to the Bible?'' This is the right question and the one that proves Sola Scriptura, i.e. ONLY CHRIST, ONLY GRACE, ONLY BY THE GIFT OF FAITH.
It doesn't really prove anything. Unnatural follow-up question would be, which one of the 10s of 1000s of contradictory denominations has the right interpretation of Scripture? This disproves Scripture alone and shows the necessity of the Church Christ started. But no, no church can contradict scripture, yet every Protestant thinks every other Church contradict scripture except them. That's why we need scripture, tradition, and the authority of the church Christ started as we showed proof positive in this video.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial, not at all, dear friend. It absolutely proves the Sola Scriptura. It is another story which interpretation is right and which is wrong. For us, Lutherans, Rome's synergist theology is wrong, is not based on the Scriptures. So, Rome is not the true church. Rome, Constantinople and almost all of Protestantism is synergistic, directly or indirectly. And it is wrong. Remember that when you attack protestantism, you attack your own soteriology. In fact, they denied the truth, monergism as lutherans taught in their Augsburg Confession, and they returned to yours theology. I have a question for you ''How man is saved?''
ACTS 17:11 NOW THESE (BEREANS) WERE MORE NOBLE THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, WHO RECEIVED THE WORD WITH ALL EAGERNESS , DAILY SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES TO SEE WHETHER THESE THINGS (TEACHINGS OF THE APOSTLES) WERE TRUE.
Catholic truth - you are misrepresenting the concept of Sola scriptura. Sola scriptura doesn't mean 'the Bible ALONE'; it means the Bible takes PRECEDENCE. In other words the Bible trumps other teachings and traditions. With Sola scriptura it's okay to have various traditions, as long as they don't CONTRADICT the Scriptures. Following this principle of sola scriptura, the Protestant churches have made great doctrinal progress such as: 1. Salvation by faith alone, not works. 2. Rejection of icon veneration. 3. Rejection of supreme and infallible Papal authority. 4. Rejection of the veneration of saints. 5. Rejection (somewhat) of the doctrine of eternal conscious torment in Hell. 6. Rejection of the doctrine of torment in purgatory for believers. 7. Rejection of the sale of indulgences. 8. Rejection of clergy / laity dichotomy. 9. Rejection of priestly confession and exoneration. Although the Protestant churches don't fully agree on all these things yet, progress is being made by regarding Scripture as the final arbiter. The writings of the Prophets and Apostles is the only undeniable and irrefutable word of God to mankind.
You do realize that the revelations to various figures in the Old Testament happened before they were written down, right? So clearly there was another form of revelation other than written revelation.
Which one of the tens of thousands of Protestant denominations takes precedence? They all make themselves popes. They all contradict each other. Even on basic salvation matters. And also, you are ignoring the fact that Protestants disagree with each other on what the Bible alone means. Many Protestants argue that it does mean alone, but you argue that it means take precedence, so where does the bible allow and solve this issue for you all? Clearly you didn't watch the video. Because the Bible doesn't Trump tradition. Why because the Bible is tradition. Tradition is the full body of teaching in the full body of doctrine that Jesus and his Apostles gave to us. Some of that was written down. But it's all the same body of teaching. So one doesn't take precedence over the other since it's the same teaching. What tradition is the wider body of knowledge and helps us to properly interpret scripture. And the church takes precedence because the Bible is not self interpreting and needs an interpreter which is the church. Jesus gave his full divine authority to the church, as we showed in the video. So there's no record of the Apostles giving precedence to scripture alone. 1. Salvation by faith alone is unbiblical and contradicts scripture that you claim to follow (James 2:24) 2-4 is you reading your own theology in the scripture rather than what scripture actually says. Confession is biblical. Clergy is biblical. Purgatory is biblical. What's not biblical or all the Protestant doctrines play Faith alone, the Bible alone, denominations, private interpretation of scripture, the rapture, rejecting all of Paul's writings, only accepting Paul's writings, alter calls, Sinners prayers, millennialism, praise and worship bands, grape juice and crackers while we call it holy communion, and so much more time
I literally answered all the questions. All you are showing is that believers can be guided by the holy Spirit on matters of wisdom. Notice in none of your examples is the Catholic Church cited? Individuals were given understanding outside the church. Yes Jesus did many things that were not recorded. Mainly because the things he did were not required for salvation. The Bible is our guide to salvation and in that regard we are told it is complete. Yes you can preach things unrelated to salvation, but those things are not necessary for salvation, including the many traditions. I keep hearing this "ambiguous scripture" argument but there isn't anything in Scripture that is hard to understand. Complete means complete. Scripture is clear that it is only required to be complete. The Church assembled the Bible. God made it.
