My parents and I left the Catholic Church nearly 40 years ago. We have attended a Protestant Church ever since. We have had nothing to do with Catholicism. I was child, so I knew even less than my parents did. I don’t remember anything about going to the Catholic Church other than it was cold, depressing, and if I turned to look over my shoulder, I got yelled at by a mean old nun. This information he is talking about blows my mind. It makes sad for Catholics.
Catholics go to give. It's not about getting. ( At least not suppose to be). There is nothing wrong with obedience and discipline. One of the most controlling churches I have ever attended was a bible non denominational church. I was shocked how the congregation treated the pastor as God. Threat of hell. It's sad when someone has a negative experience when attending church. It's found across the board....
@@marycovington980Talk sense it is the same Church that wrote the bible gave it to the world and preserved it until a lunatic came along in 1517 and started tearing sections out
@@mihaivesa7719That if you want to criticise Catholic doctrine and practice (which anyone is perfectly entitled to do) it’s more effective if you’re properly informed about what that doctrine and practice actually is.
If the Catholic church teaches that the Eucharist can forgive sins and it's an unbloody sacrifice, how do they reconcile it with Romans 9:22 "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin?"
@@electrical_cord I have a question. If the Eucharist is an unbloody sacrifice which the RC catechism says it is, then how do you reconcile that with Hebrews 9:22 "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin?
We are participating in the eternal bloody sacrifice of our lord, Jesus Christ. We don’t re-sacrifice him at every Mass. His sacrifice is eternal. In Revelation 5:6 we see the slain lamb-a sacrifice still being offered for the sins of mankind.
the Catholic Church does not teach the Eucharist can forgive ALL sins (only venial sins) that is another Gendron lie ... look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Glad Mike has not shut down comments on this video also which he has done since the you tube video "Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron " was released start at 8 minutes (to skip the long introduction) and as a Christian it will be an hour well spent ... Tim (ex Baptist) sets out clearly the Catholic position and refutes everything Mike says !! Mike just repeats what he said earlier and what the catholic church has been teaching for 2000 years " we can only be saved by Jesus Christ ....... " {at 38 minutes} as he could not respond to the scripture correction from Tim ) Then we find Mike was unable to stay after the break !! This is why he never debates live with Catholic apologists since !!
Tim Staples may have called himself an ex-Baptist but that means nothing if he was not a born again believer and follower of Jesus Christ. He is sadly a convert to false religion of Roman Catholicism. Mike Gendron has come to true biblical faith in Jesus Christ and became a born again follower of Jesus Christ. He realized that he couldn't throw pearl before swine and chose to not wast his time on pointlessness that Tim Staples was spewing at him
@@ericevearitt3317 So Tim Staples explained in detail to Mr Gendron why Catholicism is not contrary to the bible and Mr Gendron could not counter this (could not come back after the break ... Tim became born again in Catholic Baptism (John 3 etc)
Born again faith in Jesus Christ, not in fake religion such as Roman Catholicism. Tim Staples still has yet to be a born again believer and follower of Jesus Christ, not follower of the pope. So do you!!
We don’t have Christ dead on a cross. We have a living Church with Jesus Christ resurrected and alive. You are listening to b.s. from Protestantism which is a Frernasonic organization run by satanic Jews.
@@kkaren9866 how much do you read the Bible? I study daily, and have been for the past 8 years. Not counting church and four years of Christian school.
@richardclingempeel6111 I study everyday. You were taught prejudice sir. I have for over 15 yrs.You were taugh PROTESTant which is every other denomination you see the key word PROTEST. You reject sound doctrine and chase after people who tickle Your ears. You use Yourself as an authority. Illiterate.
The Unbloody sacrifice of that Nass is going on at every Mass at every moment in all the Tabernacles of the world. You're/We're still sinning. You don't even know the Bible. John 6. Transubstantiatian. Unless You eat the flesh of the son of Man and drink HIS Blood You have no life in You. JESUS meant this literally. We knew this because some followers said This teaching is too hard. JESUS didn't say Wait that's not what I meant. It states "They walked with HIM no more. That's how close a Catholic is to JESUS. JESUS is physically inside Us in Holy Communion. Look Up Transubstantiatian and Eucharistic Miracles. JESUS Is clea"Do this in Memory of ME ". There are Eucharistic Miracles that happened all around the world. Scientists did tests on it. All around the world the same blood type. All around the world its tissue from a stressed heart ❤️. JESUS literally gives Us His heart. Do Your research.
If I weren't Catholic, I'd look for the Church that the world despises, for the world despised Jesus, and he would be there. - Fulton Sheen😁😁 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world." Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism." "Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer. It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven. Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17) What I must do to be saved: *I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood). * I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21 * I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others. * I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others. * I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47. * I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23 * I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7. * I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30. * I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them. *I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14 *I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13. And ... ? What else must I do? Catechism #432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Baptism is always followed salvation in the Bible. Even Jesus said you must be born again and then get baptized. It’s your first step to obedience to the Lord and following him. But you don’t have to be baptized to go to heaven and salvation is the most important part. The sinner on the cross was saved and went to heaven and he was never baptized. Baptism does not save you! Accepting Jesus as your savior is the only answer and it is the blood of Jesus and his sacrifice that saves us and there is no other way to heaven! Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through him! It’s clear you don’t read your Bible because this is written all through the New Testament. Christ offers His salvation as a free gift (Romans 5:15; 6:23), that can only be received by faith, apart from any works or merit on our part (Ephesians 2:8-9). As the apostle Paul tells us, the gospel is “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). The same inspired author tells us, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
@@pamgreen7178 really where did Jesus say this nonsense Baptism is always followed salvation in the Bible. Even Jesus said you must be born again and then get baptized. Ill tell ya no Place😢😢
@@pamgreen7178 that can only be received by faith, apart from any works or merit on our part (Ephesians 2:8-9) your funny . For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:8-10) ... Now separate works of the law Mosaic Law Paul was speaking about circumcision's from Good Works charity which Paul calls charity love which is greater than faith And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2 (St Paul). What is charity other than helping the needy? Charity is clearly considered among good works. "And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Corinthians 13:13). This clearly puts charity BEFORE faith, so to say "faith alone" is all that is required of us is clearly contrary to Scripture. Rom 2:6-7 Here’s what Paul says: For he will render to every man according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. Then there's verse Titus 3:14, where Paul says, “Let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need.” You see a need, and in love you try to meet it-that's a good work. Good works are the overflow of love for Christ that meets the needs of others. This is exactly what Paul says in Titus 3:8: “The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.” By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness." (Rom 2: 5-8) Wherefore, brethren, labor the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election." 2 Peter 1:10😂😂 "
John 6:62-64 NKJV [62] What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? [63] It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. [64] But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. Flesh means NOTHING . Words of christ. Do you think it’s possible maybe he was trying to use loud hyperbolic language to lead the crowd from one literal to figurative to spiritual?
1:41 is t it interesting that the entire 6th chapter of John is dedicated to this point, and was written specifically to counter the docetist heresy which denied this teaching that broke off from John’s community.
For me, I will and continue to be in the True Church - It is Catholic Church, as Christ has passed His words in the Church to be preserved and spread to all human to the Church shepherded by Peter and his uninterrupted successors up to Pop Francis.
Hello Hebrews_7:25-28, Yes I am indeed saved NOW by Jesus Christ's finished work on the cross for salvation. I am very blessed and filled with Thanksgiving and gratitude that the LORD JESUS CHRIST is my GREAT HIGH PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEK (Hebrews 5:9-10; 6:19-20; 7:21)
Later for years to my old age years I was attacked by many demons that were very hard for me to fight !’ I have finally been delivered I am free by my lord ! But I still have to gaurd my self probably the rest of my life !!!! My family are Catholics !’ And they reject me !’
You have a guard the rest of your life ! Before Jesus left us and ascended into heaven , he said he will never leave or foresake us ! He sent us the comforter ,The Holy Spirit, Heb. 13:5 and 6 . Jesus is the Word of God ! Read all about him . He is in your heart and spirit /mind! Trust him always!
The irony of this confusing teaching is that even Paul (who didn't actually witness John 6) proclaims, that NO ONE should receive the eucharist in an unworthy manner. And, so there were absolute silence from these accusers....Bam!
If you read 1 Corinthians chapter 11 carefully, Paul was talking about observing communion in a respectful manner. After all, it is about what Jesus did for us on the cross. Paul said: "20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you." Now the word eucharist in not in Scripture, but Paul says in verse 27: "27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord." And so what are people consuming? Bread and the Cup (wine or juice). Not flesh and blood. And so what does communion symbolize? The body and blood of our Lord. There is nothing confusing about it if you read and accept Scripture at face value.
@@spacecoastz4026 I do appreciate your perspective. It however remains your perspective, despite the divine revelation adopted by the early church fathers, including, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, John and so many prior to their death. I would take your word for what its worth. Sadly, your word somehow conflicts with the teaching and understanding of the Apostolic succession instilled by Christ.
@@DavidLTJ And I don't believe that your assertions are correct. Paul, Peter, John, James, etc didn't say anything to that affect. In fact, the Gospel of John doesn't even cover the Last Supper. Also, Paul says (supposedly after consecration) that it is of bread and of the cup. See 1 Corinthians 11 verse 26: 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. Jesus has a physical glorified body..in Heaven. And eventually all those who are saved will too. But Jesus is not here....He said he is not here...but will return some day.
@@spacecoastz4026 The teaching of this scripture is difficult. The bread of life discourse begins in John 6:22, and the first point to address is the discussion of the heavenly bread. Jesus makes the point that as the Father sent manna from heaven for the physical nourishment of the Israelites, he has sent Jesus for the spiritual nourishment of the world. When Jesus announced this (6:41), the Jews murmured because he said that he had come down from heaven, not because he said that he was like bread. They understood his symbolic statement regarding the origin of the manna, and were scandalized by what it implied: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’” (6:42). Beginning in verse 43, Jesus replies to these objections. At the completion of his answer (6:51), he speaks of a bread that he is yet to give. The Jews’ understand that he is now speaking in a literal sense, and so they object, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So the Jews first objected because of what Jesus’ initial words meant symbolically, and now they object to what his second statement means literally. Had Jesus been speaking in a metaphorical sense here, this would be the perfect point to clarify his intentions. Matthew 16:5-12 is one such example where Jesus’ listeners thought that he was speaking in a literal sense, and he had to correct them. In this passage, Christ was warning the disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The disciples concluded that he was speaking of the bread they had forgotten to bring for their journey. In seeing their confusion, Jesus had to reiterate that he was not speaking literally of bread. Keeping this in mind, look how Jesus answers the Jews’ objections in John 6:53-58: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. . . . For my flesh is food indeed, and my flesh is drink indeed.” These words would hardly quell the Jew’s fear that Jesus spoke literally. Following this, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”(6:60). At this point, we witness the only place in Scripture where anyone leaves Jesus for a doctrinal reason. Had Jesus been speaking metaphorically, what would have been so hard for the disciples to accept? Paul understood this, hence his warning to fellow-Christians not to take this eucharist in a sinful state. I don't believe your understanding is aligned. But be that as it may, God bless!
@@DavidLTJ I don't have a problem w/ the real presence. However when the Lord's supper was specifically addressed by Paul, it wasn't whether a person was addressing the real presence or not. That could be implied by "not discerning the Lord's body", but Paul did not amplify that. Paul upbraided the church for sloppy practices over overindulging, drunkenness and not respecting the Lord's body.
Thank you Jesus for Your One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church I praise you for blessing us with the gift of Your Body Blood Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.
Mike: why not host a live podcast and take questions from Catholics! You should welcome ALL questions and not fear any question. First question is: are you fallible or infallible in your interpretation of scripture??
Well, he did say that he encourages everyone to test him using the Bible like the bereans did in Acts 17. So I think he'd say that he is certainly fallible. He might ask you in response if you are fallible in interpreting the magisterium of the church? Most people probably aren't as good at it as you might think. For example, a couple years ago pope Francis said that all the Catholics wrongly interpreted the magisterium when the CCC said that the death penalty was a good thing.
@@garryholcomb993 "test him using the Bible like the bereans did in Acts 17. " The BIBLE: THIS IS MY BODY Church of Gendron: No it is not The BIBLE: Baptism now saves you Church of Gendron: No it does not The BIBLE: Whole households were baptized, never an exception for an infant Church of Gendron: Delay baptism of infants until the age or reason The BIBLE; saved by a faith working in love Church of Gendron: saved by faith alone The BIBLE; teaches one can lose their salvation Church of Gendron: No it does not The BIBLE; the pillar and bulwark of the truth is the Church Church of Gendron: didn't exist for 2000 years The BIBLE; teaches that doctrine comes what was passed on both spoken and written Church of Gendron: No it does not (sola scriptura never taught in scripture anywhere) The Church of Mike has been tested and fails, repeatedly. He like Mormons and JWs has taken a Catholic book and has decapitated it from the very faith from which it came. This sola scriptura non sense has him arguing not only with Catholics, but before then, countless protestant denominations who test him too and say that he fails.
Are the magesterium fallible in their interpretation of Scripture? It just passes the job into the hands of another fallible person, in fact many fallible people
1:31 isn’t it interesting that the track record for what every branch of the Church with Apostolic foundation believes concerning the change in the substance of the Eucharist is consistent from Apostolic times to the writings of all the important figures in the ancient church, through medieval writers is consistent all the way to the 1500, and only cha fed after the Reformation with Protestantism, while every other branch of the Church that has apostolic foundation is consistent with the first 1500 years of it. .
Again Mike, the Transubstantiation is on (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) (John 6:53) (John 6:56) (Matthew 26:26) And Baptism is on (John 3:5) And Preists not marrying is on (1 Corinthians 7:32-35) Confesson is on (John 20:23) (1 John 1:9) Last rites is on (James 5:14-16)
You're missing the whole context of the whole Scripture. You're talking from the standpoint of a catholic, Mike from the stand point of a born again believer whose eyes were open by God the moment he came to faith in Jesus Christ.
Cat reacts, that which you wrote with extrapolated out of context Bible verses is traditional catholic teachings NOT eternal Biblical truth. I'd be very careful when trying to fit the Bible in man made doctrine.
Ok, I am 38 seconds into this video, and Mr. Gendron is already off to a painfully wrong start: 1.) The priest does not "sacrifice Jesus as a victim..." when consecrating the bread and wine: The priest *re-presents* Christ's death and resurrection for our salvation. By doing so, and as a Vicar of Christ in that moment, it is then Christ Himself who makes Himself present in the Eucharist -- body, blood, soul, and divinity. 2.) Yet another issue with semantics: The Eucharist does continue redemption as if it is a way for us be re-saved every Mass. We Catholic Christians have believed -- for 2000 years now -- that our salvation is justified through God's grace. Period. 3.) As for the Eucharist's meaning, we receive the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist while also acknowledging the grace we have *already* received. It is only when we fall out of grace that we must be restore this with God. We do that through the Sacrament of Reconciliation (going to Confession). All of this understanding is not only Biblical, it has 2000 years of a consistent Liturgy to back it up. Feel free to message me for what Catholic Christians actually believe, and not what Mr. Gendron, who appears to have been a poorly catechized Catholic, wants you to believe. It does not do any Christian any good to mispresent beliefs. After all, we all accept Christ as our Savior. It is more than time to separate fact from fiction and become more unified in how we discuss theological topics. Peace!