They’ll call the Catholic Church corrupt, but gladly use a Gregorian calendar (created by a Pope), and celebrate Easter on the date the Church sets every year 😅😅
Protestants don't listen , i have one protestant friend who failed to listen to me when she tried to convinved me that the pope legalized homosexuality. I didn't matter what i said she said no the Catholic hanges all the time. Imagine that coming from someone from a million denomination s 😂😂
@Forseen-vm1qs and then what happened? Do you monitor all lies your pastors say about the Catholic Church? Or you only come to Catholics channels? The Pope is human and we don't follow him and he never legalized it and that is the key word and no priest is going to bless their unions
@@DigitallySaved Hi, Saved. Yes, I can see that from your perspective Catholic's comparison would make no sense. But here we have a live instantiation of the fatal flaw with Sola Scriptura. The flaw is that Sola Scriptura is not in fact Sola Scriptura. Instead Sola Scriptura is the conscious rejection of a teaching authority which is competent to bind consciences. What this means is that when inevitable disagreements arise, they have no mechanism for resolution, if persuasion proves ineffective. Scripture is a collection of ink on paper between protective covers, and cannot do more than rest available for people to engage with it. Scripture does not teach. Scripture does not rule. Scripture does not interpret. It is people who encounter what they understand to be the inspired authors' thoughts who teach, rule, and interpret. Their understanding will be more or less meaningful according to their individual qualities. At every step of the way we get further and further removed from Scripture, and even more from nothing other than Scripture. Catholicism recognises this when receiving the doctrine of current living human authority.
Which denoms interpretation is the correct one. When you say "we", what community are you specifically speaking of? Because they all believe and teach separate things or they are spiritual relativistic non denom communities.
Protestants have the Bible to correct each other too and yet they can't agree on what the Bible means, so how does that help you or anyone? Your Bible has not solved a single doctrinal issue between your Protestants and 500 years. Every one of your denominations and non-denominations are teaching heresy.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialworse still is that not only do the many Protestant denominations disagree with each other, but many people in just one denomination have different views on their faith. There is no uniform teaching in each Protestant denomination which is why I struggle as a Catholic to understand what they actually believe.
➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:... ➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ... ● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH. ● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter. ● 2 TIMOTHY 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast HEARD from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. ● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, ● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing. ● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you. ● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH. ● COR 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. ● HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 2 COR 5:20 says that God appointed men in the Church to represent Him. And, in HEB 13:17, God appointed men in the Church to have the rule over His Flock. ● JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. ● MATT 18:15-17 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing) ● JOHN 14:26-31 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have SAID unto you. (Spoken words...not in writing) (To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not presently known....not in writing) ● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. (The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.)
But since Jesus is no longer on earth and there are no longer Apostles alive, and the Bible is the “more sure word”, more sure than the experience Peter, James and John had on the Mount of Transfiguration, shouldn’t we use the the Bible as our sole authority for life and godliness since the Apostles have already laid the foundation and Christ being the cornerstone of that foundation? Read Hebrews 1:1 and 2 Peter 1. And since God, in His word, would not contradict Himself, while man-made traditions and beliefs change, shouldn’t we stick with His written word rather than traditions? I would also remind you the story Jesus gave in Luke 16 about Lazarus and the rich man. When the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to his brothers to warn them, Abraham answered, “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets (ie the Scripture), neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’” Luke 16:31. Likewise, Paul warned in Galatians 1:8-9 that if anyone, even an angel from heaven, teaches anything other than what he has taught (which we now have inscripturated in the Bible), that person or angel is to be accursed. And finally, Revelations 22:18-19 warns us about adding or taking away anything in the book of prophecy (the book of Revelations and could also be applied to the whole Bible). Note in church history how many Popes contradicted other Popes, how many were martyred because they spoke against the church or went against the edict of the church to make the Bible available to the common people. If not for the Reformation, we would all be ignorant of what’s in the Bible because the church did not want the Bible translated from Latin. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Let us not trust our own inclinations. Let us trust His word instead when properly interpreted using correct hermeneutics.
That's a cop-out comment for not being able to deal with the points we made in the video. Jesus called people out to. And he said he came to create division.
lol 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. by trying to lift up catholicism and put down protestant is not love at all
I answered your questions and didn’t use the same two “canned arguments” You just conveniently avoided my comment and didn’t answer so I’ll repeat my comment. Catholics and Protestants both agree the scripture is the infallible. The question is then this? Does Tradition have the same level of infallibility and the magisterium have the same level of infallibility? I argued no because Paul warns against being led astray by human tradition therefore traditions must be judged by what was given by the apostles (Scripture). Scripture also warns against false teachers coming in among the church. Church history shows this clearly. Therefore the magisterium must also be judged by what was handed down by the apostles (scripture). If scripture warns against blindly following traditions and certain teachers then they must not be seen as equal to Scripture but being judged by it. Therefore Scripture should be held as the highest authority especially since the Catholic Church teaches that public revelation ended with the apostles. Protestants don’t reject tradition and governing authorities of the church as your arguments suggest we just don’t hold them as infallible which is the true basis of this argument. For someone who holds to Catholic teaching and belief in the infallibility of Scripture you do a lot of work to diminish it in order to lift up your other views
The problem for you is that you have to prove it from the Bible. Protestantism is full of tens of thousands of human Traditions all going by the Bible and all making up their own Traditions based on their own personal interpretations. The whole argument is self-defeating. Also, you mentioned human Traditions not godly traditions read the Bible tells us to keep. Scripture is only as good as its interpretation. That's why we need the church Christ gave his Divine authority to to help us interpret scripture properly. The majority of Protestants do reject tradition and governing authority. It's good that not all Protestants go that far. Yet you have to prove from scripture alone that scripture is the only infallible Authority which no Protestant has ever done because it's not biblical. We also showed the necessity of the authority of the church and that scripture must be properly interpreted by the church. You did exactly what we said Protestants do in the video. They conflate two different things. Far as Aiko man-made traditions and then Godly traditions we are told to keep which are the Word of God. The Bible was made and canonized according to tradition. You wouldn't even know what the Bible was if it wasn't for tradition.