It's very sad that you were never born again to begin with but rely on false religion for salvation. If you'd open the Bible and let God open your eyes through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ according to Mark 1:15, you would see.

I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God. Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Vs 54, "Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day." Did He say to eat the symbol of His flesh? Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed." Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him." Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise? Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13. Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people. Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"? The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood. See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism. Is this what you think too? At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood. In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things. Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life." Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view? See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding. In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I. Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood. Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.😎😎
Well said. In John chapter 6, Peter replied Jesus, "to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life". Mike gave the impression that Peter did not agree with the literal understanding of Jesus' discourse that he is the bread sent down from heaven and that his followers are to eat him just like the Israelites ate manna in the dessert. Now, if Peter did not agree with it as a literal interpretation then he too agrees with the Jews who had left. But the fact is, that Peter did not leave because he still believed Jesus must meant something other than what the Jews understood. Peter knew the understanding of Jews was wrong. It is more than probable that Peter did not comprehend how Jesus will fulfill this teaching then but he believed Jesus' words are true and will be fulfilled when the right time comes. Mike's argument of what Jesus' followers were doing for about one and half years before the crucifixion? Were they gnawing Jesus' flesh? This reasoning reflects the dishonest mindset of Mike. It gives the impression that he is not interested in finding out the truth but is driven by the evil spirit to destroy the Catholic Church with false accusations. Mike propagates Sola scriptura. But he inserted words to the scripture. On the last supper Jesus took the bread and gave it to his disciples saying this is my body. But Mike says, this is symbolic representation of my body. Mike inserted the word symbolic to Jesus' words. He added words which made the sentence completely different and yet he claims his teachings are Sola scriptura. If he can tell lies and twist Jesus' words like this, is he even a Christian?
*Hard questions for Mike and Jane - if you want to Witness to Catholics, you need to:* - Show who in the first 1,500 years of Christianity interpreted scripture as you do, that the bread and wine in the bread of life discourse are symbolic or figurative only. - Explain how could Christendom have error'd so fast, so universally on this point? - Explain why one should follow the fallible gospel of Mike and not all of Christendom for those first 1,000 plus years? - Show who in those first 1,000+ years interpreted scripture as you do? Citations only please on every topic that you disagree with the Catholic Church. - Explain why one should not trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who said the Church is the Pillar of Truth, that the Church is the Bulwark of Truth, and that the Church is where the manifold wisdom of God is made known? - Explain how Jesus was undependable and that he lied when he said that he would lead his church to ALL truth? - Do you feel Jesus is not powerful enough nor faithful enough to mean what he said? - Admit that you are fallible - Admit that since you are fallible, you could be in error with your personal and fallible interpretation of scripture, and the Catholic Church right. - Explain how it is that you trust that your New Testament canon is right, when it was decided 100% by the 4th c Catholic Church, Catholic Bishops who would disagree with your interpretation of scripture repeatedly? - Explain how it is that you believe your Old Testament is right, when those 4th c Bishops said it was 46 writings? - How is it that you trust them to get the New Testament right, yet they error'd on the Old Testament - and they ALL celebrated the Mass which you reject? (note, there were no protestant churches at the time) So Jesus said to them, _“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him._ I'll trust the Word ... he's faithful .. and not the fallible gospel of Gendron.
Question for you. Years ago, I placed my faith in the blood that Jesus shed at the cross and have believed in Jesus according to Romans 3;25-26 and so now my Father in Heaven has declared me righteous. Why would I need to join a "Church" whose fathers teach me that even if I join this " Church" I can never know that I am saved from the wrath of God to come and then once I die I must go through who knows how years of Purgatory until all my sins are purged, and then I will finally experience Heaven forever? The gospel means "glad tidings/good news. This teaching of the Roman Catholic Church doesn't sound like good news to me.
@@markbennett7797 "Question for you." Hello Mark. Perhaps you too would answer the questions that I posed in my first post in this thread. "Why would I need to join a "Church" " Because Christ is it head now for 2,000 years, long, long before the Church of Gendron ever existed. The Church of Gendron has taken a Catholic book and has decapitated it from the faith from which it came. So too, the CoG even disagrees on how to interpret it with other protestants, which makes Jesus out to be undependable and a liar. Christ FAILED to lead his Church to ALL truth as he promised (Jn 16:13). Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses believe the same. There must have been a "great apostasy" right away and no one knew it, needing the CoG 200 years later to set things straight. That said, to have FAITH is to be FAITHFUL to all of what Christ commanded. When one reads the writings of this Church back in time, how scripture should be understood, one doesn't read many of the CoG beliefs. Not once, not anywhere in the world. So you join THE Church because of the truth it espouses, knowing Christ is its head, following him and the means he set up for salvation. "I can never know that I am saved from the wrath of God to come " You have infallible certitude that you are saved? Catholic's have exactly what scripture teaches, hopeful confidence, but not false assurance. "once I die I must go through who knows how years of Purgatory " A - When you die, you die in a state of sin and have an inclination to sin. B - Yet there is no sin in heaven and there is no inclination to sin. What do you call the process of the soul being transformed, from A to B ? There is indeed a process that soul - which does not die - goes through. Most protestants never, ever think about it as its too Catholic. Note, too, when we die, we are outside time and space we know it. Scripture, 1 Cor 3 is so very clear in alluding to purgatory. Those in hell can never be saved. Those in heaven can never suffer loss. It is speaking of another state of being after death. _For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble-each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire_ Nearly 1,800 years ago, St Cyprian comments on this passage (Does the Church of Gendron know scripture better than St Cyprian?? No way!!). _“For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace is given. Yet virginity is not therefore deficient in the Church, nor does the glorious design of continence languish through the sins of others. The Church, crowned with so many virgins, flourishes; and chastity and modesty preserve the tenor of their glory. Nor is the vigour of continence broken down because repentance and pardon are facilitated to the adulterer. It is one thing to stand for pardon, another thing to attain to glory: it is one thing, when cast into prison, not to go out thence until one has paid the uttermost farthing; another thing at once to receive the wages of faith and courage. It is one thing, tortured by long suffering for sins, to be cleansed and long purged by fire; another to have purged all sins by suffering. It is one thing, in fine, to be in suspense till the sentence of God at the day of judgment; another to be at once crowned by the Lord.”_ St. Cyprian, To Antonianus, Epistle 51 (55):20 (A.D. 253). St Cyril of Jerusalem too, before there was a bible as you have it today. _“Then we commemorate also those who have fallen asleep before us, first Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs, that at their prayers and intercessions God would receive our petition. Then on behalf also of the Holy Fathers and Bishops who have fallen asleep before us, and in a word of all who in past years have fallen asleep among us, believing that it will be a very great benefit to the souls, for whom the supplication is put up, while that holy and most awful sacrifice is set forth. And I wish to persuade you by an illustration. For I know that many say, what is a soul profited, which departs from this world either with sins, or without sins, if it be commemorated in the prayer? For if a king were to banish certain who had given him of-fence, and then those who belong to them should weave a crown and offer it to him on behalf of those under punishment, would he not grant a remission of their penalties? In the same way we, when we offer to Him our supplications for those who have fallen asleep, though they be sinners, weave no crown, but offer up Christ sacrificed for our sins, propitiating our merciful God for them as well as for ourselves.”_ Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures, 23:9,10 (c. A.D. 350).
@@TruthHasSpoken Before I give you an answer as to why I am confident that I am saved from the wrath to come. I need to establish two things with you. (1) Do you believe that all the words written in the New Testament, that contain the 4 Gospels as well as all the letters written by the apostles are infallible? (2) Do you believe that the Apostle Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and that the gospel that Paul preached and wrote about in his letters was the word of truth?
@@markbennett7797 1 - Properly speaking, scripture is both inspired and inerrant. Infallibility is a charism of the Church, to declare what is true (and false). 2 - yes. Aside from my first post questions, here are the questions that I asked above. Very simple questions below 1. You have infallible certitude that you are saved? YES OR NO 2. What do you call the process of the soul being transformed, from A to B ? A - When you die, you die in a state of sin and have an inclination to sin. B - Yet there is no sin in heaven and there is no inclination to sin.
@@TruthHasSpoken Hey TruthHasSpoken, To answer your first question which is "You have infallible certitude that you are saved? Yes or No My answer is Yes! I am confident that I am saved because I believe in the promises from my Father in Heaven that years ago after I heard the word of truth, the gospel of my salvation and then trusted in Jesus, I am saved from the wrath to come. Here are the promises that Paul wrote to believers in the Church in Ephesus once they trusted in Jesus Christ: Ephesians 1;3-13, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory" The Apostle Paul makes it very clear that once anyone who believes the word of truth, the gospel of their salvation and then trusts in Jesus Christ, that person is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. And the Holy Spirit is the earnest, which in Greek means guarantee of our inheritance until Christ returns for us who are His purchased possession. Please also note that Paul states in verse 11 that those who believe in Jesus Christ have already obtained an inheritance from God. Paul received the gospel that he should preach directly from Jesus as he states in Galatians 1;11-12, "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." I recently heard a Catholic apologist state that there is no clear description of the gospel any where the letters of the apostles. Yet, this statement is not true. The Apostle Paul when writing to the believers in Jesus in Rome, he states in Romans 1;15, "So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also." Paul then goes on to define very clearly the gospel of the grace of God in Romans 3;21-26, "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." Paul states in verse 22 that "the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe"
I am still trying to find something in Catholicism that is contrary to biblical teaching ... Again Mike, the Transubstantiation is on (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) (John 6:53) (John 6:56) (Matthew 26:26) (+ 10 others !!) And Baptism is on (John 3:5) (+6 others) And Priests not marrying is on (1 Corinthians 7:32-35) Confession is on (John 20:23) (1 John 1:9) Last rites is on (James 5:14-16)
@@saintejeannedarc9460 moSt of them come down to not believing in the fiction of bible alone. As Jesus said to Peter whatever you bind on earth will be considered bound in heaven whatever you loose on Earth will be considered loose in heaven You are probably also confusing “ pray” with worship. And any theologian will tell you careful reading of Maccabee’s would lead you to understand the need for purgatory in Gods plan
@@1234poppycat I don't think I'm confusing praying w/ worship. Praying is communication and supplication to God. Praise is songs, psalms, lifting up holy hands unto God. I see no Need for purgatory. It takes away from Christ's all sufficient sacrifice for our sins. Takes away from the grace by which we're saved. Leaves people in a state of fear and insecurity. It also claims that we need to pay for our own sins, when the Word seems crystal clear that Jesus paid for our sins, fully and completely.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 another Protestant catch phrase that in your mind is a criticism of catholoicum but is not. For two thousand years the Catholic Church has been preaching Christ s sacrifice was that we can be saved from our sins. He has done enough but he has told us how to lead a Christian life. It is no good to say I don’t need to bother with that cos Christs sacrifice was sufficient
@@1234poppycat It's not about a criticism of Catholicism, it's a defense of the sufficiency of Christ's atonement. I don't think this can be a fruitful conversion. You're playing Christian team sports, just looking to conquer the other side. You started out claiming your church was completely perfect, w/ no error in doctrine at all. Ok, so carry on.
Thank you Lord that Catholics recognize the false teacher who is full of hate and believes himself to be authority even though you never authorized him to speak for your church.
I thought this man was ex Catholic? He must never have been the Rosary is the Angel Gabriels announcement to the Virgin Mary in St Luke's Gospel so is the Magnificat in St Luke's Gospel. Martin Luther said beautiful words about Virgin Mary. Greeks and Orthodox and some Anglicans say the Salutation to Virgin Mary.
@TruthHasSpoken *1. Then isn't it the same? The question is: Is Roman religion fallible or infallible in it's interpretation of scripture??* *2. Scriptures is infallible. Two or more Scriptures saying the same teachings proves a doctrine.* you said First question is: are you fallible or infallible in your interpretation of scripture??
@@sudandhali7545 that’s the equivalent of saying don’t have elders. Read your Bible! The Church has elders, always has had elders if you actually read the Bible you’d know this.
Please don't twist. Give honour to the Lord, your God. You may make me a fool,but not God. Tell me the truth - did you ask forgiveness to Jesus Christ for your sin? If you try to give any crafty answer I would not respond any more.
It always amazes me how people ignore the teachings of the Apostles. Particularly John, who was at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified. Perhaps the people most in need of the truth are the 10,000 or 20,000 or now 40,000 Protestant denominations who continue to multiply each year based on their own interpretation of scripture.
The ones blind are the ones who depend on the 'church' and its faulty 7 sacraments for salvation included with the Cults and all other false religions in this world, Catholicism with keeping the Bible from people is no different.
Sacramentalism is a hollow catholic invention. Just ask one of your graven images, they are there to help you. If Mary will stop crying for a minute, you can ask her graven image.
When a person is saved, he/she is "born again". That is the acceptance of the Gospel message of Salvation, believing in Jesus as Savior, and receiving the Holy Spirit. We move from being lost to saved, from a person of the world to being a Child of God. This is the gift of Grace from God...total justification, total forgiveness, total righteousness by the imputation of Christ's righteousness. This is all Scriptural truth. What more could we receive?
Jesus came way after Moses and therefore wasn’t in the “Ten Commandments”. If you never picked up a Bible until you were 35 Mike, that just means you were lazy Catholic.
This man is lost and twists the teachings of the Catholic Church. If you want to understand Catholic teachings, ask someone who knows it. TH-cam; Scott Hahn how the Eucharist made him Catholic also; Brant Pitre The Jewish roots of the Eucharist
look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Mike has truly understood and has accepted through the new birth what John 8:31-32 and 36 says. Debates no longer impress him but presentation of biblical truth does. Paul warns in Titus 3:9-11 ~But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemning. You and Tim Staples need to be aware of what Paul said.

1:23 Jews did not use grape juice in offering the Passover. They used wine. No branch of Christianity with Apostolic foundation has ever used unfermented grape juice to offer the sacrifice of the Eucharist. Ever.
Neither Protestant or Catholic is correct. The true church is anyone that follows the Bible exactly. Going to this church or that church won't save you.
He told , You are not saved under the Law Jews had 613 laws they had to keep. We are told Keep My Commandments The Commandments are always referred by name The Commandments.
If you don't trust the Catholic Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible that She compiled and finalized by the Magisterium at the Council of Carthage under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the year 382 A.D., the one book you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to remove 7 of its books to justify your personal belief. Jesus established His One True Church with the Authority to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to distribute His Grace by way of the Sacraments, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). He promised that His Church would exist until the end of the world. (Mat. 16:18) Mike Gendron and his followers are calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, he mocks everything that the Universal Church is and does. To mock the Church is to mock Christ. He continues to ignore theological explanations of what and why the Catholic Church has taught, believed, and practiced for the past 2,000 years; so, there is no excuse for his heresies. Pray for Mike Gendron and his misled followers for their conversion back to the True Church.
You are correct that Protestants REMOVED books from the Bible. I went to Catholic Church for 3 months. I studied and studied. I concluded on my own: penance is unnecessary, a person's fate is decided the minute they pass on (no amount of praying or indulgences will affect it). I can not definitively conclude 100% there is a purgatory OR not. I read the Catechism, it stated tradition holds equal weight with Bible scripture. Some traditions are ok, but it's not equal to the Bible. I concluded different people interpret the Bible scriptures in different ways....therefore the thousands of denominations.
1) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must repent of your sins (Luke 5:32, 15:7; Acts 11:18)...yes or no? 2) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must confess your sins (1 John 1:9)...yes or no? 3) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must do the will of God (Matthew 7:21)...yes or no? 4) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must forgive others of their sins against you (Matthew 6:14-15)...yes or no? 5) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of man (John 6:53)...yes or no? 6) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must make an act of faith in God (Hebrews 11:6)...yes or no? 7) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must be holy (Hebrews 12:14)...yes or no? 8) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must keep the commandments (Matthew 19:16-17)...yes or no? 9) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must love God and love others (1 John 2:9-11; Matthew 22:37-40)...yes or no? 10) If there are no conditions for your salvation (according to the Word of This Clown), then is everyone saved...yes or no? If not, why not?