We didn't disable anything. If it's not enabled, that wasn't from us. Thumbing people down rather than being able to write factual rebuttals isn't much different, isn't it? ;)
God is not a book (as Islam also claims)! No, God is 1 in 3 Persons! This is how the Seraphim of Isaiah 6 v *1 to 3* and the glorious beings in his kingdom acclaim him! but it is not they who reveal the identity of God, *it is the role of his Son Jesus Christ in Matthew 28v19* and this is normal because Jesus Christ is before the Seraphim and these glorious beings, so they keep their ranks by recognizing that they were created and therefore inferior to Jesus.
The final authority is the Sacred Authority granted by the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church, which is the church Jesus started. Matthew 18:15-18 is the passage that made me realize the final authority lies within the church Jesus founded and I needed to learn which church that actually is
@ did you even read what I wrote? Where in that one single sentence did I write that only the Catholic Church has the Holy Spirit? I wrote that the Sacred Authority of the Catholic Church was given to it by the Holy Spirit. Ironically you just proved how wrong bible alone belief is by misinterpreting my one single sentence. If you can misinterpret one sentence of a YT comment, how much more can you misinterpret the Bible, which has thousands of sentences?
@@LeftHandedLinkGaming quote " The final authority is the Sacred Authority granted by the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church, which is the church Jesus started. " Jesus did not start the catholic church , the catholic church started almost 300 years after the Christian church started by the Jewish apostles now if you said the catholic church began based on the teachings of Christ Jesus that would be more accurate
Jesus did start the Catholic church, and it goes back 2000 years. There were over 30 popes before the Earth 300, so your comment is based more on myth than history. Not to mention we have the writings of the earliest Christians for the first 300 years and they all claim to be Catholic.
To ALL bible alone believers: If you truly believe and obey the teaching of the Bible which you claim to be the highest authority, I am encouraging you to stop this false statement of yours or lie because IN TRUTH, the Bible is NOT the highest authority FOR YOU. The highest authority FOR YOU is YOU or YOUR PRIVATE PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the Sacred Scripture. If anyone opposes your personal interpretation of a bible passage, they are wrong for you and you are the only ones right. So what is the fruit of you being your own pope or the highest authority? The fruit is the bible alone church is so divided and chaotic because there is so much disagreement among you and many of you if not all condemn also your fellow bible alone believers if their interpretation is different from yours. Your church is NOT the description of the TRUE Church in the Bible.
The highest and final authority according to the Bible is the Church or the Pope with the Body of Bishops because Jesus gave them authority and they are the successors of Peter and other Apostles. The highest authority in the Church is the POPE.
There is no such scripture that says that any one particular person has ultimate authority over the body of Believers except Christ Christ said that he hates the teachings of the Nicolaitians , , as Jesus says he who exalts himself shall be humbled and he who humbles himself shall be exalted Catholics perpetually exalt them selves , they make the pope an idol , he is no one more special than anyone else , but catholics parade him around so people can reach out to touch him as if they will be healed if they do
@Forseen-vm1qs Then, you DON'T believe in the ENTIRE bible. If you believe only in some scriptures but reject other bible passages, you don't believe in the Bible AT ALL. You are cherry picker. Here are some bible passages that say that there is one person (Peter and his successor the Pope) who has the ultimate authority over the body of believers. Matthew 16:19, John 21:15-17 etc.
As a convert to the Catholic Church, it gives me such great comfort & assurance to know this, the church as the interpreter of sacred scripture, to have a solid guidance pertaining to those meanings. Likewise, knowing the importance of having an authoritative priesthood/teaching authority, having a priest to whom I can confess my sins, I feel a greater assurance that I am truly absolved. How wonderful that we have the Church as well as the Bible.

Even for Protestants, the Holy Bible isn’t the final authority because they make themselves their own Pope, their own Magisterium.
It becomes a game of what *they* want God to be saying through Sacred Scripture and what they want the Apostles saying, believing, understanding, and teaching.
100% true. Saturday, so many of them don't realize or see this.
@@batmaninc2793 , seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. I was once guilty of this too.
@@JayRedding12_12that’s why I like the Mormons. They have a living prophet that can declare new doctrine. His name is Russell Nelson- he just celebrated his 100th birthday.
100% prots is not only ambiguous they also hold to tradition their own tradition like the word alone. I guess protestantism is synonymous to 'alone'.
A sincere Protestant should not be referenced as one who is making a "game" out of this.
They try to use the Bible to prove Bible alone. It's hard to convince them that a book cannot be self authenticating. Great talk, Bryan!
Exactly. That's exactly what the Book of Mormon does. Is the only thing that authenticates itself which is circular reasoning
I once asked some on where is the Bible in the Bible? They said John 1:1 lmao 'In the beginning was the Bible, and the Bible was with God and the Bible was God'
The WORD in John 1 is not the bible , it is GOD , Christ was called LOGOS before he became flesh
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Exactly. Jesus is the Word.