Let me get this straight, the doctrine of Purgatory was invented in 596, but the Catholics used the Septuagint (late 200s BC) as their Canon Old Testament because it contained proofs for Purgatory, and the Canon was established in AD 382. So did they make the Canon because of Purgatory, or was the idea of Purgatory invented 200 years later? It can't be both.
Confusion comes from the author of lies. Christ never mentioned it nor did scripture. The term is catholic and should not be used. We need stick with what we are given in His Holy word not given by the man/ the Vatican.
How do you know that it was the non-believers that left?? It does not say that they were non-believers. And it's Jesus really literally didn't mean that we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood, why didn't he call these people back and explain to them what he meant?? He just left them walk away... this has always puzzled me...
The clarity that Jesus Christ gave is found in John 6:35,40,47. And a summation of His bread of life discourse is given in John 6:63. Please read those passages Susie.
It's another Jesus not the Biblical Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ warned about that in Matthew 24 during His Olivet Discourse. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY A RELIGIOUSLY CREATED EUCHARISTIC CHRIST. ITS BEST TO STICK TO THE BIBLE!!!
Not true Mary Dolan, I'm actually NOT ignoring the Bible, I'm just simply affirming what it says in Matthew 24 to contrast the false Christ that's being taught in the catholic mass which is NOT THE SAME AS THE BIBLICAL CHRIST.
Catholics worship man and follow man's traditions and hold the pope equal to scripture. Bible says put no trust in man. You pray to Mary and to dead saints which is called necromancy and is forbidden in scripture. We have ONE mediator and intercessor and that is Jesus Christ not Mary or dead saints. We are able to go to the Father by ourselves through Jesus and not go through a priest. Only God forgives us of sins not man. Bible says call no man father but your heavenly Father. Catholics have changed the 10 commandments, they changed the 2nd commandment where it says thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,or that is in the water under the earth. Jesus said "IT IS FINISHED". You are saved by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast. Jesus is enough. I encourage you to actually open your Bible and read the entire word of God and not what the pope says or what your priest says but what does God say. It's about a relationship with Christ and not about religion, works and traditions of man. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save. Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Romans 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Isaiah 8:19 When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they CONSULT the DEAD on behalf of the living? Deuteronomy 18:10-12 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or ONE WHO CALLS UP THE DEAD. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will drive them out before you. Matthew 6:51-66 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the SPIRIT that QUICKENETH; the FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. 64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Mark 7:5-13 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Nothing original here , the True Church is the One Holy catholic and Apostolic Church , the Catholic Church. All others are an imitation and Johnny come lately Protestants version , too many to list and a new coming to the industrial park near by.
There is so much wrong with your caricature of the Church. The only thing I can do is call you out. I want a debate, I want it public, and I want to see how you really think, because this post stinks of copy and paste. I have had enough of you Evangelicals talking so arrogantly, with malice, and hatred towards the Church with blatant misconceptions and mischaracterizations. Let’s get this going, let’s see what your theology is made of. No more comments, I want a conversation.
look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !! What he says at 20 seconds is not what Catholicism teaches -- He twists it and breaks the word 1/ Eucharist does not forgive sins 2/ The Eucharist is part of the ONE sacrifice 3/ The Eucharist is called upon for us to do in 14 scripture passages John 6 is a good start ...........
Very well said, amazinggrace. It's very important to stick with SCRIPTURES ALONE, not to man made traditions such as doctrines of demons of the popes and bishops and priests. They're sinners like the rest of us. They need to repent of their sins and trust Jesus Christ alone as their LORD AND SAVIOR: NO SAINTS, NO MARY, NO ONE ELSE, BUT JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
Prime example of the blind leading the blind. Just because Mike is an ex-Catholic doesn’t mean he is an expert on it. In fact, he’s quite the opposite. I don’t know if he intentionally makes false claims or he’s just unwilling to listen to Catholics apologists, but it’s clear he makes no attempts at making correct statements… Watch any video debunking his claims and you’ll see what I mean.
@@mihaivesa7719 I could literally write a book on just this video on how he misrepresents the Catholic Church. But, this has been done before by other Catholic apologists so instead of me going through point by point, here’s a link to another video on Mike. Basically shows how he gets even the most basic information wrong like dates and places wrong (easily debunked). This guy either doesn’t do his homework or he just assumes nobody else cares enough to check his facts. Please watch this and you’ll understand what I mean.
@@mihaivesa7719 I can’t post the link on here for some reason but here’s the title and podcast info… “Does Ex-Catholic Expose Twisted teachings of the Catholic Church?” by Shameless Popery Podcast
Unless you eat My Flesh and drink My Blood you cannot have life in You and I will raise you up on the last day For MY Flesh Is Meat indeed and My Blood is Drink Indeed . Indeed means in reality.
THE LORD JESUS spoke NOT of eating His flesh and drinking His blood LITERALLY. This amounts to cannibalism and vampirism. THE LORD JESUS was revealing a spiritual TRUTH that you would believe in HIM and to remember HIS finished work on the cross, not reenact it. In John 6:63, HE summarized HIS BREAD OF LIFE discourse: IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING. THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE. Never forget the whole context.
The Roman Catholic Church is the Church Christ Himself founded. It’s the true church. I’m sad for any misguided Christian who has been misled and does not understand that.
Erin, All I certainly and definitively know that it's NOT the RCC religion as we know it today. Biblical and spiritual discernment is very needed in these last days. The church that the Lord Jesus founded and promised He will build in Matthew 16:18 that gates of hell will not prevail against it, is a body of born again believers and followers of Christ which were first called Christians in Antioch in the book of Acts: followers of the Way. We both know that THE WAY to heaven is only Jesus Christ.
These are the lies of the devil John 6 Unless You eat the flesh of the son of man and drink HIS Blood You have no life in You. Look up Eucharistic Miracles. JESUS wants to be united with physically. You don't go by the whole Bible. They walked with HIM no more. JESUS is the Lamb of GOD who takes away the sins of the world. Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of CHRIST.
Get Behind Me Satan! It does not matter how small the sins are, provided that their cumulative effect is to edge man away from the light and out into the nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed, the safest road to Hell is the gradual one, the gentle slope, the soft underfoot, without sudden turnings without milestones, without signposts. by C.S. Lewis
Always remember the people we are trying to Reach have been indoctrinated From infancy. Only the ones that have Been predestined for Salvation will be saved. But we can’t give up Trying.
@@henrybayard6574 Catholics allegiance is to their pope,Mary and their dead saints is not remaining in CHRIST. PRAYING THE ROSARY is not only anti-biblical but blasphemous. Telling your sins to a priest and thinking he can forgive them is an absurd concept.thinking he can go to school to learn how to forgive sin Is insane to say the least Kneeling and praying to statues in not being in CHRIST. REVELATION 17, 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. A church in the Bible is represented by a woman. SOUND FAMILIAR? CHRIST IS AN AFTERTHOUGHT IN CATHOLICISM. Their allegiance is to their church not JESUS CHRIST!
@@savedbygrace8337 yes of course. Let's go issue by issue. Let's start with the Rosary. You say its anti-biblical. Well in numbers 15: 37-40. God tells the Israelites to make tassels on the corners of garments and knots. They use the knots to remember all the commandments of God. Well if Jews can use tassels and knots to ponder on the word of God why can't Catholics use the rosary to remember the lord's prayer and the scriptures. I'll wait for your response.
He says Paul As glass is purified by fire so must we be purified. Before the Messiah came we are told souls of the dead were held in Shaol or Purgatory John's Gospel.
We are purified by trials the Bible is clear. The reason the souls were waiting for the sacrifice on the cross then they were released once sin was conquered on the cross.
Gendron "" there is no mention of the Eucharist in the Bible, The Catholic Church has made up that term "" ............ Now the truth ....14 Scripture verses that show Catholic Eucharist is the truth ................. Mark 14:22-24 While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Luke 13:26 Verse Concepts Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; Luke 22:19-20 And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. John 6:51 Verse Concepts I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:53-57 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. John 13:1-4 Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:46-47 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 20:7 Verse Concepts On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 1 Corinthians 11:20-34 Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper, for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.
You are in an Apostate Man made Church that is no older than 500 yrs and if you are an Evangilical then it is 50 yrs at the most and you have the audacity to ignorantly comment on Christ's Church 😅😅
@Sentinal6405 God bless you brother, the word of God holds the authority over man and tradition. May you truly accept Jesus alone for your salvation..Acts 11:26 the first church, they were called Christians, not catholic. You either trust in God or man and if you rely if the traditions of man that is dangerous.
@@jordanbass9167Read the writings of the Early Church Fathers , Companions of the Apostles and you will see that the church was referred to as Catholic Jesus founded a church it is the Catholic Church Scripture proves it History proves it And it can trace it roots from today right back to Pentecost
Even though Mike Gedron preaches another Gospel, I still love him very much in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink! If Mike is open, I am willing to have a public debate on TH-cam regarding the True Gospel!
I like to ask from where in the Scriptures that we see whether Old or New testament, is there ever a bloodless sacrifice to God that will please Him? Cain ever did once and was rejected. So why do you think the Eucharist in the Mass without the presence of blood is acceptable to God? For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’ - Leviticus 17:11 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. - Hebrews 9:22
@@codybridges9792 and for all who cooperate with God's saving grace and for who repent and bear fruit and forgive others and love one another and persevere to the end! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true
You know you’re on the wrong track when you would rather lie and slander Catholics over praising Jesus Jesus said “do THIS in remembrance of me” Catholics are the only faith who actually take the words of Christ serious. All I see is a bitter man w tons of pride and. Not following the words of Christ “Do this in remembrance of me” I think this man read “Tear out the alters and replace me with a preacher” Ok, please people Google “Steven Raye Catholic” And realize this man teachers Baptist tradition, which isn’t biblical
This man is scattering sheep! So sad! Read all 73 books of the Bible and actually read the Catholic Catechism and go to mass with an open heart and see for yourself. Talk to a devout Catholic who puts their complete faith in God. Don’t learn and ask questions about the Catholic teachings and faith from a lukewarm Catholic or an anti-Catholic Protestants.
How is he scattering the sheep? All true believers makes up the body of Christ. We are one church but worshipping at different parts of the world. RCC is just one of the apostate church which speaks the terminology of Christians on the surface but added so much Paganism rituals and dogmas into their doctrines. RCC are really not much different from JW and Mormons.
@@veekee75 He’s scattering because all Christian’s who have the Holy Spirit should only help each other with kindness. We really need to put our focus on helping non believers become Christian. There are a lot of false accusations and assumptions made about the Catholic Church. I just read some of these things and know for certain it’s a lie. It makes me so sad. It’s scattering because many have the Holy Spirit but are not experiencing the fullness of faith and united within the original Universal Christian Church. Many don’t receive the Eucharist just as Jesus told us to do. This man is pushing people who believe away from the Catholic Church. That is wrong!
JOHN 6:53 et Al These comments were made by JESUS figuratively. If JESUS meant them literally HE would have cut a piece of HIS flesh ,bled into a cup And literally given them these things to eat and drink. Matthew 13:34 “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:”
“I can do all things with a verse taken out of context.” Your attacks on Gendron are postured in ignorance and religious pride. You read one verse, not the Bible. You are trying to make that ONE verse fit into the Catholic Catechism. Is Jesus a Gate, is He a Vine, is He a Shepherd? No. Why not? John says He is all of these!! Because those with ears to hear and eyes to see can discern when Jesus is speaking in literal terms versus in spirit. Those who walked away when Jesus said to eat My body were Pharisees who could ONLY discern literally. God blinded them due to their religious pride. They could NOT discern spiritual teachings as the disciples could! Same as many do today when religion comes before studying the whole counsel of God. Your comments sound hostile and almost jealous toward Mike who has committed to speaking the Bible to those under the spell of the Vatican and it’s deception. It’s all about Jesus, not about Rome or the arrogance of the robed leaders in that religion.
@@onlyimagine4 of course he is a gate, a vine and a shepard and the Word of God. Catholics say "and" where protestants say" or". Mike's theology is reverse engineered from "Catholicism BAD" and it goes downhill from there. It's sad when you can't just read the Bible and believe what it says.
@@danvankouwenberg7234 The Bible should be taken literally except when it commands a figurative, metaphorical or spiritual interpretation. The Holy Spirit is our guide. He gives us discernment to know the difference. One can’t discern if you don’t STUDY the Bible and only READ it. Jesus is the Gate by which we must enter through to gain eternal life. This is not literal and I’m sorry you aren’t leaning into the Holy Spirit as your guide to discern the Holy Word. If you think He’s a literal Gate or a literal Vine then there’s nothing to discuss until you seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
@@onlyimagine4 Dan did not use the term "Literal" He said ""of course he is a gate, a vine and a Shepard and the Word of God " You used that as a smokescreen as you lost the argument about Jesus speaking literally about his body and blood.. """ ... - He who does not drink my blood and eat my flesh has no life in him """ (appears in 14 scripture -- start with John 6 )
@@1234poppycat “Lost” the argument? Are we in some sort of competition whereby one side ‘loses’ and one side ‘wins?’ We’re talking about scripture and the Holy Spirit as our Helper (as Jesus gave Him this title) in guiding us “into all the Truth.” The Holy Spirit always “wins” (when we don’t minimize His power as man-centric religions do). By the way, Jesus is not a gate as Dan said He is. He is not a Vine as Dan says He is and He is not a Shepherd either as Dan says He is. He is a figurative Gate whereby we ‘enter’ through into eternity , a figurative Vine whereby we are the figurative branches ‘feeding’ off of Him as the Vine, a figurative Shepherd whereby He is our Guide and we are His followers as figurative sheep, and He is figurative Bread to be eaten off of as spiritual food, eternally. Jesus says He is “to be worshipped in Spirit as the flesh profits nothing.” The Old Testament is a foreshadow of the New one. God sent physical bread to the Israelites in the desert to sustain them temporally as physical nourishment. God sent The Bread of Life (Jesus) as spiritual nourishment in the New Testament that we are commanded to feed off of spiritually and eternally once we come (eat of Him) and believe (drink the blood). You are blinded to spiritual truths as the Pharisees were. This is why they walked away when Jesus spoke of eating His body and drinking His blood. They could not discern spiritually, only literally because of their pride and arrogance. God blinds those in unbelief. This is why Jesus spoke in parables now and then. Those who could ONLY see through a literal lens could not understand. Jesus did this to separate the wheat (true believers) from the tares (those in unbelief who only followed Him for free LITERAL food as the feeding of the 5,000). Your religion is focused on how humans can play a role in eternal salvation. There is an exaggerated focus in Catholicism on this Earthly, temporal world. This is why you have to touch, taste and feel Jesus as a wafer when He said He is to be worshipped in Spirit. Come out of her before it’s too late, my friend. 🙏🏻
You people know nothing so stop bashing one another start embracing brotherhood through christ Jesus Catholics keep giving praise to the lord Jesus and keep your pictures depiction of him Jesus is proud that he was being depicted even in your dreams.
1. Is christ Lord? 2. Is christ sovereign? 3. Are his words open to negotiated interpretation? 4. Is context important? 5. Is the bible infallible? 6. Where does Christs words come from? 7. Who saves?

Matthew 13:13 does not say that Christ spoke in parables in all mixed company, in the context of the Parable of the Sower, he spoke to them in parables. This does not mean that Christ spoke in parables whenever he was in mixed company. He often proclaimed the good news to mixed company and it was not in parables. What Mike does in most of his videos is proof text passages out of context...
If you read John 6 from verse 1 to 71, then you will see that 1) its not about communion, 2) Jesus was making an analogy between physical food needed for the body, vs spiritual food needed for the soul, and 3) Jesus is asking for the people to come to faith and believe in Him. That is what that chapter is all about. Had nothing to do with communion which wasn't even instituted by Jesus at that time.
Yes in John 6 in one passage Jesus makes an analogy between food for the body and spiritual food The main part in John 6 .... is when Jesus says 3 times "You must eat my body and drink my blood" ..... "and many left him saying 'this is intolerable language' and they followed him no more "" I suppose they were modern day protestants who think they know better than Jesus !!
@@1234poppycat There are several main parts. One part is Jesus telling the crowd that their only true interest is getting a free meal...and not His message. Another part is Jesus saying that the only work of man is to believe in Him. Another part is Jesus saying that the words He spoke concerning "eat my flesh and drink my blood" are spiritual. And the last part is Peter saying that Jesus has "the words" to eternal life. I didn't hear anything about having to eat him. Most "protestants" that I know read, study and follow the Bible, just as I do. You should too.
AJA Deacon, Jesus conveyed Spiritual Truth in His Bread of Life Discourse in light of laying down of His life (John 10) by which His body would be wounded (Isaiah 52-53) and His blood would be shed (Hebrews) for our sins (Romans and the whole Bible). No tradition but Scriptures alone are the SUPREME AUTHORITY FOR FAITH AND CONDUCT. This is talking about faith in Him, not literally eating His body and drinking His blood as you interpret it. Yes He said it and I believe in what Jesus said because it's true, not how RCC interprets it through re-sacrificing Him daily through that which you call Mass. You need to read the book of Hebrews to understand that Jesus offered His body to be sacrificed ONCE, not daily.
@@ericevearitt3317 you can not see the way Jesus wants you to see and believe.. you are still using the hate preacher language “ re sacrifice Jesus” when I have already said it is joining in the same sacrifice Jesus made
OR your father on earth..... Wheres that found in the Bible. It not! And plenty of places in the Bible people are called Father. Abraham was called 7 times by Paul . Best you read your Bible , everything in context and that call no man father has nothing to do with Catholic Priest. Just bias propaganda
Your fighting a loosing battle, He said it’s His body period and you can’t find any evidence to the contrary but assumed ideas.Bible interpretation should be looked at the same as a murder trial in a courtroom because when you interpret it could be the life or death of souls.
Marlin you and all the poor souls trapped in this demonic false cult of Evangilicasm best start waking up and realize you all have been Lyed too There is only one Church founded by Jesus ,the Catholic Church not the 55,000 groups you have today all at odds with one another
Are you saying Jesus wasn’t telling the truth when He said this is my body? And are you saying that the Holy Spirit can’t change the host into His body through an ordained Priest,,
What he is saying is that Jesus did not say or mean what the CC says. No, the Holy Spirit can not change bread into Jesus's body! If you understood the old testament you would understand why. What you believe is NOT in the Bible. It is what a man-made religion states not what God says.
@@jgood6088 Wrong, wrong, wrong! The people all knew it was against levitical law to eat human flesh and drink blood as the pagans did. Which is exactly what you are doing!
@@stever4181 So shocking when Jesus said to "eat his flesh and drink his blood" Your so right , "Wrong , Wrong, Wrong!". What was Jesus thinking, did he say oh wait , I meant metaphorically. Pause, no, he doubled down didn't he ? Why did so many disciples leave after that pronouncement . Why did Jesus ask the remaining if they would leave also? You know the story, what was Peters response ?
@@stever4181 Nothing the Catholic believes or practices is unbiblical. The Church discerns explicitly or implicitly the Books of the Bible. You just have your man made opinion . Plenty of resources if you dare to consider Catholic sources rather than disgruntled anti Catholic sources. Come on Now !
Does your church realize the RCC changed the 4th Commandment. You need to be aware that the RCC changed the solemnity of Sabbath to Sun-day. The true Sabbath is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Satan wants worship! Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments. The 4th Commandment is the only one that starts with “remember “
The Christian day of worship occurred on the first day of the week before the Apostles all died out. Unlike you, I don't believe Jesus lied when He gave the Apostles the authority to bind and loose.
Gendron set up his own organisation to benefit Gendron. The you tube video debate with Tim Staples 5 years ago showed his lies Gendron was found out. Jesus and the disciples did not lie to spread their faith in God .. Why do you think it OK for your hate preacher to lie about Catholicism?? He says "Catholics Worship Mary" The Catholic Catechism says ""Worship" is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)"" He repeats this though corrected same with the Eucharist because there are large numbers who do not know the Bible and Catholicism and find it easy to fall for the glib one liner lies
You yourself have rejected the Gospel of St Luke's Gospel Virgin Mary is to be honoured. The Rosary is the Angel Gabriels announcement to the Virgin . Rather odd Rabbis are now reading MacCabees. Works of your own means works done outside the grace of God in a state of sin. The Word saved has a different meaning through the Scripture. Scripture tells us Shortly after the Jews gain Israel the Perpetual Sacrifice will be removed and the Abomination of Desolation replaced therin then comes the end of time for the Gentiles for Salvation comes from the Jews got Israel in 1948 Jesus tells Imposters and Hirelings and Apostates take the Vineyard at the end time They did Vatican11. Salvation comes from the Jews means War at the end time of the Gentiles . A Catholic that never read St Luke's Gospel give me a break. Did the Philipina women find husbands?
So this guy against Catholics celebrating mass. The last supper Lord Jesus's Christ said do this in memory of me, changed bread to his body and wine to his blood. So obviosiously he is talking thru his hat. And doesn't scripture, a charlatan.
:32 second in and there is already and error. The Eucharist isn’t offered for the sins of the previous week. The Eucharist is offered as the one and only sacrifice of Christ on the Cross for all sins everywhere across all time. In the Eucharist is the same offering across time and space of the one offering of Christ on the Cross , which also by the way is united with that same offering of himself at the last supper. Catholics believe all three of these events in God’s mysterious providence are one and the same.
The Catholic Church was begun by Jesus (God), who always did the Father's Will. Anyone who doesn't want to belong to God's Church is in BIG TROUBLE. He only began ONE TRUE CHURCH, NOT 40,000.!!!

My parents and I left the Catholic Church nearly 40 years ago. We have attended a Protestant Church ever since. We have had nothing to do with Catholicism. I was child, so I knew even less than my parents did. I don’t remember anything about going to the Catholic Church other than it was cold, depressing, and if I turned to look over my shoulder, I got yelled at by a mean old nun. This information he is talking about blows my mind. It makes sad for Catholics.
Catholics go to give. It's not about getting. ( At least not suppose to be). There is nothing wrong with obedience and discipline.

Transubstantiatian. Unless You eat the flesh of the son of Man and drink HIS Blood You have no life in You. JESUS meant this literally. We knew this because some followers said This teaching is too hard. JESUS didn't say Wait that's not what I meant. It states "They walked with HIM no more. That's how close a Catholic is to JESUS. JESUS is physically inside Us in Holy Communion. Look Up Transubstantiatian and Eucharistic Miracles. JESUS Is clea"Do this in Memory of ME ". There are Eucharistic Miracles that happened all around the world. Scientists did tests on it. All around the world the same blood type. All around the world its tissue from a stressed heart ❤️.

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats me will live because of me.". Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?" it offends protestants. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Jn 20:21, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."
Jn 17:18, "Even as thou hast sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world."
Jn 17:22-23, "And the glory that thou hast given Me, I have given to
Matt. 28, 18-20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore. and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus says to the crowd, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved." But in reference to the same people, Jesus immediately follows with "He who does not believe will be condemned." This demonstrates that one can be baptized and still not be a believer. This disproves the Protestant argument that one must be a believer to be baptized. There is nothing in the Bible about a "believer's baptism."
"Accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior," or "Ask Jesus into your heart" isn't the biblical answer.
It’s important to be saved from hell, damnation, and the stain of original sin, but what are we saved for? We are saved for union with Christ. Our salvation began when we were born again through baptism and God’s own Divine Life was restored in our souls, making us like Adam and Eve were in the Garden before the Original (first) Sin. As we go through life, we are united with Christ through the Sacraments he left as gifts for us, especially through Penance (forgiveness of our sins committed since Baptism) and the Eucharist (partaking of God’s own Life, His own Divine Nature, 2 Peter 1:4) - until that day when we are truly united with Him in heaven.
Scripture teaches that one’s final salvation depends on the state of the soul at death. As Jesus himself tells us, "He who endures to the end will be saved" (Matt. 24:13; cf. 25:31-46). One who dies in the state of friendship with God (the state of grace) will go to heaven. The one who dies in a state of rebellion against God (the state of mortal sin) will go to hell. (For the teaching on venial (non-deadly) and mortal (deadly) sins, see 1 John 5:16-17)
What I must do to be saved:
*I must be baptized with water and the Spirit. Mark 16:16, John 3:3-5, Titus 3:5, I Peter 3:20-21. (Exceptions: [1] If I desire Baptism but die before I can be baptized with water and the Spirit, God accepts my desire to be baptized, and [2] If I am killed (martyred) because of my faith, but I have not had the opportunity to be baptized, God accepts my death as my baptism, called the Baptism of Blood).
* I must do the will of God the Father. Matthew 7:21
* I must keep the Commandments of God. Matthew 5:19-20, Matthew 7:21, Matthew 19:17, 1 Timothy 6:14, and others.
* I must accept the Cross (suffering). Matthew 10:38, Matthew 16:24-25, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Luke 14:27. Phil 1:29, and others.
* I must be a member of God's true church. Acts 2:46-47.
* I must confess my sins. James 5:16, I John 1:9, John 20:19-23
* I must heed the words of St. Peter, the first Pope. Acts 11:13-14, Acts 15:7.
* I must eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus Christ. John 6:51-58, I Corinthians 10:16-17, 11:23-30.
* I must do unto others as I would have them do unto me and love my neighbor as myself. I must feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison or give other aid to those in need. Luke 10:33 ff, Mt 25:31-46. "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are very pleasing to God" Hebrews 13:16. Good works don’t save us, but we will be judged by them.
*I must strive to be holy. "Strive for peace with everyone and for that holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
*I must endure (persevere) to the end. Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:13, Mark 13:13.
And ... ? What else must I do?
Catechism
#432 The name "Jesus" signifies that the very name of God is present in the person of his Son, made man for the universal and definitive redemption from sins. It is the divine name that alone brings salvation, and henceforth all can invoke his name, for Jesus united himself to all men through his Incarnation, so that "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Nice copy and paste
Baptism is always followed salvation in the Bible. Even Jesus said you must be born again and then get baptized. It’s your first step to obedience to the Lord and following him. But you don’t have to be baptized to go to heaven and salvation is the most important part. The sinner on the cross was saved and went to heaven and he was never baptized. Baptism does not save you!
Accepting Jesus as your savior is the only answer and it is the blood of Jesus and his sacrifice that saves us and there is no other way to heaven! Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through him! It’s clear you don’t read your Bible because this is written all through the New Testament.
Christ offers His salvation as a free gift (Romans 5:15; 6:23), that can only be received by faith, apart from any works or merit on our part (Ephesians 2:8-9). As the apostle Paul tells us, the gospel is “the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). The same inspired author tells us, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).

Now separate works of the law Mosaic Law Paul was speaking about circumcision's from Good Works charity which Paul calls charity love which is greater than faith
And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2 (St Paul). What is charity other than helping the needy? Charity is clearly considered among good works. "And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Corinthians 13:13). This clearly puts charity BEFORE faith, so to say "faith alone" is all that is required of us is clearly contrary to Scripture.
Rom 2:6-7 Here’s what Paul says: For he will render to every man according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
Then there's verse Titus 3:14, where Paul says, “Let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need.” You see a need, and in love you try to meet it-that's a good work. Good works are the overflow of love for Christ that meets the needs of others.
This is exactly what Paul says in Titus 3:8: “The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.”
By your stubbornness and impenitent heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works: eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality through perseverance in good works, but wrath and fury to those who selfishly disobey the truth and obey wickedness." (Rom 2: 5-8)

You have a guard the rest of your life ! Before Jesus left us and ascended into heaven , he said he will never leave or foresake us ! He sent us the comforter ,The Holy Spirit, Heb. 13:5 and 6 . Jesus is the Word of God ! Read all about him . He is in your heart and spirit /mind! Trust him always!
The irony of this confusing teaching is that even Paul (who didn't actually witness John 6) proclaims, that NO ONE should receive the eucharist in an unworthy manner. And, so there were absolute silence from these accusers....Bam!
If you read 1 Corinthians chapter 11 carefully, Paul was talking about observing communion in a respectful manner. After all, it is about what Jesus did for us on the cross. Paul said:
"20 Therefore when you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord’s Supper. 21 For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I do not praise you."
Now the word eucharist in not in Scripture, but Paul says in verse 27:
"27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord."
And so what are people consuming? Bread and the Cup (wine or juice). Not flesh and blood. And so what does communion symbolize? The body and blood of our Lord. There is nothing confusing about it if you read and accept Scripture at face value.
@@spacecoastz4026 I do appreciate your perspective. It however remains your perspective, despite the divine revelation adopted by the early church fathers, including, Peter, Paul, Barnabas, John and so many prior to their death.
I would take your word for what its worth. Sadly, your word somehow conflicts with the teaching and understanding of the Apostolic succession instilled by Christ.
@@DavidLTJ And I don't believe that your assertions are correct. Paul, Peter, John, James, etc didn't say anything to that affect. In fact, the Gospel of John doesn't even cover the Last Supper.
Also, Paul says (supposedly after consecration) that it is of bread and of the cup. See 1 Corinthians 11 verse 26:
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Jesus has a physical glorified body..in Heaven. And eventually all those who are saved will too. But Jesus is not here....He said he is not here...but will return some day.
@@spacecoastz4026 The teaching of this scripture is difficult. The bread of life discourse begins in John 6:22, and the first point to address is the discussion of the heavenly bread. Jesus makes the point that as the Father sent manna from heaven for the physical nourishment of the Israelites, he has sent Jesus for the spiritual nourishment of the world. When Jesus announced this (6:41), the Jews murmured because he said that he had come down from heaven, not because he said that he was like bread. They understood his symbolic statement regarding the origin of the manna, and were scandalized by what it implied: “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’” (6:42).
Beginning in verse 43, Jesus replies to these objections. At the completion of his answer (6:51), he speaks of a bread that he is yet to give. The Jews’ understand that he is now speaking in a literal sense, and so they object, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So the Jews first objected because of what Jesus’ initial words meant symbolically, and now they object to what his second statement means literally. Had Jesus been speaking in a metaphorical sense here, this would be the perfect point to clarify his intentions.
Matthew 16:5-12 is one such example where Jesus’ listeners thought that he was speaking in a literal sense, and he had to correct them. In this passage, Christ was warning the disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The disciples concluded that he was speaking of the bread they had forgotten to bring for their journey. In seeing their confusion, Jesus had to reiterate that he was not speaking literally of bread.
Keeping this in mind, look how Jesus answers the Jews’ objections in John 6:53-58: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. . . . For my flesh is food indeed, and my flesh is drink indeed.” These words would hardly quell the Jew’s fear that Jesus spoke literally. Following this, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?”(6:60). At this point, we witness the only place in Scripture where anyone leaves Jesus for a doctrinal reason. Had Jesus been speaking metaphorically, what would have been so hard for the disciples to accept?
Paul understood this, hence his warning to fellow-Christians not to take this eucharist in a sinful state. I don't believe your understanding is aligned. But be that as it may, God bless!
@@DavidLTJ I don't have a problem w/ the real presence. However when the Lord's supper was specifically addressed by Paul, it wasn't whether a person was addressing the real presence or not. That could be implied by "not discerning the Lord's body", but Paul did not amplify that. Paul upbraided the church for sloppy practices over overindulging, drunkenness and not respecting the Lord's body.
Thank you Jesus for Your One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church I praise you for blessing us with the gift of Your Body Blood Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.
Mike: why not host a live podcast and take questions from Catholics! You should welcome ALL questions and not fear any question. First question is: are you fallible or infallible in your interpretation of scripture??
Well, he did say that he encourages everyone to test him using the Bible like the bereans did in Acts 17. So I think he'd say that he is certainly fallible. He might ask you in response if you are fallible in interpreting the magisterium of the church? Most people probably aren't as good at it as you might think. For example, a couple years ago pope Francis said that all the Catholics wrongly interpreted the magisterium when the CCC said that the death penalty was a good thing.