Bible is not a toy that just give it to everyone or anyone to read it alone. We need a someone to guide us in proper understanding and how to interpret it correctly.. just like we reading a sophisticated medical terms or Constitution book.. those complexity, we need an expert doctor or a lawyer to guide us.. thats way God give us a magisterium to guide us correctly...

The answer is easy. The church tells us how to properly interpret scripture. Bible alone fails.
lol , no as that is why there are so many interpretations , learning it for yourself is what the LORD wants you to do , that is why he said , be not deceived for when the blind follow the blind guides they both fall into the ditch
If you know what scripture says and means , you won't allow anyone to deceive you by telling you things that are interpreted incorrectly
simple as if you know how to do math , when someone says 10 x 12 = 100 , you know that is the wrong answer 😇
This is a silly comment. If scripture was so easy to know what it meant, then there wouldn't be tens of thousands of contradictory denominations that all contradict each other on everything, even basic salvation matters. They all go by the same Bible and I'll have the same Holy Spirit and yet can't agree on what it means. Not to mention biblical Scholars who have been studying it their whole life say there are many confusing and difficult passages to interpret, and yet people like yourself just think it's so easy to 5 year olds can do it. But that's cuz they don't actually understand biblical interpretation and don't have a deep knowledge of it.
problem is people teach and interpret according to their own opinion , all one needs to do is learn what the words mean and how they apply , but lazy people wont , so it is easy to deceive those that wont , just like telling people that Peter was the first pope to the catholic church when Peter was never associated with catholic church ,
@Forseen-vm1qs Your argument holds no water. It's well documented before Nicea that Peter was the first Bishop of Rome ie Pope. That lie doesn't fly with me anymore.
Thanks a lot.
All will become Catholic in the end it’s the fullness of the truth 💕🙏💕

“Sunday is our mark of authority …. The church is above the Bible, and this transference of sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (The Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Sept. 1, 1923)
Without the WORD of GOD , the Holy Bible you have no authority
That's not true. The Catholic Church had authority long before the New Testament was even written.
Kelvin, that's false. Seventh Day Adventists have never looked up or fact checked the quotes they quote. The Church is the servant of the Bible and has the authority to translate it. The transference of the Sabbath was done in New Testament times by the Apostles and earliest Christians.

Why do you deny the truth the Catholic Church did not exist until nearly 300 years after the Peter was called the Rock
Prove our statement wrong. Again, according to Scripture, the Church had authority before the New Testament was even written. Also, the Catholic Church was started by Jesus, and there were over 30 popes before the 300s not to mention countless writings from Catholic. History is black and white on this.
Amen!
If the Bible alone were all we needed then there would not be 1000s of Protestant denominations (which can’t even agree amongst each other on “essentials”). Jesus said that Peter was the rock that he was building his Church on; He did not say that Peter was the rock he was writing his Bible on.
The final and highest authority for the bible alone believers is NOT the Bible but themselves or their private personal interpretation of the Bible. For them, you have to conform to their personal interpretation of the Bible for you to be right. If you don't adhere to their personal interpretation, you are wrong (for them). But oftentimes, these bible alone believers have also diferent interpretations of scriptures. So, which of them or their personal interpretation is right and to be followed when they have thousands and thousands of denominations? This is why many bible alone believers have decided to be alone in their church because they also find errors in the doctrine or interpretation of other bible alone churches. These bible alone believers who are alone in their church also interpret the Bible personally or by themselves because they find errors in every bible alone church. Their church and teaching is not the true Church and true teaching of the Bible.
Well said!
I really like John 5, 39 "you search the scriptures because you think you have eternal life through them, even they testify on my behalf, but you do not want to come to me to have life". Reading about someone is not the same as being with someone.
Can someone who believes in Sola Scriptura tell me how we know who wrote the books of the NT? Such as any of the Gospels?
it is called forensic level investigative research , not many do that these days , they just want to ask someone to give them the answer so they don't have to

Do you believe in Sola Scriptura?
I wonder why protestants are always on Catholic channels and not on their million denominations.
Like an ex who broke up with you, but who wouldn't stop talking about you
did you look at the titles of his videos ? 😁
“Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”
Matthew 16:22-23
😂
🤷♂️🤷♂️ Where did Jesus revoke his call? We didn't see any such thing in this passage. In fact, he confirmed it later on. Luke 22:24-32, John 21:1-17.
Also, your comment has nothing to do with the video whatsoever.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial I think you missed the point entirely Bryan. Jesus was not revoking Peter's role as shepherd over the house of Israel here at all, nor was this my point at all. This passage goes to show the fallibility of an apostle can happen at any time, whereas scripture is without error. This is why Peter reminded his readers he did not privately interpret his revelation of prophecy from the Holy Spirit, so they can trust the prophecy.
19 So we have the prophetic WORD MADE MORE SURE, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
Peter said nothing about "church authority" goes above Gods inspired word, nor did Paul, Jesus, James, John etc. ever say such a thing. Nor did they say anything about authority goes over the movement of writing by the Holy Spirit as they were moved. They never showed this in practice either. Do you realize you are making a positive claim, without backing it up?
Just because people have a difficult time, obtaining the authors intent of the scriptures, does not mean the scriptures no longer has authority. You have a rich history of superimposing into the text what is not there and did it again with his video and your comment. This reflects your fallen nature, which we are all struggling with, not just you.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial You missed the point entirely Bryan. Peter demonstrated fallibility, and Jesus rebuked Peter. This goes to show the church does not have higher authority than Gods word. Your theology is based on imagination at best. Peter even stated how he did not privately interpret prophetic revelation from God.

You completely missed what is going on here based on your theology Bryan. Peter submitted to the movement by the Holy Spirit, and was NOT made based on human will. This goes to show the Holy Spirit has higher authority than the fallible apostles. What made them apostles to begin with, is they shared the divine revelation they received, but without private interpretation which made the prophecy of scripture MORE SURE.'
There is nothing backing up your imagination Bryan, that the church has higher authority than Gods Word. That is like claiming we are as infallible as the Holy Spirit, which is blasphemy.
You're talking about the fallibility of Peter? What about the fallibility of your tens of thousands of Protestant denominations all contradicting each other constantly?
Also, you're talking about Peter before the resurrection, and before receiving the Holy Spirit, and the divine commission. After pentecost, Jesus promised to guide the church into all truth. Not some truth, all truth.
It's so funny that Protestants say don't listen to men just go by scripture, and then they listen to tens of thousands of contradictory men try to interpret scripture falsely. We will stick with the tradition and the authority of the church that has come down from Christ.
Peter saying nothing about church Authority is an argument from silence. We answered why most things were not written down in Scripture in this video. Peter didn't need to say it since the New Testament does again and again and again. That's not a very good argument.
You say nobody talked about church Authority and yet Christ talked about it a lot. In fact he said if you don't listen to the church Authority then you reject him and are not even a Christian. So yes, Jesus taught Church Authority many times, as did Matthew, Luke and others.
Also we never said the scriptures don't have authority, they do. It's the Protestant denominations and man-made religions that don't have any authority.
Comments definitely answered the questions.
5:29 the question I would have for catholics would be how does one discern if said tradition is GODLY?
5:29 after you just explained he liked to teach by word, why would you assume the "church" has the traditions correct?
The Bible itself is tradition in written form. The word tradition simply means “handed down”. There’s zero wrong with traditions that do not go against God.
Protestants commit a fallacy: Jesus = highest Authority = Bible is the highest Authority. This is a fallacy of equivocation, stating The Bible = Jesus! Problem: Bible =/= a Person! Thus, sola scriptura falls apart. 😖
I made the cover for my personal Bible. I was inspired by Mother Angelica's and I wanted it to say "Word of God" on it so on the binding. It says "The Word of God (in writen form) est. AD 401"

How do the blind or deaf learn the way?

Elders are men in the LDS Church. My friend Dave goes by Elder Dave and he is an LDS Bishop of his ward. He is a leader for sure like the host and CEO of Catholic Truck.
For the record I am red letter. I only read Jesus so I know I’m doing things right. But I also believe that there are some nuggets of good truth from 3, 4 Nephi and Alma of the Book of Mormon.
Yeah Brian! This is a good one. I’m red letter but like to read some of the oldies Testament. A little Genesis, Moses, Abraham, Nephi, and Lehi are good for the soul. Jesus is real for me, so he is real for my friends Squirrel, Buck and Sammy. But you have a great apologist platform. Can you debate or interview a Maronite, Syriac, or Coptic Catholic?
Even in an earthly court of law, what is legally documented (written) carries much more weight than an oral testimony. It is the same in the Spirit realm: that which God has written carries more weight than an oral testimony. God gave us the best example when Jesus was confronted with the ruler of this world: Jesus declared three times to Satan, "It is written..."
What is written only as weight at all in as much as it's properly understood and properly interpreted. The Bible means nothing to anyone if it's not properly interpreted. Just ask Mormons and Jehovah's witnesses. That's why we need the tradition that we are told to keep in the Bible and the authority of the church that Christ gave himself.
Jesus did say it is written, but Jesus also changed scripture and what was written by his own authority many times.

I already did , the catholic church did not exist until around 312 AD , by that time all the apostles had died and Israel had been removed from their land
The Same GOD that sent the OT prophets and all the OT books existed thousands of years before is Christ
Litterally neither of those were the answers given. One of those was in fact, the question asked. Does it mean “God breathed”
That was in the last video. And no one really answered the question. Everybody told us it doesn't matter it could mean both as if they were always synonymous which they aren't.
This video destroys sola scriptura because Oral tradition came first than written
It became the written Word of scripture
This is not the right question. The right question is this ''Can the Church say something contrary to the Bible?'' This is the right question and the one that proves Sola Scriptura, i.e. ONLY CHRIST, ONLY GRACE, ONLY BY THE GIFT OF FAITH.
It doesn't really prove anything. Unnatural follow-up question would be, which one of the 10s of 1000s of contradictory denominations has the right interpretation of Scripture? This disproves Scripture alone and shows the necessity of the Church Christ started. But no, no church can contradict scripture, yet every Protestant thinks every other Church contradict scripture except them. That's why we need scripture, tradition, and the authority of the church Christ started as we showed proof positive in this video.