Ok, I am 38 seconds into this video, and Mr. Gendron is already off to a painfully wrong start:
1.) The priest does not "sacrifice Jesus as a victim..." when consecrating the bread and wine: The priest *re-presents* Christ's death and resurrection for our salvation. By doing so, and as a Vicar of Christ in that moment, it is then Christ Himself who makes Himself present in the Eucharist -- body, blood, soul, and divinity.
2.) Yet another issue with semantics: The Eucharist does continue redemption as if it is a way for us be re-saved every Mass. We Catholic Christians have believed -- for 2000 years now -- that our salvation is justified through God's grace. Period.
3.) As for the Eucharist's meaning, we receive the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist while also acknowledging the grace we have *already* received. It is only when we fall out of grace that we must be restore this with God. We do that through the Sacrament of Reconciliation (going to Confession).
All of this understanding is not only Biblical, it has 2000 years of a consistent Liturgy to back it up. Feel free to message me for what Catholic Christians actually believe, and not what Mr. Gendron, who appears to have been a poorly catechized Catholic, wants you to believe. It does not do any Christian any good to mispresent beliefs. After all, we all accept Christ as our Savior. It is more than time to separate fact from fiction and become more unified in how we discuss theological topics.

Vs 55, Jesus said, "For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed."
Vs 56, Jesus said, "He that eats My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him."
Did He say, 'He that eats a symbol of My flesh...'. How can a mere symbol fulfill this promise?
Does only a symbol of Christ dwell in us? I thought GOD Himself dwelt within us, 1John 4:12-13.
Vs 59, This verse shows that Jesus taught this discourse to all the people.
Vs 60,They doubt a third time when many disciples said, "This is a hard saying, who can hear it"?
The Jews were instilled by many Old Testament verses, admonishing them not to consume blood.
See Deut 12:23, Lev 17:11and 14. They must have thought this was something akin to cannibalism.
Is this what you think too?
At any point did Jesus back down? Explain to me, if this chapter is symbolic, why did He not explain the symbolism to them?
Vs 61, Jesus did not back down, for He said, "Does this offend you?"
He knew their thoughts and He certainly knew the Old Testament verses about the consumption of blood.
In the next verse, He separated spiritual things from earthly things.
Vs 63*, Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing. The words I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life."
Did He say He was speaking figuratively or in parables? This is the second verse detractors use to try to "prove" that Jesus spoke figuratively for the whole chapter. Did Jesus say "My" flesh? No, He said "the" flesh. What Jesus had said was, that we cannot accept this mystery if we accept it in too human a way, by having an earthly view of things. Those who can only think of cannibalism, are they not having an earthly view?
See John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." Verse 63 means that we should not have a carnal human understanding of His words, but a spiritual understanding.
In John, chapter 6, Jesus had not only called the 12 Apostles, there was also much larger group of other disciples. Things seemed to be going pretty well. That is until Jesus said “For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood,dwelleth in me, and I in him.” This was too much for many of his disciples and “From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” Jesus turns to the 12 and asks, “Will ye also go away? Simon Peter gives the same answer that I find myself saying to those who tell me I should leave the Catholic Church for this reason or that one, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” No matter what a certain priest does, no matter what scandals hit the church, despite whatever corruption or abuse of power might exist, and despite whatever mistakes the Church has made throughout history, “to whom shall we go?” for here is the body and blood of Christ given for a sinner as miserable as I.
Matt. 26:26-28; Mark. 14:22,24; Luke 22;19-20; 1 Cor. 11:24-25 - Jesus says, this IS my body and blood. Jesus does not say, this is a symbol of my body and blood.
Matt. 26:26; Mark. 14:22; Luke 22:19-20 - the Greek phrase is "Toutoestin to soma mou." This phraseology means "this is actually" or "this is really" my body and blood.😎😎
In John 6:63 Jesus summarizes His whole BREAD OF LIFE DISCOURSE. This concludes with faith in Him to have eternal life (v.35)
Well said.
In John chapter 6, Peter replied Jesus, "to whom shall we go, you have the words of eternal life". Mike gave the impression that Peter did not agree with the literal understanding of Jesus' discourse that he is the bread sent down from heaven and that his followers are to eat him just like the Israelites ate manna in the dessert. Now, if Peter did not agree with it as a literal interpretation then he too agrees with the Jews who had left. But the fact is, that Peter did not leave because he still believed Jesus must meant something other than what the Jews understood. Peter knew the understanding of Jews was wrong. It is more than probable that Peter did not comprehend how Jesus will fulfill this teaching then but he believed Jesus' words are true and will be fulfilled when the right time comes.
Mike's argument of what Jesus' followers were doing for about one and half years before the crucifixion? Were they gnawing Jesus' flesh? This reasoning reflects the dishonest mindset of Mike. It gives the impression that he is not interested in finding out the truth but is driven by the evil spirit to destroy the Catholic Church with false accusations.
Mike propagates Sola scriptura. But he inserted words to the scripture. On the last supper Jesus took the bread and gave it to his disciples saying this is my body. But Mike says, this is symbolic representation of my body. Mike inserted the word symbolic to Jesus' words. He added words which made the sentence completely different and yet he claims his teachings are Sola scriptura. If he can tell lies and twist Jesus' words like this, is he even a Christian?
Exhaustive scriptual detail in one place on the Bread of Heaven. Thank ypu for putting this together.
Alleluia.
Fratelli tutti
Para 15
Paul says not to receive the body and blood of Christ in an unworthy manner. And Jesus clearly stated to 'Do this in memory of me'
*Hard questions for Mike and Jane - if you want to Witness to Catholics, you need to:*
- Show who in the first 1,500 years of Christianity interpreted scripture as you do, that the bread and wine in the bread of life discourse are symbolic or figurative only.
- Explain how could Christendom have error'd so fast, so universally on this point?
- Explain why one should follow the fallible gospel of Mike and not all of Christendom for those first 1,000 plus years?
- Show who in those first 1,000+ years interpreted scripture as you do? Citations only please on every topic that you disagree with the Catholic Church.
- Explain why one should not trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who said the Church is the Pillar of Truth, that the Church is the Bulwark of Truth, and that the Church is where the manifold wisdom of God is made known?
- Explain how Jesus was undependable and that he lied when he said that he would lead his church to ALL truth?
- Do you feel Jesus is not powerful enough nor faithful enough to mean what he said?
- Admit that you are fallible
- Admit that since you are fallible, you could be in error with your personal and fallible interpretation of scripture, and the Catholic Church right.
- Explain how it is that you trust that your New Testament canon is right, when it was decided 100% by the 4th c Catholic Church, Catholic Bishops who would disagree with your interpretation of scripture repeatedly?
- Explain how it is that you believe your Old Testament is right, when those 4th c Bishops said it was 46 writings?
- How is it that you trust them to get the New Testament right, yet they error'd on the Old Testament - and they ALL celebrated the Mass which you reject? (note, there were no protestant churches at the time)
So Jesus said to them, _“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; 54 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him._
I'll trust the Word ... he's faithful .. and not the fallible gospel of Gendron.
Question for you.
Years ago, I placed my faith in the blood that Jesus shed at the cross and have believed in Jesus according to Romans 3;25-26 and so now my Father in Heaven has declared me righteous.
Why would I need to join a "Church" whose fathers teach me that even if I join this " Church" I can never know that I am saved from the wrath of God to come and then once I die I must go through who knows how years of Purgatory until all my sins are purged, and then I will finally experience Heaven forever?
The gospel means "glad tidings/good news. This teaching of the Roman Catholic Church doesn't sound like good news to me.
@@markbennett7797 "Question for you."
Hello Mark. Perhaps you too would answer the questions that I posed in my first post in this thread.
"Why would I need to join a "Church" "
Because Christ is it head now for 2,000 years, long, long before the Church of Gendron ever existed. The Church of Gendron has taken a Catholic book and has decapitated it from the faith from which it came. So too, the CoG even disagrees on how to interpret it with other protestants, which makes Jesus out to be undependable and a liar. Christ FAILED to lead his Church to ALL truth as he promised (Jn 16:13). Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses believe the same. There must have been a "great apostasy" right away and no one knew it, needing the CoG 200 years later to set things straight. That said, to have FAITH is to be FAITHFUL to all of what Christ commanded. When one reads the writings of this Church back in time, how scripture should be understood, one doesn't read many of the CoG beliefs. Not once, not anywhere in the world. So you join THE Church because of the truth it espouses, knowing Christ is its head, following him and the means he set up for salvation.
"I can never know that I am saved from the wrath of God to come "
You have infallible certitude that you are saved? Catholic's have exactly what scripture teaches, hopeful confidence, but not false assurance.
"once I die I must go through who knows how years of Purgatory "
A - When you die, you die in a state of sin and have an inclination to sin.
B - Yet there is no sin in heaven and there is no inclination to sin.
What do you call the process of the soul being transformed, from A to B ? There is indeed a process that soul - which does not die - goes through. Most protestants never, ever think about it as its too Catholic. Note, too, when we die, we are outside time and space we know it.
Scripture, 1 Cor 3 is so very clear in alluding to purgatory. Those in hell can never be saved. Those in heaven can never suffer loss. It is speaking of another state of being after death.
_For no other foundation can any one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any one builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble-each man’s work will become manifest; for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work which any man has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire_
Nearly 1,800 years ago, St Cyprian comments on this passage (Does the Church of Gendron know scripture better than St Cyprian?? No way!!).
_“For to adulterers even a time of repentance is granted by us, and peace is given. Yet virginity is not therefore deficient in the Church, nor does the glorious design of continence languish through the sins of others. The Church, crowned with so many virgins, flourishes; and chastity and modesty preserve the tenor of their glory. Nor is the vigour of continence broken down because repentance and pardon are facilitated to the adulterer. It is one thing to stand for pardon, another thing to attain to glory: it is one thing, when cast into prison, not to go out thence until one has paid the uttermost farthing; another thing at once to receive the wages of faith and courage. It is one thing, tortured by long suffering for sins, to be cleansed and long purged by fire; another to have purged all sins by suffering. It is one thing, in fine, to be in suspense till the sentence of God at the day of judgment; another to be at once crowned by the Lord.”_ St. Cyprian, To Antonianus, Epistle 51 (55):20 (A.D. 253).
St Cyril of Jerusalem too, before there was a bible as you have it today.
_“Then we commemorate also those who have fallen asleep before us, first Patriarchs, Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs, that at their prayers and intercessions God would receive our petition. Then on behalf also of the Holy Fathers and Bishops who have fallen asleep before us, and in a word of all who in past years have fallen asleep among us, believing that it will be a very great benefit to the souls, for whom the supplication is put up, while that holy and most awful sacrifice is set forth. And I wish to persuade you by an illustration. For I know that many say, what is a soul profited, which departs from this world either with sins, or without sins, if it be commemorated in the prayer? For if a king were to banish certain who had given him of-fence, and then those who belong to them should weave a crown and offer it to him on behalf of those under punishment, would he not grant a remission of their penalties? In the same way we, when we offer to Him our supplications for those who have fallen asleep, though they be sinners, weave no crown, but offer up Christ sacrificed for our sins, propitiating our merciful God for them as well as for ourselves.”_ Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures, 23:9,10 (c. A.D. 350).
@@TruthHasSpoken
Before I give you an answer as to why I am confident that I am saved from the wrath to come. I need to establish two things with you.
(1) Do you believe that all the words written in the New Testament, that contain the 4 Gospels as well as all the letters written by the apostles are infallible?
(2) Do you believe that the Apostle Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles and that the gospel that Paul preached and wrote about in his letters was the word of truth?
@@markbennett7797 1 - Properly speaking, scripture is both inspired and inerrant. Infallibility is a charism of the Church, to declare what is true (and false).
2 - yes.
Aside from my first post questions, here are the questions that I asked above. Very simple questions below
1. You have infallible certitude that you are saved? YES OR NO
2. What do you call the process of the soul being transformed, from A to B ?
A - When you die, you die in a state of sin and have an inclination to sin.
B - Yet there is no sin in heaven and there is no inclination to sin.
@@TruthHasSpoken
Hey TruthHasSpoken,
To answer your first question which is
"You have infallible certitude that you are saved? Yes or No
My answer is Yes!
I am confident that I am saved because I believe in the promises from my Father in Heaven that years ago after I heard the word of truth, the gospel of my salvation and then trusted in Jesus, I am saved from the wrath to come.
Here are the promises that Paul wrote to believers in the Church in Ephesus once they trusted in Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 1;3-13,
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory"
The Apostle Paul makes it very clear that once anyone who believes the word of truth, the gospel of their salvation and then trusts in Jesus Christ, that person is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. And the Holy Spirit is the earnest, which in Greek means guarantee of our inheritance until Christ returns for us who are His purchased possession. Please also note that Paul states in verse 11 that those who believe in Jesus Christ have already obtained an inheritance from God.
Paul received the gospel that he should preach directly from Jesus as he states in Galatians 1;11-12,
"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ."
I recently heard a Catholic apologist state that there is no clear description of the gospel any where the letters of the apostles. Yet, this statement is not true.
The Apostle Paul when writing to the believers in Jesus in Rome, he states in Romans 1;15,
"So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also."
Paul then goes on to define very clearly the gospel of the grace of God in
Romans 3;21-26,
"But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
Paul states in verse 22 that "the righteousness of God which is by faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe"
I love to be a Catholic church member,
I am still trying to find something in Catholicism that is contrary to biblical teaching ... Again Mike, the Transubstantiation is on (1 Corinthians 11:24-25) (John 6:53) (John 6:56) (Matthew 26:26) (+ 10 others !!)
And Baptism is on (John 3:5) (+6 others)
And Priests not marrying is on (1 Corinthians 7:32-35)
Confession is on (John 20:23) (1 John 1:9)
Last rites is on (James 5:14-16)
How about purgatory, praying to Mary or apostles, treasury of merit, conditional states of grace as decided by the RCC?
@@saintejeannedarc9460 moSt of them come down to not believing in the fiction of bible alone. As Jesus said to Peter whatever you bind on earth will be considered bound in heaven whatever you loose on Earth will be considered loose in heaven You are probably also confusing “ pray” with worship. And any theologian will tell you careful reading of Maccabee’s would lead you to understand the need for purgatory in Gods plan
@@1234poppycat I don't think I'm confusing praying w/ worship. Praying is communication and supplication to God. Praise is songs, psalms, lifting up holy hands unto God.
I see no Need for purgatory. It takes away from Christ's all sufficient sacrifice for our sins. Takes away from the grace by which we're saved. Leaves people in a state of fear and insecurity. It also claims that we need to pay for our own sins, when the Word seems crystal clear that Jesus paid for our sins, fully and completely.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 another Protestant catch phrase that in your mind is a criticism of catholoicum but is not. For two thousand years the Catholic Church has been preaching Christ s sacrifice was that we can be saved from our sins. He has done enough but he has told us how to lead a Christian life. It is no good to say I don’t need to bother with that cos Christs sacrifice was sufficient
@@1234poppycat It's not about a criticism of Catholicism, it's a defense of the sufficiency of Christ's atonement. I don't think this can be a fruitful conversion. You're playing Christian team sports, just looking to conquer the other side. You started out claiming your church was completely perfect, w/ no error in doctrine at all. Ok, so carry on.
Thank you Lord that Catholics recognize the false teacher who is full of hate and believes himself to be authority even though you never authorized him to speak for your church.
I thought this man was ex Catholic? He must never have been the Rosary is the Angel Gabriels announcement to the Virgin Mary in St Luke's Gospel so is the Magnificat in St Luke's Gospel. Martin Luther said beautiful words about Virgin Mary. Greeks and Orthodox and some Anglicans say the Salutation to Virgin Mary.
No excuses to pray to another . Only one God.

@@sudandhali7545 I ask God forgiveness for my sins every day.
It always amazes me how people ignore the teachings of the Apostles. Particularly John, who was at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified. Perhaps the people most in need of the truth are the 10,000 or 20,000 or now 40,000 Protestant denominations who continue to multiply each year based on their own interpretation of scripture.
The ones blind are the ones who depend on the 'church' and its faulty 7 sacraments for salvation included with the Cults and all other false religions in this world, Catholicism with keeping the Bible from people is no different.
Mike if I understand him correctly is rejecting sacramentalism. So he is rejecting a lot more than Catholicism. He sounds like a " baptist'
Sacramentalism is a hollow catholic invention. Just ask one of your graven images, they are there to help you. If Mary will stop crying for a minute, you can ask her graven image.
When a person is saved, he/she is "born again". That is the acceptance of the Gospel message of Salvation, believing in Jesus as Savior, and receiving the Holy Spirit. We move from being lost to saved, from a person of the world to being a Child of God. This is the gift of Grace from God...total justification, total forgiveness, total righteousness by the imputation of Christ's righteousness. This is all Scriptural truth. What more could we receive?
You have said it very well Spacecoastz, Christ and His finished work for salvation is all we need. Ephesians 2:8-9

look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
Mike has truly understood and has accepted through the new birth what John 8:31-32 and 36 says. Debates no longer impress him but presentation of biblical truth does. Paul warns in Titus 3:9-11 ~But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemning. You and Tim Staples need to be aware of what Paul said.
@@ericevearitt3317 So when he makes claims against the Catholic church and is made to look quite foolish because Catholic Christian truth is reviled to him and he looses the debate by a wide margin you say "debates no longer impress mike and still follow him !!
Don't forget to read Titus 3:9-11 which very much describes you.
@@ericevearitt3317 So you reject scripture and logic to move onto name calling just as Mr Gendron has done since he lost the debate!! Refuse to discuss OK

If you don't trust the Catholic Church on what it believes and teaches, why would you trust the Catholic Church to provide you with the Bible that She compiled and finalized by the Magisterium at the Council of Carthage under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the year 382 A.D., the one book you're basing your entire religion off of? And then, to have the gall to remove 7 of its books to justify your personal belief. Jesus established His One True Church with the Authority to TEACH His TRUTH, to INTERPRET Holy Scripture, and to distribute His Grace by way of the Sacraments, (also under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). He promised that His Church would exist until the end of the world. (Mat. 16:18) Mike Gendron and his followers are calling Jesus a liar by not accepting that fact; thus, he mocks everything that the Universal Church is and does. To mock the Church is to mock Christ. He continues to ignore theological explanations of what and why the Catholic Church has taught, believed, and practiced for the past 2,000 years; so, there is no excuse for his heresies. Pray for Mike Gendron and his misled followers for their conversion back to the True Church.
You are correct that Protestants REMOVED books from the Bible. I went to Catholic Church for 3 months. I studied and studied. I concluded on my own: penance is unnecessary, a person's fate is decided the minute they pass on (no amount of praying or indulgences will affect it). I can not definitively conclude 100% there is a purgatory OR not. I read the Catechism, it stated tradition holds equal weight with Bible scripture. Some traditions are ok, but it's not equal to the Bible. I concluded different people interpret the Bible scriptures in different ways....therefore the thousands of denominations.
1) Is it a condition of your salvation that you must repent of your sins (Luke 5:32, 15:7; Acts 11:18)...yes or no?

excellent ! No comments from the peanut gallery
Hahaha, love it!
Thank you bibleman!😅
Mike is the Pope of Gendronism.
No He's leading people away from JESUS CHRIST.
Let me get this straight, the doctrine of Purgatory was invented in 596, but the Catholics used the Septuagint (late 200s BC) as their Canon Old Testament because it contained proofs for Purgatory, and the Canon was established in AD 382. So did they make the Canon because of Purgatory, or was the idea of Purgatory invented 200 years later? It can't be both.
Confusion comes from the author of lies. Christ never mentioned it nor did scripture. The term is catholic and should not be used. We need stick with what we are given in His Holy word not given by the man/ the Vatican.

Catholics think it OK to call down a holy God at their will
@@sheliafarmer what ? I’m Catholic for 60yrs
Never heard of that
How do you know that it was the non-believers that left?? It does not say that they were non-believers. And it's Jesus really literally didn't mean that we have to eat his flesh and drink his blood, why didn't he call these people back and explain to them what he meant?? He just left them walk away... this has always puzzled me...
The clarity that Jesus Christ gave is found in John 6:35,40,47. And a summation of His bread of life discourse is given in John 6:63. Please read those passages Susie.
I see Jesus very much alive in the Catholic church
How?
It's another Jesus not the Biblical Jesus. The Lord Jesus Christ warned about that in Matthew 24 during His Olivet Discourse. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY A RELIGIOUSLY CREATED EUCHARISTIC CHRIST. ITS BEST TO STICK TO THE BIBLE!!!
@@ericevearitt3317you’re ignoring the Bible or just pick and choose what you want to believe
Not true Mary Dolan, I'm actually NOT ignoring the Bible, I'm just simply affirming what it says in Matthew 24 to contrast the false Christ that's being taught in the catholic mass which is NOT THE SAME AS THE BIBLICAL CHRIST.

So true.

Catholics worship man and follow man's traditions and hold the pope equal to scripture. Bible says put no trust in man. You pray to Mary and to dead saints which is called necromancy and is forbidden in scripture. We have ONE mediator and intercessor and that is Jesus Christ not Mary or dead saints. We are able to go to the Father by ourselves through Jesus and not go through a priest. Only God forgives us of sins not man. Bible says call no man father but your heavenly Father. Catholics have changed the 10 commandments, they changed the 2nd commandment where it says thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,or that is in the water under the earth. Jesus said "IT IS FINISHED". You are saved by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast. Jesus is enough. I encourage you to actually open your Bible and read the entire word of God and not what the pope says or what your priest says but what does God say. It's about a relationship with Christ and not about religion, works and traditions of man.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Psalms 146:3
Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
Exodus 20:4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
Romans 1:25
For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Isaiah 8:19
When they say to you, “Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they CONSULT the DEAD on behalf of the living?
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or ONE WHO CALLS UP THE DEAD. For whoever does these things is detestable to the Lord; and because of these detestable things the Lord your God will drive them out before you.
Matthew 6:51-66
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 59 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? 61 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the SPIRIT that QUICKENETH; the FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Mark 7:5-13
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Very well said, amazinggrace. It's very important to stick with SCRIPTURES ALONE, not to man made traditions such as doctrines of demons of the popes and bishops and priests. They're sinners like the rest of us. They need to repent of their sins and trust Jesus Christ alone as their LORD AND SAVIOR: NO SAINTS, NO MARY, NO ONE ELSE, BUT JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
Praying for all Catholics. They are being deceived!
Prime example of the blind leading the blind. Just because Mike is an ex-Catholic doesn’t mean he is an expert on it. In fact, he’s quite the opposite. I don’t know if he intentionally makes false claims or he’s just unwilling to listen to Catholics apologists, but it’s clear he makes no attempts at making correct statements… Watch any video debunking his claims and you’ll see what I mean.
What did he say in this video that is incorrect? Can you quote some of his incorrect statements?

THE LORD JESUS spoke NOT of eating His flesh and drinking His blood LITERALLY. This amounts to cannibalism and vampirism. THE LORD JESUS was revealing a spiritual TRUTH that you would believe in HIM and to remember HIS finished work on the cross, not reenact it. In John 6:63, HE summarized HIS BREAD OF LIFE discourse: IT IS THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE; THE FLESH PROFITS NOTHING. THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK TO YOU ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE. Never forget the whole context.
Can everyone read? It is known that many brilliant computer experts use forms of icon imagery to find the problems.
The solution to all our problems ie sins, is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
The Roman Catholic Church is the Church Christ Himself founded. It’s the true church. I’m sad for any misguided Christian who has been misled and does not understand that.
Erin, All I certainly and definitively know that it's NOT the RCC religion as we know it today. Biblical and spiritual discernment is very needed in these last days. The church that the Lord Jesus founded and promised He will build in Matthew 16:18 that gates of hell will not prevail against it, is a body of born again believers and followers of Christ which were first called Christians in Antioch in the book of Acts: followers of the Way. We both know that THE WAY to heaven is only Jesus Christ.