@@CatholicTruthOfficial, not at all, dear friend. It absolutely proves the Sola Scriptura. It is another story which interpretation is right and which is wrong. For us, Lutherans, Rome's synergist theology is wrong, is not based on the Scriptures. So, Rome is not the true church. Rome, Constantinople and almost all of Protestantism is synergistic, directly or indirectly. And it is wrong. Remember that when you attack protestantism, you attack your own soteriology. In fact, they denied the truth, monergism as lutherans taught in their Augsburg Confession, and they returned to yours theology. I have a question for you ''How man is saved?''
ACTS 17:11 NOW THESE (BEREANS) WERE MORE NOBLE THAN THOSE IN THESSALONICA, WHO RECEIVED THE WORD WITH ALL EAGERNESS , DAILY SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES TO SEE WHETHER THESE THINGS (TEACHINGS OF THE APOSTLES) WERE TRUE.
Catholic truth - you are misrepresenting the concept of Sola scriptura. Sola scriptura doesn't mean 'the Bible ALONE'; it means the Bible takes PRECEDENCE. In other words the Bible trumps other teachings and traditions. With Sola scriptura it's okay to have various traditions, as long as they don't CONTRADICT the Scriptures.
Following this principle of sola scriptura, the Protestant churches have made great doctrinal progress such as:
1. Salvation by faith alone, not works.
2. Rejection of icon veneration.
3. Rejection of supreme and infallible Papal authority.
4. Rejection of the veneration of saints.
5. Rejection (somewhat) of the doctrine of eternal conscious torment in Hell.
6. Rejection of the doctrine of torment in purgatory for believers.
7. Rejection of the sale of indulgences.
8. Rejection of clergy / laity dichotomy.
9. Rejection of priestly confession and exoneration.
Although the Protestant churches don't fully agree on all these things yet, progress is being made by regarding Scripture as the final arbiter. The writings of the Prophets and Apostles is the only undeniable and irrefutable word of God to mankind.
You do realize that the revelations to various figures in the Old Testament happened before they were written down, right? So clearly there was another form of revelation other than written revelation.
Which one of the tens of thousands of Protestant denominations takes precedence? They all make themselves popes. They all contradict each other. Even on basic salvation matters.
And also, you are ignoring the fact that Protestants disagree with each other on what the Bible alone means. Many Protestants argue that it does mean alone, but you argue that it means take precedence, so where does the bible allow and solve this issue for you all?
Clearly you didn't watch the video. Because the Bible doesn't Trump tradition. Why because the Bible is tradition. Tradition is the full body of teaching in the full body of doctrine that Jesus and his Apostles gave to us. Some of that was written down. But it's all the same body of teaching. So one doesn't take precedence over the other since it's the same teaching. What tradition is the wider body of knowledge and helps us to properly interpret scripture. And the church takes precedence because the Bible is not self interpreting and needs an interpreter which is the church. Jesus gave his full divine authority to the church, as we showed in the video. So there's no record of the Apostles giving precedence to scripture alone.
1. Salvation by faith alone is unbiblical and contradicts scripture that you claim to follow (James 2:24)
2-4 is you reading your own theology in the scripture rather than what scripture actually says.
Confession is biblical. Clergy is biblical. Purgatory is biblical. What's not biblical or all the Protestant doctrines play Faith alone, the Bible alone, denominations, private interpretation of scripture, the rapture, rejecting all of Paul's writings, only accepting Paul's writings, alter calls, Sinners prayers, millennialism, praise and worship bands, grape juice and crackers while we call it holy communion, and so much more time
I literally answered all the questions.
All you are showing is that believers can be guided by the holy Spirit on matters of wisdom. Notice in none of your examples is the Catholic Church cited? Individuals were given understanding outside the church.
Yes Jesus did many things that were not recorded. Mainly because the things he did were not required for salvation. The Bible is our guide to salvation and in that regard we are told it is complete.
Yes you can preach things unrelated to salvation, but those things are not necessary for salvation, including the many traditions.
I keep hearing this "ambiguous scripture" argument but there isn't anything in Scripture that is hard to understand.
Complete means complete. Scripture is clear that it is only required to be complete.
The Church assembled the Bible. God made it.
They’ll call the Catholic Church corrupt, but gladly use a Gregorian calendar (created by a Pope), and celebrate Easter on the date the Church sets every year 😅😅
Protestants don't listen , i have one protestant friend who failed to listen to me when she tried to convinved me that the pope legalized homosexuality. I didn't matter what i said she said no the Catholic hanges all the time.
Imagine that coming from someone from a million denomination s 😂😂
Literally. So many of them don't care about truth and are not open to the Spirit of truth. Pray for them.
pope did not legalize homosexuality but he did go on record that he blesses same sex marriages , a fine line there , a slippery slope
@Forseen-vm1qs and then what happened? Do you monitor all lies your pastors say about the Catholic Church? Or you only come to Catholics channels?
The Pope is human and we don't follow him and he never legalized it and that is the key word and no priest is going to bless their unions
Papal infallibility > Sola scriptura
Huh?
That makes absolutely no sense
Greater than > Less than<
Papal infallibility is _greater than_ Sola Scriptura
@@DigitallySaved Hi, Saved.