It does not matter how small the sins are,
provided that their cumulative effect
is to edge man away from the light
and out into the nothing.
Murder is no better than cards

without milestones, without signposts.

Well if Jews can use tassels and knots to ponder on the word of God why can't Catholics use the rosary to remember the lord's prayer and the scriptures. I'll wait for your response.
He says Paul As glass is purified by fire so must we be purified.
Before the Messiah came we are told souls of the dead were held in Shaol or Purgatory John's Gospel.
We are purified by trials the Bible is clear. The reason the souls were waiting for the sacrifice on the cross then they were released once sin was conquered on the cross.

Mark 14:22-24
While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it. And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

Luke 22:19-20
And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

John 13:1-4
Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 2:46-47

I like to ask from where in the Scriptures that we see whether Old or New testament, is there ever a bloodless sacrifice to God that will please Him? Cain ever did once and was rejected. So why do you think the Eucharist in the Mass without the presence of blood is acceptable to God?
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’
- Leviticus 17:11

Don't teach people from your mind. If you want to teach people you need infallible word (unmixed) of God.
How is he scattering the sheep? All true believers makes up the body of Christ. We are one church but worshipping at different parts of the world.
RCC is just one of the apostate church which speaks the terminology of Christians on the surface but added so much Paganism rituals and dogmas into their doctrines. RCC are really not much different from JW and Mormons.

There are a lot of false accusations and assumptions made about the Catholic Church. I just read some of these things and know for certain it’s a lie. It makes me so sad. It’s scattering because many have the Holy Spirit but are not experiencing the fullness of faith and united within the original Universal Christian Church.

“I can do all things with a verse taken out of context.”
Your attacks on Gendron are postured in ignorance and religious pride.
You read one verse, not the Bible.
You are trying to make that ONE verse fit into the Catholic Catechism.
Is Jesus a Gate, is He a Vine, is He a Shepherd? No. Why not? John says He is all of these!!
Because those with ears to hear and eyes to see can discern when Jesus is speaking in literal terms versus in spirit.
Those who walked away when Jesus said to eat My body were Pharisees who could ONLY discern literally. God blinded them due to their religious pride. They could NOT discern spiritual teachings as the disciples could!
Same as many do today when religion comes before studying the whole counsel of God.

@@1234poppycat “Lost” the argument? Are we in some sort of competition whereby one side ‘loses’ and one side ‘wins?’ We’re talking about scripture and the Holy Spirit as our Helper (as Jesus gave Him this title) in guiding us “into all the Truth.”
The Holy Spirit always “wins” (when we don’t minimize His power as man-centric religions do).
By the way, Jesus is not a gate as Dan said He is. He is not a Vine as Dan says He is and He is not a Shepherd either as Dan says He is. He is a figurative Gate whereby we ‘enter’ through into eternity , a figurative Vine whereby we are the figurative branches ‘feeding’ off of Him as the Vine, a figurative Shepherd whereby He is our Guide and we are His followers as figurative sheep, and He is figurative Bread to be eaten off of as spiritual food, eternally.
Jesus says He is “to be worshipped in Spirit as the flesh profits nothing.”
The Old Testament is a foreshadow of the New one. God sent physical bread to the Israelites in the desert to sustain them temporally as physical nourishment.
God sent The Bread of Life (Jesus) as spiritual nourishment in the New Testament that we are commanded to feed off of spiritually and eternally once we come (eat of Him) and believe (drink the blood).
You are blinded to spiritual truths as the Pharisees were. This is why they walked away when Jesus spoke of eating His body and drinking His blood. They could not discern spiritually, only literally because of their pride and arrogance.
God blinds those in unbelief. This is why Jesus spoke in parables now and then. Those who could ONLY see through a literal lens could not understand. Jesus did this to separate the wheat (true believers) from the tares (those in unbelief who only followed Him for free LITERAL food as the feeding of the 5,000).
Your religion is focused on how humans can play a role in eternal salvation.
There is an exaggerated focus in Catholicism on this Earthly, temporal world. This is why you have to touch, taste and feel Jesus as a wafer when He said He is to be worshipped in Spirit.

Matthew 13:13 does not say that Christ spoke in parables in all mixed company, in the context of the Parable of the Sower, he spoke to them in parables. This does not mean that Christ spoke in parables whenever he was in mixed company. He often proclaimed the good news to mixed company and it was not in parables. What Mike does in most of his videos is proof text passages out of context...
Do a hit piece on the Christ denying Zhidds! You wouldn't dare !
If you read John 6 from verse 1 to 71, then you will see that 1) its not about communion, 2) Jesus was making an analogy between physical food needed for the body, vs spiritual food needed for the soul, and 3) Jesus is asking for the people to come to faith and believe in Him. That is what that chapter is all about. Had nothing to do with communion which wasn't even instituted by Jesus at that time.
Very well said, Spacecoastz!

AJA Deacon, Jesus conveyed Spiritual Truth in His Bread of Life Discourse in light of laying down of His life (John 10) by which His body would be wounded (Isaiah 52-53) and His blood would be shed (Hebrews) for our sins (Romans and the whole Bible). No tradition but Scriptures alone are the SUPREME AUTHORITY FOR FAITH AND CONDUCT. This is talking about faith in Him, not literally eating His body and drinking His blood as you interpret it. Yes He said it and I believe in what Jesus said because it's true, not how RCC interprets it through re-sacrificing Him daily through that which you call Mass. You need to read the book of Hebrews to understand that Jesus offered His body to be sacrificed ONCE, not daily.
@@ericevearitt3317 you can not see the way Jesus wants you to see and believe.. you are still using the hate preacher language “ re sacrifice Jesus” when I have already said it is joining in the same sacrifice Jesus made
So Mike you are save by preaching against Catholic church?
Call no man your father is so easy to explain. Simple ! No man who isn’t God in heaven or your earthly father
OR your father on earth..... Wheres that found in the Bible.
It not! And plenty of places in the Bible people are called Father. Abraham was called 7 times by Paul . Best you read your Bible , everything in context and that call no man father has nothing to do with Catholic Priest. Just bias propaganda
@@jgood3047 We catholics love calling homosexual pedophiles Father.
@@peterzinya1 not very original.
@@jgood3047 Of course its not original. But its true.
@@peterzinya1 So your catholic? Or just a flame throwing unoriginal out dated lier .
If you're going to trash my faith at least get your lies straight.
Gendron is right
Your fighting a loosing battle, He said it’s His body period and you can’t find any evidence to the contrary but assumed ideas.Bible interpretation should be looked at the same as a murder trial in a courtroom because when you interpret it could be the life or death of souls.
Poor Mike .. called out for all his lies but still continues to
Poor you
You stand to the darkness of catholic antichrist
Marlin you and all the poor souls trapped in this demonic false cult of Evangilicasm best start waking up and realize you all have been Lyed too There is only one Church founded by Jesus ,the Catholic Church not the 55,000 groups you have today all at odds with one another
Gendron's soul is in great danger, as is that of anyone who follows this flake. He knows little about Catholicism. He never did his homework !!
Mike you betrayed Catholic church as Judas betrayed Jesus.
Mike is either disingenuous or he is ignorant of what context means, per his eisegis or hopscotch of 1 Peter 3:21.
He was interpreting that verse 1 Peter 3:21 in light of other Scriptures. Keep that in mind sir!
Are you saying Jesus wasn’t telling the truth when He said this is my body? And are you saying that the Holy Spirit can’t change the host into His body through an ordained Priest,,
What he is saying is that Jesus did not say or mean what the CC says. No, the Holy Spirit can not change bread into Jesus's body! If you understood the old testament you would understand why. What you believe is NOT in the Bible. It is what a man-made religion states not what God says.
@@stever4181 Yep Jesus couldn't convince the crowd when he insisted " you must eat my flesh and drink my blood" Why did they take Jesus literally ?
@@jgood6088 Wrong, wrong, wrong!
The people all knew it was against levitical law to eat human flesh and drink blood as the pagans did. Which is exactly what you are doing!
@@stever4181 So shocking when Jesus said to "eat his flesh and drink his blood" Your so right , "Wrong , Wrong, Wrong!". What was Jesus thinking, did he say oh wait , I meant metaphorically. Pause, no, he doubled down didn't he ? Why did so many disciples leave after that pronouncement . Why did Jesus ask the remaining if they would leave also? You know the story, what was Peters response ?
@@stever4181 Nothing the Catholic believes or practices is unbiblical. The Church discerns explicitly or implicitly the Books of the Bible. You just have your man made opinion .
Plenty of resources if you dare to consider Catholic sources rather than disgruntled anti Catholic sources. Come on Now !
Does your church realize the RCC changed the 4th Commandment. You need to be aware that the RCC changed the solemnity of Sabbath to Sun-day. The true Sabbath is sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Satan wants worship! Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments. The 4th Commandment is the only one that starts with “remember “
The Christian day of worship occurred on the first day of the week before the Apostles all died out. Unlike you, I don't believe Jesus lied when He gave the Apostles the authority to bind and loose.
Lilith isn’t in the RC bible
Weak answer from John 6. Believe is stated 98 times in the gospel of John
Gendron set up his own organisation to benefit Gendron. The you tube video debate with Tim Staples 5 years ago showed his lies Gendron was found out. Jesus and the disciples did not lie to spread their faith in God .. Why do you think it OK for your hate preacher to lie about Catholicism?? He says "Catholics Worship Mary" The Catholic Catechism says ""Worship" is reserved for the Godhead alone (Father Son and Holy Spirit)"" He repeats this though corrected same with the Eucharist because there are large numbers who do not know the Bible and Catholicism and find it easy to fall for the glib one liner lies
****WARNING**** Matthew Broderick is a robot.
You yourself have rejected the Gospel of St Luke's Gospel Virgin Mary is to be honoured. The Rosary is the Angel Gabriels announcement to the Virgin .
Rather odd Rabbis are now reading MacCabees.
Works of your own means works done outside the grace of God in a state of sin.
The Word saved has a different meaning through the Scripture.
Scripture tells us Shortly after the Jews gain Israel the Perpetual Sacrifice will be removed and the Abomination of Desolation replaced therin then comes the end of time for the Gentiles for Salvation comes from the Jews got Israel in 1948 Jesus tells Imposters and Hirelings and Apostates take the Vineyard at the end time They did Vatican11. Salvation comes from the Jews means War at the end time of the Gentiles .
A Catholic that never read St Luke's Gospel give me a break.
Did the Philipina women find husbands?
So this guy against Catholics celebrating mass. The last supper Lord Jesus's Christ said do this in memory of me, changed bread to his body and wine to his blood. So obviosiously he is talking thru his hat. And doesn't scripture, a charlatan.
:32 second in and there is already and error. The Eucharist isn’t offered for the sins of the previous week. The Eucharist is offered as the one and only sacrifice of Christ on the Cross for all sins everywhere across all time. In the Eucharist is the same offering across time and space of the one offering of Christ on the Cross , which also by the way is united with that same offering of himself at the last supper. Catholics believe all three of these events in God’s mysterious providence are one and the same.
The Catholic Church was begun by Jesus (God), who always did the Father's Will. Anyone who doesn't want to belong to God's Church is in BIG TROUBLE. He only began ONE TRUE CHURCH, NOT 40,000.!!!
look up on youtube and see Mike debate his views .... the main debate starts at 8 minutes following a long introduction .... """Debate: Catholic vs Protestant Salvation vesves Justification Tim Staples vs Mike Gendron""" This was 5 years ago and Mike lost logically and scripturally and has never debated with a Catholic in a public debate since !!!!!!!!! So he knows the truth but carries this on to con more people !!
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: “Weak Catholics become Evangelicals; Strong Evangelicals become Catholics.”
Umm no
@@romandaigle455 the axiom I quoted can be proven yes and true by a person like you as I can sense you were Catholic before with no or weak knowledge of the Bible so you were easily misled and fooled by Evangelicals into their fold. Right now I can sense you’re a mediocre or weak Evangelical. Do not be afraid or embarrassed. Deepen your reading, study, and comprehension of the Bible and be a strong Evangelical. And welcome back home to the original, true, and full Christian church founded by Jesus himself, the Catholic Church.
I don't think so.. You have to better that that.. just quoting Charlie Kirk who's probably just as spiritually lost as Catholics are.
@@vanillacreem816 I don’t know who Charlie Kirk is. The quote is from John Bergsma in his conversion memoir, Stunned by Scripture: How the Bible Made Me Catholic. I invite you to take up the book and read it.
Symbolic,Jesus Christ dd not cut his flesh and drank his own blood