Yes, I can see that from your perspective Catholic's comparison would make no sense. But here we have a live instantiation of the fatal flaw with Sola Scriptura. The flaw is that Sola Scriptura is not in fact Sola Scriptura. Instead Sola Scriptura is the conscious rejection of a teaching authority which is competent to bind consciences. What this means is that when inevitable disagreements arise, they have no mechanism for resolution, if persuasion proves ineffective. Scripture is a collection of ink on paper between protective covers, and cannot do more than rest available for people to engage with it. Scripture does not teach. Scripture does not rule. Scripture does not interpret. It is people who encounter what they understand to be the inspired authors' thoughts who teach, rule, and interpret. Their understanding will be more or less meaningful according to their individual qualities. At every step of the way we get further and further removed from Scripture, and even more from nothing other than Scripture. Catholicism recognises this when receiving the doctrine of current living human authority.
2:04 fine ill go watch the other one
Your pope is is teaching heresy. We have the Bible to correct / protect from heresies; you're teaching.
Which denoms interpretation is the correct one. When you say "we", what community are you specifically speaking of? Because they all believe and teach separate things or they are spiritual relativistic non denom communities.
Protestants have the Bible to correct each other too and yet they can't agree on what the Bible means, so how does that help you or anyone? Your Bible has not solved a single doctrinal issue between your Protestants and 500 years. Every one of your denominations and non-denominations are teaching heresy.
@@CatholicTruthOfficialworse still is that not only do the many Protestant denominations disagree with each other, but many people in just one denomination have different views on their faith. There is no uniform teaching in each Protestant denomination which is why I struggle as a Catholic to understand what they actually believe.
Who is your leader? Tell us?

➔ The entire foundation of Protestantism is false:...
➔The Bible ITSELF Contradicts Luther's doctrine of "scripture alone" (solascriptura) The Bible tells us that the authority is THE CHURCH: ...
● 1 TIMOTHY 3:15 The pillar & foundation of TRUTH is the CHURCH.
● 2 THESS 2:15 We are to hold fast to the TRADITIONS we have been given, either by WORD OF MOUTH or by the letter.
● 2 TIMOTHY 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast HEARD from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
● EPHESIANS 3:10 10 His intent was that now, THROUGH THE CHURCH, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
● JOHN 21:25 Jesus said & did Many other things that are too numerous to be recorded in writing.
● 1 COR 11:2 I commend you because you remember me in everything, and maintain the TRADITIONS even as I have delivered them to you.
● HEB 13:17 Obey the eldars in the CHURCH.
● COR 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
● HEBREWS 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
2 COR 5:20 says that God appointed men in the Church to represent Him. And, in HEB 13:17, God appointed men in the Church to have the rule over His Flock.
● JOHN 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
● MATT 18:15-17
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto THE CHURCH: but IF HE NEGLECTS TO HEARTHE CHURCH let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
The True Church is a TEACHING Church: (to Teach means to impart knowledge that is not presently know....not in writing)
● JOHN 14:26-31
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have SAID unto you. (Spoken words...not in writing)
(To TEACH is to impart knowledge that is not presently known....not in writing)
● ACTS 8:31: And he said, HOW CAN I, (understand scripture) EXCEPT SOMEONE SHOULD GUIDE ME? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
(The scriptures are not for individual interpretation. They need the guidance of the CHURCH. It is PROTESTANTS who are following the doctrines of a man.)
But since Jesus is no longer on earth and there are no longer Apostles alive, and the Bible is the “more sure word”, more sure than the experience Peter, James and John had on the Mount of Transfiguration, shouldn’t we use the the Bible as our sole authority
for life and godliness since the Apostles have already laid the foundation and Christ being the cornerstone of that foundation? Read Hebrews 1:1 and 2 Peter 1. And since God, in His word, would not contradict Himself, while man-made traditions and beliefs change, shouldn’t we stick with His written word rather than traditions? I would also remind you the story Jesus gave in Luke 16 about Lazarus and the rich man. When the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to his brothers to warn them, Abraham answered, “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets (ie the Scripture), neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
Luke 16:31. Likewise, Paul warned in Galatians 1:8-9 that if anyone, even an angel from heaven, teaches anything other than what he has taught (which we now have inscripturated in the Bible), that person or angel is to be accursed. And finally, Revelations 22:18-19 warns us about adding or taking away anything in the book of prophecy (the book of Revelations and could also be applied to the whole Bible). Note in church history how many Popes contradicted other Popes, how many were martyred because they spoke against the church or went against the edict of the church to make the Bible available to the common people. If not for the Reformation, we would all be ignorant of what’s in the Bible because the church did not want the Bible translated from Latin. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Let us not trust our own inclinations. Let us trust His word instead when properly interpreted using correct hermeneutics.
You desire to create division by creating the " us verses them " narrative
That is not of the Holy Spirit
That's a cop-out comment for not being able to deal with the points we made in the video. Jesus called people out to. And he said he came to create division.

I answered your questions and didn’t use the same two “canned arguments”
You just conveniently avoided my comment and didn’t answer so I’ll repeat my comment. Catholics and Protestants both agree the scripture is the infallible.
The question is then this? Does Tradition have the same level of infallibility and the magisterium have the same level of infallibility?
I argued no because Paul warns against being led astray by human tradition therefore traditions must be judged by what was given by the apostles (Scripture).
Scripture also warns against false teachers coming in among the church. Church history shows this clearly. Therefore the magisterium must also be judged by what was handed down by the apostles (scripture).
If scripture warns against blindly following traditions and certain teachers then they must not be seen as equal to Scripture but being judged by it. Therefore Scripture should be held as the highest authority especially since the Catholic Church teaches that public revelation ended with the apostles.
Protestants don’t reject tradition and governing authorities of the church as your arguments suggest we just don’t hold them as infallible which is the true basis of this argument.
For someone who holds to Catholic teaching and belief in the infallibility of Scripture you do a lot of work to diminish it in order to lift up your other views
The problem for you is that you have to prove it from the Bible. Protestantism is full of tens of thousands of human Traditions all going by the Bible and all making up their own Traditions based on their own personal interpretations. The whole argument is self-defeating.
Also, you mentioned human Traditions not godly traditions read the Bible tells us to keep. Scripture is only as good as its interpretation. That's why we need the church Christ gave his Divine authority to to help us interpret scripture properly.
The majority of Protestants do reject tradition and governing authority. It's good that not all Protestants go that far. Yet you have to prove from scripture alone that scripture is the only infallible Authority which no Protestant has ever done because it's not biblical. We also showed the necessity of the authority of the church and that scripture must be properly interpreted by the church.
You did exactly what we said Protestants do in the video. They conflate two different things. Far as Aiko man-made traditions and then Godly traditions we are told to keep which are the Word of God. The Bible was made and canonized according to tradition. You wouldn't even know what the Bible was if it wasn't for tradition.
I see the disabled the down thumbs down button.
Clearly you don't promote transparency but you do promote censorship.
We didn't disable anything. If it's not enabled, that wasn't from us. Thumbing people down rather than being able to write factual rebuttals isn't much different, isn't it? ;)
We don't promote censorship at all hence why we allow your comments.
Actually, it was TH-cam that did that. They didn't want anybody to be offended.
Exactly.
God is not a book (as Islam also claims)! No, God is 1 in 3 Persons! This is how the Seraphim of Isaiah 6 v *1 to 3* and the glorious beings in his kingdom acclaim him! but it is not they who reveal the identity of God, *it is the role of his Son Jesus Christ in Matthew 28v19* and this is normal because Jesus Christ is before the Seraphim and these glorious beings, so they keep their ranks by recognizing that they were created and therefore inferior to Jesus.
Lol
Lolol
The final authority is the Sacred Authority granted by the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church, which is the church Jesus started. Matthew 18:15-18 is the passage that made me realize the final authority lies within the church Jesus founded and I needed to learn which church that actually is
To say the Holy Spirit is only given to the catholic church is 100% false , it is given to anyone that accepts Christ as LORD and Savoir
@ did you even read what I wrote? Where in that one single sentence did I write that only the Catholic Church has the Holy Spirit? I wrote that the Sacred Authority of the Catholic Church was given to it by the Holy Spirit. Ironically you just proved how wrong bible alone belief is by misinterpreting my one single sentence. If you can misinterpret one sentence of a YT comment, how much more can you misinterpret the Bible, which has thousands of sentences?
@@LeftHandedLinkGaming quote " The final authority is the Sacred Authority granted by the Holy Spirit to the Catholic Church, which is the church Jesus started. "
Jesus did not start the catholic church , the catholic church started almost 300 years after the Christian church started by the Jewish apostles
now if you said the catholic church began based on the teachings of Christ Jesus that would be more accurate
Jesus did start the Catholic church, and it goes back 2000 years. There were over 30 popes before the Earth 300, so your comment is based more on myth than history. Not to mention we have the writings of the earliest Christians for the first 300 years and they all claim to be Catholic.
Not , cannot be , prove the date when catholic church started , it is past the year 300
To ALL bible alone believers:
If you truly believe and obey the teaching of the Bible which you claim to be the highest authority, I am encouraging you to stop this false statement of yours or lie because IN TRUTH, the Bible is NOT the highest authority FOR YOU. The highest authority FOR YOU is YOU or YOUR PRIVATE PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the Sacred Scripture. If anyone opposes your personal interpretation of a bible passage, they are wrong for you and you are the only ones right. So what is the fruit of you being your own pope or the highest authority? The fruit is the bible alone church is so divided and chaotic because there is so much disagreement among you and many of you if not all condemn also your fellow bible alone believers if their interpretation is different from yours. Your church is NOT the description of the TRUE Church in the Bible.
The highest and final authority according to the Bible is the Church or the Pope with the Body of Bishops because Jesus gave them authority and they are the successors of Peter and other Apostles. The highest authority in the Church is the POPE.

Enigma, nice response. Deep. 👏👏
There is no such scripture that says that any one particular person has ultimate authority over the body of Believers except Christ
Christ said that he hates the teachings of the Nicolaitians , , as Jesus says he who exalts himself shall be humbled and he who humbles himself shall be exalted
Catholics perpetually exalt them selves ,
they make the pope an idol , he is no one more special than anyone else ,
but catholics parade him around so people can reach out to touch him as if they will be healed if they do
@Forseen-vm1qs Then, you DON'T believe in the ENTIRE bible. If you believe only in some scriptures but reject other bible passages, you don't believe in the Bible AT ALL. You are cherry picker. Here are some bible passages that say that there is one person (Peter and his successor the Pope) who has the ultimate authority over the body of believers. Matthew 16:19, John 21:15-17 etc.
